Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 4 Chapter 1

A Comfortable and Pleasant Alternative World Trip

Part 1

Printing text that could arouse the reader’s emotions completely occupied the cover.

The attractive headlines convey the author’s stubbornness and passion.

Daily Sports News. The front page cover that reports everyday sports competition in the world all had a similar paragraph of text.

“Oh, they actually published it! Ahh~ which one should I choose?”

Kaidou Motoharu, who entered the convenience store, stood beside the counter looking at the goods from the newspaper shelves, he finally selected the Daily Super Sports News with a fiery style. After paying, Kaidou took the newspaper and energetically walked out of the convenience store.

<Shocking News! Visiting Singapore’s Dusk!>

This was the Daily Super Sports News’ cover headlines.

After the headlines, it is a report regarding the terrorist group <Scarlet Dusk>’s destruction of Singapore’s unfinished Babel. However, the destruction of Babel was only used as bait to attract terrorist groups, the United Nations also issued a press release, confirming that the real Babel was still safe and sound.

To construct the high-rise Babel, it requires the usage of a special magic. The construction period cannot be compared with a normal building. If they carry out a large scale construction at the predetermined location, it will become a easy target for terrorist attacks, thus a fake Babel is naturally needed. Even for the fake Babel, the protective measures cannot be sloppy; as Babel is a important facility for C.O.C.O.O.N., a weak protection would inevitably reveal the authenticity of the building. Therefore, there has never been a record for Babel to suffer an attack during construction.

“—This record was finally broken by us.”

After reading the report, Kaidou folded the newspaper and tucked it under his arm. He then took out us phone and selected a number from his contact list and pressed the dial button.

“…What’s the matter?”

After the phone call connected, a girl’s dull and indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone.

Kaidou cannot help but give a wry smile.

“There’s no need to be so cold right, I haven’t offended you. Mimi, are you currently free to talk?”

“No, please keep it short.”

The girl’s reaction suddenly made Kaidou crack a smile. Although she says that it is inconvenient , she will still chat for an awfully long time. Even her appearance of being indifferent was just to hide her warm-heartedness.

At this moment…

“…I can see your face revealing a strangely annoying smile, can I hang the phone call now?”

“No way, you can even see this? This is only a phone call, but you still keep a stiff attitude!?”

Kaidou patted his face and retracted his frivolous look.

“Mimi, Actually I have something to ask you, the all-knowing person. After yesterday’s mission in Singapore, didn’t I return back earlier? So I want to know the aftermath of the event.”

In short –

“- Who was the last to stay?”

Through the phone call, Kaidou Motoharu asked his companions - <Scarlet Dusk> members a question.

After receiving the notice from their commander, Kaidou and several others flew to Singapore from various locations in the world to meet up, and together destroy the fake Babel’s construction. Yes, they knew from the beginning that it wasn’t the real Babel.

Even though it was a fake Babel, it’s protective measures and hardness of the building was no different to the real Babel.

Therefore, the mission of destroying the fake Babel was ultimately the best field exercise.

All these efforts are to destroy the real Babel.

This mission had nearly full attendance, except for one person. That’s right, the only absentee was the boss. Even receiving the commander’s notice, <Scarlet Dusk> founder still used the excuse of “The great Amazon is calling me>, and directly expressed his willingness to not participate.

This was not an excuse for shirking, currently he should be in the Amazon lands alone.

After the mission for destroying the fake Babel had ended, Kaidou immediately left Singapore. Because it was the commander’s request to monitor Akatsuki’s movements.

“I did not stay till the very last moment, and is unclear about the situation. Commander also seems to have left the scene early.”

“- But you should have “seen” it right?”

Kaidou chuckled with an appearance filled with confidence.

<Scarlet Dusk>’s mission mode has always been meeting up and disbanding at the location, after the mission has been completed, it is up for the individual to decide their next action, the organization will not interfere, thus, the past Kaidou was never interested in the after-actions of other members. However, the situation this time was different, before Kaidou and them started the mission, they have received information about a few C.O.C.O.O.N members tried to use this chance to eradicate <Scarlet Dusk>, thus, when Kaidou left Singapore, there were still various bloodthirsty members staying behind. C.O.C.O.O.N viewed <Scarlet Dusk> as a thorn, at the same them, <Scarlet Dusk> also viewed C.O.C.O.O.N as a pest, both camps have the goal of getting rid of the other.

“… The C.O.C.O.O.N responsible for India and China Babel seemed to take advantage of the summit and went to Singapore to investigate, as a result there was a conflict with Luka and Claire.

“Oh wow, they really fought against C.O.C.O.O.N.?”

In his excitement, Kaidou could not help but raise his voice. This is confidential information that would not appear in the news media or the internet.

All the news media are subjected to strict controls and will block off any unfavorable news about C.O.C.O.O.N. It is evident that C.O.C.O.O.N has a large influence.

“So…Who won?”

Compared to Kaidou, who was jumping up with joy, the tone on the other end of the phone seemed to be extraordinarily calm.

“Both sides fought for a while, and in the end there was no victor. It seems that the battle was too intense and attracted a large crowd of media and onlookers, so it ended abruptedly.”

“What….So boring.”

With his expectations dashed, Kaidou hid his inner disappointment.

Although C.O.C.O.O.N controlled the world’s media, but they could not stop the chatter between individuals. To C.O.C.O.O.N or <Scarlet Dusk>, they both do not hope to reveal their secrets in front o f the world.

“Since you were looking forward to it, why did you not stay in the first place? You seem to like standing at the sidelines and observing.”

The tone on the other end of the phone seemed to disapprove, but Kaidou smiled slightly, and did not mind.

“That’s okay. Fighting is the greatest “stage”, but I still prefer to be the auedience. This is also the reason why I wanted to be close to that guy.”

“So you deliberately live in the self-governed area and even became a Babel student? But you cannot ignore the commander’s summons; it must be hard to hide this kind of thing.”

“Ahah, there is a trick for it.”

Kaidou was slightly arrogant. The self-governed area always had strict control measures for the alternative world returnees.

However, these measures all follow certain rules.

“As long as you understand the rules under the “frame”, you will naturally find a loophole.”

“Just as they say a good swimmer drowning in shallow water, don’t overdo it.”

“Reset assured, this kind of sneaky act is not difficult for me.”

“…There’s no difference between you and a cockroach.”

After saying this, the other side hung the phone.

“Huh? Hey…Hey…Hey…? Mimi? Really, she does not even give me time to say thanks.”

Kaidou sighed, put away his cell phone and leisurely walked towards the residential areas.

Currently Kaidou’s position was the self-govern area’s 3rd residential area, approximately 40% of JPN Babel students lived here. Kaidou’s own apartment also belonged to the 3rd residential area.

But Kaidou’s direction was opposite of his own apartment. The buildings on two side of the road were almost all single-family houses. Kaidou walked leisurely in the quiet residential area.

After walking for a while –

“Oh! Here it is, that’s the place.”

The building that Kiadou had set as the goal appeared in his visions. That place was his recently met “Best Friend” living place.

“Why not use the rare spring break to increase our freiendship. Aki, you must be looking forward to it too right?” Muttering to himself, Kaidou suddenly widened his eyes.

“Oh, looks like someone was here first.”

Kaidou scratched his cheek looking awkwardly. In front of Akatsuki’s doorstep, stood a familiar girl.

“Geez, what just happened?”

Kaidou carefully looked at the girl in front of him. Even during spring break, the girl was still wearing the school uniform.

The Student Council and Disciplinary Officer ‘s armband was sparkling.

Yes, the girl was JPN Babel High school division Vice president – Nanase Haruka.

Part 2

Akatsuki walked into the living room carrying a tea tray, on the sofa Miu’s eyes were still red.

Chikage and Kuzuha was staying beside Miu’s side.

I should give them a bit more time, Akatsuki thought.

…However, determination could possibly be shaken through the passage of time.

Miu and their friendship, at this time it had reached the very peak. So – Now is the best chance.

“- You guys listen carefully.”

Hearing this, the three all unanimously looked at Akatsuki. Akatsuki directly took in the all three of the gaze and slowly said:

“Following this, I have some personal matter to deal with, so I may leave for some time. However, you don’t have to worry, leaving and coming back will all happen at the same instant.”

After noticing the meaning inside Akatsuki’s words, their expressions immediately became serious.

So Akatsuki decided to allow them to make their own choice.

“I will give you guys an hour. If you intended to come, then come find me on the 2nd floor. However, please do not act based on personal feelings, carefully think about it then decide.”

So Akatsuki left the living room and returned to his own room. He then spread out the newspaper that he tucked under his arm. What was greeted by his eyes was the report of the terrorist act on Singapore. Almost all of the Morning News were reports about this incident, he had saw this news while eating breakfast, so Akatsuki was not unfamiliar with the contents of the report.

<Scarlet Dusk>, an important clue connecting to his father.

Ousawa Akatsuki understood this, after hearing the report, he was clearly shaken.

His father who created the world’s most powerful terrorist group <Scarlet Dusk>.

His brother who was in the executive team of C.O.C.O.O.N, affiliated to the organization which control the world.

To stop the two people standing on this world’s peak is Ousawa Akatsuki’s own goal he set for himself.

But after calmly considering it, Akatsuki did not think that this attack had any relationship with his father.

“There is 80% chance that shitty pops is in Africa…no, Amazon enjoying himself.”

After coldly snorting, Akatsuki throw the newspaper onto the table.

He then sat on the bed, resting his hands on his knees.

“- Just you wait.”

The vaguely discernible, but distant brother.

And the unknown whereabouts father.

Ousawa Akatsuki did not care who starts first, thus he boldly made the declaration:

“After solving the other side’s “missing object”, I can only move forward.”

- It was nearly 30 minutes later that the sound of a gentle knock came from Akatsuki’s room’s door.

“Come in.”

Under Akatsuki’s beckon, entering room was the three girls.

Akatsuki carefully looked. Looking at the ones opposite of him, they did not try to avoid his gaze and the three had a firm expression on their face.

“…Are you certain?”

Akatsuki asked question to them, to act as the final confirmation. The three girls all nodded without saying a word.

Looks like they made up their mind. So Ousawa Akatsuki stood up, his face had a hint of a smile.

“Great, then let us prepare to go to Alayzard.”

Part 3

“In the end, what am I doing…”

Looking at the cement wall with the door sign inscribed with “Ousawa”, Nanase Haruka could not help but quietly complain.

Today was the first day of spring break, but including Haruka, JPN Babel high school division Student Council Member, they must deal with the aftermath of the school ranking tournament, this also includes re-examining the school’s security system. However, after meeting with Kubota Kaito in the school, Haruka suddenly discovered that things weren’t that simple.

Kubota brought the new AD – Arms Device and handed to Haruka.

A mysterious figure took advantage of the ranking tournament and invaded JPN Babel, causing a number of students and staff members to be injured.

Thanks to Akatsuki who stepped forward, they successfully resolved the crisis, but no one can guarantee that this situation will not happen again, it is possible that there may be a more severe situation in the future; after all, Babel is a remarkable goal for terrorist. To prevent this situation from happening again, delegates at the C.O.C.O.O.N summit had reached an agreement, and take measures to prevent the possible terrorist attacks, that is the AD upgrade program.

Not only will the new AD be able to materialize a weapon, it can also base on the user’s instructions instantly switch into the battle uniform mode. However, the battle uniform mode is only limited to clothing made from the special telepathic stone’s fibers – such as the school gym uniforms, thus the school has decided to catch up during the spring break, before the new year starts and initiate a uniform design plan.

As the new AD was completed, the school immediately started a synchronization test for new uniforms and the new AD, the chosen tester was Haruka. As part of Babel’s best scientist, Kubota’s masterpiece will naturallyhave no possibility of error and the test was well within everyone’s expectation, obtaining words of success beforehand.

Thus, the new AD and new uniform design plan had closed – until now it went fairly smoothly.

…The real problem has yet to come.

Just when Haruka was about to return to the Student Council Office, Kubota took a new AD and ordered Haruka to give this AD to Akatsuki, to replace the missing AD he had lost when fighting against the mysterious dragon.

Why me? Haruka could not help but complain. But it was strange as Haruka did not have any ideas to refuse.

Haruka did not say anything and accepted the AD from Kubota. Actually she could have asked others to deliver the AD to Akatsuki, after all she is a member of the high school division Student Council Member of JPN Babel, she had assistants that help deal with chores. What was strange was that Haruka never thought of entrusting this matter to someone else.

This was the reason why Haruka appeared in front of Akatsuki’s home.

… I’m unwilling to admit.

Nanase Haruka thought. During the ranking tournament – No, it should be before the ranking tournament, she was very conscious of Akatsuki’s presence. Why? She did not know and did not want to know. So Haruka had already been hovering near Akatsuki’s home for nearly an hour and is still unwilling to press the doorbell.

… People who do not understand the circumstances must have treated me as an suspicious person.

What the hell! A member of JPN Babel Disciplinary Member will actually look like a suspicious individual in the eyes of the other!? Just what is Ousawa Akatsuki, Just what from that guy makes me hesistant, and even be treated as a suspicious character? Thus Haruka took a deep breath and in her heart, made up her mind –

There is no need to hesitate, just relax and do it. Pressing the doorbell, giving out her identity, then hand over the AD to Akatsuki and that’s it. Simple, isn’t it?

But just when Haruka was about the press the doorbell…

“ – Isn’t this the Vice President?”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

A sudden sound came from behind, Haruka was suddenly shocked to a certain extent.

Turning around, a youth appeared in her visions. Nanase Haruka was not unfamiliar with the youth, the other was the class’s famous truancy king.

“Kaidou Motoharu… Why are you here?”

“Akatsuki is my “best friend”, occasionally visiting shouldn’t be too overboard right?”

Kaidou shrugged.

“So why are you standing in front of Akatsuki’s home?”

“I…I have come to give something to him.”

After saying this, Haruka suddenly thought she was in trouble.

“…It can’t be that you actually saw it.”

“Ah? Saw what?”

Seeing Kaidou’s puzzle looked, Haruka was relieved. Looks like he did not notice that she was hovering in front of the door, while she was thinking embarrassedly.

Thank goodness. If that embarrassed look was seen by others, she must have fainted on the spot.

So Haruka pretended to be calm and said:

“Nothing, I have just arrived recently.”

“Really. But I probably arrived 30 minutes ago and saw you standing in front of the door.”

Kaidou’s nonchalant response entered her ears, Nanase Haruka suddenly felt dizzy. Although she was not shocked to that extent, but she almost lost consciousness, her face became more red and flushed.

“W…Why do you not say anything?”

“It can’t be help, the changes in expression of the vice president was really interesting.”

“Y…You, why can’t you pretend you didn’t see it? You’re really not considerate at all!”

Just when Haruka was about to scold with Kaidou.

A sharp sound suddenly appeared at the scene.

“This sound… It can’t be a dimensional transfer?”

Haruka immediately looked at the direction of the sound.

Near Ousawa’s home second floor space started to appear to be distorted. It could not be wrong, this was the sign for dimensional transfer, someone is being summoned to an alternative world.

At this moment –

“- Damn, there was still this trick!”

Kaidou, whose face was becoming pale, immediately sprung forward. The door did not seemed to be locked, seeing as Kaidou easily open the entrance door and went straight into the house.

“W…Wait a minute!”

Haruka, who was behind a step, hurriedly tried to catch up.

A blinding flash occupied the room.

Sitting on the bed, four people were holding hands forming a circle. The one who was commanding was Akatsuki who was among the four people.

“Very good…slowly take deep breaths and imagine Alayzard’s scene in your head.”

Akatsuki looked at Miu beside him, which was the center of the light.

As a resident of Alayzard, Miu had access to the direct them to that world.

As long as Akatsuki followed the essentials of the <Gate of Another World>, and use Renkan Keikikou and inject ki into Miu’s body, he can produce the current scenario. In short, the key to opening the dimensional movement. After that, Miu just had to concentrate and they will be able to use the <Dimensional Hole> created when she entered this world to return to Alayzard.

Besides from Miu, Akatsuki also injected ki into Chikage and Kuzuha’s body and at the same allowing the ki forming a circular orbit. Before when Akatsuki brought Miu through the <Gate of Another World>, she had also used these two techniques.

As a result, all four of the people gained the ability to go through dimensions.

“Okay, then let’s go!”

Akatsuki gave out the order, the four bodies released a dazzling light, completing the preparation for dimensional transfer to alternative world.

At this time –

Two shadows came in from the door. Taking a single glance, Akatsuki immediately identified the shadows that are respectively Kaidou Motoharu and Nanase Haruka. The two people are probably just visiting, noticed the signs for dimensional transfer outside of the house and hurriedly rushed in.

Ousawa Akatsuki showed a evil smile.

“Specially came to send us off? Must be hard to both of you. There’s no need to worry, we’ll return immediately.”

“Huh…? Kaidou? And vice president?”

Akatsuki sound entered her ears, Miu subconsciously turned and looked behind.

What happened next was completely outside of Akatsuki’s expectation.

Kaidou, with a speed that seemed to be moving fast enough to leave a afterimage, waved his right hand.

Akatsuki clearly noticed that Miu’s arm was wrapped by a thin chain.

“Hey Hey…”

Akatsuki tone had some displeasure.

“Sorry Akatsuki. This is my first time saying this – Oops, my hand slipped.”

Kaidou revealed a cunning smile. At this moment, the light from the four bodies moved through the chain and onto Kaidou, Kaidou’s body also started to glow, completing the preparation for dimensional movement.

At this moment –

“Are you all crazy?”

Attempting to prevent Kaidou, Haruki held onto Kaidou’s arm. As a result, she was also surrounded by a strong dazzling light.

“Oh…Even the vice president is coming along for the ride.”

Chikage seeing this could not help but shake her head, sighing.

“What a mess…”

Kuzuha helplessly sighed.

The dimensional movement was about to begin, now they can only bring the two to the alternative world as well.

“That’s enough, it’s not like we are going to a picnic.”

Just when Akatsuki muttered this…

A dazzling white light engulfed everything.
