Schultz was still with Emilia, he pushes the walls from her stomach away, but they were much stronger than him. He coughed as he felt his air running low. He couldn't cover his nose and push at the same time, he was being smothered alive.

"E-emilia... please...let...me............", the boy can no longer speak.

The giant sat alone in her rock and felt the resistance stop. She sigh and forced herself to vomit, Schultz coughs and gasped for air. He looks up at the huntress and back at the floor. He is picked up and taken to the bathroom to wash him. There is silences as she washed him throughly. He stared up at her and gulped as her strong grip gave him a small squeeze.

She dresses up the boy in his uniform and carried him to a different mountain, there are loads of bullets and bomb shells there. She walks over the bullets and gravel, slowly she climbs, trying not to slip on the bullets. She held Schultz in her left hand as she climbed with her right.

She sank into the mud a bit, making walking a lot harder, there was barb wire everywhere and traps set by humans that never sprung for years. Emilia accidentally steps on a mine.

"Ugh..,you'd be surprised by how many I detonate...",  she said "this could be deadly if I was going down hill"
