Afterword
It’s good to see you all again. I’m Shigeru Sagazaki. Thank you very much for picking up From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman Volume 4. I truly believe it is because of all your support that I’ve come this far. Thank you very much.
To tell you the truth, I turned in my manuscript for this volume at the very last second. Up until now, I’ve always written things and met my deadlines pretty naturally, but this time around, I went through the experience of being chased by my deadline.
Partially due to health reasons, I went through a period where I couldn’t get my pen to move. I ended up making it, and we published safely, but this was my first time panicking about my writing. If possible, I never want to go through that again.
Now then, the story this time around involves Beryl becoming a lecturer at the magic institute, meeting students and teachers there, and chitchatting with Ficelle. I was also hoping to get stuff in about Mewi’s daily life and Ficelle’s growth. Did you enjoy it? As for our main character’s growth, I believe it’s a key factor in continuing the story, so I’ll do my best to continue to express that.
A second printing of this series has been decided on, and including the manga version, we’ve surpassed two hundred thousand in sales. I’m truly happy that so many people are reading my work. Please continue to favor me with your patronage.
The manga’s second volume went on sale last month, so please pick that up too. Satou draws awesome action scenes. They’re so cool! You must see them.
A lot of great things have happened, but I’ll try not to sit on my laurels or get cocky about it—I’ll continue writing at my own pace. I’ve been maintaining a pretty steady schedule up until this point, and I’m hoping to keep that up. So, let me end this section with expectations that we’ll speak again after the same interval.
Until next time.
