Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 5 Chapter 3 (section)

===Part 10===
 
"...... Ah."
 
All eyes were drawn to Miu, however being called out so bluntly she wasn't able answer right away.
 
That Leon was slaughtering Demons, Miu knew a little.
 
But she did not know the cause or the background of the whole thing.
 
In truth, the facts she didn't know hit her like rogue wave. Miu's brain was thrown into disorder, her thoughts couldn't catch up right away.
 
So after much thought, she slowly began speak to everyone,
 
"......I'm sorry...... I only know a few details already in the story just now."
 
She lowered her head after saying so.
 
"And all I heard from my Father after he returned from Sherfied was he defeated Leon-san."
 
"I see...... This was my wrongdoing. Even under normal circumstances, this must be painful to be reminded of the past."
 
Loutier said apologetically, Miu shook her head as to say 'its okay.'
 
Miu doesn't know why her Father, Galious protected Leon and made himself the scapegoat. She never heard either.
 
After her father lost the duel and entrusted her to Akatsuki was the same.
 
Things ended at that time without a chance to talk things through, her father had already stopped breathing.
 
"-- That is all I know about what really happened five years ago."
 
Loutier summed up,
 
"The only people that knew are Akatsuki, Zechs and myself...... and one more."
 
"Another person? Doesn't Queen Listy not know?"      
 
Haruka couldn't help but frown, Loutier nodded "Yes."
 
"It's just as you said, Listy doesn't know. The truth of this matter is enough to shake the country. For that person's safety, their identity cannot be revealed."
 
"............"
 
Loutier's words involuntarily made Miu stare blankly.
 
Because there was one person who crossed her mind. It was just a guess, but it was more like conviction.
 
......She must be the one...... I'm certain.
 
In Ousawa Miu mind echoed that gentle voice.
 
"...... This war has taken my husband and my children."
 
Even so, that friendly shop owner was able to accept her.
 
Leon's mother -- Selina Esuperio.
 
That's right. At that time she had even said to Miu,
 
 
 
'-- And you should also know about my son, right?'
 
 
 
Miu never asked what exactly those words meant, she assumed they were pointing to Leon being a hero.
 
But rather she alluding to fact that Miu was a demon, and should of been aware of what Leon had done.
 
...... So that was the reason......
 
Ousawa Miu finally understood why.
 
Why Selina hated war so much. Why she was able to be so friendly with Miu. It was all because she understood better than anyone how many lives were lost and how many of their families were destroyed. The true nature of war -- grief.
 
War always gives rise to hatred which can lead to madness. This type of uncontrollable hatred will eventually trigger a negative chain reaction. That was why Selina supported Akatsuki and Miu's plan to stop human aggression towards the Demons. In an effort to prevent it from boiling over into another war breaking out.
 
-- But now, Akatsuki was seriously wounded because of the past tragedy.
 
However, Miu still hadn't forgotten what Selina expected of her.
 
'Stop this war with Akatsuki, and then come back here to eat some of my homemade cooking.'
 
Break this chain of hatred -- and settle the tragedy of the past.
 
...... Right.
 
Miu raised her head, her innermost thoughts have changed into a oath. Ousawa Miu stared straight ahead,
 
"Thank you Loutier-san for telling me the truth."
 
In order to stop the war, Akatsuki told Miu not to take part in the battle.
 
But that was also useless. Even not part of front line there were ways to help.
 
Miu was certain her power was needed to stop this war.
 
...... It's not too late......
 
Ousawa Miu clenched her fists. Akatsuki already used his power -- now it was her turn to do something for everyone.
