Afterword
Thank you very much for reading Volume 7 of How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord.
This is Yukiya Murasaki, the author.
I’ve gotten halfway through writing Horn’s academy arc, but I ran out of pages, so I hope I’ll be able to find the chance to include it next time. I already have the story in mind, so I think I’ll be able to publish it at some point.
At first I planned this volume to be the opener for the Demon Overlord arc, but the Dark Elf segments ended up having more content than I planned, so it ended up only going as far as the Elven forest part. I did manage to introduce the Demon Overlord’s underlings, so I somehow ended up fitting in something of what I wanted in the end...
If I’d have written it with the same page restriction as a typical light novel, I wouldn’t have managed to include everything, but I have my editor’s approval for this and we can deliver a somewhat larger page count than usual this time around.
I think it’s the first time I introduced two towns in one volume? And I introduced some new characters too. Nothing would make me happier than to know you enjoyed it.
Next volume is set to include Diablo’s training arc. Look forward to see him power up even more!
Now for some thank-yous:
To Takahiro Tsurusaki, thank you yet again for another volume of wonderful illustrations! They’re only getting more extreme and cute with each volume. You’ve now reintroduced me to the wonders of brown Elves.
To Ooishi, the designer from Afterglow, thank you as always.
To my editor, Shouji. You set up the schedule so we’d have more than enough time...but somehow things ended up the same way as always. I’m sorry. It’s thanks to you this volume got published.
To everyone at Kodansha’s editorial department and all those involved with the work, to the family and friends who supported me, and to my many readers who read this book: I offer a thank you of the highest level!
Yukiya Murasaki
