Volume 1, Afterword
Translator: yuNS
Nice to meet you all, this is Shimesaba.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis written work was a product of careful efforts piled together on the web, I had been quite fearful when writing this work.
Thinking back, when I first began writing this work on ‘Kakuyomu’, I remember looking at the site’s trends and thinking ‘well this isn’t going to get popular’ and laughing it off in a way. At the time, I had also been enjoying writing a trendy isekai fantasy story, but suddenly (if I remember correctly, it had been when I was sitting on the toilet bowl at home) the idea for the character ‘Sayu’ came into mind and after that I couldn’t stop myself running with it.
I believe myself to have been extremely lucky that a story that had begun with such a whimsical idea had grown to become what it was and be discovered by the managers.
I like to think that the character, the story, and how it turned out was all a product of coincidence, so I can’t help but feel blessed that there are now people out there who coincidentally came to like this work.
Now then, from here on I would say my thanks.
Firstly, to those who had discovered this work on the broad world of the internet, then decided to read it, I would like to thank you from the very depths of my heart for your support.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNext, to my manager W-san, who had discovered the possibilities of this work and pushed it all the way to publication, I would like to express my deepest gratitude. Though, perhaps I should be apologizing instead? I had cause them a lot of trouble throughout the process after all.
Finally, to the illustrator boota-san, who had given substance and breathed life to the characters, to the proofreaders, who had read the scrutinized the work more seriously than I the author did, as well as all those who were involved the process of it’s publishing, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you all.
Whilst wishing for another coincidental encounter between everyone and my story, I will end the afterword here.
Shimesaba.
