Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 5, Afterword

Volu 5, Afterword

To the readers who bought each book from the first volu on, it's been a while.

To the brave souls who bought all five books at one go, nice to et you.

I'm Kamachi Kazuma.

This volu is a collection of short stories. In terms of structure, this volu has the content posted on Dengeki HP (heavily modified) and three new stories. The ti flow in the story itself is already slow, and this volu is the slowest of them all. Overall, I spent 5 volus writing about sumr.

In this story, there's no specific magic keyword or female protagonist that the story revolves around; it's revolved around the day August 31st in Academy City. Since it's a collection of short stories, I have to do sothings that I can't normally do. So I let a certain character beco a protagonist and added so hidden thes that link the story together (for example, making Misaka an urban legend among bystanders), and I had fun with it.

Actually, there's a lot of stories that are suitable for this collection of short stories. For example, Index and Stiyl's past, Kamijou and Aogami Pierce and Komoe-sensei's past, Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko's past. But for this volu, I'll leave it as secrets. If there's a chance in the future, I'll tell these stories next ti.

Haimura-san, who's in charge of the illustrations, and Miki-san, who's in charge of the project; thank you for taking care of for so long. I'll like to thank both of you in this volu. I'm really grateful for it.

Finally, I like to thank the readers. This immature Kamachi is able to write 5 volus thanks to everyone's support. I'm really grateful for it.

Then, as I remain grateful that this book has earned your affection, I hope that it can add on so entertainnt in your life.

At this point, allow to set my pen aside.

Oh yes. Right now, the oldest female protagonist is Komoe-sensei...is that really alright?

Kamachi Kazuma.
