Afterword

Thank you for reading Altina the Sword Princess IV!

This is the author, Yukiya Murasaki.

In the fourth volume, the mood and setting both change as the foreign student prince goes on a rampage across the sea. Here’s hoping you enjoyed it.

This time I think we’ve come full circle, and we’re finally starting to feel like a light novel. Our focus will return to Belgaria for the fifth volume.

Altina’s army faces the Grand Duchy of Varden unprepared. Will Regis manage to successfully drive off the enemy forces in a single night?

On the western front, Latrielle faces Oswald! And a particular girl finally makes an appearance—it’s Regis’s older sister!

I don’t know how many pages I’ll get, but... I hope you’ll stick around for the next volume.

My thanks—

To my illustrator, himesuz-sensei, thank you for all of the cool illustrations. To think Bastian was actually a hottie!

To Yamazaki-sama and Nishino-sama at Afterglow, thank you for yet another wonderful design.

To my editor, Wada-sama, it’s all thanks to you that the book could be published on time.

To everyone in the Famitsu Bunko editorial department, everyone involved, and to my family and friends who supported me.

And of course, my greatest thanks to you, dear reader, for reading this far! Thank you!
