"……no."

I thought I heard wrong, looked up at him, he was facing me, his expression was very serious.

"I don't hate being with you."

it's OK?I frowned.

"Then before?"

"There's a reason for that."

"Because Mikasa doesn't like you being with me?"

"Huh?" He looked confused when he heard me say that, "What's the matter with Guan Mikasa?"

"Aren't you on good terms with Mikasa?"

When he heard me say this, he was confused for a while and then suddenly realized, "Oh, you said this, Mikasa is different."

"Different?" Hearing him say that, I felt confused...

"Mikasa is family."

family?

Are he and Mikasa family?

I suddenly felt cheated.

First of all, from the appearance point of view, the two people have absolutely nothing in common, especially in terms of personality, and the degree to which Mikasa protects Alan is definitely not as simple as that of family members.

Most importantly - that scarf.

I still remember the time when Allen put on the red scarf for Mikasa. At that time, his eyes had a gentleness that I envied. It was the first time I saw him do something for a person with such a gentle posture, that People are Mikasa.

I don't trust him, but my trust is nothing.

After all, they are the protagonists.

"yes."

So I bowed my head and didn't intend to talk to him about this issue any more.

But Allen kept looking at me, with a blunt gaze that didn't hide his emotions, and it made me feel like I was on pins and needles.

I couldn't take it anymore, I closed the file, I was a little unhappy, "Aren't you working?"

I remember he was usually quite busy.

"The work is shared by others, and I will do the rest in the morning." He seemed a little proud.

...I suddenly had a feeling of being cheated.

"So you knew before that that you were coming to me today?"

"It should be said that from today onwards, I will keep a close distance with you most of the time."

"I don't like this kind of surprise." I scowled.

This feeling is very bad, everything about you is being influenced by another person, and you don't know what to do, and you can only accept it silently.

"I'm sorry," he stood up, but looked at my face and hesitated whether to approach me, "I didn't expect you to be angry."

"It's not your fault," I picked up a pen and tapped on the table lightly, "but it's related to you."

He had a bitter face this time, looking a little annoyed.

I won't admit that it's nice to see him annoyed.

Well, absolutely not.

It turned out that for the first time I wasn't leaving alone after work was done.

Alan has been following me, and I don't know what he is thinking. He glanced at me when he was about to leave, and glanced at me when he was going out, and then glanced at me again when he and I walked to the streetlight not far away. .

"Eve!" Charles ran across the street, holding a rose in his hand, "What a coincidence, I met you here."

"Hello." I greeted him and received a rose that was handed over.

This is obviously a rose just bought from the market, with morning dew on it, it can be seen that it has been carefully cared for by the flower farmer, and every petal is delicate and red.

As luck would have it, I turned it silently.

Roses are my favorite flower.

"Do you like it?" Charles smiled happily, "I thought of you when I saw it at the market, I think it suits you very well."

"Well, thanks." I just smiled at him.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Charles looked a little nervous, "I heard that Hina's restaurant has recently released some delicious fruit tarts, I think you should like it..."

"Do you still have work tomorrow?" Allen suddenly intervened. I thought he would just stand by and watch, and maybe avoid it for a while.

"Work can be shared by others." After all, his work is also shared by others.

"But there's still me." He pointed to himself seriously.

"You are also one of the jobs," I patiently explained to him, "and can be shared."

Allen avoided silently, but he didn't go far. I suspect that the angle he stood at was for the convenience of eavesdropping.

...I should be thinking too much.

"So did you agree?" Charles hurriedly asked me.

"Yes, when will I see you tomorrow?"

"When do you want it?"

"After I get off work?"

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow," he waved at me, turned and walked across the street, "you'll have a nice dinner!"

Judging from my current contact with Charles, his biggest characteristic is cheerfulness and simplicity.

This is what Charles showed me.

At least he seemed like a nice guy.

Maybe I just like such cheerful people...

"Finished?" Allen over there couldn't help but move over here.

"I'll take you home first," I led him towards his house, "other people should be responsible for the rest of the matter, right?"

I don't think they will let my ex-wife take care of Alan for a whole day, right?Mikasa will definitely oppose it to the end.

"Well, the current setting is like this."

…………

I walked with him in silence.

……wait? !

"What do you mean now?" I looked at him thoughtfully, "Does it mean that I will protect you for a whole day in the future? The Survey Corps should not be so short of people..."

Yes, isn't your number already increasing? !Although you are called a monster, you are still a human hero in the eyes of the common people... Shouldn't there be many supporters around the hero? !

Don't play with me like this...

"But Almin said that night is the easiest time to relax!" Although Alan's tone was firm, he was obviously hesitant in his heart, so he said this while looking ahead, "Actually, when I came, they didn't have a specific When did you say I want you to stay by my side..."

It's not that I didn't say anything specifically, for me I didn't say anything...

"...They just sent you here." I think I should remind him that I don't know anything now, and Ymir just temporarily took me to the Survey Corps to let me know that he is going to cooperate with the Survey Corps In addition, I have to work as Alan's bodyguard.

Even sending him home was just a decision I made without authorization. After all, there is not enough information. Our law enforcement department needs a lot of information support when carrying out tasks. Only a fool would do things with a blind eye.

There is still a feeling of being played by someone...

He started to frown. I am very familiar with this expression, but this is the first time I saw him frown like thinking. I have to say that he looks the best when he smiles, although the serious eyes are quite attractive when he frowns .

"...Anyway," he didn't come to a conclusion, I shrugged first, "let's take you home first."

When I arrived at his door, I met an unexpected, or expected person.

Seeing Alan and I appearing, Mikasa who was sitting in front of Alan's house stood up, his originally calm face smiled when he saw Alan, but when he saw me...

...Although it's my fault for disturbing the atmosphere, it can't be my fault, Mikasa.

Next is the time for the protagonists to love each other.

Thinking of this, I felt a little stuffy in my chest, so I turned around and planned to leave silently.

"Eve," but Allen stopped me, probably because the wind picked up in the evening, and I felt the clothes flutter, "See you tomorrow?"

Does such behavior make sense?

Walking on the way home, the sky was getting dark, I thought about everything today, there are too many places to complain, all of this is too unreasonable.

Just let Alan take me by my side for half a day, even if I am protecting him?Erwin, what's the point of doing this?

But compared to these, the sound of footsteps behind him seems to be more noticeable...

The footsteps were not heavy but not light, slightly messy, with the sound of soles rubbing against the ground, and heavy breathing.

Looks like he's a drunk, come to me to get drunk when he's drunk?

It seems that the law and order around here needs to be strengthened.

I stopped this alcoholic at the next corner. He was as drunk as I imagined, his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were slightly squinted as if he was sleepy, even if he was pressed on the ground by me, the look in his eyes was very uncomfortable. Comfortable.

"Hey..." When he opened his mouth, I smelled a bit of the smell of wine, and my hands tied behind my back struggled a bit, "I'll take you to have fun...Hey..."

I reached out to my waist and touched a gun, and touched it to his forehead. The cold touch of the gun woke him up for the most part.

He started begging me for mercy, and I didn't want to just let him go, so I knocked him out with the butt of a gun, and when I walked halfway, I thought about it and then turned back, giving him a hard kick in the ribs.

In case he gets drunk like this in the future, it won't work, at least let him remember this lesson.

But I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to me. Most people will behave a lot more when they see the uniform of the Law Enforcement Department on my body.

When I got home, Ymir was already asleep, and I went back to my room without disturbing him.

Although there was a date on the next day, I didn't feel nervous and anticipating. I went to work as usual, but I met Alan waiting at the door.

He was sitting directly on the steps. A group of children were playing marbles not far in front of him. His eyes followed the movement of the marbles, and his chin with one hand highlighted the curvature of his side face, because the children were fighting fiercely. , His brows were tightly wrinkled.

I walked up behind him and he didn't respond.

"Ellen?"

"It's a pity, it was almost..." He muttered regretfully.

I looked up at the pile of marbles, but saw nothing.

At this age, I am still fascinated by children playing marbles...

"Ellen."

This time I changed to a harder tone, and Allen immediately turned his head.

I just saw something flickering in his eyes, and it seems that there is something suspicious moving behind him, which is also one of my illusions, right?

"You woke up so early." He got up and patted his pants, looking at me with a very energetic look.

"Not as early as you." I usually get up at 07:30 in the morning, and I can go to the Law Enforcement Department at about 08:30, and he looks like he is waiting here very early.

"Why so early?"

"Wait for you, I don't know what time you go to work."

Why did you come so early?

I am very puzzled.

Just because I don't know what time I go to work?

I found that I couldn't understand Alan a little bit.

But maybe I never understood him.
