It's been over two years, but were you looking forward to this? Two years feels like such a long time, but also a short one. It's been a while since I participated in an event, either, so I feel both excited and anxious and kind of panicky. Deep breaths...

Afterword

Umm, let's see... This time's story was unusually from Reimu's point of view. There's actually a meaning behind that. I'm going to figure out what that is, so just give me a moment. Also, well... ReiMari cute. That feeling hasn't changed in these two years. That's why I put out this book, after all. Simple as that. If anything, I think I like it even more than before, so maybe something has changed after all. I'm writing this in a hurry right before the deadline, so I'm probably going to look back at this and regret it later... But, well, that's just part of the fun.

Right, sorry for rambling on. See ya.

Every time, up until I start writing the afterword, I have all kinds of things on my mind that I want to write. But when the time actually comes, I've got nothing. Anyway: Hello, long time no see. First-time readers, nice to meet you. This is Ikki of Beta Carotene. This is my first new release since December 2015. I feel like I've forgotten how to draw, not to mention how to make a book. (I just remembered that page numbers exist, and now I'm scared.)
