  And although last, I also hope that everyone who has read my books to continue from last year and stay with me this year as well!

  May the year 2010 become a greater year for every one of you as well.

  ↑ Microtubules is the English word given in furigana, while the kanji beneath it reads as "microtubular structures". Also, the same term is used in Volume 9 of Sword Art Online, when describing "Fluctlights".

  ↑ Here, Fuuko is presumably calling Kuroyukihime by a nickname based on her currently unknown real name. Following the pattern of Chiyuri's nickname for Takumu "Takkun", it most likely combines the beginning of her name which starts with "Sach-" with the suffix "chan".
