Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 5 Chapter 3 (section)

===Part 3===
 
Akatsuki's condition gradually stabilized.
 
Although everyone obtained some relief, no one was willing to leave the treatment room. Riruru's care was entrusted to the woman in charge of the village's orphanage. Miu suddenly spoke up,
 
"Umm, Kaidou-san..."
 
With a tone full of doubts,
 
"For that person to be so seriously hurt...... how strong was the armor Knight, really?"
 
Her question caused everyone to move their gazes to Kaidou.
 
-- She heard from Kuzuha that the puppet strategy worked perfectly against Disdiya's army.
 
From the start of battle in Gorudono Grand Canyon it looked like the allied armies would suffer a crushing defeat. So Miu wanted to know the truth behind what happened from the person who was watching it directly in the field, Kaidou.
 
"Hmm...... the armor Knight is certainly strong, but the situation is somewhat complicated."
 
Kaidou answered,
 
"I have no way to know him by his looks, but it seems that guy in the golden armor -- is known as Leon."
 
"-- Impossible!"
 
After she heard his reply, Loutier immediately stood up knocking over the chair she was sitting on.
 
Out of all the people present she knew the whole situation better than anyone, and what Kaidou alleged was impossible,
 
"Leon died five years ago...... how can he be alive?"
 
Everyone fell silent. They were all more or less informed of what happened back then. The story of the Hero Leon was well known in Alayzard. It was tale about the Hero who laid down his life in order to protect Akatsuki. However,
 
"I'm sorry but it was your General and Queen called him Leon, not me."
 
Kaidou continued,
 
"If that really is case then it was those two who mistook him. However the three of them were having a looooong chat in front of me. Ah well, before I had to interrupt them."
 
"Then -- it might be a safe bet that it's the same Leon-san who died five years ago."
 
Haruka asserted, but for that possibility,
 
"But still it really is hard to believe that he came back after five years, and more turned into an enemy. And now wants to face off against Ousawa Akatsuki?"
 
A dead Hero becoming the enemy -- this statement was undoubtedly contradictory.
 
However --
 
 
 
"What if the person who brought Leon back is controlling his mind?"
 
 
 
"............"
 
After Loutier heard that possibility she fell silent and dropped her head, unable to reject the theory.
 
"It seems like...... you have some sort of clue."
 
In a monotone voice, Kuzuha softly uttered.
 
Loutier eventually began to speak,
 
"Not too long ago...... Leon's tomb inside Sherfied castle's cemetery was destroyed by an unknown person. Although there was no direct evidence the most likely culprit was Phil Barnett. It seemed that the youth came from the same world as you. In a bid to be recognized as the the new Hero of Alayzard he return to your world...... Still, I heard that you guys together with Akatsuki defeated him, even though he contracted with Zahhaku."
 
"Well...... Akatsuki virtually did everything alone."
 
Chikage said with a wry smile. After that her face immediately sank,
 
"That is to say -- there is a possibility that when Phil destroyed Leon-san's tomb he also took his remains, something like that?"
 
"Perhaps, but that is all just pure speculation. Also Disdiya is the Empire of the desert which happens excell in art of body preservation using the magic including mummification. It is said that some of their Royal families know of a forbidden spell that can recall the soul of the dead and bring a person back to life. Although that is just unconfirmed rumors, but that spell really does exist --"
 
"That means that they revived Leon-san to manipulate him."
 
Haruka couldn't hide her disgust.
 
"That's way too despicable!"
 
"I'm not too sure about all that."
 
While Haruka was trembling with anger, a voice came from the side. It was Kaidou the only one who was there and seen what happened.
 
Kaidou turned towards Loutier to look her in the eyes.
 
"That guy Leon said...... it was Akki that killed him."
 
"No way......?"
 
"That sort of answer......"
 
After hearing what Kaidou said, practically everyone had an expression that said it was unbelievable. That was only natural. It was well know fact that Leon died in order to protect Akatsuki. Only after that Akatsuki obtained his present strength. Supposing what Kaidou said was true, everything will topple from its foundation.
 
But compared to shock when Loutier learned that Leon was still alive, she seemed particularly calm now.
 
"It appears as though you know something...... could we slowly hear it?"
 
The truth will get out -- Kaidou explained:
 
"Sooner or later we will find out if Leon is dead or alive. If it is true then it would be best to hear it directly from Akki, but the situation may change before he regains consciousness...... So, please explain it."
 
"...... I understand."
 
After a sigh, Loutier lightly nodded,
 
"Since things have progressed to this point, Listy probably already learned the truth from Zechs. As Akatsuki friends, perhaps you also have the right to know what happened five years ago -- The truth of the tragedy of Sherfied."
 
"So then...... it's all true after all?"
 
To Kaidou's question Loutier nodded "Yes."
 
"That day it wasn't Galious who killed Leon -- It was Akatsuki."
