Different circumstances

"This beef noodle soup is so delicious, Zofia, have some more! Oh, and boss! I don't want any scallions on my beef noodle soup, thank you!" Aili turned her head, raised her hand, and said loudly to the owner who was cooking noodles next to her.

"Okay!"

Compared to Aili's good appetite, Zofia, being a child, naturally didn't eat much. However, Zofia wasn't most concerned about whether the beef noodles were delicious, and she hadn't come to see Aili for a meal.

While Aili eagerly awaited her beef noodles, Zofia asked her question, "Sister Aili, how did things go with what I told you last time? Can I Eldia Revival Army?"

Across from Zofia, the chopsticks Aili was biting on fell onto the table with a clatter. Her pretty face showed some hesitation, and after a moment she replied, "Well, how should I put it, Zofia, you should know that the Marley Warrior Unit no longer exist, and Sister Selina and the others are strongly opposed to re-establishing Warrior Unit. Without the Warrior Unit, we don't need Warrior Candidate anymore. Most importantly..."

"Little girl, your beef noodles are here!" The enthusiastic owner brought a large bowl of beef noodles with double the amount of meat to Aili's side. As a liberated Eldians, the owner was full of respect and gratitude for every Soldiers of the Eldia Revival Army.

Whenever he saw these Eldia Soldiers in their brand-new uniforms, he felt a surge of pride. This was completely different from how he viewed the Eldia Forces who fought for Marley. The Eldia Revival Army had gained the recognition and support of millions of Eldia in Hope City.

In addition, every boss and chef would be happy to have a customer who can eat a lot, let alone a pretty girl like Aili who can eat a lot.

After thanking the hospitable owner, Aili picked up her third bowl of beef noodles, slurping it down as she vaguely explained to Zofia, "The most important thing is, Zofia, you're still too young. Sister Selina and several Division Commander have all strictly emphasized that no Eldians under the age of sixteen can join the Eldia Revival Army."

Hearing Aili's explanation, Zofia's face fell, and the beef noodles in her bowl suddenly lost their appeal. She asked dejectedly, "Why? Even though we're not adults, we still want to contribute to the revival of the Eldians!"

Aili chuckled, taking a moment to tap Zofia's forehead with her finger. "Silly girl, fighting for the Eldians is our responsibility. What are you kids doing interfering? We fight for the Eldia Restoration, but you children are the hope for the rise of our Eldia People. That's what our leader, Selina, said."

So, little Zofia, if you want to contribute to the Eldia Restoration, then study hard. The future of us Eldians needs your help."

That's what she said, but there was still an indescribable disappointment in Zofia's eyes, and Aili genuinely didn't want the little girl in front of her to get involved in the war again. Yes, the war.

As a sea Titan Warriors, Aili was one of the top leaders of the Eldia Revival Army. Naturally, she learned a lot from Selina. Soon, the Eldia Revival Army would face a great war that could affect the whole world. This World War would determine the future Fate of the Eldians: would they continue to decline and even disappear from the world, or would they stand tall and proudly declare the rise of the Eldia People to the world?

This process will not be smooth sailing, and sacrifices will be inevitable. Even Aili herself is not confident that she can survive until the end of the war with the Titan Power.

In truth, Aili wasn't particularly brave, nor did she have lofty ambitions. She herself was rather confused about what Zofia was saying about fighting for the Eldia Restoration. However, Aili knew that her family was doing well now. Without the oppression of the Marleyan, without all sorts of constraints and malice, her mother and Younger Brother Younger Sister were living very happily. Her mother had found a well-paying job in Textile Factory, and her Younger Brother Younger Sister were all attending school— Free Compulsory School supported by the Eldia Revival Army.

Life now truly has meaning and hope for the Eldians. Aili may not understand grand principles, but she knows that in order to protect this way of life so that it can continue, she must give her all. This is also the common will of all the Eldia Revival Army.

"How about this, Zofia? When Boss Yago comes to Hope City, I'll go talk to Boss Yago and see if I can make you an Eldia Revival Army soldier. You can join our Restoration Army as soon as you turn sixteen, how about that?" Aili couldn't bear to see Zofia's pitiful look, so she coaxed her half-jokingly.

Sure enough, Zofia's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. "Really? You can do that?"

"Of course! Would I lie to you?"

On the other side, Gabi walked alone on the street. The yellow Armband that symbolized Warrior Candidate was no longer on her arm. The pedestrians on the street didn't pay any attention to a little child. The feeling of being ignored made Gabi feel a little strange.

Wandering aimlessly, Gabi soon lost track of where she was. But then the aroma of bread and pork floss wafted into Gabi nostrils, and because it was noon, Gabi stomach began to rumble.

"Gabi?" At this moment, a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar voice sounded behind Gabi. Gabi subconsciously turned around and immediately saw a familiar face.

Falco's short blond hair was slightly messy, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, indicating that he had just exerted a lot of effort. He was wearing a mini apron, which was covered with flour, and even Falco face and nose were covered with flour.

Upon seeing Gabi, Falco's eyes lit up with surprise, and he said happily, "It really is you, Gabi! It's been so long! Are you here to buy bread?"

Gabi turned around in surprise. In front of her was a small Bakery, seemingly doing very good business, with many customers queuing outside to buy bread. The fragrant aroma of bread and pork floss she had just smelled was coming from there. A small sign hung above the shop: "Grice and Bock Bakery"

"Falco, this, this is your family's Bakery?"

"Yes! It's run by my Father and Mother and Udo's parents. My Older Brother, Udo, and I help out here too. By the way, I'll stop here for now. Udo must miss you a lot. Come visit us!" Falco said, taking Gabi's hand and leading her into the Bakery. Gabi didn't quite understand at first, so she just let Falco lead her.
