The Daughter of a Miyamoto
Erwin Smith looked onward from here on out as soon as Levi Ackerman speaks up: "And what of it?" Cecelia answered as she bowed: "Captain Levi...I am Cecelia Harumi Miyamoto. Ryu Miyamoto and his wife Sayuri are of my parents that served the Survey Corp's Scout Regiment up to the very end. They're still alive the last time I have seen them as they have send me to come here..." Levi steps on the side to let the young lady into the room. Hanji Zoe's eyes widened because of Cecelia's gifted beauty as even Eren finds himself looking at her in awe. After taking a good look, Erwin realized that it is indeed their daughter. This means that the Survey Corp's Scout Regiment will have high hopes for humanity. He got up to her and bowed to her as if greeting a princess: "According to the letter your parents have send me, they asked of you to be part of the Survey Corp. I don't know why, but it must be for a good reason" She nodded as she said this to him: "I'm aware of it...and I came here willingly to fulfill my parents' word. However...to be part of Captain Levi's squad, I must have his full consent out of the deepest respect..." At first, Levi was about to refuse her offer. However, he remembered of Erwin suggesting that she will assist on the Scout Regiment for Eren's sake as given tribute for everything that her parents have done for mankind. He then sighed and said to her, "You may join my Squad if you can prove yourself worthy even in combat tomorrow." Cecelia was caught off her guard as she tries to make sure that what Levi had just said were all true. But as he's walking away, she knew right then and there that he's not lying at all. She smiled and bowed as she said this, "Thank you Captain Levi. I promise that I won't let you and your cadets down until my very last breath." Levi stopped at that moment because those were the words that Ryu had said after he and his wife Sayuri got married. But even though he scoffed a bit, he secretly smiled his very rare smile that nobody noticed before walking out of the other room to lock himself in his office to think. In truth, Levi thought for some time. He really couldn't protect someone that was precious to Ryu and Sayuri. He thought that he can't protect anyone since he could not protect Isabel Magnolia and Farlan Church.
As the day turns into nighttime, Eren was joined by his friends in the Dining Hall: Armin Arlert, Mikasa Ackerman, and Jean Kirstein. Armin asked as soon as he sees his friend, "Are you okay? You're not too injured, are you?" Eren answered, "No. Other than my tooth being knocked out, I'm fine." Jean smirked as he drinks from his mug: "Heh! You're lucky that you were still breathing back then. Mikasa was ready to kill the captain and Armin had to hold her back." Mikasa just stared at her food at the moment before continuing to eat. Soft footsteps appeared from the doorway and into the Dining Hall as most of the cadets looked up. Cecelia was standing in place after she took herself a shower to freshen up. She wears a beautiful light-blue kimono with a "nagajuban" or the under-kimono of pure silver and its sash to tie such an elegant bow is also of silver. As for her shoes, they are of the royal Japanese sandals after the silver-colored Japanese socks. Eren's eyes widened as soon as he sees Cecelia. Jean almost dropped his mug in awe from seeing this young woman and Armin was trying his best to hold back Mikasa who suddenly got jealous. Cecelia begins to look around and that's when she sees Levi sitting at the table where Eren and his friends are at as part of his supervision. As soon as the captain sees her, he felt himself blushing for no reason. To cover up, he sips his cup of tea his usual way and managed to look calm and collected. Cecelia manages to speak as she bowed to him like a lady: "Good evening Captain Levi and Eren Yeager. I take it that these people must be your friends as well as your comrades." Levi just sipped his tea and looked at her as the words "good evening" were all he managed to spill out. Armin grinned and said: "hi! I'm Armin! This is Mikasa and Jean!" Jean asked as he tried to turn on his charm of flirting: "So? You got a name, gorgeous?" Levi rolled his eyes as he sipped on his tea again. Cecelia answered with another bow: "I'm Cecelia Harumi Miyamoto. It's a pleasure to meet you all."
Mikasa turned slightly to the side to look at her and asked: "What does your name mean anyway?" Cecelia answered "Well...my first name is after St. Cecilie the blind patron of music who is a talented musician. My middle name means 'spring beauty' and my last name means 'shrine palace' from what I have been told." Mikasa could see Eren looking at the young woman in awe as if her name as well as her voice seemed to have captivated him. She decides to get Cecelia into trouble by suggesting this: "You don't say? Well...why don't you prove that you're fitting of that name? There's a piano nearby in the Dining Hall." Somehow, she triggered Cecelia's passion for music as she went over and sat in front of the piano. Levi was just about to scold Mikasa but stopped as soon as Cecelia's fingers hit a few piano keys as she singed these words:
Cast away your worries, my dear
For tomorrow comes a new day
Hold to me, you've nothing to fear
For your dreams are not far away...
Levi's eyes widened a little in awe. That's because he's the only one who can play the piano quite well. But he as well as the other cadets one by one began to look over as Cecelia continued to sing while playing the piano:
As you lay your head and you rest
May your dreams take over my love
Listen close, my son of the West
For your destiny lies above
Though the wold is cruel, there's a light that still shines
In the darkest days of our lives
When all hope seems lost and you can't find your way
Think of me as you look to the skyChild of mine, your future is bright
For your Father's blood in your veins
In dark times, I pray you will fight
For the world will soon know your name...Levi watched onward as he puts down his cup of tea. It's something that her mother would ever sing to him before he goes to bed but never had it happened to him. To him, it suddenly calmed his troubled spirits as he smiled...which he rarely have ever smiled. This surprised even Eren as Cecelia singed these words to finish the song:
Though the wold is cruel, there's a light that still shines
In the darkest days of our lives
When all hope seems lost and you can't find your way
Think of me as you look to the sky
Child of mine, your future is bright
For your Father's blood in your veins
In dark times, I pray you will fight
For the world will soon know your name
For the world will soon know your name
For the world will soon know your name...!
Mikasa couldn't believe her eyes and ears as every cadet that watched this performance clapped and cheered as Cecelia bowed to them. Levi walks up to her and it looks as if he was about to scold her. But what he said next had made her cheeks reddened a bit: "Quite a performance. I guess you're more than just a pretty face. Perhaps, you're like the Jack of Trades in a way." Cecelia thanked Levi from here and that's when he said to her: "It's not so late yet. Sit by my table. I want to know more about you if I were to trust you." She nodded and began to follow behind him. Mikasa just had a angry glare as she's also possibly jealous. In her mind, the newcomer like Cecelia wouldn't have almost everyone enchanted as if being put under a spell. Levi watches as Cecelia holds one cup with her left hand under it to tip the contents easier into her mouth while her right hand is holding onto its side. He doesn't know why, but he finds it attractive a she seemed to be proper and elegant. What no one knows is that someone was lurking behind the shadows before retreating from the headquarters of the Survey Corp
