First of all, sincerest apologies to those who have been waiting to read more of the story. This year has been incredibly busy for me and the spare time I had to work on the story was scarce, but thank you so much for your patience.

This should cover the rest of Hiromi's arc and plant seeds for a future arc I have planned.

Now for veteran readers, you'll notice that there's no voice acting for the first week, or in fact no voice acting at all.

This is because I have made a difficult decision to remove the voice acting, for several reasons:

1) Budget constraints. I do not have enough of a budget to continually hire voice actors, and as such, instead of only adding voice acting for a few scenes, I've inclined to remove them altogether to remain consistent with the rest of the story.

2) Incorrect translations. When I asked a co-writer about the Japanese voice acting, they found out that the Japanese lines given to the voice actors were not only incorrect, but also robotic and unnatural. Those who are astute to Japanese will immediately figure out how it sounds unnatural.

3) The voice actors I hired became too busy to work on further recordings. I would have to schedule in advance, and I simply do not have the time to sit by for the recordings.

We truly apologize for the inconvenience and hope people will understand why I have made the decision to remove voice acting.

Despite this, we still hope you enjoy the story enough to want to read more of it.

Thank you for sticking with me through this time and we hope you enjoy what Shujinko Academy may have in store!
