Friendly reminder that both genders are physically similar and hermaphroditic. The details of said anatomical aspects are revealed in my profile. The reason why I said that will be revealed at the end of the chapter. No, there's no lemon! Just a bunch of dirty jokes you're most likely to cringe at.

Crossovers briefly mentioned from one punch man, high school dxd, tokyo ghoul, killing bites and gintama.

It stands tall covered in dirt and grime just like how I saw it the last time. We were all staring at the nightmare building against the dark cloudy sky from atop our steeds as if mentally preparing ourselves for what's awaiting us inside.

We gave it just one more day of preparation until it was time for us to invade that horrid building again. We couldn't afford further delays as we didn't want to risk any more casualties the longer we left that place as it is. We didn't even bring everyone to participate in this new investigation. Just Hanji, Levi and me. The two of us in turn brought only a couple of subordinates from their squad members who were strong enough to join.

Levi brought Eren and Mikasa. While Marcus and Edward tagged along with me. Eren and Ed were two of the able-bodied owing to their abilities – Eren being a werewolf shifter with rapid regeneration and Edd being an alchemist – the latter's automail initially gave him trouble to normally walk and so he managed to take care of his prosthetic leg in the last couple days using his alchemy to fix it and hence managed to join us. Mikasa is here thanks to Eren obviously. As for Marcus... he looked awfully determined to come this time. As if refusing to allow a repeat of what had happened. He even walked in my room this morning voicing his guilt over letting me go on that investigation alone and that if he had been there, he would have been able to do something to help. Kinda reminded me of myself over Lucy's incident.

So it's only natural that I sit alone with my subordinate and give him the same kind of talk I had received from Levi, making sure to whack him with a book every time he says something I disapprove off

A few words and bonks to the head later, he felt a heck of a lot better than he did earlier. But still looking determined all the same to be invited to the action awaiting us, which I didn't argue against one bit.

The others still needed some time to recover. They weren't just physically exhausted but slightly impaired too. And yet, despite their conditions, they still took the time and energy to check on me, when I was in a relatively better state than they were in. It made me feel bad yet it remains something I appreciate beyond measure.

I fucking love our kids really...

They weren't horribly crippled though and it's safe to say they're somewhat fine. Annie had her shoulder dislocated but just like Eren, she too is a lycanthrope and can heal at a pace much faster than that of a normal person. Her shoulder bone got adjusted back to its socket in no time and yet she isn't very much in a perfect state owning to her exhaustion-induced lethargy and instead chose to stay home and care for the injured whenever possible.
