Afterword

Afterword

“The Snow Country Hunting Life of the Northern Nobleman and the Raptor Wife” is now finished.

How many final chapters have you written!? You might say, but it’s really finished now.

It became the longest one out of all my works.

This work received an award at the 3rd Elysium Novel Competition, and it was even published into a book. You never know what might happen in life, I recall thinking back then.

I’m very thankful to the one in charge of design and illustrations, Akaneko (あかねこ)-sensei. No words of gratitude will be enough.

Also, I think working with an editor affected my work a lot.

Just a few words of advice could evolve into a story. I received a lot of help.

The second last line of the final chapter, “Hunting, gathering and eating! That’s all there is, but these are lovely days.” That line was thanks to my editor.

The moment I saw that, I immediately liked it, thinking that it captured the spirit of the novel.

I asked for permission and used it for the final chapter.

The people I want to thank the most are the readers that continued to support me.

Thanks to your support, I could continue until the end, and I even managed to get the novel published.

Thank you very much.

I’ll continue to write stories that will satisfy you.

Thank you so much!
