Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 5 Chapter 2 (section)

===Part 14===
 
Akatsuki had made a move.
 
Without damaging Loutier a light chop deprived her of consciousness. He took the unconsciousness high elf lightly into his arms, and then looked to Kuzuha.
 
"Well then Class Rep...... just as planned, take Lulu back with you to Forestnium as quickly as possible."
 
Ousawa Akatsuki calmly said,
 
"This guy is a priestess that specializes in high level recovery magic. Lulu will surely be able to heal Riruru."
 
"Un, no problem......"
 
Kuzuha's puppet crumbled as she nodded, and transmogrified into a lion golem.
 
This was definitely the fastest way to carry her back to Forestnium.
 
-- The ultimate goal of this battle was to have her treat the seriously injured Riruru. This the was a promise to Kuzuha, also Akatsuki's own desire. That was why, this particular battle plan was drawn up. The plan was to pin down Disdiya in both the central and north channel by deliberately picking that conspicuous location to attract their attention. He even let Kuzuha storm into the Sherfied camp alone. All of her actions were to lure out the Chief Executive of Sherfied and then capture her.
 
Akatsuki laid the unconscious Loutier on the earth golem lion's back.
 
"Be careful on the way back...... this guy is a cherished companion of mine."
 
The Lion nodded as to convey its understanding. Then turned around to hurry back down the south channel she came from. At that rate she should reach Forestnium in no time.
 
Therefore Akatsuki thought to himself that he accomplished one of the goals of the operation.
 
"Well, I guess its about time for me to act."
 
After muttering, Akatsuki jumped. The second objective -- was to devastate Disdiya's army.
 
Akatsuki jumped around seven or eight meters back and forth between the rock walls until he reach the precipice. Then immediately headed in the direction of the central channel.
 
"-- Vice president!"
 
After hearing him call out to her, Haruka turned back while still floating mid-air a little ways away.
 
Akatsuki nodded -- indicating the first phase of the operation was successful.
 
"----"
 
Her face lightened momentarily as she returned a nod. She altered her active magic in place in the central route. She lowered the protective wind cushion on the rock walls before casting it anew. Haruka then left her post at the central route, and flew to the northern route ready to support Chikage in her battle. So far, it was all going accordingly to their original plan.
 
However, there were still soldiers remaining in a central route. But who was going to deal with residual enemies? That answer was obvious. Therefore, Akatsuki Ousawa jumped down from the top of the cliff.
 
He landed at the bottom of the ravine with a loud bang -- In the middle of the central route.
 
"Ah------!"
 
It was like the heaven God general descend. The soldiers one by one flinched and retreated backwards, unable to hide their inner fear.
 
Akatsuki informed them with a fearless smile.
 
"Eh, what are you hiding for?...... The Demon King you guys are looking for is right in front your face."
 
After saying so, he took a step forward.
 
"Akatsukiiiiiiii --"
 
The thunderous shout to Akatsuki descended behind him from Zechs Doltrake. He found this place after he destroyed the earth puppet of Akatsuki from atop the cliff, and jump down right after. However, Akatsuki didn't look back.
 
-- Then.
 
A high-pitched metallic sound screeched as Zechs's blade was stopped before it hit Akatsuki's body. Between the two, a young man stepped in dividing them.
 
"-- Eh!"
 
Zechs quickly jumped back, opening up some distance.
 
The young man took up a defense posture as he crossed knuckle armor on both hands.
 
"Aha... you see that Akki? Not just anybody can appear at a crucial moment like that."
 
"Surely you jest. Up until now, what have you been doing, eating or sleeping? Huh, so it is possible for you to put in some work."
 
"Gee thanks. That habit of yours, really. Akki you don't have to go Tsundere."
 
"Hey, Kaidou --"
 
He informed Kaidou who was joking around, while looking straight ahead in a serious tone.
 
"-- I will leave this guy to you."
 
"Ah, no problem."
 
After the short conversation ended, there backs where facing each other.
 
Akatsuki summoned his black Demon sword, and took a step forward.
 
To Disdiya's tens of thousands of soldiers he loudly announced:
 
"Time is of the essence, so I'll make this quick. Are you ready -- because I wait for no man."
