Afterword

Long time no see, everyone. FUNA here.

Welcome to Volume 7. It’s been nearly two years since the release of Volume 1.

This time, Faleel was rescued from a mysterious organization!

Mile brought down the wrath of the heavens on the fiends who kidnapped her favorite little catgirl!

Reina proved she has a mind like a steel trap, and Mile has a mind like a swamp.

Mile was granted a small glimpse into the secrets of this world, courtesy of the kidnapping incident. Then there was the continuation of the Leatoria arc and the tale of the bandits. I hope you’ve enjoyed it.

Then, as I’m sure you may have heard… We’re getting an anime! The production planning is underway! Of course, there are plenty of productions that have flopped before they even started. It’s too soon to relax! We mustn’t set our hopes too high!!!

Even so, an “anime,” huh? That has such a nice ring to it, and I can’t help but have high hopes…

Of the over 550,000 works published on Shousetsuka ni Narou, only a few hundred have made it to publication. Of those, only a few dozen have been made into manga. And of those, only the smallest proportion have been made into an anime.

Of course, I dreamed of something like this, but I never thought I would see the day when it would actually come true…

Even having my work published was a dream come true. Two years and four months ago, I published the very first chapter of my first serialized work, Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement, with that dream in my head.

I began publishing Didn’t I Say To Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! on the same day that I concluded my second work, I Shall Survive Using Potions! About eight days later—which was two years and two months ago—I received an offer of publication.

One year and ten months ago, Volume 1 of my first-ever published work was released.

And then, I was contacted about the first stages of planning for an anime version.

These two years have really passed in the blink of an eye.

Well, of course, I spend most of my waking hours in front of a screen now, so even as the days roll by, there really isn’t much about those two years that stands out in my memory…

Publication, manga version, anime version… As the beat marches on, I feel as though I’ve already surpassed the ‘Narou Dream,’ but please let me keep dreaming just a little while longer.

This wonderful dream of an exciting fantasy world, along with Mile and the others—and you, the readers…

Along with the release of Volume 7 of Didn’t I Say To Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!, Volume 3 of the manga version is now available. Volume 3 of both 80,000 Gold and Potions, along with Volume 2 of both their manga versions, will soon be available from Kodansha’s K Light Novel Books imprint.

It’s a jet stream attack!

Please enjoy both series from Kodansha alongside the Average books.

The manga version of Abilities can be read online at Comic Earth Star (http://comic-earthstar.jp/), and the manga versions of 80,000 Gold and Potions can likewise be read online at Wednesday Sirius (http://seiga.nicovideo.jp/manga/official/w_sirius/).

Please enjoy these adaptations alongside the novels.

And finally, to the chief editor; to Itsuki Akata, the illustrator; to Yoichi Yamakami, the cover designer; and to everyone involved in the proofreading, editing, printing, binding, distribution, and selling of this book; to all the reviewers on Shousetsuka ni Narou who gave me their impressions, guidance, suggestions, and advice; and most of all, to everyone who’s welcomed my stories into their homes, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

I hope we can meet again, in Volume 8, and that we can stay together just a little while longer, for the sake of my hopes and the Crimson Vow’s dreams, and for the success of the anime…
