Gosh dang, I really shouldn't be doing these things right after I wake up. Fixed now.


@xrick: tsunade is right, there's been no new chapters.

Volume 10's cover

Gaiden's cover Why didn't they ask Sasarai to do the art...? *mumblegrumble*

Spoiler for CM (narrated by Momonga and Albedo =3)::

[DQueenie13]

Who is Sasarai?


Also, profiles; take the translations with a grain of salt, they are by me, after all:

Spoiler for Nyanta, the Gentlemanly Cat Overlooking the Youths:

Source: http://tounomamare.com/archives/1063

• Level: 92
• Subclass: Chef
• Race: Werecat
• HP: 12003
• MP: 9688

(I didn't translate any of their personal descriptions, since I'm pretty sure they're nothing new.)

Item 1: Flash Lindworm

A pair of Phantasmal-class rapiers created from the White Dragon <Lindworm>, which were incarnated into meteor and lightning. It is characterized by its overwhelming attack power and gleaming white blade. When the damage markers are set off, it creates a beautiful effect.

“It’s offensive capabilities are outstanding, but the repair cost is quite steep, nya.”

Item 2: Decorum of Duel

Elegant white gloves with a beautiful luster made from the “fourth-ranked Nue skin” of the <Thunder Beast Nue>. It provides an excellent grip and increases critical rate, as well as a significantly improving accuracy. It is also suitable at formal places.

“Gloves make a gentleman, nya.”

Item 3: Gentleman’s Silver Watch

A silver watch and chain, with a columbine flower relief on the lid. In the language of flowers, it means “Determined to win.” At a low chance, it can multiplex the main Swashbuckler skill <Early Thrust>. Gentlemen cats are also always punctual, nya.

“It can also be used for cooking, nya.”

For Eins, my translation for the third item is largely guesswork. If someone could double-check it, I'd appreciate it. Although in all honesty, all my translations need double-checking.

Spoiler for Eins, the Founder of an Enormous Guild:

Source: http://tounomamare.com/archives/1105

• Level: 90
• Race: Human
• Class: Kannagi
• HP: 10154
• MP: 10241

Item 1: Spirit Bow, Queen of the Night

A Phantasmal-class bow from the <Golden Case of Romatoris> that can fire talismans in the place of real arrows. It provides no offensive support and is instead used for healing and supporting allies. Due to the technical skill required, it’s difficult to use it.

“Supporting allies is one of the main roles of a Kannagi. It’s not difficult.”

Item 2: Chilled Eye Mask

By equipping it when you go to sleep, this cooled eye mask provides quick relaxation and grant a very slight HP recovery bonus. According to Eins, wearing this regularly will also increase one’s intelligence. Shiroe and Roderick also use this item often.

“A high-level ice skill is used to cool this.”

Item 3: Roderi-tan Fairy Mark DX

By combining an Artifact-class recovery potion with <Tears of the Azure Dragon>, Rod Labs created a potent nutritional supplement (which I guess tastes like pineapple). Roderick gave it to him under pretense of a sample, but if too much is taken too quickly, it’ll make the consumer feel like they’re having a hangover.

“It tastes like pineapple, but there’s no pineapple in it.”

Spoiler for Iselus, Future Duke of Maihama:

Source: http://tounomamare.com/archives/1108

• Level: 9
• Race: Human
• Occupation: Maihama's Young Prince
• HP: 899
• MP: 449

Item 1: Rainbow Four-Leaf Bookmark and Quill Pen

Stationery gifted to him on his birthday by his father, Feynail, and the knights of the Glass Greaves. Then pen was made from the feather of a Griffon, and increases writing speed. The bookmark is made from a dried clover with seven colors, and has become a reading necessity.

“As a noble, I like both the pen and the sword!”

Item 2: Young Dew Jacket

The jacket is colored like the dew on young grass. It was woven with high-quality silk and is abundantly decorated with embroidery. For most children, it would be uncomfortable to wear, but Iselus wears it with pride.

“I got this from grandfather.”

Item 3: Handmade Brooch of the Scarlet Coat

A brooch with a salvia flower pressed inside. In the past, he made one with Sarariya and Rayneshia, and each of them are identical. It is customary to wear it during family celebrations and gatherings, and has become a symbol throughout Eastal of the harmonious relationship between brother and sister.

“It matches big sister’s!”

I'll get to the Gaiden ones eventually, unless someone else beats me to them. So far they have Kushi Yatama and some other Guardian(?) from DDD.

S/He did the original character illustration for Kushi Yamata and also this adorable Nureha doujin =3

Is there any translation for K.R. profile ? Especially his equips.

Spoiler for A skilled man who feigns innocence, KR!:

• Race: Elf
• Class: Summoner
• Level: 90
• HP：8476
• MP：12714

Item 1: Scorpius Cane

Under the protection of the constellation of insight, Scorpius, cooldown time for skills is reduced. It can also provide a special buff on an ally that reduces the enemy's crit rate on them, which is very useful for raids.

Item 2: Nest of the Abyss Demons
A long staff with a lantern at the end, which contains the tears from <El Raida of the Fifth Prison>. Along with increasing casting speed, it can also buff non-healing phantasmal beasts, but that use is extremely limited (since they seem to mostly be healing types).

Item 3: Cotton Hammock
A portable bed knitted from fine-quality cotton that is stronger than it looks. It is best-suited for taking a nap while basking under the sun. However, it's really only designed for one person.

The last line of the third item is something I can't really understand in full. It's something about breaking, and stomachs.

Also, in his personal description, it mentions that during the Tea Party days, KR often encouraged Kanami's recklessness ... and Shiroe's ulcers.

[FRS]

Thanks for the translation DQueenie

[DQueenie13]

Here's another one.

Spoiler for Isaac, the leader of Akiba's warriors, the Black Sword Knights:

Source: http://tounomamare.com/archives/1110

• Level: 94
• Race: Human
• Subclass: Gladiator
• HP: 15471
• MP: 7761

In the real world, he has been in construction since he was young, and has seen the hardships of earthquake reconstruction.

Item 1: Round Table Uniform

A uniform designed for the members of the Round Table Alliance after its establishment. Isaac’s has modifications to the collar and the trousers. Although there were various opinion about when to wear the uniform, Isaac is in surprisingly high spirits about wearing it.

“Well, I shouldn’t worry about wearing something so nice, right?”

Item 2: Experimental Elbow Piece

An elbow piece made from Phantasmal-class material that Shiroe’s group brought back from <Abyssal Shaft>. Its full abilities are incomplete, but its reduction of cooldown time has been confirmed. It is a recent innovation of Akiba’s researchers and craftsmen.

“It’s strong.”

Item 3: Small Chibi Origami Frog

An origami frog that Iselus gave to Isaac as gifts after learning how to make them from Rezarick. Iselus has now become interested in origami, and the side of his desk is now decorated with his creations as well as some of Isaac’s <Decent Chibi Origami Frogs>.

“Mine is probably strong.”

Hi, there wasn't a fanfiction thread for this but does anyone know what Sword Saint sub-skill does? I'm making an SAO x Log Horizon Crossover and I'm trying to word it so that it allows a swordsman to use his blades with as much efficiency as before, despite debilitating effects. In videogame terms, I'm guessing no dexterity loss despite being injured by, let's say impalement.

Honestly, I don't think there has ever been details given about the subclass. All that's really known is that Souji and Takayama Misa have it, so I'm inferring that the subclass isn't actually locked to using swords.


On an unrelated note, the latest Mamare Wednesday had interviews with Mamare and Yamane (author of the gaiden). If nobody beats me to it, I'll try my hand at translating it.

Also, there will be a new spin-off manga series featuring on B's-LOG COMICS (the same place where Nyanta's Fortune Recipes is published) titled Kanami, Go! East!. Three guesses to who it focuses on. It will debut with the next chapter of NFR on October 1.

Last of volume 10's profiles.

Spoiler for Henrietta:

Source: http://tounomamare.com/archives/1113

• Level: 90
• Race: Human
• Subclass: Accountant
• HP: 9696
• MP: 9845

Henrietta’s father was a brilliant, sharp-eyed stock trader and a workaholic. Her mother praised him all the time to Henrietta, which caused her to like those kinds of men as well. As a result, she acquires a romantic interest in Shiroe.

Item 1: Clockworks Archery

A medium-sized compound bow created from the parts of <Clockwork> monsters and incorporated with a transformation mechanism. It has high accuracy, plays cover songs by tone, and expands the range of cover songs.

“It provides excellent coverage as long as it’s maintained regularly.”

Item 2: Prudence~Lilac

A lilac skirt filled with a gentle fragrance. It withstands the cold and the fragrance reduces the effect of the abnormal state Confusion. Although it is a Production-class item, it has become high-performance defensive gear since expensive materials were provided by the friendship guild, <Crescent Moon Alliance>.

“I’m getting to an age where I can’t wear miniskirts anymore…”

Item 3: Diva’s Secret

A pale sakura-pink nail polish. The status of a Bard’s weapon and instrument is raised, and the wearer gets a bonus while playing music or singing. Its modest color has made it popular with all girls, not just Bards.

“Would its strong adhesive ability be useful for fletching?”

Also, Hara posted this image to promote volume 10's release in five days.

Ah the "uppgraded" design of Henrietta is great !

[Twi]

I thought she was a bard?

[DQueenie13]

She is. Her subclass is Accountant. And Bards can use weapons, too.

[Twi]

Yeah, but I always thought that was spears and swords. I didn't know bows were an option.

[DQueenie13]

Their usable weapons:

One-handed Weapons
Musical Instruments
Some Two-handed Weapons
Short Bow
Long Bow

Takayama Misa, another Bard, uses a scythe (with ... not the best results in volume 7). Enkaatanto, the really round Werecat in Silver Sword, has drums. Pianississimo in the same guild also uses bows.

[Sheba]

First volume will be released in France the 26th of November!

I am getting really worried of the lack of updates for the rest of the series....we need only more or less 5 volumes left to finish it.....It is just that after adapting 2/3 of the story as an animation it would be a shame not to finish it now.
