New page

==Afterword==

I offer my heartfelt apologies to all the readers and staff for whom I have caused trouble and anxiety this time around.

Hello, this is Konno.

I'm sure there's a lot of you who'll know what I mean by that first sentence.

Of course, I think there will be plenty who read that and go, "What's she talking about?" too.

And it will probably be completely incomprehensible to those who've picked up the book long after its release.

So I'll just include all these together and say, I'm sorry everyone!

The release of this book was delayed a month. And while I'm confessing, a magazine article was dropped too. Actually, my health deteriorated at the beginning of the year, to the point where I was hospitalized in the middle of January.

At first it was a common cold. It started with a sore throat, then a fever, then, before I knew it, my face was all swollen and it turned into something frightful.

My attending doctor's diagnosis was 'mumps.' The slang phrase for an epidemic of mumps is 'old woman's cold,' but I already caught it back when I was in kindergarten. Apparently there's a small number of people who can get it twice, so despite having the antibodies they just don't have enough of them, although it shouldn't be possible for it to become an acute illness. At any rate, the further away you are from school age, the worse the illness tends to be.

My face swelled up like a boxer that's taken hits to the face for a full 9 rounds, and that's not a metaphor. My cheeks looked like they were stuffed completely full of cotton and my eyes looked exactly like a clay figurine's (they were so swollen I couldn't open them properly). My face was so bad that when a doctor acquaintance of mine was lost for words when they saw it. I had a fever too. Ah, the memories of calling the editorial department after I'd taken fever medicine to keep my temperature down …

Well, rest assured that I'm completely recovered now. This book has been released, albeit delayed a month, and I'm back working as per usual. I have a real appreciation for the saying, "Your health's the most important thing."

Oops. The afterword's two pages this time. I've filled all the space just writing about my illness. I'm sorry for not touching on the contents of the novel in this afterword.

– Ahh, from beginning to end it's all apologies.
