Gen sat down and timidly asked, "Brother, you asked me to do this. Can you let me and Miyamura out?" "No, you can't make the same mistake again. Last time, if you hadn't secretly run away, Father wouldn't have locked you up." "Be good, listen to your brother. You'll definitely be let out." "Then what about Miyamura? Should he stay there alone?" "Brother, I don't want to! I think I've already fallen for him a little." "Miyamura, Miyamura, how can such a sinner be worthy of you?" Wild Dogsuke said through gritted teeth. "I don't want you to interfere! I just want to..." Bang! Wild Dogsuke slammed his fist on the table, angrily pointing at Gen and saying, "Do you know that because of you, you escaped and caused someone's death?" "You don't know, you live here without any remorse." Gen stared blankly at Wild Dogsuke, his mind filled with thoughts of Miyamura and Yokota. Wild Dogsuke bent down and hugged Gen tightly, saying, "It's okay, leave everything to your brother. I'll protect you, little sister." Gen thought of Miyamura, and the thought of all the secrets he had hidden made her heart tremble uncontrollably. Tears fell onto Wild Dogsuke's neck. "Little sister, don't cry. Brother will find a way to be good to Miyamura." Gen shook her head and said, "Brother, do you know what kind of experiments Father is doing?" "Miyamura hasn't been very energetic lately." "I don't know, but I will do everything I can to help you." "Brother, I knew you would help me." "Because you are my little sister, my only family besides Father." "I love you, brother."

In his previous life, he was a soldier in the Imperial Guard. After returning home, he discovered that his sister and fellow villagers had been brutally murdered by monstrous beasts. He fought the beasts and died on the battlefield. After death, his soul was reborn in what seemed to be a future world, only to find that monstrous beasts also existed there. In this life, he carries the old grudges from his previous life. So, he trained from a young age, attended military academy, and joined the city's second armored legion—the Ant Nest Legion—with outstanding grades. But just the second day after joining the legion, it was wiped out by monstrous beasts. He, the sole survivor, is somewhat bewildered. Dongfang Tu: "... Where should I go?"
