Chapter 9: Volume 1 - Epilogue

Epilogue

Afterword

"The protagonist has ten special abilities, I think that's too much. It feels

like an initial whim created a very exaggerated setting, perhaps we should

reduce it by half? To be honest, this is very troublesome to write. Let's just

say it makes things difficult for me!!"

"Just continue with this setting, it will be fine right? Continue writing like

this!"

-- Prior to writing the first volume, that was the dialogue between the author

and the editor.

Greetings. We meet again, or perhaps for the first time.

Thanks to everyone's support of this work [Campione!], the second volume

is now for sale. Much thanks. Please do not overthink the reasons for the

long interval between the first and second volumes. There were absolutely

no careful deliberations over whether to continue the story or not.

Absolutely none. Never thought about it.

If one were to describe the battle between Kusanagi Godou and the

strange mysterious dragon of the Tonegawa (Doni in short), it would be an

intense death match with a strong characteristic feeling -- if such a short

story was proposed, would it be ignored with a response like "no, that won't

work!"? Was this for real? For this purpose I went and researched the

history of the Tonegawa, and became a bit of a Tonegawa expert!

To readers who picked up the book to browse, attracted by the beautiful

miko illustrations of Sikorsky-san, and were dismayed to find it was not the

first volume and wondered whether or not to buy it. That type of thought is

premature.

I believe this work belongs to the genre of hero fantasy, and pays tribute to

Cimmeria's Conan-san and Melinibone's Elric-san. "The first volume, is not

necessary the beginning of the story" is the idea.

Thus, there is no problem with starting with the first or the second volume.

Rest assured as you take this book to the cashier. No problem, when I was

looking for original editions of American comics, there were often times that

I couldn't find a previous issue. I got used to it.

...Though that is what I thought, but I am wondering if it is time to write a

"beginning story."

And so, the next release, Volume 3 will have the themes of the "joyful(?)

summer" and "beginnings of the Campione." The stage will be set on the

ocean, and I will look forward to Sikorsky-san's swimsuit illustrations.
