When Lisa walked into Mastan's office with a thick stack of documents, she found Mastan pressing his hand to his face, leaning back against his chair, relaxed, as if he was lazy to sleep.

Frowning, Lisa stepped forward and put the information in her arms on the table: "Okay! Don't be lazy! ”

"Pretty much the same." Mastan, covering his face, muttered a word.

But Lisa was confused when she heard this: "Almost the same? What is almost the same? ”

Removing the hand on his face, Mastan smiled bitterly: "Lisa, I'm wondering, are we leaving this country!" ”

"What did you find!" Lisa's figure froze instantly.

"What did you find?" The hand attached to his face instantly became forceful, and he grabbed his face fiercely, as if he would not know the pain: "I found despair!" ”

Stepping forward to break Mastan's hand, Lisa gently but forcefully rubbed his temples for him: "Are we experiencing less despair?" ”

Looking at Lisa, who had a serious and persistent expression in front of him, Mastan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes sharpened: "Yes! We have experienced no less despair! If I become president, maybe there's a chance for Lisa, and call John Hubke, Pleda, Kane Feeley, and Watt Farman in! ”

"Yes!"

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

After successfully connecting with Mastan, Liu Hong thought about it at home, and then prepared to pick up Edward and Alphons. You know, Edward and Alphonse still live in a hotel! Before, because they were busy, they almost couldn't see each other, and even if they did, they passed by in a hurry. And now, now that they have been found, Liu Hong naturally needs to pull them down to his own home. If nothing else, you can leave the cleaning to them, right?

"Are you still making trouble?" After inquiring with the guards on the street, Liu Hong walked to the residential area of the city under their guidance. There seems to have been an explosion over there, so Edward and Alphons, who suspect Isaac on the other side, hurried over after being alerted.

After arriving in the residential area, Liu Hong saw Edward and Alphonse at a glance, to be precise, Alphonse, his steel armor was so conspicuous that it was difficult to see it!

"Lieutenant Colonel Xiuz! I have something to report to you" When Liu Hong passed by a group of sergeants, he heard an unfamiliar but familiar name.

Looking around, it was indeed a man with glasses who looked like an uncle, listening to the soldier's report on his face with a serious expression.

"Hutz?" Liu Hong smiled, this is not a simple character! No, Liu Hong just stared at him for a while, and Xiuzi had already glanced at him! That scrutinizing gaze was so obvious to Liu Hong, who had been watching him!

"Liu Hong!" When Liu Hong observed Xiuz, Alphons, who was the height of most people, had already seen Liu Hong slowly approaching them, so he raised his hand and said hello.

Glancing at Xiuz who glanced over again, Liu Hong also raised his hand to say hello to Alphonse. Then he quickened his pace, and walked up to them in two steps of three: "Ed, I can't see your presence unless you step on top of your suitcase!" ”

"Liu Hong! You're here specifically to find fault, aren't you? Edward, who was still seriously bowing his head and thinking hard about what Isaac would think, instantly put down all his thoughts when he heard Liu Hong's words, and rushed to Liu Hong with mechanical armor, and shouted in a low voice.

Touching the stubble that had grown up after the chin was shaved clean, Liu Hong just looked at Ed's shoes thoughtfully, and made Edward suddenly have the urge to hammer him to death: "Don't do this! I saw that you all had nowhere to live, so I came and invited you to my house to rest! ”

"Thank you so much!" Alphonse interjected between Liu Hong and Edward, and said happily.

"Excuse me, are you an Fullmetal Alchemist?" A magnetic and cheerful voice came from the right. Edward and Alphonse turned around and saw that a man with the rank of lieutenant colonel was looking at Alphonse with a smile on his face and said, "Worthy of the Alchemist of Fullmetal, this armor, this novel dress"

It's Xiuz!

"No, no, no!" Alphonse interrupted Huz with a wave of his hand, then pointed at Edward to the side and said, "Fullmetal Alchemist is my brother Edward Elric!" I'm my brother Alphonse Elric! ”

"What? This is the Alchemist of Fullmetal! Xiuz looked at Edward a little stunned, and said a little incredulously.

Liu Hong on the side glanced at Edward a little funny, because at this time Edward was looking at Xiuzi with a gloomy face, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't say small!" Don't say small! Don't say small! Don't"

"I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Mas Süz! The rank is lieutenant colonel, nice to meet you! Xiuz walked up to Edward and held out his right hand.

Slightly stunned, but Edward reacted quickly, grabbed Xiuz's outstretched hand, and grinned: "Me too, it's nice to meet you!" Lieutenant Colonel Hutz. ”

"Because he didn't say you were short?" Liu Hong is dying!

Without making a sound, Edward twitched the corner of his mouth and turned around for an uppercut! It's a pity that Liu Hong dodged with a bias.

"Liu Hong!" Looking at Liu Hong, who took a few steps back and looked at him with a smile not far away, Edward felt that the anger in his heart was even greater.

"Liu Hong? Could it be that Your Excellency is the new Alchemist? Xiuzi on the side heard Edward's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Edward call Liu Hong, and then asked with a smile.

Ignoring Edward, who was looking at him with a frantic face, Liu Hong stepped forward and shook Xiuzi's outstretched hand lightly, and said with a smile: "Nice to meet you!" Lieutenant Colonel Xiuz! Your name is like thunder to me! ”

"Is Lieutenant Colonel Xiuz famous?" As a peacemaker again, Alphonse almost helplessly inserted himself in front of Edward, blocking his view of Liu Hong: "Ah! I'm sorry! Lieutenant Colonel Hutz"

"It's fine. It's okay. Xiuzi smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Liu Hong, and said with a brighter smile: "I didn't know I was so famous!" ”

"Don't you know that there are a lot of women in the military who talk about you? Especially your love for your wife and daughter! Liu Hong explained with a smile, and then smiled in Xiuzi's squinted gaze: "Especially when you often take out photos to show off your wife and daughter!" ”

"Oh! That's right! Edward seemed to suddenly think of something, and interrupted Liu Hong and Xiuzi: "Liu Hong, how old are you now?" ”

"It's almost 30. What's wrong? Liu Hong looked at Edward a little inexplicably. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Liu Hong is almost 36 years old now, because the time he travels through the world is also calculated as lifespan!

"No wonder your tone is a little strange!" Edward touched his chin, just like Liu Hong just now: "An uncle who is almost thirty doesn't have a girlfriend yet, and he sees a person of about the same age showing off his wife and children everywhere!" That's the mood! ”

Squinting at Liu Hong, who was looking at him with his chin at his chin for a moment, Edward suddenly grinned, "Mr. Xiuz, would you like me to take a look at your wife and daughter?" ”

"Of course!" Reaching into his arms, a photo was taken out of his arms by Xiuzi, and he said with a shy face: "How is it!" Pretty! Cute! ”

twitching the corners of his mouth, Liu Hong covered his face.

"Liu Hong, don't you want to come and see? Lady Graceia and Sister Alicia are so cute! After looking at the two people in the photo, Ed looked at Liu Hong, who looked like a defeated dog, with a mocking expression.

Pursing his lips, Liu Hong glared at Edward, stepped forward to look at the photo, and then said to Xiuzi with a smile: "Your lady and your daughter are very beautiful and cute!" ”

"Thank you for the compliment! I think Gretia and Alicia will be very happy! Xiuz accepted with a happy face.

But this kind of happiness, when Liu Hong saw Xiuzi, he thought not only of Xiuzi's IQ and ability, but also of his despair and unwillingness when he died!

Liu Hong took out a flying knife from his arms and handed it to Xiuzi: "Lieutenant Colonel Xiuzi, I don't have anything good to give you as a gift, only this flying knife to ward off evil spirits!" You know my identity, naturally you know where I am from, this flying knife has the blessing of our gods, although I don't know if you believe it or not, but I think it will still bring you luck! ”

"Ugh!" Looking at the flying knife with an unknown rune engraved on it handed over by Liu Hong, Xiuzi was slightly stunned, but still reached out and took it: "Thank you!" Mr. Liu Hong. ”

"It's said that this throwing knife is effective against youkai and the like, but you know, where in this world are youkai." Liu Hong spread out his hands and made a joke on Xiuzi.

But Liu Hong's serious eyes made Xiuzi feel a little puzzled in his heart, but since Liu Hong didn't want to say it in front of Edward, Xiuzi naturally wouldn't force it: "That's what I said!" Where in this world are there any monsters! But thank you very much for your throwing knives, it just so happens that I like to play with throwing knives and stuff like that. ”

Smiling, Liu Hong turned his head to look at Edward and Alphons: "You should go back with me, right?" It's almost night, so it's better to go back early. ”

"Oh!"

"It's good!"

Leading Edward and Alphonse towards him, Liu Hong still cast a meaningful look at Xiuz as he left, and then said something without a sound with his mouth.

For the next few days, Edward and Alphonse rested at Liu Hong's house, and during the day they went out to find Isaac. But like a tiger, Isaac hasn't moved at all in the past few days, and he doesn't have the uproar he had before!

However, Liu Hong and Edward don't need to worry too much about these things, because Mastan has already relieved Edward and Alphonse from dispatch!

In other words, it's time for Edward and Alphonse to go to Leor!
