Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e - Volume 5 - Chapter Aft

Afterword 
Hello, and a Happy New Year. This is Kinugasa Shougo.  

It's been 4 months and now volume 5 has been released. To tell the truth, I had planned on releasing it even earlier but yet again it ended up taking 4 months. Surely next time, is what I'd like to say but nothing good will come of declaring that here so I'll refrain.  

In this volume, the 2nd semester has started and the opener for it turned out to be the sports festival. This time around, the protagonist acts behind the scenes and the story's taken the form of the entire class and Horikita taking the main role. And finally, a person who is aware of the protagonist's past has appeared. Furthermore, it's also the volume that's the initial trigger causing the protagonist's existence to be recognized throughout the school. The story's still in its early stage but I'll keep working hard on it from now on as well so please look forward to it. 

Now then, I've been helped a lot by a variety of people last year as well. Most importantly is the illustrator, Tomose Shunsaku-sama. Also, each and every time I call him pointlessly and we end up chit-chatting but when it comes down to it, I'm most indebted to my editor-sama who's more reliable than anyone else.  
This year too, I sincerely hope to get along well.  

To all readers and staff. Please treat me well this year too.
