Clockwork Planet:Volume2 Afterword

Clockwork Planet 2: Afterword (Collab)

“…Now then, do you mind explaining the long delay between publications while playing catch?”
–At a certain place and time, the editor-in-charge S asked with his eyes half-opened.
“Hohoho…when did it seem like we’re playing catch here–?”
“This is dodgeball. We’re using iron balls, huh, hoho.”
Kamiya and Himana, battered for some reason, smiled fearlessly.
“The last time, the distance was the obstructing factor, but now that Tsubaki’s in Saitama now, I can beat him up whenever I can.”
“And thus this is a mystery! This me who returns every beating is still here! Long live the code of Hammurabi!!”
“…Can’t both of you get along a little better?”
“It is as you say, but a certain round glasses guy who extolled about world peace had a dispute in a band and caused it to disband, you know?”
This is the result of wanting to eliminate international borders (Role sharing). To the glasses guy in heaven, can you see it?

“To summarise, for anyone like us to see a clear point of compromise, they would have to use sign language (asserts)”
“Yes, this thing called peace is too idealistic. Humans can only understand each other by beating each other up–”
“Well, whatever. The result of no publication is that you’ll be in financial trouble, you know?”
“”War leaves only debts behind. (serious looks)””
In response to the editor-in-charge’s words, the two men with swollen faces nodded in unison.
“…I just thought of it.”
–And Shino, who had been watching on till this point, spoke up.
“It’s about a certain work of Mr Kamiya at another company. I think Mr S is the one in charge of promotion, commercialization and contract signing with Mr Kamiya’s wife. Also, it seems Mr S noticed that there are moves for an anime adaptation…is it because you know of how busy Mr Kamiya is that you don’t intend to release Clockwork Planet?”
–He noticed something he should not have.
In the midst of this silence, the editor-in-charge S was the only one to continue on leisurely.
“I see. Looks like I have no choice but to collect the manuscript. I’ll like to have the 3rd volume earlier, okay?”
As they watch him stand up to leave with a heinous smirk, Kamiya and Tsubaki stood up to roar,
“Hey, wait, editor-in-charge! We could have finished this earlier if I wasn’t so busy, right?”
“Aren’t you the source of all evil who made Kamiya ‘so busy’ that he can’t return back to writing!?”
And then, both of them exchanged handshakes with fiendish smirks, just like a mirror.
“”Let us kill off the mastermind behind this war♥””
And with a common goal, both of them chased after the editor-in-charge at full speed.


…Shino watches the trio quickly disappear, and nod deeply.
“I see. So conspiracies do exist after all, huh~”
–Yes, world peace is still a distant thing. He muttered in his heart
