Afterword
Thank you very much for kindly picking up my humble work! We’ve already reached volume six, which I am relieved to see published. Hello, it’s Tsukikage.
The previous volume saw most of Grieving Souls reunited. With that, we’re finally getting started for real. This volume featured all the childhood friends, a Flying Carpet, and a perfectly comfortable and BRAND NEW wall spaghetti party! We saw carpets, the desert, airships, and foxes. Last volume was also heavy on humor, and once again we had new characters, old characters, chaos, and intricacies, all layered into a big jumble.
As an aside, the Carpet and Fox were both elements I had been wanting to introduce for some time. In the world of Grieving Soul, treasure vaults are past information made manifest by the power of mana material. That information is drawn from real civilizations lost to time, past memories, as well as folklore, fairy tales, ghost stories, mythologies and more. At the end of this volume, Krai obtains a certain item. You might say the setting is starting to show its true colors at last. Our illustrator, Chyko, has their work cut out for them.
Also, with this volume we’re doing a collaboration with another series. On top of that, we’re putting out special editions (that come with an acrylic key chain and bonus content!), releasing another volume of store-exclusive bonus content, and more is in the works!
Furthermore, this series received the honor of ranking number seven for the tankobon category of the 2021 Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! This and all the support I’ve gained are far beyond anything I expected. I hope you’ll all continue to enjoy my work!
As this volume comes out, the fourth volume of the manga adaptation should also be coming out. It’s filled to the brim with cute shots of Liz, pitiful shots of Tino, and easygoing shots of Krai, so please give it a look!

Now it’s time to finish up with the traditional thank yous.
Thank you very much to Chyko for once again providing excellent illustrations. The Carpet almost looks alive, but what about the Carpet’s master?! I hope I can continue to see my volumes blessed by your work.
My editor Kawaguchi and everyone at the CG Novels editing department and related companies, you’ve once again all done so much for me. I’m sorry for the high page counts. Next time, well, it’s too early to say. It might be as thick as a dictionary (I’m joking). Thank you all for your invaluable assistance!
And finally, I offer my profound thanks to all the readers who have stuck with me so far. I’ll do everything I can to continue putting out something you can enjoy, so I hope you’ll all pick up further volumes of both this and the manga!
