Editor: And.... in volume 11.5, didn't you mention about the shocking development?
Tomose: yeah, haha. I just want to say that I feel sorry for Karuizawa.
Kinugasa: Not like that, we don't know if it's the end for them haha
Tomose: We can tell the ending by looking at Ayanokouji's expression ~
Kinugasa: That's not true. Maybe it will change over time!
Tomose: Ayanokouji gave a monologue that sounded like it could only end tragically.
Editor: It was unusual, right? When the monologue ended, the next part was the illustration and people was wondering "is he smiling?"
Tomose: He's (Kinugasa) throwing all the work on me haha
Kinugasa: That was groundbreaking! It took a lot of arrangements to make it happen!
Tomose: But I feel sorry for her. She was being played.
Kinugasa: Well, there's something common in normal works. About who is the heroine, is she the one from the start, or she only be decided at the end, or it won't be decided at all. I've had enough of that! "Would the girlfriend change or not" I don't want to end like that. It's more interesting to write "how the couple will develop" instead of "who will the end girl be"!
Tomose: I don't know... I feel sorry for her, even though she's at the peak of her happiness now haha
Kinugasa: That's how it is haha
Tomose: R-Really?
Kinugasa: In real life, even if that person has a partner, it's normal to go on the attack for someone you genuinely love, right? Though some will move on too, isn't that realistic? So why not in the light novel too.
Tomose: I see.
Kinugasa: Some won't give up, and some will move on. It's not strange to have them change their crush to someone else in the story.
Editor: As someone who draw the characters, are you feeling pity? Haha
Tomose: She's pitiful lol, to be hugged like that.
Kinugasa: But, there's a huge chance that she will have a happy ending next to Ayanokouji at the end.
Tomose: We don't know what's going to happen in the end.
Kinugasa : You seem anxious.
Tomose: Because I don't think it'll lead to wedding scene with Karuizawa.
Kinugasa : If Youzitsu suddenly got axed, I'll go with that ending haha. She's been through a lot at school, she's happy now...
Editor: Something like, 2nd Year Volume 15: "Karuizawa's Wedding Arc"?
Kinugasa : Yes, I'm glad, though there's a lot of small things to worry about
Editor: There is also a way to create "if-routes" right?
Tomose: For each character!
Kinugasa: I've been thinking about the ending a lot. I don't know how many volumes are left, but I already have an idea how the story will end. I hope the readers will be happy when reading it.
