21 HOME!!!! (2/2)
Mikasa found his words strange and couldn't help herself from asking ” how can we have an adventure in this cruel world??”
”Hahaha!! It's only the beginning, also, as long as I am alive, I will make this world a better place for us, and the best part of that I will never die”
Mikasa didn't say anything as she focused on the last part of his words ” I will never die”, she remembered the day he was crushed under the rock, his blood was everywhere even on her own clothes and now when she looked at him, not even a scar can be seen
Mikasa's train of thought was cut by a voice coming from behind them
”OI!! BRATS, WHERE ARE YOU GOING??” a rough voice of a man in the uniform of the military police came from behind, he is a man with brown head and beard, his rifle is on his back, he was out of breath with sweat all over his body
Ace looked at him and said ” we are leaving, that's what we are doing”
the man's frown grows bigger as he pointed at the two of them ” who are those on your shoulders??”
”our friends” Answered Ace” and I think we should get going, let's go Mikasa” he turned to leave
when he saw them leaving the man gritted his teeth and shouted ” BRAT!! STOP RIGHT NOW!!”
Ace become irritated with the man's shouting ' unnecessary shouts' he thought
” What do you want??” he asked, Mikasa too was having the same feelings as Ace
” next month you will start farming, go back to your assigned house and stay there, you are not allowed to leave the farmlands ever” he said with somehow an anxious face, it's like he was looking at his bag of money causing Ace to frown, he remembered his father's words after talking to him before coming here
Ace looked at the man for a moment, no one said a word, only the cold wind of the winter could be heard, as finally took his eyes from the man and look at Mikasa ” How much do you get paid each month??” once this question was asked the man's body became stiff for a moment, that didn't escape Ace's eyes
”2 golden coins each month, we are allowed to leave the farmlands each week to buy our food supplies” she said
Ace made a thinking expression on his face and said with a confused tone ” I thought it was 5 Golds a month” his words made Mikasa turn sharply at the man whose face became strangely devoided of life, his eyes looked at them with desperation, he slowly reached to his rifle and pointed at them ” you should've stayed silent”
Mikasa put Armin on the ground quickly and she got in front of Ace in order to protect him but Ace only found this funny ” How are you going to explain the death of us?” he asked as he too put Eren on the ground
” Kids die in the winter every year, that's what happened to you,” he said with a cruel smile that came from his desperation
Ace pulled Mikasa behind him and walked to the man who shouted ” DON'T MOVE!!!”
Ace didn't mind him and came even closer, the rifle now is on his head making Mikasa afraid as she called his name and tried to come and protect him, he raised his hand at her and said ” just stand there”
the man's hands started trembling and his body started to sweat again ” What is wrong never killed anyone before??” Ace said to the man before he swiftly reached for the man's wrist and broke his arm
”GHAAAAAA!!!” the man howled in pain as he dropped the rifle and held his broken arm with its bone going to the side ” be grateful that she is here today or you will have to die” Ace bent down to the man and said in his ears
”Tell me what is your name??” he asked causing the man to be confused in the middle of his pain, Ace reached his hand to the man's good arm and said ” your name or your other hand”
the man felt fear creeping in his heart from Ace cruelty and he shouted in hurry ” B-B-BAZ, BAZ MANDA!!!”tears fell from his cheeks with his disgusting snout, Ace rubbed the man's head with a smile ” Good boy”
he turned to Mikasa who was watching from earlier, she was tense at first but as soon as he broke the man's arm she relaxed
”Let's go” both of em picked Armin and Eren and left the man on the ground fighting the pain in his arm
after reaching the carriage, they made Armin and Eren sit inside so they won't take much space while supporting themselves on the wall of the carriage, the driver came back when he saw Ace came back and they rode back to the mansion in the Mimiria city
on the way back, Mikasa remembered something and said ” we forgot to pick the money we saved ”
Ace smiled at her and said ” leave the money to the lucky guy who will find and in the meantime, you should focus on something more important don't you think?? ”
question marks popped up on Mikasa's head as she tilted her head to the side with a confused look making Ace chuckles at her reaction
”Mother is furious,” he said making Miasa feel fear, a feeling she didn't feel in a long time as cold sweat runs down her back
