Slayers - Volume 6 - Chapter Aft

Afterword

Scene: Subordinate S

Bonsoir, everyone! A pleasure to meet those of you joining us for the first time with the reprints! I’m L-sama’s subordinate, S! I occasionally hosted the afterwords in the old versions and helped kill off the author! That said, I haven’t gotten the chance to be involved in the afterwords lately. My boss is always saying, “Since you don’t have anything better to do...” and sending me on retrieval quests while picking up tickets on the way. And then I come back to constant explosive mining! But these mundane tasks have finally earned me recognition! At last, I’ve won this honor from my boss! And as a result, I’ve been given this afterword all to myself!

[Fanfare interlude.]

I hired a band to play the fanfare, and I even had an outfit tailor-made for the occasion! This is all out of my own pocket, obviously, but I consider it a small price to pay for a prestigious duty like handling an afterword! Now, to kick things off and commemorate this afterword entrusted to my care, I will hereby read a letter L-sama left for me!

[The sound of an envelope being opened.] 

A-Ahem! “Due to page count issues, the afterword is only two pages this time. That just seems dumb, so I’m leaving it to you. L.”

Huh? Only... two pages? W-Wait a minute! Two pages?! And you made me waste precious lines reading that letter?! I still have so much to say! The Slayers series wouldn’t even exist without—

Afterword: Over.
