Toaru Majutsu no Index

Volume 6, Afterword

To the readers who took the huge risk to buy 6 books at one go, nice to meet you.

To the readers who read each book one by one, it's been a while.

I'm Kamachi Kazuma.

It's the 6th volume already. The protagonist, heroine, antagonist, ending, and the story behind the stage; there's a lot of descriptions here that are slightly different from the previous volumes. As for what changed, I'll like the readers to understand it as they read it.

The key magic term here is 'golem'.

This gimmick is like a slime; it's something that appears often in games, thus it gives a feeling that it isn't glamourous, that it shouldn't be considered a final stage boss. However, in History (or what were seen to have existed), the golems were amazing things. It was said that the magic required to create a golem uses the blueprint of how God created Humanity, and only those who fully understood that Kabbalah can use it.

In other words, it's like the Philosopher Stone, basically meaning that 'one can be considered the strongest if the person can create one'. All the golems have a safety feature on it, and once the caster doesn't need it, the caster can easily turn it back into dirt. This is likely how the self-destruct mechanism of the huge robots came about.

Haimura-san, who's in charge of the illustrations, and Miki-san, who's in charge of the project; I really like to thank you two for not abandoning this Kamachi even when you're busy.

Finally, I'll like to thank the readers who bought these books. It's thanks to everyone that this Kamachi can earn a living.

Then now, let me be secretly happy that you liked this series.

And let me secretly hope that you won't abandon this series.

At this point, let me put my pen down.

-In the end, did the Imagine Breaker protect the girl's illusion?
