Afterword

I’ve kept you waiting. Ebisu Seijihere. Thank you very much for reading volume 9 of ‘Ore Ga Suki NanoWa Imouto Dakedo Imouto Janai’. For the people who have decided toread this afterword first, please read it carefully. Thank you verymuch.

Now then, in this volume, Yuu finallyreached his turning point that had teased since the 8th volume. Withthis, it truly feels like we’re nearing the climax, and not justfrom the reader’s standpoint, but also as the author. Change didn’tjust befall the Nagami siblings, but also Mai, who’s had a crucialrole this time around. I would be delighted if you enjoyed it. Also,we have Yuu, who has made his decision. Now, what will happen withhim and Suzuka—I would be very much delighted if my dear readerswould support the series as fiercely as ever.

Now, to leave the topic of the mainseries here, I decided to change this afterword up a bit and give ashort introduction to the author himself: Ebisu Seiji.

“Why did you decide that sosuddenly?” “No no, if you have the time for that, work on thenext manuscript man,” you might be thinking, and I hear you.However, there are some important circumstances this time around…After all, I have to write a 5-page afterword this time. Yes yes,before you complain, let me tell you that I have really beenstruggling with this. I mean, I’ve been bad at writing afterwordssince the very beginning. Or rather, it’s not like I have problemswith it, I just never know what to write.

About the main series. About what comesnext. Anything that might be slightly interesting… There areseveral things, but they won’t take me to five pages…

I’m sure that other more skilledauthors would be able to quickly whip up an interesting story to fillthe pages, but as for myself, I can’t, so I can only fall back todoing a short self-introduction here, so please bear with me. SinceI’ve never written one of these kinds of short introductions insidethe novels themselves (on the cover), so this might be the perfectchance to establish a profile of mine at least somewhere, right? Fornow, I’ll give you some general information about myself.

About my taste in food… I can mostlyeat anything. Phew this kind of feels like a big minus in terms ofmaking me look special, but that’s just how it is. I’m not reallya picky eater, and I can eat anything aside from strangecombinations. If I had to pick a favourite kind of food, it’d beseafood, like shellfish, shrimp, lobsters, and the like. The onlything I’m really bad with is fatty meat.

My favorite season is winter. I have alot of trouble falling asleep at times, so when I can snuggle into myblanket during the cold winter days, I can fall asleep very quickly.

Concerning my taste in music, I don’treally have a preference. I listen to classic, anime songs, westernmusic, and even BGM from games I play.

I guess my hobby could be playing gamesin between my job. I don’t know if I really deserve to call myselfa gamer, but when I was a kid, I spent a lot of time playing games,and I still do now. Looking at how I’m doing right now, I thinkI’ll probably continue to play them. In my opinion, there’s threetypes of gamers out there (according to me, at least).

The first is the one-console gamer whoshares it with everyone in the house..

The second kind of person is the mobilegamer, and there’s been quite an increase in the number of these inrecent years.

Finally, the third is the normal PCgamer.

At first I belonged to the first group,born and raised, but now I’ve completely turned into the PC type.Ever since really getting into MMORPGs back during my student times,I’ve continued to play games on the PC. I do sometimes use gameconsoles, yes, but the PC is still the main part of my gaming.Naturally, all this talk might make me sound like some hardcoregamer, but rest assured, my skill at playing games has certainly notimproved over time, and even newcomers can quickly surpass me in anygame…

This already concludes my shortself-introduction. Again, I’m really sorry that you had to put upwith this. Writing afterwords is really difficult… But anyway, it’stime for the real last part of the afterword: The thanks.

This time around, my dear illustratorGintarou-san has drawn wonderful illustrations as always, and thedrawing of Suzuka on this volume’s cover is beautifully done.Including him, my dear people from the editorial department,printing, publishing, and all the other people involved in thedistribution of this novel, as well as everyone who has picked up yetanother of my works, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Here’s to hoping that we’ll soonget to see each other again—

The 18th of July, 2019. Ebisu Seiji
