At night, at Ronan's home.
Unlike the deserted state in the past, today is particularly lively.
Eren's family of four, Harry and Martha, plus Ronan himself, a total of seven people stayed together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The Shiganshina District is not small, nor is it big. As a doctor who made outstanding contributions during the outbreak of the epidemic in the wall, Grisha's reputation is unquestionable. Even the rich or nobles living in the mainland will invite him as a doctor from time to time.
And it just so happens that Harry and Martha are two of the patients of the previous epidemic. Naturally, they know Grisha, the lifesaver. After some communication and explanation, the two families get along very harmoniously. The warm atmosphere made Ronan experience the feeling of home for the first time in a long time.
It's a pity that happy times always pass so quickly.
Because this place is far from home, Uncle Harry and Aunt Martha had to go home first.
When they returned, Aunt Martha, who already knew Ronan's future intentions, had to give some instructions and persuasion.
It's a pity that Ronan had already made up his mind.
Watching the two people leaving, Ronan whispered,"Sorry, I have reasons to do this."
"Why not tell them face to face?"
Grisha's voice came from behind.
Turning around, I saw him looking at me gently.
""Where are Eren and the others?" Ronan changed the subject.
Grisha looked at Ronan meaningfully and stared at the towering city wall in the distance under the night sky.
"Ronan, you seem to be very interested in the outside world. Aren't you afraid of giants?"
"I'm afraid~"
He replied without hesitation. Without waiting for Grisha's response, Ronan continued,"Because I'm afraid, I have to go out. I can't lose my desire to explore because of fear. I don't want to be kept in the city walls like livestock.~"
"livestock...?..?"Grisha's eyes were deep.
Seeing this, Ronan asked casually,"Uncle, I heard Uncle Keith say that you seemed to have walked out of the city wall before. If you hadn't met him, you might not have come back."
Hearing this, Grisha suddenly came to his senses, and his originally peaceful mood fluctuated significantly, but he quickly recovered and said calmly,"Yes, I used to be curious about what it was like outside the city wall. I really have to thank Keith. If it weren't for him, I would definitely die outside the wall."
As if some unbearable memories were evoked, Grisha said with lingering fear,"Compared with the giants, human power is really too small."
"really...If there were no city walls, we would have been eaten by giants long ago. I wonder if there are any other humans outside the city walls besides us, and if there is an endless sea at the end of the continent....Sea?" Ronan continued to probe.
It seemed that he said it unintentionally, but his eyes had been paying attention to the changes in Grisha's expression.
Of course, Ronan had no ill intentions, and he had no intention of taking the power of the Attack Titan from Grisha. After all, he wanted to live a long life.
Hearing this, Grisha's expression did not change, but his slightly flickering eyes showed that he was not calm.
"ocean..."What a beautiful word. Did you see it in a document?" Grisha smiled. Ronan nodded and said
,"Yes, I saw it in a book by accident. I just don't know if the sea really exists. If it does exist, I really want to go and see it.~"
"If the sea really exists, we will see it someday. Grisha whispered.
""Yeah~" Ronan responded.
In his heart, he confirmed his previous guess about Grisha's current state. The other party has never given up the goal of seizing the power of the Founding Titan, and has been working hard for this for so many years.
Even though he has already started a family and had children inside the wall, his national responsibility forced him to continue to complete his mission.
Feeling that the atmosphere had become a little dull, Grisha smiled and said,"It's about time, we should go back. Come and see your Aunt Carla often. She talks about you every day.~"
"I will~" Ronan smiled.
Grisha patted Ronan on the shoulder as usual, and then turned around and walked back into the house.
Soon, Carla and the other two came out under his lead.
After a brief farewell, Ronan was left alone in the house.
"Power of the Founding Titan...Ymir...Attack on Titan....Eren~~~"
Sorting out the plot contents of this world in his mind, Ronan looked for a suitable entry point, but soon, he reacted:
"Why think about this now? Let's just deal with the conscription meeting first...."
