Goblin Slayer - Volume 3 - Chapter Aft

AFTERWORD 

Thank you, thank you. Kumo Kagyu here. I hope you enjoyed volume 3. 

That means this is also my third afterword, but I’m still not used to writing them. 

So, as ever, I’ll start with my thanks. 

First of all, I am so grateful to have made it to three books. It’s all because of my readers, my editors, the bookstore people, and so many others. Thank you, thank you. 

Thank you, as always, to everyone who encouraged me while I was writing on the web, as well as the site admin. 

All my gaming friends, thanks again. I’m sorry for that incident where I mistook you for one of the zombies and blew off your head with a shotgun. 

To my creative friends, I always find your advice extremely helpful. Thank you. 

Mr. Noboru Kannatuki, thank you for providing another volume of wonderful illustrations. I’m sorry I don’t have anything more productive to say than “Wow! That’s amazing!” every time I get your pictures. 

My gratitude goes out to all of you, all the time. 

The first collected volume of Mr. Kurose’s manga version of this series is coming out at about the same time as this book. 

It’s a comic full of goblins, whom Goblin Slayer slays. Wow! It’s amazing! 

Thank you for doing such constantly high-quality work. I’m sorry I don’t have anything more productive to say than “Yeah! That’s it! Do it! Finish him off!” every time I get your chapters. 

I hope you’ll continue working with a writer like me. 

In this story, Goblin Slayer slayed all the goblins who showed up. 

Maybe we’ll do something different for the next volume. I’m thinking of a collection of short stories about what other people get up to while he’s off slaying goblins. 

And maybe Spearman and Heavy Warrior sub in a weirdo instead of their scout, and he guides them up a tower. Do the three of them get along or not? Well, that’s how human relationships are. I think. 

And then there’s the drama CD… The drama CD? The drama CD! Hard to believe, isn’t it? 

I’m thinking it’s going to be an adventure involving Priestess and High Elf Archer. I hope you’ll enjoy it. 

To the actors and staff, I look forward to working with you. 

Gosh. Geez, I mean, I can’t help thinking about what an incredible thing this has become. A year ago, this wasn’t even my wildest dream. 

I mean, really, we have no idea what life has in store for us. 

It’s brought home to me just how important it is to get yourself out there and do things. 

And I’m going to do my best on everything coming up. I hope you’ll join me.
