Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 4 Prologue
Prologue - The Thing That Signaled The End Of Peace
Part 1
Soft sunlight filtered in.
Sunlight spread its comfortable warmth, foretelling the coming of spring. Gentle wind blew into the room from a window which had been kicked open, dancing lightly on a white lace curtain.
To manage the returnees from the different worlds, a district and government with a special purpose were provided.
The sunny spring weather continued to spread on a huge man-made island that stood tall on what was once a landfill, part of the Tokyo Bay.
Still, despite the sunlight and good weather, an ominous feeling seemed to hang over the Ousawa residence.
The reason for such ominous silence was the thing standing down and a little in front of the house's front gate.[1]
Ousawa Akatsuki, she[2] sighed in her mind. Inside were the figures of four people in Akatsuki’s room.
This house belonged to Akatsuki and Miu.
Also, Miu's friends were there, Izumi Chikage and Doumoto Kuzuha.
“。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。”
Akatsuki sat down on the couch, and you could see a girl who sat next to him.
The name of that beautiful girl was Ousawa Miu. The name that actually belonged to Akatsuki’s little sister.
However—the girl over there now wasn’t actually Akatsuki’s little sister.
When Akatsuki was summoned to another world, Alayzard, after the painful end and defeat of the Mao Garius, the Mao committed his daughter into the hero’s care, right before his death.
Myu[3].
That was that girl's real name.
Even though the Mao Garius was now dead and gone, the danger to his daughter remained, so Akatsuki brought her back to this world as his lost sister Miu. Then, with the name of his sister who was no longer with them, they started living together, going to the agency Babel, which was founded with the aim to control and train the boys and girls who returned from different worlds.
Yet, everything had not gone perfectly and so problems had arisen.
One problem was that Myu began her relationship with the hero as the daughter of the demon king he killed. Her father's enemy had been Akatsuki. It was the source of a kind of a hatred that could never really be cured or forgiven.
While settling into that kind of life, both had a short time trying to learn to trust each other while living together.
Then a pursuer was sent from Alayzard to kidnap Myu.
The one who was sent was ironically trying to become the next hero of Alayzard, like Akatsuki, a human summoned from this world called Phil Burnet.
The mortal combat that unfolded during the Ranking War established by the school 'JPN Babel' that Miu and Akatsuki attended was due to this Phil.
Phil had made a contract with a higher dimensional being, the evil dragon, Zahaku[4], though Akatsuki still defeated him. During the battle, Miu risked her own life so as not to involve their surroundings too much, having been brought back from the brink of despair by Akatsuki's strong persuasive skills.
Finally, the level of trust between the two became something worth relying on.
Though on the other hand, the incident would have never occurred were it not for a certain secret of Miu's.
