Dedication
I dedicate this book to my goddaughter Hannah S. It will take years before she will be able to read and understand this book, but that doesn't matter, does it?
She has influenced my life in a way that I could never have imagined. Without her, this book would probably never have been written. I thank her with all my heart.
Thanks
I would also like to thank my friend Stefan S. and his family. He invited me to become a part of this family and I was warmly welcomed and accepted.
I would like to thank Dana S. for her support. Sometimes, she was really fanatical, but she's a wonderful fan-girl. My Fan Girl # 1.
I also thank her for creating the book covers and occasional fan-arts.
Another thanks goes to Dharma S. She awakened my lost thought love of writing and made me write this book. When I started, I wasn't aware of how extensive this work would be. Probably I would have chickened out in this case.
She also introduced me to wattpad.com, so you should be grateful to this girl. ;-)
A special thanks goes to the user DevilAngelEx from wattpad.com. She knew the subject Yōkai much better than me and has made me research the subject more closely, which has influenced my original idea very much.
Lastly, I thank you, dear reader. I sincerely hope this book has entertained you well. If you have made it to this point, I have probably fulfilled my mission.
Perhaps we'll meet again, or it would be nice if we didn't lose sight of each other, as a certain Oni usually says.
And why am I talking around the hot mash? The second volume is already under construction.
Special Thanks
A very special thanks goes to the wattpad.com user X_Crazy_Shippings_X.
Thank you so much for sticking with me through all these months. Sometimes it get's hard, when no one reads your work, but you kept me going through all this time.
Even if it's only you, who will ever read this book, it was totally worth the work of translating. Especially, if you liked it.
Thank you very much, and I'm really looking forward to welcome you for the next volume.
