![Always Be With U [Levi X Petra]](https://pub-808a39b4257a4970ba241a999948d404.r2.dev/always-be-with-u--levi-x-petra-.webp)
Petra tightened the black jacket she was wearing, not forgetting to cover her head with her hood. Put some money in your pocket. Soon he set foot to the bottom of the house, hoping that there was no existence of his father there.
However, the hope is lost because it turns out Mr. Rall is standing with a neat black appearance there, while holding two bouquets of Lily flowers. It seems that he has not realized Petra's whereabouts behind him. It was only after Petra passed by him that the man interrupted calling his name.
"They.."
The hazel girl only stopped her steps, but was reluctant to just turn her head.
"Dad wants to go to your mother's grave and Revan's later in the afternoon."
"You.. still dare to show their faces?" Petra turned to look at her father before coming out, "You have no guilt and no shame. Pathetic."
Mr. Rall could only be stunned to hear his daughter's words. In fact, Petra did not want to call him father anymore. Petra was cold because of her big mistake. Mr. Rall just silently accepted. It all happened because of his stupidity.
...• • •...
The girl, named Rall, has now set foot in a bar that operates on a small road, still in the Trost District area.
"It looks like Dad doesn't know the identity of those people. They're not random people just like Nico said."
He entered the bar. Instantly the smell of alcohol seeped into his sense of smell. Also seen the sight of humans being drunk in the morning.
"But I know a nickname for him, 'The Ruler of the Rat's Way'. The first time I met him was gambling at a nightclub.."
Secretly the girl cursed the jerk Nico who did not tell the name of his nightclub. Is there only one club in this country?
"I'm forced to search from here."
Petra walked towards the old bar guard who was busy wiping his favorite liquor bottles. Luckily Petra is a Reconnaissance Force. If he became a Military Police, he would have handcuffed this old man.
"Welcome! Want to order something?" greet him in a friendly tone.
"No. But, I want to find information here. Are you gonna help me?"
The old man nodded, "Of course, anything for the visitors of my bar."
Petra hopes that he does not misjudge the kindness of this old man. He decided to pull out the bar stool and sit down first.
"Do you know the location of all the clubs here?"
"Hey, Miss. You are still young. I suggest not to a dirty place like that.."
"It's none of your business if I go there."
The old man was instantly chin-backed, probably glaring at his thoughts. "I know there's one in this district, it's called Hejin Club. Even if it is still intact, it was not hit by a previous Titan attack. There are two in Yarckel District, Sazdis Club and Ivory. Another one is in Ehrmich District, Oscar Club."
"There are only four?" ask Petra to make sure.
"Yes. To build such an illegal place takes a lot of effort to hide it. So many people do not know, even the Military Police. Such places usually stand in remote areas."
"so yeah. All right," Petra pulled out a money tip and put it on the table, "This is for you. Thank you for answering me."
"Ah, thanks again, Miss!"
"What. you've heard of.. The Ruler of the Rat Road?"
Suddenly the look on the old man's face looked a little surprised, but managed to hide later because it seemed that the young lady before him was unaware.
"No. I never heard it."
Petra paused for a moment, "Alright. Thank you, sir."
After Petra left the bar, the old man hurriedly approached one of the customers who was sipping a glass of alcohol at the end of the table. The old man immediately whispered something.
"He's the one, Boss."
The customer who heard the whisper smiled skewed until it ended up being a very horrible laugh. Both of his legs were repeatedly knocked.
"My gift.."

"Gunther, you're too slow! If that's how you'll be attacked first!"
"Okay, the homaged Captain Petra!" goda Gunther's. Before long the man immediately got an absolute blow from Petra.
"Hey, why are you so fierce today? Is your mood bad?" asked Oluo while putting on an expression of astonishment.
"What do you care? I always do this when I practice!"
"Yes yes! I'm always the one being prized!"
"Petra, please teach me now," said Eld cutting the fight. Let the result hang from having to see their mouths again. Fortunately Petra immediately agreed, it seems he was also reluctant to serve Oluo now.
Petra pulled out her pocket knife suddenly, making everyone flinch in shock, especially Oluo who jumped directly behind Eld.
"You're this again why the hell?!" yelled Oluo frustrated.
"What's? I just want to start the knife session. Tomorrow's gonna be a knife as usual, right?" Petra swung her knife forward, making the three men spontaneously regress, plus Oluo who also reflexively shouted even louder.
"Whisper! You surprised us, too, fool!" Eld just hit Oluo on the head.
"You kind of want to cut us like Titan's meat.." Gunther added as he shuddered.
"Even tomorrow with a wooden knife, practice using a real knife" Petra said as she put up a swing, "Come, Eld! Use your knife! Don't be like that fool who only dares to use 3D Maneuver."
"Hey, are you talking about me?!" Oluo snorted dejectedly, "I even killed a Titan over ba-CTAASS!!"
And there it is. His tongue was bitten again..
"That's it! Petra, please guide her."
The hazel girl nodded. He immediately put up his ready-to-fight position while tightly grasping the knife in his right hand and directed upwards.
"If the enemy is in this kind of position, your chances of crashing a knife in the front are huge, Eld. Do it now."
"But be careful with this movement. The enemy can deflect your knife. Don't let you lose it, or you'll be cornered."
Eld was always amazed by Petra's teaching, as were Oluo and Gunther. They have often trained together, but never tired of being taught by him. In fact, since the third joint training at that time, they decided not to underestimate Petra's ability. They all teach each other and respect each other's abilities, with the principle of "all must be able".
Unbeknownst to them, Levi had been paying conscious attention. The man appreciates the development of his squad so far. They are great people of their own choice. Levi never regretted relying on them.
A perfect team.
However, immediately the full attention was immediately turned towards Petra who staggered backwards and a few seconds later her body fell to the ground. Soon he stepped foot into the four men who were crowding.
"Petra, are you okay?" eld asked worriedly as he looked at the girl's body, "Is it because of me?"
"I'm fine. It's not your fault. My chest was indeed a little tight earlier," Petra replied half grimacingly.
"Enough your training."
Levi's baritone voice made everything flinch. Since when is the captain here?
"B-well, Captain!"
"Petra, you need to get to the medical center."
Oluo, Gunther, and Eld were quite surprised because they realized the tone of the captain was like they were worrying about Petra.
"No need, Captain. It's just a sudden tightness."
"Don't argue with me! You have to go there!"
"Say no need, Captain!!"
Spontaneous everything was flabbergasted, including Levi who was surprised to hear Petra's reply to him. The girl was now lowering her eyes, unwilling to see the counter expressions of the four men before her.
"Pardon me. Excuse me.."
Currently Petra could only obey her heart's desire to leave that atmosphere.
Why would I dare to hit him again?
...• • •...
Mr. Rall slowly placed the white Lily bouquet he carried over the graves of two people he loved dearly. Two very valuable people in his life.
Sobs were heard, filling the cemetery area that was quite quiet at that time. The body of the 50-year-old man prostrated for quite a while, as the sky accompanied by spilling thousands of clear needles, began to rain down on the earth.
"Marines.. Revan.."
His voice sounded so soft and raspy, even though it was obscured by the sound of rain. That cry, a sign of great regret.
"I don't deserve to live. I deserve to be hated. I don't deserve to be a father to you, Revan.."
Unknowingly the sound of another footstep was approaching him. The figure of the owner of the footsteps was running faster until it was right behind Mr. Rall.
"You don't have to forgive me.. The marine.."
DUAARR!!
...• • •...
The almond iris watched carefully the object in her hand. Chrysanthemum flower bouquet is very beautiful with white color. The beauty of the color seems to bewitch the netra so that the owner was diverted from the rain that was quite heavy.
From such a distance has been seen a collection of tombstones of humans who have finished their duties in the world. It seems that the atmosphere at the cemetery is quite quiet, not many people are on pilgrimage.
The ginger girl muttered, slowly counting each line to find the two tombs she wanted to visit. The line sign of his tomb is not very clear because of the rain. And not for long the girl heaved a sigh of relief at having found him.
Tucked behind the ear her ginger hair strands so as not to block the view. Accidentally the two neutrals caught two bouquets of Lily flowers on top of the tomb, neatly placed.
"Looks like he visited you guys huh? I thought I wouldn't be here after hearing what I said.."
The two gravestones were rubbed until it was clearly seen that two names belonged to the person the girl loved so much.
Revan Rall's. Rall Marine.
"What..is what I'm doing right, ma'am?"
One rhetorical question was spoken and the girl knew her mother would never reply.
Petra sat down, sighing deeply, trying to carve out a smile for her mother and sister, although her whole body began to tremble with the cold.
"How are you guys? Aren't you guys cold in there?" petra asked as she hugged her already soaked body, "If you feel cold, I should too."
The manic is dimming, not because of the rain, but because the clear hair that is ready to fall soaks his cheeks. The sad face was so deep. Once again, it seemed like the world had given a cruel reality to this gentle-hearted girl.
"Hey boy, why do you always want to be heroic, huh?" Petra finally raised her face and stared fixedly at the grave of her sister, "You make me envious, base."
The girl kissed the two gravestones in turn, rubbing them again because she was about to leave the funeral.
"There's a lot I want to tell you, but right now I'm confused where to start," Petra rubbed her eyes, tried to stop crying and let go. Once again, the girl smiled wryly as the final greeting.
"Maybe next time I'll tell you. Please take care of yourself there. I love you guys so much.."
When his heart was relieved to have visited the two people he loved so much, anxiety approached him a few seconds later.
The former shell casing is three feet away from the grave of the mother..
Petra immediately checked further. He was looking for a shot hole. It did not take five minutes his magic hand managed to find a small hole the size of the bullet, although it was disguised due to rain water.
"Dad. dad!"
Petra immediately ran away from the funeral with her heart and mind haunted by fear and anxiety, fixed on her father.
