047. ikusaba no shoujo
047. the girl on the battlefield

Roy: It should be soon... It's around St. Louis Avenue. Go provide backup.
Hawkeye: Yes, sir.
Roy: There's a vacant house you can use in the suburbs. If something happens, let's meet up here.
Havwkeye: Yes, sir.
Roy: Don't be followed.
Hawkeye: Yes, sir. Ah, Sergeant Major Fuery's spare glasses. I'll borrow these. If there is any progress I'll contact here, so please don't move.
Roy: Right.
Hawkeye: Don't even think of venturing onto the field!
Roy: I know.

048. machibito no yakusoku
048. promise of the one who waits

Edward: Colonel!
Roy: I asked at your hotel and they said that you were here. There were officers and soldiers gathered in front of the hotel. If you return there like this, they probably won't let you out.
Edward: Ah! That's right, we let Scar get away, so...
Alphonse: They might start pestering us about guards again.
Edward: How's that homunculus?
Roy: I got a report from the First Lieutenant that they've lodged in an empty house in the suburbs. We're going there now. Could you check behind to see if anyone's following us?
Edward: Yeah, yeah. You're still not completely healed, right? Is it okay that you're driving?
Roy: I don't have many pawns that I could move. So I have no choice but to move myself.
Edward: So you don't have many friends? Maybe you're just not popular?
Alphonse: You shouldn't say that!
Roy: I don't want to hear that from you. ... We're going to pick someone up on the way.

Knox: What did you come here for?
Roy: We have someone who is severely injured. We are in need of a doctor.
Knox: Use some other doctor.
Roy: It would be troublesome to have our identities revealed, so we can't.
Knox: Another risky bridge. You damn brat.
Roy: I'm glad we've gotten to the point... "accomplice"... is what I'd like to say. But I recall that you have a family. If you say it's too bothersome, you can decline.
Knox: I'll go get my tools, so wait for me.
Roy: It's all right?
Knox: I don't care. I split up with my wife immediately after I returned from Ishval.

Roy: She's [Lan Fan's] strong.
Ling: Yes, I am proud to have her as a retainer. Umm...
Roy: Aah, I'm late in greeting. I'm a colonel of the National Armed Forces, Roy Mustang. I've heard about you. So you're a prince of Xing?
Ling: I am the twelfth son of Xing's Emperor, Ling Yao. I thank you for hiring a doctor.
Roy: I as well am obliged in the case of Maria Ross.
Ling: Yes, but even if in secret, I am glad to have made ties with a colonel of the National Armed Forces of Amestris.
Roy: That's true. I also consider having made ties with Xing's Imperial Family to be a great fortune for the future. And yet the greatest fortune of all...

Knox: ... Hey, what is that?
Ling: A homunculus called "Gluttony".
Knox: A hom...
Roy: Be careful. A Philosopher's Stone is inside its body, so it won't die easily. Though it will die if you keep on killing it.
Knox: Am I stupid? Or are you crazy?
Roy: Neither. The Philosopher's Stone which is said to be created through the sacrifice of numerous lives. And a monster that is created with that as its nucleus... that is a homunculus. Maes Hughes seems to have realized the military's dark side. He was killed by these guys.
Knox: Is that true?!
Ling: Some part of the military!? It's a lot more than that!!
Roy: What?!
Ling: King Bradley. There's a chance that he's a homunculus, too!
Roy, Knox, Alphonse & Edward: ...... Hah?
Ling: Under the eyepatch... their mark was on his eyeball! He was tracking us down with Gluttony!
Edward: No way!
Alphonse: The head of this country is a homunculus?!
Edward: What is the motive... or rather, if the Fuhrer is a homunculus then there's no way his family or the people around him wouldn't notice!
Ling: About that, while there was certainly the presence of countless people inside Gluttony, not in Bradley. Clearly he has the same presence as that of a human.
Alphonse: According to books, homunculi are classified as a lifeform that does not have the ability to reproduce, but... the Fuhrer has a child, right?
Knox: Yes. But his son, Selim, is adopted. The Fuhrer doesn't have a child that shares his own blood.
Roy: Ha!! Be he monster or man... either way, it's become easier to drag him down from the Fuhrer's sit! First of all, we get information out of Gluttony. If possible, let's try to get out the Philosopher's Stone, too. I may be able to use it to cure my subordinate.
Ling: Hey, hey, hey!! We lost Lan Fan's arm to get this clue to immortality! I'll have you allow me to take Gluttony back to Xing as soon as possible!
Edward: Wait just a minute!! We've also been searching for a way to restore our bodies for a long time! I won't forgive you for just running off with it!
Roy: That's right! You're illegal immigrants, aren't you? Do you think you can just move out of the country without our help?
Knox: Aaaah, jeez, this talk is getting nowhere. Hey Mustang, I'll be leaving now.
Roy: Wait! Please stay in case we have a majority vote!
Alphonse: You're awful, Colonel!
Edward: You dirty adult!
Ling: Get your priorities straight! There's no meaning to this if the Emperor dies while we're waiting around!
Gluttony: Mustang...? Mustang... killed Lust... Lust... Colonel Mustang... Roy Mustang!!

Hawkeye: What is this? Colonel!! Now just what happened...
Roy: Stop, First Lieutenant!!
Havwkeye: Colonel!! Where are you, Col--!? Colonel!!
Roy: Don't provoke him, First Lieutenant!! His target is me!!

Edward: This... so it creates a monster like this too... alchemy.
Roy: Too bad... I'll have to defeat it.
Alphonse: But... it's a homunculus we finally captured!
Roy: To survive is priority. And it's remembered our faces and names. There's no reason to let him get away alive!!
Edward: He drank...
Alphonse: ... the flames?
Edward: We can't use you!!
Roy: Then you try something!!
Edward: More importantly, stop following me!! He's targeting you!!

Edward: Hurry up and get on and go back, useless!!
Roy: Are you telling me to leave without a care in this situation?!
Edward: You're a hindrance!!
Alphonse: Leave!
Hawkeye: Seriously, you're not being useful, Colonel!
Roy: Useless... use... incompetent...?
Edward: ... Really, this stupid Colonel. You do your work. The top of the Military being a homunculus isn't a problem you can just leave alone, right?
Knox: There's no time to be talking forever!! You guys get on quickly too!!
Edward: It's all full. Just go.
Knox: You idiot!!
Hawkeye: There's no way we can go leaving children alone on the battlefield!!
Ling: You people... I'm not too clear on the details, but you're aiming for something bigger than a homunculus or the Philosopher's Stone, right? Isn't your opponent in the upper stratum of the Military?
Edward: We have to get information from that thing called Gluttony no matter what. We'll stay here and fight with him. Us being children has nothing to do with this. We're the ones who came up with the plan this time. We have to clean up after our own mess. Thanks for lending a hand up to here.

Hawkeye: The Fuhrer is a homunculus?!
Roy: There is a possibility of that. Though I cannot say for sure until I see with my own eyes...
Knox: So the one who ordered the annihilation of Ishval may be a homunculus?
Roy: If there were more homunculi who are pretending to be human and living around us... That's troublesome.
Knox: Heh! More like creepy rather than troublesome!
