Fullmetal Alchemist Page #3

---

It's a privilege to meet the famous

Fullmetal Alchemist.

General Hakuro sent you here

so you're my priority.

Here.

Thank you.

Al, this way!

- Here.

- Where?

Here?

- He's coming!

- Wait!

Nina is happy to have someone

to play with.

I have no time for her these days.

Is your evaluation soon?

Yes. The annual review...

Proving my worth to HQ...

causes me stress.

I'm no genius like you.

This time...

I might lose my job.

I can't let that happen.

You want to know why I'm here?

To be honest, yes.

The Ishvalan Civil War...

left things in disarray.

All the riots and upheaval...

The East Area is no exception.

Am I under suspicion?

I don't doubt you.

But as for the top brass...

They aren't so sure.

So, they sent a friend to watch me?

Roy.

You want to make it to the top?

Watch your back.

The Military has its detractors.

Should I watch you?

Yes.

Whoa...

My work with chimeras

is seen as pioneering,

but really...

most of them are imperfect.

But you did create a chimera that speaks.

Yes, just once, two years ago.

So, you actually did it.

That's impressive!

But...

it only spoke three words and died.

But that's how I qualified

as a State Alchemist.

So, your mom's not around...

Yep, but it's okay.

I have Dad and Alexander.

But...

Dad spends all his time in the lab lately.

I'm by myself a lot.

Well, then...

let's spend the day playing together!

- Really?

- Yes!

Isn't that great, Alexander?

Good boy!

I went back...

to the Gate of Truth...

but all I could get back was Al's soul.

So, you transmuted Al's soul...

and embedded it in steel armor...

My right arm was taken for Al's soul.

I would've...

given my life...

to get Al's body back.

How devastating...

Mr. Tucker.

How can I get Al's body back?

Well...

It's not within my power.

Right. I thought so.

But...

I want to try something.

Hey, Ed!

- Phew!

- Sorry we left in a hurry.

It's okay. I was held up with paperwork.

This is from my wife.

Oh, thank you!

Hey, where is Al?

Al will stay at Tucker's house...

and be examined.

Good.

Did Tucker have information for you?

Yes, about a Stone researcher

named Doctor Marcoh.

He's been missing for a year,

but he was seen in Barns.

I hope you find the Philosopher's Stone.

My research was second-rate last year.

If I fail this year...

I might lose my job.

You'll be okay, Dad.

Because you always study so hard.

I love you, Dad.

Daddy...

will pull it off.

Are you worried?

Don't worry. Al's not a kid anymore.

I'm not worried.

I just...

miss him.

Yeah, you're always together.

But he has Tucker, Nina, and Alexander.

Yeah, don't worry.

By the way,

I noticed you were Nina's favorite.
