Chapter 154: No regrets, my friend

As Yoshida expected, after the release of the new issue of "Steelcore", the telephone storm launched several strong attacks on the editorial department!

Eighty percent of the phone calls were related to "Steel"! Among them, the most talked about Al using his soul as a price to exchange for Edward's right hand and arm, many readers are very worried about this episode, and the reason for calling the editorial office is nothing more than the result after asking, Edward finally defeated the villain in the flask, and Al was finally rescued......

Although he had already read the content of the last episode before, it was impossible for Yoshida to reveal the content to the readers, and this involved some confidentiality issues! Makoto Takahashi naturally did not leak the plot, which Yoshida was very relieved about! As for the readers' phone calls, other colleagues who did not know the content editorial department could only comfort them with kind words, so that readers could wait for the content of the next episode with peace of mind!

"It seems that this time Phoenix Courtyard's fierce "Steel Refining" can get the first place again!" Yujiro complained to Yoshida unhappily, "But Yoshida, although the result is good, but if this happens a few more times, I want to change jobs!

"Well...... This can be regarded as a manifestation of the popularity of "Steel", hehe!" The smirk of the sea urchin head Hattori to ease the atmosphere sounded, and this survivor of the telephone storm looked at Yoshida, who was still currying favor and explaining to the phone, with a look of shame on his face, "I have also seen this sentence of "Steel", and I am a little embarrassed to say it. But seeing that Al gave his soul in exchange for Edward's arm, I couldn't hold back...... Huh!"

As an editor. It should be reviewed before the manga is serialized, and it is natural that you should have the ability to deal with the problems that may occur after the manga is serialized!" Editor Aida joined the discussion angrily, his tone full of endless resentment, "Now that something like this is happening, Yoshida didn't expect it at the beginning as the editor in charge, and this is his dereliction of duty!"

“…… Yes. You'll find out when the next episode is published...... Well. That's it!" Yoshida, who had just put down the phone, had a painful and happy expression on his face! Sure enough, the content of his words that had been in tears before was also very effective for readers! Yoshida pursed his lips unhappily and complained in a venting manner, "I already knew this was going to happen! After all, all the manga drafts of "Steel Forge" until the end are with me!"

"The content behind is ......" When several colleagues heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all stared at Yoshida, with a curious look on their faces!

The look of expectation, the absolute lethality of the same owner!Especially when I saw a few big men trying to keep their eyes open, and there was a glint of curiosity in them. Yoshida instantly felt a chill! Although selling cuteness is the way to survive, it is not necessarily suitable for everyone, especially the editors who have passed the age of establishment!

"This ...... I'll go to Ah Cheng to discuss. Regarding the final ending...... "Yoshida used a very bad excuse to launch the escape skill, and got rid of the offensive of the disgusting uncles in time to sell cute!"

When Yoshida arrives at Makoto Takahashi's house, he sees Makoto Takahashi sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a huge bowl full of sake in front of him, talking to someone. From time to time, with a smiling expression, I lifted the giant bowl and took a few sips!

I said...... Ah Cheng, what are you doing here?" The corners of his mouth twitched wildly, and he looked at Makoto Takahashi with a black line, "It can't be that you're talking to an association or something, right?"

“…… Isn't it too early to start preparing for the wedding with peace of mind?" Ignoring Yoshida's question, Makoto Takahashi put down the bowl with a smile on his face that reminded Yoshida of some black history, "Brother Muzi, have you ever thought about what if you didn't get the first place in the content of the last sentence...... I thought I had come to the door of hope, but when I opened the door, I found that I would fall into the abyss of despair...... Such a contrast is cute, and it is really the most loving existence!"...

"It turned out that I was talking to Li Bingyin on the phone!" Yoshida was a little surprised this time! At first, I thought that Makoto Takahashi was just talking to himself on the phone as usual, but now it's open...... Staring at the expression on Makoto Takahashi's face that gradually turned blackened, Yoshida shook his head helplessly, although he said that he didn't care, but he still had some ...... about Li Bingyin's departure

The sixth sense came with a dangerous hint, and Yoshida, who followed his body's instincts, squatted down without hesitation, and a cold slashed over Yoshida's head dangerously and dangerously, and the loud noise behind him made Yoshida, who turned his head and looked back, swallow his saliva unconsciously! The wooden sword pierced into the wall, and the half-cut sword body that kept shaking was obviously a wooden sword that didn't look sharp at all! Yoshida, who had just brushed shoulders with death, clearly understood that if his reaction had been slower before, something would definitely have happened! Well, human life is a major matter!

"Whew, didn't you hit......" Makoto Takahashi, who was muttering quietly, slowly put down his right hand, and after taking a big sip of wine, a dangerous smile appeared on his face, "My dependents are cats, it seems that your reflexes have indeed improved a lot after a period of practice!"

"Ah Cheng, are you trying to kill me?" Yoshida, who had palpitations, instantly entered Spartan roaring mode, "Don't think I didn't hear what you just said......"

"My dependents, cat, I want to kill you...... So what?" Makoto Takahashi was shameless, and admitted it calmly! "You are so stupid that you are immersed in your inner world, and you didn't even notice it after I finished the phone call! Hmph! You must be slandering me in your heart! hehe...... I don't know if you, who are tortured next, will regret that you subconsciously dodged at that time, and regret that you didn't choose to die in time!"

"Makoto, don't be so cruel and scary!You won't do that at all!" Yoshida unleashed a contemptuous taunt, his face showing a 'you're going to hit me' expression, staring at Makoto Takahashi defiantly, and the two fell into a confrontation phase! Yoshida couldn't bear the pressure at first, so he spread his hands helplessly, "Okay, Cheng." That's the end of this boring game! Now let's talk about the last episode of Steelcore!"

"What else is there to discuss?" Takahashi Makoto heard Yoshida mention "Steel Forge", the expression on his face became even more unhappy, he got up and walked to the wall, and took the wooden sword back in his hand, "The number one position will be unshakable! Before summer comes, "Steel Chain" will become a brilliant firework. The dazzling and charming light will be engraved in the soul of mankind! will also take this opportunity to awaken the third sword that was sealed in the yokai era, hehe...... Drink hahaha......"

Under the tearful expectation of many readers, the last sentence of "Steel Forge" is the content. Finally published!

After Al banished his soul, in order to completely defeat the villain in the flask, Greed, who was greedily incarnated, took the opportunity of being devoured to complete the strongest trick of the domineering pure master [Sacrifice Blow], and before he died, he carbonized the villain in the flask all over his body and assisted his teammate Edward to take the head!

For this result, many readers can't help but feel sad. Not to mention Al, who had left this world before, after counting, he finally understood what he had been pursuing, and the price paid to kill the villain in the flask. It's too big! The comic doesn't end here, but goes to the armor left by Al! This is what readers are most concerned about, after all, Al told the truth before that his brother Edward will definitely come here and bring him back!

But...... What will Edward have to give?...

Want to resurrect the dead. This kind of thing was impossible, and the Edward brothers paid a heavy price for it. This is also the beginning of the whole comic!Faced with Al's tattered armor, Edward's teammates proposed to exchange the remaining Philosopher's Stone for Al's soul, but Edward refused! and Hohenheim, who later appeared as a loving father, also made the same suggestion, hoping that Edward would use the last share of the Philosopher's Stone on his body to exchange for Al!

"Stupid, how do you do such a thing? Our brother lost his body because of our own fault! Haven't I said many times that you must not use other people's lives to take back Al's body?" As many readers had expected, Edward refused without hesitation, and reprimanded his father severely!

Although readers knew that Edward would refuse such an offer, but looking at Edward's unhesitating refusal in the comics, the heart that had just been hanging slowly relaxed, especially all the time, supporters of Al fans!

"Because I'm a father!" Hohenheim's answer made Edward's expression instantly stiffen, and when the reader saw this, he was stunned at first, and then he was captured by Hohenheim's strong fatherly love!"It's not a matter of need or reason, because you are my most important family, so I hope you can be happy! The reason why your body has become like this is that I am also responsible for your indulgence...... I'm sorry, I've lived long enough...... At the last moment, let me do the most thing that is in line with my fatherhood!"

"What stupid things are you talking about, damn Dad! Don't say that again, or I'll beat you up!"

In the comics, Edward's tearful tsundere look, but the readers who watched it this time couldn't laugh at all, because many people's eyes had begun to gradually blur! This family drama between father and son is not inferior to the previous scene where Al sacrificed himself in exchange for Edward's arm!

In the comics, Edward kept thinking of a way; outside of the comics, readers also fell into thinking, can this kind of thing really be done without sacrificing anyone to get back to Al? However, as Edward began to draw human bodies on the ground to form a formation, many readers were a little puzzled, Edward, who was at a loss just now, had already thought of a way? Of course, many readers were a little worried, worried that Edward would sacrifice himself in exchange for his younger brother Al, just like Al!

"I'll go for a ......" Edward stood in the middle of the alchemy array, his hands folded, and a confident smile on his face, "Fullmetal Alchemist, the final alchemy!"

For Edward's claim that the flag is suspected of being erected. As if a sense of foreboding had arisen, anxious readers hurriedly turned to the next page of the comic manuscript! Countless readers had only one thought in their hearts...... Don't do anything stupid, Edward!

Edward stood in front of a heavy gate. The delicate stripes on the door, every stroke is full of mystery! Although readers recognize at a glance that this is the door of truth, they can't help but admire this delicate painting!

"Yo, do you want to take your brother Al back? But how are you going to take a man away? At what cost? Do you want to sacrifice your body?"

"Isn't that the price, a huge ......," Edward smiled, gesturing to the door behind him. "This is my door to truth...... That is, how to use it. It's all my freedom!Am I wrong?"...

Shocked! Shocked! Big surprise!

As for Edward's choice, many readers, like the truth in the comics, couldn't help but marvel after a short period of surprise! Edward actually thought of this method! Many readers were full of excitement in their hearts. After all, they hadn't guessed before that the price Edward chose to pay would be his ability to use alchemy!

"Indeed...... Behind this door, there is all the knowledge of alchemy...... But that's why we're at the mercy of others! Because when we see the truth, we think that everything can be solved by alchemy...... But what was wrong then was just arrogance!"

"What kind of degeneration does not degenerate, from the very beginning I will die as an ordinary person, and the little girl who has been turned into a synthetic beast can't be saved. Tiny human beings!"

"Even if there is no alchemy, there are still everyone!" Edward smiled, his hands folded. Break your door of truth into pieces, and then, as readers can see, bring Al back!

Readers regret that Edward could not use alchemy in the future, but as the Edward brothers insisted, they did not sacrifice anyone's lives. Although this ending seems a bit regrettable, it definitely meets the thoughts of most readers! When the two brothers returned to their hometown and were hugged by Wen Li, who was crying with joy, many readers couldn't help but shed tears!

"There is no point in teaching without pain! Because one cannot gain anything unless one sacrifices something! But when one endures such pain and overcomes it, one gains a tenacious heart that does not lose to anything! Yes, a heart as tough as steel!"

As the final discourse of "Steel Forged", it is naturally very in line with the theme of the whole comic! Although there are many touching points in the comics, different readers have different understandings, but after reading this paragraph, every reader's mind will unconsciously emerge the plot of "Steel Forged" and fall into memory mode!

On the same day that "Shonen Jumk" released "Steelcore" ended, Makoto Takahashi also received a call from several manga artists!

"Congratulations on the completion of "Steel Refining"! The teacher of the Phoenix Academy said it hard, and it was very exciting!" The new wife Eiji is still the same character, if she likes it, she will say it directly, and she will not shy away from challenging it! "Although the time is not unfortunate this time, I will definitely defeat you next time, Teacher of the Phoenix Academy!"

"Ah, Cheng, you did a good job this time! I read the content of the last sentence...... Although I am unwilling, it seems that the first thing is still yours!" "This time it was the hard-mouthed and soft-hearted Futian brother who called, and that arrogant tone was really cute!" "But it's only this time...... Next time my new comics, I'll be able to beat you!"

"Congratulations on completing "Steel Refining", Makoto Takahashi ......" seemed to be afraid of the pollution of the second radio waves, and Miss Cangshuhong, who had a good tutor, just said a simple greeting and hung up the phone directly!

As for the little sea otter, he was going to come to congratulate him in person, but he was captured by Yoshida before he went out, and he was dragged back directly, and at the same time, he confiscated all props that could be used to communicate with the outside world, such as mobile phones...... A few days later, Yoshida, who came to collect the manga manuscript, accidentally said something about the leak when he conveyed the little sea otter's congratulations......

"I know, are you going to say congratulations on the end?" opened it slightly, and looked at the duo of Yacheng Mu Mengye outside the door, Takahashi Makoto showed half of his face, and directly broke the intention of the two, "So is it okay now? I am entering the critical moment of cultivation, have I seen the thunderclouds in the sky? This is the real thunderstorm of my Phoenix Courtyard, if you don't want to be dragged down, just leave quickly!"

"Words...... "After Makoto Takahashi was kind enough to entertain the closed door, the two of them looked at the sky suspiciously, "Thunderclouds or something, will they appear in this hot and dead sunny day?"

After closing the door, the mobile phone on the table kept vibrating, and looking at the name displayed on the phone, Makoto Takahashi had a smile on his face!

“…… It's me!" Makoto Takahashi said slowly to the person on the other end of the phone, "Well, yes, it's over......! No regrets now, right?"

"......" This time on the phone was as if he had fallen into a state of aphasia, and there was no response to any words!

"Are you in a state of silence?" Makoto Takahashi smiled, "Oh, it seems that there is a distraction in his heart, no, since you have chosen, you can't regret it! If you want to get something, you have to give something...... So you get it? It's called ......."

"Is it equivalent to exchange...... the person on the other side of the phone let out a long sigh, "All along, thanks to your care, Ah Cheng!"

"It's the same here, my friend!" (to be continued)

ps: 5,000 achievements achieved!This can be regarded as the love paid by "Steel Forge"~ So it's okay to be single, right? By the way, it's really an unfortunate thing to have to work overtime tomorrow
