Reunion

Carrying the large bag, Rang and Sasha made their way through a maze of turns to a secluded building. Rang pulled down his hood and cautiously looked around, making sure everything was alright before going inside with Sasha.

After passing through a slightly dimly lit passage, the interior of the passage became clear.

"We're back. We bought food and some medicine, but I don't know if it will be of any use to Ymir." Jean said, pulling a small package out of his bag.

"Thank you so much, Jean." Historia thanked Jean, took the package, and turned to leave. Jean looked at Historia's face, which hadn't shown a smile in a long time, and hesitated to speak.

Since Historia revealed her identity, she hasn't smiled once. Is that little angel she once was never going to come back?

"You're back?" The calm voice pulled him out of his daze, and he turned to see Captain Levi, who had led them to the Trost District.

Two female soldiers followed behind Levi: one was Petra, whom everyone recognized, and the other was Black Hair female soldier whom no one had seen before.

However, Petra looked at the female soldier next to her strangely. The Black Hair female soldier was one of Hange's subordinates. Because Levi needed manpower, Hange sent several trusted subordinates over, and Aiya was one of them.

However, Aiya seems to have a special kind of adoration for Levi, and the way she looks at Captain Levi with such a shining gaze makes Petra, who is also a fan of Captain, very uncomfortable.

"Captain, everything we needed has been purchased, but why did I have to impersonate that jerk Eren?" Levi said, pointing angrily at Eren standing beside him.

Eren retorted, "Huh? What are you talking about? You think I want you to impersonate someone? With that long, horse-like face of yours, you'd be recognized instantly!"

Enraged, he shouted at Eren, "What! You dare mock me? Want to fight?"

Eren: "Come on! I can beat you to a pulp!"

"Damn it! Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you can turn into Titan!"

Mikasa and Armin held Eren back, while Sasha and Connie held Jean back, preventing the two from actually getting entangled.

Levi looked at his unreliable subordinates, his eyebrows furrowing into a knot.

"Enough, stop fooling around. Those guys' target is Eren and Historia. This is the only way to lure them out. After all, we can't let Eren and Historia actually become bait."

"Tch!" Ron angrily flung his hand away, saying, "Fine, I understand, but if I'm going to impersonate Eren, what about Historia? Who will impersonate her? None of the girls here Blonde."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Armin, Armin broke out in a cold sweat. "Uh, um, everyone, why are you all looking at me?"

After a long while, Armin, whose expression looked like he had been brutally humiliated by everyone and whose eyes were filled with tears, was forced to agree to let him impersonate Historia.

Seeing Armin Ming's aggrieved expression, everyone smiled, a rare occurrence. The heavy atmosphere that had been hanging over them for days eased somewhat, and only Armin's wounded world came into view.

In this rare moment of relaxation, Levi suddenly flashed forward and rushed towards the door with incredible speed, which surprised everyone.

Only Aiya, a Scout, watched Levi's swift movements with stars in her eyes; she had been a huge fan of the Captain even before joining the Survey Corps.

Unfortunately, her skills weren't enough to Levi Squad, so she rarely had the chance to witness Levi's abilities. Therefore, when would be a better time to swoon over him?

"Come out!" Levi kicked the dimly lit doorway with a side kick, followed by a dull thud, as if someone had caught Levi's kick with their fist.

Without hesitation, Levi rushed out of the door into the dimly lit passage, where the sounds of fists and feet clashing echoed.

"Oh my god! Captain Levi! Everyone, help!" Aiya's exclamation brought everyone back to their senses.

Petra reacted the fastest, rushing over immediately, "Captain! Hey!"

The others realized what was happening, but before they could go up to help, a figure jumped in first.

Yago clutched his chest and backed away. There was a faint footprint on his clothes, and his chest was burning with pain. He was also a little short of breath.

Before Yago could catch his breath, Annie, wearing a pink coat, stumbled back in, looking somewhat disheveled.

Yago caught Annie in his arms, steadying Annie. Annie's hands were trembling slightly; it was clear that Captain Levi hadn't held back.

"Are all the Ackermans this terrifying?" Yago thought helplessly.

"Yago, and Annie?!"

"Annie?!" Everyone was surprised to see Yago, but they were all shocked when they saw Annie. They already knew that Annie was Female Titan. Although Annie's current appearance was a bit strange, everyone was on high alert.

The breaching of the city walls and the capture of Eren are actions that demand our vigilance.

"Annie! Do you still want to kidnap Eren?!" Armin shouted, while secretly giving Mikasa a meaningful look.

"Yago, why are you with Annie? Are you a traitor too?" Eren asked Yago with a hint of grief and indignation. Were all traitors really his good friends?

Annie, who wasn't good with words, turned pale under everyone's questioning. All the things she had done in the past flashed through her mind, filling her with guilt. But she didn't know what to say, only stammering, "No... no... I just..."

Yago was still holding Annie in his arms. Seeing everyone's tense expressions and Annie's condition, he wanted to explain for Annie, but before he could even open his mouth, he said, "Listen to me, everyone... Oh my god!"

A swift punch came hurtling towards him, and a whip kick came from behind, but Yago, holding Annie, didn't have time to dodge. He had no choice but to steel himself, turn Yago body to the side, and take the punch and kick with his back.

As if struck by a heavy hammer, a terrifying force came from behind Yago, causing a sweet taste in Yago throat and a trickle of blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.

"Yago!" Seeing Yago cough up blood, Annie was also somewhat panicked, and the sharp spikes on the Ring on her finger immediately protruded.

Eren rushed to his Comrade, his hand already to his mouth. Mikasa, who had just thrown a Mikasa, and Levi, who had just delivered a whip kick, both accepted the Blades handed to them by Aiya and Petra.

Just as tensions were about to rise, Yago raised his hand and roared, "Wait!! Let me say something first!"
