Afterword

Long time no see, this is Milli-gram.

Thank you so much for buying I’ll Never Set Foot in That House Again! volume 3! The entire novel was new text this time, and isn’t up on “Shosetsuka ni Naro.” I did my best to raise the sugar content, so I hope you enjoyed it.

This is only because we’ve come so far that I can say it, but when I first began writing this story, the plot was the complete opposite of what it is now. The heroine, loved by her family, had to go to the Royal Research Institute after her Skill was discovered. Busy every day, her catchphrase was, “I want to go home as soon as possible.” I bet you can’t even imagine the current Chelsea saying anything like that...

One day, as I wrote, a revelation from the gods(?) came to me, telling me to flip the plot. Normally, I’d just ignore it, saying, “I’ll write what I want to write!” For some reason though, I went along with it, and before I realized, the current I’ll Never Set Foot in That House Again! was born. You never know what the future brings. It made me think that sometimes going with the flow around you is good too.

Okay, let’s get to the thanks!

First off, thank you to the illustrator, Yuki Kana-sensei, who drew our gorgeous cover art. (All of Chelsea’s expressions in the illustrations were different this time, so I’d been looking forward to them from the rough sketch phase!) My editor, Y-san, who I caused a lot of deadline-related problems for; the salespeople, proofreaders, designers, and everyone at the print shop; my friends, R-san and M-san; my mom; and everyone in a certain game. (Especially the people who gave me food ideas! I’d never thought of crab cream croquettes or crab gratin before, so you were a big help.) And everyone who told me they were reading.

Thank you all so much!

There were also bits where I got too sick to write this time. Thank you to everyone who gave me advice and came to help. Everyone, make sure to pay careful attention to your health.

I hope good things happen to all of those who did anything involved in this book!
