Hello! This is Ren Eguchi. Thank you very much for purchasing Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Volume 16: White Fish Meunière and the Leviathan’s Wake! It’s all thanks to my readers that this series has remained in publication for such an incredibly long time, and I couldn’t possibly be more grateful.
For a variety of reasons, I’ve been unable to update the web novel version of this story recently. I understand that many readers have been worried about me, and I both apologize profusely for causing you concern and greatly appreciate all the words of encouragement that so many of you have sent me.
Now then—volume 16 takes us to the capital city! It’s somehow just so like Mukohda’s party to finally take a trip to the capital not for its own sake, but in the hopes of getting a leviathan butchered. Then, without sparing Mukohda even a moment to do some sightseeing, his familiars hustle him away to go hunting! The nasty locales they end up visiting are exactly the sort of places you’d expect his party to steer toward, as well, and I hope you enjoy the hijinks they get up to there.
I reported in the previous volume that a second season of the anime had been greenlit, and I’m sure some of my readers are very curious about how it’s been progressing. Rest assured that production is continuing at a steady pace! Please look forward to it!
To my illustrator Masa-sensei; Akagishi K-sensei, who’s drawing the main comic adaptation; Momo Futaba-sensei, who’s handling the spin-off comic; the staff at Studio MAPPA and everyone else involved in the production of the anime’s second season; my editor “I”; and all the other good people at Overlap: Thank you all so much for your help and support!
Finally, I hope you’ll continue enjoying the laid-back, heartwarming adventures of Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill! I look forward to seeing you again in volume 17!
