My Vampire Older Sister and Zombie Little Sister - Book 6: Chapter 11: Afterword

Afterword

That was Volume 6 of Vampire/Zombie.

This is Kamachi Kazuma.

Instead of focusing on a specific Archenemy, I placed the focus on Satori, the protagonist, and Maxwell, the disaster environment simulator he built. So the battlefield was much more horror focused than before.

I also directly addressed the secret at the bottom of the dam that was left a mystery in Volume 1, so we finally entered Absolute Noah itself.

The issues with Satori’s two moms were mostly addressed in Volume 3, but his father appeared as a major pillar of support in this one. Taori and Yurina were extraordinary in a physical sense, so I kept him more intellectual while still showing off his individuality. You see supercomputers and big data mentioned everywhere these days, but there must be a lot we still don’t know about the human mind. By showing an intelligence different from Satori’s computer-reliant variety, I hinted at a theme of “what is intelligence?” I just hope people and machines can find their own unique niches.

I give my thanks to the image illustrator Mahaya-san and my editors Miki-san, Anan-san, and Onodera-san. This was a horror novel that focused on the situations rather than the characters, but I think the roughs and illustrations help a lot to let the characters shine within that. Thank you very much yet again.

And I give my thanks to the readers. It is not that Satori is amazing. Maxwell, who Satori created, is amazing, so Satori is also amazing. That is a somewhat odd point to make, but how did you like it? It’s not quite the same structure as Blood-Sign where the protagonist is amazing because he is the only person recognized by the biggest and baddest enemy, but I hope you could accept this way of enjoying it.

And I will end this here.

Have we gotten used to the “location” of Kukyou City yet?
