The meeting

This day was destined to be recorded in history. Because the World Joint Conference chose to hold its meeting in the Liberio Internment Zone, where the Eldians gathered, the originally lifeless Liberio Internment Zone suddenly became lively in just a few days.

Countless stalls sprang up, with vendors from all over the world bringing exotic specialties and all kinds of delicacies. The Liberio Internment Zone, which was originally inhabited only by Eldians, was also briefly flooded with many Marleyan and foreigners from the outside world.

Or perhaps, in order to save face in front of the world, the Marley high command passed on some orders not to harass the Eldians to the Marley Army stationed in the Liberio Internment Zone.

So these past few days have probably been the most comfortable for the Eldians living in the Liberio Internment Zone. The Marleyan, who used to discriminate against the Eldians and act arrogantly, are now turning a blind eye.

Furthermore, the Internment Zone has seen an increase in merchants from Marley and abroad, which has broadened the horizons of the Eldians were once unable to leave the Internment Zone.

In the Marley Warrior Unit's camp, Magath frowned slightly. "Still haven't found Newt?"

Zeke shrugged helplessly. "No, Newt seems to have vanished into thin air. We've searched almost the entire Liberio Internment Zone, but we haven't found any trace of Newt. I'm really sorry, Captain Magath, it's my fault for failing in my duty."

Magath paced anxiously back and forth in his office. Tonight's operation had been planned according to the intelligence provided by Newt, and Newt's disappearance at this moment was definitely a problem!

After a moment's thought, Magath decided to discuss it with Willy Tybur, but the plan couldn't be changed for now. So Magath turned to Zeke and said, "Zeke, I'm leaving that matter to you. Remember to keep an eye on the Sea-Swimming Titan Aili, the Paladin Titan Ivanor, the Winged Titan Litt, and the Fortress Titan Bazel!"

Zeke straightened his back and replied with a strong voice, "Yes! Mission accomplished!"

After watching Magath leave, Zeke felt a bit amused. Although he didn't understand why the Marley leadership wanted to take action against the newly emerged Titan Warriors, Zeke had no reason to refuse something that would weaken Marley's strength, since it didn't conflict with his own goals.

But Zeke was a little curious: since they were targeting the new Titan, why not also target Newt's Red Fire Titan and Porco's Flying Claw Titan?

Somewhat confused, Zeke then left the camp.

"Let's go, everyone can relax today. There are lots and lots of new and fun things to do in the Liberio Internment Zone," Colt said with a smile to the Warrior Candidate.

Hearing that they could relax freely, Falco and the others couldn't hide their joy. Seeing their happiness, Colt added, "There's a banquet tonight for representatives from various countries; we'll be serving as waiters there."

Falco: "Waiters? Really? But our identities..." Although Falco didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood what he meant. Eldians had a bad reputation in the eyes of countries around the world. Was it really appropriate to send them?

Seeing his Younger Brother looking a bit dejected, Colt quickly comforted him, "Don't think too much about it, Falco. It's just helping out by carrying plates and stuff, it's nothing serious. Now's not the time to worry about this, let's get ready to go out and relax!"

Colt's words reignited the enthusiasm of the Warrior Candidate, and they happily headed towards the Market, picking up Pieck, Porco, and Reiner along the way.

Pieck was happy to accompany the Warrior Candidate to the Market. Reiner was a bit slow-witted, but he was also willing to go. Porco, on the other hand, had a sour face and seemed very reluctant, but in the end, he went along after being dragged along by the others.

At the Market, the dazzling array of goods dazzled the children, and the aroma of various delicacies filled the air, making them feel intoxicated. The bustling Market, with its colorful pedestrians, also dazzled the Warrior Candidate who spent most of their time training.

Ultimately, Falco and his friends are still children at heart, and they all showed longing expressions when they saw the large ice cream sold at the roadside stall.

But Pieck shrugged, leaning on his crutches, while Porco patted his empty pockets—he hadn't brought any money.

Colt did bring money, but he had already spent quite a bit while browsing the Market. Now, with everyone's sandwiches, sparkling water, and various small gifts in their waist bags, Colt was almost completely emptied of his pockets.

So, everyone's expectant gazes turned to the only remaining honest man, Reiner. Reiner looked at Falco and the others' expectant eyes, what could he do? Pay up.

Soon everyone had an extra-large ice cream and was happily licking it.

As they chatted, Pieck suddenly noticed a familiar figure in the distance. Upon closer inspection, he recognized the War Chief, Zeke. Hadn't he said he had a mission? What was he doing wandering around the Market?

Out of curiosity, Pieck told Reiner and the others, then followed Zeke alone.

Zeke walked unhurriedly with his hands in his pockets. After a while, he arrived in front of a mental hospital, which was also the largest hospital in the entire Liberio Internment Zone.

The hospital's main task recently has likely been to arrange treatment for Soldiers who broke down on the battlefield, namely Eldia Soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Zeke's grandfather is also currently at this hospital. Besides being a doctor himself, his grandfather is also quite old and sometimes experiences mental confusion, so he simply stays in the hospital.

Zeke went into the hospital, first to visit his grandfather, and then went alone to the garden behind the hospital, where someone was already waiting for him.

But Zeke walked over expectantly, only to be somewhat surprised when he saw the person. "Yago-san? It's you? I thought it would be Eren meeting me."

That's right, it was Yago waiting for Zeke here. Yago was holding a small basket of cherries. When he saw Zeke, Yago smiled and offered him a handful of cherries. "Want some? Zeke, they're very sweet."

Zeke didn't stand on ceremony, taking the food and eating it, spitting out the seeds as he ate, and asking, "Where's Eren?"

Yago: "Eren? There's a mission he needs to complete. What's wrong? Is Zeke in a hurry to see Eren?"

Zeke: "I guess so. After all, Eren and I are like brothers. As the Older Brother, I just wanted to have a good chat with my Little Brother."

Yago: "There will be an opportunity."

Meanwhile, Pieck witnessed Yago's meeting with Zeke from a distance.
