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

===Part 4===
In the dark gym warehouse came two different voices. One was the sound of a faint sob, the other was the sound of a metal bat fiercely attacking.
 
“I…Idiot, stop quickly… you’ll kill someone!”
 
Aside from these two sounds, there was the third sound of a panic-stricken voice, but Miu did not stop waving the metal bat.
 
Kuzuha was secretly sobbing behind her.
 
“Shut up, you pervert! What aesthetics, I’m really angry now!”
 
“Ah oh, constantly holding it in harms your body, so why not just let it have an early release and become more relaxed…”
 
“The thing that causes harm is you, your brain, your very existence.”
 
Miu yelled out loud.
 
“Look right now, how do we clean up the mess?”
 
Miu turned back. Aside from the crying Kuzuha, another person’s figure entered her eyes. This person was Izumi Chikage. She was currently gently comforting the crying girl.
 
“—”
 
The sinister relationship they had earlier on had completely disappeared. It was replaced with an atmosphere filled with warmth. This was thanks to Akatsuki’s perverted act. Yes, Akatsuki’s heroic sacrifice helped achieved peace for everyone. Kuzuha was simply the victim, she was humiliated and became the target of Akatsuki’s evil act. Afterwards, Kuzuha, Miu and Chikage all pushed the responsibility to Akatsuki. Even right now, holding a metal bat and whacking Akatsuki was an reasonable act — because everything was Akatsuki’s fault, it was all Akatsuki’s responsibility.
 
“I’m very sorry, for the situation to become like this.”
 
Looking at Kuzuha and Chikage, Akatsuki muttered.
 
“Uuuuu?<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>!”[[File:HYnA vol 01 011.jpg|thumb]]
 
Miu bit her lips tightly and stared angrily at Akatsuki. How could there be such a man in this world? Aside from this kind of cheap move, there was not better alternative?
 
—But then again, Miu could not have thought about this kind of option. At this time, Miu suddenly remembered, it was the same as the time during Alayzard. Akatsuki, alone, defeated her father, with the intention of bearing all the honor and disgrace himself, and tried to maintain the order of the world as well as the balance in power. Once  she thought till this point, she could not help but regret her actions.
 
Compared to the helpless Miu, at least Akatsuki took action. Even though it was a perverted act, he at least took an actual action in response to Kuzuha’s tears, and now he was willing to act as the bad guy, and did not seem to care about the fact he had to accept all the blame from everyone.
 
This was all in order to help Kuzuha.
 
“Well, I shouldn’t have treated you this way.”
 
Miu put down the metal bat, turned her back to Akatsuki, and ran towards Kuzuha and Chikage.
 
Akatsuki’s forced laugh came from behind, Miu quickly took the side of the two people.
 
“Class rep, are you still okay?”
 
Miu looked at Kuzuha’s expression. Kuzuha had removed her gym clothes and her underwear and put on Chikage’s uniform. According to Chikage, she was supposed to change into this uniform after her sexual conduct was over.
 
“Sorry, it was the fault of our family’s idiot.”
 
“I have to apologize as well, I shouldn’t have laughed at you earlier.”
 
Miu and Chikage apologized with a face filled with guilt.
 
“…Well, it’s okay.”
 
At the same time as she was speaking, Kuzuha was still gently sobbing. Seeing this, Miu had a feeling that she wanted expressed out.
 
…She is still so small…
 
She was obviously not referring to Kuzuha’s height, her slender limbs, her childlike face, or her immature body. Don’t you forget, she was still only 11 years old, but she was always faithfully doing her responsibilities as class rep, and leading the students of the class. Her body’s weakness, the pressure of loneliness, even facing against these negative aspects, Kuzuha still chose to fight even risking her own life through her continuous efforts. I’m afraid that these days, she is constantly forcing herself.
 
“Class rep, as I have said before, we will not tell anyone about this, so please be assured.”
 
“Me too, there’s nothing to worry about.”
 
“…”
 
Miu and Chikage both tried to persuade her; however, this type of consolation was just empty talk.
Even they had to admit this.
 
…What should we do.  If we do not think of a plan…
 
On top of being ashamed and resentful, Kuzuha could possibly hide from Chikage from now on.
 
As a result, the deeply apologetic Miu and Chikage would probably avoid contact with Kuzuha as well. Once they discovered that they, themselves, were the reason why Kuzuha slowly shifted away from others, it would definitely cause a large impact on the relationship between Miu and Chikage too.
 
…He had already come forth and acted as a villain…
 
Miu glanced at Akatsuki. After Akatsuki was aware, his face had a strange smile on it.
 
“What, is it time for my aesthetics?”
 
The appreciation inside her heart instantly vanished.
 
“Who do you think caused this! If you feel that you have even a tiny bit of responsibility, then think of a plan!”
Miu could not help but retort.
 
“—Taking responsibility isn’t a big issue…”
 
Akatsuki’s attitude was very relaxed
 
“I just need assistance from both of you.”
 
After noticing that Akatsuki’s expression was serious, Miu and Chikage unconsciously glanced at each other.
 
“…”
 
Kuzuha also raised her head to stare at Akatsuki. Under the attention of everyone, Akatsuki quietly said:
 
“—Are you guys willing to make a contribution to help the class rep?”
 
A serious tone created a tense atmosphere. Miu nodded without flinching.
 
“Of course.” “This is something we are supposed to do.”
 
Chikage also added. Everybody had reached a consensus. Akatsuki nodded and immediately gave instructions.
 
“Okay, both of you stand side by side over here.”
 
“Just standing is okay? Is standing here okay?”
 
Under the instructions of Akatsuki, Miu and Chikage felt confused, but they still followed the orders. Only to see Akatsuki stand behind the two of them, stretch out both hands towards Miu and Chikage’s waist and gently push it once.
 
“Waaaa—!”
 
Miu subconsciously stretched out her right foot, attempting to keep her balance.
 
“—Huh?”
 
However, her right foot did not have any strength. Everything in her sight was shaking. Miu powerlessly slumped down to the ground. She struggled to get up, but her body didn’t even have the slightest strength to do so.
 
“W…What happened…”
 
At the moment when she was attempting to gather her strength from her body…
 
“Uh…?
 
Her waist was suddenly paralyzed. Miu felt a sense of aching and cried out softly, then immediately topped down onto the ground. A closer look revealed that Chikage was also currently down beside her, showing a state of powerlessness.
 
However, it was not over. The feeling of aching and pain coming from her waist continued to increase, Miu felt that her whole body was gradually heating up.
 
“Y…You…What did you do to us?”
 
With fear in her heart, Miu hurriedly questioned Akatsuki.
 
“I did not learn magic from that world, but I did learn a technique to manipulate ki. The technique called Renkan Keikikou can manipulate ki from inside you or others as well. It can be used in several situations.”
 
Akatsuki quietly replied.
 
“I…I have a sense of foreboding…”
 
Miu’s tone was very uneasy. Akatsuki stood behind Kuzuha, both hands placed onto her thin and frail shoulders.
 
“In short, I did something to your ki. This aching and paralyzing feeling will continue to become stronger.”
 
“W…Why? Didn’t you want to help the class re….Ah!”
 
She did not finish, but a sudden burst of numbness made Miu unable to help but scream.
 
“Ah, I almost forgot to tell you guys not to talk, or else the feeling will become even more intense.”
 
Akatsuki added to his explanation.
 
“As for why I did this, you’ll know in a minute.”
 
Miu suddenly understood the meaning behind Akatsuki’s words. Among the swift expansion of numbness, another unbearable feeling emerged. Miu knew what this feeling represented and was shocked.
 
“C…Could it be…”
 
Miu almost couldn’t believe what she guessed. At this moment, Akatsuki coldly said:
 
“—Holding it for too long harms your body.”
 
Akatsuki’s intentions were extremely clear. Miu could not help but shudder. Was he crazy? He could even do such a thing. A feeling came from her belly, and it was exactly same as the feeling of pain that Kuzuha was experiencing earlier.
 
And the sense of numbness made Miu unable to use any strength, even if she wanted to hold it back, she did not have the strength to do so.
 
“Miu….! I…I’m going to…”
 
“N…Noo, Izumi-san! We can’t let this guy get what he wants…”
 
A panting Miu desperately cheered for Chikage. At this moment, Akatsuki, who was looking at the two of them, suddenly whispered into the ears of Kuzuha.
 
“Class rep, it’s time. Just use the method I used before and allow Izumi to release it.”
 
“ “—!” ”
 
Miu and Chikage gasped.
 
…What did he just say? Could I have misheard it…?
 
In fact, they were both aware of what he had said in their hearts, they did not hear it wrong. Today Kuzuha was disgraced in front of everyone. To maintain the friendship between the three of them, the fastest and most efficient way was for the other two to suffer from the same humiliation — But would you really do this?
 
An incredulous Miu raised her head and stared at Akatsuki. Her gaze matched with Kuzuha who was in front of Akatsuki. The petite Kuzuha looked at Miu and Chikage, then raised her head and looked at Akatsuki.
 
“But…”
 
Kuzuha was very hesitant. Akatsuki smiled and shook his head.
 
“There’s no need for you to be hesitant, that’s where the phrase “Good friends share good times, but great friends divide the pain.” comes in. You help keep their secret, and they will keep your secret, both sides would not owe each other and it is very fair as well.”
 
“Fair…”
 
Kuzuha thought deeply, and was staring respectively at Akatsuki and Chikage.
 
Afterwards, she walked towards Chikage, as if she had made up her mind.
 
“…Please don’t hate me.”
 
After saying this, Kuzuha gently latched onto Chikage’s earlobe with her mouth.
 
“Ah~~!”
 
Chikage suddenly issued a sound of extreme pleasure. She was completely liberated. Miu’s face was twisted with fear. After looking back, she suddenly noticed Akatsuki standing in front of her.
 
“D…Don’t come closer! Don’t touch me! Can you hear me!”
 
Miu was shocked pale, but Akatsuki only lifted his eyebrow, with an expression of disapproval plastered onto his face.
 
“Ah, you really don’t know your current situation. I only want to make you recover your original state.”
 
“…Huh?”
 
Miu widened her eyes in shock.
 
“As long as I press other acupuncture points, I can reduce the feeling. Of course, I must be the one who presses it.”
 
“I…If there were this type of acupuncture points, then why don’t you hurry up and…”
 
Miu constantly twisted her body, her tone was almost pleading.
 
“Where? Where is that acupuncture point.”
 
“Near the belly button.”
 
“R…Really? Please, hurry up and press that acupuncture point… I already am about to go—Huh?”
 
Chikage and Kuzuha suddenly appeared beside Akatsuki.
 
Both staring at Miu with a cold expression.
 
“Uhh… Don’t be like this, both of your expressions are very scary.”
 
Miu’s tone was somewhat timid. Only to see Akatsuki shake his head and reluctantly say:
 
“Did you hear this? She wanted to be the only one to stay out of it, what do you think we should do?”
 
“…”
 
“…”
 
Kuzuha and Chikage were completely quiet. After staring at each other, they both firmly nodded.
 
“Waaa, nooo, don’t fool around!”
 
Both of them subdued Miu’s hands.
 
“Don’t be like this, quickly wake up! Friends aren’t supposed to do this! You guys have been brainwashed, been deceived by that devil.”
 
That was Ousawa Miu’s final resistance, unfortunately it was ignored by both Chikage and Kuzuha.
 
“I didn’t think that Miu was actually that heartless…”
 
“Ousawa-kun…Don’t say this much, just hurry and punish this traitor.”
 
Akatsuki deliberately hid his face with his hands, exposing an overwhelmed expression.
 
“Women’s friendship is too great, I was almost moved to tears.”
 
“D…Don’t play this type of trick, you are obviously acting! It must be because I used the recent AD event to laugh at you, so you hold a grudge right!”
 
Ignoring Miu’s protest, Akatsuki silently stretched out his right hand. Miu desperately struggled and attempted to move her belly button towards Akatsuki.
 
But Akatsuki’s face revealed a cruel smile.
 
“Ah I almost forgot to tell you, but the fact about the acupuncture point near the belly button was a lie.”
 
“Y…You…You’re not a human—!”
 
Miu snapped while shouting. Akatsuki’s finger gently touched Miu’s belly button.
 
“Ahhhh        <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>!”
 
The poor Miu screamed, her body bounced up.
 
After ten minutes, the doors of the gym warehouse opened, and Miu and the others were able to see the light again.
 
The savior was Chikage’s tryst partner. Although she had fled at the beginning, she could not forget about the situation so she came back to see.
 
But the three females, who were trapped in the warehouse, had no time to thank her, and immediately ran out of the second arena and directly to the showers.
 
—Leaving only a smiling Akatsuki standing at the same spot.
