I build nuclear bombs in the giant world

Ian put down the envelope, took a sip of hot tea, and glanced at the woman sitting next to him.

Ymir looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but in fact, her real age is over eighty years old.

She was an Eldian who was born in Marais about eighty years ago. She was a street child.

"We will leave for Wall Maria the day after tomorrow. You have to go with the team. Remember to prepare." Ian put down the tea cup.

"Whatever, I can only obey your orders anyway, right?" Ymir lay lazily on the sofa, folding the cookies into four pieces and throwing them into his mouth like peanuts.

I'm going to kill the giant.

Thinking of this, her mood was a little complicated.

What a giant is, she understands more deeply than others.

Although it happened eighty years ago, the memory of that time is still vivid in my mind.

She was not a native of the wall. Before she got the name Ymir, she had been living in Marais on the other side of the sea, wandering the streets in the Eldian controlled area, making a living by stealing and giving alms.

In order to survive, she slept on cold, hard stones every night, was often beaten, and ate sour and smelly food.

She didn't have a name at that time, until one day, someone found her and said to her: "Come here and live with your uncles."

When she was young, she was taken away by strangers, who gave her a name:

——Ymir.

It is said that that is the name of the ancestor of the Eldians, Ymir Fritz, who was the wife of the first King of Eldia.

Suddenly some images came to mind. She was sitting on a creaking wooden chair in a closed and narrow underground space, with her feet unable to even touch the ground.

"This Lord Ymir has inherited the bloodline of the orthodox king. As long as this Lord Ymir exists, we can live forever."

Under the dim firelight, many adults knelt down and worshiped her. At that time, Ymir still didn't understand what role she played, and she didn't know why these adults would call her.

Even looking back now, that feeling is very good.

She no longer needs to be hungry and can sleep on a soft bed. No matter who sees her, they will salute her and call her respectfully: "Lord Ymir."

However, now Ymir has realized that those guys are just poor and humble people.

The accident happened a few years later, when the Marais' law enforcement officer broke into the "church" of the believers.

It was a deceptive place, Ymir figured it out early on.

She is just a wandering child picked up from the street, not a royal family, and she has no power to make those who kneel down to gain eternal life.

She knew that she was just a tool used to search for wealth, and she understood all of this very clearly in her heart.

"What does it matter? It's fine if it goes on like this. None of them said they were dissatisfied."

Every time the believers knelt down to worship, she used similar reasons to convince herself.

It was probably her retribution for fooling those poor people. When the law enforcement officer was looking for the leader of the organization, everyone passed the responsibility to her.

"It's all her fault! She said she was from the royal family and tricked us into coming here!"

She wanted to retort loudly, no, I'm just a wanderer, you asked me to do this!

However, these words were not spoken in the end.

Looking at the fearful eyes of the "cultists", she lied once again.

"That's right! I am the legitimate heir to the royal family!"

In the end, she was the only one who was exiled to "Paradise" and became a "giant".

That was sixty years of wandering, and to her at this time, it was as unreal as a dream.

Running on the earth during the day, sleeping on the ground at night, day after day, day after day, from the melting of ice and snow to the sprouting of green trees, to the withering of all things, and the blooming of spring flowers, it repeats over and over again, as if it will never end.

Giants, that's a sad creature, they can't control everything in their lives.

Ymir thought that the reason why giants can eat humans is probably because that is the only way for giants to obtain "life". Just like humans are instinctively afraid of everything related to "death", giants instinctively pursue "life" .

She regained her life after eating someone.

It was a boy who she ate while wandering around "Paradise".

That night, the dazzling Milky Way hung in the long dress of the night, dotting the sea of ​​brilliant stars and clouds. When she woke up, she lay on her back on the sand and saw boundless freedom.

If destiny really existed, then she could only laugh at the capriciousness of the goddess of destiny.

She obtained the "Power of Titans" and relied on that power to cross the long Wall Maria after the Super Titan and the Armored Titan destroyed the wall, disguised as a refugee, entered the Wall of Rose, and became a member of society again. Human beings exist.

What to do next, how to do it, she had not thought about such a thing.

She just wants to live freely and do whatever she wants. She just doesn't want to continue wandering in the "paradise", but to survive as a human being.

Almost twenty days ago, one evening, Ian came to her and stretched out his hand to her who was working in the field.

"For an Eldian who has lived in Marais, farming should be boring. Do you want to try to work with me?"

In that situation, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to refuse.

Ian did not find her alone. There were more than a dozen soldiers accompanying him, carrying thick-caliber muskets.

It was only later that she learned that the child standing next to Ian had the same giant strength as her.

What were your thoughts when you held Ian's hand?

Are you afraid of death?

Or do you want to find a little fun in this boring world?

Who knows, Ymir picked up another cookie and put it in his mouth to chew.

All she can feel is that now, this recently baked berry cookie is crispy and delicious.

She might have been born for this cookie.

"By the way, Ymir." Ian suddenly called her: "Have you tried the new Ian fried chicken launched by the Chamber of Commerce?"

"What is that? I don't know." Ymir crossed his legs.

"Then I'll ask Aunt Mary to give you a No. 1 set meal later, just as a midnight snack. After you finish eating, let them know how it tastes."

"up to you."

"I'll leave first. We'll set off the day after tomorrow. But we still have more than 400 kilometers to go. You have a good rest."

"Walk slowly without seeing you off."

Ian left, and Ymir lay on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling, his head blank.

After a while, someone brought a midnight snack.

There was a wooden tray with food that Ymir had never seen before.

The strange shape, called French fries, is a crispy strip of potato that should be fried, and there is also half a golden fried chicken with a rich aroma and a glass of ordinary lemonade.

She sat up slowly and suddenly understood something.

Her life is not for cookies, but for the fried chicken meal in front of her!

The so-called freedom means eating as much as you want!

This is freedom!
