Log Horizon (ログ・ホライズン)

Honesty will be seceding from the Round Table Conference.

Furthermore, we call for founding a new assembly.

Of the Akihabara Government in its entirety.

I cannot. I have responsibilities here.

I won't abandon them.

I've known from the beginning

this would be our fate.

It reached its limit. Our duty is over.

On that day the "Apocalypse" occurred,

trapping us players in a simulated world

just like the one in the game.

Little more than a year has passed,

and under the Round Table Conference's leadership,

Akihabara Adventurers have managed to coexist.

Due to decreasing membership, only eleven reps remain.

Our once solid foundation, quickly became a warped circle.

Barely hanging on by a thread.

The Round Table Conference is coming to an end.

Several weeks before that day.

Back in Akihabara.

Hello, Princess!

Good day, Princess!

Good morning, everyone!

Miss Allie.

Things are quickly changing in Akihabara every day.

And I've noticed that more People of the Land are arriving.

"Lenessia's Marriage."

The issue we're currently facing

in regard to lunar communication,

is the development of electronic circuits

required for a high precision sensor.

So I guess it's not a monetary issue, it's a technical one.

By sustaining communication with the Moon,

the goal is to oscillate between this world

and reality, or rather Earth, right?

But is that even possible? Sounds iffy.

We have no choice but to try, Marie.

A report has come in from D.D.D.

We have finally found a way to communicate with milord.

They found Krusty?

He's now on the continent, right?

To think that he's with Kanami, of all people.

We will be sure to update you on the details

on a later date once we make contact with him.

So, anything left to discuss?

Actually, there is one more thing.

Correct. The results of the Fairy Ring report.

From Honesty.

Hm.

My lord, everything's okay.

Huh?

Thank you, Akatsuki.

Uh, sorry.

Pardon me.

Hey, those are Honesty members, right?

Yes, my lord. They must be worried.

The group hit a complete deadlock after their attempt

to probe the Fairy Ring.

Magical ruins, what we call Fairy Rings,

are the method we use for long-distance teleportation.

You can travel from one ring to the next.

But since they were controlled using a complex timetable,

cheat-sheet sites were a necessity.

Back when this world was just a game.

After the Apocalypse,

we have been unable to check the timetable,

so Honesty took over its investigation.

However, desspite the large sum of money spent,

they achieved zero results.

"Leeches".

I've heard several people refer to them by that name.

But we can't put all the blame

on Honesty's shoulders.

Although...

Mm.

Honesty has been rapidly growing in numbers.

They're taking in deserters from minor guilds

and wandering Adventurers coming to Akihabara.

I think that's also one of the reasons

they're inciting hostility.

As for Eins,

it's likely his motives are about helping the Adventurers

having a hard time adjusting to this world.

Hey! Shiroe!

Guests have just arrived in Akihaba.

My groupies have finally arrived

and Naotsugu is jealous of me!

They're nobles of the People of the Land, right?

They kinda remind me of the Conference of Lords.

The Cowen Family in Maihama bears that coat of arms.

Wow, you actually remember their crest?

Don't forget that I infiltrated Maihama.

It's one of my feminine powers.

Uh? My lord?

Princess!

Elissa. You're very late.

And why aren't you in uniform?

Word from Maihama.

Madam Saraliya has paid you a visit.

It's been a long time. Welcome, Mother.

It appears that your stay here

has been a pleasant one.

You're safe and sound.

I am happy to see it, Lenessia.

Saraliya Tsuleu-Arte Cowen.

So that lady is the mother of our purr-incess?

She is renowned for her talents since her youth.

She is commonly known as the "Pearl of Eastal."

I heard that Lord Serjiad once said that

he secretly wished Saraliya was a man.

Mother has been helping Grandfather

with state affairs since her childhood.

She makes particular use of her talents in diplomacy,

and our people have great trust in her.

Oh, how delicious.

It's black rose tea, ma'am.

Unfortunately...

...I'm called the "Winter Rose of Eastal".

In accordance with my Mother's nickname.

I've heard reports that new trade routes

are being created in each territory

due to the Adventurers' movements.

Air routes are under development as well?

Hm? Oh, you must be talking about the work of

Sir Woodstock of Glendale.

I've been informed that they are delivering letters.

What is your take on the scale and influence

of the Adventurers' businesses?

Please enlighten me with your wisdom.

I know why she asks these things,

but it always makes me nervous.

I wish she understood how it feels to live in her shadow.

I noticed Sir Krusty is not in town,

unless you know something I don't.

No! Is something the matter?

I wouldn't say that.

You'll hear about your engagement in two weeks' time.

Huh?

It was Sir Touri of the Saiguu Family

who requested it personally.

He is the head of the family.

I'm engaged... to be married?

Lenessia.

Y-Yes?

You must prepare yourself so you will have no regrets.

Right.

Elissa?

Yes, I'm here, Princess.

You shouldn't pinch your cheeks like that.

It's not going to make anything better, you know.

You're just torturing yourself for no reason.

Princess. About earlier.

I suppose it's all right, I guess.

I always knew this was going to happen.

Just not this soon.

Of course,

I'm surprised I'm betrothed to the head of the Saiguu Family.

Although, this engagement might actually come

with three meals and a nap this time.

Of all the families in the current Yamato,

the Saiguu Family definitely has the highest status.

I bet their castle is way bigger than ours in Maihama.

Uh... Huh?

You've received many letters, Princess.

Sir Yunoki. I remember him.

He's a merchant in Tsukuba

and wants to have a branch in Akihabara.

Princess Lenessia Erharte Cowen, Maihama Advisor to Akihabara.

I'd like to conduct business here.

Could you introduce me to merchants in Akihabara?

I can pursue my education

if I came to Akihabara!

Well, I want to find a job and settle down

in Akihabara.

I'm prepared to do anything you need, Princess.

Please follow what your heart says.

I think this will be the season for you

to start making your own choices in life.

I wonder.

In just one lifetime,

how many chances do we get to burn with passion?

A child would jump right into conflict.

Without thinking of the consequences,

they may fight with everything they have as if they believe

they were born for this purpose alone.

How many times will they get to experience that?

Most of us will never get to experience that sort of freedom.

Not even one time.

That's why I think it's time for you to do what you want

with your life, Princess.

Whether you decide you want to get married, conduct business,

or fall madly in love and bear lots of children.

I can only imagine what you'll choose.

But when you rode that Griffon under the control

of that wicked man, it turned you into a woman

with the ability to stand up and fight for herself.

I believe in you, Princess.

Whatever obstacles come your way,

I know you can face them.

And I'll be right there by your side if you need me.
