Winley Lockbell, a girl who grew up playing with Edward and Al, is an important presence for the Ellik brothers as much as family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although Wen Li's parents died early in the country's civil strife, she was not defeated by grief, and she was still cheerful and lively at all times, and she was a strong and gentle girl.

Perhaps it has something to do with her grandmother Binar, who lives with her grandmother Binar, who is a "mechanical engineer", and Wen Li is so passionate about mechanics that she is even called a "mechanical nerd" by Edward, who single-handedly repairs Edward's mechanical prosthetics after the events of four years ago.

Lately, Winley seems to have realized that she likes Edward, ahem, even though she often hits him with a wrench...... Unfortunately, just now, Edward and Al have already burned down the house where they have lived for more than ten years, and they are determined to set off to the imperial capital to find a way to retrieve their bodies, and they don't know when they will return...... No, maybe it's a question of whether he can come back, four years ago, when he saw Al who had just become an armor holding a bloody Edward to the door for help, Wen Li knew very well that "Alchemy" was not a god-given benevolent technology.

It's just that she can't stop Brother Elric—

"Wen Li? Don't go to sleep yet? Grandmother Binak walked into the living room and said worriedly about her granddaughter.

"Grandma...... It's still early, right? Usually Wen Li often debugs machinery at this point in time, and sometimes even falls asleep on the workbench with oil, even if she is beautiful, she can't hide her job as an engineering woman.

"Let's go to bed a little earlier today......" Even Alr could see that Wen Li liked Edward, not to mention Binako, who had a lot of life experience...... Of course, even if you don't have this feeling, the worry about your childhood sweetheart is heavy enough.

There was a knock at the door.

"Is it Ed'em?" Wen Li hurriedly walked to open the door, of course she didn't think that the two brothers Edward and Al had just given up as soon as they walked to the train station, and they had even burned down their homes, and they had already made up their minds to break the boat...... It's just that, apart from them, Wen Li can't think of anyone visiting her house at this point in time, so she can only guess, 'Is there something left behind?' ’。

Open the door, and sure enough, it's ......

“…… You are? The name was about to burst out of her throat, but Winley swallowed it down.

"Ahaha...... I'm Al, Wen Li," Al smiled bitterly as he wore an adult outfit that clearly didn't match his figure, then lowered his head and asked Grandma Binak, who was even shorter than him, "Grandma, our house was burned down, can we spend the night?" ”

“…… Indeed, this physiognomy is Alphonse...... But? Binak looked at Al in disbelief, and found that he was faintly overlapping with the appearance of the youngest son of the Elrink family - Daji used Edward's body as a template, and then modified the photo of Al when he was a child, not like a ghost.

Wen Li hurriedly asked, "But aren't you just going to the imperial capital to refer to the "National Alchemist"?" Why did you suddenly get your body back? ”

"When you go out and meet a nobleman...... Pretty much that's it? Al scratched his head and stepped out of the way.

Behind him were more than a dozen people Wen Li didn't know.

"Yo, listen to these two beans, you made this thing? Can we go in and see the workshop? Liz asked, holding up Edward's former right arm.

"Ahh My mechanical armor!? Wen Li saw her and her grandmother's work at a glance, and she subconsciously wanted to be angry...... But before the anger rose, she immediately reacted, "Difficult, could it be that Ed's body is also ......?!" ”

"Huh?" When Wen Li asked, Al was stunned, and hurriedly dragged the loose adult clothes back, and found Edward squatting on the ground at the back of the line, "Brother, go over and let Wen Li see your right arm and left leg?" ”

"Leave me alone...... Let me ...... quietly," Edward fell to the side, like a salted fish.

"Sure enough, it's Edward......" Seeing that Al was still suspicious, after all, he was just an armor not long ago, but seeing Edward, who was dressed exactly like before, Wen Li was finally relieved, "However, didn't he get his body back, why is he still like this?" ”

"Ah......hh I want to die...... My first time was actually ............ Actually ............ "cover your face."

"Uh...... Something happened slightly. "My brother's first kiss is dedicated to a man or something, and it's better not to say it.

Well, although I always feel that with Liz's style, I will keep teasing my brother about this in the future......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"- People from another world?" Granny Binak, who served the tea, exclaimed.

"You can also think of us as 'lost foreign tourists'~" Leaz, who was leaning back in his chair, looked at Binac carefully...... Although it is common sense that people get old and short, the height of this old woman is too mysterious.

"I've been to other countries when I'm young," said Binak, who was still a very unrestrained mechanical engineer when he was younger, "I've never heard of this kind of technology in other countries." ”

"...... times progress?"

"That's going too fast, if there really is a country that doesn't even need tools and equipment, and casually creates the body of the human body, then probably this country will disappear long ago." In the final analysis, Binak still has regular trips to the city, after all, he has to buy goods and ship to make money, not an old man who has been closed for decades," ...... If you think about it this way, no matter how unbelievable their words are, you can only believe them. ”

Liz smiled and said nothing, compared to Edward and Allai, they were just passers-by, and it didn't matter what passers-by thought.

"Even if it's someone from another world, I don't believe anyone would help someone for no reason......" Edward, Al, and Winley were not in the living room, and Binak opened his mouth to ask the question, "What do you want?" ”

"Didn't Al say that? "Alchemy". ”

"A man who can easily make something out of nothing will need "Alchemy" that adheres to the principle of "equivalent exchange"?" It is easy to understand that the weak desire for stronger power, but it is difficult for the strong to pursue weak power......

"You need to look at the problem from another perspective, old woman~~ Do you think my teammates are acting now?"

"............" The others also visited the Lockbell family's workshop under Wen Li's introduction, and when they saw the mechanical structure they didn't know, they opened their mouths to ask, and they were full of curiosity and didn't seem to be fake.

"That's it, you're using the same unfamiliar technology to us," Liz shrugged, "of course, I don't deny that with these two imps, there's something to be done expecting something interesting to happen." "It's just that it's not inevitable, at least Leeds can't guarantee it.

“…… Funny thing...... "Binac's heart somehow rose a man's name.

Even if 'they' don't need to find a way to recover their bodies, even if 'they' don't need to be national alchemists, as long as 'they' are sons of Hohenheim, the gears of fate will continue to turn. (To be continued.) )
