Translator introduction
It’s been about a year since I
posted the translation for Yorimichi 2, time sure flies, doesn’t it?
With the completion of this book the
entire light novel series is fully translated once again, hopefully that won’t
be the case for long.
Of course there’s still a lot of
Konosuba left to translate. As you may know, while Yorimichi 3 is a collection
of brand-new short stories, the first two volumes are compilations of short
stories released prior. And well, there’s still a lot of those short stories
around left to translate, so hopefully you’ll hear more from me soon.
This book is rather interesting too
because it commemorates an important anniversary of the series in Japan,
originally releasing a few days prior to the 10th anniversary of the
release of the first light novel. It’s fun to see how much Akatsuki and Mishima
have improved their craft in all these years.
Special thanks goes to cheese from
the Konosuba discord server for cleaning up the colored images and front cover,
he really did a banger job.
Also special thanks to everyone that
supported on Patreon and Ko-fi, translation is difficult and time consuming, so
any help is greatly appreciated.

And of course, thank you for reading!
Afterword
This is the third
Konosuba short story collection, thank you for buying this book!
The other
two volumes consist of short stories released beforehand, this one is special,
all short stories are brand new.
This is
because by the time this book will be published Konosuba will be celebrating
its 10th anniversary, you could see this is a commemoration of that.
The very first volume was released in Japan on October 1st, 2013.
I would like
to express my gratitude to all the readers for their continued support over the
years.
Regarding
chronology, well, that’s kind of iffy.
Konosuba was
written with little space between each volume, so it can be somewhat difficult
to write stories like this, but you can say that these stories take place after
the seventh volume of the main series.
It’s still a
mess with little cohesion, very much on brand.
When I reread
older volumes, I feel like these guys haven’t changed since I started writing
the web novel, it’s been a while since I’ve written about Kazuma and the gang,
and it’s still a lot of fun to write them. I hope I’ll be able make more short
stories in the future.
On a
different note, a third season for the anime has been announced! I don’t know
when it’ll air, but it’s supposed to happen in 2024.
It’s been a
while since I watched the anime, but I’m looking forward to it, and I hope you
are too!
I’d like to
give my thanks to Miss Mishima, the editor, and many more people who all worked
to get this book to your hands. This book is not only marks Konosuba’s 10th
anniversary, but also my 10th year as a professional author, yet I
still have to apologize for all the inconveniences I cause.
And most of
all, I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to all of you who read the book!
