Nowadays, I have been writing while going to and leaving the office together with my friends. Since I cannot write well at home, let’s write while outside of home, with that thought in mind, I made a mutual understanding. After leaving for work at 7AM and typing away at the typewriter, just at the moment when I felt delighted because of the fact that I am able to write better here than when I am at home, a sudden realization came to be a step late: I started writing because I didn’t like commuting every day to a company, but isn’t this no different to working at a company······?
However, realization has always been something that came late to me, and since I have already made a contract, I have no other choice but to continue this office life for at least 1 year. For that reason, this is an afterword that is being typed out much after the main text.
As expected, the opening song and the ending song that were included with the audio drama were splendid beyond description. Although the two songs have a different feeling to them, I believe that they both magnificently have an aspect of <dungeon>contained within them. (The ending song, <desert>, was even sung pa.s.sionately by the voice actor Nam Dohyeong, during the Anime Sound Festival!)</desert></dungeon>
I express my thanks to the director, singer, voice actors/voice actresses, composers, lyricists, production director, design director, and the editor who was able to connect all of this together.
This ma.n.u.script was late beyond imagination. The responsibility for the late ma.n.u.script is completely on me. I thought that I would be able to complete the ma.n.u.script by September, but what’s this? It became late and late again and at some point, it had become December. During even September, October, and November, I asked the editorial department if they could wait a bit longer······, and on all such occasions, my editor waited patiently. I have no excuse for this delay that lasted for no less than 3 months. I can only feel apologetic towards the editor that is in charge of me.
The last people who I wish to thank is, just like always, you readers.
