Volume 10, Afterword



Volume 10, Afterword

To the readers who continued to buy the books ever since the first volume was released, it's been quite a while.

To the studious readers who read ten volumes in one go, nice to meet you.

I'm Kamachi Kazuma.

It's finally the tenth volume now, but the time now is still September. Remembering that the first volume was at the end of July, the time that has passed in the novel is really slow. Also, for those who have finished reading this volume, this is the volume where time moves the slowest. Of course, it's slightly faster compared to the earlier ninth volume.

The magic theme this time isn't really any different from the ninth volume, it's just further elaboration on the 'constellation'. Spells that use 'constellation'-it's basically astrology, with the development of astronomy on the science side, the basic rules of this area of knowledge would be changed, and would cause new differences. And as Ptolemaism and Copernican theory change, the common knowledge about 'stars' would be overturned, which means the changes would be really big.

Considering the dynamics of this series, which revolves around the conflict between science and magic, I guess I can't ignore this, so I stealthily slipped this in.

As the times are different, whether Uranus and Pluto exist would largely affect the divination rules and results. Such a situation should be similar to quantum theory.

To Haimura-san, who is in charge of illustrations, and Miki-san, who's in charge of printing, I'm sorry for troubling you two all the time. Please continue to support me in the future.

At the same time, I would like to thank all the readers. I'll continue to write on. Please continue to give me feedback and support.

And now, this volume ends here.

I hope you'll continue to read the next volume.

At this moment, let me sign off first.

...Come to think of it, it's October now, isn't it time for winter clothing?
