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

===Part 5===
 
At that time, the Hero Leon Esuperio kept a dark secret.
 
The first to accidentally stumble upon the secret -- was none other than Akatsuki.
 
Within his heart and soul Akatsuki just wanted to become stronger, so he secretly shadowed Leon. It resulted in Akatsuki discovering the startling "truth" before anyone else.
 
Usually when Akatsuki and Leon trained together they didn't do anything special. However, he believed the reason why Leon was so much stronger must be some kind of ritual he does alone. But Leon was the Hero, which greatly limited his opportunities to do so. At most, he had a set day in which he returned to help his mother Selina with the restaurant.
 
That was Leon's private time, so no one chose to disturb him. Still, Akatsuki decided to secretly track him back to the "Wildcat Pavilion."
 
-- But contrary to Akatsuki's expectations, Leon really had quietly returned to the restaurant to help his mother.
 
Secretly hiding out behind the restaurant Akatsuki had a view of kitchen. He watched as Leon helped his mother with the cooking. Then after they closed the restaurant the two of them sat down to a meal. It was the very picture of a mother and son having a happy dinner.
 
So Akatsuki also once concluded that spending time with his mother Selina, and that wanting to protect his family was the secret to Leon's strength.
 
The sun had set and the darkness had already set in, Akatsuki was ready to head back to the castle when --  
 
The back door suddenly opened and Leon came out of the restaurant.
 
From the shadows Akatsuki could clearly see a sword in Leon's hand. He was sure Leon was off to go train alone. Leon had stopped before his father and sister's grave for a moment before heading off into the forest.
 
The thought of becoming as strong as Leon -- or at least catch up a little to his level welled up.
 
Again, Akatsuki followed after Leon. However, tracking him through the woods at night proved difficult. Not long after he lost sight of Leon.
 
But -- if he turned back here, he might never learn of Leon's secret. Akatsuki refused to give up. As before this late at night the forest was empty, still he desperately kept looking for Leon's whereabouts. And by chance he caught a glimpse of Leon stepping into a magic circle on the ground, and then disappearing in an instant. Akatsuki knew of the existence of the <Shift Gate>, and guessed that the magic had the same kind of effect. If he followed suit he might be able to catch up to Leon. But, if he messed it up somehow, most likely he would never return. Akatsuki had to chose whether to remain there or to chase after.
 
-- If he turned back that might of been his last chance.
 
However, Ousawa Akatsuki made his decision. After all, waiting there would get him nothing.
 
And If he really wanted to get stronger he needed to follow after Leon to see what his special training really was.
 
So Akatsuki slowly stepped into the magic circle.
 
And in the next moment he stood in an unfamiliar place.
 
Even in the pitch black, Akatsuki understood that this forest was different from the one in Sherfied.
 
After confirming the existence of a magic circle to return, Akatsuki let out a sigh of relief before setting out in search of Leon.
 
Soon after he heard the sound of fighting far off in the distance.
 
Akatsuki started running towards where the noise originated from.
 
And -- what he saw was the brutal "Truth."
