**Holiday Bonus: Unrelated to the Main Story**
This has absolutely nothing to do with the main story. Think of it as a little chat from the author.
Yes, yes, I know. I’ve been writing continuously and I’m exhausted, but I have this sad, compulsive nature where I want to rest, yet I end up writing anyway.
Also, as I mentioned quite a while ago, I’ve been doing a ton of revisions for the publication process. I’ve been editing typos, omissions, and phrasing. However, I’m keeping the original text here as it is. I want to remember that it was *this* version—typos and all—that caught the attention of the publisher. It’s a "Narou" web novel, after all. Let’s just write what we want. Freedom is good, isn't it?
Anyway, setting the preamble aside, the main topic of this bonus is to announce some titles I have in the middle of being written.
**Dig 163: Negotiations and a Showdown, and the Self-Evident Truth Called a Cheat**
As the title suggests, this is the latest chapter. I’m planning for it to be about the negotiations with the Princess of Wind.
**Fourth Stratum: Results Announcement and Gathering Gazes**
The fourth chapter of *Leisurely Journey in Another World*. Actually, I’ve written a fair bit of this, but between the editing work and writing other things, I realized it was impossible to keep up, so this one is currently on hiatus!!
**There Was Only One!! Chapter 1: Spilled Water Cannot Be Gathered**
An unpublished work. It’s a story about a guy who gets summoned while eating cup ramen, and he proceeds to beat the Demon Lord and the Hero into the ground right then and there. Never underestimate the grudge of someone whose meal was interrupted. He breaks through everything that stands in his way to live his own life.
**Dig 105:**
Judging by the "Dig" numbering, this was for *Winning Dungeon*. The content is only two lines long. I think I stopped writing it because I changed the direction of the plot.
**Chapter 1: Leisurely as Always**
An unpublished work. It starts with a student named Natsuki-kun who gets sent to another world and begins a journey to find a way home. He’s already been living in a village for about a year, though.
**Shot 2: Magic Class**
The second chapter of the *Level 1 Legend* side story featuring Tanaka. It covers Tanaka learning magic and grasping his own power alongside the Hero. This becomes the catalyst that stops the Rumel invasion army.
**I Just Want to Take It Easy**
An unpublished work about Kazuya and Tanaka’s friends from work. In this one, instead of being sent to another world, they win the lottery and pretend to still be working while actually living in retirement. However, a magical girl ends up moving into their house, causing all sorts of trouble.
**Pitfall 9: Glossy**
Yuki—that is, Kazuya—was supposed to have a "special moment" with his wives here. In reality, it was postponed.
**Pitfall 5: Wife Meeting**
A meeting where the wives ambush Yuki. Scrapped.
**The Trio of Idiots**
A chaotic story featuring three men. It’s basically a school story, but they go to other worlds, aliens show up, and of course, the Hero, the Demon Lord, and even the afterlife are no match for them. In my setting, even Yuki and Tanaka can’t beat these three. To put it simply, they are the type who can rewrite the story itself. Think of it as a story where they enter a movie they’re watching and change the plot, turning everything into a mess.
**Dig 58: True Feelings**
Probably... I forgot.
**Dig 57: And Thus, the Battle Ended**
Actually, I planned to end the story of Litea in this chapter. Well, if you look at the chapter numbers and the surrounding entries, you can see it’s a bit too sudden, so I scrapped it. I thought it might be okay, but I decided it was a bit too much.
**The Story of a Former Mercenary Sent to Another World**
The original version of the Tanaka story. This one is solo.
And that’s the current list of works I have in progress on Narou. You might have noticed, but I’m writing and posting new stuff every single day. It’s all based on whatever comes to mind at the moment—though I do make sure the continuity holds up. My writing time is usually between 7:00 PM and 11:00 PM, after I get home from work. I aim for about 3,000 to 5,000 characters in roughly four hours. I draw the illustrations too, so it’s quite a lot of work, yes.
Also, normally this should be posted as an activity report like a standalone article, but since I have so many works in progress for *Winning Dungeon*, I put it here. Honestly, I don’t even look at other people’s activity reports, so I figured this would be better.
If you see this and feel like trying to write something yourself, you should start right away. If I can do it, anyone can.
See you tomorrow.
