Chapter 4 - Living with Mikasas family (1/2)

(Karl's POV)

”So Athanatos-kun... You don't know who you are beside your name?” I asked this boy while staring at him seriously. He doesn't even seem to faze by the slightest and just keeps looking at me with his dark eyes.

[No.]

I see, so he's a boy with a few words. However, I feel that this boy is dangerous. No. He's dangerous. My Ackermann blood is telling me so. Even if I don't look like so, killing and hunting is my 2nd nature. I have killed countless animals and men, and yet the boy in front of me can make me feel... fear

This is gonna be a big headache. Fortunately, this boy seems grateful for us taking him in.

”Athanatos-kun, so you don't know who your parents are?” My wife finally spoke up seeing me not knowing how to converse at all.

[I don't know]

I'm trying very hard to ignore the fact that he doesn't speak at all. It feels like someone is talking right into my head, this feeling is so weird and somewhat unpleasant. I think I should ask Dr. Yeager to put him into the orphanage. It seems my wife is troubled too.

”Athanatos-kun, how about living in the orphanage?”

I finally brought up this fact after contemplating it for a while. Ouch. I think I'm being stared daggers by my daughter. Does she like this kid? To be honest, I don't want to raise another child, especially this dangerous kid. We're quite poor too so...

Urghh, what is this feeling? Something is crawling inside my body. Is this the boy's doing.

”What are you doing? Boy?” I raised my voice slightly in anger and the feeling quickly disappeared soon after.
