Afterword

 

THANK YOU for purchasing the fifth volume of this series! I am the author, Yomu Mishima.

This was basically like a continuation of the Alzer Republic Arc, I guess you could say. It’s pretty obvious that Noelle is our main heroine in this volume, but I’m curious what you readers think of the idiot brigade this time around. Even Marie and Leon were disgusted when they came back even quirkier than they had left.

I kept Chris’s depiction the same in the light novel as the web novel, but I decided to crank up the wackiness even more with Greg. I hope you enjoyed the change. Although, what I really want you all to enjoy is Noelle. In the previous volume, while she did appear, she was overshadowed by Marie.

Marie really is—how to put this… Why is she so popular? I understand I added elements to her character that could appeal to people, but in Volume 4, she beat Leon for first place in popularity. He won overall popularity, but Marie overtook him for that one volume. She sure is impressive—outpacing the hero and the heroine in a single book.

The extra web story included with the Japanese volumes that depict Marie’s route also appear to be popular too, which had me gasping in surprise. I’m happy, of course, but…seriously? Well, I guess if everyone enjoys them, that’s all the more reason for me to keep writing them. They’re easy to churn out too. As usual, I have outdone myself with the length and far exceeded what you’d expect of an extra. Even I am impressed with how much I wrote. This volume also includes another continuation of that side story, so I hope you will all enjoy it.*

Which reminds me, I haven’t written anything for Noelle. I guess I should remedy that. She is super cute! I love her side ponytail!

Anyway, that’s all from me. I will work hard to write the next volume as well, so I hope you will all continue to support me!
