Always Be With U [Levi X Petra]
Part (6)

"Petra's been kidnapped."

"WHAT?!" Everyone immediately rounded their eyes to hear the words of their captain just now.

"Peter-san.." Eren clenched his hand.

Oluo immediately kicked down the dining table, venting his emotions. "Basic bastards! Who are they, huh?!"

Eld shook his head in disbelief. "How could he possibly be kidnapped?! His martial ability alone could even be said to exceed us."

Levi as much as possible still put on his flat face as usual, but it is undeniable that he is very worried about Petra. He took out the blood-stained pocket knife earlier, his main proof.

"Captain, it's unmistakable, it's Petra's." Gunther said after analyzing the knife.

"Captain, judging from this evidence, it seems Petra had time to defend herself and fight the enemy. The enemy must have been injured. If so, the enemy must have left perhaps a trace or two." Eld added.

"I think so too. But, we can't figure out yet what motive they brought Petra. Our enemy does not seem to attach much importance to the fragility of the course of the mission, but its success." Levi explained.

"What should we do, Captain?"

"Gunther, tell Erwin this situation and delay the mission for the Elite Squad! Eld, tell Hanji's squad to guard this base now!" Let's Levi.

"Come, Captain!" Gunther and Eld left immediately.

"You two stay here. Oluo, take care of this bad boy. I'll try to find a trail." Gunther and Eren were flabbergasted.

"Huh? But Captain-" Serge Oluo

"No, Captain. I want to help save Petra-san! I can't just stay here!" Eren did not accept.

"Oi, kid! Remember you are troublesome. Your identity must remain hidden. I won't take care of you much longer if this mission fails."

"But I don't want Petra-san's rescue to fail either!"

Levi was choked to see Eren who was very adamant about saving Petra.

"Captain, isn't it better to be together? If you act alone, the risk will be greater and will even minimize the possibility." Oluo.

Levi sighed, rethinking his decision carefully.

"I won't hesitate to kick your pig's face if Eren's identity is exposed in vain!"

Oluo and Eren immediately stiffened their bodies, not caring about my hair those who had stood proudly just by hearing the captain's absolute words. "Ready, Captain!"

Oluo interrupted, "Captain, I'll get the horse ready." Levi nodded in agreement.

Eren looked at Levi who seemed to be agitated, even though the captain was trying hard to hide it. But for Eren it can be directly guessed.

"Captain.."

"What?"

"Actually, there's something a little troubling my mind." Eren said hesitantly, seeing his attitude earlier that had been against Captain Levi and now would come back to harass him.

"Just tell me!" Levi said impatiently.

"Ba-good! Actually the other day, I accidentally heard Petra-san as if she was angry at something, while she was in her room-"

"Wait, are you stalking?" Cut Levi while putting on a killing look.

Eren immediately shook his head quickly, refuting. "No no, Captain. I just happened to pass in front of his room. I heard Petra-san say 'How dare they want to destroy the Elite Squad and Captain Levi..' "

Eren's explanation made Levi surprised and pensive. He felt that he was a leader who failed in protecting his own subordinates. If only that night he woke Petra up to go back to her room, none of this would have happened. Even if something happens, it will certainly be heard directly compared to the dining room located on the lower floor, seeing the size of the castle (base) is so large. Plus that night it seemed to have rained heavily from the condition of the ground this morning that looked moist. The possibility of heavy rain makes hearing less catch the sound around.

"It looks like Petra-san has already received some kind of threat." continued Eren.

"It seems the enemy once knew me or knew my squad members. That's just my guess. Seeing I also have many enemies first." Levi said as he prepared his 3D Maneuver Gear.

"Usually?" Eren asked spontaneously.

Levi was silent for a moment. "Forget it.."

'What does it mean to have many enemies first?' Instantly so many questions came to Eren's mind, but the most important thing was not that now.

"We have to save Petra-san, Captain!" Eren.

Levi was silent for a moment. He wanted to ask Eren, but his brain was sorting out a more precise word. And in the end, he chose to ask straightforwardly. No matter if later this rancid boy in front of him would put on the face 'Why Captain Levi... suddenly asked like that? '

"Who is Petra to you, Eren?"

Sure enough Levi's guess. Eren was immediately jumped to hear such a sudden question, especially from humans like Levi who incidentally known as 'unique and strange cold man who is able to make everyone feel threatened.'

'It is rare for Captain Levi to ask such a personal question.'

"Petra-san is a senior that I admire a lot."

"...."

Eren again continued before Levi again misunderstood him.

The firm answer from Eren was enough to explain everything and unconsciously Levi felt relieved about it.

'Petra doesn't lie..'

Eren understood why his captain asked that. "Previously.. Petra-san asked me if I should be considered as a sister to her because she said I look similar to her. I am so sorry for his sister. I think the captain can hear from him later."

"Thank you, Eren."

Eren jerks. Petra's words were not wrong. Levi was still a gentle and kind-hearted human being. He felt guilty for looking too badly and overthinking his captain. Eren instantly gave a salute while smiling.

"Yes, Captain!"

...• • •...

The two brown beads slowly opened, staring at the surroundings which still seemed faint to him. "Where..me?"

Petra was shocked when she saw both her hands and feet tied in chains and now she was sitting on an iron chair in the middle of a room.

"Well, miss are you conscious?"

Petra turned to the source of the voice. In front of him was already the towering body of a man who was staring at him with a smile.

"Who are you really? And what's your goal?!" Ask Petra without further ado.

"Hey, hey, there's no need to rush. How about we have a chat, hm?" Suddenly the man before her gently stroked her face, making Petra immediately pull over.

"Take me, asshole!"

"Good, fine. No need to be angry like that. Your face is too pretty to be angry."

GREPP!!

"Argh.."

Petra groaned because the man suddenly grabbed her hair tight.

"Did you know, I'm Nico. My goal is simple.I want to destroy the Elite Army. Oho! or your beloved captain." The man hit Petra on the head.

"It seems you're closer to the midget."

"Don't you dare hurt Captain Levi and my comrades!" Petra cried out, staring at the man in front of her.

"Just calm down, I won't hurt them directly. But through you, beautiful lady.."

...• • •...

Eren, Levi and Oluo continued to search for traces by relying on the smell of their horses.

"Captain! I found the footprints even though they looked faint." Oluo. Levi immediately analyzed the footprints found by Oluo.

"The size of an adult's shoe, it looks like a man."

"Did they leave a trace?" Eren asked curiously.

"There are two possibilities, they do want to grab our attention. Or because of the humid conditions of the land due to last night it seemed to have rained heavily and made them accidentally leave a trail. We're pretty lucky. " Levi tried to guess which way the footprints were.

'If seen, the tip of his foot looks more inclined towards the right.'

"We're trying to get this way.."

The three of them also continued down the path to the dense forest following Levi's instinct.

"Wait, Captain." Oluo.

"I heard footsteps approaching here."

"Beware." They instantly prepared their 3D Maneuver Gear while hiding behind a tree.

The closer..

"Who-"

"WHA! Turns out you guys.." Oluo and Eren immediately breathed a sigh of relief as it was not the enemy, but rather Eld and Gunther.

"How's it?" Ask Levi to the point.

"Commander Erwin said he would send help soon. The mission for our troops is also temporarily halted" Gunther explained.

"Hanji's team has also secured the base." Bright Eld.

"Alright, good job."

Levi rubbed his horse, hoping everything was smooth. And hope.he saves Petra immediately.

"Come on!"
