AfterwordThank you for purchasing Volume 6 of Secrets of the Silent Witch.This book features all seven Sages, a idea that has been in the workssince Volume 1.Despite writing in the afterword of Volume 5 that I wanted to show youthe students having a good time in Volume 6, they wound up in troubleinstead. I’m beginning to worry that I’m a little heartless… Please accept myapologies.That said, I hope you’re looking forward to what these poor kids will getup to in the next volume. Monica will do her best as well.Regarding future printing plans, Volume 7 of the main story is scheduledfor next winter.…However, before that, there is something else in the works: the first in atwo-book series featuring the Barrier Mage Louis Miller as the protagonist.This side story will place Louis in the spotlight, and the first book will beabout his time as a student at Minerva’s Mage Training Institution.It’ll be a fresh new look at Louis when he was still a boy. And by fresh, Imean as fresh as a raging shark, snapping, landing on the shore andchomping, jumping, biting the nets restraining him, and batting harpoonsaway with his tail. In other words, very energetic.Others from the main story will make cameo appearances as well.This Louis side story serves as a prequel to Secrets of the Silent Witch,and I hope you’ll check it out.To Nanna Fujimi, as always, thank you for your gorgeous illustrations.This volume featured many new characters, so I’m sure designing themwas a lot of work. But I’m always moved by your wonderful designs. Each
of them expands the world of the story even further.When I explain character designs, I submit little drawings that look likedumplings to help, but of all the ones I’ve made, the Gem Mage was, if I maybe so bold, a critical hit—a dumpling truly emanating the aura of a pettyvillain.But my dumplings simply can’t express his servility or fussiness.Depicting traits like that in a picture is incredibly difficult—and yet youmanaged it perfectly.And so I must truly thank you for making every character so charming.To Tobi Tana, thank you for your excellent work on the manga adaptation.The story is rather extreme, split between scenes with a lot of action andscenes with no action at all, but you’ve depicted them all with such charmand life regardless. It makes me very happy.The newest book of the manga adaptation is Volume 3. Monica and theprince share the cover.In the manga adaptation, you can also see people who haven’t shown upin the insert illustrations in the books yet.Mr. Boyd, the chess teacher, was especially wonderful with hiscombination of sternness, nobility, and class.Please give the third volume of the manga a read so you can see him. Hismuscles really bulge.Last, but not least, I’d like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyonewho purchased this book. The fan letters make me very happy as well.Hearing you talk about your favorite scenes and characters with suchpassion, along with the special letter paper, the sealing wax, the wonderfulstickers, stamps, cards, and illustrations you include—it’s like you packagedall your love right in the envelope. It fills me with joy.That serves as great encouragement to keep going. Thank you. Thank youso much.I will do my best to continue writing, to answer your words of support inkind, so I hope we can meet again in the next volume.Matsuri Isora
