Elevator Dimension Line

Watching Sasha leave in a hurry, Eren looked at Mikasa, who then told him what she had seen and what she had heard from Sasha.

As Mikasa recounted the story, Eren's memories of transforming into a Titan seemed to gradually become clearer.

Raising his hands and looking at his palms, Eren could hardly believe that he had transformed into a Titan and fought against other Titans. But the increasingly clear memories told him that this was real.

A scene from his childhood suddenly flashed through Allen's mind: his father, before leaving, tearfully gave him an injection, saying strange things like, "You'll understand later... Don't blame him... This is their fate..." and so on.

"Allen, are you feeling better? Is there anything bothering you?"

Seeing Eren sitting there blankly again, Mikasa cautiously asked him.

Allen snapped out of his daze, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine. By the way, how's the Trost District doing now?"

"The city has been occupied by Titans. Everyone is temporarily moved to the garrison base behind Wall Rose..." Mikasa briefly stated the orders.

“Then we need to get there as soon as possible…” Allen said, jumping off the bed.

“Eren, that guy named Tantai Ye just now has already made us join their Divine Court Cult!” Mikasa said.

"What? Join the Divine Court? Us?" Allen was stunned for a moment, about to speak.

The door opened again, and Sasha waved to the two of them with a smile.

"Dinner is ready. I've come to call you to eat. Hurry up, we're waiting for you."

The two followed Sasha to the restaurant.

A long table was laden with various foods, and several pretty maids dressed in maid outfits were busily working around it.

On either side of the table sat Eren and Tantai Ye, whom Mikasa had met before.

"Come on, sit down quickly," Tantai Ye said with a smile, sitting in the main seat. "Allen, you've used up a lot of energy, you must be starving now. You need to eat well later to replenish your strength."

Guided by the maid, Eren and Mikasa sat down at the dining table, still feeling dizzy.

Looking at the dazzling array of food before them, some familiar and some unfamiliar, the two were somewhat at a loss.

However, the hunger pangs in my stomach were real.

Two maids placed steaming hot grilled steaks on their plates and drizzled them with tempting sauce... knives and forks were placed right next to them!

Eren and Mikasa exchanged a glance. Although they were very tempted, they resisted and looked at Tantai Ye.

"Let's talk after we finish eating!" Tantai Ye raised her hand to interrupt, and then made a gesture of invitation with a smile.

"Eat up, eat up! This food is so good, you have to finish it all!" Sasha said to the two of them as she sat down beside them and started eating.

Sitting opposite the two, Yuzuriha Inori chuckled and said, "Don't be so confused. If you have anything important to ask, you should eat your fill first."

Eren and Mikasa didn't mince words. After nodding, they picked up their knives and forks and began to enjoy the food in front of them.

This meal was arguably the best they had ever eaten in their lives.

After the meal, the maid began to clear the table, while Tantai Ye gestured for the two of them to enter the living room.

"Alright, now we can talk things out slowly!" Tantai Ye said, sitting on the sofa.

Allen paused for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts, before speaking.

"Um, thank you in advance for letting us enjoy the delicious food..."

Tantai Ye waved her hand dismissively, seemingly unconcerned.

"...Mikasa said that you want us to join the Divine Court, is that right?"

"Yes!" Tantai Ye nodded.

"Can you tell me why? There are plenty of soldiers who are better than us, why us?" Allen asked.

“What’s there to say?” Tantai laughed. “Someone has to join first, right? In the future, there will only be more and more people in our Divine Court Sect. You’re just joining a little earlier!”

Allen clearly didn't believe that, and frowned slightly as he said, "What if we don't join? As for the Divine Court... I still prefer to be a soldier in the Survey Corps!"

“You had no choice. From the moment we brought you back, you became a member of our Divine Court…”

Eren frowned at Tantai Ye's words and was about to refuse, but Tantai Ye raised her hand to stop her, continuing, "Actually, there is a reason for forcing you to join, which is your identity as an Attack Titan. I believe I understand that now. I've sorted through those memories for you, and you should be able to recall your father..."

"Let's not talk about that," Tantai Ye waved her hand, then flicked her wrist to light a slender ladies' cigar, took a puff, and said, "I took a liking to you because of your Titan identity. To be honest, I need to do some research on you, so I brought you into our group. Actually, this is for your own good... Your purpose in joining the Survey Corps is nothing more than killing Titans, avenging your mother, or changing the world. We can help you do the same things, so why do you insist on joining the Survey Corps?"

"You, how did you know I did this for my mother..." Allen asked in surprise.

Tantai Ye pointed to his head and laughed, "You have no secrets from me. If I want, I can see the memories of each of you."

Tantai Ye's words caused Eren and Mikasa to exchange a shocked glance.

"Since you saw that I can transform into a giant, and you still took me in, aren't you afraid...?"

"What are you afraid of? Afraid that you'll transform into a Titan and threaten me?" Tantai Ye chuckled and pointed to the other women sitting in the living room. "Any one of them could easily kill a Titan. The threats to you are nothing to them. If we wanted to, we could wipe out all the Titans that have invaded Trost District right now."

"Then why are you still here?" Allen asked.

“The time is not right,” Tantai Ye said with a smile. “No one will cherish an easy victory, but only by helping when people need it most can they know your importance.”

"So, you're waiting!"

"Correct!"

After finishing speaking, Tantai Ye stubbed out the nearly finished cigar in the ashtray.

"Alright, I've explained enough to you. You're still a teenager, and there are many things you don't fully understand. Right now, you just need to understand one thing: you and your girlfriend Mikasa are already members of our Divine Court. Sasha will tell you the specifics of how to do it later. Stay here tonight!"

The word "girlfriend" silenced Eren, and Mikasa blushed.

The two were clearly family, but were suddenly labeled as a couple, which completely threw the young boy and girl into disarray.
