Volume 2, Afterword

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“The cherry blossoms have bloomed, so please take some time off.” Every year, I hear such foolish statements and respond with things like, “Ah, where should I go this year?”

For most of you, this is probably our first time meeting. I’m CHIROLU, and I’d like to sincerely thank you for picking up this work, the second volume of If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord.

Sometimes, I want to go somewhere far away. I want to see both places I’ve been to over and over again and also sights I’ve never seen before. My objectives have become polarized like that, but still, it’s become something of my life’s work to visit all the places famous for cherry-blossom viewing.

I was born and raised in the Kanto region, so each year I’ve been able to enjoy a variety of spots famous for cherry blossoms from the time they bloom until they’re all blown away. Perhaps that was what started it all.

Selfishly, I’ve idly wandered to Tohoku to see its famous cherry blossoms. That didn’t really surprise the people around me, though. They just cared enough to say things like, “It’d be tough to make a day trip of it,” or “I wouldn’t want to ride a bus through the night several days in a row.”

My parents are the sort who hate crowds, so for family vacations when I was young, we stuck to walks through picturesque scenery rather than going to places like amusement parks. To avoid the crowds, we’d leave at three in the morning, so we’d arrive just after the sun rose, making for a rigorous schedule. But the sight of the sunlight filtering through the morning mist in a forest, and the feel of stepping on frost in the wetlands, and the force of a waterfall overflowing from the downpour the day before... that remains with me even now. I sit in front of my computer and smartphone, wondering if I managed to capture even a fragment of that scenery from my memories.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this book a reality. Though it was a flurry of events that led here, you truly drew an adorable “daughter,” Kei. And more than anything else, to those of you who chose this book out of so many options, you have my deepest gratitude.

As long as this book brought you at least a little joy, then I’ll feel truly blessed.

And let me end this by saying, I pray that you’re able to start drawing again even a day sooner, Truffle.
