Chapter 414: Postscript/Afterword
Chapter 414: Postscript/Afterword
It's become quite a warm season, hasn't it? This is Shogo Kinugasa.
I think people sometimes awaken various interests and hobbies. A little while ago, I started cooking, and to make my dishes more delicious, I've been expanding my repertoire and tirelessly experimenting. I even got carried away and bought my own personal knife. I didn't have any hobbies other than watching baseball before.
I was impressed that I could still acquire a new hobby at this age, but in the meantime, another change occurred in my hobbies...
To keep up with my child's growth, I had to buy bigger blocks and stuffed toys, which inevitably led to more frequent visits to toy stores. Unexpectedly, I developed an interest in Plarail trains. I didn't know anything about trains, but I thought, "Huh? It's actually surprisingly fun just to move them around?" That became a reason to buy more toys, collect rails, create original courses, run trains in parallel, and buy remote-controlled trains... I also became interested in Mini 4WD, Nerf, and board games... It's no good. There are too many things that caught my attention.
The toys were supposed to be bought only for my child's sake, but at some point, I started buying them for my own enjoyment.
My latest favorite is a toy called Bottleman, which launches bottle caps. The memory of being totally into a toy called Beadaman (the predecessor of Bottleman?) in the past resurfaced, and I started collecting them. Although I'm more of a minimalist and didn't have much of a collecting habit, I never thought it would come to this... But I wonder if the reason I think Beadaman was overwhelmingly more interesting is because I've grown up now.
Personally, I want to try out Lego, which I admired when I was little, but I can't take the final step to buy it, fearing that I'll really be hooked if I do.
Someone stop me! (Or give me a push!)
Okay. Let me talk a little about the current status of my work.
Finally, the second term and winter break are ending, and from the next volume, we will be entering the third term arc.
Unlike the somewhat lengthy second term, I expect the third term to be about the same length as the first-year third term arc, or perhaps just a little shorter.
Well everyone, during this hot season, please be careful of heatstroke and such.
Let us meet again when it starts to cool down.
Royal MTLs Afterword
Hey there, it's Cast again. Thank you all for reading the volume from us and making it this far. The team put in a great amount of effort to make this the most high quality and accurate volume RoyalMTLs has ever produced so make sure to show them your appreciation. Thanks a lot you guys.
Moving onto the actual volume, it looks like this volume had a decent amount of setup leading into the next term which I'm really excited about. Really loved the scene with Kiryūin and Kiyo a lot too, and learning a little bit more about her. All in all, I thought this was a really good volume before starting the third term, and I had a lot of fun translating it. Seems like this final term will also be the same, if not shorter than the first year third term. Year 3 is creeping up on us!!!
As always, a big shout out to Shogo Kinugasa (the author) for writing this novel in the first place, please do support him by buying one of the official copies of Classroom of The Elite somewhere down the line.
