[Attack on Titan] behind the scenes

For a year after the Wall of Maria broke, Felicia was in a state of nervous tension.

In addition to the population and food issues that must be dealt with, she is always worried about what to do if the giant appears again the next day?

She is very aware of how difficult it is for the person in her hands to compete with it, and she has also witnessed the appearance of the armored giant smashing through the city gate...how can the back of the neck be cut in such a state of being encased...

Also, what is their purpose in doing this?Why not keep destroying and go straight to Huanglong?Even afterward Felicia couldn't come up with an answer.This unreliable feeling always made her nervous.

It took almost a year for her to have free time.

But that nervousness still hasn't diminished, and even Levi, who has a weak relationship with her, expressed irritability.

"You're too nervous. Just a few giants"

"Of course you have to pay attention! Can you guarantee that you will reflect it the next time they appear?" If the wall of Ruth falls again... Felicia dare not think about the situation below.She bit her nails and her legs were shaking.

"If you need it, I'll chop off his meat and give it to you." Levi snorted, and he picked up the coffee Petra sent and sipped it slowly.

"...give me a free"

Felicia looked at the coffee she didn't drink, and couldn't seem to calm down no matter what.

She is naturally aware of Levi's strength, but...no one knows what will happen on the battlefield...assuming those giants are intelligent, I'm afraid the situation will be more complicated...

"Don't think too much"

While exchanging documents with Erwin, Erwin took time to comfort her.

"By the way, Hanji, how's your design going?" In order to calm down her restlessness, Felicia went behind Hanji to look at the blueprint she was designing.

Ever since Felicia agreed to capture the giant and started making arrangements, Han Ji has been working day and night to design the pictures of the tools for capturing and the setting of the venue.

"It's really fast." Felicia praised while looking at the design drawing in her hand.

The paper is already densely filled with things, and just looking at it gives me a headache.There are traces of alteration in many places, and it seems to have been decided several times, but in the end it was discarded for other reasons.

Obviously he should be very tired, but Han Ji's face was flushed, and he couldn't see the fatigue he should have at all, which made Felicia flinch.

"It's not enough! We should make one right away, and then try to go to Maria's Wall to catch a few and come back to see, so that we can confirm the capture function. By the way, let's start experimenting with the ones that are caught by the way. I have a lot of things I want to dissect. Let’s take a look. Ahhh, I’ve even thought of a name!” Elder Han Ji panted heavily, looking up at the ceiling longingly, as if there was a world in her fantasy.

"That...Han Ji, drool." Felicia interrupted her delusional reminder.

In this way, Han Ji woke up suddenly like a dream, wiped it casually with the corner of his clothes, and continued: "In short, you should first look at how much money is needed to design this. I also know that food has always been a big problem for you. Here you can It’s okay to scale back.”

"Don't say that." Besides, 25 people have been sent out, so you dare to pretend to be nice.It's just that Felicia couldn't say that.

She took Han Ji's design drawing and looked at it carefully. Every part of the trap was done just right. Great adjustments were made from shooting speed to explosive power. How many iron wires should be installed in each design port to avoid waste? Being able to hold the giant together is a difficult problem she has been overcoming, so in the final design, each steel bar will exert the maximum pulling force.

"I'll ask the craftsman to do it right away. Wait for the good news"

By the way, I have something to go there.thought Felicia.

"Oh!! I can start the experiment right away! I'm going to prepare a notebook right away and write everything I know in it"

"Until then what you need is rest"

Felicia accused unceremoniously.

Sometimes when the design encounters a bottleneck, Han Ji will stay up all night until he wants to break his head.Some even fell asleep directly on the wooden table in the combat meeting.When Felicia works all night, she sends plush shawls, but only temporarily.

"Don't tire yourself out. When we capture the giant and you get eaten because of fatigue, I will be very upset," Felicia said seriously.

"Will not!!"

"Really?" Seeing Felicia walking in front of her, with a slight push with her index finger, Han Ji fell vertically backwards.

"Can this be called okay?"

"Hanji, go and rest." In the end, Erwin, who couldn't stand it anymore, made a speech.

"You stinky glasses, stop running in front of us, it's an eyesore."

"That is to say, Captain Hanji, it will be very difficult if you fall to our side."

"Just listen to everyone, okay?"

Together with Petra and Eludor, everyone just teased Han Ji one by one, and finally the weak Han Ji couldn't convince everyone and could only scratch his head helplessly and said: "Okay, I'll just go back But if you do well, you must call me as soon as possible!"

"Well, I will call you when I encounter production problems."

With that said, Felicia wrapped up the design draft.

"Is there any one of you who wants to report to me? I'll go back to the office by the way"

"By the way, Felicia, here is the recruit information that I just sorted out, put it in your office. There is also the death list from last time, although it is fine not to put it in yours, but who knows when it will be needed? By the way, the next investigation outside the wall this time..."

Seeing that the documents held in Eludo's hands gradually piled up, and finally became a large pile.He staggered and walked towards Felicia.

"So much? Call someone to help me."

But when Felicia said this, she realized that she seemed to have said unnecessary words.

Erwin was busy dealing with things, Hanji went to bed, there were only two women and a man left in the house, no matter how you look at it, the job can only fall on that man.

"...knew"

Levi put down his tea cup and stood up with a straight face.He walked up to Eludo and took down half of the files.

"Sorry for worrying you," Eludo said shyly.

"I didn't come here because I cared about you."

"Yes, it's because of work. Come on, hurry up. You don't want Han Ji to wake up and make a fuss, why the device hasn't been done yet, right?"

The so-called self-inflicted can't live, Felicia said that it doesn't matter, just bite the bullet!She didn't believe that Eludo dared to do anything to her at this 1 meter.

But to Felicia's surprise, the atmosphere was subtly good along the way.

The three of you said one sentence to another, but it didn't make the atmosphere awkward.

"Speaking of which, Oluou made a mistake last time, and he always felt very self-blame, so...is the captain going to see him?"

"Really, why am I again..."

"Because you are the captain...ah, here we are"

Felicia twisted the handle and gently pushed the door open.

There were documents all over the house, and as the situation gradually calmed down, fewer were sent in, so Felicia finally had time to run around.

"Just put it over there." She pointed to the corner and watched as the two piled up the documents as high as a hill.

"Hey, Levi, what do you say that you were buried in the earthquake at this time? Our hope was killed by the document like this. How embarrassing it is to say it."

"...If you want to be cut by me, just say so! Don't learn from Han Ji."

"Do I have it?"

While joking, Felicia quietly opened the drawer.In the drawer are stones that I personally crushed a year ago.

Some have been completely turned into powder, while others have become somewhat defective, and some have lost their original appearance.Felicia quickly put them into her pocket, and then closed the drawer as if nothing happened.

With sharp eyes, Levi noticed Felicia's strange behavior, but he didn't know what he was doing.But carefully, she has always liked to be mysterious, and she has no need or qualification to care about it.

"Anyway, be careful, it wouldn't be good if I have to take the trouble to save you if you're buried. Then I'll go out first~"

"roll!"

Felicia smiled treacherously and left her office.

"Okay, let's see where we can fix it."

Felicia took out the largest and roundest piece, wondering if it could be restored to its original shape.

***

The streets of Ruth's Wall are full of people. Compared with the initial bad situation, the once overcrowded Ruth's Wall has recovered a little bit of life.

Although many people were taken away and had to die, the population left behind was also very substantial.

At that time, many industries are also emerging.Even there are many more servants and servants in his own house, at least they still have a place to settle down, which can be considered Felicia's compensation.

When she came to the blacksmith shop she trusted, she handed Han Ji's design draft to the master who beat the red-hot iron.

"Can this be done?"

"Woo...I have considered the design issues, and most of them have been detailed, so it should be possible."

"Then trouble you to make one first. I'll go around first."

Anyway, whether I was there or not could not affect the progress of the production, so Felicia left the blacksmith shop after making arrangements, and went to find a shop to repair jewelry.

Fortunately, these shops are all on the same street, and it took Felicia a while to find them.

"Hello, can this put them back together?"

Felicia took out the large and small pieces from her pocket.

"These?" The shopkeeper picked up one of them in disbelief, looked it up and down, and looked at it under the light for a long time before saying: "These are some cheap colored stones. A noble like you should use better ones. Let's talk about repairing them again." The price is not as good as you buy a new one”

"...Because these have special meaning to me. May I ask you?"

"But... what to do with things like this?"

He took out the largest piece, already chipped and dented.

"Yes...how do you like this?" Felicia took a pen and paper and began to scribble on it.She sat in the store and discussed with the boss for a while before deciding to redesign the stones.

After tossing for a while, and waiting for the boss to rework and arrange, it took a long time to fix it.

When Felicia brought them back, she couldn't help feeling sour.

"This thing can't be seen..."

Otherwise, the past that was finally severed will come again, right?Thinking of this, Felicia covered them with her long sleeves.

Just when Felicia was about to rush to the blacksmith shop to check the progress, a child ran up to her and filled Felicia's arms.

"Why did you come out suddenly!! Old woman!"

Isn't that rude? !Just when Felicia was about to speak, he heard two other voices coming from behind him.

"Alan? Are you okay?"

"Ah, it's okay. Really..." The boy slowly stood up holding his head, and saw the blond boy and the black-haired girl running up, looking very worried.

And Felicia recognized them too.

"Alan Yeager?!"

She didn't expect that after experiencing that kind of thing, she could meet them again, which made Felicia somewhat relieved.Although she didn't see Alan's name on the list, not recording it on paper doesn't mean he survived.Because sometimes there is no way to recognize certain people.Even your closest friend, after experiencing a giant's stomach being vomited out, that kind of... how to deal with it?Can you tell that it is the person you know?Rather than that, it would be better not to be remembered.

"You...Miss Felicia?!"

Seeing that they were acquaintances of theirs, the three children relaxed and looked at Felicia once they were on guard.

The four of them stared like this, and it took a while to recover.

"You...are still alive"

Thinking of those days, Felicia's eyes turned red.But she restrained herself.

"Hey? Where are your parents? Are they all right?" Felicia asked.

But Alan lowered his head, biting his lower lip tightly and refused to raise his head no matter what.After a while, Mikasa came to him and said for him: "Auntie... was killed. She was killed by a giant in front of Allen..."

"Shut up! Mikasa!!"

As if recalling the painful past, Allen reluctantly stopped her words.

"Is that so...then your father?"

"Dad went out to see a doctor that day, so... I don't know..."

Seeing Allen standing there trembling, he must have encountered a terrible experience.For those who also lost their parents, Felicia knelt down and patted his head.

"Then...how did you live this year?"

Felicia wondered how the three children lived without their parents.Adults who are capable of self-reliance start to live again. As for the children... some are scattered to other families, some are sneaked into the ground by petty theft, and some are doing odd jobs or becoming beggars everywhere. begging.

"We collect firewood for people everywhere, receive the food distributed, and sleep in the alley at night." Mikasa explained for the two: "The homeless taught us many ways to keep warm, and even gave us their tents."

"The beggar who had been helping us was sent beyond the walls... so his tent was left with us."

"That damned battle! Amin's family also..."

"Stop it, Alan." Amin, who was unwilling to continue, interrupted him hastily.

"...Amin, your family was sent beyond the wall?"

Amin nodded sadly.He understood that sending his family beyond the Wall was to protect the rest.However, he couldn't restrain the pain and sorrow.

"Because, because otherwise, we wouldn't be able to survive." Amin tried to restrain his emotions with a crying voice.

Felicia only felt a burst of sadness, because he buried his family with his own hands... Even if he knew the meaning of that battle, but... if he knew the truth, he wouldn't forgive himself, would he?

"sorry..."

"Please don't apologize, Miss Felicia. Please don't..." Amin raised his arms to cover his eyes, afraid that he would just cry like this.

Seeing that all three of them looked exhausted and mentally devastated, Felicia sighed softly.

"Then do you still live in the alley?"

The three looked at each other and finally nodded.Because in Ruth's Wall they have no relatives, no reason, and of course nowhere to go.

"In that case, come with me"

"Where?"

"Go to my house. From now on, you are my family's little servants. Although the place is not as good as other nobles, there is always a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and there is food." At this point, Felicia paused.

She felt that some words should not be said, but she needed their strength!

Thinking of this, Felicia felt disgusted with herself.But even so, she still has to do it.

"Then, when you reach the right age... I can let you enter the training regiment and become a member of the regiment..."

"I want to join the Survey Corps!" As if remembering Felicia's rights, Allen suddenly recovered.He looked at Felicia seriously, with anger in his eyes.Felicia was familiar with that look, and also with that hatred.

Felicia was not surprised by his answer.

"Alan, remember what I told you? The Survey Corps is a place for unfortunate people to join." Because I lost the most important thing, I wanted revenge.And the Survey Corps is the only destination.

"It seems that I already meet the requirements, don't I?!" He said loudly, as if he wanted to spew out the anger in his heart.

"Alan!!" Mikasa glared at Felicia, but couldn't persuade her.Because there must be anger in her heart... So she has no right to tell Alan to give up her anger.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will arrange for you to enter the training regiment immediately when you are 15 years old. Where is Mikasa?"

"I'll go wherever Alan goes." Mikasa pulled up her red scarf to cover her face.

"...And what about Amin?"

"I don't know, but where Eren Mikasa is going, I can only go there"

Seeing that Amin was worried, Felicia couldn't force her.

"In short, you have a year from now to think about it. Go, go back?"

"kindness!"

Felicia was a little relieved that they had met by chance.If Dr. Yeager dies and his wife dies after the giant, then let their children be brought up by themselves!

If you kill their family members, then you have to protect them and give them warmth...

This is her reward and redemption
