Postscript

Thank you for reading Volume 6. Kurone Kanzaki, the author, here.

I’m writing this in early August, but boy, is it hot. First it was all the rain, then the record heat, and of course COVID going on all year... I’m sure many of you feel particularly exhausted this year, mentally and physically. I hope this book has blown away even a little bit of any gloominess in your life.

I can’t help but wish that Doctor Yu was real, especially in times like this... But on the other hand, while she may be able to create a vaccine, I think a million people a year would die of suspicious circumstances.

I’ve noticed that my volumes are often published in summer. I’ve heard that most series drop in sales after the anime concludes, but thanks to readers like you, both the novel and the manga have been going strong. Thank you again to everyone who’ve enjoyed DLR.

Now in Volume 6, the Demon Lord returns to the village of Rabbi. I wanted to explore reunions in this volume above all else. No matter how the story progresses, checking back in on old characters will always be a part of the Demon Lord’s job description. Reunions can be cheery, romantic, wholesome... I plan to take my time writing how all of these characters become one big family.

Of course, they’re just a gang of troublemakers to those who’re living on their continent. With the addition of Kondo, I expect the Demon Lord’s party to grow more fun and exciting.

I hope you’ll continue to tag along for the Demon Lord’s wacky adventures.

See you in Volume 7!
