New page

==Afterword==


Oh my, being busy as I am already, this time round, I actually have fourteen pages for my afterword, now, what should I do about it ~.

Speaking of that, an ancient person once said,

"Hey, number off!"

1!

2!

3!

4!

I've heard of people using such an incredible way of using up pages, but I won't be able to do such a terrible thing to you (even though I did).

Erm, anyway, this afterword will be a little long. Please give me your support, everyone.


But well, anyway, I shall say 'Hi' like always, and, early as it is, "Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi 3" is out.

Well, since the start of the story, we have been having bi-monthly releases at one go, and as quickly as it seems, with this, we've come to an end for the bi-monthly releases for now.

Regarding the development about the story, it's faster and better to read it yourself, so I won't touch on it (no, isn't it better to touch on it? If I touch on it, I can use up the pages faster, which means it will be better to touch on it, but, whatever I say will end up becoming a spoiler, so I won't touch on it).

So, with this and that, and nothing else to write about, I shall end the afterword.

For the next ten pages, it will be filled with a bunch of advertisements.

So well, goodbye ~.

Editor-in-charge: "Heyy."

"Yes, what's wrong, pretty girl editor-in-charge K-san."

"There's no way we can fill the next pages with advertisements right?"

"Really?"

"Really ~. Everyone is looking forward to your afterword."

"Really?"


"Of course."

"But, the truth is, there is actually a good idea behind me putting in ads here."

"Huh? Good idea?"

"Yeah."

"What's that?"

"Well, isn't it that the ad pages are usually used for advertising the works of the other authors of Fujimi right?"

"That's right."

"But this time round, let's do something different!"

"Yeah?"

"By the way, those who have read this Itsuten 3 should already know this, but this time, I kind of added the well-received and loved Cola to the story right?"

"You did."

"So why not you go to the Japanese Coca Cola corporation and ask them whether they would like to have their product advertised!"


"Uwaahh, isn't this turning into something rotten?"

"On top of that, by the way, I just discovered that Fanta is also a brand under the Coca Cola company!"

"No wait, why are you writing a rotten story in your afterword!"

"This is for the sake of buzzing through the pages!"

"No, I mean, yeah but."

"If you have some other way to fill up the pages, please, I'm at all ears!"

"Uhmm."

"See! See! Anyway, let's go to Coca Cola tomorrow, shall we? I'm ok with just one year's supply."

"What you're after is Cola!"

"Eh? What would you like then? Don't tell me it's, it's money? What a rotten fella!"

"As I was saying, what're you talking about, jeez ~"

So, with this conversation with my editor-in-charge, I'm done with four pages!

Another ten to go!

There are still enough pages left for me to die a total of seven times, you know!


Ermm, so, what should I do now? Is it time to talk about my recent situation?

If I write about my recent situation, it's like it's coming to an end and bidding you guys goodbye, but, erm, well, since there's nothing else to write, I'll go with that.

Eh ~.

I'm so busy with my manuscripts!

Crap, this won't do.

This won't convey to you how busy I really am. So, dear editor-in-charge, I shall try increasing the font size by three times.

Here I go, ok?

Alright, ready, get set ~.

<p style="font-size:300%">I'm so busy with my manuscripts!</p>

That's it!


That's it!

Somehow, it felt like an alarm going off. With that, that's all to my recent situation, so here ends the afterword.

And so, let's move on to the ads.

Editor-in-charge: Hey!

"Hi, rotten pretty girl K-san."

"Who are you calling rotten?"

"It's a mermaid setting right? Or raw food?"

"Jeez, what's this person rambling about?"

"But, this time round, it just comes out of me every now and then."

"Aren't you the one summoning it?"

"I did not."

"This doesn't end the afterword at all! And besides, it's shorter than usual!"

"But ~, this is the afterword of the 5th installation of the consecutive releases right? There's one more next month right? I've already nothing else to write ~."

"Even so, do your best! No matter how unfavorable the circumstances are, don't give up and continue running forward! Isn't that what makes you Kagami Takaya! Please remember that!"


"Hey, which [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_(magazine_line) Jump] setting is that?"

"No idea though."

"Don't mess around with meeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

"Heh ☆"

As I write up to here, it's just nice at the halfway point.

But, an overly long afterword may be tough to read. This is what I think. So, I shall seriously end it.

For only those who are interested, just follow on ok --- since the afterword is going to shift, but before that, let me make a few announcements.

Announcement 1.

In the same month as the release of this volume, the first volume of the comic version of another one of my series "Densetu Yuusha no Densetsu" is also being released.

I wrote this lengthy series Denyuuden with a lot of effort, for those who have yet to read it yet, perhaps you might want to take a dive into this lengthy series via the comics?


And also, Denyuuden's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonkoma 4-Koma] comic "Nantonaku Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu (The Legend of the Legendary Heroes Somehow)" are selling popularly. It's scheduled for an immediate reprint --- thank you!!

Announcement 2.

Next month, "Ochita Kuroi Yuusha no Densetsu (The Legend of the Fallen Dark Hero) 4" will be launched! As to what kind of content it will have, at the point of writing this afterword, I have yet to start on it, so I don't know! (Eeeeeehhhhhhhh, most of the editorial department exclaimed in surprise!)

Er, erm, I'll do my best. Thank you for your support.

But, this "Ochiten 4" should conclude Kagami Takaya's 6-consecutive month release.

Awesome. I did well! That's what In order to write this in my next month's afterword, I'll do my best.

Announcement 3.

The Dragon Magazine that will be selling at the same time as this book will contain the third short story of "Itsuten".

Thanks to everyone, from the results of the survey, we've received good feedback on the new series which has only just started. "Itsuten" is doing good!

Thank you everyone! I thank you all for filling up the survey again.


Anouncement 4.

Based on the schedule rushed out by my editor-in-charge, "Itsuten 4" will probably also be released sometime this year.

Well, it's either in June or July though, I think it's more or less decided to be around that time, I guess? I feel like saying I'm a little unsettled, so.

Please do support me, thanks!

Announcement 5.

No, this is the end.

All in all, thank you all. Thanks for reading. I'm really happy.

And well, I'll still continue to work hard, so please continue to support me!

Well well, see you.

==Afterword 2 - A survival race only for those who really want to read it==

Ready?

You really want to go all the way to the fourteenth page?

I see. While I don't know how many people have survived up till now, I shall take count of how many people are really interested in what comes after here.

Right, number off!

1!

2!

3!

4!

Something shitty like this is going to continue, is that ok? Is that ok?

If you want to withdraw, now's the time, you know?

"............"


Alright, let's go!

Ok, let's talk about my recent situation again.

And it's about yesterday and today of my life, that's real recent huh.

Erm, yesterday, when I woke up, I yelled.

"I don't want to write my manuscript ~!"

But, even while I yelled, I sat down in front of my desk; how admirable of me. And I gradually wrote the manuscript. I worked hard in writing it. By the way, the manuscript I was working on was for the short story in the Dragon Magazine. Even though it's supposed to be a short story, I've already used up sixty pages. Even though I was only told to have fifty pages, at the sixtieth page, I still couldn't find any part to drop. What should I do? What should I do?

As I said that, night fell and I was done.

A total of seventy six pages of manuscript.

Impossible. It was clearly an unforgivable number of pages. And I called my editor-in-charge. By the way, it was a non-working day and my editor-in-charge was taking a break and had went to the movies, but I ignored that and called her anyway, while weeping. ''My manuscript has an incredible number of pages, what should I do?''

"EEeehhhh ~, how many pages?"

"Fifty."


"Eh? That won't be a problem right?"

"Fifty plus twenty-six."

"You should have said that earlierrrr! So, what now? Are there places that you can cut?"

"None!"

"What are you so proud of! Ugh, ah, jeez, tomorrow, I shall go prostrate myself in front of the chief. Since the next manuscript deadline will be pretty tight as well."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously. But please don't let it happen again!"

"I, I got it. Sorry."

After making trouble for everyone, I sent in my manuscript, and slept like a log for the day.

The next day, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galley_proof galley] was delivered. It was the galley of "Itsuten 3". As I was checking the galley, my editor-in-charge called in the afternoon.

"Kagami-san, I have good news!"

"Eh? What is it?"

"The pages were accepted miraculously! For the short story this time, we can do without any cutting!"

"Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"


By the way, previously, I've also have had manuscripts exceeding the limit, but during those times, due to lack of space, I was told to rewrite it, and because of those experiences, I couldn't help but shake in fear.

Ah, thank heavens. I can no longer raise my head in front of the editor-in-chief of Doramaga<ref>'''Doramaga:''' Short for Dragon Magazine.<br/><br/></ref>.

And then,

"What's remaining is the sub-title. And please hurry up with the galley. You have fourteen pages for the afterword. Please check the character introduction article. And please note the deadline for Ochiten's manuscript. And please rest so that you don't collapse ☆"

I bet my editor-in-charge was talking to me as if I was with her in the [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Hyperbolic_Time_Chamber Hyperbolic Time Chamber].

But, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegeta Ve●ta] will come to Earth soon, and I don't really have much time to train. In order not to let Earth be destroyed I shall do my best-ola ☆, and so, I finished the galley, then I went to the convenience store and send it, following that, without abating a single breath, I finished thinking about the sub-title for the short story and send it via mail, checked through the character introduction article and replied, and now working on the afterword.

And finally, the afterword is coming to an end.

Yay! And tomorrow I shall start Ochiten's manuscript!

Wait, how the hell can I rest!


Well, even though I said that, I do take proper rest so please don't worry.

Since high school, I've formed a band with other authors, and we would practice like crazy at the guitar classroom, then fight zombie games with them, so I'll be fine. Probably!

That's how I spent the days.

So, after writing all that, I've cleared most of the fourteen-page space!

Those of you who have read till here, thank you.

Now now, it's really time to part.

For those who also read Denyuuden, I'll see you next month!

For those who only read Itsuten, also go read Denyuuden! (LOL)

Oh well, till around June or July.

Oh yeah, since there's a "Itsuten" short story in May's Doramaga, the next time will be then right.

Well well, see you ~
