Infinite Dendrogram - Volume 6 - Chapter Aft

Afterword 
 
Cat: “Hello, I’m Cheshire and I didn’t get any scenes again.” 
Bear: “I’m Shu, and I used my old skills to show off my beary beautiful voice. Anyway...” 
Cat, Bear: “It didn’t come out at the end of the year! Sorry!” 
Cat: “As you’re surely aware by now, this volume came out on February 1st (in Japan).” 
Bear: “And that means that the previous volume’s announcement for this volume is now nothing but a lie. Appawling.” 
Fox: “Seriously. That was my first announcement, and now it’s all ruined.” 
Bear: “...And so the fox appears!” 
Fox: “You make it sound like I’m a ghost or some other monster.” 
Bear: “You might as well be.” 
Fox: “How harsh. Oh, I’m sure you already know me from this volume, but I’m the Fox, Tsukuyo Fuso. I hope we get along.” 
Cat: “‘The Normality-Consuming Nightmare, Tsukuyo Fuso.’” 
Bear: “‘The Crawling Cultist of Chaos, Tsukuyo Fuso.’” 
Fox: “You’re both so hard on me. You treat me like I’m some sort of yokai or eldritch creature.” 
Bear: “You deserve that beary much.” 
Fox: “How mean. You shouldn’t mistreat me just because I’m a yokai in real life.” 
Cat, Bear: “You are?!” 
Fox: “I’m joking. Why did you believe me?” 
Bear: (Because it seems likely.) 

Thank you for the purchase, dear readers. I’m the author, Sakon Kaido. 
Time flew by, and we are now at the 6th volume of Dendro. 
After the release of the 5th, we were blessed with the pleasant news that Infinite Dendrogram had received 3rd place in Takarajimasha’s Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! 2018 Bunko rankings, and 2nd in their new entries rankings. 
This couldn’t have happened without the support from you — the readers. And you’re also the reason why volume 6 could be released and introduce you to the story’s second part. 
It involves new characters, such as Tsukuyo Fuso, the kingdom’s final Superior; B3, the upperclassman Ray can rely on both in-game and out; and many others. Please look forward to the old and new cast’s new adventures in Infinite Dendrogram, and enjoy them for all they’re worth! 
With that in mind, volume 7 will cover everything until the end of this quest, revealing things such as the whereabouts of Louie’s dad, what happens during Windstar Festival, and the nature of Nemesis’s third form. 
The wind-clad, star-spangled volume 7. Little will give me more joy than your excitement for its release!

Bear: “Is it just me, or is the aufur a bit more hyped than usual?” 
Cat: “He’s probably happy that his work reached volume 6.” 
Fox: “Probably. And while you’re distracted by him, I’ll just announce another new thing!” 
Cat: “?!” 
Fox: “If all went well, volume 2 of the manga adaptation of Infinite Dendrogram should already be out! According to the author: ‘It’s so good! It’s much like reading Kami Imai’s own manga!’ More importantly, it’s the volume where I make my debut and show off my powers! Oh, and Rosa — who didn’t get an illustration in this book — also makes an appearance! And to top it all off, the end of the volume has an extra short story written by the author! It’s a real must-buy for any fan! OH, AND VOLUME 7 OF THE LIGHT NOVEL IS SET TO COME OUT IN JUNE 2018! (In Japan!)” 
Cat: “Aggressive direct marketing! Is this the fabled Kansai entrepreneurship?! ...Wait, you even took the volume 7 announcement!” 
Bear: “From the volume’s beginning to the end, the unbearable fox was with us all the way through.” 
Fox: “I might’ve been defeated by Figaro in Dendro and by B in real life... BUT I STILL HAVE MY LATENT POTENTIAL!” 
Cat: “Potential for what?! You just stole my announcement for the second time in a row! And stop speaking in caps lock!” 
Bear: “...Give up, Cheshire. I can’t bear to say this, but you probably won’t be getting a chance to do an announcement until you show up in the main story.” 
Cat: “BNYAAGH!” 
Fox: “Anyway, darlings, see you in volume 7.” 
Xun: “...I’m misSing out on a lOT of stuff, arEn’t I?”
