[Fullmetal Alchemist｜Steelmaking] Life Theory

"La--th--" Walking into the ground, Opalxi first dragged out her voice and shouted.Without getting a response, Ao Poxi lowered her head, walked helplessly, and shouted again: "Enwei...?"

"He's not here." A woman's voice came, and Opersey saw that Ruster was standing there with his arms folded.Opalxi walked over, Ruster stretched out his hand, and hugged her, Opalxi stumbled, didn't hug her back, and stretched out his hand to smooth Luster's hair.

"You don't seem to have much contact recently, did you quarrel?" Last asked, the skirt fell to the ground, and the folds receded like waves.Ao Poxi looked along the folds of her skirt without replying.Ruster was silent for a while, propping his chin, showing a somewhat helpless expression, and called out to Ao Poxi, who was distracted: "Ao Poxi?"

Opalxi slowly raised her eyes, looked at Rast, thought for a moment, and shook her head.Ruster rubbed his chin and seemed to be thinking about something. Opus kicked his legs and asked, "Where is Rus?"

"Huh? What's the matter with Lars?" Ruster propped his chin, looking interested.Opalxi waved his hand, and described the situation as if complaining: "The uncle pretended to smile at my friend's wedding and said to me: 'something happened, Lieutenant Colonel Opalxi, please help .', and pulled me out."

"This is really bad." Rusty nodded, agreeing to Opalxi's words.Afterwards, she raised her eyes slightly, the atmosphere changed, and Ruster asked in a low voice: "So, how is the investigation of the frozen matter?"

"No, he escaped very quickly." Opalxi shook her head and replied, lowering her head, pinching her nose, she thought of something, and continued: "Although it's just my guess, it's very likely that he ran to the new country."

Ruster paused and narrowed his eyes.new country.This country let Ruster chew on it, although he was not very worried, but he had to be careful about alchemy.After all, the fact that alchemy has been stopped since the founding of the country, can it be noticed at this moment.

Rast rubbed his fingers, lowered his head, thought for a while, and looked at Opalxi.Ao Poxi was looking around at this moment, but did not speak.Normally at such times, Enwei would go up to talk to Opal Xi, but at this time Enwei didn't know if he was hiding from Opal Xi, and hadn't looked for her for a long time.

Seeing Opexy's slightly lonely look, Rast got a little playful, stretched out his hand, and approached her.Putting his hand on the armrest of her chair, blocking her in front of his eyes, he asked, "Although Enwei is not here...but I am still here. Do you want me to play with you?"

Opalxi tilted her head, as if thinking of something, she stretched out her wristband out of Ruster's neck.Then he stood up, and with a strong hand, he pressed Rust to his knees on the ground.Ao Poxi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, approached Rust, and said seriously: "This is not fun, just live a good life."

Ruster paused for a moment, and Opalxi took the opportunity to stand up and leave as if fleeing.Rust stood up, looked at the back of Ao Poxi with some regrets, then touched his lips, and said slightly sadly: "It's really too much..."

-

Made myself a cake.

Opalxi looked at the big cake, cut it into several pieces, put it in the refrigerator, and decided to share it with Hughes, Roy and Lisa when they came next time.Hughes and Roy would occasionally come to her house together, and the two would occasionally protest why Opposite had no documents to do, and then Lisa would use God's Shot to shut Roy up.

Hearing the doorbell, Opersey paused, then turned to open the door.Carefully looking at the cat's eye, he found that it was Roy who was carrying Lisa. After feeling it seriously, Opus decided to pretend that he was not at home.

"Open the door, Opalxi, I heard your footsteps!" Roy knocked on the door again, Opalxi took a deep breath, and opened the door with a calm expression: "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

"Take refuge." Roy said seriously, and Lisa looked helpless and sighed.Before Opalxi could fully understand, Roy led Lisa in.Lisa nodded to Opalxi, expressing her apology for not being able to manage her boss well. Opalxi covered her face, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you want to eat cake?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Opalxi took out the cake, and then boiled some water to make tea for them.Roy was holding the fork, looking a little helpless with a headache. At this moment, the phone in Apoxi's room rang. Roy was startled, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

As soon as Opal was about to pick it up, Roy immediately shook his head and warned Opal: "No, Opal, stop. I advise you not to."

Opalxi frowned slightly, a little confused.Even Lisa nodded and whispered a word of persuasion.However, Ao Poxi answered the phone indifferently: "Hello? Who is it?"

"Hey, Opalxi, it's me, Hughes! I'm telling you!" Hughes' voice sounded very happy in his ears: "I'm going to have a baby!"

"Hmm... ah." Opalxi nodded, and understood why Roy and the others said not to answer the phone.As long as the matter of Gracia was involved, Hughes immediately began to talk more, and he talked a lot, but it was just long-winded, very long-winded.So when Hughes was about to continue talking, Opalxi said seriously first: "I will prepare a congratulatory gift some other day, thank you for letting me know."

After finishing speaking, the water just boiled, so Ao Poxi continued: "The water is boiling, I'll take care of it, and tell me about your child again."

After getting Hughes' consent, Opalxi hung up the phone, quickly went to make tea, and then delivered it.Roy looked at Opexy's calm look, and asked cautiously, "Aren't you being verbose?"

"I didn't get nagged, and I managed to avoid it. Are you satisfied?" Opalxi replied, and Roy covered his face, feeling that he was hurt by the differential treatment.Ao Po sat on the chair, thought for a while, and asked: "Speaking of which, it should be working time now, so you just came here, is it okay?"

Roy nodded, took a bite of the cake, and then explained to Opalxi: "I heard that there is an outstanding alchemist at Lisenberg, who is going to have a look, so it is not considered lazy .”

Opalxi curled her lips subconsciously, and understood Roy's meaning. Find an outstanding alchemist and make him a national alchemist?Ao Poxi took a sip of tea, remembered that Risenberg seemed a little familiar, but still sent a sentence: "Be careful on the road."

After finishing speaking, she said to Lisa again: "Is it possible for him to use this as a cover to sneak away from his busy schedule?"

Lisa thought for a while, and replied seriously: "If it is, I will 'shoot' him very seriously."

"My subordinates and colleagues think of me so much. I think my reputation is over?" Roy twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling indifferent, he covered his face to hide the non-existent tears.

After eating the cake, Roy and Lisa were about to leave. Before leaving, Roy took another look at Opus.Wearing very ordinary home clothes, his hair fell below the shoulder blades unknowingly. Roy looked at it and said to Opus: "It's long."

"Well, if there is still a war someday, it may have to be cut off again." Opalxi rubbed the end of her hair and said in a daze.Roy nodded and said goodbye to Opal Xi, who waved his hand and watched Roy leave.

Sighing, Ao Poxi looked at her hair and suddenly remembered that she had indeed not seen Enwei for a long time.Aupoxie pursed her lips and scratched in her heart. Aupoxie, who was not used to Enwei not coming over, lay on the sofa and didn't clear up the dishes on the dining table. She thought for a while and covered her stomach.

After a while, she got up again, rubbed her hair, and went to clean up the dining table.After thinking about what to have for dinner, Ao Poxi suddenly heard a very faint sound from the door: "Meow...".

She turned around and opened the door carefully, but didn't see any cats.Maybe it was scared away, or maybe it was an illusion, Opexy checked again, there was no cat, closed the door, and sighed.

I was too lazy to cook, so Ao Poxi looked through her wallet and found that there was not much money left, and she was too lazy to withdraw the money. After thinking for a while, Ao Poxi made a phone call.After explaining who he was and giving the password, the phone rang the presidential palace.

"Excuse me, Mr. President...Well, I have no money, can I go to your house for a meal?" Ao Poxi asked seriously, but the other side was silent for a while, and said helplessly and angrily: "Go get the grant yourself."

After finishing speaking, he thought of something again, and after a moment of silence, he continued to ask: "Is it reliable that Aizhak is going to Xinguo?"

Opalxi paused, and after thinking about it, he reported to the President: "The direction of escape is to the desert in the east. I think it is heading to Xinguo."

"Understood." The President nodded and hung up the phone.Ao Poxi looked at the silent microphone with some embarrassment, put the microphone down, Ao Poxi thought for a while, and decided not to be so lazy and cook by herself.

After eating, he heard a strange sound, and Opalxi looked out again.A small black shadow was sticking to the wall, and Ao Poxi looked at the black shadow, was silent for a while, and chose to ignore it and started washing the dishes.

The black shadow narrowed its eyes, and after a while, a voice came from inside: "You let Marco go."

It was an affirmative sentence, not an interrogative sentence, and Opalxi did not stop washing the dishes.Shadow quietly stretched into the room, and said again: "You let Marco go?"

It was a question sentence, so Opalxi raised her eyes and replied, "It's sort of."

"..." Shadow didn't speak, and seemed to have some voices.Ao Poxi put the bowl away, finally looked at the shadow, thought for a while, and asked with some displeasure: "I'm not an artificial human, so don't talk to me, go back to your mother, Pride. "

Having said this, Opalxi turned off the light in the kitchen, and the shadow had to retreat to the living room.It can be regarded as the artificial human who has known Opus the longest. Pride asked a little displeased: "Are you angry with me? I really miss it. The last time you were angry with me was 200 years ago."

"Not angry." Opus pouted, sitting on the sofa, shrinking her body.The black shadow swayed twice, suddenly noticed something, and slowly disappeared, and said to Ao Poxi: "Don't forget that you are now a national alchemist, do your job well."

"Little kid, go back to your mother's arms." Opalxi waved her hand, and this sentence made Pride swipe at her vase before leaving.Annoyed because of a little thing, I really don't have a heart.Ao Poxi thought about it, and tidied up the vase, suddenly feeling that there are so many guests at home today.

So, almost a year has passed since the Civil War...

Ao Poxi thought, lying on the bed, blinking.I checked again to see if there was anyone in the living room, but it turned out that there was no one, so Ao Poxi lay back on the bed with some disappointment.

She closed her eyes and was still asleep when she suddenly heard the sound of the window opening.Then Enwei's whining voice came in. He didn't sound very happy, and shouted at something: "What kind of cat is this!? When did you raise a cat!?"

Opalxi opened her eyes, looking at Enwei who was holding a somewhat dirty long-haired cat and standing on the window frame, she was a little dazed.Enwei had a little scratch on his body, but it recovered quickly. He threw the cat in and walked in.The cat took two steps in the room, and then sat briskly on Opalxi's quilt.

"...I don't have a cat." At this moment, Opal Xi stammered and said, looking at the long-haired cat that was sitting and looking proud, she was a little confused.Thinking of the meowing in the afternoon, I realized it might be this cat.Hearing what she said, Enwei stretched out his hand and grabbed the cat by the collar, and threw it out: "You didn't raise it, you said, throw——ah!!? Damn it! Are you trying to annoy my uncle with this cat! ?”

The cat scratched at Enwei's hand a few times, and after Enwei let go because of the pain, he ran directly behind Opexy and grinned at Enwei.Ao Poxi glanced at the cat, then at Enwei, and decided casually: "Okay, let's raise it."

"Ah!?" Enwei was slightly taken aback by the decision made by Opal Xi, and then he was a little hairy after being stared at by Opal Xi's blue eyes, and closed his mouth.Ao Poxi went out with the cat in her arms, and then came back, seeing Enwei sitting on her bed stupidly, she asked, "Do you want something to eat?"

"Ah, are you eating again? It's just right, I went to the country to find out if there is any leaked alchemy stuff, and I went to find traces of anti-government organizations with Gratney, I was exhausted." Enwei said , stood up, and then walked into the living room.Enwei, who thought that Opal Hey would punch him in the face, walked out of the living room, and Opal Hey took out the rest of the cake.

Enwei took the knife and fork and started to eat, looking a little greedy, so Ao Poxi also started to eat.After eating, Opalxi took Enwei to wash the dishes, Enwei complained while washing the dishes.

Afterwards, Ao Poxi went to brush her teeth again, staring at Hui Enwei, so Enwei brushed her teeth with a disposable toothbrush.The cat blinked, looked at Enwei, grinned again, and hid behind Opalxi with its tail up.

"What's the matter with this cat!?" Enwei looked at the cat with some irritability and said displeasedly.Ao Poxi picked up the cat, looked at it a little dirty, and decided to give it a bath tomorrow: "What should I call it..."

"You, you don't really want to have a cat, do you?" Enwei twitched his eyes, doubtful.Opal Xi nodded: "It's raised."

"...It's up to you." Enwei said, crossing his hands behind his head, a little displeased.Opalxi thought for a while and decided to call the cat 'bell' because the cat meowed at her door today.

Enwei made himself a bed on the sofa, lay down and said good night.Ao Poxi looked at Enwei and closed his eyes tightly, then looked closer, and put the cat on his stomach.Enwei opened his eyes, looked at the cat, and finally put it on the coffee table, and reached out his hand, casually touching the head of Ao Poxi who was beside him.

Ao Poxi touched her head, then glanced at Enwei, and went back to the room.

She looked at the ceiling, touched her heart, and felt relieved for some reason.
