Yay! New chapter of Market Town! Enjoy, please let me know what you think, otherwise enjoy the story! :D
Mikasa Ackerman
She has been revered by her coworkers as one of the strongest employees this store has ever had. Her strength is on the same level as that of the sales manager, Levi, and head of security, Mike Zacharius. She brings fear and panic towards anyone she dislikes; and has zero sympathy and concern towards any customer. It is for this reason that she works primarily in the warehouse, which is located behind the store. Today, she returns to work from her break and as she locks her car, she notices that the store across the street has opened.
"Looks like they finally opened," she said.
"Hey Mikasa!" Armin walks up to her, "glad to see your back, how was your break?"
Even though it was true that Mikasa had little interest in most people, there were a few she tolerated and Armin was one of them, mostly because they had known each other since high school.
"It was fine, though I didn't really need it."
"Well, you didn't need it, but Erwin wanted you to. After all, you've haven't taken a day off since you worked here. Oh, by the way, you got the message right?"
"What message?"
"Erwin is in a coma, so Hanji is in charge of the store for the time being."
Mikasa wasn't too thrilled about Hanji leading the employees, mainly because of what happened during their first meeting. Aside from that, Mikasa was content that she would finally get back to her post, where her co-workers were waiting.
"Hm? Oh, Mikasa, glad to see you're back. I've been holding the fort down since you've been gone," Reiner said. He worked in the same position as Mikasa along with a few other employees. The warehouse storage is a physically demanding job, so it's obvious to see that everyone who worked here were big and let off a scent of man, except for Mikasa. At first, the other managers were worried that when the last warehouse manager had quit, the workers would not be able to organize themselves, but that wasn't the case. Mikasa and Reiner were treated as unofficial managers, and no one else in the department had any problems with that.
"Yes, well it seems like nothing too bad has happened since I was gone."
"Wait, doesn't she know that Erwin is in a coma? Wouldn't that be considered bad?" Reiner said in his mind.
Seeing that everything was fine, Mikasa allowed them to continue, "I'll go check on the shelf's to see if everything is in stock." She walked away leaving a speechless Reiner behind.
"Let's see, juice is good…milk's not expired."
"Mikasa? You're back," said Eren as he approached her unsuspectingly.
"E-Eren! Is it your shift today?"
"Um, yeah that's why I'm here."
"I-I see…it's nice to see you again."
Mikasa looked a little uncomfortable to Eren as he commented, "Mikasa, are you—"
"Ah! I need to go back to the warehouse, I'll be right back!" said Mikasa as she ran away not bothering to finish her inventory check.
"Crap, I thought he wasn't working today!" she mentally stated.
If it wasn't very apparent already, Mikasa has had a huge crush on Eren ever since her first day working here. And whenever she knew that he was working on a specific day, she would spruce herself up a bit. Today, though, she wasn't wearing any makeup, not that she needed to.
She was about to enter the girl's bathroom, but was stopped by Connie. "Whoa, hold on Mikasa, it's out of order."
Mikasa didn't wait for the explanation, as she already made her move to the other restroom near the warehouse.
Sasha approached the same bathroom, but was also stopped by Connie, "Hey didn't you listen? I'm fixing it up."
"Fixing it? Are you sure you're not just trying to do some perverted things in there?"
"What! I would never do something like that."
Levi suddenly approached the two of them, "Hey Springer, are you doing some perverted things in there?" Connie started to sweat as Levi grabbed his shoulder.
Meanwhile, Mikasa had returned to the warehouse. "Ah, Mikasa, we need some extra hands to move the boxes…hey, where are you going?" Reiner's voice reached deaf ears as she headed straight for the bathroom.
"Okay, hair…sucks, ah!"Mikasa fumbled with her hair until she was satisfied. "What else? Oh! I think I have some glossy chapstick…Yes!" After reaching into her pocket, she applied the chapstick gingerly. "This is good enough for now," she said as she raced out of the restroom, once again leaving Reiner behind. As she ran around the corner, she stumbled upon some boxes that Thomas was using.
"Mikasa! Are you all right?"
Mikasa didn't bother to respond as she got up and continued, but was quickly disrupted by a group of customer and their carts. "Um, excuse me…I need to get through please," she said softly hoping that her actions were enough to indicate that she wanted to get through.
However, none of the customers were paying attention, as Mikasa's boiling point was reached. "I said…move it." A sudden dark aura started resonating from her body, as the customers were now very aware of her presence.
Mikasa finally reached her destination, where Eren stood there patiently. "Oh, for a second I thought you weren't going to come back," he said.
Mikasa collected herself as she responded, "I was definitely coming back…so, um, Eren…how was—"
"Hey Eren, get back to your post…apparently some of the customers are complaining about the rudeness that one of our employees did," Levi said as he walked away.
"Y-Yes sir! Sorry Mikasa, I'll see ya later."
Mikasa stood there feeling a little dead inside.
Oh Mikasa lol. Check my profile for updates! see ya later!
