Afterword
Thank you so much for picking up the second volume of my humble story! Tsukikage the author here.
Just like in volume one, I’ve packed in everything I wanted to write about. With all that wonderful content, there’s not too much left for me to discuss in this afterword. But there’s one thing I can tell: this book is mostly about Sitri Smart, who has made her appearance at the end of volume one. She’s the girl who looks like a damsel in distress on the cover.
When I first saw that cover, I was shaken. For a story driven by misunderstandings, I couldn’t have asked for more. I won’t mention any more about Sitri in case you haven’t read the volume yet.
Our story takes place after Krai and the Grievers have garnered fame over several years as treasure hunters. Naturally they had many adventures, and the characters had grown over the years leading up to the start of volume one.
When first conceptualizing these characters, I’d marked Sitri as a “timid girl.” This is true, and she shared Krai’s sensibilities—at least at the beginning of the Grievers’ careers. This is something I’d like to explore in the future. If I can’t fit it into the main series, I’ll find another way to tell her story.
I want to announce that the manga adaptation for this series is officially in the works! A story that I’d started out writing alone is now published through the help of my editors and illustrator—and now, with the help of an artist, it’ll become a manga. I’m half proud, half embarrassed almost—that’s a lot of emotions! Please look forward to reading about Krai and the Grievers in this new medium.

Finally, I’d like to wrap this up with thanks...to Chyko, the illustrator who has met my crazy demands for a giant golem, a bodybuilder in a banana hammock, as well as the usual cutesy girls. Thanks to mana material, I can put pretty much anything in this world, new or old... Sorry in advance.
And thanks to Kawaguchi, my editor, as well as everyone involved with the publishing at GC Novels and other corporations involved. My only note was “great” after the editing pass—not because I was lazy but because Kawaguchi had done such a perfect job. I look forward to working with you on the next volume.
And most of all, thanks to all the readers who have followed this story from its web debut all the way until now.
