Winry Rockbell, a girl who played with Edward and Al since childhood, is an important existence equal to family to the Elric brothers. Although Wen Li's parents died early in the civil strife in the country, she was not defeated by grief, she was still a cheerful and lively character at all times, and was a strong and gentle girl.
Perhaps it has something to do with living with her grandmother, Binaco, who is a "mechanical armor engineer". Wen Li is quite enthusiastic about machinery-related knowledge, and is even called a "mechanical otaku" by Edward - after the incident four years ago, She single-handedly took care of the maintenance of Edward's mechanical prosthesis.
Recently, Wen Li seems to realize that she likes Edward, ahem, even though she often hits him with a wrench... Regrettably, just now, Edward and Al had set fire to the house where they lived for more than ten years, He decided to set out to the imperial capital to find a way to retrieve his body, and he didn't know when he would come back... No, maybe it's a question of whether or not he can come back. Four years ago, he saw Al, who had just become an armor, hugging a blood-soaked Edward to the door asking for help. In one scene, Wen Li is very clear that "Alchemy" is not a benevolent technique bestowed on the world by God.
However, she couldn't stop the Elric brothers—
"Wen Li? Don't you want to go to bed yet?" Grandmother Binaco walked into the living room, worried about her granddaughter.
"Grandma... It's still early, isn't it?" Wen Li usually debugs machinery at this time. Sometimes she even falls asleep on the workbench with oil stains all over her body. Even if she looks beautiful, she can't hide her job as an engineering girl.
"Let's go to bed a little earlier today..." Even Al could see that Wen Li likes Edward, not to mention Binaco, who has an extremely rich life experience... Of course, even without this feeling, the worries about childhood sweethearts are heavy enough .
(Kuo Kuo Kuo) There is a knock on the door.
"Could it be Ed and the others?" Wen Li hurriedly went to open the door. Of course, she wouldn't think that the brothers Edward and Al gave up as soon as they got to the train station. They even burned down their house, so they had already made up their minds... It's just that, apart from them, Wen Li couldn't think of anyone who would visit her home at this point in time, so she could only guess "Is something left behind?".
Open the door, and sure enough, it's...
"... who are you?" Although the name was about to burst out of her throat, Wen Li swallowed it.
"Ahaha... I'm Al, Wenli," Al, who was wearing adult clothes that obviously didn't match his body, smiled wryly, then lowered his head and asked Granny Benak, who was even shorter than him, "Grandma, our The house was burnt down, can I stay overnight?"
"...Indeed, this appearance is Alphonse... But?" Bina looked at Al suspiciously, and found that he faintly overlapped with the appearance of the youngest son of the Ellink family - Daji used Edward's body as a template , and then modified the photo of Al when he was a child, it doesn't look like there is a ghost.
Wen Li hurriedly asked: "But didn't you guys just go to the imperial capital, refer to "The National Alchemist"? Why did you get your body back all of a sudden?"
"Going out to meet a noble... is it almost like this?" Al scratched his head and moved away.
Behind him are more than ten people who Wen Li doesn't know.
"Hey, listen to these two peas, you made this thing? Can we go in and see the workshop?" Liz asked, raising Edward's right arm.
"Ah! My mechanical armor!?" Wen Li saw her and her grandmother's work at a glance, and subconsciously wanted to get angry... But before the anger rose, she immediately reacted, "Difficult, don't tell me, Ed's body also...?!"
"Huh?" Wen Li asked, but Al was stunned. He hurriedly dragged his loose adult clothes back, and found Edward squatting on the ground at the back of the line, "Brother, let Wen Li see you. right arm and left leg?"
"Leave me alone... let me be quiet..." Edward fell to the side like a salted fish.
"Guo, it really is Ed..." Seeing Al was still skeptical, after all, he was just an armor not long ago, but seeing Edward dressed in exactly the same way as before, Wen Li was finally relieved, "But, didn't he get his body back? Why is it still like this?"
"Ah... I really want to die... My first time actually... Actually..." He covered his face.
"Uh... something happened a little bit." It's better not to say anything about my brother's first kiss for a man.
Well, although I always feel that I have Leeds' style, I will keep making fun of my brother in the future...
…
"—People from another world?" Granny Binaco, who was serving tea, exclaimed in surprise.
"You can also think of us as 'lost foreign tourists'~" Liz, who was leaning on the chair, looked at Binaco carefully... Although it is common sense for people to become shorter with age, this old woman's height is too mysterious.
"I have been to other countries when I was young," said Binaco when he was young, and was said to be a very unrestrained mechanical armor engineer, "but I have never heard of this kind of technology in other countries."
"The times are advancing...?"
"That's going too fast. If a country really developed to the point where it didn't even need tools and equipment to create a human body casually, then probably this country would have disappeared long ago." In the end, Binaco There are still people who go to the city on a regular basis. After all, they have to buy and sell goods to make money. They are not elderly people who have been blocked for decades. "... If you think about it this way, no matter how unbelievable their rhetoric is, you can only believe it. "
Liz laughed without saying a word. Compared with Edward and Al, they were just passers-by, and it didn't matter what passers-by thought.
"Even from another world, I don't really believe that someone would help others for no reason..." Edward, Al, and Winry were not in the living room, so Benako asked this question, "What do you want?"
"Didn't Al say it? Alchemy."
"A man who can easily create something out of nothing needs to abide by the "Alchemy" principle of "Equivalent Exchange"?" The weak desire stronger power, which is easy to understand, while the strong pursue weak power, it is difficult...
"You need to switch positions, old lady~~ Do you think my teammates are acting now?"
"..." Others also visited Lockbell's workshop under the introduction of Wen Li, and when they saw the mechanical structure they didn't know, they asked, full of curiosity, not like a fake.
"That's it, you're using the same technology that's unfamiliar to us," Liz shrugged, "Of course, I'm not denying that, following these two brats, I'm expecting something interesting to happen. Existence." However, that is not an inevitable event, at least Leeds can't guarantee it.
"...interesting thing..." A person's name appeared in Binaco's mind inexplicably.
Even if "they" don't need to find a way to restore their bodies, even if "they" don't need to become national alchemists, as long as "they" are still Hohenheim's sons, the gears of fate will continue to turn.
