She Professed Herself The Pupil Of The Wiseman (LN) - Volume 4 - Chapter Aft

Afterword

THAT BRINGS US to the afterword! First, I’d like to thank everyone involved in this publication. Of course, that includes everybody who bought and read it.

Thank you so much, really. Because of you, I think I’ll be able to eke out a living this year. I hope I can do that again next year! My fate’s in your hands, everyone!

My ultimate goal is to eat at restaurants whenever I want to. To be able to get hungry while I’m out, and not have to remember what I have at home and formulate a plan based on that. To enjoy a lovely meal at whichever place catches my eye. Don’t you love the thought of being a familiar face at a restaurant?

As such, if this book sells well, I wanna buy KFC for Christmas this year. As I write this, it’s October 28th. I barely have two months to make it happen! Imagining what I’ll eat on Christmas Day gets me giddy.

I’ll still be alone as always, but I do just love the atmosphere of Christmas. All the Santa-hunting normie couples will be wandering around that time of year…but they actually don’t bother me.

Let’s say it’s less “Christmas” I love, and more “the time right before Christmas.” When the whole city lights up with a fantastical atmosphere, that’s just really fun to me.

For real: KFC. I seriously want to make it happen this year. I hope you’re listening, all you Santas out there!

Speaking of Christmas… You know how, as soon as the twenty-sixth comes, you get that sudden “the year is ending” feeling? “On this day next week, it’ll be next year!” What a sensation.

Two more months! I guess, when this book comes out, it’ll only be one month. Lately, each year seems to go by so fast. Maybe that just shows how little I’m doing with my life right now.

Still, there’s something nice about that end-of-year feeling. It seems like the last episode, y’know? Speaking of, it’s the last-episode rush in anime right now. What an emotional time of year.

Sorry to change the subject, but do you know about Google Street View?

It’s lovely. You can vacation in other countries from the comfort of your own home. Ever since I learned about it, I’ve become something of a globetrotter myself. Just the other day, I took a nice stroll through Prague. What fantastic times we live in.

Lately, I’ve found a new way to enjoy Street View. Something I’ve always done for fun is to look up a building’s information and floor plan, and imagine what a day in the life is like there. If you combine that with Street View, you can even replicate taking a walk in the neighborhood!

A luxurious life with millions of homes at my disposal. Deluxe vacations! What’s so wrong with me enjoying a fulfilling pretend-vacation once in a while?!

Anyway, as usual, fuzichoco brought us such perfect illustrations. Thank you for that. I’m always unbearably excited to receive the rough drafts from my editor. When I saw the finished cover image, I threw that bad boy up as my desktop wallpaper immediately. Words can’t express how fulfilling that was.

Bye-bye! I’ll see you next time.
