Book 8: Afterword
[Mobile Temp] Afterword [File 10]
With that, this is Kamachi Kazuma.
Its been a while since a Vampire/Zombie novel, but weve finally reached the 8th one. This ti, we left fictional Kukyou City to visit Japans capital of Tokyo. When I was trying to think up the most obvious landmark and the worst case scenario, the first thing that ca to mind was being trapped in an elevator dangling precariously from Japans tallest broadcast tower.
Im sure soone out there is discussing the worst ways to die right now, but it really is a fruitless discussion. At the sa ti, talking about execution thods is supposed to prevent cri. And a simulator is a way of learning about different forms of doom so it can be avoided or reduced. Wow, that ans daydreaming can protect society. Maybe everything has its uses, but the world is such a strange place.
Also, the the this ti was aliens.
I tried to co up with a reason why aliens with superior technology would co all this way to attack a broadcast tower, so I ended up going with sothing similar to the laser pointer or drones that have beco a familiar nuisance for pilots these days. (Not that being familiar does anything to solve the problem.)
You can actually find a lot of things that could easily be mistaken for UFOs or aliens. I rember that being the biggest surprise when I was doing research for this volu. Humans are such sinful creatures.
As a story, I aid to include sothing as tricky as aliens while still getting back to the basics by making Erika and Ayumi look good while Satori confronted a disaster or conspiracy. The younger sister may have stood out a lot this ti while looking after the weakened older sister. This shows just how many weaknesses Vampires have, doesnt it? They seem to really need so decent urban infrastructure to get by.
For another power balance reversal, you can compare JB and Freischutz to Satori and Maxwell.
The human is more replaceable than the machine, the machine stands at the center, and they act as a group instead of as individuals. And when they sense danger, they will actively cause a disaster to kill their foe in advance.
I put Satoris choice at the very, very end this ti. Responding in kind would be one way of going about this, but how will Satori face this problem? I hope you are looking forward to finding out.
I give my thanks to the image illustrator Mahaya-san and my editors Miki-san, Onodera-san, Anan-san, and Nakajima-san. First, you build up the foundation and then you tear it down. I could not have written this story without having those images of Ayumi an Erika as a foundation. Thank you very much.
And I give my thanks to the readers. This is another away ga after Las Vegas, but how did you like it? By the way, do aliens work for you as a serious topic for horror stories? Just like ghost photographs have beco a thing of the past, I wonder if the developnt and spread of flying cars will leave people unsurprised by UFO sightings. Regardless, I get the impression that fear of unknown technologies is shifting away from being the work of aliens from a far-off planet and toward being the work of earth-made AI societies or unmanned weapons. I just hope they can forever remain in the world entertainnt just like zombies, bloors, and the lost continent of Mu.
And I will end this here.
When the entire family is caught in the disaster togetherdoes it feel too cozy?
