Afterword

Its been 4 months, just like last time. Its everyones Kinukinu!

Its the first year of the Reiwa era, so hows everyone doing? Im very spirited.

Alright, Ill talk about what Ive been doing recently next, but Ive really done nothing but work except for one weekend when I went kayaking.

Autumns a great time to take a holiday, I really want to just go on a drive for a night at the hot springs, but thats just a thought. Right now, the only thing I can do is to continue working.

Speaking of this, I havent visited a shrine in 1, or 2 years. Although thats just a trivial piece of information, recently, it feels like Im growing old now.

I was an expert with computers and technology back then, but as mobile phone technology gets more advanced, I found that I wasnt able to use them that well.

Now its too complicated, and I have no clue what all these features are used for. Other than the apps basic functions, Im wasting everything else, staring blankly.

Objectively looking at myself, Im noticing that Im also slowly becoming that sort of model of adult who isnt good at using technology.

Even when I drive, therere still functions and buttons that I dont know how to use ahhhh yeah, I cant keep up with these changing times.

Anyway, thats enough about me being out of it. And so, the first year ends like this. It seemed like a long time, and thinking back, its unimaginable how time flies.

The story of Ayanokouji, and the friends around him. Although this book is one of many, I hope that everyone can see the various changes and growth surrounding them. And from the next volume onwards, it will be about the long awaited 2nd year arc.

Its needless to say that the confrontation and battle between the classes will stay the same. I also plan to use the 3rd years, 1st years, and the school. The battle between those 4 aspects will be the core of the story and will drive the plot forward. Although the amount of information will increase and therefore will be harder to keep track of, I hope everyone sticks with it!

The work on the illustrations are steadily progressing, and the front and back covers are already in production.
