Afterword

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

I’m writing this afterword in July. As ever, Japanese summers are just so hot and humid. It feels like they never end! My room doesn’t have any air conditioning or fans, so it’s a terrible environment to work in during the middle of summer.

But there’s only one month left! In one month, I’ll be moving out of the home I’ve lived in since elementary school, securing my very own air conditioning and television! Woohoo!

Even better, I’ll be able to have a pet at my new home. I’m very excited for that. I want a kitty-cat so badly. I’ll probably make the next afterword all about my new cat. It’s my afterword, after all.

So! In this volume, the Seven Stars Battle Festival has finally begun. Just as Ikki overcomes his first major hurdle, Stella causes an unexpected twist. Will the two of them be able to make it through this Festival, full of powerful fighters, and meet in the finals? In hopes that you’ll continue to watch over them and their struggles, I’ll do my very best to keep on writing.

Now then, to the editor who helped me polish up this book, and to Won, who always makes the most wonderful illustrations, and even to you, the readers who continue to support Chivalry of a Failed Knight, thank you so much as always. I hope you continue to enjoy my works.
