AFTERWORD

Hello, everyone. Thank you very much for reading Volume 4 of The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious. Yes, time flies, and we’re already at Volume 4. I never even imagined the series would make it this far when I first started writing. I know it’s clichéd to say this, but it truly is thanks to all of you. I’m sure there aren’t many people who bought only Volume 4, and that, instead, most people have been purchasing since Volume 1, and when I think about that, I just can’t help but feel grateful.

I put everything I had into writing Volume 4. To briefly—and I mean briefly—summarize what happened, a giant half-naked Rista made an appearance, and Rista was cursed by the enemy and almost died. She keeps getting the short end of the stick despite being a goddess. I really want her to come out on top and be happy for once (acting as if I have nothing to do with it).

As always, the beautiful illustrations were done by Saori Toyota and really bring out the characters’ charm. I really hope you enjoyed how they meshed with the text.

By the way, the Second Ixphoria Arc ends next volume. Will Seiya and Rista finally be able to save the world despite having lost once before?

I really hope to meet you all again next volume.

P.S. Check out the comics that are coming out when you get a chance!
