[Attack on Titan] puppet

My name is Randall, and I just graduated from the training regiment today, because I have been obsessed with the heroic deeds of the heroes who fought against the wall of Maria when the giants destroyed and invaded the wall of Maria since I was a child, so I have always been motivated to join the Survey Corps.

"No, Randall, you don't need to go outside the wall to die with those lunatics who are looking for trouble. Even if you can't join the gendarmerie, you should join the garrison regiment. Listen to your mother, it's safe inside the wall, you shouldn't commit suicide road."

The night before choosing the Corps, I hurried home and sincerely told my mother about my decision, hoping to gain her understanding and support, but things didn’t go very well, she seemed to have heard something out of the Arabian Nights He looked at me in disbelief, trying to change my mind.

"Before 845, everyone also had this idea of ​​'safety inside the wall'. No one imagined that giants would actually break through the wall... As long as they are not completely wiped out for a day, history will eventually repeat itself." I am firmly Watching her revealed a determination that shocked even me: "I also want to fight for the freedom of human beings like them."

"But now it's 957, and that happened more than 100 years ago..." My mother looked at me sadly, as if she understood that I couldn't stop me. Thousands of words turned into a sigh in the end, helpless After looking at me carefully, he nodded slightly.

Yes, I was fortunate to be born in a peaceful era when the Wall of Maria was taken back long ago, but unfortunately in this era most people are content with the status quo and have lost the will to fight against giants.

Perhaps because it has been a hundred years, the historical witnesses of that chaotic period and the heroes who fought for it have all passed away. Compared with the truth that can bring people fear, that cruel history is more like It is a text that only exists in books and has no sense of reality, and cannot strike the hearts that have been numb due to drowning in the peaceful age and resonate.

I didn't answer the call again, and the whole dinner was silent and depressed.

In the early morning of the next day, I had to leave early, because it is said that the head of the survey corps will come over in person in the morning to give a speech on recruiting recruits.

As the only real person who has lived in that period of history that remains in the world, he is the person I have always admired the most. I can't wait to talk to him. Unfortunately, I usually only listen to rumors of mixed positive and negative evaluations. I've heard about it, let alone a dialogue, and I didn't even have a chance to meet each other.

"Be careful all the way, Randall, remember to write letters home often, and come back to read more when you are free." My mother gave me a hug, and I could feel the warmth from the skirt of my clothes. I thought she might be Crying, "Promise me, live."

"I will." I also raised my hand and hugged her. I want to engrave this feeling deeply in my mind. Although I agreed so to make my mother feel at ease, I am not sure if I can Survive the expedition, maybe this will be the last hug.

Even so, I don't feel regretful. Someone has to take the initiative to stand up and fight. If everyone blindly counts on others, it will never be possible to move forward.

Back at the training camp, I had a chat with my companions in the same period. Not long after, the instructor ordered us to go outside to form a team. Before that, we signed a military confidentiality agreement, to the effect that we are not allowed to share what we saw and heard today. Tell anyone else, including your family, or you will be punished by death.

I think that the people from the Survey Corps came, and the people around me were all talking about the Survey Corps at the same time. They didn't seem to think deeply about the agreement. I had a feeling of "finally becoming an official Soldiers have touched the military agreement" and did not think much of it except the pride.

It is said that through years of unremitting efforts, the giant's range of activities has been forced farther and farther away from the wall, and it is constantly advancing towards the sea, completely eradicating the giant, making the day when human beings usher in freedom is just around the corner. Into my ears, the opposite is "since it's almost successful, I don't need to join in it" to shirk responsibility.

"Salute!" The instructor reminded loudly.

I put my right hand at my heart, and by the time I was unresponsive and sneaked a peek at the aisle on the right, I had already missed the front. I only saw two backs, one tall and one short, and the stamped freedom rolling with my steps. Wing's green cloak.

He was so handsome, I couldn't help sighing in my heart, silently imagining the handsome moment when I put on the cape.

I stood on tiptoe and stretched my neck to look at the stage. When I finally saw the two people walking on the podium, I was completely stunned. I kept asking "Is the leader really coming?" The companions also looked surprised, and they seemed to have the same doubts as me.

No matter how you look at the two people in front of you, they don't fit the image of "the head of the investigation corps" imagined through the little information instilled since childhood.

Because a long time ago, as long as my grandfather's generation, there was no chance to see the true face of the head of the group. I heard that he never showed his face in front of ordinary people. He usually came out of the wall early, and then responded to the investigation outside the wall. The large troops of the corps will not follow them when they come back, but will stay outside the wall for several days. Occasionally, when they see real people, they also wear hoods, cloaks and masks.

Opinions have diverged over time, and even gender has been split amidst the rife rumors.

In my impression, a person who has lived for more than 100 years should be a strong and capable old man, but the blond man on the stage looks very young, probably about 25 years old, and the woman next to him, or the girl looks like It's so outrageous that she seems to be the same age as me, and I even feel that I am not as young as her...

"Randall, I think you should be disappointed. The captain you've been dreaming of may not be able to come because of sore joints. I know the blond one. It was rumored that he was surrounded, but he shot continuously in one breath. Captain Eric, who escaped by killing five giants." My deadly enemy patted me on the shoulder, and then smiled gloatingly.

I was unconvinced and prepared to refute, but before I could say "Silence" from the instructor, everyone present shut their mouths obediently, and then I was surprised to see that "peer" who had been ignored until now spoke up, and Captain Eric just stood beside her respectfully.

"I am Mary Mia, the 15th head of the Survey Corps." She calmly stated the fact that shocked most of the people present. The same expression did not change.

I don't know how to describe my current mood, but I just feel that the world view I have established all along is falling apart a little bit. For a while, I can't believe that the girl in front of me is not so immature, but she can't match the maturity at all. The head of the Survey Corps doesn't seem to have any deterrent power at all!

"Don't be fooled by the superficial shell. Your grandfather was not even born when I became the head of the regiment." Her explanation was simple and scribbled, but it was also a metaphor that was reminiscent enough. He stepped into the topic without delay: "The death rate of the Survey Corps is very high. I dare say that [-]% of the people who decide to join the Survey Corps today will die in the mouth of giants. If they know it and insist on fighting for human freedom , and those who have the awareness to face their companions at any time or who will sacrifice themselves suddenly can stay, and the rest are disbanded."

After hearing such harsh words, even I, who had always aspired to join the Survey Corps, was shaken for a moment, let alone other people. Can this really recruit people?Looking at the crowds of people leaving around me, I couldn't help but lose my impression of the seemingly rigid regiment leader in front of me.

Captain Eric probably felt that this was not a good thing. He lowered his head and said something softly to her, but she just shook her head after hearing this, and then raised her hand and knocked Captain Eric in a displeased manner. He turned his head and scolded him by the way, and the usually majestic Captain Eric nodded like a child who did something wrong in an instant.

In the end, there were only a dozen or so scattered people left, and even I couldn't help but sighed helplessly at the desolate scene. I focused on Captain Mary, who had been unsmiling before, and hoped that she would be as I expected. I always like to see people like this deflated.

But things were not as I imagined, she showed a smile without any warning, and said sincerely: "Then we are companions from now on, please trust me, I will believe it unconditionally you."

I was stunned for a moment, then lowered my head in embarrassment, I could feel her eyes sweeping over me, which made my cheeks feel a little hot because of shame, and I suddenly felt that I was childish in thinking that way before To the extent that it cannot be added, she is probably not as bad as I imagined.

I didn't have much chance to meet her in the training regiment branch in the future. I heard from the seniors that she would often stay in the headquarters, or spend several days going outside the wall to inspect the terrain, and then formulate the route and plan for the expedition. Combat plan, rarely have time to branch to check the situation.

I don’t know if it’s because I seldom see each other. For many of my questions, such as “Why did she still maintain this appearance in the past 100 years?” Even the seniors said they were not very clear. The only answer I got That is, "The leader is not an ordinary human being." What kind of answer is this?

So I was puzzled and asked Captain Eric this question that troubled me so much that I couldn't sleep. He seemed to be a rare insider, but after he watched me silent for a while, he just reminded me seriously: "About Mary The matter of the regiment commander is not something that you, a recruit, should be involved in. Your top priority now is to think carefully about how to survive the expedition in the near future."

Only then did I suddenly realize that in the past few days, my mind was full of the head's business, and I almost ignored the most important issue.

I must first make sure that I can survive the giant's hands safely, only in this way can I learn more about what I want to know.

However, I found that I seemed to overestimate myself. I couldn't wait countless times to stand in front of the giants as soon as possible and fight against them like the invincible heroes depicted in the books, but the reality made me I couldn't stop trembling, especially the night before the expedition.

I think I was afraid, afraid of the death that I might meet. I began to wonder how I could have such a arduous ambition with such confidence, and even thought that I would be invincible. I have never seen what a giant looks like!

I was so stupid that I slammed my head on the pillow.

So when I fell asleep in fear and had a nightmare of being eaten by giants and limbs, I couldn't sleep anymore.

To put it simply, it is insomnia. This is the worst situation so far. Tomorrow morning is the day of the expedition. I feel more and more anxious about the consequences of lack of sleep, and the more anxious I am, the more I can't sleep. Infinite vicious circle.

I had no choice but to walk out of the room and choose to take a walk in the corridor to relieve my heavy heart, but unexpectedly found Captain Eric and Captain Mary who were talking at a corner.

I don't know why I hid guiltily by the wall at the blind corner of my sight, poking out half my head cautiously to eavesdrop. Anyway, I had already done so before I realized it. It seems that my well-developed limbs are better than simple ones The brain responded one step ahead.

"Eric, how are the kids doing?"

"I have already gone back to my room and fell asleep. Seriously, Captain, there is no need for you to rush back because of this. If I am not wrong, have you been sneaking outside the wall to kill giants since a week ago?" Is it? It’s useless if you don’t admit it, I’ve already asked the people in the headquarters about the time you left.”

I really didn't expect Captain Eric to be so resentful, I couldn't help swallowing, as if I had discovered some important information, my heart couldn't help beating faster, although I was immoral and curious The collision of hearts is really enough to make me tangled.

"Actually, I just stopped by to see if there is any change in the distribution of giants. Eric, I think it is necessary for me to come back and take a look. You still remember when you first joined the Survey Corps, before you participated in the expedition for the first time. Is it? When I came back, I found you were hiding in the corner of the corridor and crying secretly, saying that you were so afraid of being alone that you wanted to drag me to sleep with you, and you still dragged me and refused to let me go in the middle of the night. "

"Captain Mary! Don't bring up that kind of shit that happened ten years ago!"

"Oh yeah, it still feels like it happened yesterday to me..."

Just when I was obsessed with their conversation and still enjoying it, there was a malicious sneer in my ear, and I said in a bad tone: "Smelly brat, eavesdropping on others is not a good habit."

I was startled and turned around quickly, but there was no one around me. Just as I was comforting myself that it might be an auditory hallucination caused by self-blame after doing something bad, a translucent person suddenly walked out from the wall. Man, he stared at me fiercely for a while before speaking again with interest: "Why, kid, can you see me?"

"Ghost——" I squatted down with my head in my arms, forgetting that I was still eavesdropping, and couldn't help crying out.

"Randall?"

"Mary... Captain... Eric... Captain..." I raised my head tremblingly, and Captain Mary was looking at me suspiciously. I didn't expect that she still remembered my name, and the people beside her Captain Eric obviously had anger written all over his face.

"What are you doing up so late, kid, hiding in the corner?" As if a secret had been revealed, Eric reached out his hand in a rage and roughly pulled me up from the ground. If Mary wasn't there, I would I thought he would punch me without hesitation.

Mary patted Eric on the back and said calmly: "Eric, this is not a serious matter, you don't need to be so angry... Speaking of which, it is already very late now, even you should go to bed Yes, Mr. Captain."

"But..." Eric glanced at me and obviously wanted to argue.

"Go to sleep." Mary repeated again, obviously she looked about the same age as me, but she didn't feel any disobedience when ordering Captain Eric who was an adult.

"...Yes." Eric sighed helplessly, and when he passed by me, he patted my head vigorously and said, "After the expedition is over, I think we can have a good discussion together, about how to let you Forget what I heard today." I rubbed the top of my head that was sore from being patted, and I seemed to have successfully angered my boss.

"Randall, are you still up so late?" Mary asked with some concern.

I looked around vigilantly, and there was no trace of the ghost with fierce eyes just now, but I always felt frizzy in my heart, so I faltered and said, "I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk." Unexpectedly But I encountered something that made me unable to sleep even more. It was like retribution for eavesdropping.

"That's it." She nodded knowingly, and then I looked at her flattered and smiled at me tenderly and asked: "If you can't sleep alone, will two people make you feel at ease?"

I was lying on the bed. In other words, I would never have dreamed that the legendary Captain Mary would sit beside my bed and accompany me to sleep. Made me feel extremely at ease.

I resisted the constant drowsiness and refused to close my eyes. There were so many things I wanted to know, and I had to seize this rare opportunity to talk to her.

"Captain Mary, why did you do such a thing? I don't quite understand, you are the commander, and I'm just a new recruit who hasn't been on the battlefield yet." I couldn't restrain my curiosity and asked, which was different from her My first impression before was really different. I thought he was an unkind, noble and glamorous annoying guy.

"Huh?" She put down the document in her hand and turned to look at me, as if caught in the memories from the past, she was silent for a moment before slowly opening her mouth: "'Because we are companions', in the first I was also afraid the night before the expedition, but the seniors took good care of us recruits at that time, I asked the same question as you, and one of the seniors answered me like this...he told me about the mortality rate Inheritance is very important for such a high-ranking survey corps, so I also want to pass on the gentleness I felt at that time."

"Mary's...senior?" I can't imagine it at all, because that period of history is too long, it should be the period when the Wall of Mary was first destroyed, and the history books only roughly describe how human beings lived. Bravely took back the walls from the giants, but never said a word about anyone in them.

"Well, excuse me, can you go into a little more detail?" I asked bravely.

"Details?" She slightly opened her bottomless eyes that always looked tired, and for the first time, she showed a surprise that I had never seen before on her rarely expressive face, and then asked me happily: "What do you think?" Interested in what they do?"

"Yes, because they are all heroes that have not been recorded in detail in history books. Not only their affairs, but also your affairs, Captain Mary. I really want to know your experiences and thoughts in the past 100 years." I simply threw out all the things that I had never dared to say out loud, and waited anxiously for her reaction.

"I'm not a big deal, but they are all true heroes..." She hesitated to speak, I don't know if it was intentional humility or other reasons, she never explained to me why only Separate herself from them, and she's also a hero to look up to, at least in my opinion.

Then she briefly narrated to me what happened the night before her expedition. She traveled through the limitations of time and space. Two of her best friends, as well as a senior he admired, but there was one of them that she always used the title "he" instead.

"Who is 'he'? Although you let Captain Mary sleep on the floor, you are a good person, right?" Although I said so, I still feel that men who let women sleep on the floor and sleep on their own beds are too bad. It's time to relax, but it's not difficult to hear from Captain Mary's description that even she herself enjoys it...

"He is a hero who can never disgrace the title of 'the strongest human being' in all aspects." Mary looked out of the dark window with her back turned to me. These words were heavy enough to cost her all. It takes the strength to speak the same.

"'Humanity is the strongest'? Isn't this title used to describe you, Commander Mary?" I blurted out without thinking, but I immediately regretted it. Although it was only a fleeting moment, I did capture something. There was a moment when she looked really sad, and I felt a huge sense of self-blame.

"Ah... that was a long, long time ago. You are still a child. It's not surprising even if you don't know it. Maybe everyone except me has already forgotten it, but that's good. He can finally get rid of this bondage." .” Mary comforted me indifferently, as if she wanted me not to pay too much attention.

Then she continued to explain: "But Randall, I am not strong. Anyone who has lived as long as me can reach the level I am now. I have never been able to reach this title. Until now, I am just Just following in Levi's footsteps..."

In my eyes, Captain Mary is strong enough to the point that I will never be able to reach it. I didn’t expect that even she has followers. I am eager to know the name "Levi" that no one knows now. What kind of status and symbol was the name in people's minds a hundred years ago.

What kind of shocking story happened in that turbulent era that was not recorded in history books?

I asked Captain Mary to tell me more about herself or that Levi. She had an unconcealable joy on her face, but she still sternly refused: "It's late, you should go to bed Randall, if you really want to know, then survive tomorrow's expedition."

"I will." In order to touch that forgotten history with my own hands, I have never wanted to put myself in your shoes and understand your helplessness and hardships, "I made a promise with you here, I will definitely survive .”

Drowsiness hit me immediately after I closed my eyes, and I seemed to hear her sighing in a daze: "I made an agreement with him in the same way.

The author has something to say: That’s why I said I’ll get you all ready _(:3」∠)_

My brain hole that breaks through the sky... Although I can still enjoy YY now, but if the comics are updated in the future, I will definitely get swollen in the face!

Ai Weier is the 13th generation leader, so there was someone who became the leader after the truth succeeded. Although I often make typos, this is not a typo!

It’s really difficult to try No.1 for the first time, but it’s a little easier not to describe the psychology of people other than the protagonist, and I somehow feel that No.1 is the most appropriate, probably because In this way, although the truth is still the temperament that is too gentle to be cold and noble, it makes me feel more and more strange as I write OTZ

I know that some people must not accept this setting. There are three chapters in this series, and the chapter after the end of the three chapters will go straight to HE. Although some of the contents of these three chapters will be involved by then, basically It still doesn't affect reading, don't ask me how I can read it like this... You must understand!That's right, that stalk! =3=

Seeing that the end is really not far away, in the next few chapters, I will recommend some songs that I listened to while writing the article ww

If the cruel reality separates the two

We will be attracted to each other stronger than that force
