"Huh! How did Petra get prettier?" Oruo exclaimed in surprise.
"Did her lip color change? What's different?" Gunther asked.
"You idiot! Her lip color changed, obviously," Eld Jinn said.
Eren watched the scene before him, a little surprised.
"So everyone in the Survey Corps isn't always so serious after all," Eren said.
"Being serious isn't a rule we follow. It's simply a choice we make. Every soldier has a life of their own. Our duty in the Survey Corps is to uncover the truth about the Titans, so that we have a chance to see the laughter and joy before us," Erwin said calmly.
Seeing everyone so happy over a single tube of lipstick, Chen Si no longer minded Zhang Surou taking it quite so much.
This isn't so bad. I'll find another one for Mikasa later. I'll steal a dozen from Marley for Mikasa and Historia to share.
"Mikasa, come here for a moment." Zhang Surou suddenly beckoned to her.
"Hm? Are you calling me, Miss Chris?" A little taken aback, Mikasa looked at Chen Si.
"It's fine. Go ahead." Chen Si had guessed what Zhang Surou intended to do, too. Seriously, giving away my stuff to earn someone else's gratitude. That was mine! He looked thoroughly annoyed.
Zhang Surou led Mikasa into another room.
"You're Mikasa, right? You're beautiful." Studying Mikasa's face, Zhang Surou couldn't help admiring her inwardly.
"Y-you are, too." Chris was a stunning beauty, after all, and being praised by someone so beautiful made Mikasa a little shy.
"Come on, let me do your makeup," Zhang Surou said, taking out her cosmetics.
"M-makeup? What's that?" Mikasa asked blankly.
"Something that can make girls prettier," Zhang Surou explained.
Prettier... Historia came to Mikasa's mind, and she quietly clenched her fists.
"Sorry for the trouble, Miss Chris,"
