AFTERWORD

Good to meet you, those of you who decided on a whim to buy all six volumes at once.

And hello again to those of you who have been buying each volume as it comes out.

I’m Kazuma Kamachi.

So, this is volume six. The main character, heroines, enemies, the ending, and the backstage are depicted in a strangely different way from the series thus far. As for how exactly the ball is changing up on you, well, you’ll just have to read the book.

The occult keyword this time around is golem.

A lot of people will think of a golem like a slime, in that they’re relatively popular in video games, and thus aren’t used as a final boss—but apparently actual (well, not actual, but you know what I mean) golems were really pretty fantastic. Especially the part about all of it being magic based on the mystique of God’s creation of man, and how followers of Kabbalah were the only ones able to use it and master it.

It’s kind of like alchemy’s philosopher’s stone, in that having it proves that you’re number one. I mean, they even had safety mechanisms, so if you ever wanted to destroy it, you could easily reduce it back to dirt. It feels like the basis for giant robots frequently having a self-destruct button.

I’d like to give great thanks to my illustrator, Mr. Haimura, and the editor, Mr. Miki. Thank you both for not discarding my works despite being so extremely busy.

And a big thank-you to all of my readers who took the time out to pick up my books. It is, without a doubt, because of all of you that I am able to eat white rice.

In the end, the so-called killer of illusions actually protected hers, didn’t he?
