Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 4 Chapter 3

==The Unchanging Truth==

===Part 1===

After Akatsuki ended the conversation and left Sherfield Castle.
 
The trio went together to the market within Sherfield’s capital Erdia.
 
“Waaaaaa……”
 
Among the crowd, Miu constantly looked around, and was unable to conceal her surprise.
 
The battle had just ended, the people’s minds and bodies has still yet recovered from the war, but there were smiles among the pedestrians, the market on the side of the road was even bustling with vitality.
 
“There’s so many people, is there a festival being organized?”
 
“No, it is that lively almost everyday.”
 
Akatsuki said beside her.
 
“This could be called as Sherfield’s cargo distribution center, naturally it will gather merchants and goods from all over the world.”
 
“Isn’t it not appropriate for us to walk openly in the crowded streets?
 
Haruka revealed an incredulous look.
 
“Aren’t you the hero of this country? Everybody should know you right? If others notice you, wouldn’t it consider as if we were seeking for trouble?”
 
Haruka’s warning wasn’t unreasonable, in fact, Miu also felt the same way. If everyone discovers that their hero Akatsuki was walking together with the demon king’s daughter, it was bound to set off an uproar. To all the leaders of the world, the information of Miu and Akatsuki showing up together is absolutely a big problem that cannot be ignored.
 
Although Sherfield’s citizens may not recognize Miu, but nothing is impossible, there is no guarantee that there are no exceptions to the situation.”
 
This also means that the possibility that they would be recognized isn’t zero. Once they are recognized, things would become trouble, it might even cause panic at that time.
 
“Relax, we won’t be recognized.”
 
Akatsuki seem to smile carelessly.
 
“You see, isn’t there no one that pay attention to us in this street?”
 
That was true. Even while walking in the among the crowd of people, there really was no one that noticed Miu and the others.
 
Miu and Haruka is considered to be foreigners, so perhaps they could be passable; but the citizens on the streets actually did not notice Akatsuki’s existence, this was really strange.
 
This was Sherfield’s capital, which is also right inside of Erdia. Akatsuki had lived in Sherfield for many years, so he has become part of the locals. Not to mention that Akatsuki is the hero everyone knows about, according to this, he should be in the spotlight in any location, the passersby would not ignore him. Perhaps noticing Miu’s suspicion, Akatsuki laughed.
 
“The reason is simple, I hid my true ki. Even if others were able to see me, they would notice my presence, it is the same as being invisible.”
 
Besides from that……
 
“I also controlled your true ki, to avoid others from noitiching the demon king’s daughter appeared in Erdia’s market. So hold onto my hand tightly and do not let go.”
 
“Yes…”
 
A slightly flushed Miu nodded her head.
 
“Vice president, what about you? My other hand is still free.”
 
“There’s no need, nobody in this world knows me.”
 
Facing Akatsuki’s taunt, Haruka coldly replied with a “Hmmph”, and immediately looked away. Akatsuki shrugged and continued to walk forward. After some time……
 
“——We’re here, this is the place.”
 
Under Akatsuki’s instruction, Miu and Haruka both stopped. Here was an intersection of a small alley and the main road, in the alley, there was a restaurant. Haruka looked up at the sign hanging on the outside.
 
“ “Mountain Cat Cabin<ref name="shopname">Temporary Name </ref>” ……The place you wanted to visit is here?”
 
“Yes. I have already promised the boss, if I were to visit Sherfield, I must eat a meal here.”
 
Akatsuki replied faintly.
 
“But it is hanging a sign saying it is currently preparing, and if we were to be recognized ……”
Miu could not conceal the restlessness inside her heart.
 
“Rest assured, nothing will happen. Okay, let’s go.”
 
Thus, Akatsuki pulled Miu’s hand and forcibly dragged her inside.
 
 
 
After entering the restaurant, what appeared in their vision was the small shop front.
 
On top of the store were a few tables of differing sizes, the walls made of stone bricks were covered with posters and flyers. Installed on the ceiling was a huge fan, which helped circulate the air inside.
 
This restaurant, Mountain Cat Cabin, serves Sherfield’s local cuisine. When he was staying in Alayzard before, Akatsuki often came together with Listy, Zechs and Loutier and dined her. To Akatsuki, the furnishment in the store was undoubtedly a view from the past. He narrowed his eyes and felt the endless emotions while looking around the store.
 
……This place was the same as before.
 
An inexplicable nostalgia swept over him.
 
“There seems to be no one in the store, can we really come in?”
 
“That’s strange, there should be people here at this time.”
 
Facing Haruka’s question, Akatsuki could not help but scratch his head.
 
“Hey——! Auntie, are you here?”
 
Akatsuki raised his voice and called out a few times.
 
“……Coming, who is it?”
 
From the kitchen, a female voice came over.
 
“It can’t be that I forgot to hang the sign……I’m really sorry, we are currently preparing, can you please come back a little later?’
 
“Why do you treat me as an outsider? Auntie, it can’t be that you forgot my voice right?”
 
Akatsuki smiled while he talked.
 
A few minutes later, a woman stuck her head outside of the kitchen.
 
Seeing Akatsuki, her expression gradually changed, from surprise to joy.
 
“Hey Hey——Isn’t it Akatsuki? I really wonder who was it!”
 
The female boss wiped her hands on her apron, then hurriedly ran over.
 
“Long time no see, Auntie. Are you still okay these days?”
 
“Couldn’t be better, Auntie’s body is extremely healthy.”
 
The female boss issued a hearty laugh, then her gaze fell upon Miu and Haruka.
 
“Even bringing along two cute girls? You really have guys, aren’t you afraid that Listy-sama would get angry?”
 
“Too late, I was just scolded by her.”
 
Akatsuki gave a wry smile while he shook his head, the female boss narrowed her eyes.
 
“You don’t even tell me when you’re coming, it really surprised me. Everybody should stand here and talk, come and find a seat and relax! I’ll prepare something for everybody to drink!”
 
After saying this, the female boss immediately turned and headed to the kitchen.
Then Akatsuki yelled at the female boss.
 
“Can we get something to eat first, I’m starving.”
 
“Why is that isn’t a problem? However, most of the ingredients are not prepared yet, I can, at most, only make some simple dishes, is that okay?”
 
“Of course, auntie’s dishes will not lose to the hotel cuisine.”
 
“Your really know how to sweet-talk……Okay, I’ll go prepare it now.”
 
The female boss slightly smiled and entered the kitchen.
 
“She’s really kind……”
 
This was Miu’s first impression towards the female boss.”
 
“Is she?” Akatsuki laughed and randomly picked a chair to sit down.
 
“Not only does auntie manage this shop alone, she is also a committee member of the People’s Council. She is passionate and enjoys to help others, it is almost impossible to find a resident in Erdia who does not know auntie. Before, I, along with Listy and the others, was always cared by auntie.”
 
A bustling sound came from the kitchen, probably because she was currently preparing dishes.
 
“Right, why did you suddenly come over today? Didn’t you return back to your own world?”
 
Facing the female boss’s question, Akatsuki casually replied.
 
“The people here found out that I secretly brought the demon king’s daughter back to my own world, Disdia even sent pursuers, which troubled me. So I simply returned to Alayzard and explained it to the Queen, Emperor and Pope of the three country alliance, hoping that they would not bother me again, and by the way,asked them to stop their aggressive actions towards the demon race.”
 
Akatsuki had just finished speaking, immediately, the sound of kitchen pots and pans falling to the ground rang out.
 
“W…What did you say……?”
 
The female boss stuck her head outside of the kitchen, she had both a surprised and a puzzled expression.
 
Akatsuki shrugged, revealing an innocent smile.
 
“Haha……Isn’t it like my style?”
