dream life

It's already nine o'clock in the evening, and I put away the cold dinner. Molly, you agreed to come and play with me, did you forget this time?Damn girl, it's my fault that I cooked so much extra food!

"Li-chan~ put on your shoes, let's go to Molly's house~" I locked the basement door and called Levi, Levi came running over, "Angie, why are we going to Molly's house?"

"Molly promised to come, but she didn't come. Could she be sick and stay at home?" I put on my shoes, "We are friends with Molly, we should go and see her!"

"Tch, I think she forgot!" Levi said sharply at a young age.

"Okay!" I pinched his face, "Men should be magnanimous, hurry up, he might go to bed when it's late!"

I am amazed.

The door of Molly's house was wide open, and her mother's heart-piercing cries could be heard from inside. Levi trembled when he saw the blood on the ground, damn it!Why didn't you hear anything just now? !Wouldn't it be robbers? !

Neither of us rushed in without any hesitation. Molly was lying on the couch at home, Molly's mother was crying so hard that she couldn't stand up, and her father was describing the situation to two military policemen excitedly. something.

"Angie!" Her mother rushed up and shook me madly after seeing me, "Angie! Do you know who killed my daughter?! Molly told me she was going to find you before she left the door, but ……But……"

"Ma'am! Don't get excited! Let's ask this lady some questions!" A tall military police pulled Molly's mother away, Levi quickly pulled me back two steps, he stared straight at the weak Molly, who was lying on the couch, didn't know what he was thinking.

"Miss," another fatter military policeman said with a serious expression, "Molly left the house with the excuse of looking for you, but we found her lying in a dead end three streets away three or ten minutes ago." He paused After a pause, he lowered his voice, "Serious lacerations and almost irreparable rectal prolapse and rupture occurred, as well as multiple abrasions and bruises on the body, accompanied by fractured hand bones."

Molly was raped.

□□She has more than one person.

That day, I didn't know how I answered those questions, and how I moved back home step by step. I only saw her closed eyes and pale face under the light.

Why... why is it her.

"If at that time...we could go to her house to look for her earlier...maybe we would have found out that she was gone earlier..." Levi suddenly broke the silence before going to sleep, he didn't know who he was confessing to.

"Blame only those bad people." I turned around, "You must always understand that they are the most abominable people, and never blame those good people with good intentions."

I took out the blood rose necklace Jerry left me, which is a summoner, and if I put my right thumb on it for more than ten seconds, it means calling Jerry.

"Hello, Miss William, long time no see."

"Jerry, do you know what happened?"

Jerry nodded, "I understand what you mean. I will go to treat the wound of that little girl right away. I feel very sad that something like this happened."

"What's the use of being sad." I stood up, "Jerry, do you know what happened at that time?"

"The law and order on that street has always been chaotic, and Molly shouldn't have gone there." Jerry's tone softened, "Molly is a girl who doesn't know much about the world, and she went out under the banner of going to you to play, but to Going to meet a boy—that boy was a naughty boy Molly met several times when she was on the street. Molly thought it was a romantic date, but in fact, what awaited her was a cruel atrocity .”

How could it be... I couldn't help but shed tears, "Why... Why do you treat such a little girl like this... These people are simply inferior to beasts!"

"There are too many dark sides in the underground mall." Jerry took off his top hat and put it on his chest. "Miss William, protect yourself."

I am speechless, this bloody world.

Molly's injury was almost healed under Jerry's treatment, but the Gendarmerie didn't find out who killed her.

Jerry didn't tell me the name of the person who killed her, and I don't want to solve this problem through the Gendarmerie. I want to solve this problem in my own way, and I want to give back a little justice to the underground street!

I've sent Levi to play with Molly several times with his toys, but he's always driven back mercilessly.

Molly's eyes became dull, and she almost didn't take the initiative to speak.

I couldn't bear to see her mother whose eyes were already swollen from crying.

Molly, wait a little longer, I will return this justice to you sooner or later!

These days, I put Levi to bed early every night, then lock the door, hide two daggers in leather boots, and carry a basket with a sharp ax in the basket.

Where I'm going is where Molly was raped.

I dress like a girl from a poor family.

I wandered around in those dark alleys.

Turn around.

Turn around.

But for several nights in a row, I kept going for three or four hours, but I didn't meet that group of thugs.

what happened?Are they hiding from the limelight after committing a crime?

I never mentioned this to Levi, but he was sensitive during the day and didn't talk much after he found out that I had become lethargic. The strange thing is that he always likes to wield his little dagger recently, for some reason.

"Angie! Look!"

Holding the dagger in his backhand, he chopped off the dummy's head at once.

"Be careful." I smiled, "Don't cut your hands."

It's also good, learn more skills to defend himself, so as not to waste his own talent.

Molly, if you bear with it, justice may be late, but it will never be absent!

"Hey, little girl, it's so late, what are you looking for?"

At the entrance of the alley, a foolish young figure suddenly appeared and blocked my way. I looked around, um, there were at least four or five guys.

I steadied my heartbeat, reached into the basket, and gripped the handle of the ax tightly.

"A few days ago, my sister was injured here." I paused, "I want to talk to the person who hurt her."

"Oh, that's how it is!" He came closer and closer to me, "Little sister, you have found the right person. Brother sees who did it. Go inside, and brother will tell you the truth."

I didn't move.

"Did you do it?" I looked directly at his figure, which was a head taller than mine, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Hahahaha!" The people next to him laughed unscrupulously, "Girl, your younger sister misunderstood the intentions of the brothers, the younger sister is too young to enjoy it, you try it, and you will know that the brothers are kind." Already!"

"Good intentions?!" I sneered, "I have an axe, I haven't used it in normal times, I sharpened it specially today, why don't you show kindness and help me try my axe, how about it?"

The tall man spat hard on the ground with a "bah", "Okay! Stop talking nonsense! If you don't want to be beaten, you can take off your clothes!"

I silently made a cross on my chest, okay, this is your nature, don't blame me for killing again, I will send you to meet your god today!

I threw the basket hard at the tall man, who was caught off guard and had to reach out to stop him. Then there was a burst of blood, my ax was stained with blood, and he fell to the ground dead while clutching his neck amidst the screams.

"The first one!" I wiped off the blood splattered on my face, held the axe, and slowly walked towards the other four people.

"Damn girl! What did you do?!"

The four of them still didn't pay attention to me, the little girl who suddenly exploded, and each picked up a dick and was about to swing at me. I dodged to avoid a dagger, and threw the ax out with a huff. The carotid artery of the last person was broken, well, another fell!

I jumped up, kicked the person closest to me away with both feet, and took out the two daggers from my leather boots, and the daggers flew out, piercing the hearts of the two people precisely.

The last guy who was still alive was a very thin young man. He collapsed in the corner, staring in horror at me who picked up the ax with a murderous expression on his face, holding the dagger in trembling hands, "You...don't come here...ah... ...Mom...Dad... Come and save me!"

I was taken aback suddenly.

They're...so young...and just...kids...

A teenager, youth, my age.

I shook my head vigorously, scanning the four corpses lying on the ground.

Angelia, even though you hate them, did you ever have the right to deprive them of their young lives.

My heart trembled violently.

I feel my consciousness... suddenly a little trance...

Angelia, what are you doing!

I dropped the axe, turned around staggeringly, for some reason my vision was a bit blurred...

what are you doing...

I didn't notice that the boy who collapsed to the ground in fright got up slowly, grasped his dagger tightly, and approached me step by step.

There are only three steps left to approach me.

"Angie be careful!" A familiar child's voice brought me back to my senses instantly, Levi? !

I turned around abruptly, and the boy who was terrified before me was stabbing at me with his dagger raised high, but before I could react, a small figure leaped down from the low wall of the alley, holding two daggers behind his back , In an instant, the blood splattered, and a piece of flesh on the boy's neck flew out abruptly.

Levi!

The little figure fell to the ground, and I finally recognized him who was tightly wrapped, my God!Lee, what are you doing here? !

"Levi!" I didn't care about the blood splashed on my body, I ran forward to grab him in two steps, "You boy! Let you sleep well at home, what are you doing here?!"

"Little bastard!" Before he could reply, I slapped his ass hard.

"Angie! Calm down, okay?!" Levi shook my shoulder vigorously, "Angie! I'm fine! You were almost killed by him, do you know that!"

As he shouted, my breathing gradually became steady.

Yeah... If it wasn't for Levi just now, I... I might...

Angelia, you are so fragile, what will Levi do if you are gone...

I was speechless, stood up slowly, and moved back home with one foot deep and one shallow.

Levi, behind me, followed me silently.

Speechless all the way.

I took off all the blood-stained clothes on me and Levi, opened the small incinerator and threw them in.

He wiped the floor hard again, and forced himself and Ri-chan to soak for an hour each.

Levi followed me silently.

It was very late, and I lay on the bed, wrapping myself tightly in the quilt.

Levi opened the door to my room silently, got under my blanket, and hugged me from behind.

"Li Jiang!" I turned around and cupped his face, "You are a boy, how can you sleep with a girl? Go back to your own bed, be obedient!"

Since his mother died that time, I allowed myself to sleep with him for one night, and I have never slept in the same bed with him since then. After all, I am not related to him, so it is not good for him.

"No, Angie." He held my hand, "You are in a bad mood today, I want to be with you."

I didn't answer, and turned my back to him silently, speechless for a long time.

"Levi..." I broke the silence suddenly, "Are you scared?"

"afraid of what?"

"kill."

"Angie, don't be afraid!" Levi turned my body hard, "There is no way! If I don't kill him, he will kill you!"

"I'm not talking about that!" I suddenly raised my voice, "I mean... I killed several people... Are you afraid..."

"Angie, stop! Don't look back, don't think about these things." Levi's voice was suddenly terribly calm, "You remember, I will always support everything you do, you are my angel, my angel Angelia."

what is this……

At that moment, I seemed to see his calmness and bravery that did not belong to a child. Is this the innate trait of the Ackerman family, who is a family of military officers of the royal family?

"Speaking of which... why are you following me?! Why are you disobedient?! Why do you want to do such a dangerous thing?!"

When I thought of Levi secretly following me, I was so angry, this kid, isn't he afraid of death? !

He didn't answer.

"Don't do this next time, do you hear me?!" I lifted his chin, took his little hand and put it on my chest, "I promised your mother! I swear with my heart... "

"Angie!" Levi cut me off suddenly, gripping my hand firmly.

"Your heart, keep it to yourself!" He looked straight into my eyes, "Your heart, keep it to yourself! I am a man, I am the strongest, I will grow up soon, I will protect you !"

For a moment, I froze there.

Keep your heart to yourself.

I'm here to protect you.

"Levi..." I hugged him tightly, letting my tears fall down his neck drop by drop.

"Thank you... Lee-chan... Thank you..."

Thank you, my hero.

I just don’t know if I meet again after ten years of absence, will you still say that sentence, say, I will protect you.

After many days, the incident in the alley where those hooligans died tragically became a turmoil. Accompanied by her mother, Molly finally went to the morgue to point out the guys who had raped her before.

But that innocent expression that belonged to a girl never returned to Molly's face.

"Angie..."

I had just collected Levi's arithmetic homework that day when he stopped me suddenly.

"what happened?"

"Why... why didn't Molly come to see us again?"

Is this a problem?

Has Levi finally figured this out yet?

"Li-chan, have you ever thought about the difference between men and women?" I pulled out the chair and sat back beside him.

He put down his pen and thought for a while, "Women are not as powerful as men. Women can bear children, but men cannot."

"Any more?"

He thought again, shaking his head this time.

"You're right," I patted his head, "but this is only on the surface, and there are deeper things that need you to understand."

"Something deeper?"

"Well, there is a term called social status. I don't know if you can understand it." I paused, "Looking at the entire kingdom, women have lower status than men, and it has been like this for many years. This society treats women better than men." Boys are much crueler, because women are often fragile and weak beings...do you understand?"

Levi nodded slowly.

"Molly was hurt, and we killed the people who hurt her, but that didn't make the hurt on Molly go away...I explained to you that forcing someone to have sex with you is called sexual assault. Molly Li was sexually assaulted. In the understanding of people in this world, this is far different from being punched and beaten. For a girl, this symbolizes fame and purity. By destroying her bones, Molly may never be the same as she was before she was sexually assaulted... and those around her will never see her as the same little girl again..."

"No!" Levi stood up and interrupted me, "But when I look at her, it's still the same as before!"

"You are still young, what you see is different from what those people see." I gently let him sit down, "In a few years, you will gradually understand what I said..."

He lowered his head and didn't answer.

"You have to remember that as a man, you are born strong, and you have to learn to respect and humble the women around you... This is what a man should look like, you know?"

He raised his head, "Angie, I regret that I didn't protect my mother well. I will protect you well in the future, and I can't leave myself any regrets!"

"How can you have no regrets in life?" I smiled and pinched his cheek, "Before you become strong, promise me to protect yourself first."

Molly, never came to see me again.

After a few days, the family moved out without telling anyone where.

For her, her youth may always stay on her way to "date" with joy.

Everything, no turning back.

I hope all the girls, in this cruel world, must protect themselves well when the rights of men and women are still unequal.

protect yourself.

It's time to take Levi to the surface to have a look.

After Levi asked me countless times what the sun was, I finally decided to ask Jerry how to get to the ground without being spotted by the military police.

Fortunately, the hole in "A Choice Without Regrets" actually existed. Today, the two of us slipped out of the hole with a rope while the gendarmerie was changing shifts.

"It's 04:30 in the morning, July 824, 15, and it is estimated that sunrise will be [-] minutes later!"

Levi was very excited, he kept looking towards the east, and finally lived up to his expectations. Today's weather is very strong, and the sun broke free from the horizon and jumped out after a while.

He closed his eyes happily and greeted the rare sunlight heartily.

The child, from birth, saw the sun for the first time.

The sun was shining gently on his fair skin, and his clear gray-blue eyes were shining.

Really beautiful.

I decided to let him play on the ground for a while longer.

It is impossible for me to selfishly take him away from the underground street forever and force him to stay on the ground, and Jerry will not allow me to do so. Without the tempering of the underground street, maybe he would not be able to become the legendary Levi later.

We walked out of the Wall of Sheena, and there was a dense forest outside the city wall. Levi was very surprised by the greenery, the forest was very cool, and there were many birds flying around.

This is all he has never seen.

"Angie! Hurry up!" Levi ran away and shouted back at me, "Let's look inside again!"

I leaned on him and let him play to his heart's content.

No matter how strong you are, you are still just a child.

In the distance, Levi stopped suddenly.

"What's the matter?" I ran forward and followed his gaze. There was a boy with blond hair and wearing a training soldier uniform hiding behind a big tree, as if he was secretly observing the people not far away. log cabin.

"Hey!" I couldn't restrain my curiosity and patted him lightly, but he overreacted and pulled out the knife in an instant and put it on my neck.

"What are you doing?!" Levi quickly pulled out the dagger and was about to rush forward, "Levi, don't move!" I hurriedly stopped him, "Soldier, I don't mean anything, can you put the knife down?!"

I slowly raised my arms, which was a posture of surrender. After confirming that the brown-haired girl in front of me was not a threat, the blond-haired trainer finally put away his knife.

"I'm sorry..." Seeing that several strands of my hair had been cut off, the trainer lowered his head apologetically.

He looks very young, but he is much taller than me. This soldier not only has blond hair, but also has blond eyebrows. His eyes are very beautiful lake blue. I have to say that this is a genuine soldier. handsome boy.

wait... this face...

Isn't this... the Elvin Smith of boyhood? !

I have to lament the wonder of fate, Erwin is of great significance to Levi's life.

According to the formula book, Erwin should only be thirteen or fourteen years old this year.

"what are you doing?"

Before the soldier could answer me, there was a creaking sound, and the door of the cabin was pushed open, and a bald man stuck his head out inside.

Erwin motioned us to squat down, the bald man took a look around, then shrank back, and after a while, two sneaky men came out carrying a sack and put it on a horse tied next to it. on the back.

"They are..." Before I could finish asking, Erwin rushed out suddenly, "Herman! You still don't admit that you hid the supplies! I caught you now, what else do you have? What can I say?!"

The bald man was taken aback, but quickly regained his composure, "Hmph, Erwin, you troublesome brat, if you're sensible, get out of here! This is a matter of the Survey Corps, what does it have to do with you?!"

Wow, he really is Erwin, so handsome!

"Hey! Angie!" Levi tugged at my clothes in dissatisfaction, "Don't be dazed, that big golden-haired idiot will be beaten up!"

I quickly came back to my senses, and then I noticed two men with tiger faces coming out of the wooden house. Erwin drew out his knife without fear, "You are acting like a robber!"

"Humph! Return the robber!" The bald man sneered, "You said that if you died here, who would know except us?!"

Without even thinking about it, I pulled out the dagger on my body and jumped out of the grass.

"Hey! I'm here to fight by your side!"

Pfft, maybe my lines were too straightforward, the scene was instantly cold when I threw this sentence out, the bald man hugged his stomach and laughed, Levi came out with a dagger in his hand, "Angie! Go back!"

"What a beautiful little girl!" The bald man wiped away the tears from his laughter, "Erwin, this is a violation of discipline."

I clearly saw that Erwin's face seemed to turn red.

"Hey," he turned his head to look at me, stretched out his knife to block me behind, "don't care about your business, you go back!"

"Angie, you go back quickly! I'll help him!" Levi desperately tugged my clothes back, but I refused, "Don't be stupid! There are so many of them!" I lifted Levi's collar and threw him Going back to the bushes just now, "Kids, hide away, and watch my sister help the leader deal with these villains!"

Well, I admit that my words have become confused, what kind of leader am I talking about at this time... I am stupid...

Fortunately, none of them paid attention to this sentence, but the bald man boldly stepped forward, "Girl," he seemed to be drooling, "that kid Erwin is crazy, what are you doing with him? Come play with uncle How about playing? Uncle will give you money!"

"Fuck!" Before Erwin could get angry, I jumped up and kicked the bald man several meters away. He flew out and hit the horse's back heavily. He got out of the sack and ran away without a trace.

"You, you, you..." The bald man fell down on the ground before he could say a word, his eyes widened.

The rest of the plot was unexpected. I originally thought that the remaining four people had to go together again. Who knew that they seemed to have lost their backbone, dragged the bald head up and ran away.

I felt that Erwin was instantly blacked out.

Levi patted the dirt on his body and got out of the grass again, the black line on his face was heavier than Erwin, this kid is mad at me.

"What are these?" I went to poke the sacks that fell on the ground, but Erwin picked them up lovingly, "This is a new supply from the Survey Corps. The captain of the little gendarmerie has hidden so much..."

Survey Corps... This story is so attractive...

Levi ran into the cabin, and rushed out after a while, "Why are there so many sacks in that room?!"

"What?!" Erwin's expression changed, and he ran in quickly, and I followed. There were at least 40 sacks in the small room...

"It seems... we can't ship them all out today..." Erwin muttered to himself angrily, suddenly he seemed to remember something, and turned to me with some hesitation.

"You...can you and your brother come here first...to help...Looking at these things, I will go to the Survey Corps to inform the chief...I promise to be back soon!" Erwin rubbed his hands, his face a bit embarrassed .

"Hey, you have to discuss it with me!" Levi suddenly made his classic dead fish-eyed expression, "Do you think we are idle?!"

"Why not!" I patted Levi's little head happily, "Soldier! Go quickly! Go back quickly!"

Erwin was very pleasantly surprised, and trotted out quickly, the black line on Levi's face became heavier, "Angie!!! Are you crazy?! We just came to the ground!!!"

"Okay, I will get you up whenever you want to come up in the future!" I made a face at him, "But this time, it's up to me, okay?!"

Levi wrinkled his nose, "Could it be that you think that golden retriever is handsome, think spring."

"Li Jiang! It's not good to be premature!" I pinched his ear, fool, how would you understand, if I choose to stay with you when this dream is finished, I will completely miss the home court of the attack, It's also impossible to meet their classic characters, and I can't accompany you to witness your heroic era. How could I not be excited when I saw the vivid Erwin today?

It's a pity that you were destined to meet each other when you were young, but after all, you don't know the importance of each other in each other's life. In the future, Erwin will be your belief, and you will be his pride!

Levi was very kind to me and played around the cabin for a day.

What a boring day.

There was a bow and arrow in the cabin, with which I brutally shot a fawn, which became our breakfast and lunch.

However, without condiments, it's so unpalatable!

Until dusk, Levi finally lost his composure. He threw stones and cursed at Erwin angrily, "Hmph! Liar! Big liar! No respect for women! No respect for children! Big liar!"

There was a sound of hoofbeats, and Erwin finally appeared, leading one horse and leading another, but there was no one behind him.

"Sorry!" He hurriedly dismounted, "I ran to investigate the headquarters of the Corps, but I learned that almost all their members have gone to participate in the investigation outside the wall today... Only a few soldiers in the Corps are stationed... But someone has already informed them Sir...tomorrow...tomorrow they will definitely send someone!"

I looked at his serious expression, and suddenly wanted to laugh...

"Big man!" Levi looked up at him with his arms folded with a cold face, "Have you not eaten yet?"

I looked at Levi in ​​disbelief, this brat...it's really okay...

We shared the rest of the venison for dinner, although it was still tasteless, but Erwin gobbled it up, and Levi gouged him again, "Cut, liar."

You are a little liar with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart!

It was completely dark, but I couldn't contain my excitement today, I thought to myself, I moved Levi and Erwin's first meeting almost 20 years earlier!Wow, what a historic moment, these two idiots!

"Li Jiang, do you want to be a soldier in the future? Why don't you listen to your soldier brother talk about the barracks?"

"I don't want to!" Levi gave Erwin a blank look, took off his little cloak and spread it on a clean ground, and nestled down with his back facing us, and after a while he raised his voice again, "Angie! I'll tell you a bedtime story~"

"Just in time!" I was overjoyed again, "just in time for Erwin to tell us a story about giants!"

"..." Levi must have been pissed off, this brat, wouldn't it be that he dislikes me for being too enthusiastic about Erwin?

Erwin scratched his head embarrassingly, "You guys rest, I will go outside to watch the night for you, today, I have really worked hard for you..."

Alas...don't rush away...I haven't heard you talk about your dreams yet!

As soon as Erwin walked out, Levi got up, "Angie, get some rest! I'll help you watch him, the night is dark and the wind is high, lonely men, widows and a child are often times when the crime rate is high! "

I laughed unkindly again.

"Okay! Where did you learn these high-sounding words?! Don't read these criminal psychology books in the future!" I took off my cloak and lay down on the ground, "Levi, do you believe in fate?"

"destiny?"

"Li Jiang, I want to tell you a prophecy!" I pretended to be mysterious, "You will meet him again in 20 years! As I said, you will become a great hero in the future! And he, is Another hero is your hero!"

"What!" Levi snorted softly, "That big fool, I really don't like him!"

"Okay! I won't say anything!" I waved my hand, "Go to bed at ease!"

After all, Levi was still young, and soon he nestled there silently, but I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. After a while, I saw that Li-chan was fast asleep, so I put down my cloak and went out lightly.

"Hey!" I greeted softly. Erwin was drowsy by the fire, but after hearing my call, he regained his energy.

"Hello...Miss Angie."

"The supplies are from the Survey Corps. You are just a small trainer...why are you so concerned?"

"You don't understand." He shook his head, "The survey corps has little supplies, and they were embezzled by these guys, how can this work?!"

"Oh...then you are going to join the Survey Corps in the future?!" I asked knowingly.

"Of course!" He was excited all of a sudden, "I must join the Survey Corps!"

As soon as the Survey Corps was mentioned, this big golden-haired idiot became a chatterbox, what a dreamer!

"Believe me," I lowered my voice, "now, the child sleeping in the house will become the strongest human being in the future, the top scout soldier who can hunt and kill giants." I blinked, "Yes Your best assistant."

"Him?" Erwin looked at me in surprise, "Such a small brat..."

"Don't look at him now! He will grow up in the future!" Poof, what nonsense am I talking about... "Eh... ignore my logic, anyway, if you believe me, you will find amazing things in the future!"

Alas, tonight, I was incoherent!

I thought he regarded me as a lunatic, but he thought about it seriously for a while, then took out a pen and paper from his pocket and handed it to me.

"Then... Miss, can you write down his name and tell me? In this case, it will be easier to find him in the future!"

He didn't look at me, but blushed a little.

I smiled, "Okay, but you have to promise not to tell anyone!"

I picked up the pen and lightly wrote those words on the paper——Levi Ackerman.

Li-chan, forgive me for not being able to accompany you through your heroic era after all, please allow me to add a bit of mystery to your encounter, Li-chan, you have to be your hero!

I finished writing it and was about to hand it to him, but he rubbed his hands nervously, "Well, miss... can you write down your name by the way..."

Oh boy.

I didn't say anything, picked up the pen, and wrote my name lightly.

Murphy William.

I returned the pen and paper to him, "Remember to keep it secret! You have to swear!"

He scanned the paper several times, folded it carefully and placed it on his chest.

Li-chan, if one day I'm gone and you find out my real name from Erwin...don't...it's too sad...

I looked up at the night sky with clear clouds and bright stars.

It's a pity...it's a pity...
