Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 1 Chapter 3 (section)

===Part 2===
A crisp and loud bell sound spread throughout the Babel campus, which meant that class had ended.
Both the clock’s long and short hand pointed directly up, and the morning classes came to the end.
 
Currently it was lunch time. B-class students left the second arena in twos or threes, but Miu’s figure appeared inside the gym’s warehouse. Inside the warehouse it was extremely dark, and the air was filled with a damp mildew smell. Miu could not help but think back to Alayzard’s castle. This kind of smell was similar to the castle underground caves.
 
The warehouse’s interior was broader than expected, as expected of the second arena and first arena’s shared warehouse. The deeper you entered, the darker the light became, until you could not see the other wall at all, not to mention the volume of the place. Miu could not imagine how big this warehouse was. She only knew that everywhere inside the warehouse there were piled up weapons used for combat training and magic props, as well as cushions of different sizes, iron balls and bags filled with lime. It looked like equipment for the physical education courses was also piled up here.
 
As a mixture of the smell of her sweat and dust entered her lungs, Miu could not help but cough a few times.
 
“Class rep, is placing it here okay?”
 
“Yes, thank you for your help.”
 
After the combat training course had ended, Miu stayed behind to help Kuzuha collect the equipment.
 
After obtaining the class rep’s agreement, Miu placed the triangular cone in a corner of the warehouse.
 
“Ah that’s right, Ousawa-san. This door will automatically lock itself after being closed, there is no way to open it from the inside, so you better pay attention to it.”
 
“Huh, really?”
 
Miu heard it and looked back at Kuzuha.
 
“It can be opened from the outside, but not from the inside? Isn’t the design of this too problematic?”
 
“Just the opposite. This type of design where you can only open it from the outside is the foolproof security system. Inside the warehouse are very important magical props. If someone secretly snuck into the warehouse and moved the items away, wouldn’t that cause more trouble?”
 
“That’s true, the thief could not allow the doors to be opened while stealing stuff.”
Miu suddenly understood. So the design of this warehouse was to capture thieves with evil intentions in their hearts.
 
Looking back, Akatsuki was still at the arena training hard.
 
—Miu had expressed her willingness to help Akatsuki materialize his weapon using AD, but the instructor turned it down. The instructor felt that this problem was something that Akatsuki had to overcome by himself, plus Miu had her own course she should learn from and should not waste time here. So under the instructor’s instructions, Miu and Kuzuha formed a group, with Kuzuha teaching Miu how to use the materialized weapon.
 
The use of an AD materialized weapon could enhance the user’s magic and increase the amount being released. In a nutshell, it acted as a medium. Through the help of the AD, the user did not have to depend on the power of the gods and elves, and could use their own magic power to chant magic. But because the magic Miu used were almost all entirely drawing on elves and gods’s magic, if she wanted to use her own magic power to activate magic, Miu must create a new type of magic.
 
But as long as you used the materialized weapon, it would enormously increase the magic drawn from elves and gods. In short, it could increase the power or shorten the chanting time. After accumulating a certain amount of experience, you could even skip materializing the weapon and directly use the AD as a medium.
 
…So that’s why Onizuka’s chanting speed was so fast.
 
Miu thought back to the quarrel on the first day of school. At that time Onizuka’s activated magic was extremely powerful, and the chanting speed was surprisingly fast. Presumably it must have been the results of using the AD as a medium.
 
Aside from that, Miu also remembered another situation. The ice magic used by the Student Council President during the entrance inspection. Creating a giant icicle from the ground, it should be the same method as well.
 
In addition, Akatsuki also seemed to encounter the same situation at the Student Council Office. According to Akatsuki’s description, the student council members almost instantly activated their magic.
 
…But to not think about the occasion and stirring up trouble, this person went too overboard…
 
Miu sighed. After the school bell sounded for ending class, Akatsuki was called by the instructors to stay behind, probably due to the fact that he could not materialize his weapon. And from Akatsuki’s current expression, he probably could not obtain any decent results now. Thinking up to here, Miu could not help but laugh. The hero who defeated her father could actually have a moment when he was beaten. The world was really unpredictable.
 
“…Ha ha ha, to think that he also has these types of days.”
 
But at the moment when Miu snickered.
 
“—Looks like you’re quite happy, what’s so funny?”
 
“Whoa—!”
 
The sound suddenly came from beside her, and the startled Miu almost jumped back. Turning around, Akatsuki was standing behind her.  Gently pressing her pounding heart, Miu said sulkily:
 
“D…Don’t scare people okay? So how were the after class tutoring results? Did you successfully materialize your weapon?”
 
“No, I still didn’t succeed, so I’m taking a short break. It looks like afternoon is real combat training, so the instructor specifically told me to eat more, and recover my stamina.”
 
After saying this, Akatsuki narrowed his eyes.
 
“Well, who did you say had these types of days?”
 
“…Huh?”
 
Miu froze for a moment, and immediately exposed a pair of malicious eyes.
 
“Ha ha ha, even though you knew you still had to ask. Of course it was you.”
 
Afterwards she pretended to pout.
 
“You even had this expression saying “No, I can’t do it”. Ah ha ha ha!”
 
“I say you, getting proud of yourself because you easily passed…Just wait and see.”
 
“—Can you two quiet down a little?”
 
Kuzuha interrupted.
 
“Ah, Sorry…”
 
Miu thought she was too noisy and suddenly revealed an apologetic look, but Kuzuha’s gaze did not fall onto Miu but rather stared at the depth of the warehouse.
 
“—”
 
“W…What is it…?”
 
Facing Miu’s questions, Kuzuha replied rather calmly, while her gaze remained at the depth of the warehouse.
 
“—I seem to hear the sound of people talking.”
 
The inside of the sports warehouse could only be opened with a key.
 
When previously entering the sports warehouse, the door was closed shut.
 
If someone was accidently locked in the warehouse, it should be reasonable to stay close to the door, to be more easily discovered by people on the outside.
 
If they were hiding in the depth of the warehouse, their intention was to avoid people’s eyes and ears.
 
“C…Could it be that you’ve heard wrong?”
 
Miu, who was following behind Kuzuha, spoke quietly. Deep inside the warehouse, it was both dark and humid. The atmosphere was almost like a haunted house. After walking for a bit, the sound of people speaking really did seem to come from the front. This terrifying atmosphere made Miu horrified. At this moment, Kuzuha, who was in front, suddenly stopped, and crouched down gently to avoid being found by the other party.
 
“… Found it.”
 
“R…Really?”
 
Miu and Akatsuki both crouched down. Hiding behind Kuzuha, Miu stuck out her head to look around. She noticed figures in the shadows five meters in front. In total there were two people sitting on the soft cushion, but she did not know what they were talking about.
 
“…Huh? Wait… Isn’t that…?”
 
After confirming the figure of one of them, Miu was shocked.
 
Using her pupils that were gradually adjusting to the dark to look carefully once again, Yes that’s right.
 
“…That’s Izumi.”
 
The figure that was closer to them was Chikage. She and another female student that Miu did not know were sitting side by side and seemed to be talking. Miu felt relieved. Chikage was absolutely not a suspicious individual.
 
…Huh? Wait a second…
 
What was Chikage hiding here? Just as Miu was puzzled, the sight in front of her eyes showed her the answer—Chikage kissed the other female student’s lips.
 
“Whattttt~~!”
 
Miu could not withstand it and shouted, then afterwards hurriedly covered her mouth. The scene in front of her eyes was the truth, but Miu could not accept this reality.
 
…Female with Female…?
 
Miu, with her ears completely red, stared at the two people, and watched as Chikage slowly pushed down the other female student.
 
A deep passionate kiss. Their limbs entangled, each demanding from the other.
 
Akatsuki opened his mouth and said with a calm tone.
 
“Looks like Izumi’s experiences are quite abundant.”
 
“… I can’t watch it any longer.”
 
The petite back in front of their eyes coldly threw out this phrase, stood up and walked towards the front, preparing to enter the crime scene. A few seconds later —
 
“—!”
 
“—…—!”
 
Inside the depth of the warehouse came the sound of a dispute.
 
“Ah…”
 
“<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>!”
 
Their good deed was caught by others, it was probably extremely embarrassing. The female student, who was enjoying her sexual conduct with Chikage, blushed with a reddened face and flew over from in front of Miu and Akatsuki, then disappeared in the direction of the entrance. Afterwards, a sound of a heavy object being locked came from far far behind.
 
Kuzuha and Chikage were currently engaging in a fierce dispute, and seemed to not have heard the sound.
 
At that moment Akatsuki suddenly remembered something.
 
“Hey… she shouldn’t have locked the door right?”
 
“…Huh? So…”
 
Miu, who had not yet awoken from the shock of seeing two women entwining among each other, was suddenly awake, and did not seem to understand the meaning of Akatsuki’s words at that moment. After a period of time, she violently woke up.
 
“—It can’t be! Are we all stuck in the warehouse now?”
 
Miu panickedly stood up, her elbow accurately hitting Akatsuki’s jaw.
 
“Ah—”
 
Miu watched as Akatsuki fell down. Aside from being helpless, she could only temporarily throw away the unconscious Akatsuki and flew off to the entrance of the warehouse.
 
After coming to the door, she was surprised to find the sliding door was really locked.
 
“Ah ha ha … This can’t be real, this can’t be real… Oh God <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>!”
 
Her smile suddenly disappeared. A panicked Miu used all her strength and attempted to open the heavy doors, but the doors did not move at all. This was also a matter of fact, if a single female’s power could pull open the door, how could it be called a foolproof security system.
 
“W…What can I do…”
 
Behind the dejected Miu, Chikage and Kuzuha were still quarrelling.
 
In this huge warehouse, you could only hear the sounds of the dispute coming from the two people.
