　Brother Ars is not your brother?

　My original source?

　Built?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What the hell?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What the hell is this guy, Norn, talking about?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Did he suddenly start making jokes of poor quality?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... chills.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But what Norn said seemed to penetrate me more and more as time went by.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a bad feeling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know why, but I just have a bad feeling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had a feeling that I shouldn't listen to him any more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Oh, I remember something like this. (Oh, I remember something like this... about a crazy alchemist who used to exist in the past. I heard that he was researching for eternal life and finally tried to create an artificial man.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Norn ignores my thoughts and continues talking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He has been sending his thoughts to me unilaterally, using a special method called "thoughts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had a bad feeling about this, but I had no choice but to face the thoughts.

(I created an artificial human exactly like myself and implanted my consciousness and memories into it. (Wasn't it about escaping from physical death by doing so?　Yes, yes, yes. (I think they were seriously working on such a stupid idea.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(............ wrong. Brother Ars would never do such a thing.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Are you sure about that?　But it is true that such things have happened. Because I cut down that synthetic. It was disgusting. Siblings and parents sometimes share the same blood. But they are usually different somehow, and I could definitely tell the difference. But every single synthetic was exactly like the alchemist. I had several such bodies in my room. But they were all failures and looked like nothing more than lumps of meat.)

(...... is a lie)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（It's not a lie. Well, it's up to you whether you believe it or not. But I'll tell you this once and for all. You and this Ars guy have the same blood. I'm sure of it.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is not one shred of evidence for what Norn says.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He's just saying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't even know if there really was such an alchemist once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I couldn't ignore the story at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, of course.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm a lot like my brother Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I looked more like him than my other brothers, Hector, Bite, and Kyle, by far.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look so much like him that people say I look like a copy of him.

(Brother Ars would never do such a thing. Then, what is it?　What are you saying, that Brother Ars is going to take over my body sooner or later?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（I don't know that. The alchemist I told you about earlier was experimenting with body replication, but I don't know what happened to his consciousness and memory. I don't know if such a thing is possible or not. It's just that...)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Just what?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（What did you call the eye?　This pretty doll. Didn't he say something about this Ars guy who made her?　Maybe they experimented on a doll before creating a flesh-and-blood body named Alphonse?　To implant a personality and establish a method of physical manipulation.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Of course not. I'm sure Brother Ars wasn't the only one who created the Eye. Brother Kyle helped him too. (......)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（If that's the case, it's probably just a brother and sister thing. That's just f*cking crazy, man.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I tried to spin words of denial, Norn quickly threw back a counter-argument.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is it the same with Ai?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We can move the transient vessel by implanting the persona of the Eye into it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you can do that, can you do the same with a human being?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey. What's really going on, Alphonse? You've been quiet again."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry, brother Ars. I guess I'm more tired than I thought. Can we talk later? I just want to lie down and rest."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm, okay. Okay. Have a good rest."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, thank you. I'm going to go to my room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't keep up with my thoughts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't get an answer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't stop thinking about what Norn said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I should ask my brother Ars about this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think that would be the quickest way to solve the problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am sure that if he hears what Norn said, he will laugh it off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But what if he doesn't?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What should I do if it is true that I was created by my brother Ars?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... don't know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm just scared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't ask him about it just because of the possibility that he might say something like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe I really felt bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After that, I didn't really remember how I got back to my room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think I was in my room before I knew it and fell asleep on the bunk in my room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that didn't clear the fog inside me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the end, when it was time for Ai to come to tell me that dinner was ready, I just kept thinking about what Norn had said.
