Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

Filled a glass of ice water.Before entering the cafeteria, Levi had fantasized that there would be someone like him staying in this huge regiment headquarters, but when he saw the dark hall of the cafeteria, his hope was extinguished.

Well, I should have gotten used to this kind of loneliness a long time ago, but there are too many noisy people around me recently.

Suddenly, a ray of fire lit up in the depths of the cafeteria.Levi's eyes widened, and his nerves tensed immediately, imagining all the possibilities of a fire in the cafeteria.At this time, candles gradually rose around, illuminating the area around Levi.Seeing those familiar faces approaching from all directions holding candles, Levi heaved a sigh of relief, "What's going on here?"

"Captain Levi, happy birthday!"

"Ah?" Levi's face was full of black question marks, "Who told you that my birthday is today?"

"Don't mind, anyway, when the morning arrives, you must be one year older, so let's just treat it as us celebrating your birthday in advance." Erwin explained.

Daile came out of the kitchen with a big cake carefully, and put the cake on the table in front of Levi, "This is the cake I forced Fitch to make with me, and it took several attempts before it succeeded. Brother You must try it."

Levi looked at the unpretentious piece of cake that didn't even have cream, and there was only a single lit candle inserted on it, and the picture of memories gradually overlapped with the burning candle in front of him.

"Levi, happy birthday." A woman's voice sounded familiar and kind.

Levi only remembered that the weather was very cold that year, and he was not very warm with several layers of his mother's overly loose clothes.But the fist-sized cake on the table and the slender candle on it deeply attracted little Levi's attention.As for the exact date of that day and the taste of that cake, these memories are drowned in the past with the passage of time.

"Really..." The vacancy in my heart was filled by everyone who was as warm as home, Levi showed a long-lost smile, "Thank you all."

Seeing that Levi actually smiled, although it lasted for less than two seconds, everyone else cheered, the battle was successful!

Pulling out the candle and blowing it out, Levi cut the cake into a dozen pieces with a knife at the request of everyone, and everyone took a piece and tasted it.

A team leader sighed, "Cake is much more delicious than dry bread."

"Isn't it? So much sugar and eggs were put in." Another team leader replied.

Although the dinner is blessed with cakes, the staple food is actually very simple potato and vegetable soup.However, in the cafeteria of the Survey Corps, everyone was still enjoying their dinner happily. The warm candlelight enveloped the entire cafeteria, isolating the cold air outside.

"Brother, how does it taste?" Dill sat next to Levi, very serious and eager to know Levi's evaluation of the cake she made by herself.

Levi took a spoon and dug a small piece of cake into his mouth, "Not bad."

"That means I'm still a bit good." Dai'er said complacently, holding a cup of black tea in both hands.

Touching Dai'er's head, Levi pretended to be angry and taught: "Little devil, don't get carried away."

Fitch was sitting across from Levi and Del, seeing how they got along, he was envious but also a little sad, his parents were gone, and he was an only child, so he might not be able to enjoy the family again in the future. It's warm.

Not long after dinner was over, Han Ji stood on a stool and attracted everyone's attention loudly, "Everyone, tonight is New Year's Eve. According to reliable news, there will be a grand fireworks display in Trost District. Let's go together." Look!"

"Okay!" Han Ji's appeal was unanimously agreed by everyone.

"You guys go, I'll stay..." Levi was about to get up to clean up the tableware on the table when Dier grabbed his arm.

"Brother..." Dai'er pouted, looking at him with teary eyes.

"How about this, I'll stay and clean up, you guys go." Fei Qi stood up and volunteered.

"Me too." Another sub-captain also stood up, "Levi, it's a rare vacation, let's spend more time with your sister."

Levi looked down at Dier's expectant eyes again, and could only agree.He turned his head and said to those who stayed behind to help, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Erwin, Mikay, Hanji, Levi, and several other squad leaders and the soldiers of the staying survey corps put on their civilian clothes and came to Trost District together.The fireworks show has not yet started, but the streets and riverbanks are already crowded with passers-by watching the excitement.It's easy to get lost in crowded places, so Dai'er has been holding Levi's arm tightly after entering the city, and was bumped several times along the way, but the two are still well bound together.But the others were not so lucky. They were directly scattered by the turbulent flow of people and couldn't find each other.

It was just the right time to arrive in the Trost District, a firework flew into the sky with a 'swoosh', and soon turned into a bright flower ball in midair, illuminating the city below as bright as day.Seeing the fireworks show started, pedestrians stopped and looked up to watch.

"Wow..." Dai'er sighed softly, beautiful fireworks blooming in her eyes.The last time I watched fireworks was when I was an intern in the Garrison Corps after graduating from the Training Corps.At that time, a group of recruits ran to the 50-meter-high wall to watch the fireworks at the risk of severe cold and being checked, but was severely criticized by the instructor.The last time was to watch the fireworks with Vanessa. The two of them watched the fireworks on the street until their necks were stiff, and they didn't return to the training regiment to rest until the crowd dispersed.

Tired from leaning her neck for a long time, Daier quietly let go of Levi's arm, pretending that Levi didn't notice anything, and slowly moved to the front right of him.Leaning his body back, the back of his head just rested on Levi's shoulder, so his neck wouldn't be so sore.This is the correct way for my brother to use it when watching fireworks.

Levi only looked up at the fireworks a few times before lowering his head again.Even in such a lively and cheerful atmosphere, he still watched the movements around him vigilantly, for example, to see if anyone would take the opportunity to steal their wallets.Because at this time, Dai'er's attention was completely attracted by the fireworks, and her vigilance plummeted to a negative number.

Suddenly, Levi felt a chill on his arm, and it turned out that Delle was no longer holding his hand.Just when she was about to ask Dai'er where she was going, the little devil moved in front of him without lifting his feet, and then used him as a cushion with peace of mind.

Tsk!How unreasonable!

Levi rubbed Dier's hair with his free hand, then put his hand down, and gently wrapped his arms around her waist to prevent her from accidentally rolling over and falling to the ground.

Banquet (1)

It was also New Year's Eve. In the mansion of the Russell family, there was an endless stream of carriages, and nobles from all walks of life got off at the gate and walked into the magnificent banquet hall.

In the hall, more than a dozen magnificent glass chandeliers hang neatly on the ceiling covered with murals.A band was playing dance music with changing rhythms, and there was a dance floor in the center of the hall. The noble men and women who arrived danced to the music, and the gorgeous skirts of the ladies bloomed in circles again and again.

Around the dance floor are round and rectangular dining tables covered in white tablecloths.Intricately embroidered cushion chairs sit next to the round dining table.The rectangular dining table was filled with rich food, and the nobles who were not dancing were chatting and laughing with wine glasses.

When the invited nobles were about to arrive, a tall figure walked down the stairs slowly.This scene quieted some people who were talking, and their eyes were deeply attracted.

A sky blue tube top and tunic dress first caught people's eyes, with a circle of snow-colored fine velvet on the collar, white lace trim on the layered skirt, and a pair of high-heeled shoes studded with diamonds. Flickers in and out with slender feet as you descend the stairs.The slightly curly silver hair was tied behind the head and fixed with a golden carved hair clip, but there was another strand of silky hair that seemed to be casually placed on the smooth shoulders, setting off the exquisite collarbone.Exquisite makeup makes Vanessa look elegant and charming at times, and it makes most people tremble when she appears on the stage.

When Vanessa was a few steps away from finishing the stairs, Creek, who had been waiting by the stairs for a long time, stepped forward and extended his hand towards Vanessa in a gentlemanly manner.Vanessa understood, raised her hand to shake hands with him, and Creek accompanied her through the remaining few steps, "Now I will take you to say hello to them."

"Okay." Vanessa replied softly.Looking up at Crick, his straight figure with black dress coat and white scarf made him look more mature and stable.

The two took a glass of champagne from the servant who was serving them, and walked to the nearest round table together.

"Dolores, long time no see."

"My God, I haven't seen you for a few years, and I almost don't recognize you."

"I heard that you often go to the border recently, so pay attention to safety."

Everyone intentionally or unintentionally avoided sensitive words such as "participating in training soldiers" to save some "face" for Vanessa.Some of those 'acquaintances' and 'relatives' just greeted Vanessa in a mild manner, while others flattered her with a smile on their faces. For this single person who had been out of touch with the aristocratic circle for a long time, they are still in a wait-and-see state.They didn't dare to act rashly until they saw clearly the direction of the internal struggle in the Sterling family.

After meeting all the guests one after another, Crick asked Vanessa: "How do you feel? Are you still used to it?"

"Fortunately, it's just the things I've carried on my back these past few days have caused my head to hurt." After finishing speaking, Vanessa carelessly rubbed her forehead.

"Everyone knows that you became a trainee, but they don't know
