Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 8 Chapter 3 (section)

===Part 10===
 
Ousawa Miu immediately leaped back, distancing herself.
 
After landing, she discovered that she well acquainted with those other girls.
 
And from there could see they were standing in such a way to protect Akatsuki.
 
So......
 
"...... Step back everyone."
 
Her tone was cold, without any emotion. Listy, Chikage, and Kuzuha all three took some slight action.
 
Upon seeing that Miu couldn't help narrow her eyes.
 
"--------"
 
Countless particles of light surrounded the three girls.
 
Reacting their new uniforms and newest model AD shined with a light.
 
The three's clothes completely changed.
 
Their Babel school uniforms transformed into -- combat attire.
 
"You guys ......"
 
Akatsuki was going to say something when,
 
"...... This is really unexpected."
 
Chikage opened her mouth first. And somewhere in her voice held a smile,
 
"We came running after Kaidou's barrier was broken but...... I certainly never thought I'd come across a situation like this."
 
"Most likely Ousawa-kun did something lewd again."
 
"Hey hey...... your going to put this on me?"
 
With a bitter smile Akatsuki protested. After which Kuzuha added "It was a joke" while quietly staring Miu in the eye,
 
"When you take in account the barrier was destroyed to attack you Ousawa-kun and Kaidou-kun most of what's happening here becomes very clear."
 
Then,
 
"Miu-chan......"
 
Listy lowered her magic wand she used to block Miu's sword while softly calling out to her.
 
In Listy's eyes that were staring at Miu were compassion and pity.
 
...... Why is she looking at me like that?
 
It was like she was faulting her, even though in that look there was also a trace of loneliness.
 
Ousawa Miu couldn't help wonder -- Could it be that Listy was sympathizing with me?
 
Was it because her trust in Akatsuki from the bottom of her heart had been betrayed -- and now she see's her as pitiful.
 
"Step back......"
 
So Miu repeated what she just told them and,
 
"That person was deceiving me... ... No, that person was probably deceiving everyone. So please, I ask you to step aside."
 
However......
 
"...... It's different Miu-chan."
 
And Listy slowly shook her head,
 
"Akatsuki wasn't fooling you, and also isn't deceiving us. He hasn't lied to anybody......"
 
"Impossible, I don't believe it. Listy-san don't be fooled by that person. You have no no idea what that person is really thinking."
 
Miu continued with,
 
"I'll ask again. Please let me through everyone, or I won't be so polite."
 
Then, Chikage shrugged her shoulders with a bitter smile. And good grief,
 
"It's useless...... she won't listen at all. For an earnest type like Miu, once she sets her mind on something no one will be able to change it. If I'm right, this is most likely how she's being used without even realizing it."
 
"It would seem Miu really can't be persuaded by us. Ousawa-kun probably a long time ago figured out she won't listen to reason... ... I guess it can't be helped."
 
"...... Seems so.
 
As soon as Listy finished saying so, the three's expressions had turned serious.
 
"-- What do plan on doing?"
 
Seeing them, Akatsuki couldn't help but ask.
 
"Since words won't work. There's no other way than resorting to force. Ousawa-kun you don't need to interfere. We'll somehow teach this blockhead a lesson."
 
"Well...... in order to strengthen our friendship even more, sometimes fighting it out isn't too bad. Even now may also be a good chance."
 
Kuzuha and Chikage spoke while keeping their gaze firmly planted.
 
And......
 
"If you really forget, then let us help you remember...... Miu-chan."
 
Listy spoke up, and with a sincere look,
 
"How much -- you believe in Akatsuki."
 
So the three girls began to walk towards Miu.
 
"............ All right then."
 
Miu quietly said to herself. She had already warned them.
 
But, both sides didn't have to come to this, if only they didn't cross. Since the other side was so inclined, she's not going to hold back either.
 
"--------"
 
Ousawa Miu swung the sword back up in her hand, and returned its shape back to Holy tin,
 
"-- Let's go."
 
After lightly shouting at the empty space in front of her -- Miu dashed forward.
