Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

(1)

When Dill went back to sleep listlessly, Levi, Fran, and Isabel secretly gathered in the living room again to discuss how to comfort her.

"What should I do? Dai'er seems to be really sad." Isabel scratched her head, her eyebrows almost touched together, "I feel that she is actually so depressed because she is afraid that she will not be able to help anymore."

"It's too late to say anything now." Frantoji thought for a while, "We need to make her understand that even if she doesn't participate in the work, we won't despise her."

"You two..." Levi was silent for a long time and finally spoke, "So far, what kind of thinking do you have in view of that brat?"

Fran showed a tangled expression, "I'm a little confused when you say that." After all, I just wanted to use her to earn money at first, and then treated her like a companion unconsciously... No , should be closer than his companions, he will not go to great lengths to coax an unhappy subordinate.

"Does it need to be said?" Isabelle slapped the table and realized that Dale was still sleeping when she saw Fran give her a 'hush' forcefully. She turned down the volume embarrassingly, but said in a very firm tone: "Didn't we always treat Dai'er like a family member?"

"It seems to be the case, right, Levi." Fran felt a sense of enlightenment.

Levi was relieved the moment he spoke, he was very relieved that they all thought this way, "I don't know if the kid is too naive or too realistic, if she doesn't give her a little work, she may not be able to accept what we gave her out of thin air. anything."

"But we really don't need her help." Isabel said awkwardly.

"This is indeed a problem." Fran also felt that his IQ was not enough at the moment, and raising a child was indeed not an easy task.

In the past few days, Dai'er has thought a lot. She doesn't want to be a burden to them, and she doesn't want to get something for nothing, but as long as she stays here, she can't escape this mental torment.

Over the past year or so, she has learned a lot. She is no longer the weak child who was bullied by others, so she doesn't need to hang on.But it seemed a bit irresponsible to walk away, Dai'er curled up in the bed and made a difficult decision.

The next day, Dai'er hurriedly finished her breakfast and went out with dark circles under her eyes.

Levi grabbed the teacup and drank tea. Seeing that Dai'er was going out, he told her, "Little devil, don't come back too late."

Dai'er pushed open the door and tilted her head bluntly to show that she knew.

This time she went out not to buy things, not to find friends to play, but to find a new home.It seems that Levi and the others don't need her anymore, so she can find someone who needs her, watch the wind, step on the spot, fight, steal things... There are still many things she can do.Say goodbye to them after you find a new job, so at least you won't look too useless.

After walking through all the familiar streets, Dai'er didn't find a place to take her in, maybe she didn't look for it with her heart.Until now, Dai'er is still very conflicted in her heart.How much she hoped that they could keep her, and finally found a 'home' with a sense of belonging, but she didn't have the strength to match it, so she could only watch their backs drifting away alone.

let go (2)

It was lunch time, and her stomach was beating drums with hunger, and Levi had told her to go back early, so Daier had to drag her tired pace back to her residence.At that moment, she felt inferior.

"You're back, we were just thinking about whether to go out to find you." Fran took Dai'er's little hand, "We made a lot of money yesterday, so I bought your favorite meat floss bread at noon today. .”

Dai'er swallowed, forcibly resisting the urge to fly to the table, and slowly shook her head.

"Oh? What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?" Isabel knelt down, put the back of her hand against Dai'er's forehead to check the temperature, and then touched her own forehead, "It's strange, I don't have a fever."

"Tsk..." Levi said, "Whether you eat or not, you have to wash the dishes at noon today. Also, too many people entered the house yesterday, and the floor was dirty. Cleaning the floor is also your job. .”

"Yes, yes, yes..." Fran hurriedly chimed in, "Also, you have to keep a record of the food, rice, oil and salt at home. If you don't have any, you must replenish them in time, especially Levi's cleaning supplies."

"Yeah." Isabel also said: "Also, every time we go to work, we work very hard, and the first thing we do when we come back is to take a good rest, so you must remember to boil the water and cook the meal before we come back , especially remember to make a pot of black tea for the elder brother. And often squeeze our shoulders and backs, you understand?"

"Why do I feel that we are abusing child labor..." Fran couldn't help complaining in a low voice.

However, in Dai'er's view, she seemed to see a glimmer of hope.Although the job of robbery is no longer her turn, it turns out that she still has so many places to be needed.So she listened silently, took note of what Levi and the others had just said and nodded seriously in response.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's eat quickly." Fran led Dai'er to the table, and put the plate with meat floss bread in front of her.However, Dai'er has no intention of eating.She said with her lips: "Those things just now are just daily housework..."

"But the daily housework is the most important thing..." Fran was quick to think, "Think about it, if the housework we just mentioned is not done well, will the family be in a mess? If this happens, Levi will be very unhappy .If Levi is unhappy, there will be problems at work. Levi is our main force. If he has problems, then our income will be greatly reduced. So in the end, the work you are responsible for is the most important thing It is even more important than the work that the three of us are responsible for."

Dai'er was stupefied for a moment, and Fran almost believed it.Although the logic of this statement is not very tenable, it is enough for Daile to believe that she is indispensable.This time, Dai'er didn't hesitate too much, and slowly reached out to grab the bread and put it in her mouth to eat it.

Seeing that Dai'er recovered a little bit of energy, Fran and Isabel breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that the method of finding something to do for Dai'er does work, so that she can continue to accept their kindness with peace of mind.It just seemed a little too much just now.

Encounter (1)

Since being assigned a lot of 'chores', Dai'er has completely changed, no longer worrying about gains and losses, and no longer looking for a new home without a sense of security.Since housework is an essential and important part of work, she still looks after the house honestly, tidies up the house, boils a pot of water, and can drink a cup of hot tea when Levi and the others come back .

Fran and Isabel felt a great change in Dai'er, because they used to secretly help Dai'er clean up, but now Dai'er has even done their part, and their lives are more leisurely than ever.

As more and more money was robbed, life gradually became more comfortable. From time to time, Levi and the others would take Dai'er out to eat out.Eating in the tavern, the dishes are quite rich in styles. Dai'er struggled with looking at the menu for a long time, and finally decided to order the meat floss bread.

In addition to the staple food, Levi ordered black tea, Fran ordered beer, and Isabel and Del each ordered a glass of orange juice.

Dai'er stared curiously at the golden yellow liquid in the flange cup, the surface was covered with a layer of white foam, as if she was having fun.She glanced at the two uncles at the next table, they were also drinking beer, and they took a long breath after drinking, very hearty and dripping.

Is it that delicious?Dai Er looked at Fran curiously, touched his beer glass with her fingertips, "I want to try." She said with her lips.

"Alcohol is not good for children." Fran moved the glass away from Dill.

Del pursed her lips and stretched out her hands towards the beer glass, showing the determination of 'I must try it'.

"Give her a sip, the brat won't turn back until he hits a wall," Levi said casually.

"Okay then." Fran picked up the cup and brought it to Del's mouth.

Just after swallowing a small sip, Daier instinctively pushed the cup away, this thing is too bad to drink, there is a strange 'smell' (the smell of fermented wheat), Brother Fran's taste is similar to Brother Levi's The same wonderful.She had secretly drank Levi's black tea before. Levi didn't know about it. The dry taste is still fresh in her memory. I don't understand why adults still drink this kind of thing with a look of enjoyment. It's simply masochistic .

After coming out of the tavern, Dai'er felt that she had learned a lot, the most important of which was that beer and black tea were both bad, and each had its own characteristics.

"Meet you again, you guys." A malicious voice came from behind.

The four of them looked back and recognized each other for a long time in a daze.It was Dai Er who first remembered that the man was the human trafficker who had captured her back then, and she clenched Isabel's hand in horror and hid behind her.

"I remembered, last time you were beaten badly enough, did you come to ask for it again this time?" Fran asked casually.

The traffickers were annoyed that they didn't recognize him immediately, "You should be the ones begging for beating."

At some point, except for a group of thugs who surrounded them, there was no one around.

Encounter (2)

More than a dozen professional thugs who copied the guy rushed up, and one of them they recognized was the big tattooed guy who lost to Levi in ​​the previous game.The four of them immediately took out their self-defense weapons and stood ready. Levi and Franmer
