Chapter 148 (1/2)

・ ・ Chapter 148: Little Princess

Let's turn back the clock, to a tiround where all the little kids likedescent of cherry blosso blonde hair and clear blue eyes My first i western doll Like, she was a character from TV She felt, out of this world

“What, are you looking at, nii-san”

Sakura called fro to catch irl a for-ener? I've never seen a real one”

Like maybe an American? That here the blond haired, blue eyes people came from as far as I could tell, at the ti this rather rude conversation with Sakura at that time

“… Is this about, Adelhyde-san?”

“Ada… What? Her na”

“Her full name is Reina Adelhyde Ayase”

I was soner and her surprisingly long nairl, nii-san?”

“Sure aht there!”

“I heard she's actually mixed”

“Oh, you sure know your stuff, Sakura”

“I just, learned it the other day, is all”

Sakura had apparently learned a lot about this Reina Adelhyde Ayase, as fro before I had any clue Of course, she stood out due to her unique appearance… But she'd becoossip for a different reason

“You, shouldn't get too close to her”

“Eh, why's that?”

“Take another look”

When I looked back, I could see her surrounded by lots of kids, they were all talking excitedly

“She's really popular!”

“No, see, they're all boys over there”

When she mentioned it, yes she was All around Reina, I could only see light blue colored sirls, ore a siht distance They looked annoyed

“How come?”

“Hmm, who knows”

“Isn't it just a coincidence?”

“I'd hope so―― Anyway nii-san, let's go back to exploring”

“Oh yeah! Awesoo, Sakura! I'll beat any monster that comes our way!”

“Okay, nii-san”

I had fashi+oned a fallen branch into my awesome sword, and excitedly went onwards in round

After that, I'd practically forgotten about Reina Everyday, I played to my fullest with Sakura and arteners that we belonged to So naturally, I wouldn't have any dealings with kids from another section―― until,

“Uaaaa, aahhhh!!”

At a corner of the playground, I could see so loudly

“This here is Reinchan's castle, you guys will not be allowed passage!”

The boy speaking in amy friend cry, he, no, they, as there were a number of them, stood as a wall as they spoke their threats

The ‘castle' that cay It was the type of stuff you could see in public parks, but this one was themed after a fantasy castle, the very top had a cone shaped roof and ended in a long slide

Many of the kindergarteners were desperate to get to ride such a fun looking slide, but no one had

Ever since the castle had been built, one person had doely, she'd never slid down, always si there, at the top And furthermore, no one had attempted to push her aside and use the slide themselves either As for why, it was because the place was strictly being guarded by the boys in her section Like knights protecting their princess

The knights were too strong, too forceful for the other kids Even the older kids wouldn't dare approach them

But a bunch of my friends from class wouldn't take this oppression anymore They attehts

Teahts seemed to be consisted of practically every boy in their class They'd been outmatched

“Stop it you boys! Don't act so selfish!+”

But airl shouted out in defiance… It was Sakura She had a strong heart ever since she was little

“Sh-Shuddap! This place belongs to Reinchan!”

“Get out of here you doveys!”

“Get out! Get out!”

Faced against so -willed Sakura had a strained face, as if she was about to cry any time

That's when I'd finally arrived

My friends were crying, Sakura was about to, and the ones that'd caused this were laughing in a self-satisfied htest This was the perfect setup forinto action

“Hey you! Don't bully Sakura!”

“Nii-san!”

I ju in front of Sakura

“Who the heck are you”

“It's another dovey”

“Get out! We won't let you have the slide”

I was beco selfishly

“No, I won't! This place belongs to everyone, it's not for just you, you're doing so very bad!”

“Shuddit, this here's Reinchan's castle!”

“That's right, and we're gonna protect it!”

“We ain't letting anyone else on!”

It was childish logic on their part While they were really obstinate about this, we too had really suffered under that oppression

I couldn't forgive their horrible actions But the one I couldn't forgive theat her place at the top of the castle, Reina

It's because of her that the boys were acting like this And those actions were causing everyone else problearteners were thrown into warfare all because of the selfishness of one girl―― Reina, even then, still sat at her spot, looking at a distance, as if the events unfolding below her feet didn't even register

Seeing her like that, rew Her look that told that she hadn't a care for the world, reanizations in those power ranger shows She looked just the type to have her s enact her evil

So I ht

“You daet out! Now you'll pay!”

The loudest yelling boy had finally snapped, he came forward to battle and threw a punch at e swing Yes he was just a child, but this was clearly an act of violence

However, at this tirandpa, so his feeble punch would be exceedingly easy for me to handle

“Yeaart!!”

My choice of counter was a tackle This boy was taller than e His head to body ratio was higher than that of an adult, so his balance wouldn't be as firm This was one of the chief reasons kids fell down so s to lower ed hi, but h to take out a small kid

“Whaaa! Aaaaaa!!”

The boy as brought down by ht bruises Mere kindergarteners just weren't tough enough to continue fighting in this sort of condition

“Oi, what'd you do that for!”

“You made him cry!”

Now furious, well, as furious as little boys can be at least, the other knights were riled up because of their downed co in soout more to meet the same fate It was now a tense, wait and see situation

Trained as I was, even I couldn't take on more than 10 boys at once So I made the first s to everyone!”

I screwed upback anymore, and took down the boys closest toso little, my hands would hurt more

These were just little kids, I just had tolike babies I finished off 3 of the!”
