Chapter 145

Afterword Hello, this is Sarasa Nagase. Thank you very much for picking up Volume 10. This time, I wrote a new story specifically for publication. I hadn’t written about Aileen and the others in a long time, and it was a lot of fun. The story will continue in the next volume. Aileen has been held in contempt as a little princess who can’t do anything, and there’s no way she’s going to let that go unchallenged, so I hope you’ll look forward to it. Volume 5 of The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor is being released at the same time as this volume. I’ll be thrilled if you enjoy them both. In addition, the I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss anime begins airing in October 2022. Considering I started this series online without knowing a thing about writing, it feels like a dream. I’ve been blessed by the efforts of those around me, of course, and the fact that the series is being turned into an anime is also thanks to your support. I’m already looking forward to seeing Aileen and company move and talk! With regard to the manga version, Anko Yuzu has drawn Aileen and the rest of the cast for me again, this time in a volume of side stories. This one is even more dynamic and splendid than the others, and I really hope you’ll enjoy it to the fullest. Thank you for supporting Aileen and company in the anime, the manga, and the original novels. And now for the thank-yous. Mai Murasaki, I cloned Claude’s face before I noticed I’d done it, and I’m sorry…! Thank you for always creating such magnificent covers and illustrations for me, and thank you in advance for your help on the next volume as well. Anko Yuzu, thank you so much for drawing manga serials for both series at the same time! Please make sure to take care of your health. The anime production staff, thank you for all the consideration you’ve shown to me, the completely clueless author of the original series. Please take good care of Aileen and the rest of the characters. My supervising editors, thank you both for adjusting schedules and helping me out on various fronts. I’d also like to thank the members of each editorial department (of course), the designers, the proofreaders, and the many other people who’ve helped me. I’m very grateful to you. Most of all, everyone who picked up this book: Thank you so much for your unwavering support for Aileen and company. I’ll continue to do my very best so you’ll be able to enjoy this series along with my other one, The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor. Now then, I hope we’ll meet again. Sarasa Nagase
