Chapter 537: Ajax's Trick



Ajax and his friends reached Resembool. It was the home village of the Elric brothers.

When they reached the destination, a little old lady was waiting for them. She was really small.

"Hey, Ed, I think you have your grandma's genes," Ajax said. Misunderstanding that she was his real grandma.

"What are you trying to say?" Edward asked, although he had an idea what he meant.

"You know, she's not tall and you..."

"DONT YOU DARE!" Edward growled.

"Hahaha, you are still as loud as before, kid." the old little lady spoke.

"Granny!" Edward greeted her.

"What have you done now?" She asked him while smoking her pipe.

"A lot has happened, can you fix this up?" Edward said.

He then introduced the two companions. "This is Major Alex Louis Armstrong and this is our stalker Ajax."

"HEY! I'm your protector. Also, this is Hats, grandma." Ajax sweetly introduced Hats too.

The old lady shook Ajax's hand, "I am Pinako Rockbell."

She then stepped back and looked at Edward. "I know I haven't seen you in a while Ed but you have gone and grown smaller."

"BWAHAHAHAHA..." Ajax rolled in laughed.

"MWAHAHAHA..." Even Hats laughed uncontrollably.

"Hey, Granny, you've got it wrong. You're supposed to say 'How big you've grown lately, Ed'" Edward gritted his teeth and corrected her.

"And why would I say something so clearly untrue?" She asked.

Edward started growling, "I'M STILL TALLER THAN YOU, MINI HAG."

Ajax and Hats were still laughing at him and making him angrier.

*BAM*

A wild wrench came and collided with Edward's head. Then came a girl on the balcony of the house. After a few more chats, they were invited in.

Edward showed his shattered arm to Winry. It wasn't even recognizable and looked like pieces of junk metal.

"WHAT IS THIS?!" She screamed after seeing the condition of her handmade prosthetic arm.

"Of course, hey, what is this place?" Ajax asked when they reached the ruins of a house.

Edward came from behind and answered him, "This used to be our home until we destroyed it."

"Oh, bad memories I guess. But, didn't it also hold happy memories for you two?" Ajax asked.

"It did, but what's done is done now," Edward replied. He knew that it would take a lot of time to build it back and he wasn't in the mood to spend that much time on this yet, not when he still had to get Alphonse his body back.

"What are you saying? Wait, I'll show you a trick. Just watch." Ajax announced and enthusiastically went ahead and stood in the middle of the ruin.

"My grandpa taught me this because I break stuff too much," Ajax said.

He closed his eyes and focused. He started waving his hand around.

To the shock of the Elric brothers, the stones and wood on the ground started moving and soon the house started to fix itself.

Little by little, all kinds of broken wood and stones stuck under the ground also came out. It all looked like magic. After waiting for 10 minutes and gawking, there stood a house just like their own. Ajax also made slight changes to make it even better. For example, a better bathroom.

A good bathroom was always a good addition to a home, after all, that's where you spend some of your life's most satisfying moments. Like when you pee after holding for too long and when you let yourself lose after waiting to reach home and do it. Ajax thought.

It was all small joys of life but had a bigger meaning.

Soon, the front door opened and Ajax walked out with a big smile on his face. "So, did you like my trick?"

"WHAT?"

"HOW?"

"Hehe, I told you not to underestimate me." Ajax proudly laughed.

Edward ran into his house and it was the same as before. Except for all the personal belongings that they had taken away, all the furniture was the same.

"This is amazing. You really rebuilt our house." Alphonse exclaimed.

"No, not rebuilt, but returned it to its earlier state. I just made the objects stack themselves up as they were." Ajax explained.

"WAIT! why didn't you fix Edward's arm then?" Alphonse asked.
