Chapter 4: The G4 Summit

Adel faintly recalled receiving piggyback rides from someone. The person who had carried her—no, him—was another child only a little older than himself, someone with a back that still felt somewhat unreliable.

“Waaaaaah!”

“Shh, don’t cry, Adel! Teach already forgave you. You can’t cry about the noogie hurting if you were the one up to no good! That’s uncool.”

“Hngh, mmm... If you say so, Katina.”

“You can call me ‘big sister,’ you know?”

The moment Katina tried to put on a sisterly air, however, she slipped and fell.

“Hngyah!”

After all, Katina was still a child herself, barely two years older than Adel. She barely had what it took to carry Adel and mother him. And when she took a spill, so did Adel. Adel even hit the ground head-first.

“OWWWWWW! Katina, you dummy!”

“Ow, ow, ow. Sorry, Adel!”

Adel wasn’t sure if this was an actual incident that had happened, but she was willing to bet it had. Dreams had a funny way of bringing back forgotten memories. A split second later, Adel found herself at Princess Euphinia’s current age.

“Come on, scoot over!” Katina said while crawling into Adel’s bed.

“Wh— Don’t just come in, Katina!”

“Where’s the harm? I’ve been putting you to sleep since forever!”

“That was ages ago!”

“So, what’s with that bruise on your face? Where’d you go and what’d you do to get it?”

“...”

“Helloooo. You listening?”

“...”

“What, you can’t even tell your big sister?!”

“I...don’t want to make you worry, big sister.”

“Wh— Oh, heh heh heh. Guess there’s no helping it, then. Hey, I have snacks. You want some?”

Both Adel and Katina were orphans with no memories of their parents, but Katina loved Adel like he was her younger brother. As orphans, they held a strong yearning for family. That’s why Adel understood even at this age why Katina was so happy to be called “big sister.”

“Don’t eat in the bed, you’ll get it dirty.”

“Mm? Fwat fwid fwu fay?”

“Seriously?! I told you not to get my bed dirty!”

Around this time, Adel was frequently getting into scraps with a group of less-than-savory characters making their base in the slums where Astal Orphanage was located. Unfortunately, they were backed by a corrupt noble, and Adel found himself fighting way out of his depth several years down the line.

“Please forgive him, milord! I beg you! He had no ill intentions! I’ll make sure he never does it again! Please!”

Katina was on her knees, grinding her head against the ground.

“Stop it, Katina! Why are you debasing yourself to this trash?! They don’t deserve it! It’s dangerous here, so go home already!”

Despite the bravado in Adel’s voice, he was surrounded by several men and his hands were tied behind his back. These men were hoodlums from the slum, but they were currently in a high class residential area far from the slums. Behind the group of gangsters was the noble who they had been paying their dues to. Because Adel’s rampages in their territory had made them late on their payments several times, he’d become a problem that needed to be solved.
