Official Description
I don’t want to be a hero&mdash;

When a certain Adventurer revisits the location of an event from five years ago, it has now become the stuff of a tale passed down through the span of half a century.

To commemorate these heroes who saved this city from a crisis, stone statues of "Sir Nowtsugu" and "Sir Shiroe" now stand all throughout the place, much to the bafflement of the two.

"I am not a hero like Sir Shiroe or Sir Naotsugu..."

Trivia

 * The novel's title shares the same (Japanese) name as the Log Horizon mobile game.
 * Tomomi Ozaki (尾崎智美), the novel's illustrator, also illustrated the Log Horizon TRPG Replays.
 * In the novel's synopsis, "Sir Nowtsugu" has Naotsugu's name written out in katakana (ナオツグ) rather than kanji (直継) like it is normally written, suggesting the carver did not know how to spell his name.
 * The novel was originally slated for a September 30, 2019 release alongside Collapse of the Round Table, but was delayed for over a year for reasons unknown.
