When Atobe opened his eyes, for a moment, he forgot that he was in a strange world, and then, like so many ordinary mornings in the past, he habitually called out, "...Pelso That."

But the hard mattress under him and the rather old furniture in sight made him wake up all of a sudden, something flashed in his gray-blue eyes, sharp and deep.The boy sat up, pressed the back of his neck that was still in pain, and whispered to himself, "That kid, you are really ruthless."

It's different, this is not the world he lived in for 16 years, but a world about a hundred years ago with a strange ability called alchemy.The name Atobe Keigo means nothing here.

The young man frowned slightly, then raised his head, his eyes were as proud as ever, even more mature than before.He Atobe Keigo has never been a person who only relies on the protection of his family, and his value is far beyond what can be summed up by a young master Atobe.Just like he chose the Ice Emperor, who is supremely strong, and became the king there, no matter which world he is in, the name Keigo Atobe will eventually make people look up to him.

Barely suppressing his worries about his family and teammates, the young man looked resolute, and silently began to plan his future direction - he will go back, and yes, he will go back with Pelsona.

The man's pale face and blood on the corners of his lips appeared in front of his eyes again, and at that time, he couldn't do anything.

"Alice, especially the aggressive Alice, is mostly cast at the cost of burning lifespan."

A simple line of words, but he regarded this piece of information as top-secret and locked it in the highest-level safe of the Atobe family—it was clearly something that could be known after a little investigation.However, even if he did this, he couldn't relieve the flustered anxiety that kept tightening in his heart. He looked at the man with a nonchalant smile, as if nothing in this world could enter this man's cold eyes, including himself. .Then for the first time, deep anger began to burn in his heart, and it gradually evolved into a forbidden place that could not be spoken.They fell silent, fell silent, and finally burst out when they saw the blood at the corner of the man's mouth.

How could, how could this man be allowed to die like this?

He had imagined him in thousands of ways, but there was no such one.In the endless blank time, quietly disillusioned alone, so pale and powerless that no matter how he tried to keep him, it would be futile after all.

In this world, what is useful is not only ability, but also one thing that can make people succumb to madness—power and money are the eternal rules, no matter which world they are in.Now that she has escaped from the shackles of that academy, does it mean that everything can start again in this world?This time, it was him who would protect him.

The boy got off the bed with his expression unchanged, smoothed out every wrinkle on his clothes meticulously, and combed his hair.There was still a dull pain in the back of the neck, and there was even a throbbing pain in the stomach because he hadn't eaten.However, the young man at this moment is dazzling like never before.As if getting rid of the layers of worries that have been shrouded all the time, the young man showed a proud smile-this is a strange world, but it is also a brand new world, isn't it?

At the very least, in this world, the man named Pelsona can break free from his own shackles, and he is no longer the young master of the Atobe family that everyone pays attention to—they are the people of this strange world. The only ones that can be seen in each other, the companions who illuminate each other, and go home.

Atobe Keigo smiled slightly.

After a long, long time, when everything was silent, Atobe couldn't help but sneer every time he thought of that journey to another world, and then proudly raised his eyebrows and eyes in the pair of arms stretched out behind him. The words are buried deep in my heart, and I don't say a word.

At that time, the young man was high-spirited and full of self-confidence, but he did not realize that the "original world" he thought did not belong to that man either.Oh, at that time, his name was still Pelsona.

He took it for granted that men are more attached to the original world, but he didn't know that whether it was the strange world of alchemy or the world he lived in called "Prince of Tennis", to that man, it didn't really matter much... The difference, all the worlds are just reminding him that because of what kind of existence he has lost his most important, real home.

Atobe has experienced the feeling of losing everything he was familiar with in an instant.However, the difference is that he chose to hold those hands and never let go, and he has never regretted it. However, that person abandoned his original self in the transformation again and again, and could only reply again and again in his sleep. Memories that never change.So cold.

"You... how did you..."

Edward pointed to a guy who had changed into a familiar uniform after only going out for a few days, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked seriously, "You really don't have a long-lost brother?"

Already immune to this problem, Pelso smiled and took out a silver pocket watch from his waist.The long silver chains collided and made a clear sound, but it made the boy's eyes widen even more.The familiar hexagram pattern that could never be faked in front of him, a genuine alchemist.

"When did the national alchemist pass so easily..."

He muttered to himself, "Sure enough, that incompetent boss is doing favoritism for his 'brother'?"

"No! Since you are already an alchemist, you should have a residence assigned to you. Why did you appear here!"

The boy suddenly came back to his senses, his face was ugly and authentic.

The black-haired man laughed even more hatefully, and his cold voice pierced the only hope left in the boy's heart, "Because a newcomer like me will always be arranged to learn from the seniors,"

He glanced at the boy's height with malicious eyes, and suddenly there was a smile in his tone, "So, please give me more advice, little, no, point, senior, senior."

"Who do you say is as small as a bean and can't grow up to be stuffed into a milk bottle-"

"So, Mr. Pelsona and brother have been colleagues since then?"

Al said happily, not minding his brother's angry face at all, "Don't look at my brother like this, he is actually very happy in his heart."

When Edward frantically retorted, the gentle voice still penetrated into the man's ears through the armor, "This house hasn't been this lively for a long time...Ever since I left Taka's house (Note 1), my brother has always been quiet. "

"Al!"

"so,"

The armor bent down the body that seemed extremely wide in the room, "Please, no matter what... well, if this idiot brother is going to do something dangerous again, that,"

He straightened up and said bluntly, "Please just knock him unconscious!"...

After calming down the brother who had blown his hair, Al suddenly remembered something and turned around, "Speaking of which, national alchemists all have fixed titles...Mr. Pelsona's?"

The blond boy on the side turned his face away angrily, but stretched out his ears inadvertently.

"red lotus."

A gleam flashed in Pelsona's eyes, and it was fleeting.The black-haired man lowered his eyes, hiding all his expressions in his eyes, his voice was extremely calm, even slightly soft. "My title is, Alchemist of Red Lotus."

"The Alchemist of Red Lotus?"

Al slightly admired, "It always feels very suitable."

"But why did you call it that name?"

He continued to ask, his voice full of childish curiosity.

"Well, it's probably because when it was refined, someone described it as beautiful as a bursting red lotus."

Pelsona smiled slightly, rubbing the silver surface lightly with his fingertips, there was a dark red mark that never disappeared.Not long ago, the same place was stained with the blood of a man who was unwilling to resent.

The black-haired man put away his pocket watch and deepened his smile. "I also think it's very appropriate."

################################

A day and night ago, the central government quietly held an unprecedented exam.It's a pity that no one except the person concerned left a deep image of it.

The Alchemist of Red Lotus (Note 2) played with the long braid on the back of his head, raised his chin and asked the people below impatiently, "Ah? What do you know, show me it?"

Anyway, it is impossible to have a more beautiful refinement than an explosion.

The man raised his head, and his long black hair was tied behind his head like him.He looked at him with some displeasure, and the man smiled deeply, walked up to him and said softly, "Unfortunately, I don't know much about alchemy."

"and,"

One of the man's eyes gradually turned crimson like blood. "I like your title very much, can you give it to me?"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..."

Note 1: Taka is a life-defying alchemist who uses his wife and daughter to refine monsters.Before being admitted as a national alchemist, the Edward brothers stayed at his house and had a deep relationship with their lovely daughter, and they have been very sad since then.

Note 2: The original Red Lotus Alchemist's name is Kimberly. He is a pervert who likes to play with human body explosion, and loves blood and war.They used to kill innocent people indiscriminately.The protagonist takes his place and kills the deity.And because it was a master of illusion, no one discovered it.
