I’m so sorry to have kept you waiting, everyone. I’m back and feeling much better!!

Hello everyone!! It’s Villainchin!

First of all, I really apologize for disappearing without saying anything.

My colitis flared up severely, and I had to be hospitalized for a while for treatment.

About three weeks ago, right in the middle of finishing Hikari, I suddenly had intense abdominal pain and couldn’t sit up for long at all.

I didn’t even have the strength or relaxed to use a translator, so I just copied and edited a previous post to explain the situation before going hospital.

But after I got discharged turns out damnn.. I confirmed only edited the old post without actually uploading it…! My mistake.. I’m so sorry for making you worry—totally my fault.

At first, I thought it was just a typical case of food poisoning.—so I went to a small clinic for an IV drip.

But when a high fever started, I was immediately hospitalized.

Thankfully it wasn’t COVID, but my pre-existing colitis worsened drastically due to something I ate.

I’ve been careful since my previous surgery (I even avoided pizza!), so I feel a bit unfairly ..

(I wore adult pants.. This is..!! I feel like I've lost my adult pride... BUt! I was so sick that I didn't think much about it! )

The antibiotics weren’t working well, so recovery took longer than expected.

But now I’m finally well enough to draw and eat again, and I’ve been discharged! I’ll get back to sharing new art with you.

I'm really sorry that this happened again after the last issue..

I promised myself to take care of myself

I thought food in the freezer was absolutely safe..

Now for the most important part: I’m updating the upload schedule.

I’ve recovered, so it’s time to get back to draw!!!

Hikari is already prepped and ready, so I’ll upload her immediately.

As for the next project—Cartethyia:

Due to the sudden health issue, I wasn’t able to work on Cartethyia properly, and it’s currently still unfinished.

But I’ll definitely complete and share it within this month as I continue recovering.

It will also be available to last month’s supporters, as a fully public release.

I’m truly sorry—even after adjusting the scene count to 2, this still happened...

I promise I’ll finish it beautifully, just wait a little longer!

And about the monthly voting event you’ve all been looking forward to:

I really don’t want to skip it. Especially for those who support me every month—I want to make it happen.

Though I can’t upload the event Character, the character that wins the vote will be featured as the first free post of next month!

On Saturday the 19th, I’ll post a progress update for Cartethyia,

and open the sponsor character submission at 12:00 (JST) that day as well.

Thank you for reading this long update.

ANd Once again, I’m truly sorry for disappearing so suddenly.

I really didn’t want to go through another long hospital stay, bu I guess just wanting to be strong doesn’t make the body cooperate.

To everyone who patiently waited for my recovery—I’m incredibly grateful.

I've written down a bunch of things I want to eat during the fast!

Especially ice cream! Vanillla!!!!

I can't eat freely yet,

but I'll get better soon and eat lots of delicious things!

Please be extra careful with what you eat this hot summer!!

And Hikari is coming right up—please come take a look!

Have a good and happy day everyone!
