“Okay, it’s time for 1-B’s Afterword.”

“The story ended in a real ‘now the story can begin’ kind of way, so what are we even supposed to talk about here?”

“To get a real 90s feel, it would be best if we argued with ourselves over what scenes were especially tough or questioned what the author was thinking about certain decisions.”

“Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, the cringe! You can’t be serious!”

<Yes, the 90s may have been the last time you could get away with that kind of thing.>

“It’s a real relic of the time before everyone was onliiiine all the time.”

“That was when everyone knew the clichés and new things were being developed, but the amount of information and rate of innovation wasn’t quite enough to replace the old things.”

“Well, you didn’t have internet BBSs back in 1990, so the letters section in magazines were still pretty popular and a lot of that stuff was passed down from upperclassman to underclassman in the school clubrooms.”

“When did the internet become so ubiquitous?”

[[Image:godless_balancer.png|50px]]

<It started in more localized areas as a grassroots things – or rather, as computer networks within corporations – but it had trouble spreading from there due to the price barrier.>

“I believe the question was when it became ubiquitous.”

[[Image:godless_balancer.png|50px]]

<Well, the social infrastructure changed a lot during the 90s, so that would make for a long story. And even then, it really came down to a competition over content. Much like a game console won’t sell without games no matter how powerful it is.>

“No, the spread of the internet was different from the console wars.”

[[Image:godless_shinobu.png|50px]]

“The console wars?”

[[Image:godless_kuwajiri.png|50px]]

“Each game console had its fans and they were always trying to prove theirs was superior.”

[[Image:godless_boku.png|50px]]

“At this time, the Mega Drive had already come out in ’88, but the Super Famicom was coming out in November of this year (1990). The war that caused was a hell of a thing.”

[[Image:godless_boku.png|50px]]

“And starting this August, the magazine Mega Drive Fan became monthly. That gave Sega fans a real boost, but the Mega Drive version of Rastan Saga II comes out 2 or 3 days after this volume ends.”

“The music in that was so good.”

[[Image:godless_boku.png|50px]]

“Thanks for the follow up comment! Thank you so much! Anyway, I’ll be playing Phelios on the Mega Drive and seeing Artemis in her underwear, but I have Senpai, so I won’t be interested in it.”

“Eh? Eh?”

[[Image:godless_kuwajiri.png|50px]]

“Okay, the background music this time has to be a 90s song, so it’s Tane Tomoko-san’s Why So Beautiful. It’s something of a phantom song since you can’t find it at on karaoke machines or on iTunes and you have to find a CD from the time.”

[[Image:godless_senpai.png|50px]]

“Now I’m getting confused about what year it is, but here’s the final thought: ‘Who was it that got back together?’ This series is going to use subtitles instead of numbering the volumes, so make sure you don’t miss the next one, okay?”



2019. A rainy morning.
