Always Be With U [Levi X Petra]
Part (39)

...• • •...

The clattering of five pony steps was enough to make an echo sound several meters in radius around him. Looks like a group of people wearing green robes symbolizing two wings of freedom proudly continue to lung towards the front through the expanse of grass, but still do not reduce attention in all directions in case there is a Titan who will attack.

No exception to that caramel-haired girl..

The gusts of wind that continued to hit his face, did not reduce the beautiful impression on the woman. Netra almondnya was in charge of showing off its beauty on all objects in nature.

However, in contrast to the body, his mind was turning to the time of the morning.

2 Hours ago..

That morning at Rall's house, Petra went down the stairs to the bottom floor, preparing to say goodbye to the head of the family. It was seen that Mr. Rall was sitting on the porch chair of the house holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. His gaze was so sweet and cheering, I don't know what he was thinking.

"Dad.."

"Oh, Petra.." Mr. Rall immediately locked his attention on his beloved daughter. "Where are you going early in the morning like this, son?"

"I'll be gone in two days because there's a mission. My mission is to check the condition of the path to Shiganshina for a later expedition. Dad.. Is it okay if I leave?"

Mr. Rall smiled gently hugging his daughter. "It's okay. I'll take care of myself, Petra."

Somehow the girl felt this embrace..

Warm, but also cold..

It is undeniable that sadness began to spread to him. It's always like that if it's good-bye. Indeed, separation is something that must exist but certainly not desired.

"Please take care of yourself. If you're coming home and there's no Dad home, that means I'm not done with the job."

"Tasks?"

"Ah that. Daddy's boss just got a new land. Surely I have to look for many more organic seeds," said Mr. Rall smiling eagerly, "So, don't worry ya."

"Dad, I-I'm sorry. My attitude has gone too far. Maybe I'm a bad boy."

"You don't have to apologize. Father is completely wrong. Dad's actions are inexcusable and Dad's never-"

"Don't say that, please.." Unknowingly, clear circles began to flow from the girl's eyes, "I'm even very grateful you're okay. Don't keep blaming yourself.."

Petra was crying, but she didn't want to. She had been crying lately, feeling tired. But, many times the netra betrayed, constantly trying to let out its overflow.

Mr. Rall hugged his daughter tightly back, "I'm sorry Dad, Petra."

"Please promise me you'll be fine! Don't ever hide anything from me again!"

Mr. Rall was stunned for a moment hearing that. Then, he smiled and simply said, "Alright, son."

Petra breathed out slowly.  Instantly his face looked up, looking at the sky that was so blue. Just try his horse can also look up, Petra will invite him to see the beauty of this sky to the satisfaction.

"We'll rest in the Krolva border river before we get to Shiganshina! Rest your horses too!"

Captain Mike's loud voice required Petra to finish her gaze with the sky. So did the others seem entirely focused on the thin mustache man.

"Yes, Mike!" sahut Hanji blared, making Levi who was not far from the palace clucked while covering his ears.

Well, maybe later the vote will be named as the right bait candidate for the Titans.

...• • •...

"Hanji-san, is it okay if I make the sketch now?" ask Moblit to make sure while preparing the large paper he carries.

"Oi oi, why? You're getting lazy at work, hm? Or do you want to brag about your art talent?" It wasn't Hanji, it was Mike.

"N-no, Captain. I mean, I'm just asking."

"Geez, Mike, how come you've been talking so much lately?" Hanji furrowed his brows in astonishment. "Are you on a male hormone rise?"

Moblit sighed tiredly, why did they end up always arguing anyway?

Another case with the three people, Levi decided to approach Petra who was accompanying the horses on the river bank. The girl's face looked calm looking at the clear stream flowing slowly before her.

"They.."

"Captain?" Petra then turned her attention to the figure of the captain who seemed to be directly sitting next to her.

Levi handed me a packet of bread. "Eat.."

"Thank you, Captain. But, I'm not so hungry"

KRUUKK..

How the hazel girl instantly blushed her face. He turned his body in the other direction, which he must be ashamed of now.

You may betray me peruutt!! I am so embarrassed now how is this?!

Levi seemed to be smiling faintly with Petra's mannerisms. "You're hungry."

He saw that the captain was still faithful to offer the bread. Feeling bad, Petra accepted. "Thank you, Captain. But, this must be your allotment, right?"

"Yes, but I don't want to."

"No, the Captain must eat. I'll split it in two."

After doing bread-splitting activities, of course he immediately forced his captain to accept as well, in other words forcing a Levi to budge.

Both of them were lulled long enough because they were busy chewing. Only the sound of medium-scale wind gusts accompanied them, as well as the sound of river flow of course. All the horses were inexplicably silent as if they were watching the activities of the two humans.

"Captain.."

"....."

"What.. do you remember helping a girl who was almost killed by a market robber?"

Hearing that Levi furrowed his brows, "No. Why do you ask like that?"

Well, it was only natural that he didn't remember it because it was a long time ago.

"Ah, it's okay. I'm just asking."

"Have you ever seen me like that?"

Petra smiled wryly, "Ever. Can I tell you more, Captain?"

"Can. Maybe I'll remember it."

The girl began to take a deep breath, a sign of wanting to start telling stories. "At that time there was a group of robbers who wanted to steal the vegetable basket belonging to the boy. The reason is because of the food crisis."

Levi's opaque sapphire bead did not release his attachment to the girl who was telling the story.

"The boy.the hobby is crying-very crybaby. Even still crying when spoken to by Hanji-san who was helping at that time."

The captain of the Survey Corps is now increasingly confused by the direction of Petra's story, at once.

"The promise?"

"Yes, even he who wanted to treat the child's injuries but was rejected. Hanji asked you to take the boy home."

Levi. His mind began to remember the pieces of a memory. What Petra said, everything started to feel familiar.

Petra's crisp laughter let out before continuing her story, "The boy had a dream to enter the Survey Corps a long time ago. The reason was simple, he idolized the soldiers very much, especially-"

GREB!

How the owner of the caramel mane jolted and immediately stopped his sentence.

His captain..

Levi. holding Petra..

"Captain-"

"It's you.."

And that beautiful sight lasted quite a long time. Levi had no idea that Petra was aware of holding back the feeling of unreason in her heart.

But even the girl did not dodge. It wants to be like this for longer, although this is not the first time.

Warm. It feels so comfortable.

"Sorry.."

"Sorry too, Captain." said Petra clumsily as she lowered her red face.

Ah, this situation again, repeatedly.

"But Captain, I'm very grateful to you. Maybe if you hadn't saved me back then, I wouldn't be in the Survey Corps right now."

Smile again adorn the beautiful face nan soft. Levi was grateful to see her again.

One of the things he wants to see as often as possible..

One of the things that can make him feel calm and peaceful..

"You can be here not because of me, but yourself. You've fought all this way."

"Stay, the Captain is in it and I'm so grateful for that."

"Petra-"

"Levi! Petras! Two 5-meter Titans lead to you!" hanji shouted loudly.

Justright. They felt the ground surface increasingly shake. Some time the horses acted panicked and started to stay away from the river. Luckily Levi and Petra could still lead them, at least getting closer to Hanji and the others.

Within a matter of five seconds, two Titan bodies ran, even crashing their bodies to destroy some trees.

Tch! Why am I not aware of its existence?

"Captain! I'll clear the right one!" Petra prepared the gas and flew straight towards the nape of the abnormal Titan.

As soon as he saw that big hand was about to catch him, Petra immediately changed course to injure him. When it was diverted, Petra quickly stuck a hook and slashed the nape of the Titan.

However, the surface of the ground he was peeling looked increasingly dark because of the shadow of an object on it.

That thing..

"They!"

In a matter of seconds the girl felt her body tightly grabbed and for some time the two bodies were dragged and hit the ground surface, as well as the tree trunk that almost hit them. Petra was surprised when her body was still held captive by Levi who was on it. Only a few inches of distance between them until the two faces face each other.

"You okay?"

"Well, your lips are so sweet. My stuff is so perfect.."

Petra's eyes instantly widened, "Aaaarrgghh!! Stay away!!!"

Levi who was directly pushed by Petra was very surprised. The girl looked frightened while covering her face and her body trembled slightly. As soon as he came to his senses, his net hazel showed sadness and.. Levi seemed to understand that.

Traumatised..

He has a sense of trauma..

"Captain, I-I'm sorry.."

Levi involuntarily pulled Petra's body back into his arms. Slowly he rubbed the still trembling back slowly, hoping to give it a bit of calmness.

"Calm down. it's okay.."

The girl slowly calmed down, as if completely healed by those two magic words. Levi let that go a little while, trying to understand what happened to Petra.

Callalut.but not kalut..

Maybe that's what describes the atmosphere between the two..

...• • •...

BUGHGH!!

One precise punch hit the face of a man named behind Ravelis, who else if not Nico. He seemed to be complaining of pain because his precious face might get battered again.

"Why are you guys so much for hitting people.." Nico said, "Today I've been hit by that Beautiful Miss-ARGH!!"

"Good, meaning our job is to add to it," cynical Oluo as she pulled the man's collar.

"What do you want anyway?!"

"Tell us all the information you gave Petra."

"Huh? Why are you asking-AARRGGHH!!!"

Eld scratches Nico's legs alternately, incising a very neat incision, while Gunther holds Nico's body.

"All right! All righty! I'll tell! Why cut my legs too?!"

"I don't think you've got a cut like Petra, so we'll add."

"Please. ssshhh. Don't you feel sorry for me?" pinta Nico pleads.

"Just tell me!"

"I know about the death of his sister who was not 'accidental' it. I used to have a partner in the organization, but I never knew his real name and never thought to find out. Another reason is also because we always use nicknames or codes."

"Do you know his pseudonym?" ask Gunther.

"I told you I only know his nickname. He often changed his name to secure his identity. Every time his organization took action, his name changed. The headquarters of the company is always changing. No one else will find it easy."

Oluo screeched as he swore, "Delivering traces yes. What's a nickname for him?"

"Name 'The Ruler of the Way of the Rat'. I met him for the first time while gambling at a nightclub. When I won the bet, he asked me to chat. He is a criminal who hunts his victims with hypnotism. He loves money and loves to bet. Then, he told the names of his victims to invite me to join, but I refused. His father's name is on that list.."

The three men of Levi's squad were choked, including Oluo. He seems to be starting to understand everything.

"What do you mean, huh?!" Eld stared intently at Nico as if in disbelief.

"I realized that his last name was Rall, just like the name of the victim the person mentioned. I assumed she was his daughter and it turned out to be true" said Nico, "I suspect.. His father's in debt."

Ja. The man surnamed Bozado was beginning to understand everything. Unknowingly, his emotions came to a head. Both of his hands clenched hard. He imagined how sad Petra was to hear everything back then.

"His father may have been hypnotized. and his brother. His sister did not die by chance, but was killed by the organization."

Eld could no longer hold back his emotions. Eld, who is usually famous for being calm, is now pulling Nico's jet mane tightly. "Damn it! You. Never lie!"

"I'm telling the truth! I lied about being killed by Levi!!"

"You.. are you also involved in it?" ask Oluo.

"No. I swear to God," insisted Nico in self-defense.

"alright. Eld, Gunther, let's go."

Oluo's orders indicate the man is serious right now. Eld and Gunther could only obey him.

...• • •...

"Suck!"

Eld hit hard the wall of the alley in front of him. Likewise with Gunther who seemed very surprised to hear an explanation from Oluo just now about Petra's confession.

"Petra was hurt because of those people. In other words.The Rall family was really targeted."

"We don't have much time. I'm afraid Mr. Rall and Petra will be targeted as soon as possible by them. We split up, browse through all the nightclubs. Better to go undercover," Oluo said.

"Understand."
