Chapter Nineteen
Winley Rockbell, a girl who has been playing with Edward and Al since childhood, is an important existence equivalent to family for the Ellik brothers. Although Winley's parents died early in the civil strife in the country, she was not defeated by sadness. She still had a cheerful and lively personality at any time. She was a strong and gentle girl.
Perhaps it is related to the fact that the grandmother Binake, who is a "mechanical armor engineer", lives with her. Wen Li is quite enthusiastic about machinery-related knowledge, and even called Edward a "mechanical home girl" - after the incident four years ago, she took care of the repair and maintenance of Edward's mechanical prosthesis.
Recently, Wen Li seemed to realize that she liked Edward's intentions. Cough cough, even if she often smashed him with a wrench... Unfortunately, just now, Edward and Al had burned the house where they had lived for more than ten years, and decided to set out to find a way to retrieve their bodies. They didn't know when they would come back... No, maybe it was a question whether they could come back. Four years ago, four years ago, he saw Al, who had just become armor, came to his house with bloody Edward to ask for help. Wen Li knew very well that "Alchemy" was not a kind technique given to the world by God.
But she couldn't stop the Ellik brothers-
"Winley? Are you not going to sleep yet?" Grandmother Bi Nakk walked into the living room and worried about her granddaughter.
"Grandma... Is it still early?" Wen Li often debugged machinery at this time, and sometimes she even slept on the workbench with oil on her body and fell asleep. Even if she was pretty, she couldn't hide her job as an engineering woman.
"Let's go to bed a little earlier today..." Even Al could see that Wen Li liked Edward, let alone Bi Nake, who had a very rich life experience... Of course, even without this feeling, his concern for childhood sweethearts was heavy enough.
(Guoguku) The sound of knocking on the door came.
"Is it Ed and the others?" Wen Li hurriedly walked to open the door. Of course, she would not think that Edward and Al gave up as soon as they arrived at the train station. They even burned their house and had already made up their minds to burn their boats... But, besides them, Wen Li couldn't think of anyone visiting her at this point in time, and could only guess, 'Did something be left behind?'
Open the door, sure enough, it is...
"... Are you?" Although the name was about to burst out of his throat, Wenli swallowed it.
"Ahhaha...I'm Al, Wenli," Al, dressed in an adult dress that obviously doesn't match his figure, smiled bitterly, then lowered his head and asked Grandma Binake, who was smaller than him, "Grandma, our home is burned. Can you stay for one night?"
"...Indeed, this appearance is Alphons...but?" Binake looked at Al in surprise and found that he was faintly overlapping with the appearance of the youngest son of the Allink family in his impression. Daji used Edward's body as a template and then modified Al's photos when he was a child, which did not look like there was a ghost.
Wen Li rushed to ask: "But aren't you just going to the imperial capital, referring to "National Alchemist"? Why did you suddenly get your body back?"
"I met a noble person when I went out...is almost the same?" Al scratched his head and moved away.
Behind him were more than ten people whom Wen Li didn't know.
"Wow, listen to these two Doudings, you made this thing? Can we go in and see the workshop?" Leeds asked with Edward's former right arm raised.
"Ah! My mechanical armor!?" Wen Li could see her and grandma's work at a glance, and subconsciously wanted to get angry... But before the anger could rise, she immediately reacted, "It's hard, can you say that Ed's body is...?!"
"Huh?" Wen Li asked, Al was stunned, and hurriedly dragged his loose adult clothes back, and found Edward squatting on the ground at the end of the team, "Brother, let Wen Li look at your right arm and left leg?"
"Don't worry about me... let me be quiet..." Edward poured it to the side, like a salted fish.
"So, it's Ed..." Seeing Al still skeptical, after all, she was just armor not long ago, but when she saw Edward who was dressed exactly the same as before, Wen Li was finally relieved, "But, hasn't he retrieved his body? Why is it still like this?"
"Ahhhh... I want to die so much... My first time actually... I actually..." Covered my face.
"Uh... something happened a little bit." My brother gave his first kiss to a man, so it would be better to say it was better not to say it.
Well, although I always feel that with Leeds's style, I will continue to tease my brother with this in the future...

"——Man from another world?" said Grandma Binake, who presented tea.
"You can also treat us as 'lost foreign tourists'~" Leeds, who was sitting on the chair, looked at Binake carefully... Although it is common sense to become shorter, the old lady's height is too fantastic.
"I have been to other countries when I was young," Binaco was said to be a very unrestrained mechanical armor engineer when he was young. "But I have never heard of other countries having such technology."
“The times are moving…?”
"That's also progressing too fast. If a country really develops to the point where tools and equipment are not needed and the human body is created casually, then this country will probably disappear long ago." After all, Binake still goes to the city regularly. After all, it is not an old man who has been in hiding for decades. "...When thinking about it this way, no matter how unbelievable their words are, they can only believe it."
Leeds smiled but said nothing. Compared to Edward and Allai, they are just passers-by roles, and it doesn't matter what passers-by think.
"Even people in another world, I don't really believe that someone will help others for no reason..." Edward, Al and Wenli were not in the living room, and Binaco then mentioned this question, "What do you want?"
"Didn't Al say it? "Alchemy."
"Will a man who can easily make something out of nothing need to abide by the principle of "Equivalent Exchange"?" The weak desire stronger power, which is easy to understand. It is difficult for the strong to pursue weak power...
"You need to change your position and look at the problem, old lady~~ Do you think my teammates are acting now?"
"……………” Others also visited the Rockbell's workshop under the introduction of Wen Li. When they saw the mechanical structure they didn't recognize, they asked, and their curiosity was not like fake.
"That's the case. For us, you're using unfamiliar technology," Leeds shrugged. "Of course, I don't deny that following these two little guys, there is something to expect interesting things to happen." However, that is not an inevitable event, at least Leeds cannot guarantee it.
"...interesting thing..." Binake's name rose inexplicably.
