Afterword
IF you’re a first-timer, nice to meet you! And for those who’ve purchased the first volume and have graciously decided to pick up the second one as well, long time no see! I’m Miyako Tsukahara.
Thank you for picking up volume two of The Abandoned Heiress Gets Rich with Alchemy and Scores an Enemy General!
Chloe and Julius just became acquainted in the first volume, but now they get along very well. I hope you were able to feel Julius’s deep affection for Chloe, despite the fact he’s a tsundere! You might think he isn’t quite “dere” enough or acting sweet towards Chloe, but rest assured, he definitely is deep down!
This volume features a good-natured Chloe, who decided to visit a neighboring kingdom on a whim. Soon, she gets embroiled in another nation’s affairs and drags Julius along for the ride! The highlight of the volume, in my opinion, is Satsuki Sheena’s illustration of Chloe in a fancy dress!
Julius usually calls Chloe “average,” “mediocre,” or “plain” (while secretly thinking that she’s an angel), and Chloe’s clothes usually look tattered because she’s always in combat. Please praise how good she looks in a dress, how cute her dress is, and how she’s a beautiful young maiden who’s only twenty!
All the illustrations are wonderful, of course! Even Julius was portrayed with his beautiful physique! It’s lovely! I’m so grateful!
It seems being a “beautiful young maiden” has become a catchphrase of sorts for Chloe, while Julius is still shooting glares at everyone, and Helios is as cute and innocent as ever. I’d be so happy if you enjoyed this book!
Lastly, I’d like to express my gratitude to my kind editor, who’s supported me this far, to Satsuki Sheena for the lovely illustrations in both volumes, and to everyone who has read this book. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
