Only you are irreplaceable

"Mikasa, Mikasa."

"Ah, team leader." Facing Aurora who was close at hand, Mikasa's breath stagnated nervously, and she subconsciously shrank back.

"Be careful!" Aurora hurriedly put her hands on the cold stone wall, "Why are you absent-minded?"

The back of his head was covered with warmth, Mikasa moved a few times awkwardly, and said, "...I'm thinking about the meeting in the afternoon."

"What? Do you feel that Qingmei is using you as an excuse and is not in a good mood?" Aurora patted the ashes on her hands, and sat down next to Mikasa.

"No, I didn't think they would treat me sincerely. It's just that when Historia said that she was willing to inherit the beast giant, Ymir's face was very bad." Mikasa understood that Qingmei was just rushing for the island's resources, and she This legacy of blood is nothing more than a high-sounding excuse.

"Well, I remember you passed your pilot's test?"

"Yes." Mikasa replied, "Why did the team leader suddenly ask this?"

Aurora shook her head with a smile, and said, "It's okay, don't worry so much, we won't really let the Queen do this."

In the past two years, they have been acting as the obedient and obedient silly Baitian.Almost whatever Irene said, they did.Two years ago, when she proposed to improve the military equipment, they followed suit and set up a factory in the capital.Building ports, establishing diplomacy, and reorganizing the army were originally planned by them early on.But with her guidance, I even avoided a lot of detours.No matter how strong Claire is, she still can't cover everything. Irena still helped a lot unintentionally.

It's just a pity that no matter how she strategizes, she can't compare to Alvin sitting in the king's capital.

Until now, the Marais still think that Claire is an ordinary military doctor, and Aurora is just a non-commissioned officer with a high force value.

"I heard from Claire that you often have headaches?"

"Yes. It's been a problem since I was a child. Fortunately, the painkillers are very helpful."

"Pay more attention to your body." The neat short hair hangs down on the side of the girl's face, half of her face is sunken in the red scarf, she looks very cute.Aurora couldn't help but sigh with emotion, they've all grown up.Especially those kids, they were growing too fast.In a trance, I thought that they just joined the regiment yesterday, and they still looked young and immature in front of them. Today, they are already soldiers who can stand on their own.

The two sat side by side, silent for a long time.Aurora was very patient, waiting quietly with the bleak autumn wind blowing.Mikasa has an introverted and slow personality, and it takes a long time to decide on something. Toyumir told her to find her alone this time.

"Captain, how long have you been with the captain?"

Sure enough, it was a relationship problem. Aurora looked at Mikasa who was blushing like a pomegranate with an expression that I knew. "We were together in 845, and it has been the seventh year now."

"I was surprised when I first found out that the two were lovers. At that time, I had some opinions on the captain..." It has been more than two years since I joined Li Weiban, and I get along every day, and the early prejudice against the captain has disappeared. .Especially after knowing that the two belong to a big family, there will be some ties of relatives in them.

Hearing that Mikasa said that he had a problem with Levi, Aurora took it very seriously.Well, her family's Lao Li's character is not amiable, "Levi, he looks like a black-faced Hades, but he is actually very soft in his heart. The situation of the Survey Corps in the past was not like it is now. We were few and were not taken seriously. At that time, Alvin often had a headache because of insufficient funds for investigations outside the wall, and my ability was not as strong as it is now. Therefore, I still witnessed the departure of many people. At that time, I would be afraid every time I went to war. War is impermanent, maybe I will sacrifice it one day... But fortunately, everything is getting better now." When mentioning the past, Aurora was a little dazed, she has lived here for so many years.

The sky is cloudless tonight, and the tiny rays of light are dotted on the dark blue canvas, merging into a river of stars little by little, gently surrounding a crescent moon, extremely peaceful.After being silent for a while, Aurora thought that the ultimate goal of tonight was to get rid of Mikasa, so she asked directly: "Mikasa, you and Alan, when are you going to clear the sky after the rain?"

"what…"

"I…"

"No…"

Mikasa stuttered and couldn't even utter a normal sentence, Aurora waited and watched with folded arms, and finally the girl was defeated, her face was so red that it almost merged with the scarf.

After struggling for half a minute, she said weakly: "I... dare not..."

"Why not? Are you afraid that Allen won't like you?"

"I have no idea."

"Mikasa, have you noticed any changes in yourself?"

"Huh?" Mikasa raised her head, change?What changes in her?

"During the offensive and defensive battle in the Toros District, the recruits were all trembling with fear. Only you came to me to join the team to protect Alan. Because Levi beat Alan in the military court, the two of you disliked each other a few times It’s been nearly a year. When the two of Reiner revealed their identities, and everything behind it, you only have Alan in your eyes. Of course Almin is also your family, but it only accounts for a small part. Alan’s safety even overrides Your moral standard is above, as long as Alan is safe, I think you can do a lot of things. Others may think that you have given Alan too much care and protection. But on this point, I can understand you very well. Thought you would always be like this, but some time ago you went to Claire to sign up for pilot selection. I was surprised, this is the first time I have seen you make a decision of your own will, although it is a small step, it is enough to prove that you started Accept new knowledge and information. Other things seem to be flowing into your world. You are making great strides on the road of making yourself better, and now you are a different person than you were two years ago."

Mikasa was stunned, these words had never been said so directly.She is used to protecting people who hold her hand and say they want to go home together when she has nothing.She promised her aunt that she and Alan would take care of each other.They're family, and they're meant to be together forever.

The world is cruel, and she has been well aware of this since she was a child, but before her parents had an accident, she had always ignored the natural law of the weak and the strong.This soft red scarf encircled her heart, and from then on, it was so full that there was only room for that one person.

When did it start to change?Maybe it's Claire's presence.Claire once said that in the face of modern military, giants will lose their right to rule.Even if the ground song is launched, it cannot threaten the powerful country of her era.

Waking up in the middle of the night countless times, she hoped that all this was just a long dream that had not woken up for a long time.It's a pity that no matter how much she hypnotizes herself, she still lives in this real and hopeless world.

There is no blood or corpses, and the sun rises and the sun sets with the family, and the years are quiet.She wants this day to come sooner, so she has to do her best to do what she can.Claire said that flying in the vast sky can feel boundless freedom.

Would that be the same kind of freedom as Allen said?

She doesn't know, but she wants to try.

It's just that she still can't see through Allen.

"Squad leader..." Mikasa raised her head hesitantly, Aurora seldom saw a "melancholy" expression on Mikasa's face, but at this moment, she was obviously very sad, her brows were tightly knit, and her dark eyes were full of tears. It is sorrow.

"Obviously close at hand, as long as I stretch out my hand, I can touch it, but I always feel that there is a transparent barrier between me and Alan. He used to be impulsive, but now he is getting quieter... so quiet that I am a little scared There seems to be a secret between us. I don't understand or guess what he thinks in his heart. I am very afraid that such Alan will really leave me one day..."

"Don't be silly, he won't." Aurora replied firmly.

"Really?" Mikasa was very pleasantly surprised. Allen would go to the sub-captain for psychological counseling every month. This is something everyone knows.She wouldn't ask the squad leader, Alan, what he was hiding.She just needed a word to calm her down.

"Well, trust me." Aurora patted the girl's hand, obviously not telling Mikasa before the dust settled, and it's best not to even reveal whether Alan has the same feelings as her.But, she is always a soft-hearted person.

I hope Mikasa can wait until it's all over.

At that time, let Alan explain by himself. She wants to prepare melon seeds and squat next to watch the show, but she is not responsible for coaxing her girlfriend.

The days are fairly peaceful, and everyone is working hard in their respective positions.After the construction of the seaside port was completed, the large troops withdrew to the Toros District.Anyway, it is also the first large-scale port to be completed on the island, but it is a pity that only people who have gone abroad have been welcomed there.Afterwards, most of the Marais soldiers worked in the factories of the capital. Their scope of action was very small, and they had little chance to contact the people outside.Nicolo opened a restaurant inside the wall with Alvin's permission, and many retired veterans stayed and worked there.

Irena and Ouliang Guopeng often come to the capital to visit the factory and drink with Pixis under the condition that the Aurora team seems to be accompanied but actually supervised.

Irena sat on the return carriage, raised her eyelids and glanced at Aurora across the way.She has been on the island for nearly three years, but she has never seen Aurora do anything.Looks very delicate and thin, can it really have such great power?So much so that Jake mentioned it several times after returning to Marais.

For some reason, she always felt that something was wrong.This weird intuition has been haunting my mind for a long time.However, they are all right.What was produced in the factory was the weapon map she gave, and Parade Island also tried to establish diplomacy with the Sunrise Nation and agreed to her plan.In a private meeting with Allen a few days ago, Allen also expressed his support for Jake.She lives in Torost. Because this area has been slaughtered by giants before, the city construction is not very good.But the civilians are optimistic and positive, and she often talks to them.

Yes, her efforts were not in vain.Just wait, Jake's plan will come true.

As soon as they entered the city gate, when the two got off the carriage, Ouliang Guopeng trotted over with a letter: "Aurora, Han Ji asked me to give it to you."

"Okay, thank you."

After seeing Aurora's letter, they found that their plan to establish diplomacy with other countries through the channel of the Sunrise Kingdom also fell through.The specific reason is unknown, probably because of the ice blast stone.Sunrise Country is short of resources, so naturally it wants to monopolize all the supplies on the island.The attitudes of other countries towards the island are even more ambiguous. After all, they are still afraid of giants.

In this matter, she is on the same side as Alvin and Claire. The Eldians will not be forgiven by the world. As long as they can still become giants, peace talks are impossible.

However, Han Ji and Al Zhang communicated more with the outside world, hoping to reach a reconciliation and eliminate prejudice, so that everyone can be happy.

In recent years, they have also tried hard to let the outside world hear their voices, but the results have not been satisfactory.

Sunrise Country's refusal is reasonable. After the road is blocked, you have to go out and see the outside world yourself.

Aurora received the letter and stepped forward: "Irena, find a way to help us sneak into Marais."

The two factions agreed to go to Marais with the principles of neutrality and rationality. If the information obtained after the investigation is still that everyone on the island deserves to die, they will go home and prepare for the war, so that those who hate them will have a good experience. Fan.If there is hope for peace talks, they will try their best to try.

Here, Aurora just wants to pray to God, thank God for allowing Claire to come into this world.Otherwise, she alone would never be able to change the island so much in just a few years.The power of science and technology has injected real vitality into the island, and the technological life that is a hundred years behind has made her come back and surpass it by a lot.If it weren't for her, Erwin would not have agreed to the peace Hanji advocated, after all, Claire had a bunch of awesome weapons as his backing.

"This matter has to be discussed with Ms. Qingmei, and I will give you news within three days." After finishing speaking, Irena entered her residence.

Aurora: "Ouliang Guopeng, do you know where Han Ji went?"

"She and Levi rode to the railway side." Ou Liangguo Peng replied.

"Okay, thank you."

She rode a horse and searched all the way there, but she didn't find Hanji and Levi, but she found Issue 104, which was nestled on the train and chugs along slowly.

Aurora remembered that the sunset was beautiful that day.As if fiery red, the huge red sun fell little by little at the end of the coastline, turning the entire azure blue into bright gold.

The light fell on everyone's face, very warm.

Later, the atmosphere on the train was a bit complicated, but she had already gone far away at that time, and she could only vaguely hear Jean muttering something in a low voice.In the end, everyone was silent, and what was left were many heartbeats like beating drums, pounding into her ears one after another.

She turned her head and looked at the 104 issues sitting in the cargo box, and couldn't help laughing.

If it's the setting sun, then there's nothing I can do about it.
