Searching for happiness (Attack on titan X Fairy Tail Crossover)

Chapter V - Facing a ghost

"Levi?", she asked me and looked at me sadly with her big innocent eyes. Somewhat annoyed, I turned my eyes to her and snorted. She saw that I was busy cleaning, how could she dare interrupt me?

"Well ... I found a book in one of the old boxes down in the basement. But somehow I do not quite understand the words that are in there. These are all so strange words I've never heard of. ", she said, crossing her arms. I sighed softly and raised an eyebrow.

"Why are you coming to me with this?", I asked her, setting aside the broom with which I had just swept the floor.

"You're the only one right here.", she grumbled, glaring at me. She did not like it when I was always so derogatory to her.

"And besides, with you I'm not so embarrassed if I do not know something.", she added . Her determined look now turned into a pleading, almost uncertain expression, and once again I realized that she was much more worried about following the two of us in intelligence. My gaze softened slightly, and I sighed, louder this time and took a step towards her.

"Which words do you not understand?", I asked her, although I did not really feel like giving a lesson. Then a faint smile returned to her face and she conjured up a thin book behind her back.

"Well, a lot. Actually, the whole book.", she exclaimed a little annoying about herself and I drove through my hair.

"Why do not you just take another book then?", I asked her annoyed. Sometimes she could be really stubborn. For a moment she gave me a scowl.

"Dumbass. Then I would never learn anything if I immediately put everything aside, which I do not understand.", she snapped at me and inside I had to agree with her. Where she sometimes lacked thought or intelligence, she made up for it with her toughness and willpower.

"Besides, I liked the front cover so much.", she said happily, holding it under my nose. On it was a blooming and colorful landscape with two persons, who were clothed only by a few leaves of a tree.

"Um ... where exactly did you get this book from?", I asked a bit confused and a slight suspicion crept into my thoughts.

"Huh? Why? It was in a box down in the basement. Probably from the guy who used to live here.", she replied cheerfully, opening the first page of the book. I frowned in confusion, thinking weakly of the man who had lived here before. He had been a rather foul smelling and very unpleasant contemporary.

"Here, for example. The first word.", she now said slightly frustrated and looked at me, "There's something about the book, but I do not understand it. What is a ‚pornography'?". Surprised, I blinked at her and stood for a moment. Where was this damned boy when you needed him? I may have been the eldest of the three of us, but that's why I did not have to take sexuality education for the others. And why did she have to grab a book like that?

"I ... think you should just take another book.", I tried to change her mind and for the first time I did not really know what to say to her. With wide eyes she looked at me disappointed.

"What? Why? But I want this book. What is such a ‚pornography'?", she persisted and I scratched something embarrassed at the back of my head. Well, how did I explain that best now?

"Oh, that's what you're doing when I'm not here.", suddenly his laughing voice cut the uncomfortable spot and inside I was glad for this distraction. Her head shot to the door and she ran to him. Good luck, I thought inwardly, as I watched him embarrassed to explain this book to her.
