Levi opened his eyes. He was greeted by cold breeze

"Damn it I forgot to close the window now this room is now filled with germs!!" he huffed in frustration

He was living in a house that the azumabitos helped him build. A sign of their appreciation

They have been supporting him ever since today because of the participation of saving Hizuru and the whole world

But despite that he was alone in house. A very silent house with no soul but his own resides.

He properly arranged his bed

He went downstairs and started to prepare his morning tea. He was still waiting for the kettle to whistle

Suddenly he saw a girl patiently waiting beside the stove flash through his eyes but when he blinked she suddenly disappeared

He turned off the stove and poured the boiling water in his teacups. He will always prepare two tea waiting for someone to drink it

He drank his tea quietly in a quiet kitchen. After finishing the tea he took his coat

He then saw a photograph. It was a picture of the twins that was sent by the queen. Apparently the two were still in Paradis. The queen was taking care of the two

It's not like he could take care of them. They always exchanged letters but sending letters takes months to arrive so it was very difficult to keep on contact

He then heard a cat meowing

The cat's fur is pure black with blue eyes somehow Levi felt attached to the feline. It started visiting him a few months ago

It's quite good at catching mice so he let the cat stay

He then patted the cat in the head and poured the milk into it's bowl

"You stay by my side somehow, Faye" he mumbled to the cat. Faye was the name he made for the cat

"Well I'm off to go. Don't make a mess" he said the cat meowed as if it was replying to him

He then visited the busy streets. The people were all staring at him. It's the scar isn't it?

Somehow immune to all the stares he casually walk to the flower shop

"Ah!! Mr. Ackerman it's nice to see you again are you going to buy the usual" the store clerk said in a very friendly manner Levi simply nodded in reply

The store clerk placed a bouquet of rindou flowers also known as the autumn bellflower

Levi payed for it and left the store

"Uncle Levi!!" someone yelled

He then saw Falco and Gabi running towards him

"What are you brats up to?" he asked

"Nothing really" Falco replied

"What about you Uncle Levi?" Gabi asked. Levi shifted his gaze at the bouquet

"I'm going to visit her" he replied

"You can come if you want" he said

"Are thos-" Falco said but was cut off

"Rindou flowers that were her favorites" Levi stated

"Oh is that so?" Falco said

"Can you tell us more about her?" Gabi asked

"Gabi don't be inconsiderate" Falco scolded

"I'm just asking" she retorted

"She's an Airhead" Levi replied the two kids shifted their focus on him
