● First, a word to the readers. ■ Nice to meet you, or long time no see. This is Non from Nuebako. Thank you very much for picking up this book. ● It's just "Part 1", though...? ■ Yes, I got carried away, so it'll be a two-parter. Part 2 will come out next time. ● Isn't this getting out of hand? ■ I'm sorry. I want to do the second half with a clear mind. ● Your designs change as the pages go on, don't you think? ■ People grow day by day. ● Wonder what'll happen to Cirno from here...? ■ She'll go crazy. Just kidding, she'll get strong. ● Please, send a message to everyone with us. ■ This ended terribly halfway through, but I want to do my best and wrap it up in the second half, so please don't abandon it (?). Thank you to Enomoto-san, Togashi-san, Nooman-san and Yayako-san for checking my storyboard and text, to Bisha-san for advice with the cover, as well ZUN and everyone else.

Also, a huge influence on this book (no, more like the thing that made me want to write it) was "The Idiot's Grave", and when I asked the author Hamusuta-san's permission, they said it was definitely OK. Many thanks! TN: "The Idiot's Grave" is a Japanese-language fanfic Well then, see you again at Winter Comiket or Reitaisai or something! (Sloppy, huh...)

● Remi's ability doesn't work that way, does it? ■ I mean, it's more that nobody's interpreted it this way.
