Afterword

The Strongest Survival by Otome Game’s Heroine volume 2 is on sale!

To those who is here for the first time, and to the old readers, this is Harunohi Biyori.

If I can be honest, this work is something that I started for a relaxation, thinking that it will be nice if there are those who has the same interest like me, but it draw more interest than expected which shocked me.

The drastic increase of that interest become the work this time that reached all of you, the third chapter, Ash Crowned Assassin.

When I started writing the story, I had decided the final scene before it, so my feeling of wanting to write that scene is becoming my motivation to write the light novel but, this third chapter is a necessary content in order to reach there, so I was really nervous when writing a story this bloody, wondering whether the reader will be able to accept it or not. Even so I received a lot of support. From there I understood that as expected, the most important source of motivation is the support from the readers.

This time, continuing after Elena in the first volume, two characters who are important to this story has made their entrance.

One is the sorcery teacher, Serjura. Her existence has been hinted since first volume, so I’m happy that I can finally show her. She is an older sister type with vulgar way of speaking.

And then, the super dangerous character whose popularity rivaled the main character Aria, Carla. She gives off the scent of a psychopath strongly but, the respond every time she showed up in the web novel increased. That’s Carla.

She is also one of my favorite characters. Her conversation with Aria is my greatest favorite, so read it no matter what.

That kind of conversation with such strange atmosphere is my favorite, whether writing it or reading it.

I wonder why that is……. A lot of the villainesses that I wrote has bankrupt personality but, it feels like the more terrible they are, the more popular they will become (lol)

Because of that the special perk side stories are naturally chapters about Serjura and Carla. Fundamentally only Aria has first person perspective in the main story, so please enjoy the rare scene of those two’s thinking.

I’m sorry to those who are interested with Elena because she has no turn this time!

The illustration is drawn by Hitaki Yuu-sensei again! I think those of you who has seen the front cover understand but, the illustrations this time are wonderful too.

Also, the comicalization has started. The one who is drawing that adorable but cool Aria is Wakasa Kobato-sensei!

I was able to produce the second volume is also thanks to all of you readers who are reading this book, the bookstores that are putting this book in their place, and To Books-sama and every involved staff who followed this inept me. Thank you very much!

I’ll work hard so that you readers won’t need to wait too long for the third volume too, so please support me everyone.

Well then, let’s meet again at the third volume.
