Volume 8 afterword

Thank you very much for reading the eighth volume of 『Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu』.
Sorry for making you all wait for so long, this is the author Murasaki Yukiya.
In this volume, Krum and Edelgart play a very active part after such a long time. Since I plan on having them play an even more active part in the next volume, I am looking forward to it.
And then, the Master Swordsman whose setting was the only thing that had been there since long ago has finally made her appearance. Although she was not a visitor from another world, she was made to be an existence given paranormal abilities.
In the next volume, it seems like she will be grouped together with Rose as the vanguard but……well now, how will their compatibility be?
Please expect much from the activities of the leveled up Diablo.
Having no leeway in the number of pages to put in a short story this time as well, I might have no choice but to make a collection of short stories at this point……is how I feel. I will do my best.
Volume 9 will be the climax of the Great Demon King arc! The publication will be within the year! (That is the plan)
This is some advertisement──The comicalization by means of Fukuda Naoto-sensei is going swimmingly. The fifth volume will be published on the 9th of the same month as this book. The serialization is in the WEB manga Niconico Seiga 『Wednesday Series』.
『The 14 Year Old and the Illustrator』 (MF Bunko J) that Illustrator Mizoguchi Cage-sensei is also designing is in the middle of publication. It is a comedy about the work of a popular illustrator and a 14-year-old heroine.
The long running war chronicle of 『Altina the Sword Princess』, and the novelization of the strategy game 『The Millenium War, The White Empire Arc』 (Famitsuu Bunko) are in the middle of publication. Please treat all of them well!
Thanks──
Tsurusaki Takahiro-sensei, if I had written it just as you had roused it up to be, I feel like Krum's scene would have turned into something incredible! Thank you very much for your wonderful illustrations!
Designer from Afterglow, Ooishi-sama, thank you very much this time as well.
Shouji-sama who is in charge of editing, the birthday event the other day was a great success wasn't it. Let me say it once again, congratulations!
Everyone of the Kodansha Lightnovel Bunko Editorial Department and people of the staff. Family and friends that gave me support.
And then, I give my highest level of gratitude to the dear readers that read this. Thank you very much!
Murasaki Yukiya
