Afterword
Thank you so much for purchasing Black Summoner 5: The Demon Lord
Rises. This time, I don’t have that many pages to spare for the Afterword, so
I’ll be forgoing the self-introduction.
The three months since the previous volume passed in the blink of an
eye. Thanks to your support, this volume successfully made it to print. The
story goes up to the very end of Arc 5: Demon Lord from the web novel.
From this point on, the volumes are getting thicker than before. Since there
aren’t really any other good places to cut them off at, I had to ask my editor
to go out of his way to get the page count greenlit. Well, hey, that means
more for you to read, right?
In this volume, I seriously packed things as tightly as I could.
Afterwards, I went, “Arg, I really wanted to include this character’s Status
too!” and see-sawed back and forth many times. I only barely managed to
reduce it to the current number of pages after reviewing it many times.
Despite all my efforts, there still wasn’t enough space for a side story at the
end. I’m very sorry to those of you who were looking forward to it, but I’m
afraid there isn’t one this time. If I can convince you not to throw stones at
me, I’ll write twice as many next time... Or at least, I swear my desire to do
so is sincere!
And that’s why I’ll have to end the Afterword here. All because of how
limited the page count is. What? I didn’t arrange the page count just because I
thought writing the Afterword would be a pain! There’s no truth to that
claim. None whatsoever. Gosh, darn, it’s such a pity. There was so much
more that I wanted to write. Uh...how’s the space? It’s good? All ri—cough
cough. Let’s wrap this up!
With that, I hereby leave Black Summoner in everyone’s warm hands,
praying that we will meet again next volume.
