Chapter 9 postscript

This work is composed of two short stories and one long story, and the first one "Put a Crimson Rose on the Wedding Dress" was originally published in the science fiction magazine "SFアドベンチャ一" in Tokuma Shoten in 1987 It was published in June of 2008. After asking Mr. Tanaka, I learned that this article had actually been completed as early as 1985. At that time, it was originally entrusted by SFIZUM (currently Miki Study) to publish the works written in the FS magazine "SFIZUM". Unfortunately, "SFIZUM" magazine was unfortunately closed when Mr. Tanaka handed over the original manuscript. This work will be published on "SFA アドベンチャャ" one year later.

After that, with the addition of follow-up stories, it became one of the novels published by Tokuma Shoten in April 1989, and the library was adapted in October 1994. If it is an ordinary work In other words, it should have already reached the end, but by chance, this work was included in the Shueisha library again in June 1998. I believe this is enough to be called a special case. For this time it can become a part of the Shueisha SuperDash library. Members are even more honored. I forgot to introduce myself just now. My name is Adachi, and I am currently serving as the secretary of Mr. Yoshiki Tanaka. This time, I am greeting all readers for the library version of this book according to the instructions of the M editor of the Shueisha SuperDash library.

After the previous narration, readers of this article must be very clear about the fact that this work has been published many times, so when the editor-in-chief M proposed a republishing proposal, we once rejected it once, but the editor-in-chief M is famous for his perseverance in the industry. But the trump card has already been prepared. That is, Mr. Hiroshin Okazaki will write the sequel. Mr. Okazaki is a rising star who won the Grand Prize in the 4th SuperDash Newcomer Award. In his award-winning work "その仮面をはずして", he successfully described the fusion of daily life and non-daily life. In Another World, his writing performance has been highly praised.

For this sudden proposal, Mr. Yoshiki Tanaka and the members of our office could hardly conceal the hesitation in their hearts. At this moment, the editor-in-chief of M personally brought an amazing item that could give everyone a fatal blow, that is Mr. Okazaki made the "full hand-written copybook" for the Shueisha Bunko edition. If you look carefully, there is no slight error in the number of words in each line and page. Anyone who volunteers to be a writer must have heard of the method of "copying down favorite works with your own hands". When we saw the example for the first time, we were still speechless. Just a few days later The manuscript sent by Mr. Okazaki made us clearly understand that this is a correct method of cultivation. For readers who aspire to become writers, this kind of cultivation does have its effect.

After seeing Mr. Okazaki's determination, we are convinced that "you can entrust him with peace of mind". As for the result, please readers slowly confirm in "Put the Crimson Rose on the Gemini in the Night Sky" released at the same time as this work Bar. Regarding this reprint, after re-reading it with the editor-in-chief M, I found that it is indeed a work of the "Showa" era. KGB, "end of the century" and other words that do not conform to modern times appear constantly. Partial revisions were made on the premise of hindering the development of the story. I am personally very surprised that this work of more than 20 years can be republished with just a single word modification. It is difficult to judge whether it is Mr. Tanaka who has a good eye, or Is the society we live in not progressing at all?

By the way, I learned in the middle of the revision homework that the number of patients with Japanese encephalitis has decreased rapidly since the writing of this book, and it seems to have completely disappeared now. It must be the result of the efforts of people who are committed to fighting infectious diseases. I My heartfelt respect here. It was mentioned at the beginning that this work was originally intended to be published in the form of a short story, but at the beginning of its publication, Mr. "Devil Coach" Mr. S suggested, "Even if it is a short story serialized in a magazine, it must be completely created. The world, expecting to be able to write long or serialized short stories at any time", so we also follow the advice of Mr. S.

In other words, bath towels must be prepared regardless of whether they are used or not. This is probably the case. Mr. Okazaki borrowed the prepared bath towels to be very active this time. It is too old, and it may be a bit awkward to use, but the material is impeccable, so please use it with peace of mind. Finally, just like those who support Mr. Tanaka Yoshiki, I hope that all readers will continue to support the sequel of Mr. Okazaki's book - "Put Crimson Roses on Gemini in the Night Sky". Readers, please continue to support this series of works in the future.
