Afterword 

Hello there, I’m Kenya Atsui.

I like characters who fight using their fists. That’s why I chose this pen name. (‘Ken’ uses the character for fist.) I also like swords and stuff, so I had my main character use both in this novel.

I got a lot of help from various people while working on this piece. First, I’d like to thank my editor, who kept whispering “Make a spin-off with Redge...” to me. I’m very sorry for all the trouble I caused you.

Next, Saori Toyota, who drew all of the beautiful illustrations. “Towa’s boobs! Yukihime’s embarrassed face! Kokuya looks so cool! Redge is way too handsome!” ...are some of the things I shouted when I saw them.

I’d also like to thank the proofreading and design companies, my friends T and M, who always gave me great advice, and Y, P, S, H, and C, who always hung out with me.

Lastly, I’d like to thank all of my readers. I really have a lot of people to thank...

I look forward to meeting you all again someday – hopefully in volume two.
