Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

Erwin seems intrigued by Vanessa's plans.

"Just pretend to go to the bathroom and climb out of the ventilation duct, if you don't think it's dirty." With that said, Vanessa came to the desk, picked up a pen and paper and drew a sketch.

Levi felt very strange, "How do you know such details?"

Vanessa rubbed her forehead with unbearable memories of the past, "It's not the first time I want to run away from home, so I often make plans and step on the spot to kill time."

"But Dai'er has just recovered, and she may not have the strength to climb up the high ventilation pipe." Levi worried.

"It's okay, there are tables and chairs inside that can be used to tiptoe." Vanessa replied.

"There are tables and chairs in the bathroom? Do you nobles like to sit in it and drink tea while waiting for others to go to the bathroom?"

"Girls' dresses are very complicated. When you go to the bathroom, you need a servant to help you take them off, and you may need to touch up your makeup. Of course, you have to sit down and rest."

"That's the end of the debate." Erwin looked at Vanessa's drawing and nodded, "This plan is feasible, but where will you hide after you rescue him?"

"Does the Survey Corps have temporary shelters, safe houses, etc. in the wild?"

"No." Erwin thought about it carefully, "However, maybe Dai'er can be hidden in the old Survey Corps headquarters, which has been abandoned for many years, and no one should go there for the time being."

"That's the only way to go," Levi said almost without thinking.

"Wait!" Erwin raised his hand in a pause gesture, "How should we let Del know our plan?"

"It's simple, just ask Del to dance." Vanessa suggested, she looked at Levi with 'bad intentions', she was used to seeing him chopping up giants, so she wondered how good ballroom dancing was?

exercise (1)

There is usually a dance floor in the center of the banquet hall, and dancing is also a way of socializing among nobles.Servants are not allowed to dance on the dance floor, so if you invite Dill to the center of the dance floor, it will be difficult for others to hear their conversation, and the music can drown out their voices.The other nobles would not get too close to them during the dance out of politeness, so it was a good choice to tell Daile the plan while dancing.

"Dancing?" Levi has also seen those dazzling ballroom dances. It seems that as long as they change a song, they will change their dance steps.

Vanessa smiled and asked the frowning Levi: "Captain Levi, do you need me to teach you how to dance?"

Erwin also recommended himself with confidence: "Levi, I actually know a thing or two about ballroom dancing. If you don't mind, I can also..."

"Wait a minute." Levi interrupted Erwin, "I've never heard that Dale kid can dance."

"Ballroom dancing is a compulsory course for nobles. In order not to embarrass the family, Niobe will definitely give Dier corresponding training." Vanessa said.

After dinner, most of the soldiers went back to the dormitory to take a shower and get ready for bed, while Levi and Vanessa came to the commander's office, and the new round of ballroom dancing classes officially started.

Vanessa deliberately put on a pair of glasses without prescription, and explained solemnly: "The ballroom dancing of nobles looks complicated, but in fact it can be roughly divided into three categories. The soundtrack style of each type of dance steps is different, so dancing When listening to music, you just need to hear clearly what type of music it is, and then follow the rhythm and take the corresponding steps.”

Immediately, Vanessa quickly demonstrated the basic dance steps of men, and Levi could basically reproduce Vanessa's movements after watching it once.Although it's a little rusty and out of rhythm, Levi is a quick learner compared to the average person.

"Next, Captain Irwin and I will demonstrate the dance process during the banquet." Vanessa walked to the sofa and sat down, "Captain Erwin, you pretend to be Captain Levi, I Pretend to be Del, now please come and ask me to dance."

Erwin nodded, and walked up to Vanessa a few steps under Levi's gaze, with his left hand behind his back, and while stretching out his right hand, he bent down and looked at Vanessa, "Miss Morrison, can you dance with me for a while?" song?"

"Extremely happy." Vanessa held Erwin's hand and stood up. The two came to the open space of the office. After getting ready, Vanessa said, "The music begins."

At this time, although Vanessa didn't read the beat, she and Erwin knew exactly what to do next, and walked around the office several times without knowing it.As long as you watch their dance steps, the corresponding dance music seems to ring in your ears.

"You guys had a good time, didn't you…" Levi called them off.

"Sorry, after all, a dance lasts at least seven or eight minutes." Vanessa cleared her throat, "The music is over."

So, Erwin and Vanessa let go at the same time, stepped back two steps away from each other and stood facing each other, nodding lightly to each other.

"This is the end." Vanessa asked, "Captain Levi, do you remember?"

"Tsk...probably."

In the next few days, in addition to directing movements and beats, Vanessa will also practice with Levi as a dance partner.But being stared at by Levi's dead fish eyes, Vanessa always felt very uncomfortable, "Captain Levi, I washed my hands, can you stop looking at me like this?"

Levi doesn't know what kind of eyes he has now, but he is really not hostile, "It's just that you have a guilty conscience."

Although Levi can make the right moves while Vanessa is reciting the beat, it is still far from 'actual combat'.

"I think it is necessary to listen to the music again. It is up to you to judge the classification of the music, and then make the correct response." Vanessa said to Levi.

But everyone knows well, how can there be musical instruments in the investigation corps to accompany them?

With a flash of inspiration, Erwin thought of a way.

exercise (2)

Two days later, Erwin came to an acquaintance's house with Levi in ​​a black suit and Vanessa in a brown wig and black-rimmed glasses.

"It's me, Nelle," Erwin said through the open door.

The head of the gendarmerie, Neil, looked at Erwin as if he was guarding against a thief, but he politely invited them into the house, "Come in, Mary is not here today."

'Mary should be the wife of the head of the division, right? ' thought Vanessa.

"Excuse me, but the Survey Corps really doesn't have any musical instruments to play," Erwin explained.

After several people entered the door, a five or six-year-old girl ran out from the inner room, holding in her hand the 'soft soldier' ​​that Nair had asked Erwin to buy through the back door.The little girl ran straight to Levi, raised the 'soft soldier' ​​in her hand and asked, "Are you Captain Levi himself?"

Neil is about to crack, and now he really wants to dig a hole in there, but his own child actually handed the doll to Levi himself, where does this make his old face go?Just when Neil didn't know how to relieve the embarrassment, Levi urged without any expression change: "The doll needs to be cleaned frequently, and it should be dried in the sun frequently to keep it clean."

The little girl nodded earnestly, "Sure enough, it's just like what dad said, he's a short, clean freak uncle, Captain Levi himself is right."

The little girl's childish words caused Vanessa to hold back her laughter so hard that her lips were almost bleeding from being bitten.

Levi patted the top of the little girl's head, turned his head and gouged Nell 'kindly'.Nair pretended to be relaxed by the door and looked up at the ceiling, "The weather is fine today."

The little girl giggled and went back to her room with the 'soft soldier' ​​in her arms.

"Without further ado, let's get started," Levi said to Vanessa.He's not in the mood to get angry right now.

"Little Mary, you scared Dad to death..." Seeing that Levi didn't pursue it, Neil's whole body softened immediately.

Vanessa walked to the piano at Neil's house, turned around and bowed to Neil, "I'm sorry."

Neil nodded in agreement, before Vanessa sat down, stroked the piano with her fingers, tapped the keys to test the sound, and when she was ready, she said to Levi: "Let's do listening training first."

After playing a few pieces of dance music at random, Levi can immediately respond to which type of dance steps it corresponds to, which shows that he has mastered the most basic skills, and then the next step is actual combat training, but it's a bit strange to have no partner facing the air.

Suddenly, the little girl in the room ran out, "I have heard the dance music just now, and I can dance." The little girl volunteered to hold Levi's hand, "Captain Levi, let me be your dance partner .”

"Please." Levi replied with a serious tone, but his eyes were obviously not so sharp.

Vanessa smiled knowingly, moved her knuckles, and took a deep breath. The beautiful and lively melody jumped out from her fingers, and each note was so energetic.

Erwin and Neir leaned side by side against a wall, and Neir quietly asked Erwin, "This is the piano teacher you hired? Can she teach my daughter to play the piano?"

"Sorry, this teacher is very busy." Erwin evaded.The reason why Vanessa was dressed in disguise was to prevent others from knowing her true identity.The piano is a very expensive instrument, and few people can play it unless they are rich, aristocratic or musicians.

The music was slow and fast, and the little girl held Levi's hand, skillfully changing the pace and rhythm, and bluntly pointed out Levi's mistakes in movements, just like a little teacher.

Levi, the strongest soldier of mankind, was stunned speechless by a little girl. This wonderful scene is rare in his lifetime.

Erwin boasted to Neir: "Little Mary is also very good, she can already dance such a complicated ballroom dance at such a young age."

Nair said proudly, "Of course." Then he felt that that answer seemed immodest, "It's just a must for the upper class.
