The Forsaken Saintess and her Foodie Roadtrip in Another World (Light Novel), Volume 3 The Translator's Afterword

Volume Three, The Translator’s Afterword

Hello, everyone, the translator is here. When I started translating the light novel version, I had a choice of which volume to start with. Since I hadn’t read any of the volumes beforehand, I estimated that the end of the web version would be around the third volume of the light novel version. Turns out, though, I was a bit wrong, at the end of this volume Rin and the rest hadn’t even made it to the capital :). However, I don’t regret being wrong, as I liked the part where Rin was “kidnapped” and the following reaction of the Gourmands.

Anyway, I plan to translate all the volumes. The main thing is to get it done before the book gets licensed, :D.
