＜Below are the full comments＞

【Yuki Aoi, voice of Gracefeel】

Gracefeel is the God that Will-kun followed.
I will try my best in voicing her so that you can feel that you have become strong by believing in her and an existence that is worthy to be believed in.
Please look forward to “The Faraway Paladin”.

【Takahashi Hiroki, voice of Stagnate】

I am quite happy that I am able to voice the rare God role as well as the “Villain” at the same time.
The tension and fast pace of Will’s monologue are quite comfortable, and I was drawn in by it when having the recording session together.
I hope that you can look forward to the broadcast even if you know or don’t know about the original work.
