[Attack on Titan] The day when I was taller than the captain

"Thank you for coming, and welcome to come again next time!"

The last customer was sent away, and the cakes in the store were basically sold out. Looking at the few pieces left on the showcase, Laura wiped the sweat from her forehead, and there was a faint smile on the corner of Laura's mouth.

I don't know how many days this overseas investigation will take, Levi... has he taken good care of himself?

Picking up the remaining bread, Laura put it in a clean bag skillfully, took off her apron, picked up the key on the counter, locked the door, and walked straight to the other end.

It's still early, why don't you send some to Uncle Yeager's house as usual, the kid Alan and Mikasa haven't seen it for a few days!

"Ah, Laura, are you going to Dr. Grisha's again?"

"Yes, Aunt Hilty."

"Lola, tomorrow I will make bread that is as delicious as today!"

"No problem, Uncle Rappe."

"Lola, you are already 17 years old, when will you marry into my family as granddaughter-in-law?"

"This...Grandma Cina..."

"Ah, Adeline, how can you rob Laura from me?"

"Hehe, why did Grandpa Joey say that too?..."

"What does it mean to rob you, Amanda, your grandson is much older than Laura!"

"Age is not a problem. The most important thing is that Laura's child likes our grandson!"

"..."

"Isn't your grandson interested?"

"How can that girl compare to Laura!"

"I said you old man..."

"What's wrong with me, old man?..."

"..."

Walking through the busy street, passing familiar people one after another, smiling and responding to greetings one after another, Laura tried her best to maintain the closest smile on the corner of her mouth, and carefully dropped one black line after another.

Grandma Cinna and Grandpa Joey, you have used her as a match for yourself, but have you ever asked her what she thinks?She hasn't said anything yet!

Besides, I already have someone I like!

"Grandma Sina, Grandpa Joey..." In order for the two old people not to continue messing around, she felt that it was necessary to clarify this matter. With her hands folded in front of her body, Laura bowed solemnly, "Really Thank you very much for your love, the two grandsons are also very good, but, I already have someone I like! I am really sorry."

"Ah, have someone you like?" Hearing what Laura said, Grandma Sina eagerly held Laura's hand, "Oh, it's all my fault that the old woman didn't make a move sooner. I don't know how cheap it is. It's a lad!"

"If you have someone you like, there's nothing you can do." Grandpa Joey patted Laura on the shoulder, shaking his head regretfully, "I really want to see which kid compares my grandson!"

Trust me Grandpa Joey, you don't want to see him.He did not compare your grandson who is 1.8 meters tall, nor is he as good-tempered as your grandson with a gentle personality. The only thing better than your grandson is his ability to shave the back of his neck without dragging his hands! -_-|||

After bidding farewell to the two old people, Laura passed the "Wall of Mary" that stood like a cliff on the outside. She couldn't help but raised her right hand to block the glare of the sun. Facing the steel-like outer wall, Laura couldn't help feeling emotional.

I have walked back and forth so many times, but I have never felt that the wall is so huge. Looking up, I really can't see the top!

And she, he, and they are all like livestock locked in a pigsty that can never escape!

How ironic!

Even knowing that the other side of this wall is full of giants lying on the wall, but only at this time, Laura is envious of Levi. He envies that he can enter and exit this wall, but it is only envy. She knows that she Without Levi's ability, he can have the confidence to gain the ability to protect himself from the giant's mouth!

This wall blocked the invasion of giants, and also blocked the isolation of human beings from everything outside, but even so, human beings still have to rely on this wall to survive. In their view, this wall is their salvation. It is their belief.

This kind of awe-inspiring strong sense of existence makes people regard it as sacred and inviolable!

There is no god in their world, only this city wall, and it is the city wall that encloses them in this way is the only belonging and spiritual pillar in their minds.

With an insincere smile, Laura continued walking towards her destination.

Along the dilapidated stone road, I used to stay in the courtyard wall built with bricks and tiles. The brown gapped wooden door was closed tightly at a distance. The briars in the courtyard were blooming in full bloom, and some of them were lonesomely sticking out of the wall, bright red. The flowers bloom all over the branches and lie on the red tiles.

Laura stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it was Grisha Yeager's wife, Karla Yeager, who opened the door. In Laura's heart, Karla was a perfect wife with a gentle and loving personality and a perfect wife. In her, she seemed to see the shadow of her mother who died young.

"Ah, so it's Laura, come in quickly." Carla, who was wearing an apron, pulled Laura with a smile on his face, "Why are you free to come to our house today?"

"Long time no see, Aunt Carla, sorry to bother you today." Handing the bag in her hand, Laura smiled happily, "This is made from freshly ripe strawberries this year, Aunt Carla wants to try the new flavor this time oh!"

"Ah, are the strawberries ripe this year?" Carla took Laura's hand and walked into the house, closing the door, "I'm making dinner, Laura You should stay and eat!"

"Yes, then excuse me!" After thanking her, Laura glanced around the room, "Aunt Karla, where are Ellen and Mikasa? Are they not at home?"

"Ah, the two children went outside to collect some firewood." Stirring the soup in the pot, Karla answered Laura's question with a smile.

"So that's the case." Nodding, Laura leaned on the window and looked out the window, "Aunt Karla, how many days will it take for my father and Uncle Grisha to go to the mainland for medical treatment?"

"Well... it will take four or five days at the earliest!"

"Oh." Four or five days, it seems a bit long!

"We're back."

A familiar voice sounded behind her, and Laura turned and looked behind her, "Ah, it's Mikasa-chan and Allen who are back!"

"Sister Laura, why come here when you have time?" Mikasha stepped forward, immediately grabbed Laura's hand, and asked with concern.

Only at this time, Mikasha, who always seemed very sensible, had a little girl's innocence.

In Mikasha's heart, Laura is like a sister, and she instinctively likes to be close to Laura.

"The store closed early today, so I wanted to visit Aunt Carla." Laura answered Mikasha's question first, and then moved closer to the boy who lowered his head silently, "Ah, Has Allen cried? Why are his eyes swollen?"

"No, no." The boy who was exposed to the lie blushed instantly, and immediately became arrogant.

"Alan... said he wanted to join the Survey Corps." Seeing that Alan lowered his head and did not speak, Mikasha calmly said something that made people uneasy.

"Wait, Mikasha, why did you say it?" Allen stared at Mikasha angrily, dissatisfied that she revealed his secret like this.

"Alan, what's going on in your mind?" Throwing the spoon in his hand, Karla excitedly walked up to Alan who was sitting on the table, and grabbed his shoulders tightly, "Don't you know how to run?" How many people died on the outer wall?"

"I know."

"Then why are you still going?"

"I want to see what the outside world looks like!"

"In short, I will never allow you to do this, and I will never allow you to do stupid things like joining the Survey Corps."

"Where is it stupid to join the Survey Corps? I think it's really stupid for us all to be kept in captivity like livestock!" Breaking away from Karla, Allen roared and opened the wooden door and ran outside, followed by Mika Sha bent down and followed Allen, leaving only Carla staring blankly at the backs of the two children, covering her face and crying for a long time.

"Aunt Carla..."

"Lola, why can't Allen understand my difficulties?" Carla raised his arms and hugged Laura's body, and Karla cried sadly, "You know, I don't let him join the Survey Corps for his own good!"

"Hey, I can understand." Raising her hand and patting Karla's shoulder, Laura comforted softly, "Alan is still too young to understand your thoughts, as long as he speaks well, he should be able to understand."

However, how could one's inquisitive mind be shaken by other people's few words? Besides, Alan, who had been yearning for the Survey Corps since he was a child, although this child did not have as outstanding characteristics as Mikasha, he was unexpectedly more than other children. Children of the same age are extremely determined!

"Lola, I ask you one thing." Holding Laura's shoulders, Karla wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Alan's temper is too impatient, and Mikasha's character is too forbearing, if the two of them If there is any difficulty, please help them when the time comes."

"Aunt Karla, I will." Although she didn't understand why Karla said that, even if she didn't say it, she would never stand by when Ellen and Mikasha were in danger.

"Thank you."

"I'll go and see Alan and Mikasa sauce first, thank you for your hospitality today." After slightly saluting, Laura ran quickly in the direction of Alan just now.

*******

"Alan, Mikasa..." When Lola found them, she was on the steps of the river beside the village. She saw the cynical Ellen and Mikasa sitting calmly beside her and "Ermin, yours." What happened to your face?"

"Sister Laura?" Ermin turned her head stubbornly when she saw Laura approaching.

Ermine Arlert is a child of an ordinary family in this small town. She grew up with Ellen as a childhood sweetheart, and it was through Ellen that Laura got to know this slightly cowardly character but has an amazing mind. kids!

"Did you get beaten by those ruffians?" Laura knew what was going on at a glance, and sighed, Laura sat next to him and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe his face, "Ermin, it hurts." ?"

"It doesn't hurt." Letting Laura wipe her slightly dusty face, Ermin tried hard to hold back the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Hey, I said you children!..." Looking at Ermin beside her, and then at Alan who was venting by throwing pebbles, Laura felt powerless, "Why do you want to go outside the wall? ? You know, there are so many giants outside this wall, aren't you afraid?"

"But what's the difference between this kind of life and the livestock in the pigsty?" Alan turned around and looked at Laura, his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, "Why do you say that if you want to go to the outside world to see it, you have to be punished?" Are they regarded as heterogeneous?"

"Allen, haven't you seen the soldiers who came back today?" Mikasha's calm voice sounded softly, "Even so, do you still want to join the Survey Corps?"

"Hey, Alan..." Standing up and touching Alan's head, Laura let out a burst of wry laughter, "It's safe to stay in the wall for more than 100 years, if we want to go out, we will attract giants to come in , as the policy of the royal capital, this is absolutely not allowed, in their view, this is a kind of taboo, and it is an idea that should never be had."

While talking, Laura stretched her hands into the river in front of her, feeling the pulsation of the water flow and the quiet breathing of the water town with her skin.

"Sister Laura, I'm betting on my own life. What does it have to do with them?" Allen understood Laura's words very well, but he was unwilling to live in captivity. He wanted to live with more backbone. "It's our freedom, isn't it?"

"Give up." Mikasa sat on the stone steps, and she looked even thinner as she hugged her knees tightly. "Allen, give up joining the Survey Corps!"

"Speaking of which, how dare you tell my mother what I think." Listen to this kind of tone after autumn.

Mikasha glanced at Allen lightly, "I probably didn't promise you to keep it secret?"

"Alan, if Mikasa-chan didn't say it, we really don't understand your thoughts." Laura looked at the calm river, feeling the transparency of the breeze blowing across her cheeks, "compared to Karla Auntie's idea, I have no objection to your idea of ​​going to the outside world."

"?" Hearing what Laura said, the three of them looked at her in disbelief. They never thought that Laura, who always had a warm smile and existed like a big sister, would have the same thoughts as them.

"However, the prerequisite for going to the outside world is..." Laura looked at Alan's eyes full of seriousness, "You must have the strength to fully protect yourself, otherwise everything is empty talk, do you know this?"

"Sister Laura, don't you... don't you think we are different?" Ermin looked at Laura's smiling face with some surprise. Apart from Alan and Mikasha, Laura was the first person who agreed with his idea .

"I can understand your thoughts..." Because, she is also a person who has this idea, and she is also a person who is not satisfied with the status quo!

In this kind of life, it seems that there are still people who have the same thoughts as her, want to go to the outside world to see, want to drive all the giants out of the human territory, want to live with their heads held high from now on, want to stop Threatened by giants, I want to live—a happy life!

Even if the wall has not been destroyed for more than 100 years, it does not mean that it will not be destroyed today, nor will it be destroyed tomorrow. Without the awareness to fight the giants at any time, how can we continue to survive?

With a "boom", while Laura wanted to continue talking, there was a loud noise not far away, which attracted the attention of everyone nearby. With this loud noise, Laura's heart began to start from the morning. The uneasiness is gradually increasing.

And it wasn't until she ran to the street with Ellen, Mikasa, and Ermin that Laura realized that the anxiety in her heart had turned into reality.

why?

Why is this happening?

There are obviously 50-meter-high city walls, why do giants appear?

When everyone was stunned, this super-large giant lifted a foot and pierced a big hole in the wall of the "Wall of Mary" that has been peaceful for more than 100 years. Until then, everyone around All the talents screamed frantically and dispersed in a rush.

All of a sudden, screams, cries, each different cacophony entered Laura's ears.

At this time, Laura thought of the man wearing the wings of freedom, the man with broad shoulders for her, but unfortunately, he was not by her side at this time, and Laura couldn't stop her eyes from thinking about this. Tears welling up in my eyes.

She really misses Levi.

I really want to see him again, before I die...

At the moment when the giants broke in one by one, Laura woke up in the chaos of the loud noise, as if thinking of something, she first confessed to Ermin, "Ermin, You go back to your parents and grandpa, and Alan and I are going to find Aunt Carla, remember, don't die!" Trying to pull out a nice smile, Laura immediately pulled Ai aside. Ren and Mikasha ran towards the giant with their hands, ignoring Ermin's shouts behind him.

"Alan, the place where the rocks fell from the wall just now is your home, let's go back quickly."

"Sister Laura..." Looking at the people around who were crushed beyond recognition by the boulder, Alan unconsciously squeezed Laura's hand tightly.

"Don't worry, Aunt Carla will be fine." Reassuring Ellen, Laura warned herself to calm down, "Let's hurry back, just turn the corner in front and we'll be there, hurry up."

However, even with such comfort, until she saw the scene in front of her, Laura unconsciously let go of the hands holding Alan and Mikasha, covering her mouth and trying not to cry out .
