Papa no Iu Koto o Kikinasai! - Volume 1 - Chapter Aft

Afterword 

Every time I finish writing a novel, I would repeatedly ask myself: Is it really okay like this? Would the readers enjoy it? In the end, I would grab my favorite manga or novel, trying to reinvigorate myself, but when I don’t even have the time to do that, I would sate my apetite. Yesterday, I ran to a nearby restaurant late at night to buy fried rice with the logo of the shop printed on it, mango juice and so on, and gorged on it by myself the whole night. 
Just like that, at these times when the weather is getting cold, I feel rather uneasy that I still have a few winter clothes that I can wear. 
So writing novels can make you fatter…… I didn’t know that. 
A new series has started! I express my deepest thanks to the readers who bought this book, I am Matsu Tomohiro. 
And the readers who are selecting books at bookshops, please bring this book to the counter, you will definitely not regret it. 
Though I understand that starting a new series when ‘Mayoi Neko Over Run’ is still running is a gamble, but having Nakajima Yuka-sensei draw the illustrations is a rare occasion, so I placed reason aside, and grabbed the chance. 
Of course, about the ‘Mayoi Neko’ series, I adjusted the speed with Peco-sensei, and I would decrease the speed to three or four books a year, and I only have to write with the speed of one book each month, it feels like I can finish three books apiece for each series…… Probably. Though I would seem somewhat diffident saying that, I just couldn’t miss the chance of having a collaboration with my favorite illustrator, so I feel like trying. 
And just like that, I wrote ‘Papa no Iu Koto o Kikinasai!’ hoping that the readers of ‘Mayoi Neko Over Run!’ would like it, and the readers who don’t like ‘Mayoi Neko Over Run!’ would like it as well. 
Though the first episode is to write out the story of their encounter, it is planned that the story will become better, developing in the direction of family life and love. 
I wish that in this work, I can present the cuteness of girls other than Fumino and co. to the readers. 
And then, I’ll introduce to the readers Nakajima Yuka-sensei who drew the illustrations for this work, a famous artist in the doujinshi world. This artist who usually avoids taking part in commercial works in the past finally accepted the job after sincere pleas and getting to know the content of the work was a miracle. 
And I am prepared to present to the readers the first commercial work of Nakajima Yuka-sensei. 
And finally, I have to thank all of the people who helped to publish this work. 
And the most important thing is to express my deepest gratitude to you who read this work. 
If you are willing to continue to read the works after this, it will be an inexpressible happiness and honor for me. 
Matsu Tomohiro
