For certain reasons, there are some things that need to be made clear before we begin.
First, all historical elements depicted in this book are part of an alternate history and have no connection to real history beyond their original inspirations.
Second, the setting prototype for this volume is Type-Moon's alternate history, so it differs greatly from real history. Please be mindful of the distinction between fiction and reality.
Third, the names appearing in this volume have no connection to real historical figures beyond their original inspirations. I have no intention whatsoever of slighting or insulting real history or historical figures.
Fourth, this is a fanfiction novel. Some place names will be altered using homophones; please be aware of this.
Fifth, I will write this story with reverence and seriousness, and within the limits of my ability, I will do my utmost to make it as good as possible.
Sixth, I sincerely hope everyone can read this volume peacefully and harmoniously. Gui Zhengfan thanks you all here. (Bows.)
