me and my vest

After creating the image of himself as a genius alchemist who violated taboos for his younger brother, because of the same identity and the same experience, Shili naturally got closer and closer to Edward Elric.

Now that the biggest secret has been revealed, Edward relaxes, and in a short period of time, he and Shi Li have developed into friends who talk about everything.

He was very proud of his social skills, and even called Wen Li to show off.

Wen Li, Edward and Alphonse were childhood sweethearts, and they grew up together. After the two of them encountered an accident, their relationship with each other became even closer.

In order to be able to help them, she even taught herself mechanics. Edward's mechanical prosthesis was made by this girl herself.

Lisable's country house.

"You said you've made good friends?" Wen Li stopped what she was doing, and held up a wrench with suspicion on her face. "With your broken personality, is there anyone else besides me and Al who can bear it?"

Edward's roar quickly came from the other end of the phone, "What, what! You are a violent woman, you are the one that no one will like, right?"

"That's right. Edward, you are short and short-tempered, just like a bad-tempered... pea." Wen Li came up with an apt metaphor.

The dwarf figure turned into a knife and stabbed hard into Edward's heart.

"Eh? Eh? Nissan, why did you become gray and white?" Alphonse held Edward's shoulders in horror, "Cheer up, Nissan, you are not short at all!"

Wen Li reached out to wipe off the engine oil that accidentally splashed on her face, "So let me tell you, Al, you must keep a close eye on Edward, and you must not let him do something rude."

"Well, but Mr. Shili is really a good person." Edward was hit and temporarily lost his ability to move, and Alphonse picked up the receiver instead of him.

"Wen Li, after saying goodbye to you at the train station a few days ago, we met him for the first time on that train, but we were not very familiar with him at that time." Alphonse said, "Mr. Gentle, and has a lot in common with Nissan."

"Is he also an alchemist?" Wen Li asked.

"Well, he is a very powerful alchemist, very talented." Alphonse recalled the alchemy that Ritsu had used in the past few days, "but he didn't participate in the national alchemist assessment, probably because he didn't want to do it for him. Work in the military."

"sounds good."

Although Wen Li said things that disliked Edward, the relationship between them was like family, and of course he was very happy that he had made friends.

"Speaking of assessment, isn't this year's National Alchemist Examination Day approaching?"

Wen Li wasn't worried about whether Edward could pass or not. His talent was there. She was just worried that Edward would forget the exam.

"Al, remember to take him to participate."

"I see. I'll remember."

"What are you talking about?" Edward recovered from the shock called height, "I remember the Judgment Day myself!"

"Yeah, we know." The two replied to Edward perfunctorily.

"I really do remember!"

"Yeah, Nissan Edward, you remember."

"..."

"That's it, Wen Li, we will go back to see you in a few days."

"Okay, I've got work to do, bye Al."

"Goodbye."

Alphonse put down the receiver and looked at Edward, who was slumped on the sofa and sulking.

"Nissan, don't be angry. Didn't you promise Colonel Roy Mustang to bring Mr. Shilu to meet him?"

"Yeah." Edward nodded, "That idiot boss said that he really wanted to meet a genius alchemist or something, but he still doesn't trust me to make friends."

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Shilu also agreed." Alphonse said, "He doesn't care about these things, he said he also wants to meet the elders who take care of us."

"Huh? He's not an elder at all, he's super unreliable!" Edward tiptoed to get off the windbreaker on the hanger with a look of disgust, and put it on casually, "Let's go, let's go find Shilu. "

As soon as the two stepped out of the hotel gate, they saw Shi Li standing on the side of the street with his back to them. He seemed to be feeding a pigeon.

"Shili! You came so early." Edward ran over to him.

The young man turned around, looked at him and smiled, then raised his hand and let the snow-white pigeon go.

The pigeon slapped its wings, flew up, dropped one or two white feathers, and then quickly disappeared into the sky.

"Well, there's nothing to do today."

"Then let's go to the Colonel now. Let me tell you, he is a very unreliable person, so you don't need to respect him too much."

"Nissan..."

"It's the truth, the truth."

--------------------------

"Boss, today's task..." Lisa Hawkeye pushed the door open and came in, but unexpectedly found that today's office is very tidy. Tea up.

The curtains were also pulled open and bundled into a bundle. The sunlight outside the window shone in generously, making the whole room very bright.

This is usually done when there are guests.

"Is there any chief of the military department coming?" Lisa Hawkeye asked.

Da Zuo's ambition is to become the president of this country, and he has been working hard for this goal. He has gathered a group of companions who are attracted by his personality charm and belief, and in order to do better, he invites some colleagues to be guests. It's also common.

"No, not from the military department." Roy Mustang replied, "It's the friends of Steel who are coming."

"Edward?" Lisa Hawkeye was a little puzzled, "Why did you invite his friends?"

"That's also an alchemist, Gang said that his level is not inferior to his own."

"In this way, has it reached the national level?"

"Yeah." Roy Mustang nodded solemnly, "Gang and he quickly got acquainted, and they seem to have a good relationship."

"..."

Lisa Hawkeye understood that it was his strong sense of responsibility that had begun to flare up again. Both Edward and Alphonse were still young, and it was because of Roy Mustang's suggestion that they obtained the National Alchemist Qualification Certificate. Subconsciously, I think I am responsible for these two children.

"You don't have to worry about being like this, do you?" Lisa Hawkeye said helplessly.

"That's not true, friends are normal, but I have seen that man named Shi Li from a distance, and one of his eyes is wrapped with a bandage."

"...you mean."

"Well, that's right, he doesn't look like he participated in the war, and I didn't find his service information in the military department. This kind of injury is not easy to cause in life." Roy Mustang said, he put his hands together They crossed each other and propped their chins, "I suspect it's because of alchemy."

"Human body made?" Lisa Hawkeye asked softly.

"Ah, that's right. That guy Steel still has basic vigilance. I think it's probably because of this reason that he was able to get acquainted with that person quickly."

"If it is true, it is a good thing. He has found a true like-minded companion."

"So I'll see you anyway."

After discussing this issue, the two stopped talking. Lisa Hawkeye naturally stood behind Roy Mustang, and he naturally read a report.

Although the atmosphere was quiet, it was neither awkward nor abrupt. They had long been used to each other's company.

"Dong dong dong."

"Hey! Colonel, here we come!"

Lisa Hawkeye walked over to open the door, she was also very curious about the man named Shi Li.

The young man who walked in behind Edward and Alphonse was undoubtedly Shilu. His name sounded like he belonged to the new country, and his appearance was indeed like that of the eastern country.

He has black hair and black eyes, looks very gentle, and has a dignified manner. There is indeed a bandage on the left eye.

All in all, a woman's sixth sense and a soldier's keen intuition told Lisa Hawkeye that there was no need to be wary of him.

"Hello, Colonel Roy Mustang, my name is Shi Li, nice to meet you." The young man stretched out a hand.

"... Steel, how could you make such a friend?" Roy Mustang shook hands with him and looked at Edward in shock. "It's strange that such a polite person wants to be your friend."

"what?"

"Oh, no, Edward is a fine boy, and it was a great honor to have his company."

The shocked expression on Roy Mustang's face was even more obvious.

"...you idiot Colonel!!!"

Edward, who was a little moved at first, was about to explode now. He actually thought that this man was not bad, and he was simply flooded into his head, right?

Alphonse immediately moved to hug his brother and dragged him out of the room, for fear that he would use alchemy in the military department on impulse.

"He actually didn't mean that, Nisan, please calm down..."

"Damn it, this bastard, does he look down on me? How dare he call me short!"

"Nobody said you were short, Nissan."

"What? Al, you think I'm short too?"

"Huh? No, no, I don't have one."

The Colonel over there has already invited Shi Yul to sit down.

"Although I don't regard Gang as a child, he is indeed immature. I hope you can tolerate him more."

"Of course, I'm not joking. It's my honor to be friends with Edward." Shi Li smiled gently, "And this kid is very persevering. I've decided to help him."

"...you mean?"

"Experienced alchemists will be able to quickly figure out the matter about Alphonse after a few more contacts."

Roy Mustang listened to his words and gradually confirmed his guess.

"When I was a child, I did the same thing wrong. Maybe it was because I was so lucky that I didn't have much loss. Now that I see them like this, I really want to help."

"what……"

At this moment, Roy Mustang didn't know what to say. How much grief it would take for an alchemist who advocated the principle of equivalent exchange to violate taboos. This kind of thing can't be comforted at all.

"In short, don't worry. Although I haven't been admitted as a national alchemist, I'm not someone who would rebel against the government. It's my personal wish to help Edward, that's all."

"I understand."

After a long conversation, Shilu seemed to be able to hear prompts such as Roy Mustang's vigilance level -1 every few minutes, and his attitude did ease.

"I'll bother you today, I..." Da Zuo just got up to see off the guests, but was interrupted by a voice from the door.

"President?" It was Edward's voice.

"Ah, it's Fullmetal Alchemist, you can come in too." An adult male's voice sounded a little deep, with a tone unique to older people, "I have something to ask you. "

"Oh, okay." Edward and Alphonse followed obediently.

"This is?"

The President has already stepped into the room. He is wearing a blue military uniform, black eyepatch, and a sword hanging on his belt. It is said that he is 60 years old, but his back is still straight and his spirit is good. scary.

No one dared to underestimate him because of his age. The president named Kim Bradley earned his status by fighting on the battlefield.

"Your Excellency, President, I am Shi Lu, an alchemist." Shi Lu introduced himself unhurriedly, and sooner or later they will face each other, "Since there are internal tasks, I will leave first. .”

"No, no need." The President kindly stopped Shi Li, but no one knew what he was thinking, "Since you are also an alchemist, let's listen."

"Recently, the prisoner who hunted and killed national alchemists has started to move again. One of you is a fullmetal alchemist and the other is a flame alchemist. Be careful. I will also increase the number of soldiers I can call. "

"Of course, it would be even better if the prisoner could be captured when attacked."

"Yes, I know." Roy Mustang responded seriously.

After the big president said these things, he resumed his smiling expression, "Just do your best, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

When passing by Shi Li, his pace stopped for a while, and then he continued to move forward.

Shi Li didn't change his face and let him bypass the most vulnerable area.

"Crack" sound.

The door is closed.

Following the greetings of the guards and the sound of walking away, the President left this place again.

"...Since this is the case, you must have to deploy the plan, so I will leave first."

"Well, goodbye!" Edward was the first to react, and waved to Shi Li.

The remaining few people also responded a few words one after another.

--------------------------

"You're out." The mentor was sitting in a coffee shop near the military headquarters, reading a book, "I just saw the President pass by."

"Yeah." Shi Li sat down opposite him.

"Did he test you? Did he deliberately walk past a place where he could easily launch an attack?" Even though he was not there, the instructor was able to deduce the situation very clearly.

"The artificial man." Shi Li said, "The artificial man's physical fitness is very strong. In terms of the thickness and distance of the wall, he must have heard my conversation with Roy Mustang."

"Ah, I see, Ontology, you want to use..."

"If this eye is considered to be taken away by the gate of truth because of the human body, isn't it possible to become a human pillar?" Shi Li directly took a sip of the coffee in front of the instructor, "Such an identity will not only be protected by artificial humans Get up, and you will be taken to the man in the bottle without doing anything."

"Well, it's up to you." The instructor said, "Anyway, you can push it with the eyes of reincarnation."

"...It's better not to use this kind of power lightly."

"Then it's up to us to protect you." The mentor pushed away the chair and walked over, sat next to Shi Li, hugged him very naturally, took a deep breath, and then lay on his back.

Several female shop assistants who didn't know the truth widened their eyes in surprise, and their hearts were broken all afternoon wanting to strike up a conversation.

"...you get up first."

"can not hear."

"Ah, Sherlock, here you come."

"Where is it?" The instructor sat up suddenly, looked around vigilantly, "No, you, the main body..."

All that was left for him was Shi Li's back.

"..."

The author has something to say: Today's update is late, the stupid author has something to go out in the afternoon hahaha, so I started coding at night.

I'm starting school! ! ! (horrified face)

Fuck, I'm going to learn a semester's worth of stuff in a month and have a final exam! ! !

The most terrifying thing is.

There is no difference in my grades between studying for one month and one semester, ⊙_⊙ (because it is the last week of surprise study)

So, everyone, starting from tomorrow, I probably won’t be doing daily updates. It’s probably the next day. If there are fewer classes, I may be able to change daily. After a month’s summer vacation, I’ll be able to work hard again! ! !

Refill.
