Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 5 Prologue

Part 1

Blowing sand and dust flying outside the window.

Sand obscured the view signifying the start of the storm.

The strong winds made the window rattle, yet inside the room there wasn't the slightest amount noise.

Disidiya's imperial palace stands in the heart of the desert. The imperial palace main body uses the special design in order to be not affected by the sand storm. Without the slightest gap between the external and the internal walls of the city walls, even the sound is almost completely cut off from outside.

As a result a person in imperial palace cannot hear the roaring in village.

"- Father, how is it going!"

Disidiya IV Prince Adams is very excited.

Location is the Emperor's Office. Adams questions the person sitting on the throne.

Baram Dy Alon Disidiya

But ......

"......"

Baram not only remained silent, he didn't even look at Adams.

So Adams again with a clear tone expressing dissatisfaction.

"Why ... ... Why do you ignore the resolution, and aim to attack the Wandering forest! ”

After Akatsuki, Listy and others fight ended, Adams who was investigating the nation border in route got the news of Ghelber formally declared war on the Disidiya.

The reason of declaring war with Disidiya, because of the unauthorized intrusion into the Wandering forest.

After receiving the report, Adams almost suspected it to be false. Sherfied held a meeting with the four-nations, although not an official conference, at least the international meeting involved the leaders of the four countries.

The meeting concluded with an agreement between the leaders of the four countries - Its binding nature was on a international level.

In addition, Akatsuki displayed his strength and received the support of international public opinion.

In accordance with the conference agreement, Alayzard should re-investigate the attack against surveillance force by Ghelber again, while expanding the investigation in order for truth to be made ​​public.

However, Disidiya is ignoring agreement made be the four countries at this point is on track to attack the demons. This is bound to attract criticism from the international public causing domestic people's doubts and uncertainty. Although the majority of people hate or even fear of Demons they hope a devastating war between the two can be avoided.

The biggest problem, however, lies in the fact they lauching an attack on the eve of re-investigation of Ghelber events.

Attack at this sensitive point in time, people will inevitably think Disidiya aims to destroy evidence, and the attack against surveillance force by Ghelber was actually Disidiya doing.

However Adams does not believe that, he believes that Disidiya is innocent.

The results of investigations along the border, at least proves that Adams's opinion.

But ...... who issued the investigation order ......

Adams silently gazed at his father, Baram.

He needs to confirm personally from Baram.

"...... A small part of the people think that the monitoring force attacks, in fact, as the countries of our military - it is to stimulate the arms trade and self-direction of a farce"

"A few people...... believe that surveillance forces attack was in fact our countries military – In order to stimulate the weapons and ammunition trade by directing this farce."

Adams tone is full of doubt, and he hopes his father will deny it.

"Father ...... surveillance forces attack wasn't done by your orders, right?"

"...... No."

Baram shook his head, meaning that he had nothing to do with it.

However this is not the answer that Adams wants. Baram's both eyes are still staring at the void, avoiding Adams eyes. Such a perfunctory reply doesn't satisfy Adams, but instead makes him doubt Baram in his heart.

"Why must we invade the Wandering forest!? Sherfied and Aleclasta and our country have a military alliance, so long as our country set the request both countries will not sit by and do nothing. However, if this aggressive action is initiated by our country's alone, our country alone must shoulder the responsibility of the war. Not to mention the agreement made be the four countries, Ghelber along with the human world.- In other words, Alayzard peace agreement will be torn up with any military action, and will force our country to face condemnation from around the world. Your father should understand that!"

Compared to very impassioned Adams, Baram's response was very cold.

"The world's condemnation ......"

Until now, Baram looked straight ahead, but now took a look at Adams.

"- It seems you do not know anything."

"Of course I know very well. Father's decision was a big mistake!"

After a bitter retort, Adams turns around at once, and is about to leave the office.

Then Baram's voice came from behind.

"Where are you going?"

"Sherfied. I can order the Disidiya military to cease fire, but this may not prevent Ghelber and Aria. Queen Listy can stop Akatsuki because of their personal friendship. There is no other person who can avert this war."

"So ...... seems to be no choice."

Baram's voice trailed off, the office door was abruptly pushed open.

Several soldiers filed in from the door.

Royal Knights - Baram's personal guards.

Adams found himself immediately surrounded.

"...... Father, what does this mean?"

"This is the meaning. Just as you thought."

Baram said:

"This is the point of no return, your actions will only prevent our country and the people from injustice. From now on, you are no longer the state affair of Disidiya. I must detain you until I lift the order."

"Nonsense ...... Isn't the fall of countries because of unrighteousness men, right father?"

Adams tried to approach Baram, but unfortunately he could not do so.

A Royal knight stands in the middle of the two, the rest of the knights have stepped forward to subdue Adams. Baram quietly gaze at this scene scene, coldly orders:

"Away."

"This is wrong ...... father, please reconsider!"

Several Knight's were dragging Adams out of the Office, Adams still did not give up and turn around –

He shouted toward office front door that was slowly closing to Baram:

"Turn back now, Its not too late ...... I beg you, father!"

However, the cries of grief from Adams did not reach Baram's ears.

After a loud noise, the thick door closed completely.

Part 2

"It is not too late ......?"

After the office calmed down, Baram muttered.

At the same time, in his heart thinking over Adams's advice.

However, Baram still believes his decision is correct.

"Now is too late ... ... so already unable to turn back."

After a short pause -

"Whether we ...... or the whole Alayzard."

Part 3

A strong shock wave swept the battlefield.

Total annihilation, an unrivaled shock-wave came from Akatsuki's Demon Sword.

Focusing on a full critical attack, the shock-wave radiating out in every directions leveling the Disidiya vanguard army above ' Wandering forest' surrounding plains.

However, did not result in Disidiya army thinking about withdrawing.

"Do not fear! Swordsman squadron 2, attack! Tank unit, launch -!'

At the forefront of the division a young commander gave the order, suddenly on the battlefield bursts of gunshoots.

Disidiya pride tank unit, looking like armored beasts, one after another issued a terrifying ROAR.

But -

"This kind of thing is kids play against me?"

Facing the High-speed artillery shells, Akatsuki screamed.

Akatsuki can Dodge, can use his demon sword cut the shell in half, or even redirect the shells they are not a problem.

However, Ousawa Akatsuki has actually abandoned these options.

It seemed to pass throught his feet building up a chain loop "Renkan Keikikou", using a high-speed circular sword strike, the shells raining from the sky landed in front of swordsman team intended to join the assault. After the earth shook and heavens spun, The Perfect Storm, flying everywhere was earth and sand on the battlefield.

But the Disidiya soldiers continued to break through the smoke and dust of the and bravely launched an assault.

But -

"No, he disappeared? How is it possible!"

"He didn't escape, right?"

Disidiya soldiers falls into confusion.

Akatsuki sat and waited, overlooking the soldiers.

"Do I look like a run away coward?"

"There, above!"

One soldier noticed Akatsuki, but unfortunately a step too late.

"Woo oh oh oh oh!"

"Why ...... How can a man be this powerful ......"

"- Why?"

Ousawa Akatsuki couldn't help but think of himself when he was in pursuit of a higher level in the past, also had asked the same question.

That was five years ago, when I first summoned to Alayzard.

When under Sylhid protection of VIP status living in the city of El Dia.

After receiving training in swordsmanship in the palace courtyard, Akatsuki had a similar problem.

Partner was Sherfied--no, Alayzard's premier "hero".
