==Author's Note==

<br/>

How are you?  This is Takabayashi.  Ah, I completely understand this is no longer the time to be asking how you are.  Just what month is this, or rather, what year!? ... Yes, I'm talking in yearly terms.  I've made you wait in terms of years.  I'm sorry.  This was a short story that I called Gurrier's Past Story and Little Josa Little Con Story (that sounds like you don't have enough concrete), but I've finally finished it somehow.  Although now that I've finished, the three books have quite the amount of pages so it became something that I can't casually refer to as a short story.  Not only that, but Shibuya, who is more or less the main character of the series, only appears a little bit — unsatisfactory!  B-but I couldn't help it.  It's a story about the past.  In exchange, <i>he</i> appears a lot.  The man whose name was the only thing that appeared in the main story, the Second Son's father, aka, Dunheely Weller.  To be honest, I hadn't decided what kind of personality he would have or how he would speak until I started writing.  But you know, he was a man who was loved by that Lady Cherie so he seems like he would be a chivalrous dandy unparalleled amongst the three kingdoms, huh~  As I worried along those lines, he ended up being a character like that, but what do you think?  It would be nice if I haven't shattered the image of Dunheely that you've all had in your minds.  Actually, it's likely that no one had an image of him in their head — of Dunheely.  No before that, what are the three kingdoms in 'unparalleled amongst the three kingdoms'? (China, India, Shin Makoku?<ref>The three kingdoms this phrase are supposed to reference are China, India and Japan.</ref>) And chivalrous dandy?  Was Date Masamune in Shin Makoku!? <ref>The kanji used to write chivalrous dandy are the same used to write Date in Date Masamune.  He was a super famous warrior and tactician and was nicknamed the One-eyed Dragon.</ref>  That's the bigger issue.  Also, didn't I say that the one who was known for having a nice face wasn't Dunheely but his father!?  There was also a huge turmoil within myself over that.  Well in the end, I calmed down by telling myself 'It's probably okay if you just make him a good Papa'...  How was he?  Was there any place where he matched the image of Dunheely you've all had in your heads(I'm still saying it)?  Actually, the mental picture from the anime is strong, huh, Father of the Second Son?  Because I was writing so slowly they have clearly passed me by, GOD DAMN.  Shit, now that things have turned out this way, I'm going to break you even more and turn you into an even stranger character!  And so, an improper rebellious attitude was born...  However, now that I'm done writing, I've come to think that the Father of the Second Son strangely does not resemble the Second Son.  How should I say it?  He doesn't have the darkness or the lameness.  In other words, he's a better person than the Second Son.  Well, this is from the point of view of Little Gurrier-chan so he might be being a little glorified.  Also, I feel like the Second Son himself is doing better in the present than when he was a child...  This was a story of the past that seems like it has problems in many ways, but... I-I've already finished writing it so it is what it is!  Yeah, please treat this nicely as it is.  It more or less has a happy ending after all.  Furthermore, this came out with good timing so I wrote with the intent that if you read this 'Have Trip(Eh, that's how you're abbreviating it!?)' after the new novel from the main story that just came out, 'From Shin Makoku with Love,' you might enjoy it approximately 0.5% more.  0.5% is pretty low... Of course even if you don't read this 'Nice Trip' (If it's abbreviated that way, I end up wanting to tack on 'dreamy mood' on the end<ref>'Nice Trip, Dreamy Mood' was the name of a celebrity travel show.</ref>), it won't have any effect on the main story so please be at ease.  I'm happy if you enjoyed 'HaNi Trip' (Whaaa....) which had the meeting between Gurrier-chan and the Second Son and also the heart-pounding, exciting first time in women's clothes.  Now then, now then, while I've been dragging my feet, the MAnime has an OVA out and the third season is starting be be broadcast!  T-to think it would go that far!  It looks like the DVDs for the third season are about to go on sale as well.  Now that I mention it, I wrote about a lot of things in those DVD exclusive booklets too, didn't I?  We've north gate pretty far, now that I think about it (Is there a south gate as well!?)<ref>Play on the name of a drama 'We've come pretty far, now that I think about it.'  She just changed the 'came' to 'north gate' and it sounds exactly the same but ceases to make sense(in Japanese as well).</ref>  I don't know what the 3rd season will turn into, but I think it would have been nice to have been able to be involved.  And so, everyone, thank you very much for staying with me through this 'Trip' throughout the ages.  If we have the chance, let's meet again in this exclusive booklet.
