To make matters worse, a government starts to crumble, falling on the cusp of a military coup! Can Touya and his ever-growing band of adventurers stand against the combined forces of chaotic fate?

## Afterword

Hello again, it’s me. Patora Fuyuhara.
Well, we’ve finally gotten around to releasing the fourth volume. Did you like it? In this volume, Touya technically became a sovereign ruler, but I don’t think that should change up the adventuring formula that much. He’ll carry on with his friends, just like he always has.

One of the things you should look forward to is the kind of things that’ll happen in Brunhild. Naturally, it won’t just be a quiet country that sits there and does nothing, oh no. The surrounding countries will get involved, there’ll be riots, explosions, all the good stuff. As you may have been able to tell, Moon Reader was based on the general idea of a manga cafe.

I used to work in one of those places, so I had some pretty fond memories as I wrote that section. I never expected the experience there to come in handy while I was writing, but here we are. In all honesty, I wish I had the [Paralysis] spell, since it would’ve made dealing with shoplifters a lot more convenient. Although it was a good job, I never really made use of the services because it was hard for me to feel settled there. I’m the kind of person who can only really settle down with a book he bought and took home. Honestly, my idea of how those venues work might be a little outdated. I only worked at one a long time ago and haven’t visited one since...

But that aside, here are my special thanks. Eiji Usatsuka, your illustrations are as wonderful as ever. Thank you for so lovingly rendering the new characters that appeared in this volume. Your rendition of Lu is absolutely wonderful. She’s truly adorable. K, as always, thank you so much for what you’ve done for me. Please stay in good health, and I look forward to working together even more from now on. To everyone at Hobby Japan’s editorial department, it’s all thanks to you that we’ve reached four volumes. Thank you so very much.

And once again, to all of those who supported me on “Shousetsuka ni Narou,” you have my deepest gratitude.

- Patora Fuyuhara
