Hello, I’m Mashimesa Emoto.
Thank you so much for buying A Surprisingly Happy Engagement for the Slime Duke and the Fallen Noble Lady: Volume 3.
This third volume revolved around pearl cultivation and the preparations for Francette and Gabriel’s wedding.
As I wrote in the first volume’s afterword, this story was originally meant to end with a “happy engagement” as per the title. It was supposed to be a stand-alone volume, so I feel truly fortunate to have been able to continue writing it all the way to Francette and Gabriel’s marriage.
Kasumi Nagi-sensei provided a gorgeous cover illustration once again. Francette is so beautiful in her wedding dress! Gabriel looks dashing too, and the slimes celebrating with them are adorable. It’s the perfect cover. Thank you so much, Kasumi Nagi-sensei!
There are a lot of leftover pages for the afterword this time, so this may be sudden, but I’d like to write about what a typical day in my life entails.
First, I wake up at around 8 a.m., but I don’t get out of bed right away. Instead, I lie around for an hour or so.
At about 9 a.m., I get up, brush my teeth, wash my face, and have breakfast. I get most of my news online, so I usually watch YouTube instead while I eat.
I usually begin work around 10 a.m. I hear that freelancers should change out of their pajamas even if they don’t plan on going outside, because it lets you switch into work mode more easily. However, I don’t worry about that and spend the whole day in my pajamas anyway. I’m very lazy. I truly respect those who can change clothes even if they aren’t going out.
After that, I might eat lunch, or I might not. Then I continue working, and at around 2 to 3 p.m., I take the nap I’ve been waiting for all day. I nap almost daily, sometimes for as long as two hours. I need a lot of sleep, so this afternoon nap is very important. And since I’m wearing my pajamas, I can sleep well.
When I wake up, I take a bath and have dinner. I work some more from about 9 to 11:30 p.m., stay up for a couple more hours, and go to sleep between 1 to 2 a.m.
That concludes a day in my life. I’ve kept it a secret thus far because it’s embarrassing to spend the entire day in my pajamas. This is my first time revealing it to the public. Please do not tell anyone about what you have read here. I’m sorry I’m writing about this in the final volume...
The manga adaptation of A Surprisingly Happy Engagement for the Slime Duke and the Fallen Noble Lady by Niso Tanuda-sensei is currently being serialized. The manga version of Wibble is very cute and soothes my soul every time I see it. Francette is very sweet, and Gabriel looks wonderful too.
As a reader, I’m looking forward to seeing how the rest of the story will be depicted. It’s serialized on the Japanese website Fire CROSS, so please check it out.
Lastly, to all of my readers, thank you for reading this far! It’s because of your support that I was able to bring you Francette and Gabriel’s happy marriage! I hope to see you again in one of my other works.
