Infinite Dendrogram - Volume 10 - Chapter Aft

Afterword 

Cat: “And here we are! The tenth volume! Double digits! I’m the usual afterword cat, Cheshiiire!” 
Six: “I invaded the afterword last time, but now I’m here from the start. I’m Six, Sechs Würfel.” 
Cat: “Oh... the number?” 
Six: “I considered using ‘Evil,’ since I’m a bad slime, but I ultimately decided to go with this.” 
Cat: “If it hadn’t been for Xunyu and her ‘Xun,’ we’d all have a nice animal theme going on here, and now we have another mold-breakeerrr.” 
Six: “I would’ve used ‘Slime,’ but I feel like that takes too much space. Shu’s ‘Bear’ is already pushing it.” 
Cat: “What would you pick if you could use an abbreviation?” 
Six: “BoM. (Blob of Malice.)” 
Cat: “Wow... That sounds like the nickname of a portly Mafia boss who kills anyone who says it. It suits you well, King of Criiime.” 
Six: “Anyway, I’ve introduced myself, so let’s move on to the comment from the author himself.”

Dear readers, thank you for your purchase. I am the author, Kaido Sakon. 
After announcing the anime recently, I’ve received lots of words of encouragement from people hopeful for the production. Director Tomoki Kobayashi and everyone else on the team are working very diligently, and I believe the end result will answer your expectations. 
Also, I can’t reveal who they are yet, but the people working on the music are brilliant, as well! I am certain they will be revealed by the time volume 11 is released, so please wait for that, too. 

Speaking of releases, the spin-off manga where Juliet is the main character should have begun serialization in Monthly Comic Alive. Please enjoy Juliet and company’s adventures drawn in La-na’s beautiful, cute, and cool art style! 
I am the one writing it, by the way, and as I mention in the cover comment, this has increased my workload yet again. It’s a happy kind of hardship, but I won’t deny that it can be painful sometimes... I’ll persevere, though. 
My series is making new leaps and bounds this year, but don’t forget that Kami Imai’s manga adaptation of the original story is still going strong! The climax to the second volume is very fiery! 
Now, let’s talk about the upcoming volume 11. 
It’s planned to be the last volume to release before the anime starts airing, and the timing makes me feel like the hand of fate is at work here. 
Ray and company will soon start their adventure once again in the anime, and the volume coming out right before the airing begins happens to be a prequel about an event that happened sometime before Ray first set foot in Altar — an attack on the country by an unfathomably dangerous creature. 
It involves a face-off between the strongest monster and the kingdom’s strongest Masters. It’s a story from before the time when Ray and his gang had their humble beginnings. 
Please look forward to one of the highest-class battles in the history of Infinite Dendrogram. 

Six: “Volume 11, The Glory Selector, is coming out in October 2019. Please look forward to it... Oh? We’re not emphasizing the announcement with spacing this time?” 
Cat: “The amount of space we can dedicate to the afterword changes sometimes, and we got only three pages for this onnne. Your proper introduction to this corner and the author’s comment took up most of iiit.” 
Six: (I see. I guess that is also why it’s just the two of us this time.) 
Cat: “Anyway, it’s goodbye for now. Please continue supporting this seriiies.” 
Six: “May we meet again. I appear in the next volume, as well, by the way.”
