Level. 14+ Things Cannot Remain the Same

'level. 14+ Things Cannot Remain the Same' (相変わらずではいられない, Aikawarazu de wa irarenai) is the continuation of volume 14. Despite being the 'fifteenth' volume of the Hai to Gensō no Grimgar light novel series, it is not volume fifteen. That volume is made up of 3 short-stories which were originally released with a DVD set and one new story following Ranta's adventure at around the same time as the event of Level. 14.

For the English print release, Seven Sea chose to combine Level. 14+ and 14++ into one volume called Level. 14.5, which uses Level.14+'s cover for the front cover and 14++'s for the back cover.
