The Translator's Afterword

My second translation is done.

What can I say, it's too short! The plot has barely progressed from the first chapter. Still, this book is about food, of which there is plenty :). It should be noted that this should not be read—let alone translated—on an empty stomach.

Well, let's get to the statistics.

Total char count: 864,883

Total word count: 151,266

Given that the average length of a single volume of light novels is 50,000 words (according to Wikipedia), that’s roughly like three volumes.

The number of all characters (excluding some non-essential ones, such as guards): 21

Mentions of the characters in the text: 15,295

Ten of the most mentioned characters:

1. Rin: 8,174

2. Ville: 2,583

3. Aria: 1,090

4. Gomamiso: 718

5. Xenon: 576

6. Ed: 559

7. Campy: 249

5. Aria: 1,893 (She's really not saying much)

6. Guildmaster: 979

7. Sheila: 719
