Volume 15.5, Afterword

Hello, Im Kingusa and this season is hotter than ever, so Im having a hard time.

Im dreading it because its the harbinger of my least favourite season, but Im fortunate that theres been a trend of self-restraint recently, so no one will be angry if I stay at home. Having said that, Im sure the kids would love to play outside, so it would be nice if there was a way to let them play without disturbing other people.

Thats where skills with DIY, etc can be shown off

Yes. I started by talking about something unimportant, but volume 4.5 was the summer vacation edition.

The summer vacations from when I was a student were a long time ago, butwhile people often say they want to go back in time and re-live their school days, Ive not thought that even once. Its not like I had any bad experiences, and I enjoyed my school life to a point, but I dont have the patience and confidence to repeat the cycle of getting up in the morning, studying, part-time job and then going home at all! This is the decline.

My eyesight is getting worse day by day, and even just thinking about what it will be like in another ten years is terrifying The future is scary too!

Unlike last year, this is the story of a holiday on a luxury cruise ship without any special exams.

The relationship between Ayanokouji and Kei, and the changes in their classmates.

The changes in the new first-years, and Nagumo and the other third-years.

I think the students have grown tremendously from the summer vacation the year before.

And in contrast to the students who are growing, the adults who oversee them

Now then, this is going to be a bit of a spoiler, but were you able to guess who the White Room students were?

Yes, youve been keeping up with me, right? I understand, the story starts here.

From Volume 5 onwards, we will be in the second act of the second year, and I think it will be a big turning point.

Next time will be the start of the second semester, and it will be a special exam separated by year group.

While I was surprised when I realised that this will be the first time in several books that we have had a special exam for second year students only, I will be happy if you enjoy the next volume too.

I know theres a lot going on in the world right now, but lets all do our best to get through this.

Well then, I hope to see you again soon!
