Inside the walls of Sheena, on the outskirts of the farm.

It's early September, and Ian and Heatria, in a straw hat, are strolling through the meadows.

They walked on the stone-paved path, and the clear stream on the side of the road flowed.

The abundant summer sun made the plants flourish, the grassland was green, the golden sunlight broke through the gaps in the leaves, butterflies and dragonflies flew by, and Ian looked up and the sky was clear like a giant sapphire.

Heatheria paused, holding down her straw-woven hat.

A gust of wind blew, the leaves rustled, her long dress moved with the wind, the sky was white and white, and everything was peaceful and peaceful.

"Isaiah was sent home, and yesterday his country's ship arrived at Parady Island and picked him up." "He's on his way home," Ian said. ”

"Is the result of the review out?" Heatheria asked.

"Came out, the censorship agency checked his identity in the list of soldiers who did not return provided by the coalition forces in the Middle East, his country is a poor country in the Middle East, before joining the coalition army, he made a living by stealing coal, and only later was forcibly conscripted into the army by the coalition forces, he did not kill anyone on the island." Ian stepped forward: "He has three younger brothers and two younger sisters, and he says he misses his family. ”

"I told him that Paradis Island would send him home safely to be with his family, and he thanked me until I left."

"yes. Let's hope he can come home safely. Heatheria stroked the hair hanging from her ear.

The two of them continued on their way, holding large scissors in their hands, which were special tools for shaving sheep.

They came to the sheepfold, where Dinah and Jike were in the sheep pile, and the sheep bleated and bleated, their fluffy fur like marshmallows.

Ian stepped forward, grabbed the sheep's chin with one hand, and knocked the sheep down with the other, grabbing its two upper hooves.

The sheep were very obedient and sat down on the ground obediently.

Ian picked up the big scissors and sheared the wool off the sheep's belly, as if he were picking up the sheep's clothes.

He has been doing this job since he was a child, this errand for him, it should be called returning to the old post, although he has not done farm work for many years, but his craft has not regressed, and long-term skill practice has made his skills more dexterous.

But today they are not here to work, but to rest and relax.

Soon he had shaved a sheep, and Dinah was amazed and clapped her hands.

"It's amazing."

"Miss Dinah, let's try it too." Ian handed the scissors in his hand.

Ian helps control a sheep, and Dinah, under his guidance, shears the sheep.

Dinah was cautious for fear of hurting the little sheep, which was a novel experience for her.

She had never been so close to a flock of sheep, and she patted her chest in relief as she finished cutting a handful of hair, and immediately held the scissors up to show off to her son.

She tries to keep the sheep under control and asks Jik to try it too.

Jike scratched his head and fought hard at his mother's behest.

"Teach me too," said Heatheria Lara Ian's cuffs.

Ian didn't say much, and skillfully knocked down the other sheep.

At noon, the owner of the farm offered them lunch, simple bread with grilled pork chops.

After the meal, Ian and Jike stood outside the railing of the sheepfold, and the two of them talked to each other individually.

"Mr. Jike, how are you doing these two months?"

Jik leaned against the railing, glanced sideways at Dinah, and waved to his mother.

"Frankly, I'm not comfortable with it, my mom is too enthusiastic."

"Do you hate this enthusiasm?"

"No, it's not annoying." Jike shook his head: "As you said at the time, I didn't really perceive the joy of life all this time, and I was obviously looking forward to living with my mother. But he doesn't want to face his own heart. ”

"I didn't think about anything for these two months, every day I just stayed with my mom, she played dodgeball with me, cooked for me and knitted me a shirt. I feel very happy. ”

"For her, being able to live like this with Ling is her only wish." Ian said.

"But I only have two years left." Jike looked at his palm in confusion: "Although nothing has changed, thank you, no matter whether your guess about the ancestor's intention is correct or not, thank you for allowing me and my mother to have such a chance to get along." ”

"Mr. Jike, remember what I said to you two years ago? That may be the way to liberate the soul of the ancestor Ymir, who has wandered for two thousand years. ”

Ian stared at the bare sheep in the sheepfold that he had shaved, and the little one who had cut his hair was relieved and was munching on the bran cake.

"Of course I remember, isn't it because of this that I came to the royal capital at your suggestion?" Jike said: "You said that if I lived according to my free will, I might be able to free the ancestors, but now, hasn't nothing changed?" ”

"Nothing has changed," Ian whispered, "No, there's one more person who hasn't made a choice." ”

"Wait, tonight is the last night."

That night, many people came to the farm.

Yumir, who was holding a snack bucket, stuffed chicken nuggets into her mouth, and she looked slightly rich.

Pique, Jike, and Dinah sat on the same side, chatting about the current situation in Anding.

Hannes and Mick stood straight, they were dressed in military uniforms.

Alan, Mikasa, and Armin, sitting together, arrive at the farm during the day and participate in the shaving of sheep in the afternoon.

Elwin, Hanji, Levi, and other high-ranking figures of the government and the military, such as Pixis, also came, all sitting in the same room.

All the giants of wisdom are here, including Ian.

Erwin and Hanji's faces looked a little solemn, although the war was over, there were still many busy matters to be attended, liaising with representatives of various countries, setting a meeting time, and establishing a world peace alliance

As the victorious nation, Paradis Island had to take on these leading tasks, but in such a busy time, Ian called them here.

Whether Ian has any ideas for what's next, whether he's going to push the next big technology, they're speculating about that kind of thing.

It can be said that Ian was the only one who pushed Parady Island to be where it is today, so Irwin, Hanji, including Pixis, Hannes and others, all felt that Ian had to make some important decision to bring so many people together.

Ian did make an important decision, but no one was prepared for it.

"Sorry to call you here." Ian took off his hat and bowed: "I'm glad to have worked with you all these years, it may surprise you, but this is really what I really think in my heart, I have thought about it for a long time, and I have made this decision, please allow me to resign as the chairman of the Senate, and from today, I will no longer be involved in matters related to my position." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone saw an illusory shadow appearing under the dim kerosene lamp.

Alan and Dinah froze, it was the Ancestor, they had seen it many times within the coordinates.

The so-called power of the Ancestors, all the power comes from her, and the power of the Ancestral Giants depends on her existence.

The more Eren used the power of the Ancestors, the more he could feel that the kind of thing in him could not actually be called a "power", if anything, it should be called a "license", a "license" to borrow power from the ancestors.

"Ancestor Ymir, this is my answer." Ian looked up, looked up at the girl holding the sandcan, and stretched out his hand.

The girl walked over slowly, staring at the people in the room.

Everything changed in an instant, and everyone left the room.

Alan looked up at the starry sky with the aurora and the dust on the ground, the tree-like bifurcated light connected to each of Ymir's people.

"It's . Coordinates"

"Why. I obviously didn't use the power of the Ancestors."

"Aunt Dina and I obviously didn't have contact, why did I come to the coordinates!"

He was visibly panicked, and an unknowable change had occurred.

The Ancestor Ymir, with her own consciousness, pulled everyone into the coordinates, which has never been the case since the birth of the power of giants.
