Ch.BONUSAfterword.

Hello. This is the Citizen Protection Mobile Unit.

When I first wrote this novel, it feels like just yesterday that I wondered if 2024 would ever come, but now 2024 is already here.

I would like to express my gratitude once again to all of you who read my novel, which began on August 15, 2023, and ended on January 12, 2024.

Thanks to you, I was able to become a better writer, and with the experience gained from this work, I will show you an even better side of me in my next work.

For 177 chapters—short if you call it short, long if you call it long—it was truly a joy to be your writer and meet your expectations. I gained strength to live each day by waking up at dawn, half-asleep, opening my notifications, and reading the comments you left.

Seeing readers discuss the world I created, seeing you moved by the narrative I wrote—these became invaluable experiences and a way of life for me.

Thank you for everything until now.

Sincerely, Citizen Protection Mobile Unit.
