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

===Part 9===
“I can’t believe it……”
 
Akatsuki’s action made Alphonse, who watched the duel from the special box, completely shocked.
 
It might seem like a simple kiss, but it implied a far greater meaning.
 
One side was the youth who bore the responsibility of the previous hero’s death, climbed all the way from the depths of despair and become the Rogue Hero everyone knew about, and finally defeated the demon king and became a hero that saved the world. On the other side was a Queen whot had experienced the blow of her country being destroyed, and with the hero obtained back their homeland and aimed to defeat the demon king. These heroes in everyone eyes were almost like a prince and a princess from a fairy tale who won the world’s admiration and love. Alayzard’s residents had wished from the bottom of their hearts that they would become married; after all their happiness symbolized the end of the war and the coming of the peace, so it was undoubtedly everyone’s wish for the future. Although the happy ending that everyone had hoped for was destroyed when Akatsuki returned to his own world, Akatsuki had now once again come back to Alayzard and stood in front of everyone.
 
——And in this case, Akatsuki, wearing the demon king outfit, was playing a very crucial role.
 
The scene of Akatsuki, who was wearing the demon king outfit, and Listy standing next to each other seemed to symbolize the peace between the humans and the demon race.
 
Every audience member at the scene was a witness to history.
 
……At this rate, nothing can be done.
 
Alphonse had arranged many individuals to specially discredit the duel and frame Sherfield’s trio for faking the duel, and thus provoke the audience’s emotions. However, in the face of the thunderous cheers from the audience, those individuals seemed to be extraordinarily small. Although Akatsuki declared his own defeat, there was ample evidence that his strength was above the trio from Sherfield. Under the catalyst of this happy ending, the signing of the peace treaty would not be blamed upon Listy and Sherfield by everyone. Even if everyone wanted to say something, they could only just send their heartfelt blessings. In short, Akatsuki achieved the final victory, but Listy and the trio were not defeated.
 
……Impressive, he actually had the ability to perfectly convey and perform the draw that was excluded from the rules.
 
Alphonse Tese Rubura Disdia was completely defeated.
 
His strategy could be said to have been completely neutralized.
 
“So this is the strength of the Rogue Hero?......What a disorderly fellow.”
 
With a wry smile, Alphonse could only accept his defeat.
 
 
Also in the special box seats, Ousawa Miu looked intently at the arena stage.
 
“……”
 
Staring at Akatsuki, who was waving to the audience, and Listy, who was being held on at the waist, Miu did not notice that on her own face emerged a hint of loneliness.
 
Akatsuki and Listy were standing in front of Miu’s eyes, and accepting the world’s blessings.
 
At this moment, Miu suddenly noticed that Akatsuki and Listy’s gazes did not fall at the same place. Akatsuki was busily addressing the audience, but Listy, who was beside him, had been staring at Akatsuki’s face.
 
Tears emerged from her eyes.
 
Ousawa Miu thought, Akatsuki will immediately wipe off Listy’s tears.
 
……That was correct.
 
This was a matter of fact; Miu, herself, also understood this. Only Listy was worthy of Akatsuki. The other half of a hero should not be the daughter of a demon king.
 
But a princess who defeated the demon king alongside the hero.
