Afterword
THANK YOU FOR BUYING this book! We’ve made it to Volume 8 now. Thank you for sticking with me this far.
Fia finally learns of the head saint selection, makes her debut as a (pretend) saint, and, well…performs some miracles! But the head saint selection part of the story will be put on temporary hold for a while, as the coming arc will focus on the royal family instead.
Once again, chibi provided the wonderful illustrations for the volume! The jesters they drew for the last volume were simply wonderful, so I just had to have them again for this volume! If I saw the Fia, Cerulean, and Dolly on the cover performing in a plaza, I’d definitely go watch them myself. Thank you, chibi.
This volume is being released at the same time as Volume 2 of the prequel, A Tale of the Secret Saint ZERO. To mark the occasion, we decided to include the prologue of said prequel in this volume. Please check the series out if you liked that prologue! While ZERO is a prequel work, I believe it stands on its own and can be enjoyed as is!
Also to mark the occasion, we’re hosting our second character popularity poll! A short story for the winning character will go up for free on our publisher’s (Earth Star) home page, so go ahead and vote for your favorite!* Incidentally, the winning character last time was First Knight Brigade captain Cyril at 726 votes.
I’ve also started a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/touya_stars) for making announcements, so feel free to follow me there.
I would like to end by thanking you for reading this far. Thank you to everyone who worked hard to make this book a reality and to all my dear readers. Coming out with two books at once was hard, but I enjoyed the work! I hope you enjoyed reading.
* Voting closed in February 2022.
