[Attack on Titan] Junia's Diary of a Soldier

54.

Everything is traced back to the root, and once the thread is touched, the truth has already begun to unfold no matter how far away it is.

"This is... a ring?"

Use a knife to cut open the lower layer of fabric of the piano case, a hidden hidden compartment, inside is a delicate silver ring inlaid with sapphires.

The pattern of vines, the whole ring is entwined with such vines, the fine carving technique should be the crystallization of human technology, and the sapphire reflecting the blue luster made Junia gasp.

She always thought that her family was a poor art family, but her ancestors seemed to be very rich?

"Just one ring? Is there anything on it?"

Levi squatted down in front of Junia, and looked carefully at the ring on Junia's hand. It seemed that he was a little surprised by the contents of the piano box, and the look of disappointment was faintly visible in his eyes.

"Well, there are only patterns on it, but no lettering."

Looking up and down the ring several times to no avail, Junia shook her head at Levi, the hard feel of the ring made her feel a little strangely moved, she held the ring with one hand and stretched out the index finger of the other hand, and slowly slipped it on go up.

"Exactly..."

The tone in her tone was more joyful than accident, Junia turned her hand a few times and looked at the ring against her complexion and rolled her eyes with a smile.

Girls always like this kind of beautiful things. The more important premise is that this beautiful thing belongs to them and they can use them.

"Take it down."

Levi was very upset with Junia's smile now, he took Junia's hand involuntarily, pulled the ring off, just about to say something, but his lowered eyes stared at the ring as if they were stuck , The frown became deeper and deeper.

"What's wrong?"

Junia realized that Levi's expression was wrong, and leaned her head to look.

"It's exactly the same... The pattern on this ring is exactly the same as the pattern repeatedly depicted in the diary left by the pioneer of the survey corps."

Levi said in a deep voice, then stood up with a serious face while holding the ring.

"Are you going to Captain Erwin?"

After closing the piano case two or three times and putting it away, Junia patted the dust on her body and took a few steps to follow.

"Well, you can come too."

There was some worry on Levi's brows, Junia knew that things were starting to develop into subtle and troublesome places again, and the faint joy just because the ring was the right size was washed away at once.

"Don't wear this ring in the future, it's not yours, what are you happy about like a fool."

The steps under him did not slow down, Levi smiled lightly and spoke lightly, and then glanced lightly at Junia's face.

"I think it's pretty good..."

"so ugly."

"...I don't have a ring, but if it doesn't work, you can buy it for me... so short..."

Yunia, who was wounded by the phrase "it's ugly to death", turned her head away from Levi, and began to mutter.

"I'll buy it for you."

"Eh!!!"

There was a moment of astonishment, and after realizing what Levi had said just now, his whole body shivered. It is no exaggeration to say that he really had goose bumps all over his body as if he had been struck by lightning.

"What were you trying to say just now?"

Junia's dead dwarf had already vomited more than half of it at that time, Levi naturally understood it with a little intelligence quotient, but he gave Junia a slightly fierce look, seeing that the other party realized the mistake, he didn't take the next step.

Finally, through this corridor, at the end is the office where Captain Erwin is located.

This corridor is well lit, with well-shaped wooden floors, and the sunlight is separated by windows into squares. Junia is extremely nervous at the moment, as if something will swallow her when she walks through that door. Something happened to kill her, she accidentally looked at the window, and a white dove flashed past her eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

Levi stopped in front of the door, turned his head and urged Junia who was standing in front of the window.

"Um... nothing."

Shaking his head in a long tone, Junia trotted a few steps to keep up, and Levi also raised his hands and slightly retracted his limbs and knocked on Erwin's door.

----------

Repeatedly wandering on the wall of life and death, shouting against the wind but not being able to reach the other shore.

God, betrayed us.

"Huh...huh..."

Waking up from a nightmare, Junia always felt that after coming to the Survey Corps, whether it was insomnia or nightmares, she always liked to surround her, and it was still before dawn that she lit a candle and she was no longer sleepy.

Junia still remembered Captain Erwin's serious words, and her already restless mind was even more chaotic.

"The source of giants may have an inseparable relationship with human beings..."

Repeating Erwin's words in her mouth, Junia raised the corners of her mouth mockingly.

There is no need to say this in such a high-sounding way. After seeing Alan and Ani who can turn into giants, and after seeing the giants in the wall, everyone knows that giants and humans are like existences at both ends of the mirror.

No, even if human beings are giants, she will be completely convinced that giants are incarnations of humans.

"Hey, Junia, what's the matter with you?"

"Did it wake you up? Sorry, Petola, go back to sleep."

Petola, who was sleeping on the opposite bed, opened her misty eyes, and asked in a muffled voice, raised her hand to stroke her forehead, and sat up with one hand on the bed.

"It's okay, it hasn't been long since you were released from the crystal, Junia, you better not be too forceful."

"I just feel uneasy..."

"Helista has already talked to that priest. She told me yesterday that she intends to tell the investigative corps the truth first."

"Eh?" Petola's words made Junia wake up even more excitedly, "You mean the secret about the wall, right? Telling the survey corps means that you don't intend to disclose it to humans, but only plan to reveal it to the survey corps. Tell the staff."

"It should be." Petola's eyes gradually became clearer, she stroked her hair and pulled the clothes aside her shoulders, then got up and walked to sit beside Junia.

"But even if it is said to tell the survey corps, the number of people who can know about this matter as decided by the head of the group is far less than the number of people on the right wing."

"This kind of caution really makes people feel a little disappointed that they are not trusted, although they know why."

"Yeah... oh, by the way, Junia was told I saw the ring."

"Ok?"

Junia did not understand what Petola meant.

"He said he saw Captain Levi holding the ring in his hand, and he looked hurried. Hey, you didn't tell me because you were proposed?"

Petola said with a playful wink at Junia.

"Where did you think?! Really...it's just a ring."

"The ring is very important, isn't it? The ring is used to propose marriage... Ah! Could it be that this ring was not given to you by Captain Levi?"

"To be precise, it's not Levi's..."

"Oh! This is too cruel. Captain Levi's height managed to catch up with a girl, and the marriage proposal was preempted!"

"..."

Junia, who had been chilled because of the nightmare, no longer had that sense of tension at all. I have to say that after returning from the hospital, Petola's ability to speak in a non-surprising way seems to be even better, although she is still as gentle and considerate as ever. , but the gossip ability is also rising steadily.

----------

When I reported to Hanji early in the morning, I heard various rumors about Captain Erwin's face that had been kept very tense after talking with recruit Helista early in the morning.

"The captain didn't call you and Levi over?"

Junia wondered why Hanji was still studying the giant on the other side of the wall, since Erwin knew the answer directly.

"Not yet, I don't know if Levi has it, but shouldn't you, Levi Junia, know better than me?"

"Shut up, I don't live with him."

Seeing Han Ji's ambiguous meaning, Junia immediately jumped back and cursed back.

"Oh~ But I really want to know that when I opened the door of Levi's room, I saw Junia..." "Believe it or not, I kicked you down?"

Yunia said, believe it or not, her feet had already been raised, Han Ji smiled awkwardly and waved her hands, then closed her mouth consciously.

"Don't be led by Levi, it's dangerous to kick people at every turn!"

There was no sense of crisis in Han Ji's eyes behind the lens. He smiled and said that he was able to look at the scenery inside the city wall, and his slightly opened mouth seemed to be gasped because of the surging scene in front of him.

But... for Han Ji, this scene can be seen almost every day, isn't it?

"There are a lot of things inside the wall that make me curious, not to mention the world outside the wall. Even if Erwin didn't tell me the origin of the giant in the wall, I have already guessed seven or eight points." Han Ji said Looking at Junia's slightly stunned expression, she smiled.

"They must be human beings who can transform into giants like Allen. For the last pure land of human beings, they must build a high wall side by side."

Junia's eyes widened gradually following Hanji's words, and finally put away all expressions and smiled.

"Well, it must be so."

Even if the gods did abandon humans, humans would still fight for each other.

Han Ji seems to be indifferent to things other than what he is passionate about, but in fact, he may see it more thoroughly than anyone else.

"Ah, by the way, I'm curious about it."

"what?"

"I heard Levi asking where to buy a ring this morning. I thought Levi would at least delay marrying you, Junia, until everything was over. I didn't expect... eh... Junia What’s wrong with you?"

Han Ji said carelessly, and turned his head with a smile, only to find that Junia's hair hanging down there blocked her expression, making it difficult for him to predict whether he would like it or not.

"It's nothing, I'm just happy for a while and don't know what expression to show."

As Junia spoke, the hands beside her tightly grasped the corners of her clothes.

Even in such a hopeless world, there is always a ray of light that makes her unwilling to let go. She really loves this world from the bottom of her heart.

The author has something to say: I recently heard that my dear friend Tuoer is going to end his childlike appearance, and I feel envious in my heart. I'm still nineteen chapters away!asshole! !

I also heard that she has no one to urge her to change, and the argument of not changing has caused a lot of diving. I think I have been reminded by a cute little girl and I have no face to say this...

So what do I do?Should it bomb you and let your corpses float on the water?

Well...let me think, think, think again...
