A War Hero With No Regrets

30 – Graveyard Preservation Records – Number 34 (3)

Titans were basically organisms.

The fluid has a sticky slime-like appearance, and after molting for three days, it evolves into a form similar to a caterpillar.

People called it weak.

From then on, the titan strengthens its genetic properties in various ways and changes its form by ingesting metals present around it.

In terms of size, it is classified into ultra-small, small, medium, medium-large, large, huge, and ultra-large.

In terms of shape, it was divided into plant type, insect type, soft-bodied type, reptile type, mammal type, and animal type.

It has not been clearly revealed why titans take the form of animals and plants.

Titans had such biological characteristics.

But what was in front of Luthus was different from any titan he had ever seen.

No matter how you look at it, it was in the shape of a human.

There was also something that looked like an organ.

A hideous lump of flesh that seemed to be modeled after a woman’s form–maybe it was actually a ‘body’–was drawing streamlined curves.

And countless mechanical devices and wires connected to those pieces of flesh.

It was too realistic to be considered an imitation.

It was too bizarre to be true and I couldn’t accept it.

More than anything, the fact that she looked like Leah on the outside was the most terrifying thing.

Why?

Why does she look like that?

What on earth happened?

Luthus instinctively pulled out his gun at the sight of what he could only assume was a titan.

Beep Bibi Big. Beep beep beep.

At the same time, the bio-disruption device that was in operation was turned off.

‘It’, which was wandering around the parade ground like a zombie, turned its head and looked at Lutus.

Yellow eyes flash. When her mouth opened, her crackling, mechanical voice came out.

“No one…” Yeah. Go, do it… “Give it to me.”

Luthers’ hands were shaking.

The face he was trying so hard to deny appeared clearly before Luthus’s eyes.

“Leah.”

That name I called without even knowing.

And as if recognizing her name, it – no, she began to approach Luthus.

“Lea, Leah!!”

Click, load the pistol.

Luthers was overcome with fear.

“Leaaa!!!!!”

I wasn’t afraid of the titans.

That she must admit that her monster is her, and that she must be shot with her own hand, that she has done what she did while she herself was carrying her labyrinth. The fact is that I can’t even imagine what happened.

Luthers was too scared to accept it easily.

Three pairs of sky-blue tentacles sprouted from Leah’s back and fluttered.

“Ah, green onion, mu, sen…” Doing things, hey… ?”

“Guk, yeo, chara…” Lee, porridge… Give me….”

“Leah… Sorry. Ostrich… !!”

Taang!!!!

Luth closed his eyes tightly and pulled the trigger.

The bullet fired from her pistol pierced right between her eyes.

“aaah!!! aaah!!! It hurts!! “What are you doing?”

She let out her scream.

As if responding, Lutus roared in pain.

“Dog sh*t!! f*ck you bastards!!!!!”

Bang!! Taaang!! Bang!!

Fire continued to pour out from the muzzle of the gun.

“It hurts, it hurts!! Luthers, Luthers… Where, where did you go… From these monsters, us… They said they would protect us… !! It hurts!!! aaah!!!”

Tang, Taang! Bang!!! Bang!! Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!

“f*ck, f*ck!! Sivaaal!!! f*ck!!!”

The gunshots were covered with cruel swear words.

When the gunfire finally stopped and Leah’s screams also stopped.

Luthers’ vision turned bright red.

It was because all the blood vessels in his right eye had burst.

“f*ck you, bastards… Sis haircut… “You guys!!!”

Luthers threw down the pistol.

The plasma knife he was wearing on his thigh was tightly held in both his hands.

The sleeping titans begin to pour out due to the gunfire that shook the ruined fortress.

It was a face everyone knew.

Luthus tore his clothes and covered his bloodshot eyes.

I couldn’t die until I left them rest.

And I had to check Akasha and see with my own eyes what happened here.

That’s right.

Because only then can we move on.

Because we can move forward together with everyone.

Because you won’t have to see this sh*t.

“Death, decree, government… !!”

“Well, that’s right!!!”

Luthus jumped towards the group of Titans.

Houston of the 1st Battalion, Porco of the Signal Corps, Lucy of the Supply Division, Helian of the Intelligence Division, Bernoat, Justia, Erewen, Hobbs, Jack, and Marian of the Operations Division.

I keep everyone’s names and faces in my memory.

No matter what pain they suffered, we are willing to bear their pain in an episode that will once again be forgotten.

Cut off the azure tentacles. He stepped on the decapitated body, jumped, and stabbed the dagger into the top of Hubert’s head of the 4th Battalion.

Cut down the artillery Aslan attacking from a blind spot. He kicks the screaming guy, knocks him down, and shatters his heart, which has been replaced by a mechanical device.

Thousands of blows. The deepest part of the Graveyard, reached after dismantling hundreds of titans alone.

My arm didn’t move properly. The muscles appeared to be completely damaged.

Like the legs, it was surprising how they were moving.

But there was no rest there either.

Giant eggs filled the space with Akasha at the center.

“Ha, hahahaha….”

Luthus let out a dry laugh at the sight of his subordinates mutating into hideous forms inside the translucent egg.

Of course.

His lovers, who would have defended the fortress until the end, were also here.

“Argenta, Charlotte. Were you guys here too? .”

He trudged towards the giant eggs, caressed their surface, and spoke.

Bubbling, bubbles rose from the mouths of the naked women.

Is he alive?

It’s over now.

This kind of horrible episode should no longer exist.

“Akasha. “The 34th episode ends here.”

Then, red light flowed from Akasha, which was silent as if it was broken.

As soon as the fortress fell, all systems were automatically shut down.

So that the titans do not notice their existence.

[Identifying the voice, confirming that it is the target fortress commander Luthus Ethan.]

[Confirmation of end of session declaration. Memory synchronization begins.]

Lutus plopped down in front of Akasha and rummaged through his pockets.

With trembling hands, I put the crumpled cigarette in my mouth and light it.

[Memory synchronization complete. Graveyard self-destruct sequence activated.]

[10. 9. 8. 7….]

“This life sucked like no other…” .”

Letting out the last word that has now become a habit.

[You have worked hard in this life as well.]

[Sacrifice your life for humanity.]

A huge explosion blew away Luthus Ethan’s consciousness.

***

When all the memories were finished replaying.

Leah Gilead had already left the fortress and was running.

I had to find it.

Luthers Ethan, I had to find that man and hug him tightly.

We overcame all those terrible memories and achieved victory with just the determination not to burden ourselves this time.

She had to hug her lover tightly.

I had to heal my broken heart.

I had to become his strength.

As much as I have not been able to do so until now, I had to pour out love that was several times greater than the size of the sin I had committed.

Please.

Please give me one more chance.

“Kyaaa!!?”

Thump.

Leah tripped on a rock she hadn’t seen and lost her balance and fell.

I rolled around on the floor.

I got my face stuck in the mud and my cheek cut by a tree branch.

It didn’t hurt at all.

No, rather, I wanted to feel pain.

Her heart hurt so much, it felt like it was going to break, and if things continued like this, she would really die.

“Ah, ah… , aaa!!!”

I miss you. I miss you like crazy. I want to call that name. I want to hear your sweet voice whispering my name.

I want to tell jokes over dinner. Now that the war is over, I want to go to a fancy restaurant and splurge with you. I want to pay. While you were in the bathroom, I secretly calculated the bill and I want to see you looking embarrassed.

I also want to go to an amusement park. I want to see you happy and smiling brightly. I want to take a walk around town. I want to enjoy a cup of coffee in a cafe with a nice atmosphere and watch people on the street.

I also want to go shopping. I want to buy some slutty clothes just for you and show them off that night. I want to hug you while looking at your surprised expression.

When I wake up in the morning, I want to straighten my messy hair and brush my teeth together. Then, when our eyes meet, I naturally want to kiss.

I want to see you off on your way to work and prepare a delicious dinner when you return. I want to share how my day was today and my daily life.

But.

“I, I…” .”

I can’t.

It is a life she is not allowed to live.

It was just as he said.

Luther Ethan regained the freedom he had longed for.

He will leave the terrible and miserable military gate and live his days with the woman who matches with him.

All the life that Leah Gilead wanted was a dream that could never come true.

As soon as she realized that, tears started flowing from her eyes.

The sun had just risen and was shining brightly in the sky.

However, Leia Gilead was still left in the shadows.
