Levi sipped the tea once more. Now they both have been in the backyard owned (Y/n). (Y/n) deliberately invites Levi to spend time to relax in his backyard after the incident.

"You feeling better?" enquiry (Y/n).

Levi nodded. Both of his eyes looked at the night sky decorated with several stars. "Thank you for the tea."

"No problem, Levi. I can make it for you again anytime."

With a feeling of relief, Levi smiled when he saw (Y/n) face again after all this time. The time lag in Levi's world was very different compared to the time here.

"How was your day?" ask Levi.

"As long as you're gone? Of course I'm not okay," replied (Y/n) while exhaling.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you then."

(Y/n) shakes. "No. You made the right decision, Levi. After all, before you come back again, this body is what's with me."

"This body?" Levi asked in confusion.

"Really! After you left, Nii-chan made you who are still underground come to my world. He was the one who accompanied me when you weren't around. But, he's so different from you. He has no memories or memories of being with me. Even so, you are still you. You're still the Levi Ackerman I've always been waiting for."

Levi just listened to the explanation (Y/n). Although confused, Levi continued to listen while occasionally smiling thinly.

"I don't understand, but you're always waiting for me? Even though the other me doesn't have all those memories?"

"Of course!" (Y/n) nodded happily. "I'm always waiting for you. In fact, when you called me that, I felt confused and happy. You're back."

"Thank you ...."

After Levi said that, there was no more conversation between the two of them for a few minutes. The cold night air in the backyard forced (Y/n) to blow her palms warm.

Then the girl put both her hands into the pocket of the hoodie she was wearing.

"It looks like only your memories come back, doesn't it?" say (Y/n) to open their chat. "Then, what happened to your body there?"

"I don't know .... As I recall, I was carrying out my duties there." Levi lowered his head while arranging his expression. "Why don't you just ask your sister?"

(Y/n) paused for a moment, then he patted her on the forehead. "Oh, you're right!" yells. "But, before that I want to say that—"

Since (Y/n) did not continue his words, Levi immediately asked, "If what, boy?"

Then, (Y/n) smiled before he kissed Levi's right cheek which resulted in the man's face flushing slightly in surprise. After that (Y/n) again smiled broadly to tease Levi.

"If I miss you so much!" (Y/n) exclaiming. "Your face is red!"

Anxious, Levi instantly pulled the body (Y/n) into his arms and stroked the girl's head.

"Tch. I miss you too."

The next day after school, Levi and I visited Nii-chan's house to ask her. We brought some snacks for Petra and Nii-chan as souvenirs.

Once there, we were greeted by Petra's warm smile. Petra then invites us to go inside and wait for Nii-chan. Petra said that Nii-chan was working and we had to wait until it was over.

"H-heichou, how are you?" ask Petra.

Last night, Petra and Nii-chan told me about Levi's current situation. Therefore, Nii-chan asked me to come today and will explain everything to me. No wonder Petra was asking about Levi's news.

"I'm fine." Levi replied.

"Yang ... other? How are things going?" Petra asked again. His voice vibrates.

Levi did not answer for more than five minutes. I also followed him, I also kept quiet and did not say anything. Indeed, a lot happened. A lot ... Never mind, don't think about it. Levi has chosen his own path.

After a long period of silence, Nii-chan finally emerged from the end of the stairs. His hand waved at me and smiled widely. How long have I not checked her condition?

"(Y/n)! Missed you! How are you?" he asked when he had hugged me tightly until I felt tight.

I chuckle. "Well, I'm fine."

"Goodoo. I'm glad to hear it."

After that Nii-chan and we talked for a while about my life. While Petra was doing her kitchen, she came back and brought us some drinks.

Nii-chan looks very tired when seen from her eye bags. He must have worked very hard in his office. I don't know what he's doing, I don't know. It must be very complicated and—aneh.

Levi looked relieved and comfortable while talking to Nii-chan even though her face still looked flat. I'm glad to see it. May Levi be happy.

"So, you must be confused why Levi got the memory of Levi who had long returned to his world, right?" Nii-chan opened the topic I wanted to know without being asked. He explained, "I worked hard after the old Levi came back. Do you remember when I gave Levi a watch or some kind of bracelet? I made it to hold Levi's memory there and I saved it to my computer. After all I thought was enough, I erased his memory there and put it into Levi who was sitting next to you right now. And I think those memories just popped up in his brain right now."

I gawked for a while before getting a glimmer of ideas to ask, "When did Nii-chan enter her memories into Levi?"

"Before he set foot in our world," said Nii-chan, his index finger pointed at Levi. "I've put it in together. After that, he just showed up through your computer–same as before."

"That problem is all right!" Nii-chan gave her thumbs up as if she had just done the job perfectly. "I erased his memory, you know? I didn't just erase it, the memory had already moved into your brain before I deleted it. That meant Levi who was there would not remember a single memory of all this. He will continue to live and carry on with his duties until the end. It won't interfere with the story. Great ending, isn't it?"

I was very very very very stunned. Nothing can beat my expression at the moment. I myself could not figure out the expression I was making now.

Until, I realized—if Nii-chan loves me so much. When I desperately hated her when she returned Levi, Nii-chan was working on a good ending for me. I hate Nii-chan for thinking that she hates me too. The reality is that Nii-chan loves me more than I love her.

I want to cry when I see his tired face. His face features fine wrinkles around his eyes that look cute and tired. His hands were trembling as he reached for the tea cup on the table, indicating that he was very tired. Nii-chan is willing to work this hard just for me– for my life. Nii-chan is also working hard to support this one and only ungrateful sister.

I hate myself now. I'm embarrassed to look at Nii-chan. I was so childish.

"(Y/n) ..." call Nii-chan soft. "I love you very much. I don't really hate you, (Y/n). I'm sorry."

Then the tears I desperately held back from falling finally flooded my two eyes, as Nii-chan came up to me and stroked my head.

"Nii-chan, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I don't understand your feelings. You fight alone while I can only hate you from afar."

"No .. no .. You're not wrong. You did the right thing." Nii-chan hugged me. "Have ... Don't cry, huh? Levi's back when you just want to cry? Come on, hug him."

I just slapped his chest until he laughed. I looked at Levi who was sitting next to me. Levi smiled faintly at my interaction with Nii-chan, as if she was happy as well.

I think this is a good ending for everyone. For me, and also Nii-chan.  We were able to resolve the misunderstanding between us, I am very grateful.

I'm so happy now. After some hard times I had passed, I finally picked a happy ending. I wanted this a long time ago. The reason I always hated Nii-chan was so that I could still feel her bond. I hate him, but I cannot deny that I still love him and want him to pick me up.

We told a lot afterwards. Tying up our relationship that was somewhat strained in the previous time.

"By the way, is Yuu okay?" ask Nii-chan.

I'm nodding. "Today she went with Aichi to the amusement park after school. They're dating, Nii-chan." I giggle.

Nii-chan smiles. "He has changed. He has released you, yes .... That's good, I feel sorry for him."

"Ah .. that's right." I can only agree to it because I know the direction of this conversation.

I do know that Yuu kept the flavor on me for a long time. But I don't want to accept it. I do not want to accept the feeling of a friend who is always beside me. I do love him, and it is my love that makes me want to keep our relationship like this and not stretch.

I want Yuu to get her happiness. I don't want to ruin the relationship we've built for so long. Relationships I appreciate. A relationship that always calms my heart. I didn't want to ruin it just because of his selfish feelings. I can't love her more than this friendship. Friendship is more attached to us. I don't want to break it just like that.

Moreover, I already have a person whom I have already chosen for a bond that I cannot do with Yuu. I love Levi.

Don't think that I'm insensitive and just don't care about Yuu. I even had a taste for him! However, I swallowed it because I didn't want such a relationship. I'm just keeping Yuu's feelings in check. I just keep our friendship bond.

I'm happy now. Yuu has found Aichi. Although Yuu doesn't like her at first, Yuu realizes how sincere Aichi is to her. Yuu accepted it sincerely as well. Trying to look after Aichi without ruining our friendship. My misunderstanding with Aichi has also slowly been resolved.

After being satisfied I enjoyed my life with Nii-chan, Levi and I decided to leave. Nii-chan was so sad that I was going to go home and leave her. In fact, Nii-chan forced me to stay at my house. However, Petra pulled Nii-chan who held me tightly so that I wouldn't go anywhere.

"It's Ichiro, we'll visit him next time," said Petra, her left hand snapping at Nii-chan's troublesome head. Then he looked towards me. "Yes, right, (Y/n)?"

I just nodded. Eventually Levi and I were able to get out of Nii-chan's house.

"You going to the park?" I asked Levi who was taking my hand.

"Yes." Yeah." Levi replied, "Let's go there."

I smile. Levi clasped my hand tightly along the way. I sometimes look at his face from the side. Her eyes were staring intently forward, her undercut hair that always made me want to touch her, and her flat-face look that I always missed. I like everything he has.

I feel lucky to be with him to this day. Although it was difficult and very unlikely at first, but finally we were able to live together and even Levi liked me very much. I'm so grateful.

"You want to get some ice cream first?" bawaku when passing through minimarket.

Levi nodded.

I bought two chocolate-flavored ice creams and gave them to the other Levi. We had ice cream on our way to the park.

The slightly blistering weather made me complain how troublesome it would be if I was sweating on Levi. "It's hot! I shouldn't have worn an outdoor shirt. This shirt doesn't fit my uniform anyway."

"No. You are ... beautiful with it" whispered Levi.

I who heard it immediately jumped happy and immediately grabbed his arm.

"really? I'm pretty?"

"Yes, very pretty."

"Hehehe, you're also handsome Levi! I don't know what your fans would do if you found out you were a real Levi." I complained, "Perhaps, the people watching your story will assume that you are very similar to the characters in it without realizing that you are the real person. Ahaha!"

"Perhaps, they're not all going to think that far. Just relax."

I nodded excitedly, then I immediately pouted from remembering something. "Yes! But, still people who consider you handsome and want to approach you a lot! Sakura is one of the people I know who keeps chasing you even if she knows you don't like her!"

Then, as I rambled at length at him, Levi stopped his steps.

He brought his face closer and kissed my cheek.

Levi whispered, "I just love you, (Y/n)."
