Afterword
Thank you for reading. This is Inaka.
At last, Volume 10! When I started writing this series, I never dreamed it would reach double digits. I can’t be grateful enough.
This is all thanks to you, my readers. A special thanks to everyone writing me to say they picked up the novels after watching the anime. Hats off to you!
This volume is a collection of short stories that ran in Dragon Magazine (with one additional chapter).
The extra chapter could be described as a prologue to the next volume. It introduces a new character who’ll play a major role there—and in a very important story. Look forward to it.
Once again, I have received endless support from Iida Pochi.; my editor, K; and everyone in editing, publishing, and sales. I’m a bit embarrassed to write the same thing each and every time, but I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
Speaking of which…
I was asked to say a few words at the wrap party for the anime. As a result, I was totally out of it from the moment I reached the venue…but Meicha kept me talking, and I managed to avoid running for the hills.
I am definitely better at writing than speaking. To the producer, director, cast, staff, and bingo record holder Spira Spica: You’ve all been incredible. I am truly blessed. I wish you all health, happiness, and continued success.
And finally, I must address myself—by the time this is published, I’ll be well into writing the next volume.
Everything you have done is for this moment. Get to it, Inaka.
Late Fall 2019, Dachima Inaka
