[Fullmetal Alchemist｜Steelmaking] Life Theory

The war stopped for a while, and Opalxi crossed her legs and found a place where there were no people to smoke.The smell of war and cigarettes mixed together, causing Opus, who was carrying a gun, to cough twice violently.

"Choked?" A familiar voice sounded from the side. Opalxi looked over, stood up, threw the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out, and nodded to the person who came: "Well, hello, Mr. Roy."

Roy was wearing a dirty white gown, and behind him stood a man who was also wearing a dirty gown and glasses.Ao Poxi looked over and stretched out his hand to the man: "Hello, my name is Ao Poxi, and I am a national alchemist without a title."

"Ah, hello." Realizing that the girl was talking to him, he rubbed his dirty white coat with his hand, and stretched out his hand with a little callus: "I'm Matthew Hughes Captain."

The hands of the two shook their hands and let them go.Hughes was silent for a while, scratched his hair, and asked curiously: "Although it's a bit impolite to ask, but... how old are you?"

"Twenty-six." Opposilik replied, standing up straight, and continued, "It's the age where you can smoke and drink."

26?

Hughes was a little surprised when the girl who was not an adult revealed her age.Suddenly, the girl pushed them away, and shot at the bottom of the pile of dead people.

After a moment of silence, she put away her gun, bowed and apologized to them, and said, "Sorry, it might be my illusion. I thought there was a living person inside."

"War will bring illusions to people." Roy said, the girl straightened up, nodded, and agreed with Roy's statement.Without further words, she turned around, as if preparing to leave.Roy suddenly stopped her: "Aupexi."

Opalxi turned her head and looked at him with some confusion.Roy glanced at her as if confirming something, and asked, "Did you lie about your age?"

"Why did you do this?" Opalxi asked, and Roy picked up a booklet from the ground, and said in a slightly joking tone, "Because you should have been 27 a few days ago."

"Oh...God. Well, thank you." Opersey paused, eyes widened, took the booklet from him, and bowed in thanks.Then I made a small explanation for my wrong age report: "The war will make people confused about their own time. I'm really sorry, I reported the wrong age."

After finishing speaking, Ao Poxi turned around, and felt that the sight behind her was a little strange.Looking back, looking at Roy's gaze, he was silent for a while, and said, "This is war. Although there is no value here, it is indeed war. War will confuse others' eyes and confuse time. Worry about the things around you, war will have such an impact. No matter what happens, what we should do is to try our best to suppress the war, so that the war does not spread to other happy people."

After finishing speaking, Opalxi, who realized that she had said too much, bowed again, observing the complicated etiquette: "I'm sorry, gentlemen, if my words make you feel impolite, I apologize."

Bending over, then straightening up again, Roy's heart itched when he looked at the girl's blue pupils again.It seems that something is wrong, after thinking for a long time, I found something from her blue eyes——

From the very beginning, this young girl had eyes that killed people.

She wanted to say something, but the topic started from the girl's mouth again. She grabbed the gun belt, looked at them and asked, "Excuse me, did I interrupt your conversation?"

"No, no." Hughes shook his head, the girl pursed her lips, blinked, and hummed to them twice.He waved his hand and finally walked into the camp.Hughes and Roy looked at her back and started their conversation again.

Like the meaning of war, like the emotion of killing people, and 'a bright future'.In a series of lines, amidst the smoke and smoke, there is still a bit of confusion.

The girl was not at all confused.

At this time, Roy thought of Opal Hee again.She came and went in a hurry, but those murderous eyes never hesitated.

-

After smoking a cigarette, the girl sighed, glanced at this brow, and said nothing.Kimberly, who was sitting by the side, glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter? Who made you unhappy?"

"You don't talk." Ao Poxi rarely said something to Kimberly in a bad tone. After what happened last time, she didn't have a good face towards Kimberly.He smashed his tongue, waited for another glance at Kimberly, and continued: "It doesn't matter to you."

Like a rebellious little kid.When Kimberly thought about it, he saw three people approaching from a distance, who seemed to be acquaintances whom he had known for a long time.Ao Poxi looked at the blond woman among them, her eyes widened in surprise, and she turned to ask Kimberly, "Do you know her?"

"I don't know." Kimberly replied immediately, Opalxi bit her fingernails, looked at the woman with short blond hair, then at Roy and Hughes who were with her, and finally tried to calm down turned pale.Pretending to be none of his business, he extinguished the cigarette, took out a light yellow candy from his pocket, and ate it.

Sweet, pineapple flavor.Opalxi chewed and made a crackling sound.And the candy was given to her by Kimberly before, maybe it was a little apologetic, Apoxi thought, because if it was her, she would add such feelings to the passage.

The three of them found a seat and sat down. They seemed to be in deep thought for a long time, and the blond woman started the topic: "Please tell me, Major... why are the soldiers who should protect the people slaughtering civilians? Why should they give people Alchemy, which brings happiness, is now being used to kill?"

This question is a rather strange question, Ao Poxi thought, holding her gun, and answered silently in her heart: Because the country requires this, and we are soldiers, so we cannot resist.

The question of the tired woman attracted Kimberly's attention, and he happily chose to replace Major Roy, who looked equally confused, and answered the question: "Because, this is the work of the national alchemist."

Yes.

"Why are the soldiers, who are supposed to protect the people, slaughtering civilians? Because that's what the soldiers are supposed to do, isn't it?" Kimmbley replied, with a bit of rhetorical questioning.But obviously, his values ​​could not be accepted by the three of them. Roy immediately said in an accusing tone: "You mean, do you want us to take this tragic situation lightly?"

Kimberly was slightly surprised, looked around, and asked the soldiers around him for confirmation: "Can't you treat these things as... your own work?"

"If possible... I don't really want to discuss these things." The soldiers said a little helplessly.Kimberly opened his eyes slightly, looked at Opal Hey, and asked, "Is this your job?"

Opus, who was suddenly drawn into the topic, raised her head slightly, and looked at Kimberly curiously.At this time, the woman opened her eyes slightly, looking at Opal Xi, who paused and nodded to her.

She was the one who almost sniped Opalxi before.

"Say something." Kimberly looked at Opal Hee like this, and continued.Ao Poxi frowned slightly, raised her eyes, looked over there and said, "They all know what I'm going to say, there's no need to force them to listen again."

[This is war.Although there is no value here, this is indeed war.War will confuse others' eyes, confuse time, and worry about things around them. War will cause such effects.And no matter what happens, what we should do is to try our best to suppress the war and prevent the war from spreading to other happy people. ]

Kimmbley touched his chin helplessly, and finally, he began to use the person who asked the question to explain the meaning of the question: "Then... Let's put it this way."

"Miss, your face is full of...'I don't want to kill someone' expression." He reached out and pointed at the blonde woman.Opalxi moved a little silently, and took out another candy from her pocket, this time it was pink, and it contained strawberry flavor.

Their topic had nothing to do with her.

She thought, and continued to listen helplessly.

"Killing people is not a happy thing..." the woman admitted, but before she could finish speaking, Kimberly interrupted her: "Really?"

For a while, the atmosphere became tense.

"When you kill an enemy, are you sure you don't have 'Great! Hit!', satisfaction with your skills, or even a sense of accomplishment for getting the job done?" Kimmbley asked, and finally, He also called the blond lady slightly ironically: "Miss Sniper."

Before the blond woman could react, Roy grabbed Kimberly's collar and stopped him: "Stop talking!"

"He didn't say anything wrong, right?" Opalxi said subconsciously, then frowned at her own talkativeness, and continued to bite the bullet: "If you want me to say, everyone thinks differently, this person's three views There is no similarity with other people's three views. Moreover, this is a battlefield, and it is normal to feel happy when you hit the enemy, otherwise you will be the one who dies—so on this basis, I think he is right. He I guess you guys are the ones who are weird."

Headache.

Opalxi closed her eyes, and finally closed her mouth.Exuding the air of don't touch me anymore, I bit the candy in my mouth.

"Half of what she said is correct." Kimberly looked at Opal Hee, then turned back, and looked at Roy: "It's strange that you want to seek legitimacy in this special place like the battlefield."

"From the very beginning, she knew what she was going to do when she put on a military uniform. Whether it was using guns or alchemy, there was no difference between cruelty and nobleness, right? In other words, killing one person is fine, but tens of thousands Don’t you have the heart? You know, that little girl is a real soldier who won’t let a single child go.” After speaking, Kimberly pointed to his military uniform again: “When you wear this, Don't you decide what you wear according to your own will? If you don't want to, don't wear the uniform."

"If you feel that you are forced and pitiful, then don't kill people." Kimberly said this, making Roy let go of the hand that was holding his collar, and continued to Roy in a very serious tone. : "Don't turn your back on death, look ahead. Look at the people you killed from the front."

"Then, don't forget."

do not forget.

"do not forget."

do not forget--

"They won't forget you either."

Every person killed by you will engrave you in their eyes.You killed them, but you chose to escape, so, the people you killed... Isn't it very pitiful?

As Apoxi thought about it, she saw Kimberly open her hand again, and continued: "Speaking of which, she also said it just now—"

"Mr. Kimberly." Opalxi interrupted Kimberly seriously, and looked at Kimberly: "I don't care how much you say. But please don't take me, I am very innocent , I’m just doing what I’m supposed to do.”

"Are you angry?" Kimberly said in a little surprise, Opalxi nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm angry."

If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this topic in the first place, let alone say such things subconsciously.

The battle bell rang again, and the girl stood up, as if nothing had happened, and stretched out her hand to the blond woman——

"Hi, my name is Opal Hee."

"...I'm Lisa Hawkeye."

The blond-haired woman looked at the girl whose expression suddenly disappeared in front of her, and stretched out her hand to hold the girl's small, slightly cold hand.The girl seemed to be relieved, and she tried her best to impress her with a dry smile: "Come on, everyone."

Then, she put on the gloves with alchemy formula and left in a hurry.
