[Attack on Titan] Junia's Diary of a Soldier

4.

Tomorrow is the summer festival, and the rare two-day vacation in a year makes the entire survey corps feel relaxed.Even in a cage life that is always threatened, necessary entertainment activities are still needed. After all, if there is no breathing, it will suffocate to death sooner or later.

Human beings may be like this themselves, always easy to forget the pain, always find a way to deceive themselves, and then the corners of the mouth will still rise on the face that I thought would never smile again.

Everyone in the capital is preparing for the summer festival tomorrow. The people running back and forth on the streets have beautiful flowers and delicious food in their arms. Petola and Junia in casual clothes are walking on the red brick paved road. He was holding a paper bag in his arms on the street, which contained the pastries he had just purchased from the cake shop.

"It's really blissful to be on vacation for two consecutive days. Everyone will be very happy if you bring the cake back!"

There was a bright smile in Petola's maroon eyes, and the irresistible upturn of her mouth showed her good mood.

"It's really light without those troublesome belts, but Captain Levi probably doesn't like sweets."

The complicated belt of the three-dimensional mobile device is one of the things that every recruit must adapt to. Although it has been improved many times, for the sake of firmness and safety, it will still wear a light pink leash when it is taken off for a day. mark.

"Eh? Did the captain say he doesn't like sweets?"

"No, it's just the black tea made in every meeting. The captain never puts sugar in it, and last time the captain gave Captain Levi a kind of black tea. The bitter taste couldn't be tolerated by all of us. Only he didn't add sugar and drank it without changing his face."

"It seems to be true from what you say."

In the morning, Petola suggested that we go for a stroll in the capital together and buy some delicious things to go back. After all, the food in the military camp is a big pot of rice, so the taste is naturally not very good. Changing your taste, anyway, you don't need money when investigating the Corps, so don't wrong yourself when you can spend it.

"Candy, cakes, cookies... Well, I have bought my aunt's mat, and there are a few rubber bands and strings!"

"Don't say that noun on the street."

Petola shyly pulled Yunia's hand.

"Whatever my aunt has, even a woman would use it."

"... Junia, you will definitely not be able to marry..."

"It's okay, I won't let you marry if I can't get married."

"..."

Junia has a specialty that is very inconsistent with her daily image-the violin.

Nowadays, fewer and fewer human beings know how to play musical instruments. Even such an elegant thing called art is a noble game. Junia’s violin was taught to her by her father, who once told her She, the ancestor of her family was a famous violinist at first, and when she fled to the city wall, she brought her violin with her.

But no matter how famous a performer is without a stage, without an audience with the mood to appreciate, he will only lose in the end.

"Probably the only store in Wangdu that sells things related to musical instruments."

"Well, this is the only one I know of."

Pushing open the wooden door with a wind chime, a smell of rosin came over my face, and what I heard was a conversation between two men. Surprisingly, the protagonist in their conversation was none other than Junia's boss, Levi Bing long.

"Do you know who the commander of the Survey Corps is now?"

"I know! What you are talking about is a rumor! I heard it before, but I really believed it last time I saw it with my own eyes. Wasn't he the most famous underground gangster in the capital!"

"That's right, he's a ruthless character that even the Gendarmerie has to back down by three points!"

"This survey corps really dares to accept anyone!"

Levi used to be a gangster?

Junia raised her eyebrows calmly, the two men were leaning against the counter, the shop manager Old Tom seemed to be absent, and the green door was closed at the empty counter.

"Don't talk nonsense, Captain Levi is not that kind of person!"

Petola took a few steps between the two men with her things in her arms, raised her face and retorted angrily.

"It's really inexplicable, who is he? Besides, you can ask casually, his reputation is well known in the capital!"

The man said with a sneer, it seemed that Petola disturbed his interest, and his expression was slightly sullen.

"Oh? So I'm so famous, are you interested in what I did in the past?"

Junia and Petola were taken aback by the cold and familiar voice.

It turned out that the door behind the counter was only ajar. The door was pushed open, and Levi, who was dressed in a black gentleman's suit, came out from inside. As the light moved, his resolute facial features emerged from the shadows in people's sight.

"No... no."

The two men were so frightened that their faces were blue, and seeing that Levi didn't move, they hurriedly left the store.

Levi in ​​casual clothes was less hostile than usual and more handsome, and Petola, who could hardly look directly at those gray-black eyes, blushed suddenly.

As for Junia, although there was no change on her face, it was the first time she saw Levi in ​​casual clothes, and she looked away unnaturally.

Levi didn't intend to pay attention to the two gossiping men outside before, knowing that there are many people pointing behind his back, but when he heard Petola's voice unexpectedly, he still planned to come out and remind him, Otherwise, it might become very troublesome.

"Levi, why did you come out all of a sudden?"

The one who followed Levi out was a fat man with a long beard. He was the manager of the store, Old Tom.

"It's nothing, I should go too."

Levi's eyes glanced lightly at the paper bag that Junia and the others were holding, and said to Old Tom behind him.

"I haven't thanked you enough yet. If it weren't for you, my store would have been smashed!"

"I just flipped things on me because of those two stupid guys. You don't have to think about it."

"How can this be done? After all, you are my old Tom's savior."

Old Tom squeezed his huge body in front of Levi with difficulty, and said seriously.

"Tch...why is it so troublesome. Hey, what are you two doing here?"

Instead of looking at the sincere old Tom, Levi focused on Junia and Petola.

"Yunia wants to buy some strings to go home."

"Strings?"

Levi looked at Junia inquiringly, his jaw moved up and down invisibly, and then hummed. He looked up and down at Junia, but he didn't find that this woman had anything to do with the strings.

"Well, the strings of the violin!" Junia naturally sensed Levi's disdain, and deliberately asked for a heavy pronunciation to answer,

"Boss, I want steel e-strings, silver-clad g-strings, and metal-gut-wrapped da strings."

"The little girl is an expert."

Old Tom smiled when he heard that, and bent down to look for what Junia wanted in the cabinet.

"Hmm."

Levi made a meaningful nasal sound and said nothing more.

"Why is Captain Levi here, is it also shopping?"

"I was just planning to buy something, and I was pulled in just passing by."

The one who pulled Levi in ​​was of course the busy old Tom. The reason why he would be entangled with Levi can be known from the conversation just now. As for how Levi was brought in, it is a mystery.

Could it be that old Tom used some private secret recipe for growing taller to trick Levi into it?Junia guessed wildly in her heart.

"So Captain Levi has already bought something?"

Now Levi is empty-handed.

"Bought."

So where did the stuff go?

"Captain Levi, what did you buy?"

Both Junia and Petola can't wait for the perspective mirror to see where Levi put the things he bought.Is it a small thing, so it's good to put it in your pocket?

"Handkerchiefs, and a new set of quilt covers."

Levi frowned at Junia's questioning, but finally answered.

The handkerchief is okay, but the quilt cover shouldn't fit into the pocket...

Junia and Petola looked at each other, both of them had the same question in their hearts, but no one dared to ask any more, Levi was obviously upset, okay?

Old Tom may be looking at Levi's face, and gave Junia a [-]% discount, feeling that Junia, who has picked up a big deal, secretly plans to buy Levi in ​​the future if she wants to buy strings, she must try her best to drag Levi... …

Another one can be added to Levi's hundred ways to use it correctly.

On the way back, Levi walked in front alone, and Junia and Petola walked side by side in the back. Compared with the excitement of the two, they were much quieter now, and they were a little tired after a day of shopping.

Different from the physical fatigue of training and sweeping, this kind of fatigue is caused by happiness and relaxation, and this kind of fatigue is sometimes very happy.

"Younia, can you play the violin?"

Is this question coming too late?

Junia doesn't understand the meaning of Levi's sudden question.

"meeting."

"I see, I know."

Junia blinked her brown eyes, and looked at the commander's back who hadn't turned around in puzzlement, until she realized that Petola was also aware of her absence, and she turned her head in shock.

"Next time I'll show it to everyone."

This time Levi didn't answer.
