Incubus Banishment - Vol 2 Epilogue

Epilogue
――There was a shadow running deep underground where monsters were clamoring.

The shadow wasn’t stopped by anything or even being noticed as it advanced through the darkness.

The shadow whispered inside that solitude.

.

「――Just a bit more until I can slaughter everyone in Sankrid.」

.

The shadow sported a joyful smile that came from the bottom of their heart. And then it kept advancing even deeper into the darkness without hesitation.

They were burning with the dark flame that was lit inside their chest the whole time.

.

Afterword
Hello, long time no see, this is Dragon Tanishi aka Akagi Hirotaka.

What do you think about Incubus Banishment volume two?

At the first edition I always asked things like 「Can you follow this idea?」. The catchphrase make it sounds as though normally you can’t keep up with the idea. I wonder why. Even though the main character is only fighting with his penis a little…….

And so this is the second volume, but actually my spontaneity when writing from around her has increased compared to volume 1. Some of the developments that I thought of came from improvisation based on the reaction of the readers too.

The greatest example of that is Carry Penipeni-chan.

Originally this girl was a character that I made with a mood of 「I got an idea for a character with this kind of name」 just for a single appearance. And so actually her turn should have ended with just 「Getting released from the job of transporting penis」 but, for some reason she got really popular. Because of that too her appearance increased for various things, like carrying the main characters to the dungeon city. It will be a spoiler for readers who only read the LN but, she will make unexpected contribution at volume 3 too and I myself as the author quite enjoyed her existence.

A certain famous mangaka left behind the words 「Serialization is Wonderland」, but after I myself actually try writing a story in serialization format, I’m shocked that there’re really a lot of Wonderland things.

Incubus Banishment was my first time writing novel in serialization format, and it often made me thought that it’s really different from writing on commission.

The biggest difference is how the readers’ reaction came not every single volume, but for every single chapter. There are the comments, or the view number.

And so sometimes I needed to revise the story midway and it was easier for unexpected idea to come out. Writing was extremely fun when I could update the story chapter by chapter.

Well, so what I want to say is that whether it’s the serialization version at Kakuyomu or the publicized version, I’m really thankful for all the comments!

Thanks for everyone’s support Incubus Banishment volume 1 also got reprinted and comicalization. The good things just kept coming that I could feel the support for real once more.

Because of that too I want to keep pushing fast with the WN too at the same time with the LN’s publication but……currently I’m getting a little, or rather very ill so it’s hard for me to update the WN.

But, I’m creating the general framework while also writing when possible so, I hope that the WN readers can patiently wait for the update.

.

Then now, for thanks.

I’ve been saying this every time but, I’m greatly indebted to everyone who is involved in the publication of this work that is just a step (?) away from being R-18. It’s thanks to everyone that I can make this work into something that is just barely for all ages.

Next is kakao-sama who continued to draw wonderful illustrations since volume 1. There is Sister Claire and Stacy in this volume, I can’t thank you enough for drawing them with loveliness that far surpassed my imagination (There is also the subtly idiot girl Penipeni!). The wonderful illustrations make me want to finish writing volume 3 and the rest quickly! My motivation is bursting. I’m really really thankful to you.

.

Now then, does everyone manage to enjoy Incubus Banishment volume 2?

The WN update will depend on my condition but, the favorable reception there will at the very least make me want to continue delivering the LN version as quickly as possible……! I also want to see the lewd illustrations more!

And so I hope I’ll be able to meet everyone again in my next works, especially with Incubus Banishment.
