Volu 7B, Afterword
Okay, that was Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon VII-B.
I believe a book ca out recently that said the next part would be the “final part” in the first part’s Afterword, but who wrote that again? Oh, right. It was eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Sorry. I thought I might try being Ujiteru for a mont since that’s so close to my hotown. Anyway, I write the afterword for each book when the first manuscript is done, but I had already finished writing Part B and was thinking about starting on the final part at the ti, so I ended up writing that. If anyone overlooked there being a Part B and skipped straight to Part C, I’m really sorry. Not that they’d be reading this here.
Anyway, Part B takes place in the middle of the Kantou Liberation and it has the debut battles for a lot of people, but my image for this “just before sumr break to the end of sumr break” period is when all the upperclassn retire from the sports teams and the younger players start rising to the forefront and learning how hard that can be.
Like I’ve said before, there’s a different feel to the Warring States period commanders between the early stages and the late stages. If you think of Nobunaga as from the early stages and Ieyasu as from the late stages, then Hashiba’s era falls in the middle and I think you can kind of see that as the sumr break created by the absence of Nobunaga as a teacher to show them how to fight in the Warring States period.
If this is a ti for sports, clubs, and free ti for Hashiba and the others, then I think this would be the ti when people retire and when Ieyasu cos forward to sweep aside the old generation and create a new one.
Anyway, the chat.
“Okay, let’s keep bragging about cris like before. Last ti was pretty bloody, so let’s not do that this ti. Keep it cheerful.”
“Hmm. There’s a huge the park in Tokyo’s colony, right? That one where a beast lives.”
“Yes, there is.”
“Right? Well during high school, we went there not for a field trip but for our third year orientation and I was at the age where I liked to make a show of how boring I found everything.”
“Is there any point in showing off your boredom in a beast’s kingdom?”
“Well, that aside, I was wandering around with the unpopular group when we saw a dancing dog, right? So we all captured it, did the butterfly with it, and threw it in the lake. Long story short, the school stopped taking people to the beast’s kingdom after that.”
“How can you describe sothing so shocking in so few words?”
He never does anything good. Now, my background music this ti was DJ Noriken’s Neonlights. It feels like forever since I’ve listened to Beatmania music. My friend and I used to slap that thing like a couple of monkeys. But this ti, I’ll ask this:
“Who was holding themselves the most?”
Next ti it really is the last part, so wait just a little longer.
