I got reincarnated in the world of Attack on Titan

- My Pov -

I calmly made my way towards a young girl with bright blonde hair while Milch was holding my hand, and since I didn't want to draw too much attention to myself, I walked to the side of the room where there weren't as many people in the center.

After that, I made my way forward until I was standing in front of the young blonde girl who was walking with Rod Reiss earlier.

The name of the young blonde girl I'm referring to is Historia, and after she saw me walking toward her, she appeared to be in a state of panic and didn't know what to do. However, I simply gave her a reassuring smile and then greeted her.

"Why do you keep staring at me since earlier?"

I inquired in a tone befitting a young child while fixing my gaze intently on Historia's.

I was able to approach her in such a bold manner because there were currently no security guards escorting her and also because her father at the moment was making a speech in the middle of the hall like an idiot.

In the meantime, everybody's attention was focused on her father, Rod Reiss. Therefore, it was much easier for me to approach Historia when she was left alone because of the situation.

"I... didn't stare at you."

When Historia did finally respond, she did so in a hushed tone and with an embarrassed expression on her face.

I'm sure with all the hardships that Historia has been through so far, she's also become more mature at her young age, so I'm not too bothered about pretending to be a child anymore, even though it's true that I'm only 5 years old.

"why did you lie."

Historia could only respond by shaking her head because I kept putting her in the corner. Then, possibly because her embarrassment had reached its highest point, she began lowering her head and avoiding eye contact with me.

"My name is Kaiser. And you? What's your name?"

I asked the question in a low voice while smiling broadly and extending my right hand in front of me as I did so.

Historia did not respond at first. Finally, however, perhaps the sight of my hand extended in front of her prompted her to slowly raise her head.

She then appeared confused, as if she was at a loss for what to do, and her face reddened. However, after what seemed like an eternity, I finally let out a chuckle.

After that, I took hold of Historia's right hand, and I forced her to shake hands with me.

When I abruptly grabbed Historia's hand, she couldn't help but put on a surprised expression. However, after I released her hand, she quickly retracted it and looked at me with suspicion in her eyes.

"Do you find my appearance strange as well?"

But I didn't wait for Historia's answer, and after that, I turned around and continued to say something while maintaining a facial expression that was tinged with a touch of melancholy.

"Never mind, and I'm sorry if I scared you."

"wait."

When I turned around, I could hear Historia's hurried voice coming from behind me, and when I looked at her face, I could see that she appeared to be feeling both pity and curiosity as she looked at me.

"Your appearance is not strange..." she tried to respond to my earlier question in a slightly louder voice.

"...but I think it's very beautiful..."

Even though the words she managed to squeak out at the very end sounded very husky and feeble, I could still make out every single one of them, which is why I responded by saying.

"Thank you."

"Your name also perfectly matches your appearance... very beautiful," Historia couldn't help but smile timidly while looking into my eyes.

When I heard the praise coming from little Historia, who was only 5 years old, I couldn't help but crack a smile.

"But I still don't know what your name is?"

As soon as Historia heard my question, she couldn't help but flash a shy smile.

"Greetings, my name is Hist..."

But before Historia could finish her sentence, Milch suddenly appeared and whispered something in my ear.

After that, I couldn't help but smile through my disappointment, but there was nothing else I could do about it.

"I'm sorry, I have to leave."

After that, I walked away and left Historia, whose expression revealed her disappointment very plainly, and even her smile seemed to gradually lose its brightness.

After that, I went back to the side of Pastor Nick and Roderich. They didn't appear to be suspicious at all, or perhaps they were so engrossed in what Rod Reiss had to say that they forgot about me.

huhhh...

After that, I took a few slow, deep breaths, and for some unexplainable reason, I felt even more elated than I did before. Perhaps the earlier encounter and interaction with Historia left a quirky feeling within me.

Because I didn't anticipate meeting the well-known female character from the Attack on Titan series in person, as opposed to only seeing her on the screen or in a book.

The popularity of Historia is no less than that of Mikasa or any of the other female characters. In fact, a significant number of fans of the Attack on Titan anime and manga really idolize her.

Moreover, I am just now having a face-to-face encounter with the younger version of Historia.

'hahahaha,' I laugh in my heart.

There is no reason for me to feel resentment toward Milch for interrupting my earlier plans. Because it was, in fact, her job to keep an eye on what was going on around me while I was having a conversation with Historia.

When Milch informed me that Rod Reiss' speech was finished, I made the decision to back off because I didn't want to put myself in any dangerous situations. After all, it wasn't the right time for Rod Reiss and me to meet, at least not yet.

After that, the meeting came to an end, and to my good fortune, priests Nick and Roderich did not take the opportunity to present me to Rod Reiss.

Nevertheless, despite this, I was still given the opportunity to meet several influential nobles, high-ranking military police officers, and fellow church members from other branches.

Their reactions were very varied, but initially, they were a little surprised when they saw my white hair and red eyes. However, after that, they felt attracted to me and welcomed me with open arms.

Some of them even immediately gave me sweet promises, such as they would help me if I needed something or if I got into trouble and the reason they did this was that they believed that I would become an influential person in the future.

But I don't really care about their promise, and I don't reject it either, so I just smile sweetly and say in my childish voice that I don't really care about it.

"Thank you very much, uncle and aunt."

Immediately after that, everyone went back to their own separate carriages.
