The sword apparently went missing at the abandoned mine they briefly checked out once before, but upon further exploration, they discover that the mine is really a full-blown dungeon!

## Afterwords

> It’s been a long time, and a heroine character with animal ears has finally appeared in Volume 7! Yay! It’s also the first time that art of a heroine with animal ears has appeared on the cover of a volume! Huh? What about Riva? I mean, she’s in a different category, so yeah. It’s not like I wrote her because I had no idea if this series would last long enough for Mary and Metea to show up, nope! Huh? What about Kaho? I mean, she’s also in a different category. Fox ears are cute, and she’s one of my favorite characters, but she’s a side story character, so yeah. Huh? What about Touya? He doesn’t count at all. Sure, he might have acted like a heroine back in Volume 5, but it wasn’t actually Touya himself controlling his own body during those scenes, so that doesn’t count, right? On a side note, I tried to make Mary and Metea show up in Volume 6 so that I could see Nekobyou Neko-san’s wonderful art for them, but I gave up on that idea after I realized that it was physically impossible to do so. With that in mind, I’m really glad that Volume 7 got published! I really appreciate your cute art for Mary and Metea, Nekobyou Neko-san!

> While we’re on the topic of art, let’s talk about a certain character that was very unlucky in this volume in terms of art. The character that had character design art drawn for her, the character that showed up on the cover, and the character that only had one spoken line before she was knocked out in one hit! Umezono-san never showed up on the cover of a volume and never got any art drawn for her, but even she got more scenes than that character! Umezono-san did get an illustration in this volume, however. In fact, I received drawings for Umezono’s character design way back in Volume 2, but she finally got to see the light of the day here in Volume 7. On the other hand, I have also received drawings for the Baronet of Reed’s character design, but those ended up being scrapped. He won’t show up again anyway, and it’s not like anyone really wants to see him, right? Sorry about this, Nekobyou Neko-san. However, the unlucky character that I mentioned just now might show up again in a future volume, or maybe she won’t!

> Now, then, the side stories of this volume were about how Touya and Sai became real men in different ways. I don’t think there’s any need for me to talk about Touya’s adventures in the side story, however. I tried my best to write the side story with a smutty theme, and I hope it worked out. As for Sai, he has some cool scenes, and he’s on the path of a standard heroic protagonist. Don’t worry, Sai, I think you’re cooler than Nao is! However, whether or not you can get some romantic scenes with Estelle depends on how long the light novel version of this series can last for, so good luck! Last but not least, I would like to thank all of the readers for purchasing Volume 7 of To Another World... with Land Mines! It’s thanks to all your support that another volume was able to be published, and I hope you will all continue to offer your support. I’d like to end on this note, and let’s hopefully meet again some time in future.
