Chapter 137 – Volume 28 – Fire to the Future (2)
It’s not a sticker that takes up half of the page, like the stickers you take off when collecting endings.
A sticker that seemed to fill the entire page covered both sides of the page, so it was actually a sticker that covered the entire visible page 2.
No, if you didn’t see that this was a sticker in the first place, you would think it was an ordinary blank page.
When the sticker was carefully peeled off, the inner flesh of the two pages naturally began to be revealed.
There, a picture drawn in color was drawn on both sides of the page.
As soon as the woman saw it, she began to sob, tears dripping down her face that she hadn’t shed since she had just saved Nozomi.
“Really, really… I’m glad…”
Not to mention Nozomi and Letter in color drawings that fill up two pages.
It was a picture of a small child who looked like a child of the two of them in Nozomi’s arms.
He was showing how he finally overcomes Nozomi’s death, reaches the future, and lives a happy life.
As ever she struggled and she tried again and again as time flew by.
The fact that she saved Nozomi, which she did not realize, begins to touch.
I feel like this pretty picture compensates for the difficult time so far.
She looked at the picture for a while and sobbed.
“I am hungry…”
Maybe it was because she hadn’t cared about anything other than the fact that she had to save Nozomi.
Even though it’s almost late at night, she realizes that she hasn’t eaten a single meal all day and has been focusing on this.
“…After that, I’ll have a meal while looking at this picture.”
To be honest, I think that it would be delicious to chew on very dry bread right now.
She got up after a long time.

Again, reading it again, this second half seems to have been properly compressed.
While reading ‘Sender Unknown’ together in the club room.
I was reading the second half of the entry after solving the puzzle of the letter while the other kids watched the first half.
Actually, it was the part I was most worried about because I was quite worried about investing in the second half.
No matter how much I tried to compress the amount, I made a total of 8 endings to collect.
If I had taken all of that amount, it was clear that I would have reached a situation that could not be expressed in a single book.
However, if the detail is lower than now, the quality of the content will decrease.
So what I thought was to show a development similar to the content that came out in the beginning.
In the beginning, you have to watch the ending while repeating similar content several times without skipping the content.
Then, naturally, the details will remain in your head.
So when unfolding the same parts, if you only depict the very important parts and the parts that will change as Letter regains her memories.
Naturally, existing memories come to mind and fill in the missing parts.
Rather than describing everything, you will be able to develop in a much smaller amount.
It’s a bit worrying, but it wasn’t bad in my opinion.
‘Ah, I drew this, but it’s a bit ugly…’
Depending on the choices made in the second half, there are times when Letter enters a state of mental breakdown.
It’s time to enter the sacrifice ending, the starting point of the true ending.
At this time, it is actually a part that was made after predicting that it would fail several times in the second half.
Anyway, Nozomi, who saw the letter in such a broken mental state, thought that she had to comfort her somehow, so she tried to do something.
This is the first time she’s allowed to touch her own tail, she says.
The tail is so sensitive that even Nozomi, who appeared as the light itself in the beginning, told her not to touch it.
She said that she felt that Letter was in jeopardy to the extent that she could even touch its tail.
And the most powerful thing is, after this, when she finishes the sacrifice ending and enters the final loop.
As Nozomi writes her letter, Letter loses all of her memories and reverts to her earlier self.
At this time, Nozomi is prepared for her own death, so she tries to do everything she can for Letter as much as possible.
What I do at that time is a new position that comes out during her sex, the tail goddaughter.
Her tail is a very sensitive part, so it’s a dog-like point that Nozomi, who is her goddaughter, goes away and climaxes at the same time.
She sometimes said that among the beasts there are people with sensitive tails, so she used it as a point.
‘Anyway, the stress must be high at this point, so I tried to alleviate it a bit with this part.’
Especially in the latter half, many of these sex parts are skipped.
There is a feeling of filling it up in this final route.
At this point, I have to give a gift of her hard work to the readers who have tried again and again to save Nozomi.
‘For that purpose, I put a color on her back and covered it with a sticker.’
In fact, the most regrettable thing about making this game book was not being able to design in the form of an illustration collection.
There is also a problem with this part, but basically, I can’t put a color illustration in the middle.
It was because it was ambiguous to implement the part of seeing and collecting illustrations.
Still, while giving the feeling of collecting illustrations like this in the final ending.
I tried to adopt a similar system to give a stronger feeling of saving Nozomi and rewarding her.
To that end, I put the color at the very back, where it was the only place where I could put it, and then covered it with a sticker, and encouraged people to open it when they saw the final ending.
And the content of the illustration is that Nozomi and Letter live happily ever after.
It’s also the scene that readers want the most while working on this work.
I was expecting the effect to be that intense.
“Why why…!”
In the meantime, the other club members were in the midst of breaking their high praise in the beginning.
Seeing that reaction in real time, I wonder if I made it too hard.
Did you push the work too spicy?
“I can get it… I can get it.”
At least, I chose chamomile as the scent of the scented candle, to reduce anxiety and bring stability to the mind and body.
To be honest, it doesn’t seem to work very well.
Still, the scene where Nozomi dies is too shocking to be calmed down by the incense.
“What is Jets, ah!”
“…Isn’t that too much of a curse?”
“Carly, I’ll be mad if I don’t really save Nozomi.”
It felt like everyone was getting colder, so I sneaked out of the club room to buy some snacks.
Maybe that’s enough to put my life in danger.
After all, it’s dangerous that there are people who know my identity?
‘Anyway, I don’t know if the Jets part was delivered well.’
Zetsu is the main villain of unknown origin, and acts as a curse to kill Nozomi.
Although there is a detailed setting that she has to periodically kill the one that clings to herself in order to survive.
Actually, it wasn’t all that important.
The most important thing was how to fight Letter, the main character, how to survive and how to lose.
So in the case of that part, the letter is the main material of the work, so I made it related to solving the puzzle and when it was a condition for a happy ending.
For that reason, a setting that is weak to fire was created.
Actually, there was no such setting at first, and I just started with the setting of the curse to kill Nozomi.
It was at this time that the name ‘Zets’ was first decided upon.
The reason is that in the language of the beastmen, ‘zetsu’ means to cut off, and ‘nozomi’ means hope, so when combined, it becomes ‘despair’.
In other words, it was named after thinking about the concept of turning despair into hope and regaining the future by erasing ‘Zets’.
In fact, I think this part fit well even after additional settings were entered.
Because it’s a curse, I don’t say anything or anything.
When I expressed it as black fog as much as possible, I tried to add a little bit of emotional expression as if I was alive.
It’s a curse, but he’s got some will and intelligence.
“Eat some and do it.”
“Cookie isn’t the problem right now? We have to save Nozomi…”
“You have to eat and work hard to save. If you say something like that, Nozomi will scold you?”
“That, that’s…”
All three of them have been watching the caller unknown all day.
As the person who made it, it was a really happy state.
To be honest, I’m enjoying my work so hard, and I’m in a good mood, so I can unconditionally provide you with refreshments like this.
“I’m glad… I’m glad.”
And time passed, and now everyone is starting to reach the final ending, ‘Flames for the Future’.
Thank you to everyone who spent all day watching the work today, which is Saturday.
I put a blanket over everyone who fell asleep in the club room.
I was prepared just in case, but I’m glad I did.
“It’s a blanket. It’s a pity that I can’t make a Nozomi blanket.”
To be honest, she was a heroine with a warm and soft feeling that was perfect for producing goods made of blankets and pillows.
It was a bit unfortunate that it didn’t.
Well, this is just the part where you have to be content with warm scented candles.
I chose the scented candle because I wanted to express the part of the puzzle that needed fireworks and Nozomi’s warm heart.
“Nozomi…”
“Really, I’m very proud today. I’m not sure if it’s only them who enjoyed it this much… But I’d be happy if a lot of people enjoyed it like this.”
Honestly, just because I was making this, I gave up everything, including final exam grades, and wasted my time.
There were a lot of things I struggled with because it was my first time, and there were a lot of things I had to struggle with due to the nature of the genre.
I gave up even sleeping and suffered for months.
Seeing with my own eyes how they enjoy the work while beating it all day like that.
Rather, I was really happy because I felt like I was being repaid by everyone.
