Afterword

Thank you for reading volume three of Chivalry of a Failed Knight. I’m the author, Riku Misora.

This volume marks the climax of the Selection Battle Arc. Even I, the author, tore through this book from the excitement. Did you enjoy it? I’m currently patting myself on the back for writing something exciting enough that I could shamelessly call it a true climax, so I can only hope that you, my readers, will also find this volume to be exciting.

Excuse me for changing the subject, but with volume two, the Chivalry of a Failed Knight series has reached a total of one hundred thousand sales. I have to offer my gratitude to all of my readers for making it possible. Honestly, thank you so much for reading and supporting me! Thanks to you all, I’ve finally completed the Selection Battle Arc and begun the next step, the Nationals Arc. Of course, this is entirely thanks to your support.

In the fourth volume, many people—from the famed greats to the evil shadows lurking behind them—will all move on the summit of the Seven Stars simultaneously. I’ll be working hard to bring you even stronger foes and even more heated battles, so I hope for your continued support!

Now, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped me make this book.

Won, thank you as always for your wonderful illustrations. Even with a tight schedule, you fulfilled all of my requests. I am eternally grateful to you. All the skin in this volume’s illustrations had my mouth watering, and it’s my exclusive right as the writer to declare that as my number-one most appreciated thing (haha)! I’m always looking forward to your next ones.

To my lead editor, Mr. Ohara, and to everyone in the editorial staff who worked to make this happen, I thank you deeply.

Finally, I must once again thank everyone who read this book. Let’s meet again in volume four!
