A War Hero With No Regrets

29 – Graveyard Preservation Records – Number 34 (2)

Lea’s record ended with the appearance of the super-giant titan Ouroboros.

The 34th preserved record of the Graveyard ended there.

“Wow… Wow… !! “Knock, knock!!”

After coming to her senses, Leah Gilead sat down on the floor and continued to gag.

Now.

Now I finally remembered.

Who was the person who appeared in my dreams every night, and who was the person I projected onto the captain of the Safety Bureau?

The same man who was sobbing while holding his own dead body.

The man who stood next to him and smiled at him.

The commander who always stood looking behind him like an old tree.

His appearance was moderately sharp, and to me he was always warm like sunlight.

His body was tall and sturdy. There was no way for a man to be this kind of man.

Moreover, whenever he was in danger, he showed up like a prince and saved him.

The list of reasons why I was attracted to Luthers was endless.

He was literally Leia Gilead’s perfect ideal type and the lover she eventually achieved.

Ah.

She had no choice but to fall in love.

Even after thirty-nine deaths and forty new lives, I ended up loving this person.

A person who should not be forgotten.

A person who must be found.

But he completely forgot about that person.

That fact was unbearably painful.

“Why, on earth…” Why this time, why this time… Remember….”

At the same time, I couldn’t understand it.

It was Luthers who always kept my memories alive.

Why didn’t he revive his memory this episode?

Why did you leave us?

Why did you throw me out?

If I showed interest, why did you push me away?

I hurt you without even knowing it.

You said you were a strange person and said bad things to others.

If only I knew he was this kind of person.

If you were the person I loved, the person I wanted to protect, the person I wanted to embrace even at the cost of my life.

I would never have said it that way.

“Why, why on earth is it like that… !!! Lutus, Commander Lutus!!!! Why!!! Why is that… Now I’m thinking of saying that I never thought I’d find my memories… ?”

Previous memories pass through my mind like a movie.

Every time Luthus pushed him away due to his poor pride, he headed to the bar to talk things out with his colleagues.

When everyone in the Grave Yard was criticizing Luthus, he laughed and countered, even though he couldn’t refute it.

I tried to tempt you by saying all kinds of crazy things.

That’s… , that… It wasn’t just a feeling that came from liking.

It was some kind of mistake.

Even though he was a person he could not embrace, he arbitrarily predicted the value of that person.

He was the one who insulted himself, but he mistakenly thought that he had insulted himself.

But.

You remember all of that.

Even though you were carrying all of that, you ended up saving the world?

Luthus Ethan’s voice was heard clearly.

-I told you to sacrifice your life for the victory of humanity, Leah.

-It was like that, right?

-I will sacrifice my life for your happiness. At the end, when this whole journey is over, I would be more than happy if you could all smile happily.

“Ah… , ahhh!!!”

Luthers Ethan.

My dear lover. It was more precious than anyone else. I fell asleep in his arms. We laughed together while looking at the moonlit night. I walked around holding her hand. Dancing under the bonfire.

I showed a side of me that no one knows about. He warmly hugged me even though I was extremely clumsy. He cried with me while I was crying. Even when I was irritated, angry, or sad, he always welcomed me.

Luthers Ethan.

“aaah!! Leah, Leah… !! “What on earth have you done!!!!!”

Leah ripped her head and screamed.

Thud, the brown hair that I cherished more than anything was violently pulled out.

Tears flow non-stop.

She was already exhausted, but her emotions were out of control.

“Ugh, ugh…” Black… Ugh… Ooh, ooh… !! Wow!! Crunch, crunch, crunch!! Ugh…….”

It was then.

Akya Sa’s dry voice came to Leah, who was struggling in her endless despair and guilt.

[Recovery of Leah Gilead’s records has ended. Would you like to view the records of the 34th episode, Luthers Ethan?]

“….”

Recovering memories was such a terrible thing.

Because she had to fully feel the terrible end she faced as her companion died.

That’s why Lutus always stopped recovery at this point.

He said there was no need to look into his own memories.

But there was no Luthus to say that now.

No.

I had to see it this time.

You must read part of the weight that Luther Ethan carries.

That way you will know.

He never talked about regression.

He said that his memories were entirely his own, and he did not want to show them to anyone.

Even for Argen Orca, whom she loved more than other women.

All they could do was hold Luthus’ hand and hug him whenever he had a nightmare.

“Huh, huh, record…. Turn it off, huh… , I’ll take a look… I will see, the story beyond my death that that person was seeing… You must see it.”

Leah stretched out her hand towards Akasha.

And again, her vision shined brightly.

In the memories of Luther’s Ethan that no one could invade.

He stood alone in the ruined fortress.

***

“Headquarters, respond. Headquarters. Signal corps? Respond!”

No matter how long he walked, Lutus Ethan sensed something strange.

I did not hear a reply.

Although the Infinite Labyrinth is far away from the Graveyard, it was strange that it could not be heard from a distance of less than 5km in a straight line.

The more I walked, the tighter my heart became.

Surely this time too?

‘No, that can’t be possible.’

Luthers immediately denied the worst situation that came to mind.

I was anxious, but if I acted hastily in the titan-occupied territory, I would most likely end up dead.

It took longer than expected to come back.

But isn’t it only a few days?

It has been three days since I entered the Infinite Labyrinth.

It took three days to return.

Not even a week has passed, and there is no way the Graveyard Fortress Command Center could have suddenly been destroyed.

In fact, when he was caught up in the Infinite Labyrinth and his reconnaissance regiment was destroyed, he had thoughts of committing suicide.

However, since it was his first time entering the Infinite Labyrinth, he decided to come see the end, and thanks to this, he was able to understand the entire structure of the Infinite Labyrinth.

With this alone, we can say that we have fully fulfilled our duties in this life.

‘Still… We need to find out what happened. It’s not too late to go and die then.’

Archen, Leah, Charlotte, Durand, Drake, Heinz, Lydia… And although he could not get used to the deaths of the countless soldiers and officers he fought with at the Graveyard.

Luthus was already used to his own death.

So I had to check.

What happened in the Graveyard?

You have to see and feel for yourself what happened in that cemetery while you were away.

Only in this way could it be used as nourishment for the next episode.

Since it is impossible to even take a single step forward, we cannot make the same mistakes as in the past.

“… ?!”

Rutus, who was heading towards the fort after cutting through the bushes and passing the trench line, was able to find his miserable body and a vehicle.

He had been dead for a few days.

The vehicle left next to the body belonged to the Graveyard.

The body’s upper body was cut off and the identity could not be confirmed, but Luthus could not shake off his ominous premonition.

“… “I need to move faster.”

Return was certain anyway.

It was obvious that not only Durand, the key personnel, but also the entire reconnaissance regiment had died, so they had to start over again.

Because I decided not to cause even a single death.

Luthers Ethan looked at the abandoned vehicle.

Fortunately, there seemed to be no problem.

Judging by the fact that only the driver’s side window was pierced, it must have been hit by a long-range sniper-type Titan.

But when I started the car, there was something strange about the date on the clock.

I thought it must have been less than a week, but almost two months have passed.

There were two possibilities.

The vehicle’s clock is broken.

The space and time of the infinite labyrinth was distorted.

“….”

Luthus comforted his dry lips.

If it had really been almost two months, the situation would have worsened out of control.

“You damn titans… It’s a real labyrinth, with time and space twisted… ?”

Now it wasn’t even surprising.

So, it was natural that humanity would be destroyed during the thirty-three regressions.

Bibibig.

Luthers activated the vital signal disruptor, which now had only a few hours left on its battery.

It may not be able to hide the vehicle, but it will be able to confuse the titans by making its signal undetectable.

Rutus got into the vehicle and raced straight toward the Graveyard.

Soon, the view of the fortress came into view in the distance.

There was damage here and there, and black smoke was rising.

The fortress was attacked.

Luthers stepped on the accelerator pedal further.

The moment I passed the entrance of the ruined fortress and entered the parade ground.

“… Uh, d, ah.”

A human voice that seemed to have been modulated into a mechanical sound was heard.

Luthus suddenly stepped on the brakes as a horrifying sensation penetrated him from head to toe.

Kkieeek-!!!!

The vehicle skidded and left dark skid marks on the parade ground.

As the thick dust rose like a storm settled down.

“Lu, Teo, Su.”

There was a titan there.

Has the face of Leah and the voice of Leah.
