In the past, Mikasa Ackerman had fought many people on this street, from burly men to those with immense strength... but none of them could defeat her. In other words, Mikasa Ackerman has never lost a fight to this day.

This time, she did the same thing.

Her eyes sharpened.

Lin Yan was the same; his once harmless eyes became incredibly sharp, yet they also revealed a hint of warmth and indifference.

Lin Yan will not underestimate his opponent.

However, although Mikasa Ackerman is powerful enough, she is not even in the same league as Lin Yan. With just a flick of her finger, Mikasa would be doomed to lose.

"bring it on."

Mikasa said.

She is an amazing girl.

I have never been cowardly or retreated.

Once Mikasa Ackerman sets her mind on something, she will stick to it to the end. She will definitely hold onto what she wants.

Lin Yan nodded.

"Okay, let's get started."

……

Half an hour later.

After one hour.

Two hours later.

Mikasa Ackerman was gradually becoming breathless. She had never been so engrossed in anything before. This wasn't a brawl; this was a battle, a one-on-one duel. And all those people before her were fools, ignorant, and incompetent... Only this one could be considered a true opponent; he was powerful enough.

It's really powerful.

This was the first time Mikasa Ackerman had such a strong urge to defeat someone.

She is determined to defeat this person.

She admitted defeat.

At least this time, we lost.

"I lost, and I accept my defeat."

Mikasa Ackerman looked at Lin Yan and then fell silent. Lin Yan, in turn, didn't show any aggressive demeanor. Instead, she looked at Lin Yan's smiling face with surprise. This person sometimes seemed so cold, yet at other times so warm.

Human nature can be truly unpredictable at times.

Perhaps the most difficult thing to understand in this world is the human heart? And perhaps the most precious thing is also this unpredictable human heart.

"I accept my loss, and you won. I admit you are strong enough, at least much stronger than me, and I realize that."

"You're right, I need to become stronger."

"To become stronger."

Mikasa Ackerman eventually began to mutter to herself. It was truly the first time she had ever seen such a powerful boy who was about her age. Perhaps this boy would play a crucial role in her future life.

A question arose in her mind.

Who exactly is this boy?

At this moment, Mikasa Ackerman stared at the boy who had suddenly appeared in her life, unable to recall him no matter how hard she tried. Actually, Mikasa's memory was quite good; she wouldn't forget him.

Even if it's just a brief encounter, you should still have a vague impression of each other.

There is only one explanation.

That is, Mikasa Ackerman and Lin Yan never met.

Then Mikasa's doubts will only deepen.

Where exactly does he come from?

And what is their identity?

How did he get inside the city walls...? No, should we say Lin Yan is from inside the walls? If he's from outside the walls, then how did he get inside? No, that's not right. He couldn't be from outside the walls; those who came from outside have already been wiped out.

The only explanation is that Lin Yan comes from another place inside the walls, and is very far away from here.

Of course, the fastest way is to help Lin Yan regain his memories.

However, Mikasa doesn't know how Lin Yan lost his memory, so she doesn't know how to treat the problem. Moreover, this world not only lacks medical care and medicine, but also has a harsh environment.

Mr. Grisha Yeager is a doctor.

Perhaps he has a solution.

A glimmer of hope rekindled in Mikasa Ackerman's heart.

"Sorry, I was daydreaming. What did you say?"

Mikasa Ackerman snapped out of her daze and looked at Lin Yan somewhat shyly; she was rarely the type to be shy.

He was expressionless at that moment.

But a thought stirred within me.

Lin Yan suddenly remembered something and asked.

"By the way, what time is it now? What year is it?"

"which year?"

"Yes, which year? Tell me."

Mikasa Ackerman was slightly taken aback before realizing that Lin Yan's memory was incomplete, so he naturally didn't know what year or month it was.

So he answered.

"845."

"Year 845?"

"What's wrong?"

"nothing."

In 845, the Shiganshina district at the southern end was breached by the Colossal Titan, and subsequently Wall Maria was breached by the Armored Titan, and Shiganshina fell under the control of the Titans from this point onward.

It turns out that time really wasn't running out. Lin Yan had no way of verifying the exact day they entered the Shiganshina district.

The only information we received was that the giants might attack today or tomorrow, or perhaps within a year, but at most by the end of the year.

Time will not change.

Mikasa Ackerman hesitated for a moment before asking.

"You seem to have something on your mind?"

"No, it's just that I have a fierce appearance by nature."

"You didn't."

Mikasa retorted.

It was actually a reflexive rebuttal, but after saying it, Mikasa realized it could easily be misunderstood. It was simply the truth, though, to the boy before her.

He was incredibly handsome, with a sculpted face and distinct features, his angular face was exceptionally beautiful.

He may appear carefree and unrestrained, but the shrewd glint in his eyes makes him a force to be reckoned with.

She had thick, jet-black hair, and beneath her sword-like eyebrows were a pair of slender, captivating eyes that were so alluring that one could easily fall for them.

Her high, straight nose and perfectly proportioned red lips were now adorned with a dazzling smile.

Even Mikasa had to admit that he truly…

It is the easiest way to attract people's attention.

"Cough cough."

Lin Yan seemed to notice Mikasa Ackerman's gaze as well. He coughed a few times, and Mikasa finally snapped out of her reverie. This person, who had never shown much emotion, was not as calm and collected as she appeared on the surface.

At that moment, ripples of emotion stirred within her.

These ripples represent Mikasa Ackerman's feelings.

She was, after all, a young woman in her prime. Girls her age often experience the stirrings of first love and are easily moved by men they like. They might lose sleep, constantly thinking about someone. But would Mikasa Ackerman experience the same thing?

A gust of wind blew.

His short, jet-black hair, as dark as ink, fluttered in the wind.

Speaking of which, Mikasa is an exceptionally talented person, and her appearance is also top-notch. However, no boy would deliberately approach Mikasa, mostly because of the aura she exudes that keeps strangers at bay.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted."

"It's alright, we should go back now. Otherwise, Aunt Carla will worry."

"We also need to check if Allen has gone back."

Are you her mother?

"Madam?"

“I was just using an analogy. Alan is a teenager now, not a child. You can’t watch him all the time.”

The two had completely unrelated conversations.

Lin Yan even seemed to be joking.

However, she also knew that one day Eren would leave her. No matter how much Eren treated her like family, they couldn't stay together forever; all good things must come to an end. Mikasa Ackerman would one day meet the right person.

Then they got together.

On the way back, the two remained silent, but Mikasa Ackerman suddenly felt a deep sense of peace. She felt the warm glow of the setting sun on her skin. In truth, for a long time, Mikasa had harbored a profound and deep-seated loneliness.

Although Karla took good care of her.

Yet that feeling seemed both very close and very far.

After all, Mikasa Ackerman joined the family halfway through, and her sense of belonging was only vague. But with Lin Yan, she felt something different, a feeling that made her heart beat again.

That kind of vitality.

In front of the familiar building, Carla smiled and greeted them, waving her arms as she waited for the return of the people she cared about.

Mikasa was suddenly moved and quickened his pace, while Lin Yan beside her also quickened his pace to catch up.

Karla is one of a kind in this world.

"Is Aunt Carla among the people you want to protect?"

Mikasa Ackerman suddenly stopped, looking at Lin Yan with a puzzled expression. Lin Yan also looked at Mikasa Ackerman. Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the two of them looked exceptionally beautiful.

But it wasn't desolate.

Mikasa Ackerman's eyes were asking a question.

"What did you say?"

"you think……"

"think."

Without hesitation, Mikasa Ackerman already knew the answer in her heart.

"Okay, I promise you."

Mikasa Ackerman didn't actually understand the meaning behind Lin Yan's words, but she had a feeling that she would understand in time.

There's no need to ask any further questions.
