Afterword My deepest apologies (and greetings) to the 350 million Kasen-chan fans of all countries, as well as the people of Planet Europe 5 trillion 90 million light years from here. Hello. I'm Hikawa Shou, who drew this considerably stupid manga. But come on, AoCF! The person drawing this is very ill and thinks that everything happening in Gensokyo has to be connected to Aya-chan.

Speaking of illness, my neck started to hurt right in the middle of drawing this, so badly I almost couldn't finish. The pain made me toss around in bed, unable to get any sleep at night. It was hell. Frankly, I thought it'd haunt me for the rest of my life if the pain stopped me from finish this manuscript, but when I went to the hospital, it turned out to be just a dislocated joint, so that's fine (it wasn't fine, but I'd already suspected cervical hernia or something, so it was still way better than that. At least it made me value my health more.)

I think I'm alright, but despite publishing this book, I was unable to come to Reitaisai myself. Please blame my neck for it. My brain doing it is just normal, so try to overlook it. Well then, I'm in a hurry here, so I should wrap up here. Sorry, Kasen-chan!
