Afterword

We’ve made it to volume 10! Double digits! Many of you may think that’s nothing special, but it really feels like a big turning point, doesn’t it? This is my first series to reach the double digit volume count, so it feels like I can proudly announce myself as “a double digit author” now. You may feel like there’s not much to take pride in there, but these days many series end up being cut short, so I feel like this is pretty impressive.

The page count for the afterword this time is troublingly high. I don’t have much to write about, so I’m not sure what to say. For starters, I guess I should advertise a bit.

・The manga My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me! —AΩ— is set to release its fifth volume at the same time as this book, on December 11th! That covers up until the end of volume 2, so it’s got a good climax! Please give it a read.

That’s it for that advertisement, but we still need a lot more.

・The manga of The God-Slaying Saint Who Needs No Second Strike ~ After Five Thousand Years of Slumber, the Saint Continues to Be the Strongest will release its second volume on December 28th. It’s being released by Futabasha Publishers and Monster Comics. Please give it a read as well.

Okay, two advertisements still isn’t enough.

・I’ll be releasing a new series next year. I can’t say when it’ll come out, what it’ll be called, or who will be publishing it yet (except that it will be different from the publishers of the above two works), but it should be coming out sometime in the first half of next year.

After all that advertising, I still need to write more. What can I talk about now? I guess I’ll talk about games.

・PS5

I wasn’t able to reserve one. I put it in my Amazon cart and my Rakuten Books cart—I did! But then the site got overloaded and crashed, so I couldn’t finish the purchase. By the time I was able to get back on the site, they were all gone. There’s no real need to rush it, though. I’ll just have to be patient until I get the chance to buy one. Make sure you stay away from resellers as well!

・Recently I’ve taken a liking to the game Carrion. It’s a retro-style Metroidvania game.

The unique point of the game is that you play as an amorphous monster. Rather than the cute, fuzzy, animal-eared mascot of some other games, you’re a red blob covered in tentacles. You’re a total monster. You use those tentacles to grab on to walls and attack people at high speed. Ah, yeah, you’re the one attacking people. I recommend it if you like those kinds of subversive games.

It looks like I still need to fill more space, so I’ll move on.

・GoTo Campaign. I feel like it’s good to make use of what’s available to you, so I’ve stayed overnight away from home four times recently. You may think it’s weird to stay at a hotel that’s less than a day away from your house, but visiting hot springs like that is pretty fun. They hand out coupons around my town, so I get a pretty good deal too. I’ve been partaking in Hyogo Prefecture’s “Visit the Five Famous Hot Springs of Hyogo” campaign. As I’m writing this I’m still on the first leg, but by the time this book comes out I’ll probably be into the second one. I thought that with the coupons I’d be able to buy all sorts of souvenirs for almost nothing, but it’s still really easy to go over budget. Actually, I’ve already spent far more than I should have...

・Smart Watch

I’ve tried a number of ways, but not being able to tell what time it is at any time is really inconvenient. Huh? You thought that since it’s a watch, you can tell time whenever you want? Smart watches are different. The screen uses a lot of electricity, so it often turns off to save power. You can set it to keep the screen always on, but then the battery dies super fast. If you want to see the time, you have to press the button or set it to turn the screen on when you turn your arm to look at it. You would think that would be enough, but having to take the extra time to turn the screen on yourself, or having to try over and over when it doesn’t realize the screen is supposed to turn on, makes you feel like you’re wasting a lot of time when all you want is to look at a clock.

So I’ve started thinking that the Wena is pretty convenient. I’ve ordered the Wena 3. It has the functions of a smart watch built into the band of an ordinary watch. That’s right! The watch part is just a normal clock, so you don’t have to worry about annoying things like not being able to check the time, or running out of batteries, or glare on the screen making it hard to read, or having to charge it all the time. “So it’s just a digital gadget stuck to a normal watch?” you may be asking, but having functions like access to email, alarms, and heart rate monitoring makes it really convenient.

All right, that should be enough to fill up the afterword!

So finally, my thanks.

To my supervising editor. I’m sorry for leaving things until the last minute again. Thank you so much.

For the illustrator, Chisato Naruse. Thank you for your wonderful illustrations. I feel really bad for leaving things so close to the deadline all the time. I’m going to try really hard to keep a set schedule next time!
