AFTERWORD
To those coming from the second volume, it’s nice to see you again.
To all new readers, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Myojin Katou.
Let’s get started. Do you like video games?
When I was in junior high, I’d buy a game a week. I fell into the routine of trying real-time attacks and immediately losing interest. But once I entered high school, I grew out of gaming for a variety of reasons. This continued into adulthood, though I’ve recently rediscovered my love for games.
Speaking of games, there is a problem that I cannot overcome.
That’s right: gamer rage.
It’s not like I’m an angry person, but when I get wrapped up in a game, it can get ugly… When I was a little kid playing a game about a plumber on a certain console for gamers, I would throw a tantrum when it got too hard. I rammed my little noggin into the screen, and I broke my expensive Game B—y, which obviously landed me a long scolding from my parents… That was one incident.
There are just some habits that you never grow out of. It seems I haven’t been able to fix my gamer rage at all. Take this recent incident: Things weren’t going as I liked, and it frustrated me, so I ended up throwing down the controller. Because of that, I hurt my fingers. The controller was fine, though. I kind of felt like I’d lost on a number of levels.
…It’s time for my words of gratitude.
To my editor: I know that I cause you problems every day, but I ask you not to abandon me.
To my illustrator, Sao Mizuno: Thank you for your high-quality illustrations, even though all you had to work on were really abstract ideas. Professionals are incredible.
Finally, to all my readers holding this book in your hand, you have my eternal gratitude. I pray we’ll meet again in Volume 4. Until next time, I’m signing off.
