Afterword[]

To the followers of Zero no Tsukaima all around the world, we’ve saved you ready. (That is a global launch) (TN: Each Japanese and Taiwanese variations had been launched on the identical day.)

Presenting to you, ’Zero no Tsukaima 21—The Reality of 6,000 years’. It is a new quantity, 5 years for the reason that launch of the earlier quantity ’Holy Land of Historical Instances’. What’s the destiny of Louise and the others of the ’Austran’ after invading the Elf Capital? Are the runes that appeared on Saito’s chest the engravements of Tiffania’s magic? What’s the true identification of the pope Vittorio, who leads Halkeginia that’s on the point of destruction? What occurred to the founder Brimir and the primary Gandálfr Sasha 6,000 years in the past? The numerous mysterious and sumptuous story will lastly clear up at its very finish.

Most readers might know that Yamaguchi-sensei is now not on this world. This twenty first quantity, and the subsequent one, quantity 22, had been written primarily based on the framework from Yamaguchi-sensei, and thus, I shall clarify how this story was handed over.

Within the afterword of the twentieth quantity, Yamaguchi-sensei talked about, ’the story is anticipated to finish in one other two volumes’. The story was going properly, the climax was at hand, and he wished to do a countdown with all of the long-time followers who supported him. If it had gone to plan, the final quantity might have been revealed a yr later or so, and the preliminary matter again then was on the best way to proceed after this story was written.

When the twentieth quantity was launched nevertheless, Yamaguchi-sensei was recognized with a crucial sickness. The scenario was hopeless, he was initially knowledgeable that even an operation wouldn’t have the ability to save him. With astounding phyiscal energy and battle towards the sickness nevertheless, Yamaguchi-sensei was capable of battle again and no less than delay the surgical procedure. That alone may very well be thought of a miracle.

After the surgical procedure, Yamaguchi-sensei needed to enter and go away the hospital for remedy many occasions. In keeping with Yamaguchi-sensei, the potent remedy he had throughout hospitalization left him feeble, and thus, he needed to anticipate his physique to recuperate throughout his momentary discharge, earlier than being hospitalized once more to devour the potent medication once more.

Despite the fact that he was combating so arduous for his life,

“I need to write such a narrative.”

“I need to write this type of story.”

“I actually, actually have plenty of tales to jot down—”

Yamaguchi-sensei was stuffed with the will to jot down, not solely ’Zero no Tsukaima’ itself, but additionally many story ideas he got here up with.

Nevertheless, the sickness continued to sap away the power and focus he wanted to jot down.

After which, quickly,

“I’ve to complete Zero it doesn’t matter what. I hope that somebody will proceed to jot down it for me.” Sensei mentioned.

From then, the plot was refined, and we regarded into any potential candidates to jot down the story, giving our utmost within the remaining time left.

And with a lot remorse, on April 4th, 2013, after entrusting the work to an creator Yamaguchi-sensei and the editorial department absolutely belief in, Yamaguchi-sensei sadly departed for the afterlife.

We will not reveal the title of this creator. For all of the followers, we hope that you’ll have have any preliminary impressions, and benefit from the story of Zero.

As for the readers who’ve learn this work, Saito and Louise on this textual content stay the identical as earlier than. I didn’t really feel something awkward when studying the preliminary drafts, and it feels as thought Yamaguchi-sensei himself wrote the story. Extra importantly, the story of Zero no Tsukaima stays riveting, heart-thumping and comedic.

It may be impolite to say this, but when Yamaguchi-sensei is to see this,

“That is actually superb! It’s like I wrote it personally. This may be extra attention-grabbing than how I’ll write it, ?”

Certainly, he would jest.

After a very long time, ’Zero no Tsukaima’ is just left with one quantity. The need and promise of Yamaguchi-sensei will lastly be fulfilled. To all of the followers, I hope you’ll proceed to assist this work passionately.
