unfinished

Chapter 4

The nearly two weeks of getting along has made Levi fully realize that it is not so easy to raise a child, and it is not so easy to be a guardian.

In short, tiring, tiring, very tiring.Ah... I don't think it's annoying at all.

Although the five-year-old Ellen can also be mischievous, such as climbing on the sofa and suddenly putting his bear nightcap on Levi's head, such as hiding behind his bedroom door and jumping out suddenly when Levi passes by to scare him one jump.But overall, he is still a good boy.

—Wait, except for a little... picky eaters.

"Alan, don't waste it." He squinted his eyes and caught the kid who was about to run away by the collar, "Where are you going?"

"I don't like cabbage, Mr. Levi." Allen said aggrievedly.

"That's not a reason." He refused in a second.

"Woo..." The child blushed and started to get awkward.

Can't lose to this expression again, Levi!He whipped himself hard in his heart, and then tried to maintain an indifferent expression and a firm tone.

"Alan, you have to be a good boy, you know."

"Woo... I know." The child nodded aggrievedly.

"So, eat your cabbage."

"Woo..." The child looked at him aggrievedly.

"..."

So say it!Little kids are so tiring!He roared without image in spirit, while maintaining that poker face on the surface.

"Woo..." Stop looking at me with that look!

Erwin is right, playing tricks is always a trick that every child uses.

"Okay, okay, kid, you won again," Levi tapped his knuckles on the table irritably, "If you eat clean, I promise you a request."

"Eh! Really!"

He waved away the little pink flowers that appeared from the child's body for a moment in the air, and nodded half in connivance and half reluctantly.

Dare to negotiate terms with the strongest human beings, have you forgotten that a soldier's bounden duty is to obey?

Get cut, Ellen Yeager.

—Okay, of course, the 15-year-old one.He looked at the child who was trying to eat the cabbage with a puffy face, and added another sentence.

Today is the No. 12 day since the Allen age regression incident.Levi, the former soldier leader of the special operations squad and the strongest human being, is facing the biggest challenge in his second life so far.

people.people.people.

The amusement park during the summer vacation can only be described by one word, crowds of people.

After all, how did it become like this?Levi held the kid by the hand, and stood at the colorful and noisy gate, regretting his decision once again.

"It's amazing!! Look!! Mr. Levi!!" Allen didn't care about that much, he happily dragged Levi to the fountain square in the center of the amusement park, and the roller coaster was whizzing by not far away. Next, people's screams mixed with the cheerful music unique to the playground hit the strongest eardrums of human beings.

Help, now he would rather kill a hundred 50-meter-level giants.

"Listen, Alan, you are too young to play that kind of exciting game." He took a few deep breaths, trying to make himself ignore the crowd around him, and pointed to the other side, "Over there, you can Think about it." Then he looked at his watch, "Well... we have about a full day."

Allen hesitated for a long time among relatively peaceful facilities such as forest trains and carousels, and finally he pointed to a grimace on the map and pulled Levi's clothes.

"This!" The big green eyes could be said to be glowing, "Mr. Levi is okay?"

"Haunted mansion? Hey... no kid, are you sure?"

Levi raised his eyebrows, because he remembered that the brat didn't like these things.

"Have you heard of it? In the room over there, it is said that if you come at midnight, you will see something scary~~"

"No way! Captain Hanji, what did you say suddenly..."

"Think about it, after all, this headquarters used to be a genuine old castle~"

"Alan? Are you okay? You look so bad." Petra was the first to notice the boy's discomfort and asked worriedly.

"Eh? Ah! No, no...Ahaha..." Alan waved his hands hastily, but everyone in the room noticed something was wrong with him.

"Boy, don't be afraid, right? Even the giant has been killed."

"Oluo! Allen is only 15 years old, so it's normal to be afraid."

Although Levi sat in the middle and didn't speak, he kept looking at the kid. He did look very nervous, smiled reluctantly, and his body was tense.

"Hello, Ellen."

"Here! Captain!"

"It's your turn to be on duty tonight."

"Yes!"

Tsk, the corridor over there is also within the scope of patrol, Han Ji, ahhh, it's just a lot of trouble——

"Well," he casually picked up the glass and took a sip of water, "exchange with me."

"Eh...eh?"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense."

It would be a lie to say that you are not curious about the rumor, but when Levi passed the wooden door at night, he didn't open the door to find out.

The world should retain some of its inherent mysteries, shouldn't it.

"Soldier, soldier..."

It's just that he didn't expect that the little ghost would come here to find himself with a night light.

"Don't sleep, what are you doing here?"

"...Ah! That, that...I always feel a little embarrassed..." The skinny boy scratched his head, but he lowered his eyelids and stubbornly refused to meet Levi's gaze.

——This troublesome brat.He shook his head and sighed.

"Don't worry about these things, Alan." Levi said, "It's a normal thing to have fear. Or should I say, if there is no, it is not normal."

Allen lowered his head, holding the handle of the night light tightly.With the dim light, Levi noticed that the knuckles of the boy's right hand were a little white from exertion.

"Does the captain have anything to be afraid of?" After a long time, he heard Alan ask softly.

"Well, yes." Levi's tone was still flat, he leaned against the stone wall casually with his arms folded, and looked at the bright moonlight outside, but he didn't explain in detail what the so-called strongest human would be afraid of Stuff, "Remember Alan, aside from the difference that you can turn into a giant... Anyway, you're just a 15-year-old brat."

In fact, in his eyes, that's all.

"Yes, Captain."

It wasn't until the boy's slightly trembling voice sounded in the empty corridor that he let out a breath imperceptibly.

——What a careless brat.

"Alan, aren't you afraid?" He stood in the line holding the child's hand, and asked Alan before entering the hall.

"No way!" As expected, he received a brave answer.

"Ah, yeah." Regardless, Levi decides to believe, "Ellen is pretty good."

"I'll protect Mr. Levi too!"

"Well, then I'll leave it to you." He said softly unconsciously.

It has to be said that compared with the previous one, the current child is different in some respects.But essentially, it's still the same.

According to the design, they are sitting on the train in the mansion, and they are about to circle around the mansion.

"It's really dark..." Levi looked up at the dim old light box and the simulated torches on the wall, and felt that if the former Corps headquarters were remodeled, it would definitely be a very successful haunted house.

"Mr. Levi, the car is about to start."

Gusts of gloomy wind were blowing from the dark tunnel, and just by imagining, one could tell that there was nothing good inside.He looked at the excited child with helplessness in his eyes.

"Understood, please sit down for me." Once again, he pushed the restless little trouble back to his seat.

Tch, I really don't worry.no matter which one.

Time flies by playing with the children, as if it is almost dusk in a blink of an eye.

The sky is getting darker and the number of people in the amusement park has decreased, which makes Levi feel a lot easier.

"We still have time to play the last project," he knelt down and took out the tissue that he carried with him, and dutifully wiped the sweat from the child's face due to strenuous exercise-this is what happened after he started to take care of Alan. One of the new habits he has formed, Levi thinks that if Erwin knows, he will be sincerely relieved.

"Hmm..." Allen looked around. At this time, all the lights in the playground had been turned on. The colorful lights were blurred, and the wooden horse was spinning with the crisp bells. The lights reflected the child's cheeks as if they were glowing.

He had to admit that the playground dotted with neon lights in the night was really beautiful.

"Haven't decided yet?" He asked the troubled child with a smile, "Then, let me choose this time."

Allen nodded in agreement, then waited expectantly for Levi's answer.

"Hey, Alan." The man pointed to the most eye-catching place in the audience and the most romantic place in the legend, "Do you want to ride the Ferris wheel?"

They didn't linger for too long, but they sat in the cage before more lovers gathered.

The child seemed to be on this thing for the first time, and he looked at the ground getting farther and farther away from them and the night sky getting closer and closer.

That feeling is that it seems that you can touch the quiet blue and stars just by stretching out your hand.

"It's so beautiful..." Alan leaned on the glass window of the compartment, panting.

Levi sat across from him, leaning his elbows against the window frame, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

The Ferris wheel was slowly turning under the night, and he was distracted thinking about how many people would be doing some romantic things at this moment.Not surprisingly, he thought of Petra, that lovely girl.

——Life without giants should be a little more romantic, Captain.

That's what she said, Levi fiddled with the red thread bracelet on his wrist unconsciously, and vaguely felt that he should do something at this time, at least not like now, just, just watching this kid.

"Alan."

"Yes? Mr. Levi?"

He still doesn't quite understand romance or something.

My nerves have long been honed into incomparable tenacity in countless battles, not to mention the emotional intelligence that Erwin has always looked down upon. Even if I have improved in this life, it will not be of much help.

So, what should be done at this time.

"The night scene is beautiful," his voice was extremely low in the small enclosed space, but not very clear. "We're almost at the top."

Allen blinked, a little confused.He's too young to hear the emotion in Levi's words.In fact, Levi didn't notice it himself, he just subconsciously did what his intuition should do.

"But you're too young now, brat." He reached out to the child, beckoning him to come to him.Allen moved closer obediently. "However, I am patient."

"Mr. Levi?" The child's green eyes seemed brighter against the light outside the window, and Levi smiled unconsciously again.

The ferris wheel turned slowly, and when it was near the highest point, he pressed two fingers on the soft lips of the child.

"Alan."

The moment he reached the top, Levi closed his eyes and kissed his fingers lightly.

Gentle and reverent.

Ellen.
