[Comprehensive] Demon Fox Hiding Horse

Meeting such a person in such a place, who he had least expected to meet here, Ed couldn't help feeling a little bit surprised.

Especially the fact that the other party, as the adjutant of the Colonel, actually acted together with Scar, made the young fullmetal alchemist have to think a little more, so the expression on his face changed from the initial shock and joy to I am now thinking deeply.

"How will you be here?!"

——This sentence immediately took on a certain questioning meaning.

However, the red-haired young adjutant didn't seem to care about Ed's doubts.

"It's no wonder the Colonel always complains, 'Steel refining that little devil's practice is too reckless and thoughtless'."

As if not noticing that Ed and Al were being pinned down one by one by the paws of the android Envi, who had transformed into a giant green lizard, the demon fox raised the corners of his lips, his tone and expression They have unified a word called "easy" from the inside to the outside.

——I saw a vein throbbing on Ed's forehead.

However, the words full of ridicule in the other party's mouth were not hindered by Ed's dissatisfied stare: "It seems that such an evaluation really did not wrong you at all, Mr. Edward."

"Running to such a dangerous place alone... If something happens, what are you going to do?"

Sighing, the red-haired young officer's tone was full of helplessness and tolerance, as if he had taught a disobedient child to sneak out.

The "antenna" erected above Ed's head was so strong that it was about to become a steel knife!

"Hun Dan! Don't treat me like a child! That's why I hate Da Zuo the most!"

After roaring furiously, Ed, who realized that he was easily irritated by the other party's understatement, glared angrily at the red-haired visitor. Some of the original concerns in his heart were also because of this Vented and subsided quite a bit—

In any case, this person is the adjutant selected by the Colonel.

He believed that a man like Colonel would never easily trust a dubious guy, entrusting the same trust to Lieutenant Lisa Hawkeye at will.

So what he has to do now is not to investigate the reason why this person appeared here with Scar, but...

"How about it, Captain Kurama? Do you want to... join us for a fight?"

Taking a deep breath, the original appearance of fried hair faded instantly, Ed raised the corners of his lips, and the smile on his face suddenly became dazzling and full of fighting spirit.

However, the red-haired adjutant's next words instantly brought him back to his original form...

"Joint together? Are you with Edward, who is temporarily unable to use alchemy?"

A bunch of dull hairs on the top of his head bent down instantly, and Edward fell powerlessly to the ground——

"Captain, I said you..."

Can you not learn from that black big Zuo and always do such annoying things?

And looking at someone who was knocked to the ground in an instant, Kurama smiled faintly, and was satisfied to find that the last trace of tension and stiffness had disappeared from the other person, so he took it easy again. Opened: "Okay, the joke time is over."

"... Hun Dan, so you were playing with me before?!!!"

"Yes...cough! Don't make trouble, Mr. Edward! Listen to me honestly."

"I don't want to listen to you, you big-bellied black-bellied person with the same bad taste as the chief!"

"Hello..."

This is really unfair!When it comes to bad tastes, he is no match for the Colonel.

Yaohu felt wronged for himself in his heart.

But before he could say anything else, the little girl Zhang Mei, who was so happy to be reunited with Xiaomei, suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "Brother Zangma."

"Huh? What's wrong with Mei?"

Zangma lowered his head, only to realize that there seemed to be something wrong with the little girl's aura.

As a result, the next moment, the girl who raised her head had a look of grief and indignation on her chubby cute little face...

"Could that rice-grain man be Lord Edward Elric of the National Alchemist? Mei doesn't believe it! I don't believe it!"

Obviously she thought the other party would be a tall, handsome, gentle and knowledgeable blond handsome man!But what's going on with this dwarf now?what happened!

The heart of the girl who longed for Prince Charming was broken in an instant. With Edward's dissatisfied roar of "Who are you saying is a rice-grain boy, you rice-grain girl!", a huge stone fist was suddenly released by the girl angrily using alchemy , while knocking Edward into the air in one fell swoop, it also allowed the two brothers Elric to break free from Envi's shackles!

Kurama looked at the chaotic scene in front of him dumbfounded, took two steps back, and swallowed the plan he hadn't been able to say before——

Ok.

It seems that the strong inertia of the plot still allows the follow-up development to run on the original track, and here... it seems that there is no room for him to make a move.

Thinking this way, Yaohu simply retreated to a corner without using any special power, but used firearms to support Ska from a distance like a real soldier, until the last few people retreated while fighting and entered the passage again.

When the synthetic beast and two man-made humans were trapped in the narrow underground passage, Zangma opened fire and together with Scar caused a small-scale explosion in the passage, and then he and Scar worked with the Alphonse separates his actions, and finally in this huge underground labyrinth, together with Scar, he finds Dr. Mark who is imprisoned in a room by artificial people.

In the room, Ska pretended that Dr. Mark was killed by him because he avenged the clansmen who died in the Ishbal annihilation battle, and then he and Zangma took Dr. Mark in the complicated and dark passage After running for a long time, I finally found the exit to the ground.

However, just as soon as the three of them confirmed their safety, Scar had already left Dr. Mark behind, turned his head and looked fiercely at Zangma——

"Fullmetal Alchemist says you are the lieutenant of 'The Chief'."

He said solemnly.

"Is this 'Master' referring to the fellow national alchemist, the 'Alchemist of Flame' Roy Mustangu?"

Kurama met his resentful eyes without hesitation:

"Yes."

The white-haired and red-eyed Ishbal survivor squeezed his lips tightly.

He knew about the intersection between Mei and the boy in front of him.

At first, he thought that the other party approached Mei for some other purpose, either to find his trace or to use the magical alchemy that Mei had mastered that could be activated remotely.

However, as time passed, the other party had no intention of taking any action at all.

It seems that he really found Mei as he said before, looking for a playmate for his little white ball-like animal, which made Scar's vigilance towards him much lower.

But don't want to...

The other party turned out to be someone from the military department.

Moreover, it was Roy Mustangu's adjutant.

—that Roy Mustangu!

Roy Mustangu, who slaughtered an unknown number of his people in the battle of Ishbal!

Although he had just heard the truth about the battle of Ishbal from the fullmetal alchemist in the giant underground room, Scar would never easily forgive Amis, who caused a massacre after the war started. Tellis Military!

Among the so-called "Ishbal Heroes" who are especially unforgivable, Roy Mustang undoubtedly occupies the most important position.

So at this moment, Scar really didn't know how he would treat the young man in front of him—Mei's friend, but also Roy Mustangu's adjutant.

Kurama watched the heavy expression on Scar's face and sighed silently.

"I am indeed Colonel Mustangu's adjutant."

He took a step back and raised his hands to show that he was not hostile:

"But I don't want to do anything excessive to you or May."

"Knowing Mei was really just an accident. Although I also got to know you because of her trust, I never thought of reporting to the boss or arresting you in exchange for merit..."

"Ska, what's wrong with this country."

"I'm aware of this, and so is Colonel."

"The only thing we want to do now is to find out this problem and solve it."

"Others... Do you think it's really that important?"

The demon fox with the MAX skill of mouth cannon said these words of "righteous words" without babbling at all, and gradually, the expression on the face of the Ishbal survivors on the opposite side really eased a little bit .

"...I can trust you for a while."

He finally responded like this.

"Because next... Mei will ask you to."

"……Well?"

Surprised by the other party's sudden solemn tone, Kurama raised his eyebrows, not understanding what Scar's so-called "please" refers to.

But soon, when Mei returned to the place where she and Scar were hiding together with the help of the Elric brothers, and Scar also revealed his next plan, Cangma understood the so-called "please... "What exactly do you mean—

In Scar's plan, he and May will divide the army into two groups.

Scar brought a mustache named Jockey to attract the attention of the military, and under their cover, Zangma took Mei and Dr. Mark to the north to find the alchemy research left by Scar's brother. notes.

This is called "please".

Because Zangma has "escaped" from the Central Military Headquarters, so naturally he can't go back to Roy's side, and he has nothing to do for a while. In addition, Mokona and Xiaomei get along very well, and Zangma himself likes Mei very much. Cute little girl, so she agreed to Scar without much consideration.

Afterwards, all kinds of preparations were quickly made, and Yaohu took Mei and Dr. Mark on board the train bound for the north of the country.

***

Unlike the central part where the climate is still in the warm season, the north of Amistris is shrouded in ice and snow all year round.

The howling cold wind swirls across the cheeks, often bringing a burst of fresh air full of cold and dry breath, and at the same time, it also makes the fragile face feel a knife-like pain, as if It is implying the sturdy folk customs of this area and the survival principle of the jungle.

And the scenery that came into view after getting off the bus was covered by a sheet of white snow, showing a different kind of pure white beauty. This is in the city where the three of Zangma and the others left the station, according to what Ska left After the map went deep into the mountainous area, it became more obvious. Mei, who had become a little depressed because Scar had warned her not to pursue the Philosopher's Stone, gave a surprise admiration, and at the same time, she became much more energetic. .

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dr. Mark, who had gotten along well with Mei because of traveling together, finally made up his mind and asked Mei the reason why she wanted to pursue the Philosopher's Stone.

"Because His Majesty the Emperor wants to achieve the state of 'immortality and immortality'."

Sitting with her knees folded in front of the burning fire, Mei lowered her eyes and whispered.

And if this method can be found, the first prince or princess presented to the emperor of the country where she is located - the "Xin Kingdom" will become the next person to inherit the throne of the Xin Kingdom.

In this way, you don't have to worry about whether your family will be eradicated by the new enthroned emperor, and you can protect your important family!

The little girl's eyes became more and more determined as she spoke.

"So I want to pursue immortality, and I want to dedicate that method to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Because in that case..."

In that case, her important clan would no longer have to worry about being wiped out...

There was a burst of warmth in the eye sockets, and the originally agitated mood was also calmed down by the warm voice that suddenly sounded in the ear.

Mei closed her eyes, and heard that gentle man softly comforting her ears.

He says……

"Mei, in this world... there is no one who is immortal."

—That’s right, [this] world.
