Roxxy: переводы

→-----

→January 2013, Ryohgo Narita

→I hope we can continue like this for a long time!

→I'll do my best to keep working as an author for 20, 30 years.

→At the time of this writing, it hasn't been officially announced, but I will be writing various new works for Dengeki Bunko and some other places as well. Of course I plan to continue 1935 and Durarara!! and my other series, so please keep reading from here on out!

→Thank you very much!

→Once again, it's all thanks to all the editors and all of you who have bought these books.

→I didn't expect my dream to be shot down by my aging-­‐-­‐or maybe my lifestyle, but somehow I'm able to continue as a full-­‐time writer.

→Yes, one month before this book will be released...on February 10th, it will have been 10 years to the day since I debuted! I get nostalgic remembering those days, when I was worried if after 10 years my job as a full-­‐time writer would be enough for me to eat properly. And now, 10 years later-­‐-­‐wait, I'm not eating properly, I have gastritis and acid reflux!

→10 years.

→...While I was writing the above, I remembered.

→By the way, my debut work, right as I was graduating from college, was Baccano!. It's already been 10 years since then. And my injuries are already taking a long time to heal and I get winded from climbing stairs. I'm just going to ignore the possibility that it's a lack of exercise.

→That phrase "over 30" echoed in my head.

→I'm getting old.

→Once, I told my friend, "That's weird, back when I was a student I ate about this much and there were no problems..." My friend said, "Why did you think you would be able to eat the same as a student with a long commute that took 2 hours one way? You're over 30 years old and your body's gotten all slack from holing up and writing books all the time."

→Recently, I've been cursed by the overeating and overdrinking of New Year's, and it's aggravated a stomach inflammation and acid reflux. I'm recovering, but I have a troublesome personality. I think, "Oh, am I better? Okay, well, I'll eat all I want and see if I'm actually better. If I have no problems, that means I've recovered!" and then I eat all I can, and then thanks to overeating and overdrinking I get stomach problems and acid reflux again. I think it's not so much a troublesome personality as it is that I'm an idiot, but even if I see that for a fact, my stomach won't get any better.

→Well, then, let's put aside that explanation that sounds suspiciously like advertising and talk about how I've been recently instead of a proper afterword.

→And I hope you will look forward to watching the characters from that setting get thrown into the tension of 1935!

→This Baccano! is more heavily comedic and its nature is a little different than usual, but I hope you will enjoy the more relaxed, leisurely side of this world as well.

→But I wrote this about 5 years ago. Reading back over it, there were various places where I was embarrassed. But, with the exception of the added "Extra Chapters," it's almost exactly the same as before.
