Part 2

The outskirts of the village were getting closer.

While running, Enri heard the constant sounds of metal hitting metal.

With a prayer, she looked back——and saw the worst possible situation. A knight was right behind the sisters.

Just a little bit more and he would catch up with them.

Enri held back the urge to curse about her situation, she no longer had any strength left to waste complaining.

Her breath felt short, her heart pumped so hard it felt like it was going to burst and her legs trembled constantly. Perhaps soon, she would be too exhausted and just fall to the ground.

If she was alone, she might have given up hope and lose all strength to run.

But holding the hand of her sister gave Enri the will to keep on running.

Yes, it was all because of wanting to save her sister, that Enri continued to flee now.

While running, she kept on looking back.

The distance had not changed. Although the knight was wearing armor, his speed was not slow at all. The difference between a highly trained soldier and a normal village girl was obvious.

Enri felt chills go down her spine. If this continued… It would be impossible to bring her sister to safety.

——Let go.

These words entered Enri’s mind.

——If you’re alone, you may be able to escape.

——Do you want to die here?

——Splitting up wouldn’t necessarily be safer.

“Shut up, shut up, shut up!”

Screaming loudly, Enri angrily reproached herself.

She was the worst sister.

Her younger sister looked like she was about to cry, but why wasn’t she already crying?

It was because she believed in her older sister. She believed that her older sister would save her.

Holding her younger sister’s hand——the hand that gave her courage, Enri strengthened her resolve.

She could never abandon her sister.

“Ah!”

Enri wasn’t the only one exhausted, her younger sister had also used up a lot of energy running away. Because of that, her steps suddenly stumbled, causing her she to scream and almost fall down.

The reason why the two did not fall down was because they were holding each others hands. It was only because of her younger sister pulling her up, that Enri didn’t lose her balance.

“Quickly!”

“Huff, huff!”

Although they wanted to continue running, her sister’s leg cramped up and stopped moving. Enri thought of carrying her sister, but metallic sounds stopped right next to her, scaring Enri to no end.

Standing beside her was a knight with a bloody sword. Not only that, the armor and helmet also had traces of blood splatter.

Enri stood in front of her sister and glared fiercely at the knight.

“Don’t struggle unnecessarily.”

These words were said without the slightest hesitation, words full of ridicule. Words saying that even if they ran, they would not escape death.

Enri’s heart suddenly burst out with emotion, wondering what he was talking about.

The knight slowly raised his sword above the unmoving Enri. The moment that the sword was about to come down onto Enri——

“Don’t look down on people!”

“Guuu!”

Enri mercilessly struck his helmet. That strike held all of her anger and also all of her desire to protect her sister, she was not afraid of striking the metal with her fists.
