And with this, all of NT9's black and white illustrations have been colored. Here, Touma protects Othinus and becomes the enemy of the world.

Reading a bit of NT10 and seeing its illustrations made me realize that there is still much sunlight in Denmark by the time Touma and Othinus arrives there, and through their travels the sun slowly goes down. I can only assume by the time Touma meets with Mikoto again the night has fallen. Since they are in Tokyo, Japan here after Othinus restores the world, it can only be possible that this event occurred either noon or later during the day but not before afternoon. So here it is, deprived of any purples and orange, this piece is much more subtle, which I found difficult to do since it isn't as dynamic as the previous coloring I done. What I could only do is to emphasize the sunlight. In my coloring of the final illustration of NT8 I colored it overall orange-gold to mimic Haimura's colored illustration for that novel with Jormungandr. Though it can be forgiven there that it was used for dramatic effect or it was really early morning, and the events of NT8 occurred in a matter of a few hours. It is like an opposite of that illustration. In the NT8 illustration, the clouds cover the sky as the light breaks through it revealing the falling of the night motif in NT9 with the destruction of the world, here, the clouds part from the breaking of the light as a new dawn arises for Touma. What's interesting is that you can collect the illustrations that I colored: Touma-Othinus illustration from NT8, the Touma-Othinus one where he challenges her from NT9, and this one, and see this sunset, night, and dawn thing in there for you deep types. It is kind of profound in a way, and I view it as the maturity of Touma's character throughout this long arc.

Well, I hope I can do NT10 now since I've been doing this thing non-stop for the last 10 days, though it seems that everybody and their mothers have already colored much of them.
