"Is this the Rockbell house?" ”
Holding a small parcel in his hand, that is, the one given to him by Wen Li's parents.
At this time, Estes was as light as a swallow compared to the appearance when he had just packed a large bag.
"Hey! Boy, what do you ask you? ~”
Behind him was Estes's prospective junior or junior brother, and the Eric brothers, who had completely taken on Estes's luggage just now.
"Of course, there's a sign at the door."
Edward, whose vision was no longer fully covered by the large bags and bags in his arms, replied breathlessly.
For him, the contents of his arms seemed a little too heavy.
"Hold on, hold on~ This is the senior sister's prior test and test for you, if you can't even bear this, how can you successfully worship the teacher? ~Thank me gratefully, boy~"
Estes has a deep memory of the treatment he received when he practiced in the Bligoz Snow Mountain, and it couldn't be lighter to hold things like this.
It would be nice not to let them carry the grizzly bears. ’
Looking at the sign at the door of the building in front of him, which said 'Mechanical Armor - Rockbell House', Estes, who knew that he had found the right place, took a breath and adjusted his state. Knock on the door.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Last night, Wen Li dreamed again that she hadn't seen her mother and father for more than two years.
A few years ago, under the semi-compulsory conscription of two uniformed servicemen, Wen Li's parents were taken to Ishbal. Although the conscription order was lifted, they did not leave Ishbal's patients behind and returned to Lischenpur.
For the sake of their own ideals and vocation, Wen Li's parents chose to stay in Ishbal to continue to help the people of Ishbal and Wen Li......
"Grandma, yesterday I dreamed of Mom and Dad again."
With large, hazy and slightly moist eyes, Wen Li held in her arms the puppy Barr, who had been injured in her forelimbs, and cried with her grandmother Pinako, who was preparing to repair the mechanical armor.
She misses her parents, she really misses them.
"Really?"
Pinako, the repairer of the mechanical armor, was not distracted by Wen Li's crying, and focused on his work was a fine tradition of the Rockbell family, whether it was Sarah and his wife or Wen Li's grandmother Pinako.
"Grandma, you say, when will Mom and Dad come back?"
Occasionally, when she was confused, thinking of her parents who she hadn't seen for so many years, Wen Li suddenly found herself somewhat accustomed to this feeling.
Last night, she had obviously dreamed of her parents, of their gentle and warm embrace, of those beautiful things.
Father appeared at the door, took off his black and somewhat old coat, and took off his hat to give Wen Li a strong embrace.
The mother held the snacks and toys she promised to bring back, and gave herself a warm and warm embrace.
When she thought about it, when she found that this qiē beauty was just a dream, Wen Li, who got up from the bed, found that she didn't cry and couldn't help but be a little scared.
She was afraid of herself who didn't cry like this, the self who gradually adapted to the absence of her parents, the self who began to blur the edges and corners of her parents' faces in her memory. The gentle one who became cold to the news and things of her mother and father.
It's been three years, counting this week, it's really been three years since her parents left home for the last time, Wen Li is getting older and more beautiful, each grows taller and taller, and her mind has begun to mature under her grandmother's education, during the three years, except for the occasional letter from her parents, Wen Li doesn't know anything about her parents, the only thing she knows is that her parents are dedicating their own qi ē to those people, those who need help and help.
"When...... I'm afraid we have to wait until this terrible civil strife is completely over, right? ”
After finishing some of her work, Pinak took off her glasses and looked up at the ceiling, but she didn't know exactly when it would be over, the civil unrest that had caused so much damage to their hometown and family.
About a year ago, the Ishbals began to occasionally go to the city of Lischenpur to kill people and set fires, occasionally attack government offices and town public institutions, burn houses and loot storefronts, and wreak havoc on Lischenbour.
Thankfully, the Lockbell family was not targeted by the Ishbals in the countryside, so they didn't have much real sense of the riots and destruction in the city, and they only felt it when more and more amputee patients came to Pinak for prosthetics and mechanical armor recently, and the civil unrest had spread to their hometown.
"Civil strife...... When will it end? ”
When the civil strife is over, her parents will be able to come back, which is the most important thing for Wen Li.
The faces of my parents that gradually blurred in my mind, the self that gradually stopped crying, and the desire for the love of my parents in my heart.
"That's not what to say."
Lighting a bag of cigarettes, Pinak pondered for a moment as he recalled the rumors he had heard from his patients in recent times.
"But it shouldn't be worse, I heard Jonathan, who came to see the doctor a few days ago, say that the civil strife in the Ishbal region has been effectively suppressed, the rioters have been pressed back into the city by the army, and the wandering Ishbals from other places have basically withdrawn to their holy city, and the Ishbal people who came to the city regularly to make trouble some time ago have not appeared again for three months, and the civil strife should end soon, right?"
Estes's intelligence and the impressive achievements of his Chasseur Regiment have indeed greatly turned the tide of battle in Ishbal, and this influence can be felt intuitively even in Lischenbour.
The Ishbals gave up harassment and began to retreat gradually.
"So, will Mom and Dad be back soon?!"
For Wen Li, who is only ten years old, the rebellion and riot that Pinaco talks about are still a little far away from her, and Wen Li, who has been in the countryside, still cannot understand the meaning of those so-called riots.
"Yes, if the civil strife can be quelled sooner, Yuri and Sarah will be able to come back sooner......"
"Knock Knock"
Just as the old and the young were talking about when the civil strife would end and when Wen Li's parents would return, there was a knock at the door.
"Is Mom and Dad back?!"
Just now grandma said that the civil strife has been controlled, and now when she asks Wen Li, she has already begun to guess that maybe her parents have returned, so she excitedly trotted all the way to the Xuanmen and opened the door.
"Hello little girl, is this the Lockberga house? ~”
Standing at the door was not Wen Li's parents, but a beautiful sister about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall, energetic, and with aqua blue hair. He was followed by Edward and Al, who were about to be crushed by the parcels and luggage.
"Hmm. This is the Rockbell house. ”
Wen Li nodded with her big innocent and lovely eyes.
"Is there something wrong with the big sister?"
Because there are people who need to repair mechanical armor all day long, Wen Li is not afraid of life at all.
"My name is Aisha, a trainee doctor, and today I brought back your mother's and father's letters and gifts from your parents~"
The beautiful and heroic blue-haired girl showed a gentle and bright smile and gently touched her warm golden hair.
"Does Big Sister Know Mom?"
Although she was a little excited to hear that her parents had come back with something, she still hoped that it was her parents who came back.
"Well, of course~"
As he spoke, he stuffed the last package in his arms into Edward's hand, ignoring his feelings, and then took Wen Li in his arms and rubbed it.
"I'm your mother's student~"
…………
"Legs...... My legs are numb......"
Edward, who was carrying dozens of pounds of things, was almost crushed by the last package thrown by Estes, but fortunately, his body was stronger because of the fight with Al, otherwise he would really not be able to carry it.
"Brother...... That one...... Are you alright? ”
Although Alphonse has a lot of things, it is not enough compared to his brother Edward's side.
Al could still see the road ahead, while Edward's side couldn't see anything
"That guy...... Letting a child take so many things and not care about anything himself...... In vain I thought she was a good person......"
The distance from Edward's house to Lockbell's house was not close, and Edward couldn't see the road with dozens of pounds of things, so he was tired for so long.
"Edward! What are you doing? Why don't you get your stuff in? ”
Estes, who walked into the house with Wen Li in his arms, did not forget to instigate Edward.
"Damn......... This woman ......"
Although he was already tired and about to fall, Edward couldn't help but give in for the sake of apprenticeship.
It's unbelievably strict with the people you care about, and it's Bradley-esque.
And for Edward, the stinky boy he fancies, Estes did the same.
"Hurry up and move here! Otherwise, let the teacher cancel your apprenticeship! ”
"Yikes! Don't do that! I'll go over here! ”
For Edward, Estes will always make things difficult in every way, making many people think that Estes doesn't like Edward.
In reality, however...... This is the expression that Estes values Edward.
Estes's way of caring about people is incomprehensible to many people.
