 is the fifth chapter of Attack on Titan: No Regrets, written by Gun Snark and illustrated by Hikaru Suruga.

Summary
After finally making there way to a resting point. Isabel Magnolia and Furlan Church discuss the safety of staying within the ruins for the night. Regardless of what they think, Levi Ackerman tells them to keep their guard up anyway.

Inside the soldiers begin unpacking crates and setting up places to sleep. Levi and Furlan discuss the ease of killing a Titan, with Levi stating they're faster than he originally thought. While he believes he can kill a regular Titan, he thinks abnormal Titans may be more of a problem; even for him. Their conversation quickly moves on to the documents they're looking for. Not having found it in Erwin Smith's room, Furlan believes that he's carrying them with him on the expedition. Though Furlan wonders whether it's just a ploy by Erwin. Isabel adds that if Erwin was trying hard enough to hide something from the Survey Corps, Lobov would know. But Levi questions if they can trust Lobov, to which Furlan replies that from Lobov's point of view their just "worthless insects."

They quickly move on to their plan of finding the documents. With Furlan and Isabel searching Erwin's belongings. Levi is left to keep watch and distract Erwin and commander Keith Shadis, should they come back before Furlan can give the signal. While he waits, Levi thinks back to how they got their mission from, a mysterious man sent by, Nicholas Lobov. With the reward of money and a place in the capital, they were hard pressed to pass up the opportunity without hearing the man out. Furlan convinces the man to give them more time to think on it, then quickly tells the others they'll spy on him. He assumes only a noble or "big name" merchant could give them such an offer. He convinces them that once they have those documents they could black mail Lobov themselves.

With Furlan's question ringing in his ears, he gets frustrated that Furlan and Isabel aren't back yet. To his dismay, Erwin begins walking his way. The two make eye contact, and Levi quickly starts up a conversation. The topic soon turns to Titans, with Erwin complementing Levi on killing an abnormal. But based on Levi's confession, he admits that there's still things they don't know about the outside world. Suddenly, Isabel comes back with an excuse ready; though Levi wonders why it's so bad.

Back in the entryway, the three discuss killing Erwin to get the documents. Before they can finish, Hange Zoë appears wanting to talk to them. Believing they've been caught, Levi readies his knife to silence her. But to their surprise, she was talking about the Titan kill earlier in the day. She begins gushing about how excited she was and quickly introduces herself. She launches a slurry of questions at them, to which Furlan encourages Levi to be "sociable." It comes to their attention that everyone is watching them. Hange admits that it was inspiring to watch him kill that Titan, and that it makes the others believe that humanity will not lose to the Titans. Isabel begins boasting about Levi's skills, which prompts Hange to offer her sweets. As Hange persists, Levi admits that he's self taught and claims he's exhausted. Hange takes the hint and says farewell to them, offering to buy them lunch if they all make it back alive.

Though Furlan found Hange strange, he felt Levi could have been more helpful. Levi makes it clear, the only lives he wants to be responsible for is Isabel's and Furlan's. Isabel admits she doesn't understand the "humanity taking back the world" stuff. But asks Levi if he feels it's okay for them to die for that sort of thing. As Levi stays silent, the day begins to fade away.
