Author's Commentary #54:
Time to talk about Chapter 54: Staying by your side.
This fight was what I decided to initially end the original series with before deciding to post the bonus chapters. As mentioned before, this story arc was a remake original and simply imported to the original. As for the Hasselhan team, Gracie and Pete are dead while Sidney is likely going to be killed by whomever commissioned Izuhana to take them down. Speaking of Pete, let's briefly go over his bio.
ピート・ワーシントン (Pete Worthington) is how his name is spelled in katakana. He's the long-range sniper of the team and tends to always hide out far away while the Hasselhan sisters take more of a mid-range to close-range position when going after a target.
His birthday is March 6th. I chose this date at random so there's no real significance for why I chose this date to be his birthday.
His favorite food is maraschino cherries. Though he can't rerorerorero like Kakyoin very well nor can he tie cherry stems with his tongue like the characters from Kaguya-sama.
As for Detective Yuzume, I will confirm that she is the same Reika Yuzume from Escape Witch. In the original, she was actually introduced shortly after Yuugen made his debut. Here however, I decided to have her debut much later. I originally did want to have her properly converse with Rika during season 1, but was unable to due to the contest's maximum word count. As such, she'll properly meet Rika in Season 2 of the remake.
Speaking of which, there are no only a few more chapters left of Season 1. Even though these past few chapters featured an intense battle, there's still one more big clash before Season 1 ends. I hope you look forward to it.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
