Everyone is a hero, but I am a second-year player.

"Eh...?" Annie was stunned.

It seemed that the other party understood their conversation and didn't intend to pretend anymore.

"he he he he he--"

“Ga ga ga——!!”

“Jijixixiyixixi!!”

From all directions, short, ugly monsters walked out of the darkness with stupid smirks on their faces.

They have green skin and are only a little over one meter tall. Their big heads look extremely disproportionate to their bodies. They have pointed ears, bulging eyes, sharp teeth showing in their grinning mouths, and saliva dripping from their mouths, making them look extremely disgusting.

Although he is not tall, he is strong and sturdy, with distinct muscles on his short and stubby arms, and he exudes a dangerous aura.

"An Yi?! What...what is this?!" Annie screamed and grabbed An Yi's arm with horror on her face.

"The lowest level demon, the goblin." An Yi had a calm expression and placed his hand on the sword at his waist.

Finally... today...

In an instant, the scene in An Yi's eyes changed, the surrounding scenes flickered, and time seemed to have returned to the same day in the previous life.

Same location, same time, same two people.

He stood in front of Annie, saying he would protect her, and shouting that they were just a group of goblins and were no match for him.

However, due to the restrictions of the world's rules, he was unable to draw his sword and even almost fainted.

Amid the goblins' ridicule and Annie's worries, he was helpless like a fool who couldn't find his direction, covering his head and screaming.

Annie did not hesitate, she pulled him up from the ground, and dragged him out of the encirclement of the goblins, but she did not expect that the goblins deliberately let them go, and started a chasing game exclusive to this group of monsters.

The scenery flickers back to the present.

An Yi raised her eyes and looked at the sky which was getting darker.

Well, it was a dusk like this that day too, and the sky was red.

Anne fell down in her dress which made it difficult for her to move, and her wounds were covered in mud and sand and were also red.

How he wanted to pull Annie up, if only he could carry her on his back.

……

“An Yi… you run faster than your sister. I will stay here to attract their attention. You go back to the village and tell the adults that there are demons here.

These monsters didn't attack us right away, which means they didn't intend to kill us in a short time. If I go back and call the adults to save me, they will definitely be in time!"

……

That was the last time Anyi in his previous life heard Annie's voice.

She is dead.

He died on the eve of his brother's birthday, which was worth celebrating.

It was an inglorious death.

Left this world in a bloody, twisted and painful manner.

But in this life, An Yi will not let this happen.

He wants to... kill!

Kill all the demons here who killed Annie in the previous life!

"what to do……"

Looking at the large number of goblins, Anne's face became solemn and sweat ran down the sides of her face.

It was the first time she had seen a demon. Her pounding heart and trembling legs reminded her of her extreme fear at the moment.

But she still forced herself to calm down.

We must... think of a way.

"Let An Yi fight...?"

Do not!

"An Yi can't handle them alone. He must inform the adults in the village!"

"An Yi."

Annie let go of Anyi's arm, with an unconcealable fear in her eyes and a determination to face death.

She took a step forward and stood in front of An Yi.

"You run faster than your sister, so I will attract their attention. You can take the opportunity to escape and go back to the village to tell the adults that there are demons here."

As she spoke, her shoulders couldn't stop shaking.

Anne knew that if she stayed here she would die, but she did not shed any cowardly tears in front of her brother.

"despair."

A warm, thick hand was placed on Anne's shoulder, calming the frightened Anne a little.

“Don’t be afraid, sister.

Goblins have a habit of playing with their prey, so they won't kill us immediately.

They enjoy watching their prey get scared." An Yi tilted his head slightly and explained to Annie in a low voice.

"Why do you know it so clearly?!

But if that's the case, aren't we in even greater danger?!" Anne became even more frightened when she thought that she might be tortured to death.

Now that things have come to this, what good does it do to know these things? !

However, when she looked up at An Yi, she found that he still had that calm expression.

There was no fear, no seriousness, no terror, panic, or even surprise.

Just as always, he had that expression that showed he didn't care about anything.

It was as if such a desperate situation was nothing to him.

For some reason, Annie felt inexplicably relieved.

"Then tell me, what should we do...?" Her voice became much weaker.

"It's actually good news for us that they have come forward," An Yi said.

They chose to surround us because they had the evil taste of toying with their prey.

It is because they have this evil taste that they won't attack without warning."

"What good news is this for us who are surrounded...! It would be better to just launch a surprise attack and kill me!" Annie wanted to cry but had no tears.

"No, if that's the case, I can't save you." An Yi said in a deep voice.

"what?"

Annie was stunned, then looked at the goblins surrounding her from all sides.

"How can we save this?!"

"It's simple. Kill all the demons here and you can protect your sister."

4 My younger brother is so handsome!

"It's simple.

Kill all the demons here and you can protect your sister." An Yi said without any emotion.

Annie: "???"

Simple? !

Do you have any misunderstanding about simplicity? !

There are demons everywhere! Demons who have killed countless people! !

She knew that An Yi was usually very proud and arrogant, but now was not the time to be arrogant!

“An, An Yi! I will stay here, you go back to the village and inform the adults.

You said they would play with their prey, right? That means they won't kill me so quickly.

You run fast, you can still run back from here and call adults to save me! You first..."

"No, it's too late."

An Yi interrupted Annie's "last words" and took a step forward to protect her behind him.

"Sister, I've said before that there won't be a swordsman more talented than me in this world.

Right? "

Annie was also confused, and she loudly retorted with tears in her voice:

"Then run away! How can the life of a genius like you be more important than mine?!

If this continues, we will both die together!

And... and! If no one goes back to tell the adults, it will be too late for the demons to reach the village! "

Her lips trembled as she tried hard not to cry.

She doesn't want to die either!

But if we don't make sacrifices, An Yi will die! And the people in the village will die too!

"Even if I leave you here and go back to report the news, it will be meaningless."

An Yi turned his back to Annie and shook his head gently.

Because that's what he did in his previous life, and he knew very well what would happen to the village.

“Besides, there are so many of them, why do you think they won’t split up and chase me?

Why do you think I can outrun them?"

These two questions left Annie dumbfounded.

Yes, why did she take it for granted that she could hold back these demons by herself?

Then... isn't the current situation even more hopeless...?

“Relax, sister.

I will protect you.

I will kill them all and take you home."

Anyi stood in front of Annie, one hand on the scabbard and the other on the hilt.

His voice was still terribly flat, but very powerful.

Not a cocky lie, but a firm commitment.

“Eeheeheeheeheehee——!!”

“Gahhahahaha——!!”

The goblins around him began to sneer, as if they understood what An Yi said and laughed at him.

Anyi knew that goblins could indeed understand human language.

Moreover, even though Annie and I had been talking for such a long time, the animals did not attack us actively because they just liked to watch their prey say these words of farewell between life and death.

Finally, the prey is slaughtered to death.

This is their bad taste.

Disgusting bad taste.

An Yi snorted disdainfully, then raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck, and growled at the goblins:

"Ruku--!"

“GAAAAAAAAA!!”

The goblins were instantly enraged and rushed towards the two.
