AFTERWORD
How time flies. It feels as if it were only yesterday when the second Bungo Stray Dogs novel was released. I spent too much time writing this novel sitting under the kotatsu, so I ended up hurting my back. Also, I learned I didn’t have any clothes to wear to go buy clothes for meetings, and I lost yet another sock to the abyss. But I’m doing well, despite that. I also have my heart set on never wearing mismatched socks again.
I don’t leave the house much due to the nature of my work, but the other day I went to the zoo for a change, where I saw a bird called a shoebill. It lorded over its surroundings with a piercing gaze befitting of a monarch. “Surrender and serve me or die resisting,” it seemed to say, to which I instinctively responded “Your Excellency!” and bowed. His Excellency’s expression didn’t change; he simply stood still all day, barely even moving every now and then. That’s when I thought to myself, I wish I could exude such a powerful aura and spend the rest of my life doing absolutely nothing, just like His Excellency!
At any rate, that was what I did during the time I wrote this novel. I hope you all enjoyed the two stories.
I would like to take this time to thank everyone for reading this book, and I would also like to extend my gratitude to illustrator Sango Harukawa and Editor I. for their help once more. Well, until we meet again!
