Afterword
Hello everyone, this is Tokuyama Ginjirou speaking. Reaching the 3rd volume, I’ve somewhat grown accustomed to this, but the biggest problem of writing for me is the question of “How were things eleven years ago?” I mean, I know we’re dealing with fiction here, and there’s a good chance someone might be reading this novel in ten years’ time, which is why a part of me just wants to move on with that, but as long as I’m writing something that is at least somewhat based on reality, I’d like to keep it realistic. You might be thinking “What is this guy on about?” but I am trying my best.
Thinking back to what was going on eleven years ago, I think about where I was living at the time, what I liked back then, what was popular…and so on. I’d also look up works that were released around the time, checking when apps came out, and which hit songs were popular at karaoke. And then I find myself going “What?! This came out ten years ago?!” like the old man that I am. Well, it is pretty fun in its own right, I have to say. When I think that someone might be reading this novel ten years down the line, I find myself motivated to leave behind something worthwhile.
As for this third volume, we’ve encountered yet another new character. I happen to have the habit of adding new characters, it seems…But to get back on track, whenever a new character appears, it means that the illustrator is tasked with bringing up a new design, and I start to feel guilty that I gave them more work. Especially since I look forward to these designs each time.
Our new character this time around is Ushiki Oguri, who indeed is quite adorable…maybe a bit too much. Yom-sensei! I can’t work if I keep staring at her illustrations! That being the case, I’m terribly thankful to them for making time during their busy day to provide these wonderful illustrations.
I also have eternal gratitude to my editor Satou-sama, who greatly assists me with the plot progression and writing. And of course, I have nothing but thankfulness to everyone helping me in releasing this novel, as well as all my dear readers. I hope you continue to support me from now on as well.
Tokuyama Ginjirou
