Afterword
This is Isle Osaki. Thank you for picking up volume three of Zero Believers. To my readers on Naro, thank you once again for all of your support.
This volume was the Roses arc, aka the “Softening Princess Sophia Arc.” In volume one she was cold, in volume two they fought, and in volume three... Well, it was a fairly quick development. She was never originally intended to be a heroine—I’d just lined her up to play the heel. On Naro there’s a trope where people who act against the protagonist get what’s coming to them. But Princess Sophia’s a girl, so I didn’t want whatever was “coming to her” to be too awful. Therefore, I thought that falling for the protagonist but getting shot down might be enough. Her crush on Makoto turned out to be cuter than I’d expected though, so she became a heroine in her own right. Incidentally, my notes for Prince Leonardo have “sub-heroine” written on them. It’s just the author’s craziness.
Finally, I’d like to thank my editor Y and my illustrator Tam-U. I hope that you readers will continue to support me so I can keep writing fun adventures into volume four.
