Afterword
...a skeleton cloaked in rags and wielding a giant scythe.
I think most people probably imagine a death god just as Colonel Neinhardt describes (if not, please accept my apologies!). The death gods that appear in this book, however, are shadows that shimmer like the air above a flame. They might wield giant scythes, but apart from that they’re nothing alike. This is a bit of a spoiler, but as you’ll realize if you keep reading, Z might get called a god of death in this world, but we don’t know what he truly is.
This is the story of Olivia, taken in and raised by this self-declared god of death, using all the combat knowledge she’s been taught to plow through the battlefield with a cheerful smile and a spring in her step. It’s a kind of war chronicle, but I hope it’s not so heavy-handed that people who don’t like that sort of book can’t enjoy it.
Lastly, I’d like to make some acknowledgments. First, my editor, Higuchi-sama—thank you for your kindness even with all the headaches I cause you. To Cierra, who produced the illustrations, I have nothing but gratitude for your beautiful work that went above and beyond my own imagination. Finally, thank you so much to everyone who worked so hard to get this book published.
I’d also like to take this moment to express my gratitude to all of you reading this afterword. Thank you, with all my heart.
