I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level Max Level Witch - Volume 13 - Chapter Aft

AFTERWORD

Hello! This is Kisetsu Morita!

We’ve finally reached Volume 13. Now we’re getting into less significant numbers.

I have a lot of stories I want to tell that can only be told after a great number of books have been published already. I actually have those written and ready, so I would be delighted if you kept supporting me!

Now, let’s go through announcements.

The next drama CD will be coming out in October!

Like all previous times, the CD will be released as a part of the special edition of Volume 14 (and of course, a normal version of Volume 14 will come out at the same time). I hope you preorder!

A new voice coming to this CD will be Demon King Pecora!

Her voice actress will be…Yukari Tamura!

It’s such an honor to have her voice that I can scarcely put it into words, so please check out Yukari Tamura’s Pecora!

Volume 7 of the comic adaptation drawn by Yusuke Shiba is coming out in September!

Volume 7 focuses on how much Kuku has grown. I’d also be happy for you to see just how valiant Flatorte looks, too!

Volume 3 of Meishi Murakami’s I Was a Bottom-Tier Bureaucrat for 1,500 Years, and the Demon King Made Me a Minister is also coming out at the same time! Meishi Murakami has now adapted all chapters of the Bottom-Tier Bureaucrat spin-off. Thank you so much for everything!

I also had Meishi Murakami introduce an original character for the manga—Yuyu, a girl searching for some hot springs.

This was something I had been wanting for a long time as the original author, so I was so excited. The novels serve as the stem for the manga and anime adaptations, but nothing makes me feel more blessed as the author than to see new characters and ideas derive from those adaptations.

This might be a weird example because I’m not very good with technology, but I guess it feels like making a program that everyone around the world ends up using.

Also, both of these comics will have Pecora on the cover. Isn’t that exciting?!

And at the end of this month (July), our new spin-off will be getting a manga adaptation!

This spin-off had two chapters in this book already: It’s the Red-Dragon Academy for Girls! It will be illustrated by Hitsujibako!

There is such a cute cast of characters in this spin-off, including Laika during her student days, so I’m looking forward to it!

This serialization will be available to view on GanGan Online, just like the spin-off in this book. Please check out the site.

The anime, too, is steadily making progress.

I can’t announce anything yet, but I think news will be published in the future on the official Twitter, so please check out the Killing Slimes for 300 Years official account (@slime300_PR)!

I’m done with all the things I can announce, so it’s time to get into the real meat of the afterword.

There are new characters again in Volume 13. Thank you, Benio! One of these did not fall under the category of “cute girl,” so I feel like I may have caused you trouble… Ha-ha.

There are so many characters now that even I don’t know exactly how many there are, but I hope to slowly expand the cast even further with a variety of characters.

The other day, I saw someone online drawing fan art of a character that hasn’t shown up in the manga yet and appears pretty far along in the novels.

It was Nosonia.

I was so happy to see that people are paying attention to these characters!

I doubt the story will ever focus on anything but Azusa, Laika, and everyone else in the house in the highlands. But on the other hand, I want to write stories that will make you love the characters in the demon lands and the kingdom of the dead and everyone else scattered around, too.

In Volume 13, we had a story that involved Halkara’s museum. I’ve been very slowly incorporating new elements into the already-existing members of the house in the highlands.

I have no plans on fiddling with the basis of the story, since big changes to their life would make it a completely different kind of series, but I want to depict more interesting incidents and start incorporating new elements. I am going to keep expanding on things slowly!

Since the anime has started production, there are suddenly so many more people involved in the series. I sincerely thank all of them for their part in Killing Slimes.

And to all my readers who have been keeping up with the series so far, you have my genuine thanks! I’ll see you in the next volume, 14!
