Whom ever is interested and is able to read Japanese, here is the first half of the story which is posted on the author's website.

Looks as if Col left on a trip and their daughter had followed him.

Whew, I was really scared there for a bit!

Now... make Lawrence immortal so that he can be with Holo forever!

The translation within the link is actually a ruse as far as I can say reading the first half in which I provided.
The starting of the story is about Holo's funeral and then it goes back to a time when Col had just just left on a journey and Laurence was busy taking care of the daily chores at the inn 10 years after the ending of the novel.

Have you read the second half yet? Hrm, guess I should recheck all this...

Anyway I've translated all of the Spring Log chapter in hope to spark up a conversation, as close to the original as I could.

What do you guys think of it? The funeral part was a bit annoying. I kindda wish they tell more give us more about the hardship raising her daughter, and not just skip 10 years just like that.

So Holo alive or not?

Yes, go read it.

I'm not sure if I can paste the link for the translation here or not.

Thanks for translation.

Please don't.

New chapter of Spring Log is out.
Here is web version of first part.
Regarding magazine version, I only found this one pic, so far:

One new illustration was found!

電撃文庫 - 2016年9月刊

a) 18th Vol:
It will be "Spring Logs" that is after story of SaW and is discussed from few pages here. It's currently published in magazine (it's also posted on Spice and Wolf web page) and so it's still incomplete. First chapter was translated but we can't post links here, for second one we will have to wait since there's no translation available yet.
b) As for sequel look two posts above yours. It would be about Cole and Mayuri.
Both 18th vol and 1st Vol. of sequel will be released in September in Japan.

Well by original description, she is "a tomboyish but a very diligent girl who loves mischief".:D
