To you who have followed along in order from the very first volume: Welcome back.
To you who read all 20 volumes together at once: Welcome.
This is Kamachi Kazuma.
Finally, the 20th book! And this completes the British Royal Family arc!! This afterword will discuss content from both Volumes 17 & 18! What did you think of this story about the legendary British blade of Curtana? With a certain mercenary’s appearance in Volume 17, the word “knight” was quite prominent, but Volume 18 focused more on the word “queen”. By the way, the Curtana does exist, so make sure to check that out. It is used in the coronation of the British monarch even today.
I feel that the queen in this story, Elizard, is the ideal leader. She is the perfect queen who possesses the strong points of First Princess Rimea, Second Princess Carissa, and Third Princess Villian. In the story, the queen wonders why her daughters are all at such extremes, but she was only able to say that because she possesses what the three have in perfect balance. The princesses may strongly resemble something from a picture book or a fairy tale. Brave Third Princess Villian who was oppressed by her sisters is especially like the stereotypical heroine from a picture book.
Other than the royal family, there were glimpses of where Silvia, who appeared in SS2, fits into the story and the magic cabal boss who appeared on the pages of Dengeki Bunko Magazine also made an appearance here. If you have time, make sure to check those out.
My thanks go out to my illustrator, Haimura-san, and my editor, Miki-san. It must have been tough to go through all those difficult battle scenes, so I am truly thankful.
And I also give my thanks to the readers. It is thanks to your support that the protagonist Kamijou Touma was able to make it through 20 volumes. Make sure to stay with him in the future, too.
Now it is time to close the pages for now while praying that the pages of the next book will be opened.
And I lay my pen down for now.
There are multiple types of beast maid outfits in this world.
