Afterword

“A man should not give excuses”. I heard these words once, I will not say anything. However, please allow me to say one thing -- if my memory serves me correctly, the current date should be 17th month of 2015, right?

Also, I recall hearing someone say, “Prearrangements are not fixed, thus they aren’t the same as the final outcome”. Ah, what a charming phrase! How full of romance it is!
“找借口是不男人的行为”，因为听说过这句话所以我什么都不会说。但是，只有这件事请让我说出来。我的记忆要是正确的话，现在是二零一五年十七月的冬天，没错是吧！
而且还有听过“预定因为是未定所以和决定不同”这句话的记忆。多么有魅力的话语啊！其中满满的都是浪漫呢！

...I’m very sorry.

Volume 11 will not be like this one. There is no intention of making you wait, so I hope everyone can find it in themselves to forgive me. Also, the next volume is -- well, anyone who’s read all the way to the end, it can’t be helped if it’s written down.. In addition, volume 11 will feature a much-awaited special edition. Anyone who’s seen the anime will understand. It’s a new 30 minute-long episode of Pure Pure Pleiades, isn’t that surprising?!
……非常抱歉。
十一卷和这一次不一样，是没有让大家等待的预定的，可以的话还请大家原谅吧。而且下一卷是——嘛，对读到过最后的人即使写上也没有办法呢。而且十一卷好像要发行久违的特装版呢。看过动画的人们应该有很多人有所了解吧，「ぶれぶれぶれあです」的三十分钟完全新作哦，吃了一惊呢！

Then, how do you feel after reading Volume 10, everyone?

How different is running a country from running an organization?

Ainz started from his interests, but how would you all do it? Maruyama is very interested in the answer. If it were me, I would do this. If it were me, I would do that. I would be very glad to hear everyone’s opinions on that matter.

And if it should turn out that someone created another work based on this, or even another original light novel, I would be even more delighted. Because in truth, that’s Maruyama for you.
那么，读完了十卷的各位，大家又是怎样呢？
比起组织——要参与国家经营的话，大家要从何下手呢？
安兹是即兴地行动着，大家的话又会从哪里开始做起呢，丸山对此非常感兴趣。我的话会这么做。我的话会这么做，要是能听到这样的意见我会很开心的。
以此为契机，要是有了进行二次创作，甚至是写出原创小说的打算我的喜悦也会更上一层楼。
因为实际上，丸山就是这样的。

And then, you already know of the popularity poll from the tail end of the book. Please tell me the characters you like best. Unlike ordinary popularity polls, the fact that the first place is already decided is something which has never been seen before.

I won’t give extra appearances to unexpectedly popular characters. This is simply to see which characters everyone likes best.
然后本卷的最后已经通知了，要进行人气投票。请告诉我大家喜欢的角色。与普通的人气投票不同，第一名已经决定了这种事情也是古今东西没有人见过的吧。
即便有名次出乎意料的高的角色也不会给他增加出场机会的，只是对大家喜欢的角色感兴趣而已。

Next, the people I want to thank:

Sorry for ruining your schedule, so-bin-sama. Thank you very much for this.

My sincere thanks to Ohaku-sama the proofreader, the designers, Chord Design Studio-sama and the editor, F-da-sama. Also to honey, my friend from my student days, thank you as always.

Most importantly, thank you to all you readers out there. The story is now completely divorced from the WN, so I would be very happy if you liked it.
接下来就是致谢。
打乱了日程安排【スケジュール，丸山错拼成スケージュル，社畜完全感觉不到歉意】真是非常抱歉。so-bin先生，这一次也是非常感谢。
校对的大迫先生，设计的Code Design Studio先生，编辑的F田先生，非常感谢。还有学生时代起的朋友honey，一如既往的感谢。
还有最重要的读者的各位，这次也是非常感谢。是和WEB版完全偏离了的故事，能喜欢的话我会很高兴的。
