"Yesterday the people of the counter-offensive force returned, and I heard that only thirty-six people came back alive."

In the small room, Armin whispered, as if a louder voice would scare people to death.

"I know." Alan said, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, "What are you talking about the counteroffensive troops, in fact...... In fact, it's just for everyone to die! ”

Alan said, snapping to his feet. There are also some thin chests that are constantly rising and falling, and the expressions on their faces look hideous.

Mikasa still didn't speak, just quietly watched the lights in the room.

The thin light that almost goes out as soon as it blows, swaying its body in the room hard, but it should be extinguished in the next second, right?

Mikasa thought and subconsciously turned his slender neck. The absence of a scarf on it always made her feel that something was wrong, and even more that it was the man's figure.

He ...... Also...... Is it dead......"

It wasn't Mikasa who spoke, it was an old man. The face is full of wrinkles, and the eyes are drooping.

"If I had been asked to go...... Maybe it won't turn out that way. The old man said, sighing deeply. He can still recall the scene of Liu Mengchao smiling in front of the conscripted gendarmes. The hearty laughter came to the old man's ears silently at this time.

The old man was sighing, and so was his grandson. Armin has been smarter than others since he was a child, so he knows the meaning of his grandfather's words more clearly.

If Liu Mengchao hadn't replaced his grandfather, what didn't come back now would be the grandfather sitting in front of him.

"Perhaps...... Will he still be alive......" Armin whispered, his eyes subconsciously avoiding the two people sitting on the other end.

They are Liu Mengchao's companions, a man who is always smiling, named Zhang Ning. Another good-looking woman who almost forgot to breathe is called C.C.

Their faces were surprisingly devoid of sadness.

"Giants! It's all giants! Alan slammed his fist on the table, "I'm going to kill them all!" ”

That's all it takes. Allen's still immature face was already flushed.

"Liu Mengchao...... Dead? Zhang Ning subconsciously muttered, but C.C laughed before him. The immortal witch has already seen too many people's deaths, and Liu Mengchao ......

Liu Mengchao......

C.C muttered subconsciously and shook his head. She had seen Liu Mengchao's heroic posture fighting in the air, how could such a man die in the mouth of a giant.

It's just nonsense.

"What are you laughing about!?" Looking at the smiling C.C., Alan couldn't help but reprimand, "Isn't Liu Mengchao your companion!" He's dead, you're still laughing at what you're talking about! Alan said, his chest rising and falling violently, "Do you want to attack the giants?" Does that look stupid in your eyes! ”

"Low self-esteem can lead to all kinds of problems." Zhang Ning's voice sounded first, "The most likely thing is to like to occupy the moral high ground, and then condescendingly reprimand others." ”

"You!"

Allen's eyes widened and he glared at Zhang Ning angrily, as if he was about to rush up and scuffle with him in the next second. However, Zhang Ning didn't look at Allen at all, and he only had Mikasa's figure in his eyes. The girl with black hair like satin, but Liu Mengchao took care of herself before leaving.

Liu Mengchao, you don't want to leave it alone, do you? Zhang Ning smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head again. Liu Mengchao is not such a person. He is far prouder than the average person, and the proud person values his promise more seriously.

Said he would come back, and he would definitely come back.

Zhang Ning thought. He couldn't help but close his eyes and raised his head high. It seems that this will be able to get closer to Liu Mengchao.

"Humph!" Looking at Zhang Ning, who closed his eyes and was indifferent, Alan snorted disdainfully, turned his face to his childhood companion and said, "I decided!" I'm going to sign up for the training corps tomorrow! I'm going to be a soldier. Revenge on the giants! What do you guys say! ”

It wasn't so much an inquiry as Alan's words were more like an order.

"I ......" Armin subconsciously tilted his head and looked at his grandfather. I am grandpa's most embarrassing expectation. In case in battle, ...... yourself

Armin thought, and glanced at Allen's face with some embarrassment. The man who was his childhood sweetheart,Now he's asking about his will.。

Dilemma...... For the first time, this term appeared in Armin's mind. The lips that were about to open suddenly trembled.

"If you want to go, you can go." Armin's grandfather smiled and slapped his grandson's shoulder with his generous palm, "I trust your judgment, and besides, I can take care of myself." ”

As he spoke, the corners of the old man's mouth slowly widened, and he smiled at Armin, the corners of his wrinkled eyes wrinkled even more.

"I'm going to ...... too"

Armin said softly, as if those three words had exhausted all the strength of his body.

"What about Mikasa?"

Eren quickly turned his head and stared at Mikasa in front of him like a prey.

It's weird......

Mikasa, who was stared at tightly by Allen, suddenly frowned. The heart, which was supposed to be open to only a few people, always felt that from that day on, strange things were mixed in. The figure was wearing a red scarf.

Is it Liu Mengchao......

Mikasa thought and subconsciously shook his head, wanting to expel Liu Mengchao's figure from his mind. On the other side, Alan shouted excitedly.

"Don't you want to go! Have you forgotten all about it? Allen's face was filled with the anger of betrayal, which made his face, which was still somewhat delicate, even more distorted.

"No......" Mikasa said as he stood up. I saw her take a deep look at Allen, and said vigorously, "Where are you going, I'm going." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mikasa's face darkened, and his steps faltered a little. She walked slowly, but without the slightest hesitation.

Allen, whose face had just shown joy, shouted at Mikasa again at this moment.

"Outside."

Mikasa's answer was briefer.

There was a soft creak, and the door was pushed open by Mikasa.

The moonlight gently caressed the girl's fair face, and her somewhat confused expression.

"Obviously, I'm supposed to be the only one in my heart, but I'm suddenly confused about what." Mikasa thought to himself. The hand was raised by the landlord. Every time she hesitated, she wanted to touch her red scarf. Every touch reminded her of the hellish scene she had had, and Eren who had saved herself from that hell.

Only this time......

Mikasa's brow furrowed even tighter.

Because the red scarf around the neck is no longer there, and the memory that I thought I would never forget is now another fragment.

"Actually, girls look really good with red scarves...... But I think scarves are the romance of men. ”

Romantic ...... for men

Mikasa's brows furrowed even tighter, she couldn't think of what to do, as time went by, Liu Mengchao's words were more deeply imprinted in her mind.

Is it a delusion? Or is it ...... own heart......

No.

Mikasa shook her head violently, her long black hair swaying gently over her shoulders. She looked up. Those eyes, which never seemed to be confused, couldn't help but look at the moon in the sky.

Moonlight seemed to feel Mikasa's intentions as well, and quietly reflected it in her eyes.

"Liu Mengchao...... If you're still alive, I'll be sure to get my scarf back! Mikasa's eyes were a little flustered, but his hands were already clenched tightly.

She had already found a reason for herself to explain her recent confusion. As for whether this reason is true or not, no one should know.

The cool breeze of the night slowly stroked Mikasa's cheeks, constantly ruffling her hair.

Time is slowly moving forward under the accompaniment of this cool breeze. From time to time, there was the barking of dogs, and the noise of people walking around. It's just that Mikasa didn't care at all.

Because she knew that this night would be very long, just like the night that was getting longer and longer after Liu Mengchao left. Can't sleep, upset. Confusion, and the sun always comes out late.

"Mikasa...... It's time to sleep. ”

A good-sounding girl suddenly rang by Mikasa's side. Mikasa looked in the direction of the voice, and saw the girl with a beautiful appearance that even she had to admit, smiling beside her.

“C.C。” Mikasa frowned and said her longest sentence of the night, "What kind of person is Liu Mengchao?" ”

"Liu Mengchao...... Is it? ”

C.C laughed. Looking at the girl's black eyes, Amber eyes blinked, then shook their heads.

"You'll know the truth, but I guess...... He must be a good guy. ”

"Good guys?"

The corners of Mikasa's mouth pursed again, and it was not her style to linger and hesitate like this. So she chose not to say a word, leaned against the wall and looked at the moon in the sky, and then pondered. The hands that were as delicate as white jade were also raised, trying to touch the place where the scarf was originally tied, but found that there was nothing there.

It's just that......

Mikasa frowned. She found that her hand was subconsciously touching her collarbone, instead of hanging empty and not touching her skin.

Have you become accustomed to the days without a scarf?

Another question rose up from Mikasa's heart.

She didn't say it, but chose to bury the question deep in her heart.

"C.C," Mikasa said softly, after a moment's thought, "Tomorrow is coming soon, right?" ”

"Well," C.C nodded, his long pale green hair casually draped over his shoulders, "the sun always rises early these days. ”

"So, do you want to do what you're going to do next?"

"Wait."

"Wait? Waiting for Liu Mengchao? Is he really not dead? Mikasa turned her head away to keep C.C from seeing the expression on her face.

"Definitely not." Hearing Mikasa's words, C.C yawned, "I'll go to sleep first, and don't move too much when I go back to the house at night." ”

With that, C.C walked towards her and Mikasa's room. Even Mikasa herself didn't know what to say, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up in the moonlight.

She was smiling, not because of Allen, but because of Liu Mengchao. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
