[Attack on Titan] Amnesia Syndrome

"No, of course not." Rebutting subconsciously, but not knowing how to continue, Armin hesitated, and said hesitantly: "Well... that, because... because physical fitness has not been able to improve, and the distance from everyone is getting bigger and bigger , so, so I..."

"I'm distracted, I've been out of shape."

"Well, I can't think of a plan, or something..."

What he said was stuttering, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell the truth at a glance. Erwin stared at him, speechless for a long time.

"...Hmm, Captain Ai, Irwin?" Almin was very disturbed by his gaze. He didn't have much confidence in his heart, so he was even more depressed.

—W-Why are you looking at him like that...

——Is it because...you noticed that he was lying...

He bit his lower lip slightly.

Well, it is indeed correct to obediently tell the whole thing at this time, but if Captain Levi is involved because of this...

——I don’t want to trouble that person.

It's obvious...it's all because of my own random thoughts...

It obviously has nothing to do with that person!

——If because of my own reasons, that person was involved...

--if……

It must be hated.

Armin's heart tightened, and he unconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes, and his slightly drooping long eyelashes covered his dazed eyes.

—Maybe, maybe we won’t be able to meet again from now on...

As soon as this thought crossed his brain, the sourness and pain immediately stretched deep, entangled like vines, tightly holding his breath.

--why……

——It’s just an idea, why is it so painful...

"So," Erwin finally said, his tone not salty, "you haven't seen each other since you separated, have you?"

"Hmm..." Armin nodded, took a light breath, and forced himself to suppress the wavering that shouldn't have happened at this moment, "Han... the captain of the Ji Division said that we will talk about it the next day, but there has been no news since then .”

At that time, he thought that Han Ji had received a temporary mission and couldn't escape, or that he had a new research experiment, so he didn't come to him.

After all, according to Han Ji's past behavior style, it is very normal to disappear for a few days.

——Her research on giants has long been fanatical to the point of obsession, and she even set a "brilliant" record of not going out for ten days in the closed room!

Similarly, it is precisely because of this precedent that Erwin and the others didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, only thinking that she was an analysis and research for the sake of experimentation and forgot to eat and sleep.

If it wasn't for the battle plan sent in the name of Han Ji...

"...I see." Erwin stood up, his eyes finally became a little gentler, "So, until the matter is completely clear, Arnold, you have to stay here, can you?"

"Ugh?"

Without further explanation, Erwin and Miko left together.

The dungeon returned to calm again, and Armin stared blankly ahead, but his thoughts drifted away.

Captain Han Ji, she...something must have happened...

But, but what does this have to do with him...

Although he was worried about Hanji's situation, what was more in his heart was the panic of not knowing what happened.

Commander Erwin's attitude...as if he was identified as a criminal.

The pain from all over the body prevented him from concentrating properly, and his brain ached badly. He wanted to rub his temples, but he gave up because of the tight iron chains around his wrists.He lay down slowly, the pillow under his head was wet, and his breath was full of damp musty smell.

And Captain Levi...

In the past, he always followed Captain Erwin, but this time he didn't even show his face. Could it be to avoid suspicion...

Armin lowered his head, his overly long forehead hair covered his pale face, making it difficult for people to see his expression at the moment, but judging from his slightly trembling body and his finger bones that were turning blue due to clenched hands, he could clearly see that He was extremely emotionally unstable.

That's right... that's right.

I and Captain Levi had just done that kind of thing, and this situation happened, and it was right to avoid suspicion.

they are now...

It is really not suitable to meet.

He turned over and buried his face in the pillow, the mild musty smell became stronger because of being too close.

——Obviously in my heart, Captain Levi made the right decision, but...

but……

I still feel very sad.

There's always a feeling of being...abandoned.

……

When Erwin and Miko walked out of the dungeon one after the other, the sky was faintly bright in the distance, and a new day had come.

The morning breeze blew away, easily blowing away the exhaustion from a sleepless night.

This is the most remote corner of the castle, and it is also the place with the most secure defenses.

Because right above the dungeon is Levi's room.

"Do you believe what Arnold said?" Mi Ke glanced back at the entrance of the dungeon, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"..." Erwin said nothing, just smiled and walked away.

Mi Ke was stunned, and quickly caught up with him, "Hey, Erwin!"

Walking out of j□j, the sound of soldiers training could be faintly heard not far away, and Erwin looked sideways, just in time to see the soldiers of the 104th period running at the forefront.

"What do you think."

"..." Mi Ke stared at him, and then said slowly, "I can't guess you."

"Ha ha."

"...To be honest, if you keep Arnold there, it will be easy for Levi to find out."

"Ah, I didn't intend to hide it from him."

"Then why did you send Levi and his squad to investigate outside the wall last night?" Isn't it to send people away?

Erwin said meaningfully, "Oh, that's just for the expedition to explore the bottom half a month later."

"..." Only ghosts believed it.

I could see what Mi Ke was thinking, but Erwin didn't want to point it out, and only suggested with a smile on his face: "You should be hungry after a busy night, let's go to the cafeteria."

"..."

"I found a ten-meter-level giant on the right!"

On the bumpy horseback, Petra leaned down to avoid the giant's sweeping hand, and flew around behind the giant with the three-dimensional mobile device. The long steel cable pierced the air and nailed into the giant's muscles and bones. Her whole body Suspended in mid-air, he raised the long knife in his hand high, the snow-white blade reflected the sunlight, lingered behind the blade and gathered at the tip of the knife, it was about to cut the back of the giant's neck.

However, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly enveloped her. It turned out that there were other giants nearby, who were attracted by the living humans at this moment, and stretched out their hands to her.

"Be careful—" With this reminder, the strong wind blew past, and the giant who was about to attack Petra paused and fell down in the next second.

Petra cut off her target without frowning.

"Hey, Petra!" The silver-haired man stepped on the giant's head, "At least pay attention to my back!"

"I'm handing over the back to you." Compared to the man's excitement, Petra still smiled, returned to the horse's back and pulled the rein, and controlled the horse's head to turn, "Let the giant sneak away It was your fault for coming here, Oluou."

"Huh?" Oluou's forehead twitched, his eyes almost narrowed into a line, "Hey, do I still have to thank you for your trust in me?"

"Well, you're welcome." Petra smiled with crooked eyebrows, her light brown hair reflected soft light in the sun, "Who made us partners, we should."

"I'm not complimenting you!"

"Ah——" Petra's eyes moved slightly, and she noticed the man riding a horse from the right diagonal, and she couldn't help but galloped over.

"Hey Petra!" Oluou, who was still behind, stepped on the giant's head and jumped, "I haven't finished talking..."

"Captain!"

"Ah."

The stern-faced man controlled the horse with one hand, slightly raised his head to look at the sky, his eyes hurt from the unreserved sunlight, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

"The giant's range of activities has begun to widen." In front of Levi, Petra obviously didn't have the jokes she had when talking to Oluou. Killed a 7-meter-level giant with the assistance of

——In this kind of plain area with no buildings at all, the usability of the three-dimensional mobile device is greatly restricted, which directly affects everyone's combat effectiveness.

"Go back." Levi said lightly.

I have been scouting around here all night, but I haven't seen the abnormal phenomenon that Mi Ke mentioned.On the contrary, because of a groundless incident, the elite troops of the Corps were dispatched...

——It’s really not like Erwin would make such a hasty decision...

Then, the so-called extraterrestrial investigation... the ultimate goal is probably just to distract them.

Levi slowly frowned, a sign of his rapidly deteriorating mood.

That Erwin guy...

What are you planning? !

After returning to the Corps, Levi led a few people in the class to the head's office to report the progress of the investigation. During this time, Erwin asked a few questions sternly, and after getting a satisfactory answer, he let everyone go down to rest.

Except, of course, Levi.

"How is it?" Erwin signed his name on the document and smiled slightly, "...are you in good condition?"

"You asked me to stay, you shouldn't just ask about this kind of thing." Levi raised his eyes, "What happened?"

"This is the battle plan for half a month later." Erwin took out a copy from the documents on the table, pressed his fingers on it and pushed it to Levi's eyes. The latter glanced at it, reached out to take it, but didn't read it After a few lines, he frowned, "What a mess."

"Han Ji handed it over."

"The more you live, the more you go back."

"It's really an answer that fits your personality." Erwin signed the last document in fluent cursive English without looking up, "However, this proposal was not written by Han Ji."

"What do you mean?"

"Someone pretended to be her and sent this proposal."
