"Hmph...... A loss is a loss, and Petra is your team from now on. ”

Commander Levi, who also knew that the other party was deliberately trying to limit the number of kills to the same number as them, threw down such a sentence very unhappily, and then immediately turned and walked away.

"Captain Leigh and Levi ......"

Behind Levi's growth, Oluo and the others were stunned by the obviously angry decision he made, the other party never mentioned Petra again, as long as they honestly accepted the defeat and recognized the other party's status, the other party would not use this bet to shame them, this is simply a bet that does not have to be fulfilled.

- Besides, didn't the other party take the initiative to say that it was a "tie", and there was no need for Captain Levi to send Petra out for the sake of face.

"I'm sorry, about half of the bet was a joke, and if you don't want to, you don't have to force yourself to join my team."

Behind Petra, who was sadly looking at the stubborn back of Commander Levi, Chu Xuan's boring voice sounded faintly, but there seemed to be a little apology inside.

But at the end of the day, it was Oloo of Leviban's who took the initiative to stir up trouble, and Chu Xuan, as the leader of the newcomers, was simply forced to fight—even though their counterattack was unexpectedly tough.

Taking the initiative to provoke and resenting the other party for not releasing water and not saving face for himself after losing, that is a gentleman with a sense of superiority, and an elite soldier from a civilian background like Petra can't be so shameless.

"No...... It's because we're not as good as others, and you don't have to apologize. ”

Petra, who had tears in her eyes, turned around and shook her head gently at Chu Xuan, and said in a rather lost voice.

"Also...... Thank you for saving me.

But I'm sorry, as a member of Levi's class, I can't just leave. ”

After sincerely expressing her gratitude to Chu Xuan, Petra replied with a firm look in her eyes.

"A man wants a face, and a tree wants bark," was the surname of Commander Elivi, and even if he had said something like that on the spur of the moment, it would have been almost impossible to retract his decision later, but......

That's fine.

Thanks to this, Petra finally made up her mind to explain her long-standing feelings to Commander Levi, and in this regard, she should also thank Chu Xuan for helping her make up her mind.

If the confession is successful, then she wants to retire from the Survey Corps and get married; If the confession fails...... At least she didn't have to be embarrassed to continue facing Captain Levi.

"If there's anything else you need to do in Leviban, please take care of it as soon as possible."

Chu Xuan nodded at her expressionlessly, and said as if he understood very much.

"Huh? I—I didn't say I wanted to join your team, did I? ”

For some reason, seeing Chu Xuan like this, Petra's heart suddenly panicked, but this was definitely not "tsundere", just like when facing Captain Levi, she was also unable to face Chu Xuan calmly.

Or rather...... She was ashamed and frightened of something hidden deep in her heart that even she didn't know, but could vaguely perceive, and she should have ...... But now it'......

Perhaps it was another ...... that prompted her to make up her mind to show Commander Levi Even the most important reason.

"You're talking about 'you can't just leave,' not 'you can't leave.'"

And...... I don't think Captain Levi is going to change his decision. ”

Chu Xuan, who had reflective glasses, glanced at Petra and replied in a calm tone.

Maybe Petra was thinking too much, she always felt that Chu Xuan's words seemed to have a deep meaning, as if he already knew everything.

"Anyway, I'll go to Captain Levi one more time."

Petra's face turned a little crimson and she threw down such a sentence, and then immediately ran after her comrades in Levi's class.

“……”

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, silently looked at Petra's petite and cute back, and only after half a minute did he turn around and say to Hrista, Ymir, Sasha, and Mikasa:

"Let's go, we may need to stop the giant two or three more times before we reach the Wall of Hena.

It will take time to gather the residents of the villages, towns and cities along the route, and it will also be necessary to take away as much food and other daily necessities as possible. ”

"Ah...... Yes, at such a tense time, you, Lord Chu Xuan, still have the leisure to play with flowers. ”

Yu Mierpi sarcastically mocked Chu Xuan without smiling, but Chu Xuan didn't react, and this kind of ignorance made her feel even more angry.

"Hey! What the hell do you think!

If so, haven't you already achieved your goal, and although you say, 'If you don't want to, you don't have to force yourself to join my team,' you don't do that at all.

Even if you occasionally want to change your taste, change it to me, Sasha, Ani...... And Mikasa isn't worse than that woman, right? You don't have to go far! ”

The self-aware freckled woman Yumir finally asked the doubts in her heart, now is not during the battle, Chu Xuan wants to use that kind of "unspeakable reason" perfunctory, she will never agree.

"Yu-Ymir!"

Hrista nervously tugged at Yumir's arm, and looked cautiously at Mikasa out of the corner of his eye, Yumir's words just now pulled Mikasa, who had just lost his "lover" Allen, into it, even if Mikasa was immediately furious, it would not be an exaggeration.

“……”

Sensing Hrista's gaze, Mikasa, who had been extremely silent since Allen's death, and whose expression was completely closer to Chu Xuan, just raised his eyelids and glanced at her, and then lowered his eyelids like Arnie, not knowing what to ponder there.

And Sasha, although she still looked stupid that only knew how to eat, but even if she was as dull as her, she heard Ymir's already quite straightforward words, and scratched her cheek with her fingers a little shyly, and did not say anything amazing.

"I've already said it, because I can't say it, I have to try to protect her."

Chu Xuan didn't ask Yu Mier too much, he repeated his previous answer again, and then bypassed Yu Mier, who was blocking in front of him, and walked over to Ah Ming, Reiner and the others, Mikasa didn't say a word, and naturally followed behind Chu Xuan.

"But, damn fellow...... It's good to be trampled to death by giants when it's good! ”

Behind Chu Xuan, Yu Mier did not hide her anger and gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, but her voice was so loud that even Chu Xuan could hear it clearly.

“……”

Suddenly, Chu Xuan, who had never been as careless as Yumir, turned his head suddenly, stared intently at Yumir's standard boots for a few seconds, and then raised his eyes to glance at Yumir meaningfully, and then took another step.

"Bastard ......"

Yu Mier, who was speechless, immediately changed her face, but this time, although she hated it so much that her teeth were itching, she only dared to squeeze a little scratch out of her teeth, and did not continue to confront Chu Xuan-for-tat, as if she was ......

There was something like Chu Xuan was grasping in his hand.

"Forget it, Ymir.

We should believe Chu Xuan, everyone has a secret or two that can't be said, right?

If he could tell us, Chu Xuan would definitely not hide it from us. ”

As the coordinator between Chu Xuan and Yumir, who had always been at odds with each other, Hrista almost habitually began to comfort Yumir, who had lost to Chu Xuan again, but this time, looking at Chu Xuan's straight back, there was a little worry and sorrow in her eyebrows.

Not only is it the member of the investigation corps surnamed the female surname who should have met for the first time, but it is impossible for her not to care about Mikasa's situation.

Mikasa, who had always seemed to be interested in nothing but Allen, why did she follow Chu Xuan immediately after Allen's death, instead of going to find Amin?

And the key that Chu Xuan once took out, what exactly is it? Is it related to "unspeakable reasons"? Why did Mikasa immediately make some kind of decision as soon as he saw that key? Did that decision also have something to do with Chu Xuan? (To be continued.) )
