It’s been a while, everyone. I’m Hitsuji Gamei, the author.
After-School Dungeon Diver volume 4 is finally out! Congratulations! And thank you! I never knew whether I should say “congratulations” or “thank you” whenever I write an afterword, so I decided to go with both this time! It makes it sound like I’m acting some sort of monodrama, but anyway. Thank you very much for reading my work.
This time, the story starts with Akira taking Eldrid on a trip to the modern world, and a new heroine (?) appears for the first time. Some of you may be thinking “There were actually about two of those!” which would be an inconvenient truth for me as an author, so please allow me some time to recover my sanity points. She’ll make a proper appearance soon...
Included in this volume are some stories not featured in the online version. There are some fun times with Eldrid, along with a small peek into her past. On top of that, we have more Linte, including some lewd parts.
Of course, it also features the episode with butter soy sauce and clam cooking in soy sauce. Reading about corn with steak at night is sure to give you cravings, but grilled shellfish is just as delicious too! I haven’t personally eaten a lot of hard clams before, though, nor have I eaten many horned turbans! Unfortunately, there are only so many places that produce them in Hokkaido. I hope I’ve added enough food episodes this time...
I digress, but in the published version, I’d like to add some more episodes about the characters’ pasts—just enough so it doesn’t affect the overall vibe of the story. And of course, I’d like to keep adding more food episodes.
Lastly, I would like to sincerely thank GCN Bunko, my editor K, illustrator Karei, Ouraidou K. K., and all the readers who have been supporting me.
