Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance Volume 15, Afterword

Volu 15, Afterword

—You're thinking too much like a dragon!

Shimizu here. To readers who are holding this book, I am truly grateful.

Let present to you the 15th installnt of Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance, "The Dragon King of Dracunia."

Infiltrating the imperial capital to rescue Fianna, Kamito was blocked by Greyworth who had recovered her appearance as a young girl. With Kamito helpless in the face of her overwhelming power, it was at that mont when Leonora the dragon knight of Dracunia showed up—

That's how Leonora entered the stage again because there have been no opportunities since the Blade Dance. Leonora is really quite a dragon, carnivorous in all kinds of ways. Also, in this volu, the Dragon Duchy of Dracunia that has been shrouded in mystery has finally lifted its veil. The truth about the Dragon King ruling over the Dragon Duchy of Dracunia turns out to be—!?

As for acknowledgents, again, I am truly thankful to Nimura Yuuji-sensei for his magnificent illustrations. Leonora's "not wearing any" picture on the cover is really too aweso. (The bare legs version appearing on the frontispiece was due to the my insistence as the author!) There is also the illustration of the new character, the Dragon King, which truly surpassed my imagination.

Then there is Hyouju Issei-sensei's manga serialization. Every ti, it is drawn to such high standards, I am honestly extrely grateful. The latest Volu 5 will be released in February so I do hope that everyone could check it out if they have a chance. The battle between Kamito and Jio Inzagi is honestly very hot-blooded.

Editor in charge, S-sama, sorry for causing trouble for you on the schedule side. Thank you so much for supporting every ti.

Now about recent events. At this stage, I've written a collaborative scenario for SEGA's smartphone ga, Chain Chronicle. It cos with original characters as freebies, so interested gars, please try it out.

As for the customary popularity poll, according to Volu 14's survey, Restia and Est occupied the number one and number two spots respectively, separated by an extrely small gap. Fianna was third. From the letters and comnts in the survey responses, I can tell that everyone is reading the story very seriously. I truly cannot express my endless gratitude enough to everyone who has supported so far.

—Well then, next cos the Theocracy episode where we will start tying up dangling plot threads.

Let us et again with Volu 16, "The Demon King Returns in Triumph (Tentative)"!
