Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 4 Chapter 3 (section)

===Part 4===

The faraway sky was gradually being colored by rosy clouds.
 
As the fiery-red sun released a soft orange light, Akatsuki brought Miu and Haruka to walk around Erdia’s market.
 
Three days later, they would have to duel. During this period, Akatsuki and the others must stay at Sherfield’s capital Erdia. The current destination for Akatsuki was located at the corner of the market.
 
“…Is it really here?”
 
Miu, who was following behind, anxiously said. Whether it was the surrounding buildings or the pedestrians, it was filled with a distinct atmosphere that was different than the lively and bustling main street.
 
Akatsuki nodded, then casually replied.
 
“There’s no other way, we cannot let others notice our existence. If we select a normal inn, the news will suddenly spread, so we must find a reliable location.”
 
“That is true, but……”
 
Haruka frowned and looked around.
 
“……The security around this area doesn’t seem to be good.”
 
“That is true……”
 
Akatsuki answered with a smile. It couldn’t be helped that Haruka would have this feeling. The three people were currently walking down the famous red light district of Sherfield’s capital Erdia. Only after the sun went down would it reveal its true appearance as the sleepless city.
 
After walking a lengthy distance, the three of them finally reached their destination. Under the sunset, the alley was lined with white walls, only the black building was particular striking.
 
“——We’re here, this is it.”
 
“This is an inn? Although there is a sign hanging above, but……”
 
Within Miu’s tone, there was some doubt. The dark walls made the sign very eye-catching. On the sign, there was the word “Melissa” written in a golden artistic font. Haruka looked at the entrance of the building, and could not help but express her suspicions.
 
“The doormen of an inn are always these big block of people?
 
On the left and right side of the entrance, there stood a muscular and strict black clothed person.
 
Even the tall and slender Akatsuki seemed extraordinarily small when standing in front of them.
 
“They are the doorman and bodyguard, this inn’s service is fully complete.”
 
Akatsuki laughed and directly walked to the two muscular men.
 
“Good work, is the boss here?”
 
The black-clothed people coldly stared at Akatsuki.
 
“——Sorry, it is currently not the operation hours of the store, please come back later at night.”
 
“I’m not a guest, I only wish to visit old friends.”
 
Akatsuki shrugged.
 
“Please inform Melissa.”
 
“I’m sorry, the boss did not explain that a visitor would be coming today.”
 
Although the black clothed person was using polite words, his attitude was extremely stern. The two men took half a step forward, their burly body exuding thick killing intent, apparently wanting to intimidate Akatsuki.
 
However……
 
“……You two are just newcomers that have only recently started to work right?”
 
Akatsuki sighed.
 
“Although following your duties is good……But this type of inflexible mind will easily offend guests.”
 
Feeling reluctant, Akatsuki could only change his strategy.
 
“Please convey to Melissa that Akatsuki came. You can even describe a bit of my appearance, I believe that she will immediately let me in. If Melissa says she does not know me, then throwing me out won’t be too late.”
 
“Sorry, the boss is away.”
 
The black-clothed people were still unmovable.
 
“Then find a person who can make decisions. If I really am an old friend of Melissa, then at the time, the ones that are unfortunate will be you guys. For the sake of your living fees, it might be best to ask.”
 
“……”
 
The black-clothed people glanced at each other.
 
Then one black-clothed person entered the door, while the other remained outside.
 
“……There shouldn’t be an issue right?”
 
The worried Miu whispered beside Akatsuki’s ear.
 
“Relax, it was always like this here.”
 
Akatsuki’s reply made Haruka give a nasty look.
 
“I bet that they treated you as a dangerous individual who does not look like an old friend of the boss.”
 
After saying this, a sudden scream came from behind the door.
 
“——!”
 
Miu and Haruka simultaneously changed the direction of their gaze. The inn’s heavy doors suddenly burst open and a beautiful woman rushed out in panic.
 
“——Akatsuki?”
 
A beaming woman entered their vision. Miu suddenly gasped. Beside her, Haruka also revealed an embarrassed expression. The woman was only wearing shorts, her upper body was completely naked, her appearance very arousing. Although a lock of red hair covered her chest, it still created a considerably exciting visual effect. However, facing the nearly naked beauty, Akatsuki did not budge and raised his hand to greet the other.
 
“Yo, Cecily, how are you recently?”
 
“Ahhhhhhhhh! Akatsuki, it really is you!”
 
The woman named Cecily rushed forward and hugged Akatsuki.
 
The two round meat balls in front of her chest pressed on Akatsuki. Cecily could not conceal her excitement.
 
“Didn’t you return to your own world? Why would……?”
 
“Yes, I did go back. But there was a little private matter that must be handled, so I came back again.”
 
Akatsuki hands wrapped around Cecily’s waist. His tone was extremely calm.
 
“To tell you the truth, there is something I wish to ask Melissa……it can’t be that she’s not around right?”
 
“Melissa went off to buy some stuff, but she should come back soon, come in first before we talk.”
 
After Cecily answered Akatsuki question, she looked at the stunned Miu and Haruka.
 
“These two ladies are……?”
 
“Ah, they are my friends.”
 
“Oh……They are quite cute, mom will be very happy. Come, let us enter.”
 
Cecily pulled on Akatsuki’s arm and was about to enter, but the two black-clothed people blocked the path in panic.
 
“Miss Cecily, please do not randomly bring strangers in.”
 
“If the boss knows that we let them in, she will scold us.”
 
“None of your business, quickly move away. Ranke, Somde<ref name="names">Temporary Name</ref>, you two are still new here, not recognizing is tolerable and forgivable. However, Akatsuki is our benefactor. No one is allowed to be rude to him, or else not just me, but even mother would not let go easily.”
 
Cecily cuddled beside Akatsuki, and gave off a ferocious stare at the two black-clothed people.
 
“If you still refuse to let them go, then I could only act and use mother’s authority to fire you two. That way, there is no reason for you to block Akatsuki. How is it, did you make up your mind yet?”
 
“This……”
 
The black-clothed people’s awkwardness made Akatsuki smile slightly. He reached his right hand and gently rested his palm on Cecily’s head.
 
“Don’t make things difficult for them, they are just trying to do their duties.”
 
“But……”
 
After appeasing Cecily’s discontent, Akatsuki faced the two black-clothed people.
 
“Sorry, I did not mean to make things difficult for you. How about this, let one of you follow us to monitor us, this should be okay right?”
 
“……”
 
The two black-clothed people fell into silence. They absolutely did not expect that Akatsuki, who pushed them to this state, would think for their sakes. After considering for a moment……
 
“……Okay, the three of you please enter.”
 
The black-clothed people finally stepped down and opened up the road.
 
 
 
Behind the door was a dim hallway.
 
…This building was larger than it seems.
 
Miu thought while walking down the hallway that this definitely was not an ordinary inn.
 
However, Miu’s attention was completely focused on Akatsuki and Cecily who were in front.
 
Cecily linked her arms around Akatsuki’s. The joy from the reunion seemed to make her extremely excited.
 
……Aren’t they too close now.
 
A sulking Miu quietly followed behind those two. Melissa wasn’t just the name of the shop, it seemed to also be the name of Cecily’s mother. The purpose of Akatsuki’s trip here seemed to be requesting help from Melissa. Cecily’s appearance was extremely beautiful, so her mother should also be a beauty as well right? Miu finally noticed that the rumors of the Rogue Hero being fond of women were actually true. After walking for some time, Cecily pushed open the doors at the end of the corridor.
 
“It can’t be.”
 
The scene that appeared made Miu dumbfounded.
 
The space at the end of the corridor seemed to be from an entirely different world, a luxurious space that was comparable to a palace hall.  The design and style of the walls, floors and ceilings, even the furnishings such as the red carpet, fresh flowers and flower pots were almost all valuable and high-quality items. Even compared to Erdia’s castle, it would not lose.
 
The three-floor building structure made the interior even more spacious.
 
“This……”
 
Facing this extravagant view in front of them, Haruka was also astonished. She could not even speak a single word.
 
……Wait a minute.
 
Miu suddenly noticed that the second floor and third floor had several doors. Perhaps it is the guest rooms, Miu thought. What emerged out of her mind were luxurious hotel facilities.
 
“Everyone, Akatsuki is back!”
 
Cecily’s voice echoed throughout the building. Then at the next moment.
 
Gacha Gacha Gacha<ref name="door open sound">Sound of door opening(ガチャ)</ref>
 
The doors on the second and third floor almost all opened at the same time.
 
“——?”
 
Miu was suddenly frozen. The people that walked out from the rooms were all young females.
 
Right now it was probably free time, and everyone was resting in their own room. Some people were wearing loose pajamas, some were wearing sexy lingerie, some were only dressed in a towel, and some were even completely naked as well. The common point between these girls was that they were all pretty and young. Once they saw Akatsuki, they immediately stopped their actions. After a brief silence, someone with a trembling voice took the lead.
 
“It can’t be……Is it really Akatsuki?”
 
“Yes, long time no see.”
 
Akatsuki slightly smiled at the females upstairs in order to greet them.
 
The atmosphere immediately shook. The females all issued a shrill scream and rushed to Akatsuki, as if they were trying to be the first one there. After a short period of time, Akatsuki was immediately surrounded by over twenty beauties.
 
“W…What are these people?”
 
Terrified of the momentum of the female army, Miu took a few steps back. Even if they were completely nude in front of Akatsuki, these young females did not seem to care. Akatsuki turned his head around, and replied to Miu’s question.
 
“Didn’t I say it before? While I was staying at Alayzard, I once served as a bodyguard at a brothel.”
 
“Huh……? Then……?”
 
Miu could not help but viciously try to recall. Before, when she was accompanied by Akatsuki, Chikage and Kuzuha while purchasing lingerie, Akatsuki had a fateful situation where he had to help Miu try out her lingerie.
 
“So this place is……”
 
A dizzy Miu took a few steps back, and suddenly bumped into the person behind.
 
“Ah, sorry……”
 
The instant she turned around to apologize, Ousawa Miu’s movements stopped.
 
A hard and firm feeling made Miu think that she had bumped into the black-clothed person who was following behind them. But turning around, the black-clothed person wasn’t at her back.
 
“Uh……! ?”
 
The person Miu bumped into was a male even more burly than the black-clothed person, but his body was wearing a big red female dress. He kept a head filled with long black shiny hair. Miu attempted to treat him as a woman, but she was not able to convince her own conscience.
 
A large and flat round-shaped face, a burly body, even his arms and legs were very thick. He would even win against a giant sumo wrestler’s body, and his eagle-like sharp eyes would absolutely make the children in the world cry. Under the circumstances where she saw this man without warning, Miu was nearly scared to the extent of wetting herself.
 
“W…Waaaaaaa……”
 
Miu powerlessly feel onto the floor. Beside her, Haruka seemed to have been shocked to the point where she lost consciousness. The shock caused by this man seemed to make Miu break past her mental limits.
 
At this moment, Akatsuki, who was behind her, seemed to have made an incredible greeting.
 
“Hi, Melissa……Long time no see.”
 
“M…Melissa……?”
 
Miu was completely surprised and looked at Akatsuki and Melissa.
 
……It is him?
 
Sorry, it should be “Zangief” or “Rodriguez”<ref name="random character">ロドリゲス Not sure who the LN is referring for this.</ref> to be correct right?<ref name="characternames">Both should be Muscular Video Game Characters</ref> It was completely different from the Melissa Miu had imagined.
 
Only to see the beast extend his arms and slowly open his thick lips.
 
A deep, rich voice forced Miu to accept the reality.
 
“Welcome to the members-only high class brothel “Melissa”.”
