Unexpectedly chief handled the monsters and we were not pursued, on the way everyone grabbed what was precious and we ran, I mixed in the crowd and since my stamina was pretty good after leveling up and would not get tired so easily, it was easy for me, unlike some lower level goblins, they would probably be left behind, form their own teams and get killed, some might survive, who cares

The tribe does not give a shit about them, I am glad that I was not in their team of goblins with low level and endurance

Since there were no pursuers the tension disappeared but for some reason everybody kept running, once I asked why, they answered that it was an order, chief guardsman were leading us to somewhere safe it seems, well, I can depend on them for a while

I took a glimpse at the girls that were also running along with us, these human girls that were kept in the huge place called breeding hut, I have heard of them

I never visited that place, I wanted to avoid it, the thought of my own mother being one of them just made me feel uncomfortable, there was nothing I could help them with... it was a harsh reality, all of them had empty gazes and even as they ran, there was not any will in their steps, some were attacked for being slow but they did not care, probably life has lost its luster for them, they did not have a future, they did not even try to flee, where could they flee to? Would anybody recieve them as they were?

I heard that most of them died of diseases, was it because of their unsanitary lives? Dirty and uncooked food or were the goblins ones that gave them diseases, unfortunately nobody cared for them...

The maximum amount of time they lasted was 3 months, I have heard all that from fellow goblins, being a newbie curious one is to my advantage, they would answer without hesitation they loved blabbering, they did not have any real things to take care of, they did not know what family means after all, they lived to satisfy their desires, that's who they were...

They did not excessively destroy villages, while there were a lot of them nearby, they would leave some of them be, to let the new prey grow, once time was ripe they would continue their treacherous village raids

Their intelligence far exceeded my imagination, while I could not see much mischief in their actions, at least not in the weaker ones, I could definitely see that they were not to be underestimated, the system of distributing mana stones was made up by chief, then chief must be much more clever than others, not only that, but he managed to repel these monsters, I can't help but have a little respect to someone like that

I am also worried about leader and two archers, if they did not manage to return then most likely they are... no, he won't die so easily, he's much stronger than level can describe

While I was thinking of this and that and following the running tribe at the same time, I heard nearby goblins started screeching

Nearby goblin's body was flung away, he was kicked

Then I saw a girl in tatters and messy black hair that has lost its luster trying to run away while attacking the nearby goblins and trying to pave a path and flee

I was surprised at first, there was someone that had some will left?

While it's true that goblins did not have much time for safety measures and did not chain them, they probably thought that it was not needed, but they missed the one, there was actually one who still had the willpower to try and end her hellish life

I felt pity and heart ache but I was not a god to turn back time and it was not my obligation to help everyone, while it hurts to know that person who is nearby is suffering and there's nothing you can do... well, I am not that much of an angel, but it's unpleasant, I want my surroundings to be happy, but I do not have capacity to talk such big words

She screamed some words as she kicked and punched her way out of encirclement, I could not understand her language

Why is she trying so hard? I asked myself once again and I realized, she was not running to have a good life, she was running away to come back for revenge, her hate filled eyes leaked her true intention, that made me even more sure to end her suffering

After successfully getting out of encirclement she ran off down the hill, on the way she slipped and got all bloody, while she let out painful scream

She did not give up, she stood up and continued running

Goblins were angered and were about to chase her but I made a leap and rolled down the cliff while yelling

- I will return that bitch

I even swore to make it even more believable

They stopped, seemingly leaving it to me, my level was higher than theirs, so they left it to me

Some even persistently stayed and shot an arrow to her direction, but she was too far to get hit

I ran and chased after her

I am sorry that I can not help you, I am sure you went through hell and life you will lead from now on will be no better, you will struggle and hate, you will hurt yourself and others, you will turn out to be a rotten adult and make other's lives even more painful than it was for you, that's why... let me end your suffering

I took out the throwing dagger that I have stored while looting with orcs incident and shot her from 10 meters away

It missed, but I had few to spare

Another one hit her leg, I was catching up due to being fine while she was wounded, I appraised her to make sure that she was not dangerous

Female human Level 3

She let out a scream and fell over, clutching the grass and screamed like a madman, then she glared at me, her eyes were full of hatred and her face was full of tears, tears of being weak and helpless

I hesitated

Then steeled my will and grabbed my gladius

I'll try to make it less painful

I am sorry

* Slash

With full force swing her head was separated from her body, I looked as her corpse starting to bleed out and paint the grass red

And I was reminded

The world was cruel and would continue to be no matter what I did

I was not an angel, I was selfish

That's why I did not desire the peace

Merely I desired my surroundings to be peaceful, I wanted to have power to protect what and whom I liked, I wanted to make a domain where I could shut myself off from others and hear nothing of the pain that others felt

Like old times, when I was a hikkomori

To forget

To avoid

To be happy in my own space

That's what I desired!

How ironic, seems I have not changed much even after experiencing two lives
