Chronicle Legion:Volume 3 Afterword
Afterword[edit]
Hello again, everyone.
The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms set on a fictional 20th-century stage plus armies of giants" has reached its third volume.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to my readers' loving support as well as all the help from everyone involved in the publishing process. Many accidents came up this time and I'm sorry for the trouble caused to everyone.
Also due to chance circumstances, I was also looked after by friends at Shizuoka News.
Thank you for telling me so many things about Shizuoka, they were very informative. The black hanpen fish cake with Worcestershire sauce was truly eye opening. What a new discovery.
In this 3rd volume, a new character from Chinese history has debuted at last.
This man has appeared briefly in world history or Chinese textbooks. The legendary first half of his life happened just as I described in the novel. He sometimes makes appearances in Beijing opera or Chinese historical dramas. It was said that his personality was very modest and reserved.
Since there are too many characters in this story who love to show up, it feels quite refreshing to write a character of the opposite type (wry smile).
Also, due to book length, I haven't included a glossary this time as I've done in previous volumes. Notes on the "Battle of Crécy" and "let's have a beer first" are on DX Bunko's official site while "the relationship between heavy infantry and oblique order" had to be omitted due to length. If there's space in Volume 4, I'll add them to the collection.
By the way, I mentioned something in Volume 2's afterword.
Namely, the provision of fanservice from the male characters, but unfortunately, I failed to deliver on my promise in time for Volume 3. Fortunately, this gave rise to a natural development so perhaps it might be actualized in Volume 4. What I want to write about is not just two men but it'd be a nice idea to bring together all major male characters (such as the balding guy, the blond middle-aged guy with too much fat, or the low-key cool handsome guy) for an open-air bath party. Recently, this is what's been troubling me.
Anyway, a hot spring episode is planned for Volume 4.
Now considering the passage of time, I guess it's almost time for the beauty contest event, right?
...Oh dear, why does it feel like I'm writing "an ordinary school romantic comedy"?
As for specifics, what kinds of scenes will I include? What illustrations will be drawn for the male character fanservice? Please do check it out in Volume 4, dear readers.
