This seems to have come in from the left field, with no advance notice.
J-Novel has translated the first chapter of the Arifureta After Stories, a continuation of the main series after their arrival in Japan on Earth.
They are not call After Stories on the novels cover, just the 14th volume of the main series, but they are clearly the novelization of the first after story.
So a thumbs up to the author and J-Novel for making this happen.

Think we are getting close to the end of volume 14 on the chapter releases. This chapter takes place at Christmas at Tokyo Disneyland. Hajime brought Liliana over from Tortus in the previous chapter for Christmas vacation.
Thinking volume 15 will move on from the transition events, and we will get to see our stars start taking out the garbage on Earth. (Not trash day).
