Afterword

I want to take about a week off and go off on a vacation somewhere. I want to enjoy my time and be free from work and other people. Without a single worry in my mind, I’d devote all my time to sleeping and having fun. I want to become a free-spirited person like that. I really do!

Now, as for why such a thought popped up in my head... You see, a friend of mine has decided that they’ll be taking administrative leave from their job to spend a few years living overseas.

And thus, I am sooo jealous.

Of course, I know that there are many obstacles in the way of doing something like this, like your company trying to stop you. But still, how do I put this... My friend is heading towards a brilliant new future. They’re so excited about it, and they are clearly relishing taking their life into their own hands.

And, well, I am veeery envious indeed!

Their ability to take initiative was a real eye-opener for me, and thanks to them, my writing has been like a house on fire, with words gushing forth in spades. I also took up hookah as a new hobby, and with all of this inspiration, I somehow managed to finish volume five of Piggy Duke.

But of course, one thing fires my motivation up more than anything else: the manga edition of Piggy Duke! The web novel edition, which I haven’t updated in a while (life has been super busy...), has also been getting way more hits than normal, so I am in heaven.

I hope you continue to enjoy both editions of the Piggy Duke series, meaning this light novel format as well as the manga!
