Volume 1
Afterword
Hello, my name is ｃａｄｅｔ, the original author.
First of all, thank
you very much for picking up and reading this novel.
This novel was
originally published as a serial on the 「小説家になろう」/ [Shōsetsuka ni Narō] / [Let's Become a Novelist] website in 2011.
What was the reason I
started writing this? I don't really remember. But I do remember the feeling
that as I became mentally exhausted in my daily life, my heart became full and
something began to overflow.
As mentioned at the
beginning of this work, this first volume is about [awareness of one's
escapism].
Human beings,
consciously or not, have some form of escapism. It is not that this in itself
is bad, but that not being aware of it, or even if one is aware of it but
choosing not to look at it for a reason, maybe what is pulling one away from
happiness. That's what I imagined when I wrote the story.
It was my first time
writing a novel and there were a lot of difficult times, but everything turned
out to be so refreshing and it was a very fulfilling year.
The world of novel
writing is a tough one for some reason, but I hope I can send a message to
everyone again in the second volume. Therefore, I would like to write another
book for missionary purposes (oioi......).
Last but not least, I
would like to thank everyone at Ichijinsha for giving me the opportunity to
gain this valuable experience, and ｓｉｍｅ for the wonderful illustrations. I would also like to once again
express my gratitude to the readers who have supported me on the web and to
those who took a copy of this book for the first time.
