"I'm sorry, but Historia's on leave today. However, she's informed me that she'll be coming in tomorrow."
Armin had a long face as he went "What a letdown."
"Yeah I know. I really wanted to ask about her theory…"
"You pick the perfectly wrong time to turn into and archaeologist Eren. H-How do you do that? You meet a cute girl and all you think of your theory. You seriously lack sex appeal dude."
"I'm not the guy with a mop head and a girly face."
"Says the guy who doesn't have the slightest idea about a woman's feelings."
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
"That's what I mean! Totally no idea."
"What the hell-"
"Shut the fuck up. Both of you."
They looked behind them to see Mikasa holding her head with her teeth gritted. She was walking slowly
"Mikasa, are you ok?" Eren looked at her
Mikasa shot a glare towards and screamed
"Okay?! No I'm not okay! Firstly my period is killing me for three days thanks to which I've not able to sleep till 3 in the night…and then you wake up at 6 in the morning only to hear you idiots arguing like toddlers in a ridiculously slow car which I then HAD to drive myself after hitting my head! Now you drag me into a cavern 100 feet under the ground and my ears are blocked now! I don't mind if you don't help but the least thing you could do is to stop your shitty talk so that I don't have to babysit you!"
Eren then seemed realized how much pain she was going through and apologized
"I-I'm sorry Mikasa…I didn't know you were in so much pain. You girls have it real hard don't you?"
"Tell me about it."
"Here let me help."
She held her by her shoulder and pulled her close so that she'd lean her head against his shoulder. Although she was mad, her being this close to Eren calmed her down a bit.
"Look Eren this is what I'm talking about. You can't understand a woman's feelings. That way you won't get a cute girl for yourself."
"Well you had no idea as well."
"Yeah but you're much worse Eren."
"Here we go again…" Mikasa sighed
"Okay Armin now shush."
"Look the end point is sooner or later you need a cute girl for yourself and being like this isn't going to help you know…"
"Please stop with the cute girls Armin. I know I'll find someone someday, wherever she is. Besides, there are a lot of cute girls in every corner of the world. Hell, even Mikasa's quite cute!"
All three stiffed at this. Armin never expected to call a girl 'cute', especially Mikasa of all people, whose feelings he was totally oblivious to. Eren was surprised he blurted out something like that up front, in front of Mikasa that too.
"Shit! What the hell did I even say right now! Can't I even watch what I say! Mikasa would probably think I'm a creep now!"
Mikasa went completely red at this and being this close to Eren wasn't helping either.
"D-Did he just call me cute?! H-He called me cute!"
She then got up from Eren's shoulder and went on her own
"I-It's fine Eren, I'll…uh…I can go by myself now." She said with a weak smile.
"B-But Mikasa…"
"Don't worry about it! I'm fine!"
"She definitely thinks I'm a creep!"
She then went forward. She then pulled the scarf up to her nose to hide the fierce blush on her face
"Why the hell am I getting so horny at a time like this?!"
She then slightly stumbled at a little uneven footing in the route.
Strictly speaking, the site was located right below the Wall Rose Chapel, which had been converted into a library. However an old mining site was used as an entry point for the site instead of the Chapel as it was a 100 foot drop from the library which is more dangerous. As the group went closer to the site, they could see a light in the place that kept getting brighter.
"Looks like we're getting close…" said Armin
A few step closer and they suddenly found themselves in a large room of crystalline walls.
Armin smirked "Just as I thought. This place is a mine for Yeldian ore. No other substance can get light this deep."
"Why did they abandon it though? It has plenty of ore to mine." Jean said
"Possibly because it's under a religious monument like the chapel." Sasha said
They then heard a rough male voice next to them
"What the hell are you brats doing here, trespassing in this place?"
Mikasa slightly winced
"This voice…!"
She then turned to see a short man with sharp eyes, wearing a white t shirt and cargo pants. He seemed to immediately recognize her too.
"Levi…?"
"Mikasa…?"
