Volume 4 - Prologue

Prologue – I Asked Leticia About Her Hypothesis

Leticia di Meteor is a woman I met on my way to the city of Fort Port. She had long, shimmering golden hair and a graceful green dress.

Her well-groomed appearance makes her look like a “secluded young lady,” but in reality, she is a strong-willed young lady who fights evil with her fist.

She is also the reincarnation of one of the calamities──the Brilliant and Arrogant Dragon.

However, Leticia does not intend to destroy the world but rather to use her power as a calamity to help others, traveling from place to place.

The purpose of her journey seems to be to find her younger brother, the Gleaming Greedy Dragon,” but──

Leticia looked up at me with her blue eyes and told me.

I, Kou Kousaka, am the Gleaming Greedy Dragon.

“…Are you serious?”

I asked, feeling surprised inside.

“You are not joking, are you?”

“Yes, I am serious. The symbol on your [Item Box], your out-of-the-ordinary growth and success, your noble greed to save everyone and everything──it’s all circumstantial evidence, but I’m certain that Kou-sama is the Gleaming Greedy Dragon.

Leticia’s eyes were filled with strong conviction as she said this.

We were at the observatory next to the inn.

The full moon was floating in the night sky, silently illuminating us.

“The Greedy Dragon was originally supposed to be summoned as a calamity that would bring death and destruction to this world. But there was no way that gentle child would accept it. He must have activated [Awakening] in order to defy the role he was given.”

[Awakening].

It is a unique ability of the Greedy Dragon that transcends the boundaries of common sense and causes unorthodox changes, evolution, and growth.

“The result is that the child completely rejected his role as a calamity by being reborn as a human named “Kou Kousaka” in a completely different world. Then, by some chance or of his own volition, he became a [Transmigrator] and came to this world. …That’s what I think.”

“I see.”

Leticia’s hypothesis is forced in some areas, but that does not mean that there is no clear evidence to deny it.　

Assuming that I am the Greedy Dragon would explain a lot of my nonstandard power.

“Kou-sama seems to believe that you are just a human being, but eventually, your memory will return, and you will understand everything clearly. …That we are sister and brother.”

Leticia gave a gentle, compassionate smile.

And when she took a step closer to me, she reached out her right hand and touched my cheek.

If this were an anime or manga, it would be something like the moment… where I regain my past memories by feeling the warmth of my sister Leticia.

But unfortunately, no such change occurred in my mind.

I wonder what is really going on.

I wonder if it is true that I had a previous life and that I am Leticia’s younger brother.

If [Full Assist] was working properly, it might have told me the truth, but it had been in safe mode ever since the volcano was extinguished. All I could hear in my head were the minimum necessary announcements, such as the level up.

In my mind, I asked myself, “Am I really the Greedy Dragon?” but I still did not get an answer.

Now, what should I do?

“I am in no hurry. Just like me, when the time comes for you to remember, you will remember it naturally.”

Leticia’s expression was soft, as if she was trying to wrap her arms around me.

An older sister, huh?

I am an only child, and to be honest, I longed to have an older sister.

“For now, I’m going to treat you as one of my friends, the same way I’ve always treated you until you regain your memory. You don’t like it when I’m being pushy, do you?”

“…Well, yes.”

“I figured.”

Leticia put her right hand over her mouth and giggled.

“If it’s about my precious brother, I understand it perfectly.”

“So, you know what I’m going to do?”

“Eh?”
