[Attack on Titan] One percent

"Hmm... The 'Battle to Recapture the Wall of Maria' lasted four days and three nights..."

"...The team killed eighteen giants..."

"...Among them, the team leader killed twelve heads independently, and assisted two heads...

"What are you muttering about?" Levi slammed the chair aside and sat down at the dining table, frowning and asked.

Opposite him, Han Ji was holding a stack of manuscript papers and studying them carefully, without even bothering to eat the food in front of him.Hearing Levi's question, Han Ji raised the manuscript paper in his hand, "Little Kuya's combat report." After finishing speaking, he immersed himself in the research.

There was a moment of silence at the dining table—a woman hadn't shown up for three days, and Han Ji really didn't know which pot to turn on.

After a while, the voice full of interest sounded again: "Talent, what a talent! Look at this battle summary, it's penetrating! It doesn't look like it was written by someone who can't switch his confinement!" Immediately, Han Ji patted his body again Andrea next to her said, "Learn more, so that you won't make mistakes in the future."

In the "Battle of Recapture", Andrea was assigned to be in charge of supplies in the central column, and she basically didn't see any tragic scenes, so it can be said that the journey was smooth.This survey was hardly the first time she had confronted a giant.

"There is an ice hole in the house, which can freeze bad emotions at work. This captain doesn't have that special function."

"Speaking of which, the adjustment last time was pretty good, but it took too long for Little Kuya this time, right?" Han Ji blinked at Andrea.

"Maybe the door of the ice hole is broken." Andrea's voice sounded like boiling water. She was so cold that she quickly gulped down a mouthful of hot soup.She hasn't taken the initiative to look for Kuya for three days, and it's useless to go anyway, she doesn't want them to find out the thought gap between her and Kuya, but... "Maybe it's a painful experience right now, the more I think about it, the more painful it is, crying Grabbing the sky and land, using wine to drown your sorrows, drunk and dreaming..."

She spits out a long list of words, then glances at Levi defiantly.

Does Andrea want Levi to comfort little Kuya?Hanji hurriedly turned his head to Levi again.Why is it in a hurry, because after they came back from the battle and slept soundly for a day, they were still very busy.While keeping an eye on the emotions of the entire corps, they have to sort out and write complicated and lengthy reports, and do work for people with special emotional problems, and prepare for a meeting after everyone has adjusted to normal... Most importantly, this There was a major discovery in this battle, so Zoe, a busy man with science, only had a few minutes to spy on Levi every day. The response he got on the first day was "Leave that troublesome woman alone", and "Let her think for herself" on the second day. Ji is looking forward to the moment when Levi can't sit still.

However, this time, the person on the other side just wiped out the food in front of him in an orderly manner, then got up and left without leaving a word.

"Well...it doesn't matter, sometimes silence is better than sound."

At night, Andrea had been pressing her ear to her door for an hour, but there was not even a footstep in the corridor.

"Levi, bastard, do you think the captain is willing to give you the opportunity?!"

Just when Andrea finally couldn't help but wanted to rush out of the room to curse someone, the sound of knocking on the door reached her ears.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

No answer.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

Still no one answered.

"Troublesome woman, open the door quickly, don't dawdle."

After a long time, there was finally a sound from inside, so weak that Levi could barely hear it.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

It was pitch black inside the door, and Levi paused by the door for a moment, and when his eyes got used to the darkness, he realized that there was a figure in the only light in the whole room.

With her back against the wall, she sat on the floor on the thick carpet by the window, with her legs bent and her hands lightly crossed.

Levi walks over to her and sits down, also bending one leg, putting his elbow on his knee.

"There is a regular meeting tomorrow, remember to come on time."

"……Um."

"You have been acquitted by the Deliberative Council, and the person who prosecuted you has also been found to be dereliction of duty by Commander Pixis, and has been demoted three levels in a row."

"……Um."

"Your team's survival rate is among the top three in the entire corps, and your personal record is also outstanding. They are considering whether to let you be the team leader."

"..."

silence.

As his words fell, the surrounding time seemed to freeze.

There was a clear and faint silver light streaming in through the window, half of her face was in the bright, calm and impermanent, and half of her face was in the darkness, with indistinguishable outlines.He thought, maybe her heart also has this kind of yin and yang, the white side shows others that it is indestructible, and the black side is full of scars, and she only licks it alone at night.

"What are you confused about?"

Her eyelids trembled, she glanced at him, but she held up the wine glass by the window, "Do you want a drink?"

Levi didn't even look at her, he just locked her eyes tightly, his eyes were deep, "What are you confused about?" He asked again.

She said "ah", she didn't seem to hear what he said, she shook her head and said: "I forgot that this was drunk, wait a minute, I'll pour you another glass."

As soon as Kuya stood up, Levi immediately reached out and grabbed her.

The result of sitting with legs curled up for a long time is poor blood circulation, resulting in limp and unconscious limbs, commonly known as foot numbness.So Levi just pulled lightly, and Kuya automatically threw himself into his arms.

Afraid that she would get hurt, he circled her, all movements were extremely natural and smooth, the smell of wine mixed with the fragrance of shampoo penetrated into the tip of his nose, and he unconsciously tightened his arms.

Feeling his strength, the person in his arms couldn't help trembling slightly, Levi frowned, but it was rare to wait patiently.

Time slowed down at this moment, Kuya obediently lay on Levi's chest, his steady and powerful heartbeat echoing in her ears, she just listened so quietly.

Gradually, gradually, Kuya's heart beat steadily, and for a moment she even forgot her own confusion and sadness.

After a long time, Levi asked in a low voice, "Woman, you won't fall asleep, will you?"

Then, the person in his arms broke free from his arms, sat up and replied, "It was almost."

Levi raised the corners of his lips, "Everyone is in the mood to joke, it seems much better."

"Mr. Levi's curative effect is remarkable."

"You are so courageous, how dare you just treat me as a blind medicine." Levi stretched out his hand again as he spoke, but encountered a hard piece of paper, "What is this?"

Kuya spread out her palms, and there was a photo lying in her palms.The photo shows a family of three with happy and beautiful smiles.Their names are neatly written on the back.

Michelle Arnold, wife Laura Arnold, and dearest angel, Armin Arnold.

Rubbing those names with her slender fingertips, Kuya stared at the photo and said softly: "She always said that I am still a girl, and they should have protected me. She looked at me like the dean... Even though I couldn't breathe, I still asked me if I was tired... The world is so cruel to her, I am so strict to her, but she is so kind, I, I..."

The corners of her eyes are dry, but Levi has the illusion that she's crying.He reached out and patted the top of her head reassuringly.

"You... just don't want to see others treat you well."

Kuya paused for a long time, and then said: "She always thought that she was destined to let go outside the wall, but I changed her mind, I thought... I can protect well, at least I can protect both of them , and I told them 'it's okay, I'm here'...but in the end, in the end...they were right, and I was just a naive idealist, a liar..."

"I said I wanted to protect them, but I watched them die... right in front of me..."

After she finished speaking, her hands were tightly clenched into fists, and her lips were tightly pressed into a straight line.

Who said that it is good to speak out what is in your heart?

Why, after she spoke from the bottom of her heart, the colic began to spread from her heart to her body, and it couldn't be stopped.

Suddenly, Kuya was pulled up by a strong force.Numbly, she lets Levi pull her and lead her to the desk.

Levi let go of her hand, lit the lamp, rummaged through the paper bag on the table for a while, and finally took out some papers and put them in front of her.

"This is the information about your two battles with giants. The survey corps has a copy. When they got the first information, the whole group reacted very strongly. Some people even called you Miracle Soldier. Did you know that you dropped a copy here? A bomb?"

Kuya still shook her head numbly, except for a few high-level officials, she no longer knew other people's opinions.

"And this time, the way you broke into the forest was even more amazing. Without your actions, there would have been countless casualties in these two battles." Levi stroked her face gently, making her look straight My own eyes, "Kuya, you are very smart and have excellent cognition, don't be fooled by your fragility. Death in battle is an inevitable thing, not to mention, you are facing an average It takes 30 people to defeat a giant. Miracle soldier, you are not an idealist, and in terms of survival rate, you have done a good job."

His thumb gently rubbed the corners of her eyes, repeatedly, as if this could wipe away the sadness in her eyes.

"What is gone is irretrievable, what you have to do is to cherish the people who are still around..."

Hearing this, Kuya's eyes finally had waves, and the light reflected in her eyes finally became less dim.

Then, he suddenly sighed, his eyes gradually softened, "At the same time, you should also know how important you are to the people around you, huh? Bold woman, every time your strange behavior makes me feel nervous How heart-wrenching, do you know, huh? Do you know?"

Kuya froze, letting him hold her face.After a long time, she suddenly buried herself in his arms, put her face on his shoulder, and said sullenly:

"I'm no less frightened than you."
