A new life in hell (reader x attack on titan)

Chapter XXIII: Trust

(Hange's POV)

I was standing on the edge of the Trist District, looking down at the contraption that took weeks of time to prepare. It went along the wall between the foundation's pillars. It was mostly a web of Eren's hardened titan body and after a lot of help from (Y/N) who had to shape the crystal into shape and had to jump up and down several times to get the chains set and wood structure built.

But at the moment, my only focus was on the titan that was going after the garrison soldier inside the web that (Y/N) was guarding as a fail safe. Moblit was next to me, making sure that I didn't lean to far out, Levi was observing with his usual darkened expression, Eren was besides his captain and the reporters and garrison soldiers were right behind me taking notes with hopeful or skeptical looks on their faces.

Then the chain holding the pillar was released. The piece of wood flew down the 50 meter shaft and crashed on the titan's neck with a solid thud. When the smoke and dirt cleared, we could clearly see a titan corpse, desistergrating slowly with a huge crater in his nape area.

"YAHOO!" I exclaimed. "It's down!"

"Thank god..." prayed Eren falling to his knees.

I started jumping in excitement despite Moblit's protests, and when (Y/N) jumped up on the wall with the soldier alive, I was even happier. Not only did the titan die, but no human lives had to be sacrificed.

"Reporters! Write this down, spread the news now!" I ordered as their scribbled enthusiastically.

"Yeagers! We did it! Let's go make more and-" my sentence was cut when I saw the twins on the ground with Levi crouching infront of them.

Eren had a pretty bad nosebleed that didn't show any sign of stopping. Levi gave him a handkerchief from his coat pocket. And as for the girl, she was on all fours next to the titan shifter, panting and wheezing, her skin even paler than usual and the bright aqua eyes that she shared with her brother were dimed and blurry with a rare level of fatigue.

"My god... I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" I asked concerned.

"These two have been doing non stop experiments and construction for days. They have nothing left in the tank. I think the guillotines will have to wait a bit." explained the corporal.

"No." they both said at the same time.

They helped each other up, Eren kept dabbing his bleeding nose and (Y/N) was leaning on her brother for support.

"Don't apologize section commander Hange." started Eren. "There's no need to worry about me now, look at what we accomplished. We're not stopping because I'm a little tired."

"And my job is to follow orders and to protect the Scouts with my very life. I won't let my little bro tire himself to death making these things alone, I will continue." declared (Y/N).

"Let's make more." they both finished.

I walked up to them and wrapped both of them in my arms. I would have cried but I didn't want to seem too soft.

"You guys are miracle workers. Thank you. With this, retaking Wall Maria looks closer than it ever has before." I said.

(Levi's POV) about 3 hours later

I walked out of the meeting room with Hange, Erwin, Darius Zackly and (Y/N). We were just getting out of the debrief with the higher ups, I didn't want to be there, but apparently shitty glasses needed be to there. She have them a full report on the guillotine and Erwin explained the parts of a plan that we had to retake the Shiganshina district.
