[Attack on Titan] God Clockwork

"Alex!"

Looking back at stepping on the fallen autumn leaves, he found his elder brother with ease. The handsome little boy pursed his mouth in dissatisfaction: "Ah, it's my brother again, are you looking for me?"

"Because Alex hides so well every time, only I can find it." With a smile, he bent down and touched the top of his younger brother's head. The little purple flowers in front of the little boy must have delayed his time.

"It's time to go home and eat."

"hai~" The little guy responded loudly, and then secretly put his hands behind his back, hiding the bruises on his arm - even if he didn't have the care of his biological parents, he could live a good life, and it wasn't the turn of those talkatives The guy is talking all over the place, his brother is enough!

"Hey, brother." Erwin is his father's elder brother, that is, his uncle's son. His father passed away very early, and he has almost no impression of him, and his uncle seldom takes care of him because of his busy schedule. I was brought up by this cousin.

"Huh?" Hearing that the little boy following him seemed to have something to say, Erwin slowed down appropriately so that he could follow more easily.

"I heard that you are going to join the training regiment?" I only found out about this news yesterday when I overheard the conversation between Erwin and my uncle when I was passing by the study.

"Yes, I have also reached this age. This is my father's expectation, and it is also my own childhood dream." The expression on the blond boy's face was firm, without any sign of wavering, which made Alex who had planned to Well, I swallowed the words of persuasion in my stomach.

Perhaps because of the influence of his family environment since he was a child, his cousin Erwin's dream is to become an excellent member of the Survey Corps and open up a new path for mankind.

Aware of the unusual silence of the boy behind him, Erwin looked back at him with some doubts, but what he met was a face that was raised sharply, full of determination: "It's decided!

I will also join the training corps in the future, and then graduate with excellent grades to become my brother's right and left arm! "

"Haha, Alex is such a good boy with ambition." He touched his head again, and at this time Erwin just regarded his words as a child's impulse.

It's just that when they stood face to face again seven years later, Erwin found that the child who had followed him as a little follower had grown so big.

"Alex Smith, a graduate of the 101st Training Corps, is here to report!" The young man who stood upright in front of his desk and tapped his chest with one hand clenched his fist. Become like a soldier, serious and unsmiling.

Since Erwin joined the training regiment, he seldom went home, and naturally spent very little time with this younger brother. He could vaguely hear some of his deeds, but most of them were not good things—for example, "Alec Who did Max fight with again", "That guy actually went to gamble and lost a lot of money" and so on, but when seeing his excellent grades on this year's graduation list, it is undeniable that Aye Erwin was surprised.

The weakened relationship between the brothers could not be warmed up quickly. The relationship between the two of them was so casual. Although they both had the surname Smith, few people even in the Survey Corps knew that the two of them were brothers and sisters. Brotherhood, after all, in terms of looks, the two of them are not very similar.

Time walked unhurriedly. During the 53rd investigation outside the wall, Alex Smith, the captain of the third division of the Survey Corps, saved the lives of most of the team members because of his arbitrary actions. For violating military discipline, he was sentenced to two months of exile, and two months later he was sent to the training regiment.

Although he was always smiling, he was actually a well-known narrow-minded young man in the regiment who just whistled and then readily accepted.

Few people know that Brian Silex, who was in charge of the Survey Corps at the time, gave this potential young man such a sentence at the suggestion of his trusted subordinate, Elvin Smith.

Someone who directly regarded this punishment as a long vacation has absolutely no self-consciousness of introspection, wandering around bars and casinos in the imperial capital, and finally bumped into a middle scorer who had lost several times in a row while watching the casino one day Watermelon head youth.

"Shouldn't you come again?" He knew that his words would only arouse the other party's anger. After all, he still knew the name of "Levi" in the underground street, "Split the watermelon head in the middle."

But somehow, I really want to know why that short young man showed such a gloomy look—oh, he looks a little "trapped in love".

"I'm Alex Smith, just call me Alex, what about you?" He held back the pain after being hit hard on the head, and sensibly retracted the nickname full of slots, facing boredom On that day, he planned to have some fun to pass the time.

"Levi." The other party impatiently gave his name obviously to get rid of his entanglement, seeing his obviously lazy expression but impatient with his noisy expression, inexplicably Made him feel happy.

When he walked to the door of the bar, the other party was obviously on the verge of collapse, even if it broke out in the next second, he would not have any accidents, but he was obviously stunned when the other party pushed the door open.

——Probably saw someone or something unexpected.

The following days began to slowly become more lively, because there were a few more figures in the original monotonous life, and no matter which one was very interesting.

Grumpy looks difficult to get along with, but in fact, Levi is the easiest to figure out his temper after getting familiar with him. Beate, who has a carefree personality like a boy but occasionally has a little girl's mind, has an unattainable ability to use three-dimensional mobile devices. Although the enthusiasm is not much, but the tactful Lake.

He found that without his own noticing, there was an extra group of partners who could deliver the back.

"Alex, congratulations." He saw the elder brother who had protected him since he was a child, but his relationship gradually became indifferent due to his busy schedule, looking at him with a shallow smile—— Because of the tug-of-war between humans and giants that had made no progress, the youth's habitual smiling expression became indifferent and serious. This kind of shallow and heartfelt smile is really rare.

"Levi and the others are very good people, and you have a good eye for making friends."

He returned the other party with a thumbs up and an overflowing smile: "Of course!"

The ones who can stand by his side must be the friends he has personally recognized—when did he start, his world no longer only focused on chasing each other’s footsteps, he found that he began to linger on life more, and no longer took big things into consideration. Spend more time on gambling, getting drunk, etc., and spend more time studying three-dimensional mobile devices with those noisy guys, walking in the sun and discussing martial arts, although Bayat often laughed at saying that "as an instructor It's really embarrassing that the fighting skills are not as good as Levi and Lake's", but even if he was thrown into the grass by a fall over his shoulder, he just smiled and didn't feel angry at all.

He originally thought that the days would pass slowly, and the number of investigations outside the wall continued to increase. Although the information he received was often not very good, it made people feel helpless, but when the group of people around them made a fuss, He suddenly had confidence in the future.

It's just that nothing is static, the fall of Maria's Wall, the death of Beate's parents, and the gradually widening rift between the two people who were stubborn to the point of death.

And when Levi joined the investigation corps without saying a word, Beate also began to get used to being alone, and later even joined the training corps beyond everyone's expectations. He stood still and looked at those people slowly walking away with some bewilderment.

"...Alex Smith!" He had never heard his brother speak to him in such a tone. "You have to understand that once you make a decision, you can't go back!"

"I understand!" Clenching the handle of the knife in his hand, his face remained the same expression as before, the roar of giants and the screams of humans came from his ears, and it seemed that flesh and blood could be heard amidst the chaotic hooves of horses. An interlude that was torn apart.

"..." Obviously this time is the last time to delay time, and a decision should be made as soon as possible, but the tall blond young man on the opposite side remained silent for a long time, before a good word came out of his mouth.

Feeling the scorching gaze behind him resting on his back, he suddenly found himself feeling more relaxed than ever.

He waved his hand to signal the soldiers behind him who put their own lives aside to follow up, and what they got was uniform, bloody shouts from the men in their prime.

——I was the one who stole your dreams since childhood, brother Erwin.

——It has never been my ideal to be a member of the Survey Corps and dedicate my heart to mankind.

——It’s just that I want to help you nearby, become your sharp blade, and be able to reflect my value to you.

——It’s just since when did he find that he has fallen in love with this job, even though he brought too many heavy things, which weighed too much on his shoulders.

——Ah, if those guys from Levi Beatlake knew that they were going to die with a smile now, it must be a look of contempt.I just saw Levi's eyes in the distance, tsk tsk, he doesn't know how to explain it to Beata with such a stupid mouth, although he looks carefree, but he knows that she is the most Brain-dead, especially easy to get into a dead end.

——Well, there is nothing to explain in the last words, his life can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

--goodbye.
