"All right, it's getting late. I should be leaving too."
Eren did not want to stay in the same place as them for so long, and he had no idea what they were planning to do.
Eren waved his hand and moved around them, intending to leave.
But before he had taken more than a few steps, someone blocked his path.
Eren looked at the person in confusion, seemingly unable to understand why they had suddenly stopped him.
Only then did Armin emerge from the side and stop in front of Eren.
Armin wore a gentle smile, but Eren found it somewhat ill-intentioned.
"Armin, what does this mean?"
Eren directly voiced every doubt in his heart.
He could be sure that Armin was not after his life...
Armin did not answer. He merely curved his lips into a faint smile and said,
"We haven't seen each other in a long time. I just want to keep you here and catch up. You wouldn't refuse, would you?"
Eren clenched his fists. His expression remained utterly calm, but his heart was far from peaceful.
"Let's catch up another time. I'm really exhausted today. I just want to get back and rest as soon as possible."
As Eren spoke, he gently rubbed his head, pretending to be extremely sleepy as he tried to move forward...
He had thought that Armin would let him leave after he said that, but the people beside Armin continued blocking his way.
Eren felt utterly helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He could only sigh and nod lightly.
"Since you want to catch up with me, let's find somewhere to talk."
Seeing Eren obey so readily, Armin said nothing more. He merely had those people stay beside Eren at all times to prevent him from escaping.
