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

===Part 14===
 
Sometime later they all learned of it.
 
It was a miraculous reversal at the end of the war by Akatsuki.
 
Even if they believed that peace would soon be realized, he still did not forget to prepare for the worst. He affixed a seal to Listy during the duel that was used to prove his power.
 
Miu had a seal affixed the evening after he went into Sherfied looking for an antique shop to buy the seals. They were waiting at the brothel after accidental ingesting too much of an aphrodisiac. They needed Akatsuki to detoxify them.  
 
"Don't tell me...... at that time......"
 
She knew the answer already.
 
Prior to the peace agreement, even if Akatsuki was on good terms with the Kingdom of Sherfied it was still enemy territory. So Akatsuki affixed a transfer seal to Haruka, who was accompanying him.
 
In case of a dangerous situation, he could simultaneously save Miu and Haruka.
 
...... Then...... I......
 
Nanase Haruka suddenly realized.
 
It was not a coincidence that she was saved by Akatsuki just now.
 
Why -- There was still that feeling.
 
She will never forget -- that first meeting was the worst.
 
He did not even try to follow the rules, she was disgusted how he behaved so freewheeling. Every time she saw him, he began to create all kinds of difficulties.
 
She was always worried about him in the back of her mind, she kept telling herself it was all in her imagination. Since she was unwilling to face the truth, and didn't want to admit it.
 
She didn't admit it until she went to Alayzard and witnessed Akatsuki implement justice she believed in.
 
But......
 
That night in the brothel with Miu -- he entrusted my life.
 
No, it should be before that.
 
Nanase Haruka was in Akatsuki's safety net.
 
So......
 
"--------"
 
Haruka collapsed into Akatsuki arms, she was at her limit.
 
She knew nothing at all, and felt guilty.
 
She was unable to protect Miu.
 
And regreted it.
 
What Kyouya did was outside her assumptions. The death of her best friends Ryohei and Minami greatly unsettled her. She was reluctant to explain everything to Akatsuki. However, Haruka understood she couldn't make an excuse for this. The harsh reality was inescapable.
 
We all promised. We swore that no matter when, no matter where.
 
And Miu said she unconditionally believed me, but I .....
 
"--------"
 
Haruka broke down into tears.
 
She was not enough.
 
Her resolve -- nor her strength.
 
Nanase Haruka was not able to protect Ousawa Miu.
 
Her irreplaceable friend was taken from her.
 
Haruka had lost everything.
