AFTERWORD
GREETINGS, MAKOTO INOUE HERE. Did you enjoy reading my little foray into the world of Arakawa Sensei’s Fullmetal Alchemist?
I regret to inform you, but this time the afterword is short, so I’ll give you a mini update! (Not about me, but about my pets.)
First, I must report back on the results of the “Can a bird fit in someone’s mouth?” experiments from the afterword of the fifth volume, The Ties That Bind! The truth is the experiments only really consisted of me opening my mouth really wide in front of my Java sparrow.
My bird looked very interested and had a good look around the inside of my mouth, but when I asked her, “Wanna come in?” with my mouth still open, she seemed to not take a liking to the way my tongue moved. I got pecked.
In conclusion, it seems that my sparrow does have an interest in the inside of people’s mouths, but she sure doesn’t care for tongues. My overall conclusion is “Ow.” That’s it!
The chipmunk is also doing fine. Once when I let him loose, he got on top of my keyboard. When I asked him, “Did you come to help?” he stepped on my delete key and got rid of five whole lines all at once.
And, when I screamed, my sparrow saw the inside of my mouth and gave me a pecking. And now you know what a hazardous work environment I’m toiling away in (ha ha).
Looks like we’ve gotten to the end. To Arakawa Sensei, who checked over the novel despite being busy; Nomoto-san, who always gave me pointers that were nothing short of genius; everyone else involved in the project; and all of you who read this book and everyone who sent in letters, I am genuinely grateful. Thank you so very much!
