Afterword


Greetings, it's been 2 months, I am Mamare.

I am grateful for your purchase of Log Horizon 5 Sunday in the streets of Akiba, which is the last Log Horizon book for the year. Ah~ this has been a long year. Although I want to say 'this is a good place to stop!' but it is already the spring of 2012 in the publishing world.

If my esteemed readers are in the workforce, you should be able to understand the production process and the merchandise making it to the shelf are different things. You might be in December while holding this book, but Mamare is still stuck in October country.

The weather is getting cold, the sunlight is gradually making people happy and the bed is becoming alluring. That's right, this is the season for afternoon naps. Some people call it the autumn of appetites, the autumn for sports, but it is the autumn for sleeping for Mamare. Even the autumn of reading which is crucial for authors cannot beat afternoon naps.

The Mamare who was found out to be an author by his family starts to live his NEET lifestyle with an open heart at home. Although he has always lived like a NEET, but being a published author makes Mamare a professional NEET. Professional NEET (National class 1 limit break) just ranks below office dwelling NEET (international class 1) and married NEET (international class 2).

NEET lives carefree lives everyday like the Muni family <TL: finland fairy tale>. In fact, Mamare thinks it is a happy lifestyle where he can write daily, but he receive pressure from all sides. to use this chance and clean up the house. Asking a NEET to do hard labor, this goes against the international NEET charter. Mamare was being politically correct when saying 'all sides', the true meaning is 'threat of violence from Mamare(younger sister). Cough cough.

Electric stove, throw. Microwave, throw. Fridge, throw.

Cleaning the house this way feels more like moving than doing spring cleaning. Instead of moving, it is more like escaping in the night, pawning everything in the house away. If being bald is a refreshing feeling, then the Mamare house is super refreshing. Mamare don't understand how it turn out like this.

The fridge is gone, Mamare(younger sister) stock of ice cream is also finished. It is going to be winter soon and there is no need to stock up on ice cream, but Mamare(younger sister) is still furious. Mamare(younger sister) before entering middle school always thought that 'Hagen Daaz is only for grown ups, so I will only eat it after getting my licence'. Nope, that's how my mother educated her.

In the Mamare family, Lady Borden ice cream is used as a substitute for people who fail the age test. Lady Borden sama, I am sorry.

Speaking of comparison, the Mamare family treats Young anchovy rice bowl as the inferior substitute of Salmon roe rice bowl. Mother will talk about how 'eating such a small fish is a sin', making the atmosphere during meals awkward. Mamare(younger sister) somehow mistook young anchovy to be baby Capelins somehow.

Recollecting this makes me realize mother was pushing it too much.

The reason why Mamare don't eat Natto is because mother said 'Chiba has a pond that ferments the beans, many people were forced into hard labor there'. Hai, what a terrible tale. When I ask her about it 10 years later, mother said with a smile 'that was a prank, because you were very arrogant back then'.

I was thinking about how to get back at her, but now I think about it, Mamare also pass on many fake knowledge to Mamare(younger sister), so I am guilty too. This is the ties of the blood.

A few days ago, I told her 'To confirm the final process of the publishing, I will be going to the factory to adjust the colors, this is an important obligation of the author' and prepare to leave the house. Mamare(younger sister) told me 'don't trouble others' and bid me farewell, she didn't think I am actually going to a BBQ party. But she found out in the end and gave me a punch.

Because of these matters, I want to let my editor F-ta chan play the female lead in my afterword too. If I keep going this route, the social pressure I feel from Mamare(younger sister) will increase, which manifest in the form of physical blows in reality. This ends the regular report of the Mamare family, I will talk about Log Horizon 5.

After taking a breather from the grand scale battles of the previous volume, this is a slice of life in Akiba episode this time. Shiroe's love story is gradually beginning, the 2 girls Akatsuki and Minori make their first moves.

Just like Lady Borden can't become the substitute of Hagan Daaz, similar to how young anchovy rice bowl is the inferior replacement of salmon roe rice bowl, the 2 of them are totally different entities. Unable to see this obvious concept, comparing things other then themselves, these unresolved feelings are the focus in this book. But without this suffering and darkness, they won't be able to welcome the daybreak.

The equipment of each character featured at the beginning of each chapter, is also the results of fan submission during September-October of 2011. The ideas we used are from 545454248、IGM_masamune、YoshiSondermann、hige_mg、hpsuke、iron007dd22、kane_yon、kuroyag16、roki-a、sawame_ja、shinbachi、shisei_ssi、vaiso y。maneeeeee、zrk- thank you everyone! Even though a lot of the submission did not make it to publication, I am still grateful to all netizens who participated, Log Horizon can only written with all your support.

Mr Osako also took care of me this round! Thank you everyone!

Next will be for the readers to enjoy this book, please take your time!


'Don't Ostracise Nameko bowl' Mamare Touno




A gear inside Akatsuki falls into place.

Lowering her centre of gravity and holding her breath. The image she draws from her heart when assuming this pose becomes a trigger for a skill. This is the unique skill of trackers, silent move. It usually requires the use of the game menu to activate it, but Akatsuki has train it enough to call forth the technique with her body movements alone.

Her presence dissipates from her body clad in black, as if her life force itself is gone. The 'presence' of Akatsuki right now is very vague.

Akatsuki don't know her location, but she can see the attack from the demon blade clearly from her fixed field of vision. Akatsuki is exposed in the dangerous front of the attack, but there is another Akatsuki watching from another position. Her 'movement' is at the level of 'shadow burrowing', her separated life force advance in a straight line on the battlefield.

Akatsuki dodge past the ice storm like attack of the mass murderer.

The body that looks like Akatsuki and Akatsuki's consciousness are in different places.

The evidence is the shining body of Akatsuki and swaying in the ice storm, negating all attacks like illusions.

Akatsuki reaches the back of the mass murderer enduring the overwhelming sense of acceleration.

She can't keep this up much longer.

She can only activate this special skill by holding her breath and calming her heart. The skill used for infiltration mission or escaping from monsters are forcibly applied on the battlefield. This is the overskill Akatsuki learned.

...Boring.

Akatsuki wields her blade like a sparrow.

The sudden attack behind cuts into the throat of the mass murderer slightly. Even attacking with the illusion just now, he still manage to evade a fatal hit, the demon blade is formidable indeed.

...Boring.

Akatsuki did not feel the joy of achieving her wish. She stopped her breath and activate 'shadow burrow' again. The shadow copies that appears immediately confuse the mass murderer and help Akatsuki evade the triple strike and leap backwards.

Large icicles forms with the strike, Akatsuki ignores the flying ice attack and continue to accelerate, dancing on the blade of the mass murderer.


8th November 2011


I have written till this point!

<TL: anyone can confirm the English name of Akatsuki's moves?>
