Afterword

Hello, my name is harao.

※Below, I’d like to briefly talk about the main story, spoilers included!

Generally, stories about two-timing protagonists rely on lies to navigate the risk of being exposed. This work was born from the idea: What if the protagonist was physically incapable of lying? If you felt excited and on edge throughout, I am overjoyed.

And to all my readers, who do you like the most: Sara or Yuki (or perhaps Rio, Nanami, or Souta)?

Please let me know in your fan letters or posts on social media like X, along with your thoughts on the work! (A straight-up request!)

The following are my acknowledgments.

First, thank you to Kodansha Ranobe Bunko for honoring this work with the Newcomer Award, and to my editors, Shōji-sama and Murakami-sama, for seeing me through the manuscript process.

To Chigusa Minori-sensei, who created the illustrations: The cover is amazing! I was immediately drawn in by Sara’s and Yuki’s eyes. I’m sure many readers picked up this book because of those eyes and the girls’ undeniable sexiness!

And to all the bookstore staff who stocked this book, everyone else involved, and the readers who picked up this work. My deepest gratitude to all of you.
