Afterword
Thank you very much for taking the time to read my work. It’s Tsukikage, and I’m very glad to meet you all again for volume four. At this point, I’ve run out of things to talk about in the afterword. I had an excess of pages so I wrote a little short story at the end. By doing this, I get to both fill up the afterword and write a short story. Am I...on fire?
Well then, with this volume being what it is, it’s hard to say too much, but this was the first half of the vacation arc. This will be a special set containing a joyful Krai, Liz, and Sitri; Tino at her wit’s end in spite of her best efforts; an energetic Killiam and Drink; and Arnold in a mad frenzy. There will be new characters but it’ll be a bit chaotic.
It’s probably a bit late to say this, but this volume was mostly to set the stage for the following one. Plans for the next volume include finally meeting more members of Grieving Souls and Tino taking a dip in a hot spring. I hope to see you all then!
(Sorry if I can’t finish the next volume.)
I feel like I say this every volume, but the illustrations were wonderful! Chyko’s versatility is already plenty apparent, but I’m also constantly impressed by the range of my editor’s talents. For those who bought a physical copy, if you remove the obi along the bottom of the book, you can spy a sorry-looking Tino, so please remove it. Do it for Grand Tino.
Regarding the contents, we had a variety of monsters appear this time, such as Killiam and Drink. Maybe I should add more girls to this series? Well, the next volume will have chaos at a hot spring so that will make up for this volume. Of course, the ever-adorable Lizzy was in this volume! Look forward to that, those of you who start a book at the afterword!
In other news, a manga adaptation has been ongoing, volume one came out October 26, 2019. Hebino Rai’s talents have done wonders for the cool, cute, and cruel moments of this series! Tino’s very hippity-hoppity, Krai’s very slovenly. Please give it a look if you haven’t already!
As always, I’d like to round things off with some thanks.
I’d like to show my deep gratitude to Chyko for providing excellent illustrations for both this volume and the previous ones. I can’t thank you enough for drawing my vague requests like “I’d like to have Super Tino in the volume” and my absurd requests like “Can we have Killiam riding Drink?” Next volume will (probably) have a hot springs dragon. I look forward to continuing working with you.
Next, I’d like to thank my editor Kawaguchi along with everyone at the editing department of GC Novels and everyone else involved in the publication of this book. Once again, you’ve all done so much for me. Your continued dedication to fulfilling my requests regarding the cover illustrations makes you the best out there. Thank you very much, I hope we can continue working together. Please make sure to get enough sleep.
And, finally, I’d like to offer my deepest thanks to all the readers who have supported me thus far.
Thank you very much!
