## Afterwords

> That’s Volume 6 of To Another World... with Land Mines! I’m surprised that I got the opportunity to say that. Does that mean people were actually purchasing duplicate books for archival purposes and to help popularize the series?! Yay—actually, probably not. It’s really thanks to the people who bought copies for themselves.

> Now then, this volume is a particularly memorable one for me because it happens to be my twelfth published work overall. Finishing double digits of books was actually one of my goals when I started writing. As for why I say it’s the twelfth instead of tenth, that’s because my tenth and eleventh works were published at the same time, so I wasn’t sure where to write about this. My next goal is for one of my series to hit ten volumes, I guess? Hmm.

> To be honest, this volume was a struggle to write due to scheduling issues. Back in the spring, I received the great news from my editor that Volume 6 had been greenlit, and I was asked if I could make a November deadline. However, I already had deadlines for Volume 5 of Management of a Novice Alchemist as well as the first volume of my new work Custom Orders from a Grimoire Workshop . And there was another item on my to-do list: the anime adaptation of Management of a Novice Alchemist . I begged my editor for mercy; I said it would be a bit too much for me to work on three different volumes in parallel and asked that the publication date of Volume 6 of Land Mines be pushed back so I could have a more relaxed writing schedule.

> However, I ended up deleting about half of what I initially wrote because none of it felt right to me. I had to start over from the beginning at the same time that I was dealing with all sorts of other business, so I was very busy. I’m usually the type of writer who finishes a book with plenty of leeway, so it was actually my first experience of feeling hounded by deadlines. Volume 6 also happens to be the longest volume I’ve written so far. It has fewer pages than Volume 1, but there are about fifteen percent more words. That being the case, you, the reader, will get more out of this volume than usual. Hopefully, that is.

> There should be some wonderful and sexy illustrations in this volume as well. As of writing this afterword, I haven’t seen them myself, so I don’t know exactly what they look like, but I’m looking forward to seeing your art, Nekobyou Neko-san!

> Now, then, I’d like to cap things off by following up on the blatant advertising that I wrote earlier in the afterword. An anime adaptation has been announced for one of my other works, Management of a Novice Alchemist . I’m quite surprised by this myself. It’s scheduled to air in 2022, so please look forward to it. The first volume of a manga adaptation, with art by kirero-san, is also being published. On top of that, my new work, Custom Orders of a Grimoire Workshop , is being published by Fujimi Fantasia Bunko, and I’d really appreciate it if you checked that out as well. It has fantastic cover art by Nimoshi-san, so it’s very easy to spot! Last but not least, thank you all for your continued support of my works, and I hope we’ll meet again.
