Afterword
This doesn’t just go for Grimgar, it goes for my other novels as well, but I don’t do much planning before I write. This time, in particular, it wasn’t just that I didn’t do much planning, I did none at all. When I first started writing, even I had no idea how things were going to turn out, and where we would end up.
When it’s like this, how things will go really depends on the characters showing up in the novel. In this volume, I particularly leaned on Haruhiro’s group. Well, I did have the intention to make it that sort of story, but it seemed like it would be a little hard for just Haruhiro to do, so I had the rest work hard, too.
The road to Alterna still looks long and fraught with peril, but I’d like them to make it there somehow. Will they be able to, I wonder...?
I’ve run out of pages.
To my editor, Harada-san, to Eiri Shirai-san, to the designers of KOMEWORKS among others, to everyone involved in production and sales of this book, and finally to all of you people now holding this book, I offer my heartfelt appreciation and all of my love. Now, I lay down my pen for today.
I hope we will meet again.
