What?! He succeeded in human transmutation!?

It's just a rumor though.

Who did? Where's he from?

An alchemist that serves the Hamburgang family.

What's his name?

Judou.

The Blind Alchemist

Judou, we had a physical in school today

and I was the tallest of the girls in class!

That's wonderful, you've grown a lot, Lady Rosalie.

I'm worried that since she started going to school she's only been interested in playing pranks...

Wonder who she has taken after?

If she grows up like you, Madam, I'm sure she will be very beautiful.

Sir Judou, you have guests.

Would you like to meet them?

Guests for me? How rare.

It seems they are traveling alchemists.

Alchemists...

I would love to meet them.

What are their names?

Mr. Edward Elric...

and Mr. Alphonse Elric.

It's such a spectacular mansion, right, brother?

I wouldn't be surprised if there were 20 or 30 alchemists hidden here.

Do you mean because it's so big, or because of its isolated location?

Both.

What, have we done something wrong?

Maybe they think were up to something.

How are we up to anything?

You are?

You're wearing a full body armor, what a weirdo!

Weirdo?!

Armor! Armor! Armor! Armor! Armor! Armor! Armor!

What's up with that kid?

Rosalie!

Weirdo! Armor! Weirdo! Armor! Weirdo! Armor!

You are Mr. Edward and Mr. Alphonse, correct?

I am Judou.

I'm Edward.

And over there being used as a toy is my little brother, Alphonse.

As you can see, I am blind so I don't go outside often.

So I don't get many opportunities to speak with other alchemists.

Thank you for coming all the way over to visit me.

Is my hard hand surprising?

No, it's not that.

I've heard the rumors about you, and would like to discuss alchemy with you.

Rumors, you say?

For example, that you have worked for the Humburgang family for years,

you're just as skilled as any State Alchemist, that you saved someone from a near death situation with those skills,

Or that human transmutation that you did, for example.

It's just an unfounded rumor.

But it's in those types of rumors, that some truth is hidden.

Could you take Lady Rosalie inside, please?

You're right,

Rosalie!

No! I'm playing with the armor!

You shouldn't do that, Milady.

Our guests have an important matter to discuss.

Milady!

Al, you go with them.

Really?

I'll show you around the mansion!

Milady!

Don't pull my head!

Instead of standing around here, shall we talk over there?

I don't like dragging things out so,

I'll get straight to the point.

Did you perform a human transmutation or not?

What will you do having heard the answer?

I'll just use it for reference, that's all.

I had both of my eyes taken away.

In my case, my left leg and my brother were taken.

And your right hand?

This thing?

I used this to transmute my brother's soul.

We're comrades then, huh?

Comrades in misfortune though...

I'm relieved.

Judou.

Rest assured, Madam.

He isn't here to try and copy me.

Did you really think we were up to something?

Well then, now that we've cleared that up, is there anything else do you want to know?

Is it true that you succeeded in human transmutation?

Edward, you've already seen the results.

Rosalie, she's the result.

It's empty.

Don't be scared, Rosalie.

There's a complicated reason for this.

Amazing, the armor is moving on its own!

Hey, wait!

You're just a suit of armor, but you can think?

Judou said that only humans can think.

You're not scared?

I was a bit surprised, but I've seen something even more amazing.

So that's it...

So that's why, in Judou's...

I see.

Come with me a second.

I think it'll be alright to show you.

Rosalie's secret.

It's been three years since I transmuted her.

As you can see, she has grown up very healthy.

It's possible after all!

Did you fail, Edward?

Y-Yeah...

I tried to transmute my mother.

As I said earlier, the suit of armor is my brother.

So you transmuted his soul?

Yes.

That's why I just want to get my brother's body back.

Please, tell me the secret of human transmutation.

That, we cannot do.

Why!?

Judou's alchemic abilities are strictly for this household only.

We cannot tell an outsider the secret.

But that's just...

Please give up.

That is the wish of my late husband.

My master wished it, there is nothing I can do.

Sorry I could not have been of more help,

Furthermore, because of this, I can't even show you the transmutation circle I used.

I pray you two will regain your original bodies.

You know...

Don't.

I haven't said anything yet.

Edward.

Please stop researching human transmutation.

I just want to get my brother's body back, so please, could you talk to Judou once more?

There's no use asking.

We have to ask.

He's already succeeded once, hasn't he?

It is impossible.

I get it.

I'll get Al and leave.

Wasn't he playing with Rosalie?

I'll just go look for him.

Is that alright?

Do as you wish, but you must remember not to enter the far room on the second floor.

It was my late husband's room.

Yeah, yeah.

So she doesn't want me going into the far room? Of course that'll be the first place I look.

Hurry, come on!

Y-Yes...

Where's Al going, I wonder?

Rosalie, you have a visitor.

This is the Rosalie that who came back due to Judou's transmutation.

How are you, Rosalie?

Aren't you afraid?

I'm used to it.

But, if this is Rosalie, then you are...

That's right, I'm a fake Rosalie brought here from an orphanage.

I look like the real Rosalie, so I was adopted. Since then I've been pretending to be her.

My real name is Amy.

How complicated.

But if I keep this up I've been promised warm meals, pretty clothes, and a loving family.

It's like heaven here.

Rosalie's hair is always so pretty, it's like silk.

She moved!

You're the same as her.

Why are you so surprised?

Is she alive?

I can't really say if she's alive or not.

Rosalie's always been like this.

But nobody knows if it's really Rosalie in this body.

It's possible that it's not her but something else entirely.

The real one...

Yeah.

The real Rosalie is really here,

I can never really be a part of this family.

Amy...

But, if I were to return to being Amy, I would have to go back to the orphanage and play in some dark corner.

So you came here after all.

We must respect the wishes of my late husband.

But I wanted you to see this.

So you told me not to enter on purpose.

My eyes, my eyes are burning.

Madam! Master!

Has Lady Rosalie...?

I can't see anything.

Please tell me, did I do it perfectly?

Is Milady...?

Judou.

Rest assured.

Your transmutation was perfect.

Our daughter is with us again.

Just as she was before.

Lady Rosalie.

Sir Judou has been in the service of the family for many years.

At first he was just a researcher and emissary, but with time he became as close as family.

Therefore, he couldn't bear to witness the Madam grieve when Miss Rosalie, her only child, passed away.

Not just that, Sir Judou truly wanted bring Miss Rosalie back.

Both Madam and Miss Rosalie are family to him.

Butler, even you...

Every one of us here shares in this deception.

And we'll continue to deceive him.

As long as things stay the same as they were, that's fine.

Well, shall we return to your room, Lady Rosalie?

Yes.

Bye bye.

Bye bye, Rosalie.

They're all good people.

Yeah.

But, none of them were saved.
