League of Legends in Multiverse Chapter 24

Turning her head away in slight annoyance, the first thing Mikasa saw was a man with long, jet-black hair like her own, his figure a good deal taller than hers.

"It's you... Lian Ye?"

After a moment of slight surprise, it was followed by an irrepressible joy.

He had returned. Although his method of appearance was the same as two years ago, as elusive as ever, if Lian Ye hadn't spoken first, Mikasa would hardly have noticed his presence.

But what Mikasa didn't doubt was that after they parted ways two years ago, Lian Ye would reappear one day, because he would never die at the hands of the Giants like other frail humans.

As the saying goes, 'When old friends meet, tears flow freely.' For the Easterner bloodline, which was on the verge of disappearing from this world, this feeling of mutual appreciation was even stronger.

"It's me, Mikasa."

Lian Ye replied affirmatively, a faint smile on his face.

Glancing at Eren and Armin, who were lined up ahead, Lian Ye nodded to himself, "It seems you're also joining the Training Corps. Just as I expected."

He had initially thought that after saving Carla Yeager, Eren wouldn't harbor such extreme hatred for the Giants, leading him to join the Training Corps. But the inertia of the plot was incredibly powerful. Something else must have happened to cause Eren and the other two to appear at the recruitment site for the 104th Training Corps without any surprises.

"So you are too?"

Mikasa tilted her head. Although she didn't know why Lian Ye, who could independently hunt Titans without ODM Gear two years ago, needed to join the Training Corps as a recruit, she knew he must have his reasons.

"Yes, from now on, we'll be comrades. Please take care of me."

Lian Ye smiled.

"Comrades..."

Mikasa savored the word, a slight smile gracing her face. The sense of security this word brought made Mikasa, who had never cared about others, feel that it wasn't bad.

---Although it might not be the best way to put it, compared to Eren and Armin, who had lost their parents, she, who had always been alone, had once again found her companion.

"Lian Ye!"

Eren, noticing the situation behind him, also saw Lian Ye, an Easterner who had left a deep impression on him despite only meeting once.

Armin was slightly taken aback. Although he had heard Eren and Mikasa mention the name 'Lian Ye' before, this was the first time he had actually met this person who was like Mikasa.

Eren's eyes, looking at Lian Ye, ignited with a more complex, fervent flame than two years ago.

Two years ago, he had simply admired Lian Ye, who could hunt Giants. But now, he was determined to watch him intently without distraction.

Although he knew this stemmed from Eren's desire to gain the power to kill Giants, such a fervent gaze couldn't help but give Lian Ye a sense of dread.

---Hey, hey, hey, this is the world of 'Forbidden Giant's Love,' so same-sex relationships are strictly prohibited.

Chapter 20: Seriously Talking Nonsense

The procedure for joining the Training Corps was not complicated, and the identity information required was merely verbal.

Most people who chose to join the Training Corps and become soldiers to fight the Giants were those who harbored deep hatred for the Giants during the fall of Shiganshina District, or refugees with nowhere else to go.
