Afterword

[GENERATION FAILED - RAW TEXT]

Thank you so much as always for reading this book!

And so,Level 2 Cheathas reached volume thirteen. My personal focus this volume was on bringing background characters from previous volumes back into the story. There was the demon merchant who appeared back when Calsi’im was in charge of the Dark Army, characters from Hi Izuru and Indol, and even the Divine Beasts. All in all, this book has familiar faces hidden all throughout its pages. I might suggest taking the opportunity to go back and reread some of the previous volumes. Maybe it will make you enjoy this one all the more!

The section featuring the retired Hero was entirely new to the print version. Perhaps I’ll dig more into that setting later on... Of course, there were many episodes drawn from the original web novel, but these two were heavily revised. All told, almost all of this volume ended up being original writing.

This book is coming out at the same time as volume six of the manga adaptation of the story. As the author of the original, I very much hope you enjoy that version as well. And I’m delighted to say that the manga serialization ofOtherworld Izakaya: Sawako’s Tale of Seizing Prosperity with Slender Armshas been well received so far as well!

And finally, I’d like to thank Katagiri for once again providing this book with some truly excellent illustrations, the people from Overlap Novels who helped with the publication and everything else, and every one of you who picked up this book. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
