[Attack on Titan] Amnesia Syndrome

Allen couldn't hide his excitement and ran away. Levi stood where he was, looking at his leaving back thoughtfully, and followed him up.

"Almin, Almin!" When the door was opened, Almin was sitting on the bed and chatting with his partner. Beside the bed, "Quick, lift up your clothes."

"What?" Armin was at a loss.

"I'll wipe off the ointment given by the soldier for you."

"Ugh--"

Jean and Connie sighed inexplicably at the same time.

"Actually, Almin, the captain is still very good, but sometimes he is too strict." Ignoring the two funny people behind him, Allen helped to roll up Almin's clothes, squeezed out ointment and carefully applied it on the swollen abdomen , and then began to rub back and forth with increased force, "It hurts a bit, bear with it."

"Hiss..." Almin frowned, and said with a bitter face, "I shouldn't be distracted."

Connie reprimanded: "That's not the point!"

"?"

"Going distracted and getting caught, that's the last thing you should do!"

Armin froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at, did I say something wrong?" Connie curled his lips, a little dissatisfied with his attitude, "Fortunately, the captain controlled his strength, otherwise you wouldn't be able to lie here properly."

"I agree." Jean agreed aloud, putting his hand on Connie's shoulder, "When Alan was kicked last time, his teeth broke."

"right."

"Hey! You two," Alan, who was implicated innocently, was annoyed, "Why did you bring me in?"

"Because Allen is also very poor, haha."

……

The conversation in the room is still going on, but there is no sound and silence outside the room, like another space, Levi leans against the wall, his slightly parted thin lips let out a soft tut, "Noisy brat."

The night was getting darker, and the soldiers who had been trained and drilled all day long had already fallen asleep.Armin lay on the bed, turned over carefully, and the wooden bed creaked softly.

——The body is very tired, but the mind is extremely clear, and there is no sleepiness at all.

In the pitch-black room, he couldn't see his fingers. He opened his eyes and stared at the front for a moment, his chest was stuffy, and it seemed that there were unknown emotions churning.

It was the sourness and sadness hidden in the depths of the heart that were not noticed by others. Only when the night was quieter would there be a slight change.

During these days, he always had the same dream over and over again.

The unchanging beginning, the lush and towering giant trees, groups of fierce and cruel giants, and Alan who was taken away by the giants and fell into a coma...

……

Mikasa's figure was particularly dexterous in the dense forest, and the distance between him and Almin was opened after only a few ups and downs.

The giant who kidnapped Allen and Mikasa were getting closer and closer. When he leaped high, Mikasa raised his blade and slashed at the back of the giant's neck.

-Success!

Armin was overjoyed, completely oblivious to the giant approaching behind him, and raised his hand to grab him.

It wasn't until the long steel cable stagnated due to gravity, and the whole person sprinted back uncontrollably, that he exclaimed.

The hunting wind blew him so hard that he couldn't even open his eyes, but the huge ferocious face of the giant was already close at hand, and the bloody mouth slowly opened, and the hot breath and the rancid smell of saliva sprayed all over his frightened face.

"Armin—"

Mikasa's anxious shout came from ahead.

He has experienced this feeling of dying more than once, but every time, there is nothing else in his heart except fear.

Are you going to die here...

Armin struggled in vain, but he couldn't stop the approaching death at all. At this critical moment, a whirlwind figure came roaring, the sound of the blade piercing into the flesh was infinitely elongated, and the force holding him suddenly disappeared. The whole person also began to fall uncontrollably, and the feeling of weightlessness spread to every inch of nerves. Before he had time to adapt, his body hit the hard tree, and Gu Lulu fell to the ground.

In the dizzy dizziness, the whole world seemed to be stained with blood.

The slightly out-of-focus pupils vaguely reflected the other party's back-smooth figure, and the green cloak fluttered openly, covering most of the light. Levi flew over and picked him up, and jumped onto the branch very quickly .

Temporarily out of danger, Armin realized belatedly that his whole body was in severe pain.

Levi knelt on the ground and supported him sideways, "Are you still conscious?"

"……Um."

Levi breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Mikasa also rushed over with Allen, Levi helped Armin, and slid forward at high speed with the movement of the steel cable, and rushed out of the giant tree forest not long after, and assembled with the large army.

……

That was the first time Armin noticed that Levi had a faint smell of detergent on his body.

It was also the first time that the two were so close.

But now...

Armin sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes.

"Almin, it feels like you haven't been energetic during this time." At breakfast time, Allen sat beside him with bread, "What happened?"

"Oh?" Armin raised his face, just in time to meet his friend's caring eyes, he was slightly startled, and then laughed, "Maybe it's because he didn't rest."

"Really?" A little skeptical.

"Ok!"

"...Okay." Alan couldn't find anything wrong after looking at it for a long time, so he had to give up. "Today, I have a training session of running [-] kilometers with a load. Let's fill up my stomach."

"So is Ellen."

……

Training such as running [-] kilometers with a load has long been familiar to the survey corps.

All soldiers carried their own equipment and ran extremely easily.

Of course, Armin was not included in this group.

Physical fitness has always been his flaw. Although he has been practicing continuously for the past few years, the gap is not something that can be easily shortened, so at this moment he is still far behind.

what……

Aha……

His panting became more and more rapid, and he tried to calm down his disordered breathing.

Although neither Mikasa nor Allen felt that he was a burden, he didn't want to be in this protected state all the time.

He wants to be strong.

Strong enough to protect those he cares about, strong enough to fight side by side with Mikasa and Allen.

"Almin." Allen, who was running ahead, noticed that he was falling behind, and couldn't help but slow down.Mikasa turned to look at him, with concern in her calm eyes.

— Be their backing.

— rather than a burden.

Armin secretly made up his mind, gritted his teeth and quickened his pace.

……

"Ah...it's finally over."

The training was successfully completed, and everyone got an hour's rest time.

"So tired." Allen Yi wailed and lay down on his back.

Almin's legs were weak from running, and he was half-bending and panting non-stop.

"Replenish some water." Unlike their embarrassment, Mikasa seemed to be a normal person, relaxed as if she just went out and slipped around.

"Mikasa's physical fitness is really good..." Armin sincerely praised.

Just as they were chatting while recovering their strength, Sasha shouted not far away. The half-clothed uniform on weekdays was wrapped tightly for some reason, hiding the mystery of a treasure, "Mikasa, Alan, and Al Min, come here."

The three got up inexplicably and walked towards her.

"What's wrong?"

"I have something good to share with you." Sasha smiled and led them to a remote and uninhabited place. She opened her uniform with a swipe, "Look!"

A string of fertile and oily meat came into view, and the three of them turned pale with shock.

"Sasha, you..."

"What are you pretending in your head? You dare to take this kind of thing. Do you want to go to the cell?!"

Almin was also shocked by her boldness, and stared at the skewered meat for a long time without responding.

……

at the same time.

Levi sat on the office chair with his legs crossed, and was carefully reviewing the documents in his hand. There was a noise coming from the wind, and he frowned. He got up and was about to close the window, but inadvertently saw a blond-haired kid downstairs.

Ok?

The subordinate couldn't help but paused slightly, the position was just right enough to hear what the other party said.

"Ah, really... this is not the first time." Armin rubbed his forehead, only to feel a severe headache, "If you keep doing this, you will be found out!"

"Don't you all want to try it? This is meat, meat!"

Sasha's saliva was about to flow out.

Levi looked away with some disgust, but happened to catch a glimpse of what she was carrying in her hand.

This is……

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Mikasa quickly captured Yu's coldness, she subconsciously looked over, and then... froze.

"Mikasa?" Allen was a little surprised by her reaction, and couldn't help but look up, "What's on it..."

Levi looked down at him with a blank expression on his face.

Allen suffocated, and suddenly had the illusion that his throat was choked and he couldn't breathe.

The two of them remained motionless with their necks up, and the rest of Armin and Sasha couldn't help but feel strange, and then looked up... it was over.

A deadly silence spread silently, and for a while upstairs and downstairs were quiet, only the sound of the wind could be heard.

Armin was also a little at a loss, his eyes met, and he was speechless.

However, what he didn't notice was that when those eyes, which were usually deep and calm, looked at him, there was a flash of light.

pat.

A muffled sound broke the strange atmosphere, and the meat in Sasha's hand fell to the ground.
