Toaru Majutsu no Index

Volume 9, Afterword

To the readers who continued to buy the books ever since the first volume was released, it's been quite a while.

To the studious readers who read nine volumes in one go, nice to meet you.

I'm Kamachi Kazuma.

Everytime, I felt that it's like a curveball. This time, it's a curveball as well, and the interesting thing is, what kind of curveball was tossed?

The keywords related to magic here are things that are rather basic. They are 'magic book' and 'magic array,' and these are common terms that were used in the volumes up till now.

The story is set in Daihaseisai — which is an extremely large-scaled sports meet. How do you feel about it? I had nearly forgotten about how a sports day is like, so when I was writing this book, I was worrying about what a sports day would be like as I worked on this book. I'm happy to be able to write something that gives the feeling of a sports carnival.

I'll like to thank these two people for their help: Haimura-san, who is in charge of illustrations, and Miki-san, who's in charge of printing. Without these two people, this work wouldn't be complete at all. I look forward to continuing work with them.

I'll also like to thank all the readers. Without you, it's impossible to produce this work. Please continue to give me feedback and support.

And now, this volume ends here.

I hope you'll continue to read the next volume.

At this moment, let me sign off first.

Come to think of it, who's the main female protagonist this time?
