CNET, you are GOD!!! wait I take that back, Haruhi is god (I prefer Yuki to be honest), therefore I can only give you the next best thing, you are now a demi-GOD!!!

but since you're giving us Haruhi, wouldn't that make you more of a messenger of God?

A Pope?... NO... a Prophet... HAIL Prophet CNET!!! (Kidding lol)

So much epic and win in the Volume 10 teaser... so should I call this chapter 4 or chapter 1, it's gonna feel slightly strange not having to read a prologue.

Cnet when you get your hands on the full novel, do you intend to translate & release it chapter by chapter or release the full novel?

Spoiler for Alien Politics:

As for the political situation the IDSE, I remember there being more then 2 factions form Volume 7, maybe the domainant faction is collection of smaller factions that agree to be more conservative while Asakura is apart of the minority of the remaining collection of factions, Nagato being somewhere in between.

Why does the IDSE seem so democratic, we have no idea if there are elections within the IDSE or if the factions change (I liked to say "Over time") but since they can manipulate and control time, the IDSE factions could also be static but who knows?

This is going into more speculative side but assuming the IDSE represent a more democratic regime, the Canopy Domain may represent a different form of government (is that the right word?) maybe representing Communism or a Monarchy or something entirely different

I can See Kyon doing almost anything to protect/save his nakama (So One Piece LOL),

Now I'm even more curious how the Alpha world plays a role.
