[Attack on Titan] puppet

Hanji's report and proposal were quickly released in the all-night rush, and Aiweier personally rushed to the capital to submit to the central government, waiting for the final ruling.

Vicky held the expensive envelope that the courier had just delivered to her. The seal was glued together by the seal seal with complicated patterns, and the bright red family crest was like clotted thick blood. Just looking at it, she felt disgusted. Spit out last night's vegetable soup together with gastric juices without reservation.

Even if she doesn't need to look at her, she knows that there is definitely no pleasant content in this seemingly pure white envelope, just like her family, or those powerful classes like her family, are all rich and precious. Outside, it is ruined.

"Sorry." Excessive distraction caused Vicky to accidentally bump into someone at the corner of the corridor. She hurriedly lowered her head slightly to apologize, but after seeing who it was, she subconsciously squeezed out the flat envelope in her hand. Wrinkles that couldn't be smoothed out, "So it's you, Adrian."

Roger didn't realize it for a while, and was stunned for a moment, and then replied as if he suddenly realized: "Oh, Vicky, long time no see."

This calmness as if nothing had happened made Vicky feel more and more awkward. She stared hostilely at the brown-haired boy in front of her who seemed to be living a safe life in the confinement room. With a thorn in the middle: "Of course, since the day you stabbed Mary and made a big fuss in public, you were imprisoned by Captain Levi. I don't think we will have a chance to meet... Also, I still like it when you call me by my last name."

Roger probably felt that his current image was really shabby. He combed his short messy hair embarrassingly before trying to convince Vicky plausibly: "You don't have to be so angry, Babbitt, she's just a monster and doesn't exist at all. A question of stabbing and not stabbing."

"So what? Mary never hurt anyone, and you, Roger Adrian, you stabbed the blade into the body of your companion instead of the back of the giant's neck!" Intrigues, countless people want to confuse your audition through gossip and blind your eyes, Vicky has always believed everything she feels.

Under Levi's intentional protection, the ignorant and ignorant three years experienced by the three of them together is enough for her to remember the treasures of her life. In her opinion, everything that happened during these years cannot be faked. true.

Our friendship is unbreakable.

Seeing that the other party was not shaken by this at all, Roger added eagerly and seemingly painfully: "And Albert, yes, your other friend Albert, you said that monster is harmless? I saw him with my own eyes. In order to save that monster, an arm was bitten off by a giant! How pitiful!" That was more tormenting than direct death.

"With your own eyes?"

"Yes, with my own eyes!" Roger affirmed, his expression full of pathos that Vicky couldn't fathom.

Vicky couldn't wait to rush up and punch this guy who looked so pretentious. The envelope was curled up in an ugly ball, and her hands were already clenched into fists. She closed her angry blue eyes and took deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down as soon as possible.

She has no right to accuse Roger of sitting on the sidelines. You must know that when she faced the giant for the first time, her brain went blank. Unable to make any movements, let alone raise the blade to fight back.

But what made Vicky unbearable was that Roger, who obviously couldn't do anything by himself, sympathized with Albert in a condescending tone!It's like sympathizing with a poor wretch on the side of the road who has gone astray!

"Because I am a friend, I respect Albert's choice made with his life as a bet, so I won't blame Mary like you, for enduring the great fear of death and implementing her will in action He, I feel admiration and pride from the bottom of my heart."

Vicky once thought that if Albert hadn't applied to change positions with her, she would never be able to do what Albert did even when he was dying, and he would not give up killing giants, stick to his beliefs and protect his dreams. something to guard.

Vicky didn't think it could be summed up in just the word "poor".

"Speaking of which, why are you so excited? For you who just watched everything indifferently from the beginning to the end, why do you pretend to show your cheap sympathy?" Vicki felt that the person in front of her was simply unreasonable, contradictory to the point of He was a lunatic who had been frightened so much that he was deranged. After all, he was a coward who was too weak to join the Survey Corps when he was in the training camp.

Roger's pupils contracted suddenly, he staggered back a step while holding his forehead, and murmured: "It's not hypocrisy, I really don't want him to die...I, I originally wanted to help him, but my body moved No... I don't want to die so early... I can't die fearlessly like him."

As long as I saw the giant, I couldn't get rid of the shocking tragedy in the Shiganshina area. My mother was trampled into a mess beside him, and the meat was spread sticky on the floor tiles. Jiang Jiang became a bloody piece in an instant, and his father was crushed and swallowed by the giant. Roger was always afraid that it would be his turn next.

"Fearless? How is it possible... No one wants to die so early! You don't want to, I don't want to, and Albert doesn't want to! Everyone in the Survey Corps doesn't want to!" Visibly choked.

It’s just that everyone has no choice. If no one takes the initiative to break through the cage, it will never be opened automatically. In the face of a life that is so short that it may disappear at any time, they can’t expect that they will not die suddenly. They can only pray blindly The arrival of death can be slower, slower...

Vicky didn't know whether Albert had humbly wanted to extend his life before he died, and whether he also had the idea of ​​expecting to be rescued, even if it was only for a second.

All she knew was that she couldn't bear this irreparable thing happening a second time, and she was always terrified of going through the practice of abandoning the few for the sake of the many, and she wasn't strong enough to watch Mary die. Leave her like Albert.

"He didn't want to die either? Oh, yes, it turned out to be the case, so it was the same as I said before, it was a monster that hurt people, and I should have found out her weakness and killed her directly." Roger was unusually calm He said, his eyes were empty and lifeless, as silent as a lake without waves, "I was looking forward to becoming like him, so I finally mustered up the courage and made up my mind to join the Survey Corps and take back my hometown with my own hands."

Vicky stared at Roger with wide eyes in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"Can't even resist? It's because of your cowardly appearance that they chose to beat you instead of me, idiot, this time I just bumped into you to help you, next time I won't be so lucky Well, unless you enjoy it, being gang-beaten feels good, otherwise try to fight yourself."

"Thank you? No need, that's disgusting. Besides, you're so weak that you can't even see me right now. Wait until you get a little bit stronger before you talk to me about it."

"...He said this, it was all the fault of that monster, he took away my hope! The goal I yearn for and the motivation to move forward! If I let her live again, I don't know whose turn it will be next! It's likely to be Captain Levi, right? I chose to get rid of that monster for the sake of all mankind." As Roger spoke, his expressions twisted together like crazy, and he seemed to be mentally tense. A string, as long as it is slightly stimulated, it will break irreparably.

Vicky bit her lower lip and didn't dare to say another word, fearing that it would make things worse. She could feel that Roger's mental state was already extremely unstable, or that he was already out of order.

If it was in the past, she would definitely laugh at Albert without any scruples for gaining loyal followers by accident, and mercilessly criticize Albert's shortcomings in front of Roger, hoping that he can turn around.

But now she just felt extremely bitter, why did things develop like this?How would Albert react if he was still alive?Will I look like this after losing Mary?And if those words reached Mary's ears... Vicky's headache was pounding at the moment's flood of questions.

"Roger, don't you just rely on others like a parasite instead of going on your own? Tsk, I really taught an incredible idiot inadvertently." Levi who suddenly appeared was completely different Vicky was so scrupulous, she directly grabbed Roger by the collar and pressed him against the wall vigorously, speaking mercilessly.

"Captain Levi?! Since when did you start..." Vicky looked in surprise at the man who suddenly appeared without any warning. Although she had a grudge against Levi because of some things before, she couldn't help it. It would be reassuring not to admit that his presence was inexplicable.

"What stupid things are you talking about?" Levi clamped Roger's neck easily with his elbows to make him unable to struggle, turned his head and glanced at Vicky with sharp eyes, and said not very nicely: "You are in my The loud noise at the door of the office can be heard clearly even through the wooden boards, if I can, I really want to throw you two annoying stinky brats out of the window."

Only then did Vicky realize that they were standing in the corridor outside Levi's office, and through the open wooden door on the right rear, they could faintly see messy documents scattered on the floor and a stained quill pen, as if it had been The owner who couldn't bear it anymore angrily threw it on the ground.

Roger glared at Levi fearlessly and said, "You're taking sides with that monster, Captain Levi."

Without saying a word, Levi pulled Roger by the collar and forced him to bend over. At the same time, he bent his legs and kicked him mercilessly in the stomach. After letting go of his hand, Roger had to slide limply against the wall. On the ground, lying reclined and clutching his severely injured part in pain, Levi's cold voice came from above his head: "I've been merciful enough to you, kid Roger, if it were Mary, that brat was full of trouble If you still don't repent for your stupid thoughts, I'd beat her up so much that even her own father couldn't recognize her."

It is because of the importance that it is even more inconsolable, Levi has always been like this.

"you……"

"Favouritism? Don't change the topic for me when I'm educating you, just let me discuss the facts." Levi squatted|squatting down, roughly grabbed Roger's hair and forced him to raise his head to look at him, sideways Overhead easily dodged the soft attacking fist, and said quite appreciatively: "The spirit of resistance is worthy of praise."

"It's a pity you used the wrong place." Levi let go of his hand, stood up and kicked Roger again with the top of the hard military boot.

"Cough cough..." Roger coughed several times, although it was not serious enough to see blood, but the saliva could not stop flowing on the ground along the mouth that was constantly panting violently. Vicky, who was watching from the side, couldn't bear to hesitate whether she should dissuade him, but even if she said it, she didn't think Levi would listen.

"Attachment to the strong has always been exclusive to the weak. Use your rusty brain to think carefully. If you lose your goal just because the person you are attached to is no longer there, then you will never meet his expectations, no matter how angry you are. No matter how high-sounding your reason is, it can't cover up the fact that you are weak." Levi looked down at Roger, whose breathing gradually calmed down, and he had to admit that the kid Mary was obviously more conscious in this regard.

Roger fell into silence for a while, and then slowly said: "Your words are correct, Captain Levi, but it doesn't mean that I can approve of that monster." In the end, he still couldn't let go of it completely, even if that The monster used to fight the strange species instead of him who was too frightened to move.

"This is your business, not mine." Levi didn't care, and after a little glance at Roger, he continued calmly: "It's just that I don't want those words from your mouth again. Hear it a second time, especially in front of that brat."

"The mouth grows on me."

"Of course, if you're not afraid that I'll beat you until you can't speak." Levi's face darkened instantly, "Kids, don't naively try to get cheap in front of adults and act good, especially when that adult is still from the underground street. You bastard, this is the advice your former instructor and current boss gave you."

Roger didn't nod or shake his head, he was really overwhelmed by Levi's aura, he mustered up the courage to ask when Levi was about to leave: "Captain Levi, if she If you are in danger, will you risk your life to save such a monster like Albert?"

"That's my business, not yours." Levi didn't affirm or deny it, he casually made a fool of himself, then walked back to the office and closed the wooden door heavily, he really didn't know how to answer this question Bitter question, now that he is still alive, he can protect the kid from greater psychological pressure and harm like he is now stopping Roger.

But if he dies to save the kid, facing the pressure of public opinion and countless taunts and accusations, then no one can replace him to protect her, before Levi really faces that juncture Never knowing what he would do, he only hoped that that day would never come.

It seemed that it would take him a lot of effort just to clean up the mess on the ground, Levi frowned with a headache.

Vicky glanced at Roger, who was kicked by the two kicks just now and couldn't fully recover to the state of being able to stand up from the ground, guessing that Levi always knew the basic severity of the attack, and would not kick anything except pain. It's too big of a problem, and after Levi's warning just now, she doesn't have to worry about having any bad influence on Mary, so she turns around and prepares to go back to her room to open the letter.

"Babbitt." Roger called Vicky abruptly.

"What?" Vicky replied, turning her head to watch Roger who was smiling uncomfortably.

"It seems that Captain Levi is more interested in your monster friend than in you." Originally speaking with the mentality of trying, Roger no longer expected to be able to successfully sow discord, but After seeing Vicky's surprised expression, even he couldn't help but feel surprised. Unexpectedly, he really made a mistake and guessed right.

"You are the real poor guy." Vicky ignored Roger's disgusting expression, and left without saying hello.

After returning to the room, she opened the envelope whose original shape could not be discerned for a long time. The fancy font that was favored by the nobles was written by her powerful father. Although the content of the letter was somewhat beyond Her expectation was not completely unexpected, and she took out the cheap paper in the drawer and wrote the reply almost without thinking.

That night, Aiweier rushed back from the capital, and brought back a piece of bad news with a solemn expression.

"Death penalty? How is this possible!" Han Ji slapped Aiweier's solid desk with a direct slap.
