She Professed Herself The Pupil Of The Wiseman (LN) - Volume 7 - Chapter Aft

Afterword

HI, YOU ALL KNOW how this works. It’s the afterword-slash-page-padder. Since we didn’t have one last volume, I want to send you off with a bit extra this time. Though honestly, I don’t know how many of you actually read this…

First, all of my gratitude to those of you who have purchased this book. It’s because of you all that we’ve released Volume 7. I’m so blessed that I can never thank you enough. But again: thank you!

Next: thanks to the people involved in the release. You can’t imagine how many people have a hand in the final release of a book like this… I am forever grateful to you all!

For example, fuzichoco, who’s handled all of the illustrations. I’m sure some of you out there picked this book up just for the beautiful art!

Did you get a good look at the cover? That’s ’choco for you! Just overwhelmingly incredible.

The setting of the cover is the Isuzu Alliance’s HQ. I had only envisioned a normal Heian-style building, but things are never quite that simple when fuzichoco’s in charge!

As many of you might be aware, fuzichoco’s true style comes out in fantasy Japanese settings. As a fan, I was more than happy to let them design the image of the Isuzu Alliance from the ground up. And that resulted in the cover you see today! I am truly happy that ’choco revamped it. Thank you!

Now, I’ve already put a lot of my joy into words, but we’re not done yet!

Next up: dicca*suemitsu!

Amazingly, this series has received a manga adaptation! Its first volume will be released alongside this volume of the light novel. Incredible!

So many things about Mira’s adventures that I couldn’t fit into words alone have been beautifully depicted in the manga. Every little thing is drawn in such vivid detail. And as the author, I always enjoy seeing our adorable heroine in so many different ways.

You’ll also get to see characters like Reynard and Joachim who might be harder to envision from text alone! Especially in their cases, their designs are just leagues beyond anything I’d ever imagined. It makes it a lot easier for me to envision them, too. (Jeez, so they were hunks all along, huh?)

But most of all, the feeling of having my writing made into a manga is indescribable. I’ve always loved manga, which only adds to the joy. Make sure you give the manga version a try!

Okay. I’ve said a lot by now, but I’ve still got page space! While we’re here, how about we discuss some behind-the-scenes stuff?

First… Ooh, I know. How about the latifward bonsai that Mira brought home to Solomon?

Solomon named it Dragon’s Cloud and takes very good care of it. He has other bonsai trees as well, which he likes to display in the castle courtyard. The courtyard isn’t just for Solomon; it’s a place of rest for the maids and servants as well. However, many find the bonsai corner rather unapproachable; they often call it the Little Forest and treat it as a sacred place.

Solomon laid out his many prized bonsai plants in the courtyard in hopes of showing everyone, but unfortunately…he doesn’t seem to be getting many takers.

Now as you might recall, Mira brought another souvenir home: the figure of the goddess of mercy she gave to Luminaria. It has a new home in the Mage Corps’ conference room. Luminaria decided to put it there to bring some life to the drab setting.

Perhaps because Luminaria was the one who did it, or perhaps because people agreed with her sensibilities, it was quite the popular decoration.

As a result, it became a popular topic of conversation among the Mage Corps. They believed that the Trinity needed to be reunited, and to that end, they needed the remaining two deities. Indeed, the goddess of mercy was not the only figure to be obtained; all three of the Trinity had images carved in their likeness. Call it a Trinity series.

Speaking of the figure, Mira may have obtained it with ease…but that was only because she came at a lucky time. Given how popular the figures were, they were actually quite hard to find. And now, such a rare item adorns the conference room all alone.

Like a virus spreading through the Mage Corps, it awakened their completionist spirit. The clerics were especially motivated to complete the set. To this day, the Mage Corps toils to obtain the remaining two and complete the Trinity.

How’s that for behind-the-scenes knowledge?

And there you have it: the full release of She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man Volume 7! I hope you enjoy it.
