Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance Volume 18, Afterword

Volu 18, Afterword

—To , the Academy is a very precious place.

Hello everyone, this is Shimizu. Thank you for your patience.

I hereby present to you all, Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance Volu 18, Retaking the Imperial Capital.

The Holy Kingdom's guest general, Lurie, used a spirit detonation to cause the Demon King's Tomb to collapse. Caught in the explosion, Kamito was rescued by the unidentified rchant Safian whom Kamito had t in the Demon King City. He had revealed his true identity to Kamito and told him the truth of the Demon King's Coffin. With the thousand-year-old seal released, what had awakened was—

This was how the first half of Volu 18 ended the Demon King City arc of Volu 17. The second half is about the story after returning to the Theocracy. With the appearance of the one who doesn't wear panties and the one who had gone missing, it feels like the plot is entering a climax... Kamito's group, in exile from Ordesia since Volu 14, finally returns to Areishia Spirit Academy after traveling to various places including Dracunia, the Theocracy and the Demon King City. Will Kamito and the noble young ladies of Team Scarlet ever return to the ordinary daily life they used to live?

Next cos acknowledgnts. Shisaba Kohata-sensei, who has drawn beautiful illustrations since Volu 17, thank you very much. Restia-sama on the cover is too beautiful... The princess maiden of water version of Rinslet in the color illustrations is also amazing. As for the princess maiden of fire outfits worn by Rubia and Ren Ashbell, the design is different because different Elental Lords have different preferences. *As a side note, the princess maiden of wind ritual attire is so erotic that Ellis does not wish to wear it.

Editor-sensei, sorry for causing you all kinds of trouble again. I will do my very best to produce the most aweso ending. Please continue to support !

And so, we finally reach Volu 19 next ti. Let us et again with The Darkness Elental Lord. At the sa ti, look forward to more news about the audio drama!

Illustrator's Afterword

Hello, I am Shisaba Kohada.

Volu 18, the climax approaches! This is my second volu ever since I took over illustrations starting from the previous volu.

There are many characters in Volu 18 that I'm drawing for the first ti. In order to grasp the characters, I had to read the previous volus again and again, trying my best to do a faithful rendition of every detail. I hope I will et the expectations of every Blade Dance fan.

I will continue to do my best for the next two volus~
