Afterword
It has been a long time. I am Ryo Yuki.
It took quite a while before I could greet you all like this again, but thank you so much for picking up Volume 4!
I was truly happy to have the chance to address everyone once more.
As you have seen, Volume 4 began with life at the Academy, the primary setting for the Legend of the Seven Heroes.
Ren immediately joined the executive committee at Chronoa’s request, though it seemed a peaceful life was never in the cards for him.
As Ren himself noted in his dialogue, perhaps that is simply the nature of their lives.
However, even after passing through the summer of their first year, many more stories lie in wait.
With that said, I have an immediate announcement to make this time as well————
Reincarnated as the Mastermind of the Story 5
I previously shared the news on X (formerly Twitter) and other platforms, but the release of Volume 5 has been officially decided!
Thank you all so much for your continued support!
The upcoming volume will focus primarily on the story in Eupeheim.
As it is Fiona’s hometown, there will be plenty of events featuring her and Ren.
From the courage she found in her pursuit of romance to Ren’s latest exploits... I am working diligently on the production, including tens of thousands of words of new material, to bring this story to you.
Looking back at Volume 1, I realize Ren’s story has come a long way now that we have reached Volume 5.
But the journey is far from over, and I hope you will look forward to the developments ahead!
I will share more details regarding the release date and other specifics once things have progressed a bit further.
I also provide updates on X periodically, so please feel free to take a look if you are interested!
————With only a few pages remaining, I would like to offer my sincere thanks.
Once again, Nakamura-sensei provided a collection of wonderful illustrations that beautifully colored many of the scenes!
I still remember the fresh wave of emotion I felt when I first saw the cover art.
I was deeply grateful for the charming depictions of Ren and his companions in Volume 4. Each new illustration brought me such joy!
I also wish to thank my editors for their continued guidance. I look forward to working with you on the next volume...!
Additionally, Volume 4 featured new character introduction pages and map pages. My thanks go to the designers and illustrators who provided those wonderful drawings.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who worked so hard to deliver this book to our readers.
And once more, to everyone who has always supported me.
Thank you for your consistently kind words and encouragement! I will give my all to the next volume, so please continue to support the series!
Now then, until we meet again in the story unfolding in Eupeheim.
May we continue this journey together in the chapters to come————!
