How long has it been since she fell asleep in bed, completely relaxed and not worried about an attack? When Eren woke up, she was startled by the feeling of the pillow on her face. Her habits from her previous life made her uncomfortable with comfort. The sound of birds and waves outside the window tells her that yesterday was not a dream. Everything seems unreal since yesterday, from reuniting with the black cat to this morning. She wonders if it's a dream she had while sleeping in front of a campfire or if it's like seeing a mirage before dying. But no matter how hard she tries to come to her senses, she can only know that it's reality. Normally, she would have gotten up, tidied up, and hit the road. Walking, sometimes running. Killing monsters. Chewing on tree roots. Taking a nap in the rough outdoors. She spent such dull days and suddenly waking up on a soft and fluffy bed feels too unfamiliar. Eren takes a shower, grateful for the presence of water wherever she goes. She puts on a white cotton dress and sits for a moment. Her stomach growls. It's always hungry. Honestly, what she ate yesterday didn't satisfy her. The hunger that has been ingrained in her bones for years doesn't seem to be filled no matter how much she eats. Eren heads to the kitchen. The pantry is full of ingredients, and the kitchen is equipped with all the systems, including cooking utensils. It was difficult to indulge in food in the field. But she learned a lot from Reinhart during her time in the temple. If you know the basics, it's not difficult to apply them. With ingredients, she could cook anytime. For the first time in a long time, Eren cooked with a kitchen knife instead of a combat knife. She didn't make anything special, just the meat stew she loved so much. She planned to make a lot of it to relieve the anger that had built up due to the forced news. So she ate and ate and ate until she couldn't finish it all. While eating, Eren suddenly hears the door open and sees Reinhardt enter the kitchen. Embarrassed by her messy appearance while eating stew, Eren realizes that Reinhardt has brought food for her. Later, Reinhardt lays out a variety of food for Eren and apologizes for his harsh words the day before. Eren feels guilty for not being able to prepare anything in return and is overwhelmed by Reinhardt's kindness. Despite feeling emotional, Eren is unable to express herself and Reinhardt continues to make light conversation. Feeling so happy, sorry, and guilty that everything could go back to the way it was before if only she could accept it. But she couldn't. Ellen couldn't say anything, overwhelmed by Reinhardt's kindness and unable to express herself. Reinhardt continued to make light conversation, and Ellen felt guilty for not being able to prepare anything in return. Ellen's inability to express herself added to the tension and emotional depth of the story. Ellen had reached her limit both mentally and physically, so she left herself alone until she could recover her original condition. It took about a month. Reinhardt asked if she had ramen, and Ellen was unsure why he was asking. Reinhardt refused to allow her to gather branches like on the first day. Ellen hesitated to speak up, but Reinhardt's harsh words made her feel helpless. Despite feeling guilty for not being able to prepare anything in return, Ellen was unable to find the words to express her gratitude. After a month, Ellen's condition had improved, and she was able to communicate with Reinhardt again. "Reinhardt wants to confirm how strong Ellen has become compared to before. He wants to fight her in her full state to prove that he has surpassed his master. Ellen smiles faintly, holding her Moon Sword, Ramint, which has transformed from its previous form. Reinhardt asks about her artifact, and Ellen responds that it is in perfect condition. They engage in a battle, and Ellen pushes Reinhardt back with her sword. She tells him that he has become arrogant, and she will show him her full power as she wanted to fight him in her full state. Reinhardt laughs and says that he can handle it. They continue to fight, and Ellen pushes Reinhardt back with her sword." As a storm of magic exploded, they bounced off each other as if they had been fighting roughly. Both of them landed properly without tumbling on the white sand. Ellen charged fiercely with Ramint in her hand. Reinhardt also rushed forward. The hem of the hero's white dress and the demon king's shirt fluttered roughly in the wind.
