Afterword

​Truth be told, I’m actually terrible with theme parks.

​Yes, thank you very much for reading Volume 4. This is Mitou Koutarou.

​I mean, a place where so many extroverts gather is just tough for us shut-ins. Roller coasters are scary. But Masato-kun is a perfect superhuman, so he can have a blast even in a place like that. Truly a legend.

​Following Yuka and Seira-san, we had the attacks from Mizuho and Koumi. Volume 4 was a busy one, revealing the reason why Koumi was the “childhood friend type.” I hope you enjoyed it.

​Almost half of this volume consisted of newly written material, and the author’s workload has been increasing. It’s truly what you’d call a “happy scream.” It’s all thanks to everyone.

​Personally, I really like Seira-san’s game center chapter and the chapter where Yuka and Koumi sizing each other up. I was dancing with joy to have both of them made into color illustrations. …Isn’t Koumi’s sportswear a little too sexy? (Ecstatic).

​You might have an image of Seira-san as a dangerous person, but she’s actually a fun person like that. Truly. I’m also happy I could gradually write the interactions between the heroines.

​Leaving one person aside, Masato-kun has received confessions from four people and is now agonizing. What kind of answer will he give, and what kind of end will this story reach? I hope you’ll stick with us until the very end.

​…Hey, Shiori, if you don’t hurry up, you’re gonna get left behind.

​Are you all reading the manga adaptation? I feel like I’m the one looking forward to the updates the most. The heroines drawn by Momoki-sensei are truly cute, so please give it a read.

​And amazingly, we’re going to have a PV made for this series! Isn’t that incredible!? A PV! Please check it out from my X (formerly Twitter) account!

​Finally, some acknowledgments. Editor S-shi, who exerts so much effort for this work. I trust you like a demon. We’re in this together… (yandere voice). I’m also deeply grateful to the editorial department for giving the green light to this work until the end.

​Jimmy-sama, who provided the amazing illustrations for Volume 4 once again. The illustration of Mizuho is divine. It was exactly the scene I had imagined, and I was moved. Thank you so much.

​And to the readers! It’s thanks to all of you that I can write this story to the end. I believe that all I can do is work my hardest to deliver a good work, so I’ll keep giving it my all until the very end!

​I pray that we can meet again in the next volume. Until then!

​While protecting my knee, which I injured after my body didn’t move as expected during a rare game of baseball,

​Mitou Koutarou
