Afterword

Nice to meet you. I’m Hitsuji, the author.

Thank you so much for picking up this work.

This story was originally published on Kakuyomu, and I’m absolutely thrilled that it’s now been published as a book. For all the readers who followed it online, I hope the addition of wonderful illustrations in this book feels like a small way of repaying your support.

In particular, to all the Himeka-san fans out there, what did you think?

The vast majority of comments about this work have been from Himeka-san fans, completely dominating the feedback. To all of you passionate fans, I hope you enjoyed the newly written wedding scene, Himeka-san’s adorable illustrations, and the delightful developments.

As a side note, the plot I submitted went through several revisions, but the wedding with Himeka-san got approved pretty quickly. Originally, I had no intention of including a wedding arc and planned to focus solely on Himeno in the plot… Himeka-san fans, you didn’t do anything to influence this, right…?

Lastly, I’d like to express my gratitude to Kagachisaku-sama for the wonderful illustrations, my editor Komano-sama, everyone involved in this project, and all of you who read this book. Thank you so much.
