The novel’s author will be Keiichi Hikami, who previously also wrote numerous novels based on Capcom’s Monster Hunter series. The illustrator lack—best known for designing Hololive Production Vtubers Shiranui Flare and Arurandeisu, as well as Fate/Grand Order‘s Okada Izo, Setanta, and Andromeda—will provide images for this novel.
The new Japanese novel will be available with a price tag of ¥1,430 (~$9.50). Pre-orders for physical copies of the novel are also available on Amazon Japan, which supports international shipping. The listing also shows that the hardcover book will have 354 pages.
