Rental Magica Volume 1: Author's Word

Author’s Word

I can’t forget that night in July. It was when I received the draft for <Rental Magica>, because I fell asleep ecstatic about the beautiful drawings. Then when I opened my eyes, my body…

“Ca-can’t move? I can’t even move a finger!”

This was the first time I had this experience of a ‘supernatural’ case of being pressed down by a phenomenal nature. I couldn’t help but laugh sinisterly. There is a saying: Writers of horror stories and games will encounter phenomenal activities. Doesn’t this mean that <Rental Magica> will definitely succeed!

But the situation was a little strange. How do I say this, there was an odd feeling from my abdomen…

…This…Unless…It couldn’t be… I was only hungry…

Eh, this mean that, I forgot to eat because I was eagerly researching.

Although this volume of <Rental Magica> is about a President who has just entered high school and his companions who are magicians, but because this work has used many magical systems, so the information load is quite large.

No matter if it is the Solomon magic or magic books that Adilisia has, the Celtic magic that Homani uses and the changes in Druid, the magical society has been born in this era and has spread… In the end, I had to transverse past the reference room to get to the kitchen. If I did so, I wouldn’t receive any retribution, would I? (Laugh)

I’m sorry, I’ve only greeted the fellow readers this late. I am Sanda Makoto, not Mita Makoto, but Sanda Makoto, please treat me well.

Although I have just greeted everyone, but the editor-in-charge has given me a strict warning: there are no more pages, so even if we alter, there are only eight lines left! So I can’t continue writing. As a side note, I will mention my editor’s name in this short author’s word because the editor said: I want to brag to the kids, so put my name in the author’s note. This is an amazing sentence. Is this alright? (Laugh)

Then, lastly—I hope that by picking this book up, <Rental Magica> will be a story that can bring happiness to you.

Let’s meet in the next volume!

Year: 2004, August

Written when preparing to move house but escaped reality by reading <The Chronicles of Narnia>.
