Although she is the mother of the hero, she has become an executive in the Demon King's army. - Notice of end of comic series

I was surprised and shocked by this sudden incident, but after hearing the details from Tsuzuru-sensei, I was convinced that there was no other choice but to end the series.
Some people may think it's irresponsible for the series to end in this way.
In fact, it's the opposite.
Just look at the careful drawings and scenes recreated from the original, and it's obvious just how strong a sense of responsibility Tsuzuru-sensei was and how seriously he approached his work.
Ending the series was a difficult decision for Tsuzuru-sensei as a professional.
I apologize to all the readers who have been looking forward to the update, but as the original author, I respect Mr. Tsuzuru's wishes.
Readers are free to comment if they regret the end of the comic series.
However, please refrain from using extreme slander against Mr. Tsuzuru personally.
