Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 7 Chapter 2 (section)

===Part 8===
 
When Miu finally opened her eyes it was already noon.
 
However, that was not the reason she overslept.
 
It was because last night's "Test of courage" stimulation was too strong.
 
When Akatsuki was half asleep, he mercilessly gave the four pleasure until they collapsed from the bliss.
 
The girls were incapable of resisting, they had no choice but to accept it and fell into a deep sleep.
 
Only Kuzuha was able to escaped the magic hands of Akatsuki, however it was Chikage that brought the essential oil that led to the drunken deep sleep state. The only exception was Haruka.
 
Haruka had woken up, and had already left the Ousawa home. She did leave behind a note however.
 
It said she borrowed the bathroom, and had a prior engagement to get to.
 
Haruka seemed to have escaped any damage of sexual berserker mode of the half asleep Akatsuki.
 
Miu herself didn't know how she did it.
 
......Umm...... I can't remember much of anything......
 
At that time with Chikage and Listy, Miu's body and mind were completely under the control of the raging storm of pleasure by Akatsuki. After losing consciousness, it was no wonder that she couldn't remember what happened last night.
 
Akatsuki had already got up before everyone and had gone out. She thought that he mentioned something about needing maintenance for Sleipnir, so now he should be Babel. However, the truth about last night is now more and more of a mystery.
 
-- However, at the bottom of the note, Haruka wrote "Everyone defended with their lives!"  After reading that, Miu was comforted a little. Akatsuki did do other things, however she is afraid to find out exactly what.
 
"......"
 
Just when Miu was contemplating.  
 
"......Ousawa-san?"
 
Suddenly, someone called her name. She turned and looked towards the voice to find it was Kuzuha. Miu quickly regained her awareness.
 
"Oh, s-sorry. It's nothing, I'm just staring into space....."
 
Miu had stopped moving her hands. Right now, Miu was combing Kuzuha's hair using a brush.
 
Because of Akatsuki teasing last night, everybody woke up with a lot of sweat. Like Haruka the first thing they did was have good bath. The four girls divided into two groups, the first was Miu and Kuzuha.
 
After they bathed, it was Listy and Chikage's turn to use the bathroom. Miu and Kuzuha were fixing their appearance.
 
.....She called me Ousawa-san, Ah .....
 
Miu stared at Kuzuha's back sitting in front of her, Miu concealed her inner regret.
 
After wake up this morning, she had gone back to how she normally calls her name. Apparently, it seem that she doesn't remember a thing from last night.
 
That was probably impossibility anyway. Kuzuha at that time got fairly drunk off the effects of Chikage's aroma. But, at last Kuzuha, who doesn't let out her feelings, expressed her true feelings. After finally learning her true feelings, she still couldn't do anything.
 
...... Of course not.
 
Miu nodded.
 
"Hey....."
 
She took the initiative to talk to her irreplaceable friend sitting before her:
 
"Kuzuha......your hair is very beautiful."
 
Then,
 
"Huh--? "
 
Kuzuha turned her head back to look at Miu.
 
She had a slightly surprised expression, Miu sat there nonchalantly.
 
"Are you feeling alright, Kuzuha?"
 
This was the second time she called her by her first name with a calm tone.
 
However, since Kuzuha has no recollection of what happened last night, so Miu's move was very abrupt.

Kuzuha's inner desire had unexpectedly come true, and in that moment her cheeks turned red.
 
"...... No, nothing."
 
She turned her face forward looking somewhat embarrassed. After seeing such cute behavior, Miu put on a mischievous smile.
 
"Huh? Kuzuha, somehow your face is all red."
 
She softly hugged Kuzuha from behind, and lightly tokes her cheek.
 
Miu actions were implying that she also wants Kuzuha to call her by her name.
 
Then without a choice Kuzuha sighed.
 
"Its annoying to say nothing ... ... Miu."
 
Although the tone somewhat awkward, Kuzuha finally address her as Miu.
 
Then Miu smiled more brightly and pulled Kuzuha in closer.
 
No matter how precocious, Kuzuha is still just a kid.
 
-- And such a cute one at that.
 
Miu like a spoiled child began to tease Kuzuha.
 
"One more time Kuzuha ......okay, I want you to call me Miu again."

".....Unpleasant, hurry up and help me with my hair."  
 
"Unless you call me Miu. Come on, hurry up."
 
"Don't just push someone's head into your chest, okay? You cow."
 
"Don't be like that! Your response is too cold now!"
 
Kuzuha said in a awkward way, Miu instinctively raised her voice resentful.
 
At this time ......
 
"–-Help, save me!"
 
The living room door suddenly flung open, and Listy ran in only with a bath towel.
 
"L-listy-san what happened? "
 
Miu asked, however Listy only blushed.
 
"Chikage said she wanted to wash my back, but then –-"
 
"Oh......""......It's not surprising. "
 
Both Miu and Kuzuha somewhat understood, as their eyes met for a second.
 
"There was no need run out so fast, was there?"
 
Chikage also followed wrapped up in a towel with a wry smile on her face.
 
After seeing Chikage, Miu can't help thinking--Chikage really had changed a little.
 
Maybe some weight came off her shoulder's, she looks happier than she was. Thinking back, Chikage has always been considerate of other people's needs. Although her behavior now seems to Miu a little unnatural.
 
......Must be that person did something.
 
Miu let out an smile filled with trust.
 
Akatsuki didn't simply sexual harass everyone last night, rather created a situation in which everyone would have to band together with Chikage, through actions and words to completely free her heart.
 
The same way that person help Miu up till now.
 
While she thought "Thank you Akatsuki" in her heart, Miu can't help but say:
 
"Chikage-san that's no good.....because Listy-san isn't immune to that sort of thing yet."
 
"From the sound of that sentence, it seems that you have produced immunity, right Miu ....."
 
Kuzuha said, then......
 
"Eh--" "Oh ......"
 
Listy and Chikage both noticed the change in Kuzuha at the same time, and both opened their eyes wide.
 
Chikage respond immediately.
 
"You said? Oh ....... "
 
"..................W-what?"
 
Chikage now has mischievous smile, as if finding a new toy to play with.
 
She leaned in close to reduced the height difference to Kuzuha eye level.
 
"Oh, hello there miss heartless, Kuzuha ..... earlier you called Miu by her first name."
 
"Uhm..... If you don't mind, can I also call you by your first name."
 
Kuzuha face turned red as she looked away from the embarrassment.
 
"Chikage ...... Like that, right?"
 
But ......
 
"With this perfunctory tone, how are you going to heal my broken heart?" [[File:HYnA vol 07 010.jpg|thumbnail]]
 
"......Then what do you want me to do?"
 
Kuzuha asked timidly while glancing up at Chikage.
 
"Well.....call me Chikage-oneechan in a exceptionally cute voice."
 
".......O-okay. You can get lost right now, stupid."
 
"Wow, rebellious."
 
Chikage smiled wryly, then shrugged her shoulders and stood up immediately.
 
"Listy, we haven't finished washing yet, come back to the bath with me."
 
"B-but wait..... Chikage？"
 
Chikage ignored the confused glances from Listy, and grabbed her by the shoulders and forced her out of the living room.
 
While watching them interacting in their own way, Miu mumbled: "I'm glad ...... "
 
Letting Chikage organize a sleep over here, really was the right decision. It looks like everyone got closer after all.
 
The only regret is probably that Akatsuki and Haruka aren't here right now.
 
Miu really wants to stick out her chest and loudly tell Akatsuki.
 
We've become really good friends.
 
But ......
 
"......I wonder if Haruka is all right?"
 
Kuzuha heard what Miu muttered, anxiously she said:
 
"She said she was going to be over latter, but her friendship with the other members of the student council should be deeper than with us. If a student Council Member strongly urge her to stay, I don't know if she'll change her mind....."
 
"-- Don't worry about it, Kuzuha."
 
Miu said so in a assertive tone, because she had an absolute confidence.
 
Last night we promised to support and help each other from now on.
 
At that time, in Haruka's eyes wasn't a hint of hesitation nor a lie.
