Afterword

Volume 2, just two months later! Since this afterword’s only one page, I’m going to pack it full!

First and foremost—I’m absolutely thrilled to have released the continuation of the maid story I’ve always wanted to write!

Sayaka remains the main heroine in Volume 2, but as you’ve seen, Maritsuji-san made quite the substantial appearance. An Ojou-sama who occasionally slips into Kyoto dialect—adorable, isn’t she? Yet here’s the thing: Maritsuji-san didn’t exist in the initial draft. She wasn’t even in the proposal.

Through several rewrites, she simply… appeared. Before I knew it, she’d made herself right at home. Well, it is a maid story after all—I had to have an Ojou-sama grace the pages. Technically speaking, Maki qualifies as an Ojou-sama too, but that one’s a gyaru through and through. Maritsuji-san pairs beautifully with our maid Sayaka while simultaneously serving as her rival, and she’s been doing wonderfully in that role. I still have so much more I want to write about maids, gyarus, and Kyoto beauties, so I’d be delighted if you continue supporting this series.

Hige Neko-sensei, thank you once again for the magnificent illustrations in Volume 2! My gratitude extends to my editor and everyone involved in this book’s production and sales, and of course, to all you wonderful readers!

I hope we’ll meet again!
