Always Be With U [Levi X Petra]
Part (25)

"Titan 7 m and 5 m! 4 O'clock!"

"Form as usual! Put Eren in the middle!"

"Good, Captain!"

Petra directly positioned herself in front of Eren. Gunther on the right, Oluo on the left, while Eld in the front. Levi watched the movement of his squad from behind.

Eld who as the vice-chairman of the squad immediately gave a code that he and Petra would act first as a diversion. Petra nodded in understanding and immediately pulled out both swords, not forgetting to also accelerate the pace of his horse.

However, suddenly their attention was all distracted due to Eren's exclamation.

"Oluo-san is! To your left!"

Spontaneous man named behind Bozado was looking towards the left and..

A 3-meter Titan who was hiding, but the distance was very close was staring fiercely at him.

"The two of you are fast away - Oi Eren!" levi shouted to Petra and Oluo. However, the undercut-haired man was surprised when Eren immediately acted without warning. The Yeager boy intended to slash the Titan's hand which almost captured Oluo's body.

"Feel this!" Eren bravely floated his sword and slashed the Titan's hand, and as a result the huge creature lost its focus and fell down. "Successful!"

Without waiting for Oluo who was still shocked in shock, Petra directly stuck his hook and cut his nape.

While Eld and Gunther who were in the front line also managed to kill the two Titans. Of course they are very confident if they are in the forest, because it will be beneficial for them. The number of footings that can be used will increase the chances of killing Titans from various coordinates.

"Oluo-san, are you okay?" Eren approached Oluo who looked still silent with a blank look.

"How come I don't see a Titan that big.."

"I. It's not your fault. I also just realized and just saw it. That Titan seems to be good at hiding."

Oluo suddenly slapped his own cheek quite tightly, making Eren flinch in shock. "It was me who messed up the formation."

"It's an accident. No one can predict. Better be thankful that your life is still there."

"Hoo, just tell me you're worried about me, huh, Petra?"

Oluo immediately complained of being hit on the back of his head. "Take out your tongue, I'll cut it right now!"

Eren shook his head in wonder, will the two of them be forever like this?

"You were cool, Eren! Your abilities are increasing. Nice work!" Petra patted Eren's head, making the boy instantly blush. "T-not really. Thanks, Petra-san! You were so cool too!"

"Your instincts and dexterity increase. Such an incident is beyond prediction," said Levi while getting off his horse, did intend to check the condition of his squad members. "Oi boy! Don't act stupid like that!"

"Good! I'm sorry, Captain!" eren.

Eld and Gunther who had just joined were immediately dropped from the horse because it was felt that the captain was conducting an impromptu evaluation.

"Pardon me! It happened because of my mistake. I've messed up the team formation."

They were all surprised. Nope. Not because of Oluo's speech, but because his tone was accompanied by a cry.

Levi directly held onto Oluo's shoulder. "Warriors shouldn't cry."

Oluo immediately stood up straight, wiping his tears while pulling snot on his nose.

"Hey, at least use that cravat!" petra exclaimed with a beaming face.

"Petra, can't you see I'm sad? And again. this cravat should always be clean." Oluo glanced at the cravat that Levi was wearing.

Petra understood the man's intentions and immediately snorted in annoyance. It was like he said, 'Shouldn't be comforted, Captain.'

"Haahh, try to count how many times have you fought today.." Eld sighed tiredly.

"Why are you always being so bad to me? You know I'm nagging" Oluo immediately cut off his own words. Embarrassing. I almost acted stupid in front of the Captain.

"Yes, I love your nagging, Petra."

Petra looked confused, not understanding. "You sick or what?"

In a matter of seconds. A quiet atmosphere enveloped them. If asked the reason, it was because they heard a loud shout from their midget captain.

"Have you?"

They all fell silent while bowing their heads and tightly locking their mouths. Congratulations to them, punishment will surely await.

"We continue the exercise."

Levi first climbed his horse, followed by everything, except Oluo who was still staring at the caramel girl for quite a long time.

A difficult look to interpret.

No. gabe. It's just my carefree feeling..

Teng! Teng! The down!

The sound of bells sign of the gate opened echoed throughout the hearing of the living beings who were always inside the protective wall. Although there were only a few horses and riders and freight-carrying horses stepping up, it did not diminish the cheers of the citizens who welcomed their arrival.

"Thank God! They're back safely!"

A lot of thanksgiving was going around them. Secretly the newcomers, including Petra, were relieved. Really, just a welcome has made the lives of the warriors meaningful. Those who fall and those who survive do not regret defending the land of their lives.

"Gld!"

The shout suddenly made the owner of the name come down from his horse and hug the caller. Yeah, that caller was Eld's lover, Elisha. Reportedly they will be engaged after the 57th expedition later.

"Captain Levi! Thank you for bringing Eld home safely!" The one who said it was the mother, bowed respectfully.

Levi replied with a small bow. "He can go this far."

"SOR OLUO!" Suddenly, a group of children rushed towards Oluo.

"You guys! What if the horse ran?!"

The boys laughed loudly showing their teeth, some were toothless some were intact neatly, while tailing behind the brother.

Petra who saw that boasted a big smile, "Hey, you guys miss Oluo?"

"Surely, Brother Petra. How many times has Oluo bit his tongue?" ask one of Oluo's younger brothers.

Petra tried hard to hold back the laughter. "Maybe it has been more than a hundred times. You can check it yourself. It might be split in two now."

"Petra, look out for you!" shout Oluo.

The hazel girl immediately laughed out loud, unaware that she had been beside her captain who was looking at her somehow.

"Hoo, Gunther."

The voice came from an old man who is known to be Gunther's father. Gunther approached his father.

Ah, I'm sure Dad didn't come to pick me up. Maybe now he is resting in bed, Petra murmured. The girl just hopes that her arrival later at home can make her father happy.

"Sister Petra."

Petra instantly regained consciousness from her daydream as one of the boys pulled the edge of her shirt. "Yes? Sorry, you're Oluo's sister, right? I forgot your name."

The boy nodded steadily. "I'm Samuel, Samuel Bozado."

"alright. I'll try to remember. What's up, Sam?"

"Where's Uncle Rall? I don't see him here." Sam is looking for the whereabouts of Petra's father. "I'd like to thank you for buying me fish crackers back then."

Wakeless. Hearing the confession Petra felt very happy and grateful to have a good family. Again he could only give thanks, for him it was enough.

"Samuel! What did you ask?!" Oluo glared, as if he had heard his sister's words. Petra beckoned 'it's okay' to Oluo.

"That's.. Uncle Rall is sick. Now he is resting at home. Shall I say?" Petra smiled gently at the boy.

"M-tiger brother! Oh yeah, I can't go see Uncle?"

"Of course I can."

"Thank you, Brother Petra!" samuel exclaimed as he dashed to the side of the road, as Levi's squad was about to leave the settlement.

Petra waved her hand at Samuel. Then, he realized that the captain stopped his horse's steps. The other reflexes stopped.

"What's up, Captain?"

The two sapphires turned their eyes towards Petra. "You can go home first if you want."

"Eh?" Two seconds later, he realized the meaning of his captain's words. "O-oh no need, Captain. We better get to headquarters first. I can visit Dad after."

"It's okay, Petra. Later we will give the mission report," Gunther said.

"Don't. I'm even worse off if I don't come with you."

"All right." Levi returned to his favorite dark horse, followed by the five humans who always behind him.

Then people are almost invisible again because the clock has shown ten o'clock at night. The night sky had covered the sun completely and told the bright moon to take its place.

Here, right in front of the wooden door measuring 200 × 120 cm, stands a girl who looks restless. He did not know what to behave like if the head of the family met him.

Did he have to say "Dad! I'm home!" with a cheerful face?

But his heart was very sad. Really want to cry. But then again, the girl realized that she should not be like that. For him, a soldier who has just returned to his duties must welcome the people around him, especially his beloved family.

With a rhythm of breathwork, careful preparation and mature facial mimicry, he inserted the spare key of his house and turned the doorknob slowly, preparing to welcome what and who was inside.

"Dad! I'm home!"
