Volume 7: The Girl in the Forest of Darkness

[162]
Afterword
This time it's 4 panel.

As for the two Zephels in the color frontispiece illustration, one is the imposter Guardian
Sionna-kun from "Tenkuu no Requiem".

Zephel- There's kind of no difference in our treatment, is there?

[a]
This time,

[b]
I tried making the afterword in 4 panel style.

[c]
It's certainly not that there wasn't any material for this afterword, but

[d]
... I've had enough, enough...

*collapsing*

I don't have the capacity to think of text any more and
my arm hurts and my handwriting is messy.

Always Together

[a]
Rosa- Say, nurse.

Nurse- Yes, miss.

[b]
Rosa- How long have you been my nurse?

*hohoho*
Nurse- Now, now, I'll always be your nurse.

[c]
Rosa- ...... That's not what I had in mind.
*... A third wheel? Or something.*

Nurse- We'll always be together.
*ohohohohohoho*

[d]
Marcel- Chupi, we'll always be together too.

Chupi- *chupipi*

No punch line.

---------

Black Box...?

[a]
There's something I always wonder about.

*You shouldn't weld in that outfit.*

Zephel- Whatever you say, you're a slave driver.

As Guardian of Steel, one can say it's a natural concern.

[b]
What is the power source of the Sanctuary, where quill pens & paper and laptops,
And carriages and airbikes are mixed?

Julious- It's a matter of taste.

Cameo appearance by an intern.

[c]
*snap*
Zephel- I can't understand it!

[d]
Zephel- Let me take apart the Wandering Star Disk!
*Just once!*

Pastha- I won't let you.
