[Attack on Titan] Liar

☆、Episode07. Mirror flower

?*

"Flowers in the mirror, moon in the water."

"Never owned either."

"Naturally, you don't have to worry about losing it."

Gee.

Listening to the noise coming from downstairs, Levi pressed his temple, trying to restrain his irritable heart.

The reason, no doubt, was that guy again.

Olivia Lannister.

After the ball, a certain person's identity was exposed, but his behavior became more relaxed. For several days, a large amount of supplies were sent to the headquarters of the Survey Corps under the name of "Lannister".

He didn't know the specific situation, but no matter how much Elvin Smith took, it had nothing to do with him—he wasn't responsible for the supplies, and she shouldn't have anything to do with him.

God should have no desires, and no desires make you strong.

That's what she used to say too.

But she still came every day, and every time she just got off the carriage and looked in the direction of his office, Shi Shiran left after all the goods in the carriage were unloaded.

It was as if he had never been expected to appear.

He could see her appearance clearly through the window, but after just one glance, he no longer wanted to look at her again.

No longer the black coat, the complicated skirt, and the piercing smile on her face as "Miss Reporter", she no longer hides her identity, and she is no longer Olivia Judd.

As for Olivia Lannister, Levi just met once.

He also only admitted that he knew Olivia Judd.

"Soldier, that..."

"I've already said, there's no need to pass on what that guy wants to see." Hearing the extremely hesitant words outside the door, Levi quickly interrupted.

"No...actually..."

"Let me talk to Levi, Alicia, step back first." Erwin Smith's voice, and soon, the door was pushed open by him.

He just glanced at him and then looked away. He wasn't in the mood to say hello to him today.

Not paying attention to his attitude, Erwin casually pulled away the chair in front of him: "Your state doesn't seem right recently."

Still no answer.

"The superior's plan to retake the 'Wall of Maria' has been formally proposed, and it is probably led by the survey corps."

"...Are those people above really crazy?" Levi finally spoke, his face was terribly dark.

The Mary's Wall Recapture Project, which sounds like such a high-sounding name, is actually just a means of eliminating the population due to insufficient food supply.

That is, they are responsible for sending them to their deaths.

... Are you kidding me? !

He has always thought that such a crazy idea is unlikely to be supported by a large number of people, but is he still overestimating human beings?

"It's okay to sacrifice a few people for the survival of the many people like this, Levi, we have to obey."

He didn't answer, just looked at the person in front of him coldly.

After a stalemate for a long time, Erwin chose to give in: "Ah, Miss Lannister seems to have proposed in front of His Majesty the idea of ​​allowing the Survey Corps to choose some of them to become soldiers... I somehow persuaded the Duchess, no accidents. will be passed."

Levi was stunned. In this case, it would more or less give them more chances to survive, but that guy, would she really care about the life and death of these people?

"Tell me this, what do you want to say?" Quickly regaining consciousness, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the leader in front of him, "It seems that your words were different a few days ago?"

"Cough." He coughed a little uncomfortably, "But if you can bring her to our side, it will be very convenient."

"...How many things did she send to decide to sell me?"

"Ah...this..." Erwin's eyes wandered a little, "Probably enough to go out of the city this time."

...Is it enough for so many people to travel this time? !

Levi took another look at the smiling girl standing there outside the window, this guy, after all...

"Levi, did you know each other before?"

Erwin's voice came from behind him, and he quietly glanced at the girl standing there again, and at that moment she raised her head as if feeling something, and when her eyes met, she showed a faint smile, and He just turned away and drew the curtains.

He said, "Probably."

After that, Olivia never showed up again, probably because his almost absurd behavior was stopped by his family a few days ago, and he couldn't say what he thought about her, but he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

If this continues, he doesn't know if he can still hold on.

About three weeks later, all the preparations were ready, and they could go out the next day, and the survey corps was given a day off from top to bottom, and he was no exception.

After wandering around the street a few times, he almost subconsciously walked towards the underground street. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was his root and never changed.

Walking towards the original house, it was not occupied by anyone, in fact he hasn't been here for a long time since he left.

Maybe it's a fear of being emotional.

As soon as the door was opened, layers of dust hit the face, which was a disaster for patients with severe cleanliness.

It was already night when it was completely cleaned up. He had bought bread long before he came here, lit the lamp and held the book stand in front of him. He suddenly felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to the past.

I have never been out of the wall, and the two little friends around me are noisy, but there is a strange sense of peace of mind.

I don't know when the windows have been slapped by rain again and again, and the rain is falling heavily, as if the whole world is only the sound of raindrops.

He stared fixedly at the window. The book hadn't been turned for a long time. The figure in the rain outside the window was very familiar, but it definitely shouldn't appear here.

He forced himself to turn his head away, but found that he could only stare at the book in his hand in a daze.

And the scene of that glance just now came to mind again, in the heavy rain, she was dressed in black and held a black umbrella, standing there like that, motionless.

He didn't come forward to knock on the door, so that he could simply reprimand him, and he didn't leave, so that he could act as if nothing happened.

Sly enough indeed, that guy.

He was naturally not curious how she knew, after all his origin was never a secret, but why did she show up, and he shouldn't have seen her in the first place.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the figure almost disappeared in the darkness, but it didn't leave.

Thunder rumbled, and Levi slammed the book shut, and lightning flashed across her face, her face was pale, her impulse could no longer be restrained, and she quickly picked up an umbrella next to her and rushed out.

Walking in front of her quickly, she looked at him and suddenly smiled.

Maybe it was because she was shivering from the cold, or maybe it was because her voice was already hoarse. He looked at her with a smile that was too empty, as if it would be blown away by the wind in the next second.

She said, you are here.

The rain beat against the umbrella, he looked at her precarious figure, and inadvertently frowned: "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I don't know. What I want to say is to pursue romance, right? It's like a plot where you can die if you ask for a kiss... Doesn't it happen in this kind of weather?"

Still have the energy to joke around.

His frowning eyebrows gradually loosened, and his voice was particularly calm: "And then?"

Olivia opened her mouth, thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind, but she realized that she didn't know what to say.

Obviously there are so many things to say.

But she...

He waited patiently, but only heard her say: "If I say I hope you will no longer be a god, is that okay?"

No longer a god?

"I've never admitted this kind of appellation... Besides, the person who has been looking forward to 'God' so long, isn't it you?"

She suddenly opened her eyes wide, staggered back half a step, and her voice gradually became higher: "Heh, ha, yes, I have been the one who started all this time... Puha, it's really true..."

Speech like crazy.

There was no emotion in those brown pupils.

She shook her hand as if to say goodbye, turned around as if she was drunk, and wanted to leave.

"... What the hell are you..." What's wrong?

He didn't finish, because the man in front of him suddenly fell backwards.

Throwing down the umbrella in his hand in an instant, looking at the guy in his arms who was clearly having a fever, Levi heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately he received it.

Looking up again at the still raining sky, he had the urge to throw the person in his arms to the ground.

The rain fell down his face, and he cursed in a low voice. He felt that he would never do such a stupid thing with her again.

"Wake up."

When Olivia woke up leisurely, she saw Levi sitting there under the light not far away, and his side face was very soft as he was waiting with a book in his arms.

Unfortunately, it's just an illusion.

"You slept for three hours," he closed the book, and then showed a murderous expression, "Then you can say it? What do you want to do like this?"

"Ask for a kiss, probably." She felt that her head was still a little groggy, three hours?No, she has to go back.

Although the bed is so warm.

"It's fine if you don't want to say it." Levi turned his head, "You don't need to tell me."

She wanted to say that he might be able to listen to her, but he couldn't force her. He didn't have that right, after all, he was nothing.

"I just came to say hello, after that I probably won't come here often." She lowered her eyes, and then showed an innocent expression, "Can you give me something to eat, I'm a little hungry."

He looked at her, her eyes didn't dodge in any way, but those brown pupils looked so innocent no matter how they looked.

He stood up, and when he got the bread from the living room and returned to the room, she had disappeared without any accident, as well as the black coat and the umbrella, as if they had never appeared.

Walking to the window, he saw her standing there, staring at her for a long time, then turned around, her movements were crisp and without any trace of nostalgia.

Her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness without a trace.

Maybe never again, he thought.

But it's not bad, after all, there are some things that have never been owned, and there is no need to worry about losing them.

Like begging for a kiss to die, it's just a plot in a novel.
