Three days later;
Refugee Camp 7, Arland City;
In one of the refugee camps, where refugees from outside lived until their accommodations were settled by the city council, Shi Yejin and her ex were seen helping out at the infirmary.
Because of Eren's experience of helping out at his father's clinic, his help was greatly appreciated. His good looks only became a bonus.
Of course, he is merely a high school student. Hence, there was no such thing as attraction from the lady staff or patients. He merely looked pleasing to their eyes. That's all.
On the other hand, Shi Yejin was seen struggling to work out as a helper. She grew up as a spoiled rich daughter of a Mayor and granddaughter of a six-time former Mayor of Shengzen City. Hence, it is expected. But, it isn't just that.
Fortunately for her, no one dares to try taking advantage of the situation and molesting her or sexually harass her in any way. Her identity and the support from Arland's City Mayor could be credited for that.
The fact that she is volunteering for this job instead of spending her life at the Mayor's house itself is surprising for most of them.
How would they know that this girl is working hard, just for the sake of that boy?
It was obvious to the staff working there at the infirmary, but the person in question had a different thought entirely.
It was the time of noon and Eren was given a lunch break. Shi Yejin, on the other hand, was told to work by the stern head nurse who was jealous of her background.
Making a sad face, she continued to work as the helper for one of the nurses as Eren left from there.
Soon after, Azzy entered the tent with an injured young man on his back and an unharmed child on his side.
"Excuse me..." As his voice was heard, Shi Yejin's face lit up.
She looked like a little girl who was excited that her dad came home after work.
"Azrael, you are here..." She greeted him with all smiles on her face, almost blocking his path.
Just as the others around wondered whether this girl was in love or something, she added a question before Azzy got to reply to her greeting. "Did you bring it?"
Azzy calmly nodded and took out a smartphone from his pocket, "It was damaged by the way."
"Hurry up. We don't have time for distractions," Azzy urged her to place the order.
"Sorry," The girl bowed a bit in embarrassment, "Give me five minutes."
As Azzy looked away, the girl thought a bit and asked, "By the way, you didn't have lunch right? Let me give you a treat as thanks."
"It's alright. I'll eat later," Azzy refused it, but the girl insisted on giving him the treat, telling him that she hadn't eaten since morning and was too hungry. Since he had to wait until then, she requested him to join her.
Now or later, since he had to eat anyway, Azzy couldn't help but nod, "Fine."
"Great." Shi Yejin let out a bright smile and turned around to the counter, "Hi. Give us three premium sets. Pack one for the takeout. Thanks."
With trays filled with bowls of food, Azzy and Shi Yejin walked to the table near Eren's and sat down.
"What are you doing here?" Eren, surprisingly, took the initiative to talk to her as soon as sat down. With a frown on his face, it made him as if he was displeased.
"Eh?" Shi Yejin was taken aback at first but then nodded, "Yes, I'm visiting my brother. Since I was afraid to go alone, I asked Azrael's help."
"Stop being selfish," He instantly scolded her while displaying his displeasure, "Mr. Garcia is an important person. His every minute is valuable for the city. Don't waste his time."
After scolding her, he looked at Azzy and apologized, "Sorry about her. I can take her to the barracks. No need to waste your time on such a menial task."
"You will come with me?" Shi Yejin's eyes widened in surprise.
Azzy glanced at her face which was glowing and then at Eren's. Before she reacts, he responds with a nod of agreement, "That's good. Just don't hesitate to call me if anything happens out of your control."
Azzy finished up his lunch as fast as possible and left the place before reporting to the General in order to receive his so-called surprise reward.
Imagine his shock when General O'Dwyer gave the photograph as his next mission. It contains a picture of a man and a young boy. One look at the picture and eight out of ten people would say that the man is an archeologist.
But that's not why he was shocked.
"Louis? And this is... Eren, isn't he? Is this a fate of what?"
As Azzy was shocked by the photo, the General spoke, "Mr. Garcia, based on the rough sketch you have given us, I believe this is the man you were looking for." After a brief pause, he added, "It looks like I'm right. But, I'm not sure whether he is alive though."
"He is alive. I'm sure of it." Azzy clenched his fist. He saluted to the general and left for the barracks.
