[Attack on Titan] behind the scenes

"Excuse me, Dr. Yeager"

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Felicia showed up at Grisha Jaeger's home on time.

Although Grisha Yeager never saw a doctor at home, he was an exception, because Felicia asked him not to enter the wall of Hina, so he chose to stay at home.

To ensure the confidentiality of the conversation, Grisha asked his wife, Karla Yeager, to take the children out to play.So when Felicia arrived at his residence, the doctor was alone in the house.

"please sit"

Grisha took out his medical equipment one by one, and Felicia strolled over to sit in the chair in front of him.

"I'm bothering you today too."

"The plaster for the waist care is ready and you can get it at any time." While answering Felicia, Grisha Yeager took out a stethoscope and placed it on her heart.

In previous years, Felicia would have a physical examination, and every time it was checked by Grisha Yeager.

"deep breath"

Felicia took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Grisha, who was auscultating, was recording something on the paper on the table while holding the stethoscope.

Felicia went through the checks step by step, and Grisha looked at a series of data with a very calm expression on his face.

"Everything is fine, but you must remember to apply the medicine on time and pay attention to the care of the waist. Even if you are not a soldier, it is very difficult to have this kind of injury as an ordinary person. Your recent headache, back pain, etc. are not signs of illness. ..Maybe I'm too tired, just rest for a few days."

"That's good, thank you." Felicia took the plaster, with the old smile on her face.

"I don't know why you want me to check it? There should be a doctor for nobles in the wall of Xina, right?"

Thinking that she asked some interesting topic, Felicia's smile widened a bit.She looked at Grisha Yeager and said, "I was able to escape because of you when I was born. Without your serum, I might have died long ago."

Although Felicia has no memory of that period, she does remember that for many years afterward, her parents would invite Grisha to their home as a token of appreciation.

"This is what a doctor should do. Your parents have thanked me many times."

Felicia couldn't deny it.

"By the way, can I trouble you to prescribe some medicine for me?"

"What medicine?"

"A... drug that can temporarily prevent a woman from getting pregnant. Although it can be obtained from the underground, I just don't want to be seen, and the quality cannot be guaranteed. I don't want to die young~"

Grisha looked at Felicia in disbelief for a while.His Adam's apple fluctuated up and down as if he wanted to ask something, and the words almost blurted out when he reached the edge of his mouth.From the beginning to the end, Felicia maintained a kind smile. Even if he asked, Felicia would not blame him for his faux pas, and would tell the truth.

However, in the end, Grisha didn't ask anything, and stood up silently as if he understood clearly.

"The medicine is in my basement, I'll get it, please wait a moment."

"kindness"

Just as Grisha was going to the basement, the wooden door creaked open.

With a burst of noise, a little boy in shabby clothes ran in.

"I'm here first! Ah... have any guests?"

The boy looked at Felicia with his clear green pupils, and became cautious for a while.

"Ellen...! Ah, Miss Felicia"

The woman carrying the food walked behind. She was dressed in the same shabby and shabby clothes as the boy, unlike Felicia who was wearing an exquisite dress.

"Hello, Mrs. Yeager"

Seeing the return of Grisha's wife and children, Felicia stood up from her chair and saluted them.

"Is Grisha not here?"

"He's gone to the basement to get his medicine," Felicia said, looking at the boy.He timidly ran back behind his mother, peeking at himself: "This is your son?"

"Yes, it's Allen. Allen, say hello to Miss Felicia."

Carla pushed Alan to let him stand up. The boy remained confused and timid, and whispered, "Hello, my name is Alan."

Felicia walked up to Allen and squatted down, her long skirt fell to the ground.

"Hello, Alan, my name is Felicia." As he spoke, Felicia patted Alan's head.Allen lowered his head in embarrassment, biting his lower lip.He didn't know how to react to a nobleman suddenly being in his home.

"Alan is so cute, he was carved out of the same mold as Mrs. Yeager~" She must be a beauty when she grows up.But Felicia didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

Just as Felicia was molesting Allen, Grisha showed up with the medicine.

"Ah... you guys are back"

Seeing that his wife and children had returned, Grisha felt a little embarrassed for a moment.After all, I have to explain to Felicia how to test the medicine.

Seeing that her husband still had to perform the duties of a doctor, Karla asked Allen to prepare meals together.

Grisha had no choice but to send Felicia to the door, and handed Felicia the diamond-shaped ampoule containing the ice-blue liquid.

"It's enough to drink one tablespoon before each intercourse, but don't use it frequently, it's very bad for your body."

"Okay, remember." Felicia lightly clenched the medicine bottle, Grisha should understand that he didn't ask anything.He looked at Felicia, his brows furrowed.

"Miss Felicia, we... are really grateful for your continuous help. Therefore, everyone must wish you happiness"

Felicia was taken aback by Grisha's sudden statement. It was really strange to say this sentence from the doctor's mouth.

And, what counts as happiness?

In this world with giants, no one can be happy... Either find out the source of the giants, or end them, but it will be a long process no matter how you look at it.

"I try my best"

"The Corps still needs you, so please take care"

"I know." Felicia smiled and resumed her usual posture.

Just when Felicia was about to say goodbye to Grisha, Allen ran out waving his arms.

"Aunt!!"

"...Call me sister." Felicia quickly squatted down, and pinched the mouth of Alan who rushed over: "If you call me aunt again, I will hang you outside the wall~"

"That, that! Do you know anyone from the Survey Corps?" Ignoring Felicia's warning, Allen's eyes sparkled.

"Well, I know you." It's not so much acquaintance, it's better to say that they are all my subordinates.But it doesn't make sense to tell a child this.

"That's amazing! Then can I join the Survey Corps in the future?"

Eh?Felicia looked at Alan's excited face with some surprise, but when she heard this wish, Alan's mother's face turned livid.

"Alan!" She pulled Alan back to her side, and smiled helplessly at Felicia: "I'm sorry, this child has caused you trouble."

Felicia waved her hand, indicating that it didn't matter.

"Alan, I hope that you never have to join the Survey Corps"

"Eh...why?"

Seeing Felicia rejecting him, Allen's smiling face disappeared immediately.

"You'll know when you grow up." Without answering Allen directly, Felicia ruffled his hair again before saying goodbye to the Yeager family.

Felicia, who was sitting in the carriage and was about to go back to the Wall of Xina, looked at the medicine bottle in her hand. The liquid medicine in it was so clear that its effect could hardly be seen.

As if holding a baby, Felicia put it on her chest... from now on please.
