Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 8 Chapter 4 (section)

===Part 8===
 
"You really are clever Ousawa-kun. It's a pity -- but, you found out just a little too late."
 
Inside the shrine within JPN-Babel.
 
Hikami Kyouya watched everything through the fast asleep Miu on top of the altar. Perfectly content he deepened the cold smile on his face.
 
"Incidentally -- That youthful girl you guys were praising so highly was in actually merely her thoughts given form."
 
Kyouya look back behind at Miu still lying there on the altar.
 
It was as Akatsuki imagined.
 
After taking all that effort to get his hands on Miu it was only natural that it was impossible for Kyouya obediently give her back.
 
"Such an important thing, of course I couldn't let it out until the bitter end."
 
And then -- the altar with Miu on it suddenly changed.
 
The light that had been emitting from Miu changed from white to gold.
 
After perceiving the change,
 
"Apparently, it appears that I'm finally able to fully dominate her spirit."
 
Kyouya said with profound emotion.
 
Having sealed the power of an ultra-high-order-lifeform by placing a seal on Miu's ego.
 
The offspring between a half dark elf and human had an appearance was approximately the same as a human being's. However, in a situation where an ego was occupying such a "vessel", it was impossible to exert the power of an ultra-high-order-lifeform.
 
Phil Barnett before couldn't demonstrated even half the power the that was Zahhak along the same lines.
 
Miu, above all, was not conscious of the fact she was a ultra-high-order-lifeform. So similar to that, the magic she had manipulated in her thought form were wind spells that were her strong point all along. An absolute barrier of a higher life form was also never been unfolded as well, because she had not been aware of the existence of power in her.
 
In this case, the power as an ultra-high-order-lifeform was not stable.
 
However -- that said, forcibly controlling her ego could end in destroying it in the processes.
 
Left in a situation where her mind had fallen into disorder, it would become almost impossible to control to her.
 
So there would be no meaning to it. After all, manipulating that power of an ultra-high-order-lifeform was going to place Kyouya at the apex of the world. Therefore, it was necessary to completely dominate Miu's spirit.
 
But -- in what way could the human mind be dominated?
 
...... The approach was very simple.
 
The first step was to push the person's mind to the brink of despair.
 
After weakening their willpower to the limit -- the next part was to offer a glimmer of hope.
 
The mind that was on the edge was like a person that was drowning. They would tightly clutch onto that last straw.
 
As a result, a great gap will to produced in their mind. Allowing for a chance to get deep down in the depths of their psychology. For that reason Kyouya enlightened Miu as to the ideas and background information on Akatsuki.
 
In an unconscious state, implanting memories wasn't any trouble.
 
And,
 
"When interacting with the other girls, she was constantly repeating "Everything will be okay." Believing that you Ousawa-kun would keep them safe... ... It was like a mantra."
 
Miu words were meant to reassure Listy, Haruka, Chikage, and Kuzuha, and it succeeded in deepening each other's bonds.
 
"-- However, those words weren't born out of an absolute trust and consideration. It was only that she herself wanted to believe it so."
 
In such a way, Miu was often anxious. After Kyouya spotted such, he took advantage of this gap to enter her mind.
 
And -- it succeeded in the worst way. He was able to create the illusion that her beloved Akatsuki had betrayed her. After losing consciousness gradually the seal on the ultra-high-order-lifeform power inside her began to unfasten. And as he anticipated, Miu gave her thoughts a body to condemn what Akatsuki had done.
 
The deeper the affection the greater the shock of betrayal would be, and also the hate.
 
The love she had for Akatsuki, and belief in him the word "lair" had a very severe meaning behind it. It was undoubtedly the wailing of Ousawa Miu's very soul.
 
It went accordingly to Kyouya's meticulous plan to push Miu to the depths of despair.
 
But......
 
 
 
"...... You really did save her when her mind was under such turmoil."
 
 
 
Hikami Kyouya had always highly evaluated Ousawa Akatsuki influence.
 
His father was the founder of Crimson Twilight, and older brother was the implementation leader for COCOON.
 
And the same blood as those two people was inherit in Akatsuki.
 
Also there was no doubt there was considerable charisma within Akatsuki himself.
 
-- In fact, he has attracted a lot of people around him.
 
And many among them were even willing make enemies out of the world, and also share the same fate as him.
 
Maybe it was precisely because of that Akatsuki was able to win the reputation of a hero in the alternate world of Alayzard.
 
Furthermore, even the demon king entrusted his daughter to the human who defeated him  Now, Miu even though her father died at his hands sincerely trusts him.
 
Also according to Kyouya's expectation, Akatsuki tried to save Miu's mind that gave into despair.
 
Thus, Miu once again open her mind to Akatsuki.
 
Completely unaware -- it would become the gap to which allowed himself(Kyouya) to completely control her mind.
 
"Thank you Ousawa-kun...... for moving according to my plan."
 
It was so. Everything went as Kyouya calculated.
 
Both making Miu fall into despair, and arranging for Akatsuki help her.
 
This was all measures of Kyouya's careful planning.
 
In an effort to completely control Miu's mind.
 
So as to fully release the power of an ultra-high-order-lifeform, and bring it under his control.
 
"Well then...... it's time to proceed to the final stage."
 
As he muttered so, Kyouya spun around.
 
Several red ropes arose from the walls and ceiling stretched out towards the altar in the center of the room Miu was sleeping on.
 
The ropes coiled around her arms and body, while slowly lifting her up into air.
 
Then through the ropes the golden glow that was emitting from Miu's body spread out to the whole room,
 
Vu~ u~ u~ u~ u~ u~ u~ u~ u~ u~ u~ u~ u~ un
 
Together with low mechanical sound, a three-dimensional geometric magic patterns began unfolding over and over again.
 
The link to the ultra-high-order-lifeform had started to be established.
 
As he looked on,
 
"...... Well, until the link is set up, I still have a little time on my hand. Then, how should I dispose of those nuisances from earlier?"
 
Hikami Kyouya began to slowly walk out of the room.
 
While floating a sneer of absolute zero on his face.
 
"Before becoming God of this world -- I can't let a single one remain."
