Children (Chapter)

Children is the 47th chapter of Shingeki no Kyojin manga written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama.

Summary
Ymir's limbs finish regenerating and Eren is dissatisfied about not being able to get much information out of them. Bertholdt asks Reiner if he really trusts Ymir, because her Titan form was small but fast and could outwit them easily. Bertholdt also reminds him that she had devoured Berik. Reiner reasons that because she became human again and that she cares a lot about Christa, they can trust her. Bertholdt doubts whether Reiner was normal or not, and Reiner asks him to relax as he was still a 'warrior'. Reiner reminds him that Annie had tailed some Wall Cult members and figured out that Christa was from one of the Wall Cult families. Thus, it would be easier to locate the "Coordinate" they were looking for if Christa was with them. Bertholdt wishes to finish their mission after bringing back Annie, Christa and the "Coordinate" and returning to their hometown. Reiner wants Bertholdt to express his feelings to Annie.

Reiner notices signal flares from a distance and Bertholdt exclaims that the Survey Corps shouldn't have been able to assemble their enemy detection formation without transporting a large number of horses outside the wall. Reiner speculates that Commander Erwin may be present and jumps off towards Eren to subdue him. Eren tries to fight back but to no avail. Bertholdt asks Ymir if she remembers eating people in her Titan form. Ymir replies that she became human five years ago and does not remember eating anybody. Ymir observes that Eren doesn't remember anything either and wonders if Bertholdt hated her. Bertholdt asks her the time for which she was roaming outside the Walls to which Ymir replies that she had spent sixty years in her Titan form, which was like a never ending nightmare.

Reiner and Bertholdt carry Eren and Ymir respectively on their backs and set out to leave. Ymir wonders why they didn't wait until night, and notices signal flares behind her. Ymir notes that Christa was pursuing her and expresses her desire to take her with them, to which Reiner and Bertholdt turn a deaf ear. She grips Bertholdt and blocks his eye so that he has problems maneuvering. Ymir threatens them to fight each other to death if they don't get Christa.

The Reconnaissance troops approach the forest until they notice a flash of light inside it. Erwin assumes it to be from the Titan transformation. Hannes and the others switch to the 3D gear and enter the forest to retrieve Eren. They hear a Titan's cry and subsequently see Ymir's Titan form clinging to a tree, waiting for them. Connie and Jean try to talk to her, but she doesn't respond. Ymir surveys each of them one by one until she notices Christa, captures her in her mouth and escapes with great agility. Reiner transforms into his Titan form and Bertholdt and Ymir cling to his back as they make their escape. Hannes and the others switch to riding horses and Hannes states that he would bring Eren back even if it cost him his life.
