Although this work has been serialized in "SF Magazine" and "Novel HAYAKAWA Hi!", when it was officially published, several parts of the original manuscript were revised.In addition, in terms of military technical visits, I was fortunate to have the assistance of friends with professional knowledge.Because of his status, it is inconvenient to disclose his surname, so I can only take this opportunity to express my gratitude.In addition, Ms. Inoue Yumiko and her friends who are commonly known as "admirals" have put in a lot of hard work in making the world map after the big reversal, and I would like to express my deep gratitude here.


Translator's language: Tanaka's original work can only be regarded as a rough rough stone.And OVA polished this rough stone to be dazzling and charming.Uncle Tian didn't dig out the basic love combination of Asbaru and Kilford far enough.In the OVA back then, the first encounter between the two on the battlefield was so thrilling, but the first encounter between the two in the novel was an ordinary high-level wrangling meeting.In addition, at the end of the OVA, when Long Wei left Taidomeca, the Olympus system he carried left people with endless reveries.In the novel, the relevant plots of the Olympus system can be regarded as tasteless.It can be said that the OVA left me with too much to say, which is the motivation for me to complete the translation today.Although compared to the OVA, the novel is inevitably a bit disappointing.But that doesn't stop me from loving this work.

Seven Urban Tales was published in 1990. Except for the last chapter, Buenos Sundi Re-Strike Battle, the rest of the chapters have been serialized in magazines. 1990 was the time when the first part of Arslan's War was completed, and at the same time Tanaka also began to write the second part of Summer Magic's Song of the Window Bar Night and the Secret of the Globe.For Tanaka, this is likely to be a busy year, so the finale of Shichitoshi is a bit hasty.And 4 years later, Tanaka wrote another chapter on a whim.After that, the work was silent for 12 years.Finally, last year, that is, in 2006, the collection of short stories of the seven cities jointly completed by Kazumi Ogawa, Mori Fukuto, Nobuyoshi Yokoyama, and Yuto Ramon was finally published.

The quality of this work far exceeds everyone's expectations.Kazumi Ogawa describes the "Battle of Gibraltar", which revolves around the ownership of the canal in the Strait of Gibraltar, and Morifuku's touching story "The Secret History of the Disaster of the Siob Krebas", which is a touching story between a protagonist with a special background and an ordinary youth who supports the protagonist, Nobuyoshi Yokoyama, who is good at overhead military themes, completed the siege and hunting around submarines "Deep Sea Ghost", and "Secrets of Super Conventional Weapons Development" written by Luomen Yuto, who also specializes in overhead military themes.They are all excellent short stories.

Looking at these works, I don't know how Uncle Tanaka will feel, is he secretly pleased that the hole he dug back then is still remembered?Or do you sigh to yourself for your laziness?I have no way of knowing, but I only hope that with the silent efforts of these authors, this buried rough stone can be reborn from Nirvana again one day.
