Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 7 Chapter 4 (section)

===Part 10===
 
After entering the main campus in the tower of Babel the silence made the air feel heavy.
 
Inside the uninhabited campus only faint lighting was needed for the system update.
 
The moonlight that passed through the windows was brighter.
 
Haruka and Miu slowly walked towards the elevator.
 
Only their footsteps could be heard in the dark and deserted corridor.
 
They went to the student council's private elevator that has access to the top floor of Babel. Inside the fast rising elevator a weird atmosphere was created in the confined space.
 
"......"
 
"......"
 
Haruka and Miu invariably tightly closed their lips not saying a word.
 
The silence inside only added to the atmosphere in the elevator, but now is not the time to talk or laugh easily. While they waited, and kept waiting they were trying to suppress suffocating tension until the steel doors in front of their eyes automatically opened. After some time, the elevator reached the top floor.
 
Haruka was the first out of the elevator.
 
"--This way."
 
Under Haruka's guidance the two walked down the empty corridors.
 
Other than Haruka and Miu, the top floor also was naturally uninhabited.
 
While walking in silence, Haruka couldn't help thinking –- this is a long corridor.
 
She walked this way almost every day, but today it was exceptionally long.
 
However, having thought that the corridor soon came to an end.
 
They arrived at the door to the student council's room.
 
Haruka stood in front of the door and looked back at Miu:
 
"...... Are you ready?"
 
"Uh huh......"
 
After their final confirmation of their wills, they nodded at each other -- and slowly open the heavy door.
 
The moment they set foot into the student council room. Haruka thought she had walked into a freezer.
 
She heard Miu gasped beside her, she might of sensed the same thing.
 
Of course -- that is not possible.
 
Because their breath is still transparent and colorless.
 
The room was just as dark as the corridors, she couldn't help but wonder if anyone was inside.
 
"--Hey, come in....... I've been waiting for you."
 
From deep within the darkness in the back of the room where the moonlight through the windows didn't reach Kyouya slowly emerged.
 
He stopped in front of student council's president desk.
 
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, President...... "
 
Haruka said, then gave a little nod.
 
She wanted to switch on the light sensor, however, since this is Kyouya's classroom he must of wanted it dark. She would need his permission, so naturally there was no choice.
 
...... No signs of life...... besides them.
 
Haruka thought Kyouya planned to have staff lying in wait in the classroom, then as soon as they entered they would arrest Miu. But judging form the situation at hand, there apparently was no need to be worried.
 
Also along the way from the elevators she did not feel any other presences either.
 
"......" "......"
 
Haruka and Miu remained silent, they only winked at each other.
 
For now, it seems the worst case scenario was unlikely.
 
They both slowly walked towards the back of the room.
 
-- Then Haruka suddenly tripped on something hard on the ground.
 
"--Ugh!"
 
Haruka kick out her opposite foot firmly planting it on the floor, avoiding her from stumbling down.
 
She walked into the room almost every day, naturally she was very familiar with the furnishings inside. And although it was dark inside she did not pay attention to her feet. Perhaps since inside and outside of the room there was no one waiting to ambush them, she let down her guard.
 
She was really careless she thought, then Haruka's looked to the left staring at what she nearly tripped over -- his body.
 
 
 
".......................EH?"
 
 
 
At that moment, Nanase Haruka stopped thinking.
 
That was not an object, but its a person.
 
Uesaki Ryohei and Aihara Minami -- her two best friends were lying in front of her.
