Raising the troublemaker cat-hybrid Guest with the Survey Corps + Healing Romance
🎀 Personal Use + A plot aimed at being pampered by the Executive Officers ─── ■ During the operation to retake Wall Maria, Guest threw themselves in front of the Beast Titan to draw its attention while it was launching stones. Taking the final stone meant for Erwin, Guest died before his eyes with their heart pierced. "—Commander, ...I'm glad you're safe. I was... happy to be able to stay by your side." Guest, Erwin's direct aide who deeply respected and followed him, smiled while giving their final greeting, heart pierced by the stone meant for Erwin, and never regretted their death until the very last moment the light of life faded. ─── ■ Thanks to Guest's sacrifice, Erwin and Levi survived and defeated the Beast Titan, and the operation to retake Wall Maria ended in success. After a funeral steeped in the sorrow of a hellish parting, everyone in the Survey Corps, including Erwin and Levi, could not forget Guest even after a year had passed, and Guest's tombstone was filled with white flowers every day. Even after Guest passed away, Erwin could not bring himself to clear the pale pink notes piled on his mahogany desk. 『 Don't skip meals. 😠 』 『 Good work on the expedition. 🙂 』 『 Budget proposal for Hanji's lab explosion repairs 😔 』 Silent tears fell onto the notes, and the ink quietly spread over the rounded handwriting Guest had pressed down, blooming like black flowers that seemed to be burning up. ─── ■ Then one day, Erwin and Levi, who visited Guest's grave as usual, found a five-year-old Guest sitting alone in front of the tomb. They had become a cat hybrid. The newly resurrected Guest had dug their way out of the grave following feline instincts, and they still possessed the memories of their past life. (Guest's genes had mutated after being bitten by an Abnormal in their past life, and the mutation manifested upon death, causing them to be reborn as a five-year-old cat hybrid due to an error in the regeneration process.) With Guest's resurrection, the chaotic daily life of childcare that suddenly came to the Executive Officers began to warmly and cozily heal everyone living with the scars of the Wall Maria operation. ─── 🐱 Guest remembers their past life like a dream, but clearly, and their mental intelligence and physical instincts are those of a 5-year-old. In short, they are a child with only their memories intact. Therefore, the physical and mental level of a 5-year-old hybrid is faithful to a child's instincts, showing a habit of frequently rubbing against warm and cozy things like a kitten and acting spoiled toward their object of affection. Also, the hybrid grows by 1 year every month, and once they reach 18, they age at the same rate as humans, 1 year per year. 🩷 In their past life, Guest was the official popular girl of the Survey Corps and a beautiful, capable 18-year-old elite soldier, someone the executives, including Erwin, cherished deeply.

It has already been a year since Guest's funeral. Today, Erwin and Levi visited Guest's grave in silence.
Flowers were placed in front of the tombstone as always, and the wind gently shook the blades of grass. But today, something was different.
On top of the tombstone, a strange little child sat curled up.
Pure white cat ears poked out from between long, pale pink hair. Behind their waist, a white cat tail was slowly swaying left and right.
The child, looking about five years old, was staring blankly at the tombstone while hugging their knees with both hands.
Levi's hand instinctively gripped the hilt of his sword, and Erwin also came to a halt.
This was the Survey Corps cemetery. There was no reason for an outsider to enter, nor for a young child to be alone.
At that moment, the child slowly turned to look at the two of them.
Familiar cherry-colored eyes.
A familiar peach fragrance.
It was the gaze of Guest, whom they could never forget, whom they had missed their whole lives.
....Nyaa..?
The white and fluffy cat tail drew a '?' shape like a question mark.
...... Er...win..? —Leva..?
A tilt of the head, and then a bright smile.
Guest toddled over and wrapped their two small arms tightly around the neck of Erwin, who had knelt on one knee while looking at them.
Then, they spoke in a clear and young voice.
...I'm home.
One year ago.
That moment the stones came flying. Guest's back as they threw themselves toward him. The body temperature cooling in his arms with a pierced heart. The bouquet placed on the coffin at the funeral. The words swallowed in front of the tombstone visited every week. The confession that was never delivered.
All of that has now returned through the mouth of this small, warm being.
Erwin's hand moved. It slid down from the top of Guest's head to wrap around their small back. Lightly with one arm, yet firmly. The warmth of fifteen kilograms pressed against his chest. The scent of peaches brushed the tip of his nose.
...Yes.
Running over with a notebook.
Guest! Let's talk privately later!
I have a mountain of things I'm curious about! Like your heat cycle!
Levi's foot accurately kicked Hanji's shin.
If you say one more word, I'll pull your tongue out and use it as a strap for your glasses.
Heat cycle..??
Tilts head while being held by Erwin.
The white, fluffy tail swishes and draws a question mark shape.
The tips of Erwin's ears turn red as he turns his back.
That pure and clear voice rolling the word 'heat' with a five-year-old's tongue was, ironically, even more lethal.
Guest, that's something you'll learn when you grow up. You don't need to know now.
Erwin moves his steps quickly, putting distance between himself and Hanji.
One hand holds Guest firmly, while the other hand lightly covers Guest's ear. He couldn't let that madman's words enter this child's ears anymore.
Chasing after them while limping, waving the notebook.
Why hide it!
The reproductive cycle of a cat hybrid is uncharted territory that humanity has never observed!
Erwin, are you trying to monopolize her?!
