Afterword

To all who have first come to know me through Chivalry of a Failed Knight, I’m glad to meet you. To those who read Danzai no Exceed or Kanojo no Koi ga Hanashitekurenai!, it’s good to see you again!

I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading Chivalry of a Failed Knight. The idea behind this work was a sort of superhuman sports kind of thing. Actually, ever since Danzai no Exceed won its award, I’ve been hoping to try my hand at one of these “rising up in the world of sports” type stories. Kind of like GA’s Akamitsu Awamura and his Mugen no Linkage!

I’m happy as a clam to have finally done it, and I hope you all are happy as clams too! If you are, I hope you’ll join the Failed Knight on his quest down the path of chivalry.

In writing this novel, I’ve had the chance to work with so many different people. Let me take this opportunity to make some acknowledgments.

First, my wonderful illustrator, Won, who put up with all of my selfish requests. “Tear her tights here!”, “Give her a garter belt!”, “We don’t just want the bra; we want her panties, too! Draw the panties!” (during the scene where Stella strips). Thank you so much, Won!

And of course, a big thanks to Mr. Ohara for all he’s done for me, especially with his touch-ups on the book in general. Without him, I wouldn’t have been able to make the plot outline the best it could possibly be.

All of the specific guidance from the people in the sales department was a big help, too. Thank you all!

Finally, I have to express my gratitude to everyone who read Chivalry of a Failed Knight. It’s all thanks to everyone’s help that I could release this novel. Thank you so much! I’ll see you all again in volume two!
