Afterword

Hello, Dengeki Bunko readers! I’m Ryou Iwanami, a light novel author!

This might come out of nowhere, but ever since I was a kid, I’ve had a desire to be “dominated by a younger girl.”

However, in the real world, younger women who’d dominate me don’t just conveniently show up.

So, to satisfy that desire in another way, I published works like I’m the Strongest in a Zombie World, but I Can’t Beat This Girl and The Girl Who Won First Place in the “Bride Contest” Has Dirt on Me with MF Bunko J.

As a result, I was scouted by a super masochistic editor at Dengeki Bunko.

When I first got the offer, I was so honored I could hardly believe it. Dengeki Bunko is the label I’ve always admired, dreaming of one day publishing a stylish work like my predecessors.

So, I agonized a lot over whether it was okay to lose my Dengeki Bunko virginity with a title like Scolded Again Today by a Younger Female Instructor.

If possible, I wanted to lose my virginity with a cooler title. Something with short, evocative words that conjure a unique worldview, or a seemingly nonsensical title that makes perfect sense and impresses readers by the end of the story…

But I couldn’t.

Because what I want to write is a story about being dominated by a younger girl…

So, what did you think of this work, written purely from my desires?

If you found it interesting, I couldn’t be happier. It’d mean my lost virginity was worth it.

…By the way, is it okay to describe publishing with a new label as “losing my virginity”? Will some important person get mad at me…?

I’m getting anxious now, but there’s no turning back, so I’ll move on to the acknowledgments.

First, to the illustrator, TwinBox-sama: Thank you so much for the wonderful illustrations. All the heroines are adorable and just perfect.

Next, to my editor, Komano-sama: Thank you for teaching me about various fetishes during our meetings. It was incredibly helpful. I look forward to working with you going forward.

And above all, my deepest gratitude to all of you who read this far.

I often check SNS, so I’d be thrilled if you posted your thoughts. Including the title somewhere in your post makes it easier for me to find, which would be a big help.

I hope to meet you again in Volume 2!
