Chapter 47: Afterword

Chapter 47: Afterword

Mom and Dad: "What kind of novel are you planning to write next?"

Me: "It’ll be a coming-of-age story like Nidonatsu. Since Nidonatsu even got made into a movie, I should be able to attract a lot of people if I write another work using a similar style."

Well, that was a lie, though.

Hi, I’m Akagi Hirotaka.

Honestly though, in the beginning, I really was thinking of writing a series with a similar feeling to "Second Summer, Never See You Again (Nidome no natsu, nidoto aenai kimi)". I thought that since I’d had enough fun with "Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist," I might as well try to write something more serious this time.

Besides, if during the release of the Nidonatsu movie its original author’s Twitter username was updated to "Akagi [email protected] Through Climax With a Single Strike! Now on sale!" then it wouldn’t be good, would it? People would think that my account was completely fake and impersonating the real author. Then the official Nidonatsu Twitter account would stop retweeting my tweets. That’s why I thought it would be better for my next work to have a serious title. I’m serious.

But when the production of the Nidonatsu movie started to go into full swing and it was unlikely for it to be abandoned halfway through, it suddenly occurred to me.

Since I wrote Nidonatsu, shouldn’t it be fine even if I wrote a more vulgar work?

Even if it was still in the works, Nidonatsu was being made into a live-action movie. Therefore, I could write whatever work I wanted and people wouldn’t be able to find fault with me as long as I said something like, "I wrote Nidonatsu."

Whenever I met a relative or a woman for the first time, I could just hand them a copy of Nidonatsu and say, "I write this kind of stuff" and I would be good to go. There weren’t any awkward exchanges like, "Yes, I’m a writer… hm? What’s the title of my work? Erm… sorry, it’s a little hard to say…" that caused people to think things like "Oh, this guy’s just a NEET." That’s right, everything’s fine as long as I have Nidonatsu.

As long as I have Nidonatsu I can write whatever I want. If my relatives grumble about anything, I can just show them Nidonatsu and my bank account.

No, no, it’s not like I wrote Nidonatsu for this kind of reason. I’m not clever enough to intentionally write something with those motives. It must have been my good luck that resulted in Nidonatsu becoming one of the light novels shown to parent-teacher associations when trying to convince them that these kind of light novels can also wholesome. Probably.

At any rate, it was that kind of recklessness that eventually led to the publication of this novel, "Exorcism Through Climax With a Single Strike!" …so, I wonder if you liked it? It’s not even about things like freedom of expression or sex education like Shimoseka, I just wrote it with the feeling of, "A girl doesn’t shine the brightest when she smiles! It’s when she has an ahegao!" This first volume didn’t have many "ahe" moments so I’ll have to think about how to increase those kinds of scenes while keeping everything legal in the next volume. I wonder if it’ll be alright? This series won’t bring shame to Gagaga Bunko, will it…? Well, we did succeed in getting this published, as you can see, so there isn’t any problem is there!

Now, to everyone involved in the publication of this ahegao-inspired work.

I would like to thank you all for putting up with me, the help you have given me, and the great support you’ve given me every day. Thanks to your help, I was able to publish this book containing girls climaxing with just a single poke. Thank you very much. I hope to return the favor by providing many more climactic depictions in the future.

Well then, let’s meet again in the next volume everyone. I hope you weren’t offended by things like what book identifier this novel was published under.

Nhooooooooo! (my way of saying farewell)
