[Attack on Titan] The Gate of Hakogawa

?#twenty two

"What does Levi think this world is like? Humans live in a land protected by three huge walls, and outside the city walls are full of man-eating giants. They have been besieged by the walls for nearly a hundred years, but even after investigation With the unremitting efforts of the Corps, the techniques used to kill giants are just gnawing trees. In the end, human beings still have no way to defeat giants. Until one day the city walls are breached by giants, and human beings will be extinct. I think I should have missed it. .”

The young man who called himself Allen spoke in detail, his tone was always gentle and calm, and he stared at Levi's eyes focused and sincere, but his words were indisputably tough, making him The listening party can only accept passively.

"……so what."

Levi narrowed his eyes slightly, although he didn't intend to accept everything the young man said, but in terms of what he described, there was really nothing to criticize.

However, he felt extremely irritated by the appearance of the other party's mastery and omniscience. He knew the whole truth and didn't intend to tell it all at once. style.

Whether it's the face that wants to cry or not, and thinks it hides emotions well, or the face that always reveals the hurt expression inadvertently, making him unconsciously overlap the other party with Alan, it makes him feel The urge to tear apart the opponent's disguise.

"But what if this is not the case? Can you accept that the values ​​instilled in you since childhood have been completely subverted? Can you abandon the relationship between the people you have bonded with?" The youth didn't care about Italy Will's reaction was to continue without hesitation, "If you still cherish everything you have, just turn around here, and leave the door you came in as if it was just a matter of coming here." A dream, in this case, nothing will change, and no one will leave..."

The young man's words seemed to leave suspense, but his gentle tone suddenly changed, "...Otherwise, your world will collapse."

This sentence was said in a malicious and indifferent manner, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, but the young man was still smiling, which made the young man exuding a chilling aura.

But this is only the appearance.

Levi could see the young man's disguise at a glance, the emotional pain in his eyes was so painful that even he could hear the silent cry in the other party's heart, but he insisted on pretending to be indifferent and said words against his will, and put Push yourself away from his side.

It's really... too ugly and too stubborn.

Obviously...it's just Allen.

"It's so noisy, you guy, you really talk a lot of nonsense, save some effort, don't have to convince me, do you know that you guy is not suitable for lying at all? It has always been like this, your expression has long been Betrayed you, you bastard—would like me to stay."

"Besides, it's so nice to say, it seems that as long as you turn around and leave, you won't lose anything. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? I knew very early on that this world is not beautiful, and there are a lot of disgusting and dirty garbage. , even if you want to make up a lie to fool me, at least find a convincing reason, besides, even if I go back... Allen is gone."

Unexpectedly, Levi would give this answer in the end, the young man was taken aback, and then smiled wryly, "I'm sorry Levi, only Alan I can't give you any guarantee, he is destined to die, because this is impossible no matter how many times you repeat it evaded fate."

"I can't be willful anymore. There have been several times because of my self-willedness that caused almost irreparable mistakes. I don't want to experience that feeling of despair anymore, so as long as you can live well, no matter what form it is... ...I've had enough."

"If you were really satisfied with this, you wouldn't tell me these things at all, wouldn't it be better if I didn't know anything." Levi said calmly.

"Ah..." Cracks finally appeared on the young man's overly perfect face, and his eyes flickered with loss of consciousness and confusion, and his whole body froze, as if the truth he had been relying on for a long time had been overthrown, and he was at a loss for a moment. .

"But I'm not reconciled, it's obviously my fault, why should you bear it..." In the end, the young man squeezed out this sentence through his teeth.

"Haha..." Levi took a deep breath, he suddenly raised his foot and walked in front of the young man, tipped his toes slightly in the young man's surprised eyes, stretched out his hand to hold the other's head and pressed down hard, and then Just a blunt rubbing.

"Lee, Levi?" The young man was caught off guard by the force and bent down, because Levi's head was still in Levi's hands, he could only shout in a surprised and somewhat panicked voice.

"The body has grown so big, I thought you had grown up, and you put on an inscrutable face in front of you, but in your bones, you are exactly the same as that stinky brat who hasn't been weaned."

"You just want comfort, you want to be understood, you want to act like a baby, don't you?"

"It's not like this, it's not... this kind of thing..." The head that was still struggling suddenly calmed down, Levi looked down at the quiet young man who was bent down, but the fallen temple hair covered him. caught his countenance.

"So what exactly are you trying to say, if I don't make it clear, I can't possibly know?" Levi's hand grabbing the young man's head suddenly pulled back, forcing him to raise his head to confront himself See.

"but……"

In Levi's leaden pupils, the young man seemed very hesitant, he looked away uncomfortably, and even lowered his tone unconsciously.

"Alan, you said that you are also called by this name, do you really think I didn't notice anything? After you babbled so much, I didn't even have a thought, and I didn't even prepare for it. Do you look like those brainless giants?"

"Even if they don't have that name, they are not the ones I know, but whether it is Erwin or Petra, they are indeed alive, since you know my experience, you should be clear, alive There is still hope, and infinite possibilities. Whether we are strangers or get to know each other again, we all have the opportunity to choose. Besides, you are also a real person who exists here, aren’t you unwilling? Then tell me, this world The real appearance-"

Allen listened in a daze, and suddenly felt warm liquid slide over his cheeks, and only after touching it did he realize that he had shed tears unknowingly.

Levi immediately let go of his hand in disgust, returning control of his head to the young man.

"Hey, it's disgusting, why are you crying!"

"Eh, no, no, it's tears of joy, because... my voice has finally reached Levi..."

The young man blinked in disbelief, and then he slowly let go of the corners of his mouth. Although the tears in the corners of his eyes hadn't been wiped away, this time he finally smiled happily and relaxed from the bottom of his heart, and this smile also made Levi Inexplicable empathy, followed by a lot of relief.

"Hey, anyway, please explain first, I will listen to you for now." Levi folded his arms, stepped back a few steps and sat on the mattress, Ellen nodded, and walked to Levi in ​​a kind manner The right side also sat down.

Although it was agreed to explain, Allen didn't seem to know where to start for a while, and the two fell into an awkward silence.

Seeing that the silence has not been broken, and the young man looks like he is thinking hard, Levi said impatiently, "Anyway, please introduce yourself first, who the hell are you?"

Unexpectedly, Levi would ask the question first, Allen was slightly startled, and after a little thought, he answered carefully, "My name is Ellen Yeager, I'm 20 years old, and I'm Levi's ... lover."

"This is the same as what I know, so what is your origin? What is your relationship with Allen?"

Feeling both proud and troubled by Levi's sharp and on-target question, Allen organized his words in his mind with a complex expression.

"Levi, before answering your question, you must know that there are no giants in this world."

"There are no three walls, no survey corps, and no persecuted humans."

"Also, you are not... who you think you are."
