Happy New Years! And welcome, Lionel!

Happy New Years everyone! Hope that 2013 will be a great year for all of us. Any new years resolutions, anyone?

With the coming of the new years, I'd like to welcome a new translator, LIONEL to the team. You may or may not have noticed, but he was responsible for the translation of the release just now of [No Hero] 1.6- Stand Up Hero! (part 1/2). So send the gratitude and love and cookies his way. :)

Also, I had originally hoped to get that surprise I mentioned ready in time for new years, but since I'm back to work now, it's going to take a bit longer than I had hoped. It'll  be a little secret project going on brewing in the shadows until I get some time to finish it up.

Hope everyone will have a great time in 2013! :)

[No Hero] 1-6: Stand Up Hero! (part 1)

 Dear Father,

You had once told me that when the master is wrong, discreetly reminding him of this is also a butler’s duty.

However, when even I cannot determine what is right or wrong, what should I do?

“Tell the situation to the young master, then let him choose his own answer.”

I found the answer in the notebooks you left behind. Thank you, my venerable father.

"In the end he wasn't a true hero……"

Even though I would not rely on heroes, I still considered heroes to be a wonderful existence. Everyone who had watched an old superhero movie would know that heroes would fall, but they would always stand up once more. This was the most captivating point about heroes: they would always stand up again and give the world hope from amidst despair.

However, Dark Sun had fallen--and left despair behind.

"Briar!"

Tencha appeared almost mad, constantly calling out for Briar. I think that that was probably the girl's name. If it weren't for the three bodyguards that had simultaneously grabbed him, perhaps he would have long since jumped down from the building to look for her.

"Captain, please don't be like this. Our brothers have already run down to look."

"Calm down!"

Although this was what a few bodyguards had yelled, their expressions were not the slightest bit calm, only filled with despair. Vale's eyes were even red, and he was only just slightly calmer than Tencha.

Clack!
