Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatte Iru Darou ka - Volume 6 Chapter 7 Afterword

A dungeon fantasy story that never once ventures into a dungeon: that’s book six. I suspect this pattern will
continue for the next few volumes…However, you can visit the Dungeon many times in the spin-off!
Please excuse the self-promotion. If you’re interested, have a look.
I’m particularly fond of stories where the characters increase one by one.
The main character’s journey is a solitary one until he or she meets a healer, then a beautiful and
mysterious fortune-teller, then adds a young mage as the fourth member…I get excited when a new ally
joins the fight in manga, novels, and of course video games. Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment
after assembling a well-balanced party.
At the same time, the early stages where very few characters must face difficult odds to build their
relationships is one of the most important, and in my opinion the most entertaining, parts of the story. I
took my time in developing this part of my own work in books one through five, sacrificing larger story
arcs in the process. Back when I first started writing the stories, I don’t know how many times I heard the
phrase “Wouldn’t it be a good idea to increase the party size?” I would like to thank everyone who
worked with me for listening to my selfish desires and allowed me to take my time in developing each
character in turn. You have my gratitude.
Gods, family, and Familia all came together to form the backbone of the story. As soon as the idea for
a “War Game between the Gods” came to me, the story for this book fell into place with support from
loyal readers. I can’t thank you enough.
I would also like to recognize my adviser Mr. Kotaki for providing me with inspiration and guidance
throughout this project; Mr. Suzuhito Yasuda, for producing beautiful artwork equal to or exceeding the
magnificent designs from earlier installments; as well as every other person involved in this project.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Also, I would like to thank all of the guest artists who came together to produce the limited-edition art
book that was released along with this volume. NOCO, Ms. Haruko Iizuka, Mr. Eiji Usatsuka, Mr. Noboru
Kannadu, Mr. Ki Takaya, Mikeo, YASU: thank you for lending your talents and individual vision to this
project. Each of you deserves great praise for your marvelous drawings.
I cannot wait to pick up my pen and start in on the next volume. Now then, I will take my leave.
