Author Notes[]
This time's cover illustration is Emma and her friends looking up at the starry sky!
Since the characters are the same as those in the first novel, I wanted to depict them in a way that shows their growth.
There are many favorite stories, such as that story and this story. The fourth novel version of various stories is a book like a treasure chest.
Precious memories packed into a treasure box. Whether you're watching it for the first time or it's been a long time, please come and enjoy these memorable films one by one, one episode at a time, one at a time. Please enjoy the view. The destructive power of the newly written parts is also amazing...!
However, they are still in the prime of their growth period, and I'm sure they will grow even more in the future.
Even though I feel a little lonely every day after the manga series ended, it's great to have Nanao-sensei's novels!
Everyone, please enjoy!
