Reiner froze on his tracks. "We have to talk later, (Name)."

"Sure."

Reiner's eyes widened. He didn't expect her to comply easily with his demand. He watched (Name) leave the room with two heavy wooden boxes in hand—as if it was nothing!

"Oi, Reiner! What a gentleman you are! Letting (Name) carry all the boxes!" Bertholdt laughed while pointing at (Name) with his thumb.

"No."

"Let's talk to her later."

Tha carry was lowered and soldiers released fire. 7 soldiers who were skilled with the gear were stationed to kill the blinded four meter titans.

However, Sasha and Connie, who were unable to reach the Titans' weak spot, were saved by Mikasa and Annie by killing those titans completely.

When the mission was a success, everybody proceeded to fill their gas tanks and replace their dull swords with new ones.

(Name) took her brown, ripped dirty jacket off, "Ey, Connie." She called. Connie looked up and saw the sharp piercing glare (Name) gave him.
