Shinwa Densetsu no Eiyuu no Isekaitan - Volume 10 - Chapter Aft

Afterword

Thank you for picking up volume 10 of The Mythical Hero’s Otherworld Chronicles. To my returning readers, welcome back. It’s been too long.

Let me ask you right out of the gate: have you looked at the front cover? You may notice this volume features somebody who’s been around since volume 1 but has never made a cover appearance. That’s right: the archpriestess. Look at her playing with that little bird with a gentle smile on her face, the very picture of compassion. Beautiful, simply beautiful. But that’s the least of her charms. Her temple garb is marvelous, don’t you think? It’s so pure, yet filled with incredible sexiness, I hardly know where to look. All this to say, if this volume made you like the archpriestess, I could jump for joy.

But there’s someone else there whom we mustn’t forget. Surely some of my eagle-eyed readers will have noticed a certain boy radiating a fierce chuuni aura? Of course you did. I don’t doubt your right eyes began to ache the moment you saw him. Look at him, mantle blowing in the wind, posing as if to say real men let their dual-wielding do the talking. He’s incredibly cool. I feel like I’ll have some extra-special delusions before I go to sleep tonight.

Anyway, I’m pushing my line count, so I’d better get to the thank-yous. But before that, there’s one more thing I’d like you to notice. Please, I beg you, look at the color illustration. Do you see her? There, on the bottom left. Yeah, the little one. The itty-bitty one. It’s chibi Aura! Isn’t she cute? Or at least, that’s what my editor, I-sama, said, and I vehemently agree.

All right, for real this time:

To Ruria Miyuki-sama, your gorgeous illustrations are a balm for my heart and fuel for my chuuni soul. I transcend my limits with every new piece of work you send.

To my editor, I-sama, thank you for putting up with me. I’ve only been getting worse going into the new year, and I’m sure you must be frustrated, but I hope you’ll continue to lend me your expertise.

To everybody in the editing department, the proofreaders, the designers, and everybody else involved in making this book a reality, I look forward to working with you again.

And to you, my readers, we’ve managed to get to volume 10, and it’s only possible because of your support. I’m incredibly grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I’ll be keeping the chuuni rays set to red-hot over here, so I hope you’ll continue to support me.

Until we meet again.

奉 (Tatematsuri)
