"Hey, Mom. I need to ask you something, okay?

"What's the matter, Alphonse? It's kind of exciting to hear that again. What is it?"

"... I'm not your mother's child, am I?

At my parents' table, I cut out the subject for my mother, who was sitting opposite me.

My mother is seriously asking me if my tension has passed. [M]

So I finally heard something no one had ever heard before.

But my mother won't answer.

No, can't you answer that?

I was surprised and put my hand on my mouth and stopped.

"Tell me the truth. Am I really a child in this house?

So I asked again.

However, this time it is a little different from the question I just asked you.

The first time, I just asked.

However, I used Intimidation together this time.

At the same time as asking the questions, she threw a sharp magical needle at her mother's heart.

I originally created [intimidation] to fight, but I was wondering if you could put psychological pressure on me by doing this.

And it seems to have worked.

A trembling mother opens her mouth and makes a voice.

"... why do you think that?

"Because I asked people. But I didn't think it was for sure, and I didn't know if it was true. That's why I couldn't ask my brother Ars. Because the story meant that Mr. Ars was deeply involved."

"Yes, I was wondering when this might happen. The day will come when you will know the truth. But I can't believe it's so early...."

"So, after all?

"Wait. Do you really want to hear what's going on here, Alphonse? Listening to this, you don't know what's going to happen next?

"... I want to know. Tell me the truth, Mother."

"Okay. Well, I'll tell you what. You're a child of Arus."

"... eh? Kids? Brother Ars?

"That's right. Alphonse is the son of Alphonse. However, circumstances prevented me from raising him as his son. That's why they deposited it with us. Tell me you want me to raise you as my own brother."

Is that it?

Is that so?

Something seems different from Norn's story.

No, it was quite a shock that I was your brother's child.

But I don't know what to say, unlike what I had anticipated before.

"Really? Am I sure I'm your brother's child?

"Yeah, that's right. Honestly, I didn't mean to tell you this story. I felt like I had to answer you because I was asked too seriously. But, Alphonse. I just want you to believe this. We all love you. I didn't mean to distract you from your parent-child relationship."

"Ah, yeah. I don't mind that...."

"Really? You don't have to force yourself. I think it's important to cry when it's hard, because you're still a child. No, you don't have to be angry."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Oh, yeah, kids. I wasn't your brother, I was a child...."

What is it?

You're really worried because Norn says something weird.

To be honest, I was surprised, but I'd still be more convinced if you were your brother's child.

Well, I was that Ars brother's child.

I felt like wondering and saying that word through my body.

"No, I'm sorry, Mom. I seem to have made a mistake. [M] I mean, I feel like I'm being deceived. I heard that I was built by brother Ars, because what was it about?"

"Built? What do you mean, Alphonse? A child is a gift, not a word."

"That's right. I was told that I made the same body based on Mr. Ars' body. I'm surprised."

"Of course not. There can't be such a way. I won't let that happen."

My mother laughs at me. [M]

... but I got caught listening to it.

Are you sure you can't?

Because Eye is forbidden to do so.

I think this is a mistake.

Then, as I thought before, building the same body itself should exist as a method.

But my mother doesn't know that.

"What if I could?

Huh?

"Looks like there's a way to build the same body. And Brother Ars and Brother Kyle know that."

"... wait a minute. Isn't that a lie, Alphonse?

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure."

"I see. Let's go to the castle now. I'll talk to him. Follow me, Alphonse."

It seems like it will end gently.

I thought so, but my mother stood up to me. [M]

That face is serious.

He woke up his father, who was sleeping in his bedroom, and immediately began preparations for his way to Barca Castle.

In this way, I headed to the castle with a swordsman's mother who felt like I was going to interrogate you about something I couldn't hear myself.
