Always Be With U [Levi X Petra]
Part (20)

...• • •...

Levi decides to follow Nico directly to his holding cell. It was also approved by Erwin. Together with one Military Police soldier, the three of them head to a special isolation cell for the mob boss who can be said to have given up and resigned it. Some of his men have also been thrown into prison under the auspices of the direct Military Police, including Nial.

"Geez, you're going to keep me company, Levi," Nico sneered.

Levi screeched, "I'm just making sure you won't be able to escape because if that happens I'll slash your neck."

"Yes yes, haahh you're still as creepy as you used to be."

They were in the isolation room at the end of the prison corridor. The room has only one small vent to breathe outside air. The walls are soundproof and there is a dimly lit lamp that is minimal lighting as well. There are closets and beds that are of course far from the word king size. Yes, room criteria are perfect for heavyweight criminals.

The Military Police soldier handcuffed the hands of Nico who had lost two out of ten fingers due to the cruelty of a Levi.

"I'll take care of this pig for a while" Levi told the soldier as he dragged Nico into the room. The soldier immediately gulped his saliva hearing the absolute sharp words of the Elite Squad captain. He nodded in obedience while giving respect.

"Isn't that too sarcastic, honorable captain Levi?" Nico grimaced softly considering it seemed like he had been called 'pig' twice'.

"appropriate for. That's also a regular call."

So. There's something worse than a 'pig' call'..

"Just in person, how did you get to the surface?" levi asked as he folded his hands in front of his chest.

"Huh? You're here just to ask that?"

"Jawab only!"

Nico sighed, "Simple only. I bribed the gatekeeper guarding the border to the top. You know I'm up there just for my business with you! Ever since you, Isabel, and Farlan stole my share, the Black Scorpion set a goal to exterminate the three of you. Your appearance also made my reputation tarnished."

"Black Scorpions, tch. So, it's not just a name for you but your society as well. Also... the part to kill Erwin and steal the scroll of that document?"

Nico nodded, "Because that is also the most important mission for us. Supposedly, the old fucker gave it to us, not the three of you."

"Then..why go after my team too?!"

"Because your team is also part of your life." Nico smiled grinning so that Levi immediately pulled the collar of Nico's shirt.

"Hey hey let go. That was before. Now I've given up, trust me. Just relax, okay?"

Levi smashed roughly into Nico's body, "To death, a bastard like you can't be trusted."

"As far as you are. I just can't believe a wild thug like you could join the Survey Corps led directly by Erwin Smith, it disgusts me. Why do you want to be a Survey Corps soldier? I never saw Isabel and Farlan again. Where are they?"

Levi was stunned to hear the names of his two precious companions called. No, it may be more fitting to be referred to as his second family after the death of Kuchel, his mother. His mind re-enacted the mysterious incident which made him punish himself until now.

"You could say it was all because of my stupidity in the past. In fact, you're lucky you didn't get that part."

"Huh? Whatchu mean?" Nico knitted his eyebrows together, puzzled.

"Instead of Erwin, they both got killed."

Nico successfully widened his eyes in surprise, "Why. can you?"

Nico sighed softly while bowing his gaze, "Then.it leads to Isabel and Farlan?"

"To be precise, they killed both." Levi clenched both of his hands. His jaw hardened and his teeth clenched very tightly.

"Levi.."

"Erwin knows my rotten plan. But, he only told me not to regret making a decision. From then on, I decided to put my trust in Erwin."

"Hoo, now I understand why you threw away your identity in the past."

"Finally your stupid brain is useful too."

"I'd rather have a stupid brain than a midget body like you."

Levi screeched as he stared cynically at Nico. While the one being stared at just chuckled softly, "Joking around.."

"Excuse me, Captain Levi!" The Military Police Soldiers who had been with them had come back. From his passion, Levi knew he would want to say something. Levi shut down the isolation room and made sure Nico could not hear it from the inside. Earlier he gestured first to Nico and Nico nodded in understanding. Although they had a chance to talk, Levi still prioritizes the privacy of the report, both important and not.

"What's wrong?"

The soldier saluted first. "I'd like to inform Chairman Hanji that Miss Rall is conscious."

Levi surprised. His heart was so relieved to hear the news. In his heart he gave thanks. Unknowingly a thin smile was engraved on his sharp face. Does he feel. happy too?

"Thank you for the information. I happen to be done here. You can stand guard now" said Levi.

"Okay, captain!" The soldier returned salute to the extent of Levi from before him.

"Captain!" Oluo, Eld, and Gunther salute upon their captain's return. Previously, Levi had ordered them to wait for him in front of the court building alone. They also prepared the captain's horse.

"We'll be back to base soon. Petra's been human."

Oluo, Eld, and Gunther were excited and immediately gave thanks. "Ready, captain!"

The body that felt stiff and linu made the honey-blinded girl decide to go to the balcony of her room with the aim that her body can relax a little. Breathing the twilight air according to him is also very delicious, especially while looking at the expanse of grass and greenery around the castle. His body was not too able to move freely because of the bandage that covered almost every part of his body, making him feel 'heavy'. However, Petra is grateful she is still given the opportunity to live life with the people she loves.

Petra took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, one of her forms of gratitude. "Dad, I met Revan." His gaze was straight towards the setting sun in the west direction.

"You should thank him because if only he hadn't woken me up, I might have gone to Revan's world, Dad." Petra tucked her hair, adding a pretty impression on the girl.

"You're here apparently.."

The distinctive voice was clearly heard in Petra's ears, making her turn to look at the stature.

It looked as if the tiny, sturdy body was already standing behind him. His breathing looked exhausted, but Petra knew he was trying to neutralize it. The almond-sliced girl presented a gentle smile on her pale face.

"Captain.."
