Chapter 43

After Odom, Peter, Katrina, Aya, Eren, and Armin are at Dina's office, Eren asks, "Mother, what's the matter? Why do you bring us here again?"

"After inspecting Zeke's letter, I have been thinking about the words that he told me: the Founding Titan could change the composition of their bodies." Dina says, "We have already eliminated the pure Titans in Paradis Island, I was thinking maybe we can do something with the walls."

"But didn't you say that we're not going to do the Rumbling?" Aya asks, "What do you have in mind?"

"I was thinking about using the Founding Titan to change the Colossal Titans in the wall into other Titans." Dina says. "The Colossal Titan is destructive, which is why the Rumbling is dangerous."

Armin says, "I see... if we change into different Titans, then the destruction won't be as large as the Colossal Titans...and the diversity will also help us if the outside forces decided to attack..."

"Do you think it will work?" Peter asks. "I mean, do you think Founder Ymir will want to help you out?"

"We don't know unless we try." Eren says. "But if that's the case, how are you going to make use of the wall?"

Dina places the map here and says, "When Founder Ymir's dead, King Fritz has his daughter: Maria, Rose, and Sina eat the body of Ymir so that they can get the power of the 12 Titans. However, we can't change them into a Founding Titan, considering that it is the strongest and the most powerful and we don't want them to go on a rampage."

"You're right about that." Katrina says, "So it will be just the 11 Titan forms. It does seem possible."

Then they decide to deliver the news in the meeting, and there are some disagreements.

"What if you accidentally activate the Rumbling? Then those living in the districts will have their lives in danger!" "And why do we need other titans since the Colossal Titan is already enough?"

Zachary says, "Commander Pyxis, what do you think?"

"The Colossal Titan is said to be the highest, which is why it can block any Titans from entering except for it." Pyxis says, "However, with other nations attacking, if we change the Colossal Titans, the walls might be lowered. It will give the cannons more chances to hit over the wall."

Ewrin raises his hand and says, "According to the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers, Marley's aerial warfare will also be a problem. However, if we have changed the wall Titans into different forms, we might have a chance to fight them. The Weather and the Sky Titan are good at attacking through the air, and the Ocean Titan is good at attacking in Water. And we will also have the Armored Titans that will block our attacks on the land. It will also benefit Zeke Yeager's plan of the partial rumbling and also give us a Titan army."

The words Erwin gives them cause a lot of people to talk to each other. Historia says, "If that's the case, how much time do you need to get this done?"

Dina says, "We will begin with Wall Maria, as we are not quite sure about the density of the Titans inside the walls, the walls will have to move outward for fear that some Titans are getting bulky. Not only that, but we will also need to relocate the population close to the outer walls. I must say that maybe 1 to 2 years will be possible."

Zachary thinks, "I see... If that's the case, we'll have the Garrison assist with your plan. Pyxis, do you agree?"

Pyxis says, "I think I'll give it a try."

Then after that, they start to work on the walls and they also spread the news to the Eldians inside the wall so they will help relocate. The Garrison, the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers, and even the Hizuru are helping them out, and the process seems to be faster then they expected.

Wall Maria now consists of Armored Titans, Weather Titans, War Hammer Titans, Ocean Titans, and Sky Titans. Wall Rose now consists of the Jaw Titans, Beast Titans, Attack Titans, Female Titans, and Cart Titans. And Wall Sina still consisted of Colossal Titans since the population is close to Wall Sina due to the attack of Wall Maria and Wall Rose.

Right now everyone is having lunch together, they are having some Shrimp to eat. Jean says, "Ever since we got to the ocean, we have been having this Seafood in our meals as well."

"You can thank Peter for catching the seafood for us." Aya says. "And Nicolo is also a great seafood chef."

(Flashback)

As the port is completed, they are by the seaside and they see a lot of seafood on it.

"What the hell is this food? Is it even edible?" Connie asks.

"Smells fishy." Mikasa says.

"You've never had seafood? Nicolo's a master of Marleyan cooking." Yelena replies.

"Jerks. If you don't like it, don't eat. Eldians like you don't -" Nicolo mutters while cooking the food. Sasha eats the lobster and says, "So good!"

"Hey!" "No fair, Sasha!" Jean and Connie complain.

"Yeah! Leave some for us!" Aya says.

"Nicolo! You're a food genius!" Sasha says.

Nicolo stares at her shocked, then he blushes at her words. "S-Stop eating like a pig!"

Sasha continues to eat and cries while doing so, Connie begins to eat from a lobster, too. "I've never had anything like this!"

"There's plenty take your time." Nicolo says as he goes back to cooking.

Peter takes a bite and frowns, Katrina asks, "What's wrong, Peter?"

"My mother used to catch seafood as her job..." Peter says, "After losing her job, she joined the Eldian Restorationists... I was thinking what if I can help fish for seafood so that Paradis can have them?"

"That sounds like a good idea." Armin says.

(Flashback Ends)

"Yeah, for some reason it seems natural for me, especially since I'm the Ocean Titan, catching seafood seems to be easier." Peter says.

Besides Armin, Annie is also with them. Annie asks, "I still don't get why you would want me to eat with you guys..."

"Just because we have been enemies in the past doesn't mean we are now." Eren says. "And since you were abandoned by Marley, we just thought that we would definitely want someone like you to help us."

Annie sighs, "Are you sure that my father is safe in Marley? I'm only doing this because I want to get back to him."

"Our change of future only affects Paradis, and I'm sure that my brother Zeke would already report to them that you sacrificed for them." Katrina says.

"Tch..." On another table, Levi just glares at Annie before Hange asks, "Levi, don't worry, Annie has been helping us with the railway and the walls for a lot of months, you should try to trust her."

"As if I could just forget my original squad being killed by her." Levi says.

"She is already not the female Titan." Dina says. "And she has been very cooperative."

"Considering how she was abandoned by Marley, it is no wonder she wants revenge, and by helping us, she will get her revenge." Erwin says.

"And it seems that she and Armin are also close to each other." Hange says. "After all, he's the only one she would talk to back in the prison cell."

"It is not just Annie, I still don't get why we are going to trust that monkey." Levi says. "I know he is your son, but he turned the whole Rakugo Village into Titans and also killed a lot of recruits."

"He has to do it to gain Marley's trust." Dina frowns, "And it was my fault, if only Grisha and I act like parents..."

"Don't be sorry, I'm feeling the same way." Levi says to her, much to her surprise. "I have never met Aya after I seemingly abandoned her mother 17 years ago. Every day I have been wondering if she still hated me for that."

"Wow, never knew our human's strongest soldier has a heart like this..." Hange says.

"Shut up, four-eyes." Levi mutters.

Erwin says, "So Dina, you said you have been trying to have the Founder Ymir raise the curse of Ymir, right? Has it been possible yet?"

Dina frowns, "This is something, not even the Founder Ymir herself can solve. She grants us a lot of things like changing the Titans in Wall Maria and Wall Rose, but breaking the curse is what she is unable to provide... My theory is that we need to find a way to get all 12 Titan powers to activate it. Which also asks the question. Who is going to be the next Armored, Jaw, and the Cart?"

"What about the War Hammer?" Hange asks.

"Aya hasn't contacted the War Hammer Titan, and I mean the real shifter, we tried having her touch the War Hammer Titan in the walls, but there is nothing happened." Dina says. "I think Eren will get that power in the end if we go through his memories..."

"I see." Levi says. "Though I would definitely want to break the curse. I would rather let my daughter die with Eren instead of bounding with another man."

"But that means we only have 5 years left to think." Moblit says.

"You're right about that." Dina sighs.

The night, Eren and Aya are sitting at the beach watching the ocean, Eren says, "Aya, there is something that I want to confess to you."

"What is it?" Aya asks.

Eren takes out a small box and says, "Ever since we were little, I've always liked you." Then his face heats up and kneels on the ground, opening the box, which causes Aya to gasp in surprise.

"Will you marry me?" Eren asks.

Aya can't believe what she's hearing, she helps Eren up and gives him a kiss. "Eren, you don't know how happy you made me right now, of course, you dummy. But how did you get to convince my father?"

Eren says, "Because of the Founding Titan and the Neumann blood, he knows that the two of us are bound to be with each other. And Thanks to Mother, I think you like this one."

Aya smiles as she wears the wing, and Ash also wears his own, and Aya asks, "Should we plan our wedding already?"

"We might as well." Eren chuckles. "But then again... a few months ago, I said I don't want our child to be a tool instead of a human being. But I never asked your opinion. I'm sorry about it."

Aya says, "In my opinion, I want to have a family with you, we both lost our parents at a young age until they were back a few years ago. That's why I want our child to have our love, I also want them to grow like a normal family instead of some sort of weapon."

"Looks like we're really thinking the same thing." Eren chuckles.

The news of the wedding has spread to the ears of everyone in the Scouts, everyone is happy for Eren and Aya to be together, and they also want to help them with the wedding plans. They are also making sure that they have a wedding they won't forget.

And here is a chapter, and the next chapter is going to be a smut chapter and I hope you like it. And you can leave your comments if you want to suggest who to be the new Cart, Jaw, and Armor. I already have some planning indeed, but I will like to hear some opinions.
