姨母的诱惑 电影

For the first timer, nice to meet you. For the old timer, welcome back. I’m Harunohi Biyori.

This time too the volume can come out thanks to you readers and the bookstores and To Books and everyone involved, so once more, my many thanks to everyone!

This time the volume consisted of the orc extermination battle and Grave revenge battle. This too will be important even until the next volume.

The theme this time is 『strength』 and 『the reason human and monster fought』 I guess. In a normal tale, monster is usually the enemy and thing will turn into deathly battle the moment you encounter one. The monster got described as enemy right from the start without even any reason to defeat them and even the reason to be hostile against them is vague.

Of course there are also a lot of works that have deep explanation about that, but I’m someone who was curious about the reason of fighting monsters and how mankind can survive while powerful monsters existed around them.

Even the monsters are intelligent and humans still survive only because they live in group and the monsters are wary against that. Humans fought against those monsters because of a simple reason as living thing to protect their nest and raise their children.

In order to become stronger, monster would instinctually attack human who posses mana in a level that formed magic stone inside their body. Perhaps it looks like it might be possible for monster and human to reconcile if both sides are intelligence but, it’s impossible for predator and non-predator to understand each other.

I also often got asked what’s with the 『Otome game』 theme? Of course, it was partly because I liked the story of Otome game but, I imagined that behind the gorgeous scenes of Otome game is actually muddy with love and hate with politics dirtying everything mixed with some brutality. I wanted to depict such thing.

.

This time Aria’s partner the mythical beast Coeurl, Nero made his entrance.

Coeurl is a creature that appeared in a certain novel and it also appeared in a lot of other stories and games other than that novel. The reason I decided to create Nero was simply because I wanted to do something about Aria’s travelling method. I created the map first before starting to write the story so, the world was pointlessly big…….

With Nero’s entrance the world widened and it made it easier for the story to progress but, I didn’t want to turn Nero into comrade using something like taming skill that brainwashed monster, so I put effort to make the plot.

I had really asked a lot to the illustrator Hitakiyuu-sensei, but I was filled with emotion seeing Nero being so cool in the drawing. I also simply liked Samantha’s character design.

This time, the release of the third volume is also accompanied by the release of the first volume of the comic by Wakasa Kobato-sensei, so if by some chance you read this afterword at the bookstore, please also check the manga corner by all means!

Well then, let’s meet again later!
