Chapter 41

Afterword Long time no see. This is Kisetsu Morita. The second volume of A Mysterious Job Called Oda Nobunaga is out! Thank you so much! In very broad terms, this is the capital-bound arc. I think historical figures everywhere took this sort of approach—going into the capital together with a noble who is in a position to become king, just like Oda Nobunaga. Alsrod likewise enters the royal capital and becomes regent, the most powerful of vassals. However, in Japan’s Sengoku period, holding power in Kyoto merely amounted to a hegemony over the capital region, since those with any authority in Kyoto were ousted over and over again. And so Alsrod is still stuck having to fight his enemies, not to mention fighting desperately to secure his power in the capital area to begin with. This is what the second volume is about! Also, since becoming regent would likely lead to having more wives, there are even more enchanting girls drawn by Mr. Kaito Shibano in the second volume! I hope you enjoyed these as well! You may have seen the ads by now, but… A Mysterious Job Called Oda Nobunaga is now slated for a manga adaptation! It will be published via Gangan GA, just like the manga adaptation of I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level, the light novel version of which shares the same GA Novel label as the book you’re reading now. (Please take a look at I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years… as well!) Honestly, when I was contacted about a manga adaptation for A Mysterious Job Called Oda Nobunaga, I called the editor to make sure I really could get a second work adapted—that this wasn’t some kind of mistake. When they confirmed it was true, I was absolutely thrilled! I will announce more detailed information once I have it! In this volume, the unification of the kingdom is getting closer and closer, but the manga adaptation is just getting started! I hope you’ll cheer on Alsrod in his endeavors there as well! Mr. Kaito Shibano has yet again drawn many truly wonderful illustrations for this book, all of which help motivate me to put out more chapters on Shousetsuka ni Narou! Thank you so much! Well then, let’s meet again in Volume 3! Respectfully yours, Kisetsu Morita
