<h4>Volume 8, Afterword</h4>
Hello, I’m the innocent light novel author that still thinks dentists are scary after he grew up, Sekina Aoi. …You can’t just say I’m a coward.
Well, I didn’t just make zero progress in my childhood. I even started to devolve right now. However, there’s one thing that I can guarantee that I made progress in whenpared to the entire human race.
Yes, that is the rtionship with afterwords.
There are 3 pages for this afterword. However, the first sentence of the editor responsible for the pages is actually-
“You want a couple more pages?”
It’s this. Will someone really suggest something like this to me? The worst problem is that my brain shed something for a moment. “3 pages, …I think I’ve been disappointing the readers recently.”
That’s enough. What is actually an afterword? Currently, which world is the reader and I’m in for us to talk like this? This ce is much weirder than the main story, right.
So, even though I hesitated for a bit, I still followed the “it’ll be over if I cut the main story short or the novel got more expensive” mentality. I wrote a 3-page afterword. Sorry.
Well, let’s talk about the plot. This time, it’s because thest volume is way too upset. Personally, I nned to make this volume into a “happy” episode. In reality, I’m not sure if this is happy or not. The editor said this to me. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen theedy in the early stage of the series.” However, …honestly, I didn’t realize this at all. So-
“Ah, y-yeah, you’re right. I did it on purpose. Y-You actually noticed it.”
I answered stiffly. …Indeed, perhaps it’s just like the early stage of the series. …I didn’t realize it. …Ahem.
The next volume is actually the <Gamers!> Short Story collection. We n to release it in autumn. The content is mainly bundling the magazine stories together, but the magazine is about another plot line of <Gamers!>. Therefore, if readers are interested, pleasee and buy one. The book will contain the days Amano spent with his close gaming friends- …No, the days Amano spent with the “bombs” that weren’t in the main story.
Also, during the release of this volume, the anime version of <Gamers!> Is already up. This is made by the fantastic staff and VAs when the original author is trembling over his fear of dentists. Please watch it if you’re interested. Aside from that, the first two volumes of <Gamers!> manga adaptation are also being released on Monthly Shonen Ace too! (Advertisement)
Well, here’s the appreciation speech.
First of all, thank you, Cactus-sensei. I appreciate you for providing the incredible illustrations for this volume even when you’re busy due to the release of the anime.
Then, props to the editor. Thank you for dealing with all kinds of chores and small details when the author is solely responsible for the writing. I’ll be counting on you.
Finally, it’s reader-sama. Recently, Amano-kun has be a lot “normier.” However, if he’s really a guy that can sincerely enjoy happiness like this, he wouldn’t suffer from the beginning. The same can be said for other members.
So, if you’re willing to look forward to all characters being pranked between their “situations” and “thoughts,” I would love to hear that. …Uh, even though I’m putting it in a cool way, it’s merely a dumb story.
Well, I’ll see you in Volume 9, or the short story collection!
