"Sorry to keep you waiting. Have you eaten yet, Mother?　I thought you said you were going to prepare a feast for Alphonse when he comes home."

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

Yes, I've already eaten. I'd like to ask you a few questions about Alphonse, Ars.

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

What?　Does it sound important?

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

Yes, it is. I think it's a very big deal for Alphonse.

"Okay. Okay, let's get rid of the people. Let's move to a different room.

　We came to Barca Castle and asked to see my brother Ars.

　It seemed that Brother Ars had just returned from Briaria, where he had been working to finish all the work he had accumulated.

　And we finally met him after he had finished his work.

　Mom started by saying that she had something important to tell me.

　She seemed serious, so we decided to talk in a place where no one would be watching us.

　We moved to a small room in the back of the castle, where we resumed our conversation.

"So, what's going on?　We were talking about Alphonse, right?　Maybe Alphonse was acting a little strange while he was coming back from the East, and maybe that had something to do with it?"

"You noticed. That's right. This boy was troubled by his birth. When he came home, he kept asking me about it with a serious look on his face, so I told him the truth.

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

"Oh, you told him?　You mean you already know that Alphonse is my child?"

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

"Yes. But that's not all. This boy had something else on his mind. It's about whether Alphonse was made by you.

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

What do you mean, "made"?

"How would my mother know that? It's gibberish. But I heard there's technology that can create a body exactly like a human's. I'm worried that they might have used it.

　My brother Ars and my mother across the desk from each other.

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

　I sat beside her and watched them talk.

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

　I should probably have done the talking myself, but she just kept going on and on.

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

　Watching her dependable figure, I waited for Ars' answer.

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

"Oh, you mean that. It's technically possible. The technology to create a genetically identical body is already available if we can apply magic to it. But don't tell anyone about it because it's a top secret.

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

　And then, the answer from brother Ars was a simple one.

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

　I can do it.

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

　That's all he said, as if it were a matter of course.

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

"You can do it?　So you really built Alphonse with that technology?"

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

"Hmm?　What makes you say that? Whether or not it can be done and whether or not it was done are two different things, aren't they?　Or perhaps you are saying that Alphonse is a clone of me or something like that?"

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

"I'm not sure what a clone is, but I'm worried that Alphonse's body might be exactly like yours."

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

"Why are you coming up with such crazy ideas again, Alphonse? Is there a reason for that?"

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

　Brother Ars, who had been talking with Mom, turns to me.

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

　Then I pulled out Norn from my magic bag.

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

　It was a magic sword that had been transformed into a bright red sword by the absorption of my brother Ars's blood.

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

　As I put it on the desk, I explain to him.

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

"A while ago, I had this magic sword, Norn, suck the blood of your brother Ars, didn't I? And at that time, Norn said to me He said that my blood and Brother Ars' blood are exactly the same.

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

"Yes?　This sword talks?"

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

"Ah, yes, it doesn't have a mouth, but it sends me thoughts. It's like they're talking to you in your head.

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

"Wow. Does that mean it has a real personality? There are strange swords in the world. Can I touch it, Alphonse?

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

"Yeah, sure."

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

"Thank you. ...... hmm, no. This guy doesn't seem to talk to me. You got any tips?"

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

"Well, no, I don't think so. When I was there, Norn just started talking to me on his own."

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

"I see. Well, okay. So this guy said some weird stuff to Alphonse. Something about having the same blood.

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

"I see. There was once an alchemist. He wanted to create a body like his own to study eternal life. And he said that the synthetic human at that time had the exact same blood as himself, but me and my brother Ars are the same as him.

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

"Oh, yeah. You can taste the blood? I see. So he told them you were a replica of me, or something like that.

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

"Yeah. So I asked my mom to confirm it, and she told me that I'm actually my brother Ars's child. What's the truth, Brother Ars?

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

　I ask my brother Ars again with a gulp and a spit.

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

　My mother, who was standing next to me, and my father, who was still sober behind me, were both staring at him.

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

"Well, I don't know. There is no way to find out if you and I have the same blood. So I can't deny the possibility. But I'm sure you were born out of Lilina's womb. The fact that Lilina endured the pain of childbirth and the fact that you are our son is true. I'm sorry, Alphonse. I feel bad for you as a child, even though there were many circumstances."

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

"I am my brother Ars' child ....... I am Master Lilina's child."

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

"Yes, that's right. But we're in trouble. ......

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

"What's the trouble, Ars? It's Alphonse who's in trouble, isn't it?"

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

"Well, yes, but... But it's no secret that I have an illegitimate child. I didn't expect Alphonse to find out so soon. It might not be good."

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

"What's wrong, brother Ars?"

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

"There might be a family feud. If it becomes known that Alphonse is my son, there will be people who will try to take advantage of that. This will surely affect the Barka family on the ground as well. ...... Alphonse...go back to the East. And don't come back to this country.

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

　...... What?

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

　Why is that?

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

　I was told about my birth, and at that moment, I was deported from the country.
