Vol 6 Epilogue (2/2)

”I have matters at the lab too Jeane-chan No, John should be waiting there for me”

”John?”

I asked Kili in surprise

”Yes, so give uys out, so it's not like you have a probleht?”

Kili shrugged and asked everyone

”Indeed, it is true that Kili-san helped us immensely We will take you to the research lab”

Mitsuki accepted Kili's request despite a reluctant expression

”However, is it really okay for us to return just like that? The redrasil's main body and roots are still there”

Firill looked out the back —at the western sky—and said

Ariella nodded and agreed with Firill

”I'ht it up, I'h Tia has seized control rights to Yggdrasil's core, but what happens next?”

Hearing this question, Kili shrugged

”Tia has becodrasil Although I still don't kno much of that power she is able to control At least, there's nocontrolled”

Hearing her say that, Ren looked reassured

”Thank goodness”

Ren said quietly, staring at my face

”Onii-chan, is it okay now?”

”Yeah, the feeling has returned to my left arm It should be able to move freely once the cast is taken off”

I nodded at Ren and rotated my left arm to show her

”Mmmm”

Perhaps because htly

”Tia?”

I called her nahtly

”Yuu?”

Tia stared blankly at my face

”Yeah, it's me”

I nodded in response Showing an expression like she was still in a dream, she said:

”Yuu Tia saw drasil, but al”

”That's fine Tia, you just need to remember that you're Tia No need to force yourself to remember”

I stroked Tia's soft hair and tried entle tone

It was iine how massive the volu out a hacking attack against Yggdrasil's gigantic rasp of all that infor normally

”But There seee that ”

”Even if that's the case, there's no need to rush Rest properly and wait until you regain your energy”

”Yeah”

Tia nodded uneasily but at this

”—Oh, I just re”

Tia said and tears flowed out of her eyes

”Eh? W-What's wrong?”

I asked her frantically Tia ihtly

”What Yggdrasil did to Yuu Tia saw it So many, soso much”

Hearing Tia whisper quietly in asp

Iris and the other girls atching Tia who had suddenly started crying

Then only loud enough for me to hear, Tia continued:

”Don't worry, Tia will return the memories—back to Yuu”

Badump, my heart pounded intensely

What I felt at this moment was not ”Mononobe Yuu's” joy of possibly recovering the past, but my current self's—

Fear, not knowing how e

Afterword

This is Tsukasa By the time I noticed, 6 volumes have already been released With so many scheduled trips this summer, it feels kind of like time went past in a flash

Getting invited to take part in a Taiwan event wasthe country ever Since I've never even taken a plane before (I apparently took a flight once in my childhood, but it doesn't count since I don't re felt so fresh

Oh h that's only logical, seeing the scenery tilt for real and the ground gradually getting far away, it's truly breathtaking for me

Sure enough, there arethem

I originally thought that Tokyo's summers were very hot, but Taiwan is even hotter It nantly that I've really arrived in a different country Then my next surprise was the nuhts showed seconds to countdown There were so much scenery I wouldn't normally see

But when I came to an anied inside There was even an extra large poster of Fafnir!

The event was so crowded and bustling it was like a doujinshi+ fair in japan, especially the lively at people And all the readers attending the Fafnir autograph session were very enthusiastic and welco I had a very happy time there

Oh, this is totally a Taiwan trip report, or more like a ”summer vacation reflection” (sweats)

I was very bad at writing picture diaries or book reports for summer vacation back in school, so I'm not confident whether I can write these kinds of reports in an interesting way Anyway, I would be deeply honored if I succeeded in letting you feel htly

Then after returning to japan, every day was extre a doujinshi+ fair or having s for the anime

That's right The ani step by step! Recently, theani January, please check out the book band for this volume to see the details

My feelings are so siht

While on a flight, I kept looking at the screen showing the altitude, speed, temperature and current location I felt a sense of surreal elation at the situation of flying 9000 meters in the air at almost 800 kilometers per hour

It was a floating, restless feeling, perhaps it ht be easier to describe it this way

Amidst this massive project of an ani at immense speed across the sky and afraid to look ”outside”

But it's a loss if you take a plane without looking out the , so I intend to enjoy things properly, doing everything I can, working hard to create a good product, so please show your support

Also, Fafnir's azine, is currently entering the climax of the Leviathan battle Leviathan is super ia's first volume will be released for sale at the same time as the novel's sixth voluether
