Volume 20 afterword (1/1)

Long time no see everyone, it's the author, Takehaya This ti, adding in the side chapters and DVD extras, it's the 23rd volume but I am still happy Thank you very much everyone

Included in this volume is a series of short stories entitled 'Rokujou half will be included in the next volume Unlike the other work I've done on the series, these are incredibly peaceful

Truth be told, there is so that is always on my mind when I handle this work I alorry that the readers e the contents as the volue, I use Doraee is the sarandma, and once everyone is used to the characters there's the long dramatic piece This looks like a proper e flaith this Depending on the ti of when the reader fell in love with the work, the story ht develop in an unwanted fashi+on

In particular, when you enter the story summary, there are a lot of serious develophts There are those that like that kind of story, but it's not necessarily so everyone would want The readers from the very start I am sure would also like the same as usual Doraemon, and the heartfelt moments that appear from time to time

So I would sometime like to write volumes like this every now and then, but that creates new proble the flow intact between the Folsaria arc and the Forthorthe arc A clear link in the story wasable to squeeze in a period where nothing happens there

So instead, rather than trying to make a volume out of it, I wanted to squeeze it in between the main volumes Just then, the 'Read it! HJ Bunko' site for shorter stories was started That site worked hat I wanted and the short stories were revealed like this

From now on, as we advance into the Forthorthe arc, collections of the short stories written on 'Hercules!' will be added in as extras I ork hard so that everyone can enjoy themselves

And in the next volume, volume 21, the Forthorthe arc will finally start I a if I should add a subtitle to this or not If I do, it would be called 'The Golden Princess and the Blue Knight' The golden princess who had been in a supporting role 2,000 years ago would be taking the lead this part As the situation develops into soo, an adventure unfolds Look forward to it

That's about it for this tis I would like to give rateful thanks to everyone at the editorial depart 20 volumes, Poco-san who always draws me cute illustrations, and finally to you readers who have supported me for all this time

Then let us ain in the afterword of volume 21
