Asagiri's Notes for Historia Naturalis Sumeru

"Umm... This book is more of a science publication than a novel."

"It's rich in detail, and the author has done solid research."

"It's a good piece of work indeed, but not one that sells, because no one would read it."

"That's why the editor came to us for help."

"After some discussion, we decided to add a fictional guide in the book to explain its content in simple language."

"Next is where I come in- giving the guide a pleasant look."
