[Attack on Titan] God Clockwork

Human beings always learn to grow in the process of being hurt, and this sentence may not be wrong at all.When Beat saw Lake again, he was leaning on a cane with a smile on his face and waving at her, but he almost fell down because he couldn't control the balance well halfway, which scared her to rush forward a few steps hold him up.

"Be careful!" Beata reprimanded softly.

"...Don't act like I feel guilty that I can't take care of my own fried chicken, okay? Beate ==" Lake shook his head helplessly, stabilized his figure with her help, and then sat on the park chair Sitting down, he put the crutch beside him.

"...Who is so stupid, I'm so clever!" Reflexively retorted, Beata frowned dissatisfied and complained back.

Although Lake seemed to be much more normal at this time, she still couldn't be completely relieved. He looked fine before, but she just turned around and almost never saw him again.

That kind of fear makes her feel palpitations now when she thinks about it.

The sky in the afternoon seemed to be particularly blue, and the breeze drifted over the grassland, and left without any regrets.It is said to be a small park, but it is actually just a "park ruins".

Before the wall of Maria was broken, this place was indeed a beautiful small garden, but now you can only see clusters of weeds. In the most difficult time, it was full of refugees, because the grass roots were dug up because of insufficient food. Come out to eat, it was barren, but now, in just two years, it has regained its vitality, and it is too lush.

No one took care of the mess—she used to come and sit here a lot, watching the wounds smoothed by the touch of time.

The words "Time is the best medicine" had already made her ears callous, but she couldn't deny that it was true.Within today's walls, many people have already forgotten the fear brought to them by those giants. The fear deeply rooted in their thinking has been hidden by people, and time has covered them with an impenetrable black cloth.The streets also began to restore their original prosperity. Before that, she even saw vendors selling candied haws on the street.

Under the government's control, prices are still high, but there is a trend of falling, and they are controlled within a relatively stable range. Comfort is always welcome, and no one will reject peaceful days.

"What happened before..." Sitting quietly like this, it was Lake who broke the silence first, but it was Beat who interrupted him suddenly.

"You said, did I do something wrong when I asked Levi to bring you back?" Her expression didn't look like a joke at all, but she was asking seriously.

Not waiting for the other party's answer at all, Beata continued on his own: "...I actually asked Levi this question in private..." The guy's reaction was just frowning, and then raised his hand Give her the back of the head, and ask her to see if her head has been gnawed by the strange species.

Although Levi had this kind of reaction, what she wants to know most now is Lake's answer, her fiery red pupils are staring at the handsome man in front of her, she doesn't know if he denies what she has done How should she deal with herself-kill him?No, it doesn't make sense anymore.

Lake's gaze has always been so calm, looking at this woman who looked at him anxiously, he pursed his lips, stretched out his hand and patted her on the head, and then grinned: "...a knife for you Do you dare to make up for your mistakes?"

"..." Can't this person be more serious ==

Seeing her looking at him with a troubled face, Lake accidentally let out a burst of laughter. Seeing her obvious dissatisfaction, he restrained his smile and straightened his face: "...I'm glad I'm still alive, you and Li I have also seen Will's efforts. I was wrong before, and I am sorry."

Lake apologized unexpectedly and readily, which made Beata feel at a loss. The warm golden sun spread down, and the smell of warm hay was in the air. She knew that there was an emotion called joy in her heart. Expansion, fermentation.

Something in her heart was finally let go, and she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief—she was afraid that he would blame her when he opened his mouth for his problems. After all, this person was Lake, not some other dog or cat. She had known him since childhood and stayed with her Lake who has been around longer than anyone else.

"Huh?" Lake's eyes slid intentionally or unintentionally, lingering on her neck, a little strange, "This pendant... I seem to have seen it somewhere?"

In the past, Beate had a strong interest in those eccentric accessories, and there were several large drawers piled up in the house, but in recent years, since her parents passed away, she no longer liked these things, and the shapes were strange. The chances of her jewelry appearing on her body are also less and less, and when he saw her a while ago, that is, when he was investigating Biwai, there was only a pendant hanging around her neck, which he gave to her a few years ago. Her white fish pendant.Ever since she received this pendant, she has always liked it and rarely left her body, but now she has removed the pendant and replaced it with something that he is slightly familiar with, but he can't remember where he has seen it before. .

"Huh? Lake, have you forgotten?" Beata turned her head sideways, the sun cast a bright halo on the top of her fiery red hair, and she raised her hand to caress the ornament on her chest, " Last time Alex...Alex and I made a bet with Levi, the only bet Levi won back from me, have you forgotten?"

"...Ah! I remembered." Lightly patting his forehead, Lake acted as if he had suddenly realized that he didn't seem to feel the unnaturalness of Beate revealing someone's name at all, "So this pendant was not won Did you go back? Why did it fall into your hands again? Could it be that you went to Levi's house to steal?"

"...Can you stop thinking of me so badly?..."

"The premise is that you have to have morality."

………… Stab this funny guy to death with one knife!She will make up for her mistakes!

Resisting the urge to draw the knife, Beata rolled his eyes and sneered: "It's not up to you to question my moral standards, right? And even though Levi didn't agree, he didn't even get his own things. If you can’t even look at it, it’s better to put it here and I will help him keep it for a higher safety factor.”

...So this guy really went to steal, right?

Seeing that the other party didn't realize the danger at all, but instead had a natural expression on his face, what Lake could interpret from it was—hmph haha ​​Liwell, your little thing is in my hands, you want to go back, it's just a dream ——Of course, this sentence can also reflect another meaning from another level. For example, [Beate is getting more and more courageous. Although she says nozuonodie, she can't help but getatry. It would be better to leave the nape of her neck to someone else for safekeeping].

Ignoring the "righteous" teaser, Lake's eyes flicked back and forth on her neck twice, and when he left, he was a little more disappointed, pretending not to care at all, and asked: "What did you do before?" What about the hanging one? Where did it go?"

"Ahem... I'm honest, you're not angry?" Beata's expression suddenly became awkward.

"Say." The single syllable expresses his wishes well.

"...Obviously it was still there after returning from the Biwai investigation, but I didn't know why or when it happened two days ago, and it disappeared by accident..." Beata's voice was full of regret , "I remember it was still there when I drank with that guy Levi before... Or? I'll go and look for it where I might have left it?"

While Beate carefully organized his words, he secretly glanced sideways at Lake's expression.

"No need. If you drop something, just drop it." Lake's expression was normal, "The thing has been hanging for too long, and the rope is probably worn out, maybe it fell when you were walking. It’s troublesome to go back and find it.”

Lake always seemed to be able to give her a step down without making her uncomfortable.Beata thought that he was probably used to his connivance, so he was so confident.

"...haha." With dry laughs, Beata raised his hand to look at the watch on his hand, then frowned, "Oh, it's already this time..."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Lake asked.

"If it's too late, I won't be able to buy fresh vegetables. Lai Ke, I'll go first. You should recover from your injuries. I'll come to see you another day." She, who is always busy with things, immediately stood up and rushed over to him. After saying goodbye, she left in a hurry, with Lake watching her go from behind.

Buying vegetables means cooking by herself. If she is alone, this kind of thing will never happen. If Liz is here, these things will naturally be handled by the old lady herself. Thinking about it, Levi is the only one who is possible.

Sitting for too long caused his whole body to feel a little sore. Lake barely stood up with his crutches, and walked back with a pause.

——It's like she didn't dare to tell him that she actually took good care of that pendant, as long as the rope frayed a little, she would find a new one to replace it.She would rather leave him in a hurry and leave alone.

——Just like he wouldn’t tell her that the white fish-shaped pendant was actually a stone that he managed to find on the black market and bought it back at a high price. It is said that someone managed to get it back from outside the Wall of Maria, Something called "Surter."Means "lucky".It took him several months to buy the original stone and carve it into its current appearance with a carving knife, and a thick layer of calluses appeared on his hands.He would rather not say anything and just watch her walk away slowly.

The author has something to say: [Suerte] comes from the transliteration [Suerte], which means [lucky] in German.Well, don't take it too seriously.

There are still five or six chapters to finish. Well, although there is a list this week, but because I am too busy, I guess I have to go to the small dark room, and I don’t have time to update sad【.

I thought I should at least update it, so I was sleepy and coded all afternoon... I was working part-time during the winter vacation, so I didn’t get enough sleep at night. It’s a rare day off and I have a lot of things at home. I’m really sorry for you.Although I know that because the update is slow like a turtle and I always procrastinate, you don't love me anymore, and there are not many people watching it now, but I will fill it out!real!

Next week should be a little bit empty, and I will have a break on the first, second, and third days of the new year, so even if there is no list, I will write well!

As for the other custom-made article, I can only say that I will try my best. It is certain, but the time is uncertain.

Hmm... Finally finished this chapter, I'm going to sleep for a while _(:з」∠)_
