Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 4 Chapter 1 (section)

===Part 3===
“In the end, what am I doing…”
 
Looking at the cement wall with the door sign inscribed with “Ousawa”, Nanase Haruka could not help but quietly complain.
 
Today was the first day of spring break, but JPN Babel high school division Student Council Members, including Haruka, had to deal with the aftermath of the school ranking tournament. This also included re-examining the school’s security system. However, after meeting with Kubota Kaito in the school, Haruka had suddenly discovered that things weren’t that simple.
 
Kubota brought the new AD – Arms Device and handed it to Haruka.
 
A mysterious figure had taken advantage of the ranking tournament and invaded JPN Babel, causing a number of students and staff members to be injured.
 
Thanks to Akatsuki stepping forward, they successfully resolved the crisis, but no one could guarantee that this situation would not happen again. It was possible that there might be a more severe situation in the future; after all, Babel was a remarkable goal for terrorists. To prevent this situation from happening again, delegates at the C.O.C.O.O.N summit had reached an agreement, and took measures to prevent the possible terrorist attacks, that is the AD upgrade program.
 
Not only would the new AD be able to materialize a weapon, it could also instantly switch into the battle uniform mode based on the user’s instructions. However, the battle uniform mode was only limited to clothing made from the special telepathic stone’s fibers – such as the school gym uniforms. Thus the school had decided to catch up during the spring break, before the new year started, and initiate a uniform design plan.
 
As the new AD was completed, the school immediately started a synchronization test for new uniforms and the new AD, and the chosen tester was Haruka. Babel’s best scientist’s, Kubota’s, masterpiece would naturally have no possibility of error and the test was well within everyone’s expectation, obtaining words of success beforehand.
 
Thus, the new AD and new uniform design plan had closed – until now it had gone fairly smoothly.
 
…The real problem had yet to come.
 
Just when Haruka was about to return to the Student Council Office, Kubota took a new AD and ordered Haruka to give this AD to Akatsuki, to replace the missing AD he had lost when fighting against the mysterious dragon.
 
Why me? Haruka could not help but complain. But it was strange as Haruka did not have any ideas to refuse.
 
Haruka did not say anything and accepted the AD from Kubota. Actually she could have asked others to deliver the AD to Akatsuki, after all she was a member of the high school division Student Council Member of JPN Babel, and had assistants to help deal with chores. What was strange was that Haruka never thought of entrusting this matter to someone else.
 
This was the reason why Haruka appeared in front of Akatsuki’s home.
 
… I’m unwilling to admit it.
 
Nanase Haruka thought. During the ranking tournament – No, it should be before the ranking tournament, she was very conscious of Akatsuki’s presence. Why? She did not know and did not want to know. So Haruka had already been hovering near Akatsuki’s home for nearly an hour and was still unwilling to press the doorbell.
 
… People who do not understand the circumstances must have treated me as a suspicious person.
 
What the hell! A member of JPN Babel Disciplinary Committee will actually look like a suspicious individual in the eyes of others!? Just what is Ousawa Akatsuki, Just what from that guy makes me hesitant, and even be treated as a suspicious character? Thus Haruka took a deep breath and in her heart, made up her mind –
 
There is no need to hesitate, just relax and do it. Press the doorbell, give out her identity, then hand over the AD to Akatsuki and that’s it. Simple, isn’t it?
 
But just when Haruka was about to press the doorbell…
 
“ – Isn’t this the Vice President?”
 
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
 
A sudden sound came from behind, and Haruka was suddenly shocked to a certain extent.
 
Turning around, a youth appeared in her sight. Nanase Haruka was not unfamiliar with the youth - the other was the class’s famous truancy king.
 
“Kaidou Motoharu… Why are you here?”
 
“Akatsuki is my “best friend”, so occasionally visiting shouldn’t be too overboard right?”
 
Kaidou shrugged.
 
“So why are you standing in front of Akatsuki’s home?”
 
“I…I have come to give something to him.”
 
After saying this, Haruka suddenly thought she was in trouble.
 
“…It can’t be that you actually saw it.”
 
“Ah? Saw what?”
 
Seeing Kaidou’s puzzled look, Haruka was relieved. It looked like he did not notice that she was hovering in front of the door, while she was thinking embarrassedly.
 
Thank goodness. If that embarrassed look was seen by others, she must have fainted on the spot.
 
So Haruka pretended to be calm and said:
 
“Nothing, I have just arrived recently.”
 
“Really. But I probably arrived 30 minutes ago and saw you standing in front of the door.”
 
As Kaidou’s nonchalant response entered her ears, Nanase Haruka suddenly felt dizzy. Although she was not shocked to that extent, but she almost lost consciousness<!-- This seems contradictory. Should it say she was NOT shocked to the extent she would have lost consciousness? Or she was so shocked she almost did faint, but not quite to the extent to actually faint? If the latter, it could be phrased better. -->, her face became more red and flushed.
 
“W…Why did you not say anything?”
 
“It could not be helped, the changes in the expression of the vice president were really interesting.”
 
“Y…You, why can’t you pretend you didn’t see it? You’re really not considerate at all!”
 
Just when Haruka was about to scold Kaidou.
 
A sharp sound suddenly appeared at the scene.
 
“This sound… It can’t be a dimensional transfer?”
 
Haruka immediately looked at the direction of the sound.
 
Near the second floor of Ousawa’s home space started to appear distorted. It could not be mistaken, this was the sign for dimensional transfer. Someone was being summoned to an alternative world.
 
At this moment –
 
“- Damn, there was still this trick!”
 
Kaidou, whose face was becoming pale, immediately sprung forward. The door did not seem to be locked, seeing as Kaidou easily opened the entrance door and went straight into the house.
 
“W…Wait a minute!”
 
Haruka, who was behind a step, hurriedly tried to catch up.
 
A blinding flash occupied the room.
 
Sitting on the bed, four people were holding hands forming a circle. The one who was commanding was Akatsuki, who was among the four people.
 
“Very good…slowly take deep breaths and imagine Alayzard’s scene in your head.”
 
Akatsuki looked at Miu beside him, who was the center of the light.
 
As a resident of Alayzard, Miu had access to direct them to that world.
 
As long as Akatsuki followed the essentials of the <Gate of Another World>, and used Renkan Keikikou to inject ki into Miu’s body, he could produce the current scenario. In short, the key to opening the dimensional movement. After that, Miu just had to concentrate and they would be able to use the <Dimensional Hole> created when she entered this world to return to Alayzard.
 
Besides Miu, Akatsuki also injected ki into Chikage and Kuzuha’s body and at the same allowed the ki to form a circular orbit. Before, when Akatsuki had brought Miu through the <Gate of Another World>, she had also used these two techniques.
 
As a result, all four of the people gained the ability to go through dimensions.
 
“Okay, then let’s go!”
 
Akatsuki gave out the order, and the four bodies released a dazzling light, completing the preparation for dimensional transfer to the alternative world.
 
At this time –
 
Two shadows came in from the door. Taking a single glance, Akatsuki immediately identified the shadows that were respectively Kaidou Motoharu and Nanase Haruka. The two people were probably just visiting, noticed the signs of dimensional transfer outside of the house, and hurriedly rushed in.
 
Ousawa Akatsuki showed an evil smile.
 
“Specially came to send us off? Must be hard to both of you. There’s no need to worry, we’ll return immediately.”
 
“Huh…? Kaidou? And vice president?”
 
As Akatsuki’s words entered her ears, Miu subconsciously turned and looked behind.
 
What happened next was completely outside of Akatsuki’s expectations.
 
Kaidou, with a speed that seemed to be fast enough to leave an afterimage, waved his right hand.
 
Akatsuki clearly noticed that Miu’s arm was wrapped by a thin chain.
 
“Hey Hey…”
 
Akatsuki’s tone showed some displeasure.
 
“Sorry Akatsuki. This is my first time saying this – Oops, my hand slipped.”
 
Kaidou revealed a cunning smile. At this moment, the light from the four bodies moved through the chain and onto Kaidou. Kaidou’s body also started to glow, completing the preparation for dimensional movement.
 
At this moment –
 
“Are you all crazy?”
 
Attempting to prevent Kaidou, Haruki held onto Kaidou’s arm. As a result, she was also surrounded by a strong dazzling light.
 
“Oh… Even the vice president is coming along for the ride.”
 
Seeing this, Chikage could not help but shake her head, sighing.
 
“What a mess…”
 
Kuzuha helplessly sighed.
 
The dimensional movement was about to begin. Now they could only bring the two to the alternative world as well.
 
“That’s enough, it’s not like we are going to a picnic.”
 
Just when Akatsuki muttered this…
 
A dazzling white light engulfed everything.
