Afterword
HERE WE ARE AGAIN: the afterword, also known as the page-padder.
First, I would like to thank you for buying my book! And thank you as well to everyone involved in its publication.
This volume is chock-full of my personal yearnings.
Being jostled by the train as you look off into the beautiful horizon, enjoying a meal you painstakingly chose at a station, villages occasionally appearing in the distance, sights that feel nostalgic even the first time you see them, traveling as freely as the wind blows… How I wish I could experience such a journey myself.
…Don’t you feel the same way? I do. Often. So I took my feelings and stuffed them into Volume 5! I hope you liked it.
Also, I just love train-station bentos. I’ve had readers send in websites with lists of station bentos before, and they seem so delicious. I just ate, and I’m already falling into the trap of wanting to eat again!
What is that strange allure that station bentos have?
I want them, but they’re expensive. But I swear, one day, I’m gonna do it. I can’t afford railroad trips, though. I’ll just have to eat one from the station in my town.
Also, I hear they let you buy some online! I’d love to give that a try. I have to keep working toward that goal…

By the way, this volume has two versions: one normal one, and one with a drama CD included! What a shocking development! I was blown away when I went to the CD recording. So many thoughts went through my mind, like, Wow, real voice actors! That experience was once in a lifetime. Again, a huge thank you to everyone involved!
Incidentally, I wrote a whole new story for the drama CD. I did my best, really. Those who have heard it probably know, but there are plenty of mentions of panties! All according to plan. Heh heh heh.
Changing the subject! Lately (it’s March, by the way), PlayStation VR has been a huge topic of conversation. I hope they make a game where you can explore another world! Ruins sleeping in the depths of forests, massive shrines sunken in the sea, hidden passages behind waterfalls that lead to underground cities… Oh, I can’t take it! Imagine: you’re chasing monsters, running away from dragons, and before you realize it, you’ve gotten lost and wandered into a hidden village!
Being friends with a Pegasus and flying around sounds lovely, too. You cross the ocean, and you find a range of floating islands! Endless ruins, endless riches to be found, and the mysteries of the world revealed along the way. Just perfect.
When I think that a game like that could come out some day, my excitement is boundless.
Also, can’t miss this one: thank you, fuzichoco! Look at that cover. This is what I’ve been dreaming of.
Phew, I could go on forever. I wanna ride that train! I wanna ride it far, far away! Escape the galaxy and fly off to the ends of space! Look out the window and see galaxies, nebulas, and planets. All kinds of aliens could ride it, too. Doesn’t that sound fun? Oh, it really does…
Anyway, that about does it for this one. I’ve been getting better at eating my vegetables lately, thanks in no small part to everyone who’s bought my books.
Hot pot is great, and it’s got so many veggies. How healthy is that?! My current goal is to add more kinds of ingredients, and I’m counting on your support to make it happen!
