( Mitsuki's POV )
Mitsuki: Hey, do you want a hand?
My casual question in the middle of a life-or-death situation is something Yuuki would do, and seeing the girl's perplexed expression, I could understand a little why he did it; this was something amusing.
The girl was speechless, but the titan, unaware that I was standing on his shoulder, continued to pull the young soldier closer to his mouth, and despair returned to her face.
Mitsuki: I'll say it again, do you want help?
???: Yes, please! Save me!!
Mitsuki: But that won't be free; you'll have to do something for me.
???: Yes, anything! I'll do anything!
The girl was between the titan's teeth, drool dripping on her, so her response wasn't unexpected, I swung my sword and struck the titan's weak point, the girl broke free from the titan's grip and while she was falling I placed the extraction device on her, seconds later we were transported to our new base.
The place was completely foreign to the girl, but I didn't let her take everything in.
Mitsuki: Hey girl, I'm going to need your clothes, take them off.
???: ...uh-h well, I said I'd do anything.
The girl blushed and with trembling hands began to remove the multiple belts and harnesses she was wearing. I quickly realized she had misunderstood me, so I had to correct the misunderstanding.
Mitsuki: Hey, that's not what I meant! I have a husband, you know.
???: Oh... What a relief.
Mitsuki: There are some rooms outside where you can change. By the way, what's your name?
???: I'm Mina Carolina... Nice to meet you.
Mitsuki: I'm Mitsuki, follow me.
I was going to guide the girl out of the room but when she saw her comrade in a healing pod she ran towards him.
Mina: Thomas! What are you doing to him?
Mitsuki: We're fixing him. I think he should fully regenerate in about an hour.
Mina: Can you... fix him? Who are you?
Mitsuki: There will be time for questions and answers later.
' Although you will be the one answering questions. '
Mitsuki: [ Is anyone free? I need an interrogation done at the new base. ]
Kyoko: [I have time, I'm on my way. ]
I sent a mental message to the girls asking for help, and when the information gathering issue was resolved, I returned to the battlefield.
/////////////////////////
After putting on Mina's clothes, which were a bit tight on me, I returned to the city and pretended to be a soldier here, I immediately started testing the device they were using, which was called Omni-directional mobility gear or Odm gear for short.
Using this thing felt very natural and soon I was flying around the city with ease, that was an interesting experience, but on more serious matters I was concerned about the lack of progress around here.
After the striking appearance of the titan-shifter, it was strange that things remained so quiet; of course, titans continue to enter the city, but they could not be called the core of the master plan; this must be something to soften the enemy before making another move.
I started hunting titans hoping something would happen, and then I focused my attention on a fortress-like building that was being stalked by titans, I made my way to the place and upon arriving there I began the extermination of titans, the elimination was easy work and when I stood on the roof of the building I saw something interesting.
A group of young soldiers were approaching the building I had secured, and the interesting part was that they were being escorted by a titan who was eliminating other titans, that behavior and the way that titan fought pointed to a possibility; that was a titan-shifter.
I had to ask Kanzashi to confirm that, but I was sure of it. But if he was a titan-shifter, why was he helping the young soldiers? are there titan-shifters on both sides of the conflict?
The young people landed on the roof where I was and were filled with relief; for them, surviving this attack was no easy feat, I had defeated the titans around the building so quickly that their bodies were still disintegrating, which was quite surprising to them.
???: ...Did you do this alone?
A blond-haired boy who didn't seem very strong approached to question me, but I ignored him and walked past him, and I observed the strange titan; he only seemed interested in defeating titans, and since there were none around, he began to roar, I asked one of the girls to keep an eye on the titan, and I was going to question the boy who had spoken to me earlier, but when I heard a commotion inside the building, I decided to move there.
???: Hey, why the hell aren't you out there doing your duty?! Do you know how many we lost because of the lack of gas?!
???: A-ah, there was nothing we could do; we were cornered.
???: That's the truth. Some Titans got into the supply room, and we couldn't do anything against them.
When I heard that some titans were blocking supply deliveries, I thought this might be related to the enemy's plan, I went down to the supply room to disrupt the enemy's plan if this was their job; I encountered a handful of titans, They were small, but the cramped room where I was made using the Odd Gear somewhat complicated, so I used my own powers to take down the titans.
After that, I took a kind of wooden elevator to report that the path was clear, and when the elevator stopped, I saw the young soldiers approaching me, they had muskets and seemed ready to face the titans, but that was no longer necessary.
They looked at me in surprise again, and the blond-haired boy approached me again.
???: You wiped out all the Titans?
Mitsuki: um.
