Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 1 Chapter 1
Chapter 1 Hello Reality
Part 1
Whether you are ready to go out or just get up, the time is seven o'clock, and welcome to the news 07~
The TV show awakened Akatsuki who slowly opened his eyes, he was clearly the latter.
"...... Huha ...... ah?"
Akatsuki, not yet fully awake scratched his stomach, confused to where he was. After seeing the morning news on the TV, he remembered he was in the family's living room.
"...... Oh, I returned yesterday."
Today's story was about a puppy. Takahashi's pet Rex would wait for the mailman everyday. Rex was rambunctious, and when the mailman would come he would climb the fence and shove his nose into the mailbox, excitedly sniffing the mail. The mailman watched the dog, and said "Rex jumped up for it today too! ”
"...... The same, unintelligible program."
Watching morning news added a little 'back to the real world' type of feeling.
...... Why am I sleeping on the living room couch?
His memory was still not coherent. Is a relationship between head, autopilot, or a lazing about state? First things first shower. Akatsuki trudged out of the living room, and opened the dressing room door, to take off all his clothes, after he shoved the dirty clothes into basket, went into the bathroom. Ah, the shower head hanging on the wall seemed lower then expected. Squeezed a bit of shower gel and shampoo, washed his body and hair, closed the faucet, then stepped out of the bathroom, picked up the towel and wiped his dripping and wet hair.
"Oops forgot to prepare some clean clothes."
Although it's Akatsuki own world, he's forgotten all about lifestyle of this world, and thus cannot help but shake his head and sigh. So he hung the towel around his neck and proceeded to the second floor room.
After opening the door, Akatsuki went directly towards the closet drawer and took out a clean pair of underwear.
"- Ah?"
Akatsuki suddenly found a girl lying on his bed. Judging form the girls serene face she was sleeping quite comfortably on the mattress.
Akatsuki finally remembered why he slept on the living room sofa.
He thought to himself "outrageous".
Akatsuki slowly moved to the bed, and looked at the beautiful girl still in a dreamland.
...... Wow an outrageous pair of boobs.
In addition to gigantic, it was difficult to find a more appropriate adjective. It was difficult to not pay attention to the enormous twin peaks slightly shaking with the girl's breathing, Akatsuki couldn't help but swallow his saliva. How big are they actually?
"First a touch or two ...... No, I should first explain the situation. Wake up, hurry up! Hey!"
Akatsuki gently shook the girl's shoulder, surprised to find her huge breasts also moved around from the shaking.
...... Acura.(highest grade; best quality: best quality green tea)
The rare spectacle couldn't not help but make Akatsuki narrow his eyes.
"...... Well ...... ah ......?"
The Girl slowly opened her eyes. He saw her eyelids blinking sleepily, her misty eyes fell onto Akatsuki's body.
"-!"
Her body froze from shock immediately.
"Hey Hey, are you okay?
This was not a cross-dimensional after effect, right? Worried Akatsuki stretched out his right hand towards the girl, but the sight of her immediately made him aware of the problem. That's right, the key is how he is dressed.
"This ...... I can explain ...... calm down, I'm not malicious, really please you must remain calm, okay?"
Trying to calm the girl in this situation was far from good. It was not a trivial situation to explain, but anyone could easily misunderstand the situation. Waking up and opening your eyes to find the opposite sex standing nude over you, the vast majority of men may have cheered. But in the same situation as a girl the results can be dramatically different. Her horrified look was the best proof of that.
Looks like the stimulus seems to be a little too strong. Akatsuki took a deep breath and told himself inside his heart to calm down.
If you panic, the girl will have a deeper misunderstanding? The priority now is to try to get her to calm down, so Akatsuki squeezed out a smile. A smile is common worldwide language.
"This is my world, rest assured. ”
"- Your a pig!"
After being bluntly retorted, was followed by a hot and spicy slap.
"- I think it would better to introduce myself first."
Stroking his swollen cheek, Akatsuki kept a smiley face.
"My name is Ousawa Akatsuki, Akatsuki is fine. When in Alayzard, everybody called me the "Rogue Hero". Well, anything else would you like to know? ”
"...... Why are you standing naked in front of me? ”
"I said this is a misunderstanding, right? I just had a shower, and came to get clothes only, but this problem has nothing to do with self-introduction? Believe it or not, just so nothing really. Uh ...... what's your name? "
"...... Myuu."
"- What?"
The Demon Lord's daughter told Akatsuki her name, but he immediately suspected he heard her wrong.
"You, your called beautiful rabbit ......?" (Translation: it sounds like Rabbit.)
Akatsuki revealed an incredible look. This is not true, right? A little bit too clever. But the exposed girl in front of him had an expression of disgust.
"...... No."
She shook her head.
"Not the beautiful rabbit it's Myuu. My name is Myuu. ”
"- Myuu original, so it is, ha ha ha?."
Akatsuki let out a hollow laugh, it seems he really got it wrong.
But the girl's name, also reminded Akatsuki that he must deal with something as soon as possible. For Akatsuki, the girl's presence was like a reminder, remain alert and not let himself be lazy.
- Is this destiny or a hoax?
Akatsuki scratched his cheek. A simple breakfast, toast, poached eggs and milk, was on the table. Akatsuki looked at the girl sitting opposite of him.
Such disdain for everyone ...... explosive bust, great body, cute tone of voice.
"...... Your eyes feel very disgusting."
"You think too much. You've just come to a different world, must be too much to handle. ”
While out of focus, Akatsuki could not help but secretly admire the girl's courage.
Not everyone ...... dares to go alone to a completely unfamiliar world.
Part 2
When he was in Alayzard, Akatsuki with Lisa Sidi, Sykes and Lu Tiye were apart of a four-member team.
But Akatsuki took it upon himself to challenge the demon lord Galius, after the overthrowing of the demon lord he alone would bear all grievances and grudges. Akatsuki decided long ago to leave Alayzard to prevent any repercussions.
Akatsuki received a challenge from the Demon lord Galius. The demon lord had his own ideas for Alayzard's future. Galius chose the demon lord's castle - throne room as the place for the duel with Akatsuki. Only there can a one on one duel happen, without any interference from the two camps of troops.
But the demon lord's castle stationed a large number of soldiers, so the Demon lord Galius specifically dispatched his only daughter to act as a guide being Akatsuki's eyes and ears into the castle.
No conversation, no dialogue between the two, the last battle at that moment to kick off, a bitter fight to the end resulting in victory for Akatsuki.
On his death bed, Galius asked Akatsuki for a final request.
"Please take care of my daughter." Her mother was a dark wizard, but looks quite similar to a human, there should be no risk of being seen through.
That was the demon lords final wish. The demon lord was once in love with a dark wizard, she gave birth to a daughter between the two, but the wife eventually was killed at the hands of humans, this heavy blow caused the demon lord to discarded human identity and raise an army.
Akatsuki at first did not want to take this hot potato, however he thought of Lord's sudden death, after the destruction of the Kingdom the Princess will face a tragic fate. Especially if the Lord's daughter ends up in enemy hands, or being punished for the demon lords death in battle, definitely there will be no happy ending. Coupled with the fact that Akatsuki would bare all grievances, and thus disappear from this world idea, after Akatsuki leaves Alayzard human vengeance will point to what remains in this world, the devil's daughter. Based on the principle of him assuming responsibility, he had reluctantly agreed.
Akatsuki also put a condition that she must return to his world, a very important detail. If you want to entrust your daughter to me, you must accept the possibility that she will never return to this world. Akatsuki did not wait for the demon lord, but turned and stared at Myuu, asking if she was willing to commit to her own fate.
If the answer is Yes, please take my hand.
Myuu nodded without hesitation, and clenched his right hand.
But Akatsuki was a bit surprised, he thought Myuu would not agree. Myuu's expression is very calm, she said demon lord Galius had foreseen his own death. If a true hero showes up, follow him and go live with him.
Akatsuki immediately looked back at the demon lord, however he had passed away.
"-? How did you bring me into this world? a resident Alayzard can not pass through the <gate to another world>.
Myuu gave him an incredible look, Akatsuki easily shrugged.
"Well, I just found a loophole. ”
In fact the using mixing loop power of Renkan Keikikou confused the <gate to another world>. This is the last in Akatsuki layer boundary learned skills, Myuu is certainly unknown. Strictly speaking, no one knows of this method in Alayzard, the way Myuu came to this world is like a blind spot in the blind spot.
"Yes, oh ......"
Myuu bowed in silence. Akatsuki originally thought Myuu would continue to pursue further, Myuu's reaction made him feel a bit surprised.
After a moment of silence -
"- What should I do?"
Myuu paused
"I am considered an alien in this world, if my true identity is exposed, wont you get into big trouble, right?"
"Ah ...... it is true, but don't worry about it. You are the notorious demon lords daughter in Alayzard, but besides you and me, no one else in this world knows your identity."
"But there is always a case to worry? Magic that I use, only the demon lord can use my type of magic."
Myuu started to look worried, but Akatsuki still shook his head.
"Don't worry."
"Why? Are there no magic users in this world?"
"No, just the opposite."
Akatsuki exposed a mischievous smile.
"Magic does exist in this world, but only just as a budding."
Akatsuki was not the first person who had been summoned to an another world.
Several thousands of people had been summoned to another world.
Initially, of course it caused great confusion, but as more and more people are summoned, research on this phenomenon is gradually matured. Nearly half of them returned safe and sound from a different world, life is full of mysteries.
Different world calls began about thirty years ago, but not to a single world but rather several different worlds, according to the people who safely returned. Alayzard is just one of many different worlds, currently the total number has exceeded ten different worlds. People summoned to an alternate world all share a common traits, each person is a teenage boy or a girl, and in the alternate world they learned learn magic, special ability, and so on.
Present in each different world is <gate to another world> where can return to your original world from the alternate world, however you must return within five years. Once over time limit, you will never be able to return from the alternate world. Based on a educated guess, the <gate to another world> automatically registers those who stay for more than five years as part of the other world.
After returning from a different world, time doesn't pass for the person who left, this was a shock to the scientists. Also the abilities learned will remain in that person. Returnees get skills beyond that of typical human capacity, and can be regarded as a new hope for human development, however they will often be treated as a dangerous presence.
The new United Nations co-founded an organization several years ago--G7, which is Japan, the United States, Russia, China, India, Oceania Federation and the European Union in order to protect and monitor all of the alternate world of returnees.
That is the "Tower of Babel" BABEL "school." Its purpose is to guide young men and women who have special abilities on the right path, and use their power to contribute to human prosperity and development. "Babel school" is widely established in the territory of all Member States of the new United Nations and Japan, Tokyo is a satellite city of the zoned campus, with the right to self-govern.
The huge campus houses all different world returnees, and the establishment of schools, primary schools, secondary schools, universities and institutes at all levels. Returnees receive general education at the same time the school designs special courses for each regression, exercising their special abilities gained in different world.
Admissions eligibility is only for returnees that went to a different world. In contrast, Those who return from another world are forced to attend "Babel school", no exceptions. Of course, the intention is to have those with a special ability to be isolated from the general population.
In short, the "Tower of Babel" cannot let any returnees refuse.
"-So we must also attend the school, huh? ”
"Yes. Babel and special autonomous region has gathered a lot of returnees, even if one or more people more use magic, it wont raise any eyebrows."
Akatsuki pauses for a moment, then continued on:
"In fact, this is a guest house located in the territory of the autonomous region. My brother is a graduate of the Tower of Babel, Dad hasn't come home in a long time, and no other family, so it is very safe to stay here."
"Yes, oh ......"
Myuu seemed relieved, but Akatsuki shook his head.
"Don't think you can escape the grasp of Babel, as I said earlier, the Tower of Babel will not let any returnees refuse, last night I and the sudden appearance of two-dimensional gate was probably observed, if I guess right, Babel should soon appear. "
"Then what do I do? ”
"Rest assured, I have good idea. ”
Compared to the worried Myuu, Akatsuki seems much more optimistic.
"When I decided to take you to this world, I developed a battle plan. While not entirely sure, but ... ... it should be smooth and clear."
"Why are you so sure?"
"- Because the mischievous goddess of fate, seems to be on our side."
Part 3
The special educational institution aim is to guide returnees on the right path.
It is located in a corner of Tokyo Bay, Firefly Observatory inside the artificial island.
In addition to the sea and by air, you can also arrive via autonomous undersea tunnel.
Maintaining the natural beauty of the mountains, and advanced technology crafted into the town set in stark contrast, showing a natural symbiosis of technology and future outlook, perhaps the most desirable city view.
In the center of the artificial island merged with the natural environment is the university campus, in addition to forests, lakes and hills, including research institutes, laboratories and even the stadium so large the small facilities combined can't fill it. One of the most noticeable is the high-rise that soars into the sky.
The alternate world returnees school hall.
The special educational institution set the crowd in awe and fear of the great building.
Tower of Babel.
Within the walls of the tower, is a circular space. They stepped beyond the walls of the auditorium, this place is the third arena, but also JPN Babel entrance examination are held.
Not to "test" but "check" the difference between freshmen admissions, the focus of the investigation is on the performance of freshmen retuning from the different worlds, and what new abilities they have now. Most of the students belong to the fighting type, which also has a small number of good research students; entrance examination is to identify everyone's strength--sexual orientation is also a necessary link.
Examination is divided into four major parts, medical examination, using of magic elves Nolan checks the history from the past to the future, the oral examination conducted by examiners to determine personality traits, as well as instructor test testing combat skills.
Myuu and Akatsuki are waiting for the medical examination reports, in the waiting room. Although different world returnees are in the thousands, but measured in global population of 6 billion, the chances of it happening are slim. In Japan they were too few in number, because of that they were at a premium. That is why Governments around the world are actively researching each case to find different routes into the other worlds.
Here is the arena lounge, resting on the seat Akatsuki is leisurely straightening his legs, waiting for the results of inspection. Sitting beside him is Myuu looking ill, Akatsuki could not help but sigh.
"Come on, just be confident in yourself, okay? Its not like this was unpredictable? ”
"If they found out I was not from this world ......"
Myuu wispered, Akatsuki nonchalantly waved his hand.
"Relax. Your boobs are a little big, but still in the acceptable range."
"I didn't mean that!"
Blood composition and physical structure are similar, but if they find ... ...!
Myuu is biting her lower lip anxiously staring at Akatsuki.
At this time, the medical staff with the test results appeared.
"Ah ...... Ousawa Akatsuki?"
"Yo."
Akatsuki heard him and immediately raised his right hand. The doctor opened the folder and glanced over the results then handed over the folder to Akatsuki.
"No problems with your health, please bring this information to accept Nolan screening. ”
"Okay, Thanks."
After Akatsuki took the folder the health care workers turned to face Myuu.
"Ousawa Miu."
"Yes ......"
Myuu stood up with trepidation. Medical staff opened the folder and quickly glance at it, then suddenly stopped somewhere in the inspection report.
"-!"
Myuu suddenly froze.
- A tense moment.
Medical staff closed the folder.
"Nothing abnormal, please accept Nolan screening."
"Thanks, thank you ......"
Myuu took the folder with your trembling voice, immediately sighed heavily.
...... Thankfully, it's finally over.
She tapped her chest and at the same time a big hand suddenly placed itself on the top of her head.
A deep voice with a trace of a smile passed her ear.
"Look, they said no abnormalities."
Myuu raised her hand up to confirm Akatsuki hand on her head. The fact that her identity was not exposed settled her down a bit. The cover of the folder had a strange name, Myuu silently read those two words.
Ousawa ...... ...... ...... Miu
Akatsuki prepared a new name for Myuu, he used his sisters name because her current whereabouts are unknown. After learning of Akatsuki plan for Myuu's enrollment number, she suddenly understood why yesterday morning he started giving her such a weird look.
- in fact Myuu's Blood composition and physical structure are different from humans form this world, however the results of blood tests and CT scans all went smoothly.
Why? the reason is simple. When return from a different world, under the pressure crossing dimensions, the human body will change slightly.
Myuu also learned of this yesterday from Akatsuki, but is was too late for her to be psychologically prepared.
On the second day after coming back to this world they received Babel's entrance application. Under the pretext of human rights returnees were given an application to attend Tower of Babel, however in fact it was mandatory. When you received the application you must surrender within one week-. Otherwise Babel will dispatch personnel to force and arrest you, then summon you before a court. But this time a staff member from Babel personally served the application to them, Akatsuki expected this would happen. so when the staff member asked for Myuu's identity , Akatsuki red in the face of told a flagrant lie.
- This is my sister.
After missing for a long time she recently came back, but also we returned together from a different world.
Akatsuki's rhetoric has not been questioned, after all normal test results are the best proof. Since crossing dimensions will produce changes in the body, changes in the memory is also very reasonable. It would be natural to assume that was the reason for her memory loss.
...... Fairly smoothly so far.
"- If the next step goes smoothly you can safely get away with it.."
Myuu listened closely to Akatsuki somewhat stiff tone. Right, next is Nolan screening.
They use wizard magic to get a perspective of your past, present and future history.
Urðr is the goddess in charge of the past, Verðandi is the goddess in charge of the now, Skuld is the goddess in charge of the future.
Nolan screening uses Elf Magic to obtain the three goddesses ability to get the perspective subjects past, present and future. However the screening will not show the subject's life in every detail, but will use the poem that roughly approximates the subject's history.
No matter what the past can't be changed through magic - this is done to see which goals the subject can achieve in the future.
In short, the Nolan screening receives top priority in Babel's entrance check.
The ability to see the future is not absolute, subjects can embark on another road through self-determination, and therefore change the results presented at the Nolan screening, however the one presented is the most likely future.
Akatsuki handed his folder to the magic officer.
The inspectors received the data, and motioned for him to sit down.
"Ousawa Akatsuki close your eyes and relax as much as possible."
Akatsuki could not help but coldly retort.
"This is not a fake hypnotism, right?"
The inspectors face sank.
"--- No talking. Just let your mind go blank."
"OK, OK."
Akatsuki closed his eyes.
The next few seconds Akatsuki cleared his mind. The inspector during this period as if inspired wrote very quickly.
The speed of the pen was amazing. When Akatsuki opened his eyes the inspector had finished recording.
"Was hard work."
The other officials gathered around the inspectors recording and quickly scanned the contents.
"Well ...... this is ......!"
Forensic officers eyes suddenly widened, curiously staring at the inspector. The screening is the automatic writing of the unconscious, even the inspector doesn't know what he wrote.
After the inspector read the screening records, he suddenly jumped up from his chair.
The expression on his face is very stiff, as if saw something unbelievable.
"Doctor, how is it?"
The other staff have all leaned over.
"What's wrong with you ......?"
Myuu anxiously looked in on the situation.
"God knows, I don't have anything to be ashamed of in the past."
After they finished, Akatsuki gave a hint of a smile.
......My perverted past may actually.
The forensic officers after discussing it with other staff members for some time placed the screening records on the table.
"Ousawa is the above description true?"
"Let me take a look at it."
So Akatsuki quickly glanced at the poems written on the paper.
In the world of Aleizard, you arrived on the path of the true hero after experiencing despair and loneliness.
Even when you defeated the demon lord, your war was still not over.
Now you do not have the blessing of the gods,
Only the truth of the heart will lead you to a higher level.
Future soon after, the King will face a tough choose.
under two hopes shine the correct path -
When Akatsuki received the Nolen screening at first he didn't know how to interpret the contents of the poems. But it seems the Psalm is divided into three paragraphs each should respectively representative his past, present, and future. The past and present Psalms just describe facts that have been identified, while the future has uncertain factors included. What is interesting is that in the past and at present by 'you ' symmetric, actually turned into ' overlord to the future', this has stepped onto a higher boundary on behalf of oneself, or is it a mission that leads me take the correct path when faced with the overlord of choice.
...... I become a King.
Akatsuki could not help but smile while shaking his head.
Whether King refers to himself or others, Akatsuki would not be too surprised.
Am I right?
At least two people have to stand on the high ground of the world.
This text clearly describe the task of over coming something hard.
But in addition to Akatsuki and the two men, I'm afraid no one would understand the meaning of this text.
The only thing that puzzled Akatsuki was "under two hopes shine the correct path." Perhaps to the "future soon after" I will naturally find the answer, right?
At this time -
"- Ousawa is the description of the past is true?"
'...... The past?'
Forensics officer looks at Akatsuki, he did not mind him.. Akatsuki again read the Psalms carefully, and did not find any problems.
"...... Ah, it should be at the facts."
The only controversial point was probably that he was just "rogue hero", "true hero" should be Rennes son.
Perhaps because he overthrown the demon lord, he will be described as a hero.
At this time -
"Ousawa!"
"What now?"
"In the past Nolen screenings no one has ever been screened as a 'True hero'. If this really is true, you're JPN Babel ......No, it should be in the history of the world the first person!"
"Really? only a small proportion of people on the call.."
Say "rogue hero" is more in line with his image.
"The number doesn't matter, what matters are the Nolan screening results."
Forensics officer nodded.
Although being summoned to another world allows someone to learn magic, whether you can be smoothly adept to magic, and thus get formidable strength, however my talent is the most important key. Survive alone in a strange world in which differences, it is already a commendable achievement, and only a handful of people can get another chance to fight on the battlefield, not to mention to get a power that can dominate the world, Akatsuki is undoubtedly among the very few minority.
However the inspector also appears to have a puzzled facial expression.
"...... But there is one thing thats isn't clear. It said you did not have God's blessing, I think it should mean that you cannot use magic ... ..."
"Ah, of course."
Akatsuki replies without hesitation:
"- I can't use magic."

"Good, good risk of......"
Myuu shoulders are going up and down, as if gasping for breath.
Pale moonlight shines on the bed, Myuu is wrapped in a thin sheet while staring at her hands tightly griping the alarm clock made of artificial marble over Akatsuki who lost consciousness. Seem to be a despite situation but assisted by the alarm clock smoothly saved the day. Although almost shaken determination to avenge her father, but this situation is really just a as critical.
“…… Not dead, right? ”
Myuu timidly poked Akatsuki's cheek.
"Well ......"
Akatsuki's reaction relieved Myuu, she quickly slipped down from the bed, her hand holding up her pajamas, immediately dashed out of Akatsuki's room. What happened tonight with him should be bygones; Akatsuki was knocked out, then he should have no clear memory. And -
His sister ...... has died.
Akatsuki would not joke about his sister's life. And the look on his face was very sad, not like lying, so it should have been an accident but what is the truth.
"...... Good night."
Myuu is going to school tomorrow, this is the first time in my life. If still alive-no, if you are really in heaven watching me ... ...
...... I do not know if my father would be happy or not for me?
