Greetings, Yanokura here! ( ◎ Д ◎) Thank you for picking up this book. We're in the season where pear-flavored Garigari-kun ice cream tastes really great. Continuing from last time, it's an AkyuSuzu backstory book. I feel like I put plenty of AkyuSuzu cackling into it. Ever since I heard that the Gensokyo Chronicles were printed at Suzunaan, this sort of start for their romance came to my mind. Then I started wondering how incidents must look to normal side characters, or how the Chronicles were seen before they were popularized. Those thoughts led me to this story. Next up - and this is not final, not final - I think I'll do AkyuSuzu, OrinKuu, Ran, or someone I haven't drawn at all. Now then, until next time. Hope we can meet somewhere.
