Afterword
HELLO, Hanami Nishine here.
I’m ecstatic to be able to deliver the third volume of The Dragon’s Soulmate is a Mushroom Princess! to everyone. I’d like to celebrate by shedding spores with all of the mushrooms around the world!
Our main character, Agnes, is a common-born count’s daughter with pink hair and the spirits’ divine protection, and she can also grow mushrooms. Prince Claude, a mushroom fetishist, uses the power of love to help her improve her self-esteem, which was at rock bottom due to her awful ex-fiancé. After Agnes accepted the special position of Dragonmate to a dragon-blooded royal, the two officially became engaged.
This volume is not only bursting with mushrooms, but it also concerns the mystery of how Agnes’s parents died, a visit by a neighboring country’s royals, her evil ex-fiancé’s meddling, the source of Agnes’s power, and a new power of Claude’s.
Volume 3 also continues the Mushrooms of the Day segment at the end of each chapter. I was surprised by how popular the mushrooms are! You could say they’re the real stars of this story. This volume features plenty of mushroom shenanigans as well! Enjoy their brave and sometimes misguided struggles, spurred on by their adoration of Agnes.
I’ve received comments from readers like, “I bought a picture book of mushrooms” and “My search history is full of mushrooms now.” So, I recommend you read this series while looking up all the mushroom varieties you meet here too.
Finally…
To all the readers who’ve read the story so far and supported the mushrooms.
To poporucha-sensei, who draws such beautiful artwork of the characters and mushrooms.
To the publisher who gave me the opportunity to publish the sequel and all the people involved in the publishing process.
To my family and cat, who support my writing.
It is thanks to you all that I was able to deliver the third volume of The Dragon’s Soulmate is a Mushroom Princess!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all!
I hope to see you all again in the next volume.
