Chapter 40 (for the blue and white stripes of Sakiya) curl tail

"Is it really good to do that?"

Mikasa, who had changed into casual clothes, asked Hrista who was wearing a simple long skirt beside her.

At this time, Khrista did not have any jewelry on her body, and her long gray-white plain skirt looked like that of a cowherding girl in the pasture.

Even those who knew Hrista would probably need to be carefully identified before they dared to call out her name.

The supreme queen of the world within the walls could be dressed like this? I'm sure anyone who knows will drop their jaws.

"What's wrong?" Christa pursed her lips, and in front of Mikasa, she was like a little girl who had fallen in love, completely devoid of Queen Eldia's momentum.

"I'm relieved to have you by my side." Christa spun around in front of Mikasa, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward with her upper body, and winked at Mikasa, looking like a lively girl.

Hrista quipped, "Could it be that Mikasa Ackerman, the head of the dignified gendarmerie regiment, the captain of the opposing unit, and the strongest guard of the royal family, will not be able to protect her lover?" ”

Mikasa smiled helplessly, she really couldn't do anything about Hrista in this state.

"Let's come back in a circle, isn't it a matter of course for us to be the queen and inspect our people?"

"Hi~Hi~" Mikasa thought to himself, "How can there be such a patrol?" Are you doing this a private interview with Weifu? Is it that after turning around, there will be a travel article published in the daily newspaper of royal power? ”

"Let's go buy tickets!"

Mikasa grabbed Hrysta's palm and made his way to the train station closest to the royal city.

After deciding on the route on the map, the two men bought train tickets and set out on the journey.

......

"Tutu Tu Tu Tu Tu ~ "

In the rhythm peculiar to the steam engine, the steam train moves slowly forward.

There weren't many people who could get on the train here, and there were only two people in the whole passenger carriage, Hrista and Mikasa.

After the flight attendant finished checking the tickets, Hrista kept staring out the window.

Many aristocratic gardens have moved into new owners, and now the parliament has long since changed, and many nobles only have empty titles and no real power.

Hrista knew that most of the power was in the hands of the man behind Mikasa.

It was only after the steam train passed through the aristocratic area that Hrista came to his senses.

"I've seen him."

Such an unclear sentence silenced Mikasa.

"I can't believe that there are people in this world who are even more beautiful than Mikasa." Khrista suddenly laughed, "Although he is a man. ”

Mikasa can't talk about it, after all, her love for Hrista is not so pure, and now that she is involved in the master, it is better to talk less and listen more.

"I believe he can build Eldia well, isn't it a constitutional monarchy? Very reasonable things, and those new deals, everything is for development, for the people to be able to live a better life. Herestad paused, "He's really good, and I sometimes wonder if he would be the blood of the royal family." ”

Mikasa: "......"

Hrista turned around and reached out to clasp Mikasa's arm, resting her little head on Mikasa's shoulder.

"Any idea what I'm really afraid of?"

Mikasa thought for a moment and replied, "Lost your freedom? ”

"Of course not!" Christa's tone was a little agitated, "I'm afraid he's going to snatch you away from me!" After all...... All I have is you......"

Mikasa reached through the hair that had slipped down her face and said gently, "I will always be with you." ”

"Hmm." Christa's voice was like that of a kitten, and half of her body snuggled into Mikasa's arms and slowly fell asleep.

Mikasa looked up at the empty carriage and then out the window.

She still remembers that day.

With the blade in his hand, he killed the man with the same surname as Kenny Ackerman, and with the power of Miss Kamiyo, he killed the oversized deformed giant that Herrista's father had become.

After Hrista was proclaimed the new king by the nobles, the master immediately summoned the energy of the Chamber of Commerce to take down all the nobles who had previously opposed him.

It turns out that the talents taught in the Destiny Chamber of Commerce Industrial Park are great, and Eldia is able to run without hindrance, thanks to them.

"Do I want to meet my master this time?" Mikasa thought.

The steam train stopped and stopped, and the number of people in the carriage gradually increased.

Hrista opened her sleepy eyes and asked in a low voice, "Mikasa, where have we been?" ”

"Livestock area, it's almost time to get to your hometown."

"Hometown?" Hearing this, Christa's eyes widened and she looked out the window.

Seeing the cattle and sheep in the pasture and the grazing children, the girl's face swelled with excitement.

"Na~ Mikasa, do you want to hear the story of my childhood?"

"Of course." Mikasa laughed, even though she had heard it at least ten times.

......

"Ruth's Wall has changed a lot." Hrista took Mikasa's small hand, her expression full of excitement and curiosity, like a girl who had just come to the city from the countryside.

Many people passing by the station smiled at the two, but they didn't know that the girl not far away was the owner of everything here.

Mikasa and Hrista rented a steam car, went to the Tenmei Department Store to buy a lot of goods, went to the Sakura Rin under the Mandate of Tendo to eat, and went to ......

There was a constant stream of sounds such as "tutu tu" on the road, and it was rare to see horse-drawn carriages passing by.

In the evening, they opened a room at the Destiny Hotel to rest.

The next day, the two who returned the car chose to travel by steam bus.

As she travels all the way to the suburbs, Mikasa feels like all she thinks about is the sound of a steam engine.

After spending a few days experiencing the idyllic setting, Hrista and Mikasa opted for a steamship to Maria's Wall.

Standing by the railing, Khrista let the river breeze blow his cheeks and looked at the people living and toiling on the shore, not knowing what was going on in his head.

"Mikasa."

"Huh?"

"Remember the refugees who fought back at the Wall of Mary? I heard that they did not die, but that they had established themselves with God's help. Later, when the Survey Corps was about to officially retake the Wall of Mary, they unexpectedly found that all the giants had disappeared! ”

"Haha~" Hrista laughed crisply, "I really want to know what the expressions of those people in the Survey Corps will be when they learn the truth again." ”

“..... Unexpectedly, the Wall of Mary, which was originally the most backward, developed the most rapidly. I heard that they controlled electricity, and electric lights replaced candles and oil lamps...... I heard that Destiny released an internal combustion engine version of the car here...... I heard ......"

Mikasa had been standing beside Herlista, silently listening to her.

Disembarked.

Mikasa unexpectedly bumps into an acquaintance.

"Ackerman?!"

"You ......" Mikasa hesitated for a moment, the thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him, the young man with the middle score was very familiar, but he couldn't remember what the other party's name was for a while.

"Hmm...... Jayger? ”

"Haha! I can't believe you remember me! Alan looked surprised, "Didn't you join the gendarme?" How's it going? ”

"It's okay." Mikasa replied with a smile that not everyone reads the Mandate of Heaven Daily all the time, and the style of painting that time was not particularly exquisite, and many people were blurred by the painted faces, saying that it was to protect privacy.

People who are not particularly familiar with them probably can't guess.

"You're ......" Mikasa glanced at Alan's outfit, and like her, the other party also had a blonde ...... by her side Uh, teenager?

Mikasa vaguely remembered that the other party seemed to be called ...... Amin?

"Ah Ming and I applied for retirement!" Alan touched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "We have partnered to open a medical clinic. ”

"Oh~" Mikasa suddenly realized, and when she looked at Amin, the blonde boy smiled shyly.

"Huh? Isn't this a goddess? Eren glanced at the blonde girl behind Mikasa and called out the other party's "nickname" when he was training the corps.

"You ...... Look at my confusion, I remember that you had a good relationship when you were training the Corps. ”

"Hi~" Hrista leaned over and greeted the two with a smile.

"You guys have any ......" Allen, who had been crawling for a while, immediately swallowed this sentence and changed his words: "This is a trip?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Hrysta hugged Mikasa's arm and smiled, "We're on our honeymoon." ”

"Honeymoon?!" Alan's voice was slightly raised, and he realized that he had lost his temper and coughed twice.

Hrista saw that the blonde boy behind Alan had clearly glanced at Alan after she said this, and the expression on his face was not quite right.

Could it be ......

“...... Congratulations, we're catching a steamer this time......"

After chatting for a long time, the four said goodbye and left.

Hrista was still holding Mikasa's arm, and the index finger of his right hand was stretched out to the side of his face, and the whole person said thoughtfully: "That Armin seems to be a little interesting to Jaeger." ”

Mikasa: "......"

"No matter!" Hrista clasped Mikasa's arms with both hands and asked, "Since you're here, aren't you going to see him?" ”

......
