Afterword
Thank you for picking up “Continued: Gifting this Wonderful World with Explosions! 2”
First off, allow me to apologize to my readers.
About the Crystal Liger that appeared in this book, it’s actually the evolved form of the Rookie Killer that appeared in a store exclusive short story “The Crimson Eyed Rookie Killer” that came out quite some time ago.
Those who haven’t read that exclusive short story might have some trouble following along, so my apologies for that.
Basing this volume on the contents of a short story might not be a very good practice, but that was a particularly favourite side story of mine, so I apologize for doing so.
To briefly summarise it, a special herbivorous Rookie Killer got captured by a noble, and Megumin, who was attracted by its unique appearance, visited it in its cage every day and formed a bond with it, eventually helping it escape.
Rookie Killers aren’t capable of speech, but they are smarter than Aqua, so it must have hid itself in the depths of the forest in order to live a peaceful life.
Now then, allow me to put up some advertisements.
The title of the Konosuba Movie has been decided as “Crimson Legend”.
As the name suggests, this movie is about the activities of a certain tribe with the word “Crimson” in their name.
Additionally, the Konosuba TRPG will be releasing on March the 20th.
Included is a small play session involving several well known authors, so if that perks your interest, please do pick it up.
Movie, concert, and now a TRPG. Konosuba is really starting to be a truly multimedia franchise.
The crossover work “Isekai Quartet” that involves “Overlord”, “Youjo Senki”, “Re:Zero” and “Konosuba” has already started production, so please look forward to it!
Additionally, one of my other works, “Kemonomich”, has been confirmed for an anime.
Yes!
I’ve mentioned it before, but it’s a story about a Masked Wrestler who is summoned to another world.
It would make me really happy if unfamiliar readers would to give it a look.
— How do I say this, there have been so many developments lately that it feels like even I as the author am having trouble keeping track of it all, but I would be really grateful if everyone would continue following Kazuma and co’s journey.
Though I don’t know if the day would come when they will go on a proper adventure like what Megumin wants…
Now then, allow me to give my thanks to the people who worked hard to make this volume ship out successfully.
First off, there’s the illustrator, Mishima Kurone-sensei. Thank you for the wonderful illustrations you provided for this volume.
Then, there’s the producer in charge, I-san, the designers, the editors, the salespeople, and all the other people whose efforts made it possible for this book to land in your hands, I’ve caused a lot of problems for you all for this time too, but allow me to thank you for your efforts and as a way of apology.
And lastly, to all my readers who picked up this book, by deepest thanks!
Akatsuki Natsume
Right, and that does it for Continued Explosions 2. Sorry for the extreme delay, the original book came out at a really bad time for me and I had to scramble to get everything done, which is why there’s a four month delay and a lot of what Natsume promoted in the afterword is now out of date.
Still, it did bring my schedule in line with the new announcement, so I guess there’s a silver lining in that.
Speaking of which, If you haven’t heard yet, the release date of Volume 16 and Dust 5 has been confirmed to be the 1st of August, as mentioned in this post. Tentatively, I’ll be able to start putting out chapters around September, so there shouldn’t be as much of a wait this time.
As usual, I’ll be putting up the short stories over the coming weeks. Additionally, I’ll be filling the weeks between the release of Volume 16 and when I get it TLed to a satisfactory degree with the rest of the BD short stories, so look forward to that.
Now, then, till we meet again.
