Afterword
HELLO everyone, I’m Riia Ai, a Japanese novelist. Thank you very much for reading my novel!
I started writing this story out of the casual desire to write about cute fox girls and filled it with all my favorite elements from there, such as fluffy creatures, transformations, and girls who are the epitome of adorable pureness. So you can imagine I never dreamed this work would get a translated, published release…! I’d be thrilled if you enjoyed what you read!
If it was you, would you believe your family member if they one day suddenly said: “I have memories of my past life” and “This is a video game world!”? I’m sure the level of trust you already have in that person would affect its impact, but I get the feeling I probably wouldn’t be able to believe them anyway. But Miku decides to believe her sister to the very end, even though she’s doubtful at times. I feel like I learned through Miku that it’s important to “decide for yourself what you believe in.” It might sound strange for the author to learn from their characters, but I often learn a lot from them.
I write with the sense that the story has a world of its own and the characters really live there. I plan to continue seeing where their lives go and putting it down on paper as I learn from them.
Last but not least, I would like to thank everyone who worked on the English translation and the illustrator who drew the gorgeous illustrations. I’m very grateful to every last one of you. Thanks to you, I was able to put out this lovely story. I also extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who took an interest in this story and read it! Thank you!
I hope I was able to entertain you for a few hours.
Riia Ai
