Log Horizon Book 4 Afterword

Added line 67 to Book 3 afterword.


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

I am grateful for your purchase of Log Horizon 4 The end of the game Part 2, the story is the 2nd part of the previous volume, Log Horizon 3 The end of the game Part 1, concluding all the stories from the previous month! part 2 is the same as part 1, with plenty of wonderful contents.

As usual, the afterword of Log Horizon will be a long story about Mamare(younger sister), (this fact has now been revealed official!). But it is not like a report this time.

Actually, my family found out.

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha has published for 8 months, I have not said a word about it, but I have been discovered by my relatives.

Uncle ask :"Eh, is it a publisher like Iwanami Shoten?" which almost made me collapse. No it isn't, it is not this type of academic or theoretical books, it is lighter reading materials. The light doesn't mean illumination or correct. Wait, it doesn't mean flight either okay? Besides, my family is brother and sister, not brothers. (TL: Light, Right and Wright is pronounced the same in Japanese.)

How should I say this, I mean light, the intonation needs to be lighter, it is closer to margarine instead of butter, something that is vegan and low in calories.

Allow me to withhold the contents of my works, it is definitely not something shameful... Mamare defends in a one sided manner.

This came into light because my middle schooler nephew point this out directly during a family meeting. It was exposed through twitter, I leaked so much local info out there, no wonder I have been discovered. As an old boy of St Francis kindergarten, I want to teach him some lesson on keeping quiet. But he is also one of the readers that I am grateful to have, Mamare falls into a dilemma.

The relatives interrogated the Mamare who is trapped this way.

"What type of books are you writing?"

"Can it be brought in bookshops?"

"You didn't get conned right?"

"Should we distribute some to our neighbors?"

"Buy me ice cream."

They actually tortured a NEET this way.

I didn't do anything wrong, why do I need to listen to my relatives teaching so obediently? Because I have kept it a secret until now. But I didn't mean to hide it from them... it, it is because no one ask so I didn't say, please don't take this the wrong way! Mamare acted like a Tsundere for no reason, falling into chaos.

Mamare(younger sister) surprised me.

Mamare(younger sister) said in a straight face "I already knew."

Why sister? Since you know you should have told me right?

According to her, she discovered when a book sample was delivered here, I thought she didn't noticed.

As for Mamare(younger sister)...

Thank you for your supportive review 'It's about a virgin main character flirting with big breast girls'. Thanks to you, the relative interrogation session became a public execution. This fantasy process is like the king of home renovation, the expert renovation moved Mamare to tears.

I am unable to forget uncle words :"Could it be that you still are..." Did he think Mamare is a magician? Be careful or you will make me cry.

Mamare(younger sister) unexpected attack left me on the brink of death.

That's why we bicker on the way home after the family meeting is over.

"Stupid brother is stupid", "Your taste in shoe is horrible", "hikikomori", "Change the fridge at home" etc, she didn't show any mercy.

Mamare(Younger sister) was such a cute kid, shouting "Brother! Brother! This is delicious!" as she ate the whole bag of red ginger (mass produced package from a snack store in Okachimachi 2nd street); Not long ago she thought Childish means unpopular and lonely; even though she sing Doramon's song in the toilet.

Since she knew, I ask her casually if she wants a copy of Log Horizon. She gives me a condescending look and says :"No need, I already brought one." Hence, I forgave her.

But this sister is so infuriating.

Let's leave the topic of Mamare's family meeting to a side for now and focus on Log Horizon 4.

This book is about the battles against the attacks of the goblins and sahuagins on Sand Leaf peninsula. The beginner party with Minori and Touya who has been working hard the previous volume continues to shine! Shiroe who danced in an elegant place like a ball also show his capabilities!

This world is full of things that don't go our way, so we must do what we can to achieve our goals, to do what we believe is right, that is the theme of this volume. You might not get the result you want, that is why you have the freedom to give it your all. In other words, this is an expression of self indulgence. The beginners and the people in Akiba gave it their all.

The 4th volume also made me feels I need to give it my all.

The equipment of each character featured at the beginning of each chapter, is also the results of fan submission during July-August of 2011.
