Never Always Alone

Great Loss

Next morning

The main unit of the Scout Regiment were setting out for their mission and the crowd was seeing them off. They are the elite Scouts, known for their great skills.

Citizen 1: It is here! The main unit of the Scout Regiment!

Citizen 2: Commander Erwin, give those titans a real thrashing!

Citizen 3: Look! It is Captain Levi!

Citizen 4: They say he is as mighty as an entire brigade!

Levi: Tch! Talk about annoying...

Eren: This is nothing like five years ago! People actually feel hopeful about the Scout members!

Hanna : Yes, everyone has cheered up since then. Nothing happened in five years.

Franz: They have upgraded the mounted cannons too. I doubt the Colossal Titan will show up.

Hanna: Yup!

Eren: That is a load of crap, you idiotic couple!

Hanz: What!? Us, a married couple?

Franz: You are getting ahead of yourself, Eren!

Eren: Whatever...

Hannes: Hey, guys!

Eren: Mr. Hannes!

Hannes: I heard you graduated yesterday. Man, you three have really grown up.

Eren: You too, Mr Hannes! You used to be a drunkard, but now you are the chief of Corps of Engineers.

Hannes: Oh, you! I am sorry I could not save your mom.

Eren: It was not your fault.

Hannes: What?

Eren: We are not ignorant anymore. We won't let another tragedy like that happen. We will defeat the titans!

Hannes (in his mind): I do not know if I should be happy that you have grown up or not. Do not go dying, now.

Later up the walls of Trost, Eren and his squad members are doing some maintenance on the new upgraded cannons.

Eren: Huh!? You are joining the Scouts!? Connie! You were so set on the Military Police!

Connie: Yes, I was! But...

Mina: Sounds like your speech yesterday won him over!

Eren: Oh, is that so?

Connie: Shut up! I decided on my own!

Thomas: Do not be so embarrassed. You are not the only one.

Eren: Thomas...You don't mean...

Sasha: Well, everyone? I brought some meat from the officers' storehouse!

Eren: Sasha! Do you seriously want to end up in a solitary confinement!?

Samuel: You really are crazy!

Sasha: We can all share it together later...All sliced up and between some bread...

Connie: Go put it back!

Mina: Yes! After we lost all that land, meat has become really valuable.

Sasha: It will be fine! We can just get more cattle and sheep once we retake our land!

Sasha went and put the stolen meat in the chest and all the cadets were craving for them except Eren knowing the risk of it.

Samuel: I will have some meat too!
