Vol 4 Epilogue (2/2)
happy, relaxing volume -
That hat I had planned, so how did it turn out like this?
“I had heard originally that this was going to have a cheery, relaxing plot, so
why is the first draft over four hundred players long? I personally really want
you to explain this ht out of the X-Files”
Yes, the truth about this entire affair is actually even deeper than the
Gutenberg” (TL note: A layer located between the earth’s mantle and core)
Do you want to know?
“Even deeper than the earth’s mantle? Spit it out then”
I’ll be honest
Wasn’t it because soa with
my wife?
Because of that, I ended up spending one week of each
a artist
“Ehabout that”
Also it was because I took up one of the series my previous editor S sent
over
Over here there isn’t ,
but just as I was rushi+ng to finish the volume up my typewriter broke, and as I
was going to get a new one I was run over by a car that smashed my bones
to bits, but luckily since I was short on cash my insurance helped my purse
quite a bit so never mind
“Is that all?”
The problem is after that, because my lead editor completely messed up my
work progression, wanting me to work on three volumes, and due to the
process of dividing the workload being rather complicated, I was at my limit
just writing half a volume
So it becaes, but since it’s half a volume the structure of
the story began to have proble the story
lacking a climax -
Thus, I began pondering and editing the structure of the story with regards to
that
So? Did this explanation reach the Guten-whatever?”
“It’s the Gutenberg, how should I put it, um – thank you for your hard work
♥ “
Yeah, the situation could be mostly attributed to 「Human error」, so please
say a feords about this incident ♥
“To think that such devilish editors exist what a horrifying working
environment”
Yes, to think that a devil could say such words with a straight face how
scary (tre voice)
- Never mind, I won’t mention human error for now, but actually a lot of
other things happened that I just didn’t write down
Such as diabetes, I was scolded byjust
fro out to eat yakitori once
- But just let me say this, all this isn’t made up
“Kao for an exorcism!”
I already have!
“Huh?”
I went to Meiji Shrine before I got cancer
I visited Fushi+ot cancer
This year I went to visit Kawashi+ka Daishi+ But all this still happened anyway
If I hadn’t been to visit all these places, I ht even be on the other side of
the Sanzu River by now (TL note: All the places above are places significant
to japanese Buddhist beliefs Sanzu River is a river that traditionally divides
the border between life and death)
Ah, but at the end of the year I went to check my bank book only to see that
it had only the number 「0」written on it, I don’t even have money to pay the
ferryman across the river what happens if I don’t pay him? WillI come
back to life?
“No, I don’t think those sort of lifelines exist”
Fine – just like that, I’llstop here
The content of this volu)
But this is also approaching a sprint – the plot of this series entered its climax
in the previous volume, so to surpass it! I willsprint forward even faster, so
please support -
“Ah, Kamiya-sensei, Kamiya-sensei”
Huh? Ah, I’ to finish this up
“The editor of Alive is here to rush you, is your storyboard draft completed
yet?”
…
“And the special volume and the script for a booklet ofsome project, and
don’t forget – huh? Kamiya-sensei? Hey~ are you still there?”

series of dating siames by Konami, there is a well-known
cheat that sets all the player’s stats to 573 if they change their names to
Konamiman Konami in japanese is pronounced the same way as 573
However, this affects negative stats as well, like susceptibility to
injuries, things like that Since the game they’re in is presumably based
on it, this cheat should work as well
