Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 5 Chapter 2 (section)

===Part 7===
 
After she received the task of standing off against the lone female attacker, Loutier used flight magic so she could rush to the front line as soon as possible.
 
Before the campaign began Sherfied's officers and soldiers received orders to avoid combat as much as possible. This command was in line with Akatsuki's 'I do not want anyone unfortunate sacrifices in the war' wish.
 
-- However avoid fighting didn't mean they shouldn't retaliate if attacked, and let them onslaught us.
 
Since Akatsuki was willing to let this girl alone challenge an enemy's camp, he must have recognized her strength. Therefore an ordinary soldier would be no match for her. Out of Sherfied's faction probably only Listy, Zechs or Loutier could compete with her.
 
Therefore Loutier Trum used her flight magic. She used a different principle of wind magic to move forward. The auxiliary magic used didn't catch the wind, but rather split the atmosphere in front of her allowing her to rush to the destination without any resistance.
 
Soon after, the front line came into view.
 
The soldiers had descended into chaos.
 
A huge lion huge was running amok, back and forth breaking apart the formation with a small girl on its back. Seeing this Loutier immediately stopped mid-air, and raised her magic gun to the ready.
 
"Everyone move away from the target! I'm going to fire!"
 
After receiving Loutier's instructions the Sherfied soldiers scattered in all directions at once, leaving all but one in the empty space. She aimed at the small assailant left in the center and fired.
 
An ear piercing high-frequency laser beam rang out out of the blue, impartially hitting the target in front of her -- then the huge lion ahead made a beeline for her.
 
This of course was a warning shot meant to intimidate the other party, but it didn't stop the little girl and the lion.
 
The lion dashed diagonally forward then jumped atop the steep rock wall. Taking a horizontal posture towards Loutier, and darted away.
 
......The girl and the lion have no intention of involving the other soldiers......?
 
If she stayed in the canyon mixed in with the other soldiers, naturally Loutier couldn't keep on shooting.
 
Yet the girl deliberately chose the hard road. Loutier was free to keep shooting at her several more times. The girl moved up and down along the rock face, dodging the incoming shells while continuing to outflank her.
 
"Uhh... ... There's no way."
 
Seeing that her shots couldn't stop the girl, Loutier focused her mind.
 
The magic formation unfolded as she unleashed her magic. Only this was not a magic attack.
 
What she chanted was a defensive barrier of the highest level.
 
Moreover it was not used to protect herself.
 
The barrier was stretch out in front of the lion that was continuing to scamper away. And the next moment -- A loud bang echoed. The lion collided with the transparent wall, not visible to the eye.
 
The girl that was riding on the back of the lion was thrown into the air because of the momentum.
 
"-- Argh"
 
Still, the girl adjusted her posture in the air, and prepared to landed on the ground. Just after she landed the Sherfied soldiers encircled her. Loutier slowly descended from the sky in front of the girl. The girl was petite. In contrast with her giant lion sidekick made her seem even more immature and delicate.
 
......It seemed a like overkill......  
 
Filled with anticipation of meeting the small girl in the front of her, Loutier can't help but smile. This girl alone rushed into the enemy's camp, so she believed that her strength must equal the other two girls defending the central and north path, or maybe even have more ability than them. It seemed that Loutier overestimated her strength. Although the average soldier would be no match for this girl, she wouldn't pose much of a threat to Loutier.
 
"Are you a fellow of Akatsuki's? You alone jumped into the enemy's camp, you must be up to something. Its a pity but I can't let you plan to succeed."
 
Loutier composed herself as she told her quietly.
 
"If you have a letter or message from Akatsuki, please hand it to me directly. I can pass it on, and please get out of here at once. Like Akatsuki as well as your other two fellows attitudes towards the coalition forces, we have no intention of hurting you."
 
At this time, the girl looked carefully at Loutier.
 
"Pointed ears, silver hair, plus a magic gun -- Are you Loutier-san?"
 
"Yes, I am."
 
Surely she must heard what she looks like from Akatsuki. Perhaps this girl was trying to confirmed whether to trust us. It would have been better if he passed on his message himself, but -- the girls next words were the exact opposite of what Loutier expected.
 
"If you know Ousawa-kun then you know how he acts, and I'm sorry but I can't walk away from this."
 
The reason was simple, the girl goes on to say:
 
"Because we are just like you -- and to us, there are things which are non-negotiable."
