What made you have the illusion that I am the protagonist! ?

"Grandma, I want to be a national alchemist."

After the two military guests left, Edward put forward his ideas to Granny Binak.

The arrival of Lieutenant Commander Mustang gave Edward a goal.

——Problems caused by alchemy must be solved by alchemy in the end.

To become a national alchemist, you can get high research fees funded by the state every year, access to special documents and many other privileges. Of course, there are gains and losses. Order.

With the help of a series of conveniences brought by this identity, Edward can go further in alchemy, allowing him to find a way to get back Alphonse's body and his hands and feet from "truth".

With this goal, he ignited his fighting spirit and no longer escaped in his own world like before. However, for him, the first priority is——

"So, please allow my hands and feet to move freely, I will undergo mechanical armor surgery."

Mechanical armor technology has long existed in this war-torn country.

The technology was originally developed for soldiers who lost their hands and feet during the war, and it was quickly applied to civilians. But even now that this technology is well developed, not everyone who has lost their hands and feet is willing to do it.

First of all, in order to achieve the effect of using fingers and arms, the mechanical armor surgery needs to re-cut the long wound and connect the mechanical armor connection port to the original nerve. Many rejection reactions, even if you survive the rejection reaction, after going through a long and painful rehabilitation process that can take five years at a time, a year or two in a short time, and an average of about three years, every time it is rainy, the nerves will be overwhelmed. The rebuttal position will still be painful.

Secondly, as a major military country, in Amistoris, the low-level replacement of mechanical armor-prosthetic technology is also very developed. Although in terms of flexibility, the prosthetic is far inferior to mechanical armor, but it eliminates the need to install mechanical armor. Pain, and just to carry on ordinary life, having a prosthetic is enough.

"Ed, you really don't regret it?"

"Yes, I have decided."

Granny Binako didn't say anything more. After confirming Edward's determination, she turned around and started preparing for the mechanical armor connection operation.

Everything was ready-made. That afternoon, Edward was pushed into the operating room of Rockbell's house. Granny Binak was the only doctor in Lisable and also a mechanical armor installer, so she knew very well that the sooner this operation is performed, the better it will be. Well, after a long time, the nerves in the affected area will gradually shrink, and it will be impossible to do what you want to do.

The only good news is that, precisely because Edward is still a developing boy, he heals and grows at an amazing rate, compared with an adult, the rejection reaction and pain after surgery will probably be somewhat less.

With the life experience of Binaco's mother-in-law, the operation was very successful. Edward, who was pushed out of the operating room, also stretched out his intact left hand to Alvonsby who was waiting outside.

After explaining to Fumi a lot of "things that Ed can't eat now", Granny Binako, who was highly concentrated and then suddenly relaxed, lay down with Wen Li, who was the assistant before.

……

"Woo-ah-"

In the middle of the night, Toya, who got up to drink water, was not surprised to hear muffled groans coming from the room of Brother Elric when he passed the corridor.

After the anesthesia given during the operation in the afternoon wore off, this was the time when Edward was in the most pain, but using too much anesthetic would damage the body's reactions and nerves, so he had to endure it.

This kind of pain is different from the pain of losing limbs before. After the connection of the mechanical armor is connected to the nerve, it is like a foreign object poking on the nerve all the time. It hurts very much when you move it. Even if you lie still, it is only slightly better. , Occasional muscle tremors still affect the nerves.

For this kind of pain, the only way is to get used to it, let the nerves and the body gradually get used to the connecting port until it is regarded as a part of the body.

Fuyuya was a little worried about Edward's situation, and when he crossed the corner of the corridor, he found a black shadow standing at the door of the two brothers.

After identifying it with the moonlight from the window, Fuyuya said, "Al...?"

"Mr. Toya?" The huge armor sitting at the door raised his head when he heard his voice.

"Why are you here, don't you sleep? Could it be that Ed's voice is too loud?"

Alphonse shook his head, "No, it seems that since I changed into this body, I can't sleep anymore."

That's right, it would be strange if Jiajia wanted to sleep, but probably he was just like this usually, sitting alone in the corridor at night until dawn, so no one noticed this.

Fuyumi walked over, imitated his posture, and sat on the floor with his back against the wall, "Then why don't you go in?"

There were a lot of things to say, because he was afraid that Wen Li and her mother-in-law would be worried, just like he didn't have to sleep, he didn't dare to tell them, but he could say what he said to Mr. Toya, Alphonse hesitated, "Brother will So much pain, half of it is because of me... If it's just the loss of a foot, maybe..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a knock on the head. To be precise, it was Touma who hit his head armor with a knife in his hand. The hollow metal collided with the human limbs, making a "dang" sound.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even though you disappeared at that time, I could see it clearly."

Fuyuya closed her eyes, recalling the time when Edward first came to this world, shouting with determination and hysteria.

[Give him back to me!He is my younger brother... No matter feet or hands, or my heart!I am willing to give you everything!so!Give him back to me!He is my only brother! 】

"Al, don't underestimate yourself. Every brother wants to show the best side in front of his younger siblings, not to mention Ed has a very thin skin...he will probably never say this to you-but, I can Guaranteed by my existence, you are his most important younger brother, there is no doubt about it!" Dongya also guaranteed as an older brother.

After speaking, he stood up, rubbed Alphonse's metal head with a smile, although it had no body, it contained the young heart of a 10-year-old boy, usually this armor was much taller than him , it is really rare to have such an opportunity.

After being silent for a while, Alphonse asked: "...Mr. Toya, do the androids even understand this?"

Feeling guilty, Dongmi quickly changed the subject, "Ahahaha... don't care about these details, okay, I'll go in and see Ed."

Sure enough, when he heard his brother's name, his good brother Alphonse immediately put all his sentimentality and doubts behind him, "...wait a minute, Mr. Toya, I'll go too."
