[Attack on Titan] The Gate of Hakogawa

?#20

"Soldier, you finally woke up, are you feeling alright?"

The woman with short shoulder-length hair on the opposite side spoke in a caring tone, her expression was gentle and even cautious, but none of these could conceal the joy in her eyes, and the brown hair gently brushed against her cheeks following her movements. shaking.

If it was a dream, it wouldn't even reappear in such a subtle place, it would be the same as my own memory.

That blood-stained, almost faded, tragic memory that made Levi feel dizzy every time he recalled it.

"Captain?"

When Levi came back to his senses, Petra had already walked in front of him, her right hand was reaching out to him——

He took a step back subconsciously, avoiding the warm palm.

As if he didn't expect Levi to avoid her touch, Petra's hand stopped in the air awkwardly, Levi, who had no intention of embarrassing the woman, felt a little regret for a moment, but Petra was only a little stunned. Seconds, and then as if she had thought of something, she withdrew her hand nonchalantly.

"You..." After the initial shock passed, Levi, who calmed down a little, also noticed the two men who had been standing behind Oluo, Elder with a mustache, and Dagon with a crew cut Da.

It was as if those times had never passed, and those tragic memories had never happened. They were all wearing the uniforms of the Survey Corps, and the emblem of the Wings of Liberty was ready to fly. There was no blood and no regrets on it, and some were just devoted to him full of trust. eyes, convinced that he will lead them to a hopeful future.

Are you... still alive, Special Operations Group... everyone.

So can he think that everything is a dream?It was a long and tragic dream that almost occupied his whole life, but now nothing had started, everyone was still there, and everyone's dreams were not so tragic that they were shattered.

Petra turned her gaze slightly, and exchanged glances with Elder behind her. She raised her hand unnaturally and pressed her ear.

"What's wrong with me?" Not paying attention to Petra's movements, Levi massaged his eye sockets tiredly, the nerves in his head were throbbing like needles, the memory that has been taken for granted for a long time is no longer trustworthy, it seems like a dream but not a dream The sense of vainness made him feel very irritable.

"Hey, don't you remember, Captain?" Petra let out a short exclamation, and then explained it naturally as if remembering her duties.

"It's all Oluo's fault. If he hadn't been trying to be brave, the captain wouldn't have fainted to save him." Luou rolled his eyes unnaturally.

"It's like this," Elder interjected calmly, "We were doing training with you in the woods... eh, the three-dimensional mobile device training, but it rained suddenly, and Oluo's retainer failed to hit the target. When he almost fell, you acted as a buffer, but because the situation was too urgent, you only had time to catch him, and you didn't have time to avoid the obstacle, so you hit it."

"And it's too much for this guy Oluo to use you as a backing. If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have passed out!" Petra said angrily, but when she looked closely, she could find that her eyes were flickering. Enjoy the light.

Although he has no impression of what they said, and can't even grasp a superficial memory, but...he has no reason to distrust his subordinates, and they have no reason to deceive him.

"How long have I been asleep? What time is it now?"

Since the fragments of memory are continuous and blurred, it is better to get the answer directly from other people than to think hard but have no reason.

However, when he asked the question, even he, who was still troubled by a headache, could clearly see the flickering stiffness on the faces of the four people in front of him. After a stalemate for a while, it seemed that they couldn't decide who would open the mouth, and finally the struggling girl was pushed out.

"Well...it's already afternoon now, you've slept for two or three hours..." Petra hesitated to answer, even her tone was a little uneasy, compared with her energetic expression just now, she was high-spirited. Interest slumped in an instant.

Without pursuing the strange emotional change, Levi nodded, and then said, "Although you may find it strange to ask this, how long is it until the next investigation outside the wall? Does that mean we are monitoring the police?"

………□□?

No, wait, he seems to have forgotten something, something he ignored, what does the word he subconsciously confided just now mean, obviously he doesn’t want to miss it again, obviously it’s so important, he knows, the meaning of that name , he knew—

If everything is his dream, if nothing has started yet, then...does it mean...

"Alan, are you still alive?"

Levi spoke in an unbelievable tone, his voice was very soft, but hoarse and depressing, as if the words he uttered were bitten hard, and the other party would be like a breeze passing through his fingers Fleeting.

It seems that they never thought that Levi would show such a timid expression. The four people in Levi's class held their breath. strangle hard.

"Captain, did you just say... Alan? Who is that? I don't seem to have heard of this name before."

Levi froze for a moment, he slowly opened his eyes wide in disbelief, his eyes wandered around the four people in front of him, trying to find out any possibility of the other party's concealment, any possibility of lying.

However, Levi is doomed to be disappointed.

"Is it a recruit? Have you heard of it?" Petra turned back to the other three for answers. The four in Levi's class just looked at each other, and all four had the same blankness and doubts in their eyes.

"Hey, are you kidding? It's the giant kid, the guy we supervise!"

Levi could hardly control his temper, he didn't think at all, it was just a low, gloomy voice, he was still convincing himself that it was just a bad joke, but in the astonished and confused expressions of the four Next, his voice rose unconsciously and became tyrannical.

Petra seemed to be frightened, her eyes were erratic, her body also took a few steps back slightly, and finally looked at the three behind her as if she had given up asking for help.

Gunda paused for a moment, then continued the conversation.

"The boy who can become a giant, do you mean Jean?"

"If you are looking for Jean, I remember you arranged him in the room in the basement, right? Now, he should still be there." After Gunda answered, Petra, who seemed a little panicked As if she had found her own voice, she said in a relieved tone.

Levi looked at the four people inexplicably, as if he didn't know these people at all for a moment, what the hell were they talking about, what are those nonsense, what is it called, the boy who can become a giant is called Jean?

Having completely lost the idea of ​​dealing with these people or continuing the conversation, Levi bypassed the four of them without saying a word.

"Captain!?"

The staggered airflow of the two hit Petra, she turned around immediately, but could only stare blankly at the back of the person who left without hesitation, and finally buried her face in the palm of her hand as if discouraged between.

"You did a good job." Elder put his hand on Petra's shoulder and patted it lightly.
