Mushi:Vol5 Authors Notes
Author's Notes[edit]
Legends throughout the world spoke of Gods killing Giants, who ruled the primordial world before Gods. This action can be interpreted as defying the existing gods, denying that 'I' am a Giant, defying adults and declaring that the world governed by them is not important for us, instead creating a brand new world possessed solely by ourselves. In other words, those stories embodied us taking control over our own lives.
The Mushi to Medama series started with killing the massive Dream World Beast. It was a coincidence, not a deliberate imitation of legends. You can probably find that "The Unified Structure of God and Me", the article I fabricated in this work, to coincidentally fit into many things. It was a bit twisted, but still similar enough.
But would that be just misrepresenting reality? However, in other words, even if everything I wrote was wrong, it would be pretty awesome as long as someone out there accepted my thoughts.
That was the end of my introduction.
Good evening, my name is Akira. The final chapter of the Mushi to Medama series, Mushi, Eyeballs, and Snow White, finally made its way to your hands. I have started many series, but it was the first time for me to conclude a story. I admit I am a bit nervous. I was pretty worried whether this book would fall flat on its face.
It was all thanks to my great readers and the editors and artists who supported me since the beginning that I was able to be here today. Thank you all so very much.
I would like to thank Satō-san in particular, who never got upset with my whims and always treated me gently, and approached the job with dedication and responsibility. I would also like to thank Satō-san's predecessor, Kindaichi-san, who always consoled me when I got too tired and even supplied me with books and CDs to relax. I would also like to thank Mitsuki Mouse-san, who created unique and lovely images to portray the bizarre world of Mushi to Medama in a more mild way. The three of them deserve special thanks.
I would also like to thank all my readers. Mushi to Medama was adopted into a manga as well as into Drama CDs, and I have received so many lovely fanarts and letters from my readers since then. Of course, there were also readers who purchased the Mushi to Medama novels out of the myriad of books out there in bookshops. It was all thanks to you. Thank you so much.
The article labelled "The Unified Construction of God and I" at the beginning of Mushi, Eyeballs, and Lovesong never explained the purpose of God. I am going to provide an answer here.
The purpose of God was to perpetuate this happy and peaceful world.
And 'my' purpose was also to live a long, happy, and peaceful life.
This novel really just wants to bring more peace and happiness into people's lives, even if only for a little bit. Please live longer, all the Gods in this world.
Thank you for reading all the way till the end. I would like to sincerely thank you.
I can suddenly see Guriko-chan in my mind. I am so happy.
