Colonel Roy Mustang was helpless.

He is an outstanding student who graduated from a military academy, and a national alchemist who enjoys special treatment. He is young and heroic. He has just returned from the battlefield of Ishbal recently and got the rank of colonel. He is an elite among the elite.However, this high-spirited elite has just embarked on the road to promotion that can realize his dream, when an unexpectedly huge obstacle falls from the sky and almost hits his head.

That "meteorite" is naturally his colleague, the colleague who needs to carry out a task together, the mysterious Colonel Saiqi.

The word "mysterious" is definitely the most obvious label on Colonel Saiqi.

The surname is ominous, and the name "Sage" is more like a simple code name.The origin is ominous, and the internal information database of the military department cannot find any information about Colonel Sai Qi. This person's identity verification seems to appear in the list of non-commissioned officers out of thin air.Only a small number of people know that Colonel Sai Qi exists, and Roy is one of them, but he doesn't feel lucky, and only secretly has deep fears.

Being able to hide the information so deeply shows that Sai Qi's true identity is extraordinary, at least it shows that there is a powerful military force behind him.

Of course, aside from the background, Sage's mystery is also reflected in the person himself.

——Tough.

During this mission, Roy saw Sai Qi make a move with his own eyes.Unimaginable strength and unbelievably fast speed. It should not be the method of an alchemist, but Roy has no idea what it is. He can only express the shocking feeling when he saw that scene for the first time. learn by heart.

--indifferent.

If you really want to say it, indifference should be a very common character factor in human groups, and there are quite a few people who are unsmiling.But what those people showed was not the same kind as what Roy felt from his colleagues.

When they first met, for a moment, Roy suspected that Sage was not human.

In this young colonel, the so-called indifference is more than "serious".If the soul is the flame that remains in the heart of a person, with a certain temperature, then Sage's soul does not have that temperature.

Most notably his eyes.I can't believe that anyone can look directly at those purple eyes for the first time. The coldness in the eyes of the other party seems to be immersed in the bones. There is also no temperature, and no original color of things can be projected into those eyes. the depths of the eye.It's not that Sage didn't talk to them during the mission, but that's only because brief communication is an unavoidable procedure. After the procedure is over, the mission also ends.

A person like Sage—— Roy pondered in his heart, thinking that there should be nothing in this world that could make that Sage care about, or in other words, whether he has a heart or not is a question.

That was why Roy was so surprised when Sage agreed to take the detour to Lisenberg with them.

"I have a hunch," said the prescient Colonel Mustang secretly to his lieutenant, "that's not Sage's style. Did he wait ten minutes in silence before agreeing, and when he did, did his face A little more expression? Am I right, Lisa?"

The deputy lady replied calmly: "Unfortunately, you were wrong. Colonel Saiqi's expression has not changed."

However, there seems to be a slight change—it cannot be seen with the naked eye, but it can be captured from the intuition of illusory women.Since intuition is not evidence that can be used as a basis, Lieutenant Hawkeye did not report it, but only said: "Since Colonel Saiqi agreed, isn't it just in line with your original intention, Colonel?"

Roy: "..." He was actually just a polite invitation, thinking that Colonel Sage would refuse without hesitation.

This kind of hidden content must not be known to Lieutenant Hawkeye, so Colonel Mustang raised his vigilance and took his deputy and colleagues to the home of the former military doctor and his wife in Lisenberg.

Everything was fine until the campfire started.

However, soon, something abnormal happened right under their noses.

Roy was greeting the enthusiastic people, and he just said a few words, and when he turned his head, he saw Colonel Sage, who had a lifeless field within one meter, walked to the bonfire as if no one was there.The flames above the firewood racks that were stacked half a meter high were half a head shorter due to this aura, but the young man who was confronted by Colonel Sai Qi boldly stood still.

Noticing this, Colonel Mustang's brows twitched, suddenly realizing that his bad premonition had come true.

Then, Colonel Saiqi, who was not allowed to enter, stood in front of the boy for a long time, but he still did not move. The bonfire that had degenerated into a pitiful little flame was finally overwhelmed, and it extinguished itself in panic, leaving only one Long streams of black smoke shot straight into the sky.

Then, Colonel Sage decided to stay in Lisenberg.

Roy didn't know the reason, because Sage never thought about telling him that he didn't intend to leave, nor did he think about the consequences of not going back to report the mission.Even Roy couldn't find a chance to speak privately with the boy who was approached by Sage—it was at this moment that he caught the disgust from Sage.

What's going on here.

It was simply against common sense, why did you hate it so suddenly?

The innocent Colonel Mustang is still scratching his head.

Ok……

——About Colonel Mustang's doubts, Bai said that he could roughly guess the reason.

It is not Roy Mustang himself who is hated, but "Fire".It was only because Roy's nickname was the Alchemist of Flame, who was best at manipulating flames, that he suffered tragically.

As for why he hates fire, Bai seems to be able to guess one thing: he was still implicated, and the real "culprit" was a certain red king who could also control flames in his previous life. At that time, Saiki Kusuo's consciousness was attached to the red king. , indirectly saw the death of Shishubai.

"Why didn't I see it before, it's really stingy..."

He sighed a little.

Speaking of which, time goes back to the bonfire night last night.

At that time, many people were looking at them, and they couldn't help being surprised and curious.However, they, who were at the focus of their sight, blocked the eyes of the people around them, as if they were not aware of it.

This "Sai Qi", who has amnesia and lack of emotion, seems to have the problem of you saying a sentence before you can answer it. After Bai deliberately asked "Do you want to eat?" After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth——

"It's you."

His gaze without any ripples fell on the young man's left foot hidden in the shadow at some point, and that position was exactly where he pierced it with his own hands not long ago.

Did he recognize him?Or just recognize that this young man who has no resistance, timidity or other emotions in the first reaction of others when facing him is the intruder who broke into the institute many times.

But—but, it doesn't matter whether it's the former or the latter.

"What do you want to do?"

White question.

The officer just bent his knees and half knelt on the ground in front of him.His face was still indifferent, but it was not obvious, and there was something different about him.

He slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed the boy's ankle, squeezing the blood out again with uncontrollable force, and the bandage that had not been put on for a long time gradually turned bright red.However, even so, Bai just raised his eyebrows slightly indifferently, and moved the corners of his mouth slightly.

"A voice told me it should be done."

Sai Qi said lightly.

The flow of blood has stagnated.

The pain became lighter and lighter, and finally turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared completely.

For him, the wound that was almost impossible to heal was stitched up quietly.

Bai was not very surprised, on the contrary, he felt a sense of "as expected".

He looked down and finally tasted the joy in his heart, but he didn't want to show it for the time being.

"Well, it's not bad—will you stay?"

The reply was very succinct.

"Ah."

Colonel Sage from Central City stayed in Lissenburg and successfully borrowed at Elric's house.
