Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

In the lake of light.

"It's getting late, let's go back quickly." Erwin reminded.

Dai'er silently followed Erwin, walked a few steps and couldn't help asking: "When we first went out, my brother left with an excuse and hasn't come back until now. Do you know what he went to do?"

Erwin didn't say, "I told him something else."

"Okay." Dai'er didn't ask further, because she suddenly remembered what Levi had said to her when Mobritt was injured, 'don't ask about things you shouldn't ask'.

Erwin squinted at Del, although she was full of doubts, she used her own reason to suppress her instinctive urge to get to the bottom of it. "Also, please keep it a secret that Levi is not with us today."

"Yes. Leader." Dai'er immediately responded.

'Looks like Levi's teaching well. ' thought Erwin.

As soon as she returned to the room, Dai saw Vanessa lying listlessly on her side on the bed, "Did you have a good time today?"

"Fortunately, I'm just a little tired." Although she came back two hours early, Vanessa still felt tired.

"Then you take a break, Captain Erwin said he would take us to eat delicious food." Dale tried to talk to Vanessa in a lively tone to hide her worry about her.For some reason, she always felt that Levi's mission had a lot to do with Vanessa.

In another room, Erwin asked about Levi's follow-up situation today while changing clothes.

Levi sat on the bed and said, "Everything seems normal, except that I met that nobleman halfway."

"Encounter?" Erwin carefully read Levi's words, "That is to say, although they met, it was just a coincidence?"

"At least on the surface." Levi recalled: "And judging from the way they talked, Vanessa's kid is definitely not simple."

Erwin asked curiously, "What makes you think so?"

"Because she wasn't nervous at all when talking to that kid, and she didn't feel inferior at all. Is this what an ordinary civilian can show?"

"Aren't you the same?" Erwin chuckled, turned to face the mirror and slowly put on his tie, "Maybe, we can try her out before we go back."

"Tsk, I will leave this troublesome matter to you."

Royal Capital (3)

Dinner was held in a small tavern with a warm atmosphere. According to Erwin, it was a place recommended by him during the same period in the Gendarmerie.The soft lighting is matched with the melodious violin music, and the warm fireplace sets off the aroma of food. The guests at each table are chatting and eating happily, which is a little lively but just right so that it will not affect others.As long as you take a seat, you can naturally integrate into it.

The four sat on both sides of a rectangular table, Erwin and Levi sat on one side, Dill and Vanessa sat on one side, and Vanessa was directly opposite Erwin.

At the beginning, Vanessa was a little cautious. After all, this trip to the capital was considered to be her "spitting face" to follow, and now I want Erwin to treat her to dinner, and I feel a little bit sorry.

Since this meal was Erwin's treat, the task of ordering food fell on him naturally.

"I didn't expect you to trust my taste so much." Erwin skillfully snapped his fingers to let the waiter come over, and ordered a steak for everyone.

When the steak was served, Dill and Vanessa stared at the plate in front of them in unison, drooling from the corners of their mouths.Soon realizing that she looked a little out of control, Vanessa immediately pulled Daier to sit upright, "Captain Erwin, please go first."

"Now we are just 'traveling' companions, so we don't need to be too restrained." Erwin said, then picked up the knife and fork and started cutting meat.

"Erwin, when did you become so rich?" Levi asked in a low voice, picking up the cutlery.

Erwin replied as a matter of course: "After all, I also have a share of the bonus this time."

After Erwin and Levi both started eating, Vanessa picked up the knife and fork and elegantly cut a small piece of steak into her mouth.The moment the beef entered the mouth, Vanessa was overwhelmed by the soft, tender and juicy texture, and all her troubles were forgotten.She touched her cheeks happily, "I almost forgot what meat tastes like."

"Ah..." Dai'er couldn't help but sighed after taking a bite of the steak, "It's delicious, I can't bear to swallow it."

In addition to a steak for each, Erwin also ordered food such as fruit salad, mashed potatoes, and small cakes. Whenever the waiter brought the dishes, he still kindly asked Dai and Vanessa to eat more .

The two waiters standing in the distance waiting to greet the guests looked at Erwin's table. The two girls were enjoying the food carefree and chatting with Erwin, the eldest who knew it at a glance. Levi, sitting next to Erwin, eats in silence, but looks more inarticulate than isolated.One of the waiters said enviously: "Look how warm their family of four is."

"You mean the blond man with three kids? Judging by the color of their hair, the family relationship is a bit complicated."

During the meal, Erwin announced an exciting news for Del: "We will take the boat back to Trost District tomorrow afternoon, rest well tonight, and tomorrow morning we will walk around."

"Really?" Dai'er felt a little pity that she finally came to the capital and spent most of the day on office work. She didn't expect Erwin to be so caring, and even booked a later boat ticket.She happily tugged Vanessa's arm back and forth, and Vanessa could only pretend that the arm was not hers for the time being and let Del pull.

"Dell, let go, Vanessa's arm is going to be torn off by you." Levi reminded.

Dai'er turned her head, and when she saw Vanessa's 'loveless' look, she silently 'returned' Vanessa's arm.

Suddenly, Erwin asked Vanessa, "You should have been to a lot of places today, right? Do you think there is anything interesting in Wangdu?"

"Speaking of interesting places..." Vanessa was about to answer, but she swallowed the words. Of course, she knows what interesting places are in Wangdu. After all, she has been here before, but today she only went The most prosperous commercial street in the capital.Fortunately, I didn't mention the places I haven't been to today, otherwise I don't know how to fill this hole.It took less than a second for Vanessa to reorganize the language, "The commercial street I went to today is not bad, there are both expensive and cheap things, you can go there and have a look."

"That's it." Erwin still maintained an amiable smile.

After returning to the residence and turning off the lights in the room, Vanessa wrapped her head in a warm quilt, buried her head in the large and elastic pillow and fell asleep contentedly, even though Daier on the next bed was still rolling excitedly.

When Vanessa was woken up by Dai'er, it was just dawn. Although she really wanted to sleep for a while, if she overslept, she would not be woken up by being shaken, but might be woken up by Levi's kick.

After getting up, changing clothes, and dressing up, Del took Vanessa to the outside of Erwin and Levi's room and knocked on the door, "We'll wait for you in the dining room first."

It didn't take long for Erwin and Levi to dress up and come to the restaurant. After the four of them had a simple breakfast, Vanessa led the way to the most prosperous commercial street in the capital.It was still early, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Some businesses hadn't opened their doors yet, and some had opened.

Dai'er walked in the front excitedly, and she had to look twice at everything, especially when she saw the meat floss bread and meat floss cakes in the pastry shop, her expression was as surprised as if she had discovered a treasure.But touching her shriveled wallet, she could only reluctantly give up, walked away with tears in her eyes, and never looked back.

Erwin asked Vanessa who was quietly walking beside him, "It should be more lively when you came yesterday than now."

"Well, I came in the afternoon yesterday, when all the shops were open." Vanessa replied.

"It is said that there is a very popular tavern at the end of this street. Did you see it when you came yesterday?"

Vanessa shook her head, "No."

"That's really strange, haven't you walked this street all afternoon?" Erwin asked casually.

"I didn't feel well yesterday, so I went back early, and I couldn't walk around the whole street." Vanessa quickened her pace and walked in front of Erwin and Levi guiltily, and couldn't let Erwin have a chance to ask questions. .

The conversation just now made the back of Vanessa's neck tremble. Erwin seemed to be testing her schedule yesterday intentionally or unintentionally. Is he already doubting himself?Judging from Erwin's methods of resolving the crises of the Investigation Corps time and time again, his scheming is far deeper than his own, and the falsified information he has reserved in the Military Police Corps in the Trost District is so simple, as long as Erwin wants to investigate , I will definitely doubt my identity.But the reality is that neither Erwin nor Levi showed any doubts about her, as if they were waiting for Vanessa to show her feet.

"She escaped." Levi said softly, looking at Vanessa's back.

Erwin didn't speak, and stared ahead blankly, making it unpredictable.

Dai Er, who couldn't afford meat floss bread, took the next best thing and bought a colorful lollipop from a candy stand.Holding the candy, she turned around and ran towards Vanessa happily, "Look, look, this candy is so beautiful."

Just when she was about to walk up to Vanessa, a man wearing a hat suddenly walked towards Daier from the side quickly and bumped into her on purpose
