Afterword

Hello again, this is FUNA.

Thank you so much for reading volume 5 of I Shall Survive Using Potions! This time, Kaoru and friends are dragged into trouble and set out to strike back! They march into the capital and pick a fight with the aristocrats, Temple of the Goddess, and royal palace! The bonus story is all about Mariel! Has she fallen to the dark side?!

Kaoru: “Aristocrat girls are scary!”

And in volume 6 coming up, Kaoru faces danger and an unexpected sudden turn of events! Who could have seen it coming?! Thanks to all of your support, the next volume will be out...at least, it’s planned to...I think...

This month (October 2019), volume 5 of the Potions novel, and from another publisher, Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! volume 12, volume 4 of the Potions manga, and volume 1 of a spin-off manga are planned for release, for a total of four books! ...Sorry, this ended up being mostly an advertisement for another publisher.

And in October, the anime for Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! will be starting! I’m another step closer to fulfilling my ambitions...

The ongoing comic version is updated every first and third Monday on the webcomic magazine, “Suiyoubi no Sirius”! (http://seiga.nicovideo.jp/manga/official/w_sirius/)

To my editor, the illustrator Sukima, the binding designer, the proofreading supervisor, the publisher, distributor, bookstore workers, managers of the light novel publishing website, Shōsetsuka ni Narou, everyone who pointed out typos and gave advice and ideas in the comment section, and everyone who picked this book up, I am grateful from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you! I hope to see you again in the next volume...

FUNA
