Thanks to the publisher, Mag Garden Novels; the illustrator, Tsugutoku; the designers; my editor, 0; and, of course, everyone who purchased the first volume! Thank you all for making the publishing of volume 2 possible!
Also, this series is going to be released as a manga! MAGCOMI will be the publisher, and the art will be done by Mukojima Kamome. Thanks to everyone who’s supported the web version as well!
I’ve also finished volume 3 of the web version. I’m looking forward to writing more of the story. Thank you to the website that let me publish my stories on it, and to all the readers! Please continue supporting me in the future!
Lastly, I’d like to thank a few more things. First—my body that allows me to exist more or less as a human, which consists mostly of the carbonated liquid goodness that is Coke instead of water. Second—my organs that are no longer capable of digesting noodles, excessive caffeine, or fats. Also, thank you to the nutrients that fuel my body: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and others. Thank you to the 35 liters of water, 4 liters of ammonia, 1.5 kilograms of lime, 800 grams of phosphorus, 250 grams of salt, 100 grams of nitrite, 80 grams of sulfur, 75 grams of fluorine, 5 grams of iron, 3 grams of silicon, and small amounts of 15 other elements that make up my body tissue. Thank you to the deoxyribose, phosphoric acid, and bases that make me who I am. Thank you to both oxygen molecules and adenosine triphosphate, which allow me to produce energy through respiration. Thank you to the elementary molecules and the autotrophs that produce the substances necessary for life activities. Thank you to the decomposers, which are critical in the cycle of life. Thank you to the sun, which gave birth to the Earth, the Milky Way galaxy, which houses our solar system, and the vast universe, which houses us all. And a big thank-you to each and every one of you!
