Note: Again I did not translate this, midnightbanshee did, so any comments or questions on this should be directed to her.

NOTE: There are many parts where Ed has the option to go anywhere he wants in the headquarters. He will talk to certain people depending on where you (the player) want him to go. As it's not possible to list all the possible conversations he has with everyone in the Roy ending, what you see here will be how *I* played this ending. Hence it may be different when *you* play it. For the purposes of completeness, see the other endings to find out what other possible conversations Ed has with everyone. So however you choose to play it, you'd get the conversations I've written down at some point.

(Butting in on midnightbanshee's walkthrough right now, well I have collaborated all those conversations, or tried to, when ed goes around the home or work. See the conversation page. ^-^ Yeah, it was pretty hard, so you better be thankful! >:D But for this ending just go through how Midnight Banshee goes through it or you might not get the right ending.)

See [here].

Ed: "..........................Zzzz......what's....the...matter...it's......bright....Zzzz....Al....curtains.....Zzzz.....don't....Al.....Al? Ha~ ...Nng....did I forget to close the curtains last night.....no....it's still early....gonna go back to sleep...Al? He's ironing the clothes?"

Al: *from a distance* Brother! Are you up yet? Brush your teeth and wash your face!

Breakfast is ready!

Ed: I know! Coming right now --- (and then to himself) I really wish.....we can always be like this....

(later on...)

Ed: Alright, it's about time I went out! Hm? Where's my jacket?


 

Ed can't find his military jacket. Al hands it over to him, and he notices that it's one size smaller. "Eh....did it shrink?"



"Haha.....don't be silly...."
"Al....you made changes to it...?"
"As long as it fits you, then it's okay."
"Al....did you stay up all night to do this?!"
"This....well....it didn't really take me a long time to do!" *blushes*
"Al.....thank you."



As they leave the house, Ed wonders why Al is going out with him today.

"Eh, Al, you're going out as well?"
"Yes, I need to go to the market! Today's Tuesday, so the vegetables and meat are cheaper.

If I buy them today, I can save some money!"
"Save money....Al~"
"Hm?"
"You're really like a housewife!"

"Brother~~~ I guess you don't want to eat dinner tonight, huh?"

"Al.....don't be mad at me!"






As they walk to the headquarters, Al remarks this is the first time they've gone out

together this early. Ed smirks and says, "Really....Don't you feel so honoured, to be able

to walk beside such an important person like me~~"



"Brother.....speaking of which, don't you usually ride to the Central Headquarters with

Colonel Musta--- no, the General? Why have you been walking to work recently? It's not like

our house is near the Headquarters..."



"Al!"

"Brother....did I.....say something wrong..."

"Actually...walking to work is a good thing! I....I can train my body....I really like it!"

"Re...really....really....."

*scene switches to the residential area*




"....then....Brother....I need to go this way now...."

"Then I'm going that way! Be safe!"

"Yup....see you tonight!"

"Okay! I'm going now!"




"Good bye...."



When Ed reaches the front of the headquarters, the guard hands him a letter from Roy.

"Good morning, Colonel Elric!"

"Mmm...good morning..."

"Ah right, the General was just asking about you..."



"Asking about me?!"

"He asked whether you arrived for work already....right, he also left you a note..."

"Shred it for me!"

"What?"




"I SAID SHRED IT FOR ME!!!"

"Yes....yes!!!"



"Thank you! And if he asks you next time, just tell him you don't know!"



"Yes....."

When Edward leaves, the guard says to himself, "But can I really say that...."

"No.....Zzzzz......Zzzzz......no....cow......don't....don't come over...NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"



"A....a dream......good thing it was just a dream....definitely because I ate that strange thing last night....hmm? That's...."

*goes to the living room*

"Al....Al!"
"Hm? Brother, you woke up by yourself? I was about to call you..."

It seems Ed woke up because he heard Al singing.



"But Al......I thought you were tone deaf!"
"......."
"......."
"Brother...."
"Umm...."
"You're the one who's tone deaf!"
"How can it be me?"
"Of course it's you! When we were in primary school, everytime we were in music class, you'd run away!"
"I did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did!"
"........"
"........"
"........"
"........"
"....Zzzzzzz....."
"Brother!!! Don't sleep whole standing up!!!!"
"Aiii..........I did not."
"Never mind.....as long as you're up now."

Then later on, Ed says, "Actually, there's something I want to say.....your singing.....it sounds......" ....like it doesn't belong to you
"Brother, what are you trying to say?"
"Nothing....nothing...."

As Ed continues to eat, he suddenly chokes on the food. Al chides him for talking while eating.

"I just wanted to ask you what this is."
"Oh, this?"
"Mmm..."
"Brother, you like it?"
"It's....it's alright....Al....don't tell me....this is...."
"Brother, you're so smart....yes this is made from milk..."



"Al....are you trying to prank me...."
"Why would I do that....I just want Brother to get a bit more calcium!"



"Then....then thank you..."
"Brother....I think you're overreacting...ah yes, Brother..."
"Hm..?"
"I'll need your help later."

*scene changes to outside the house*

"Al...these are..."
"No more....I think that's all...."
"Al....I'm asking what these things are..."
"Brother, don't worry. They aren't very heavy..."
"Al....."



"What is it?"
"Fine, fine. So tell me, where do I put this rubbish?"
"What rubbish! How can you say that!"
"Eh.....not....not rubbish? But...look....these toys and books are already so old!"
"Of course!"
"I've collected these from the families close to us! Many of these things have been used for many years already!"
"Al...why do you need these things? If you wanted them, I could've bought them for you! Otherwise, you could have made them using alchemy! There's no need to go around asking for these things no one wants..."
"These aren't things that no one wants!!! To many children, these are treasures!!!!"
"Al.....you....calm down a bit...."
"I'm sorry, Brother. It was me who didn't explain things clearly...Brother, do you know there's an orphanage that just opened nearby?"

"I know....I heard those children are those who lost their parents during war...."
"Because it just opened, so there are many things that haven't been prepared yet...that's why I went around the neighbourhood asking people for some things to donate..."
"Is that so! Then I'll help as well! Hmm...what should I make with alchemy..."
"That's alright, Brother!"
"Hm? Why? I thought you said those kids needed stuff...are you suspecting my abilities?"
"No...it's not that....see, even though these things are already quite old, but those kids treat them like treasure....it's not a matter of whether they're old or new; it's the hearts of those people who are willing to donate to those less fortunate that matters the most. That's why I didn't do much to fix these things..."

"Al.....I understand....then....[grins] let me, the Great Fullmetal Alchemist bring these things over to them!"
"Brother....I already asked you to do it before..."
"R-Really.....heh....heh....I...I'll go now..."
"Thank you for the trouble~"



He meets Roy at the front of the headquarters, where Roy comments how Ed's not looking very energetic today. Ed sarcastically thanks Roy for his concern and Roy says,"Oh, there's no need to be so gracious, considering our relationship is so special".
"What do you mean ‘so special'?! Don't know what you're talking about..." =_=;
"Isn't that the case? But every morning I wait for your special service..."^_^
"What.....what are you talking about....hey wait.....I'm warning you.....don't talk nonsense...." *blushes*
"How would I be talking nonsense? Even though your techniques are rather poor, but generally speaking I still take a bit of pleasure in it..."XD
Ed: *wtf expression* >_O
"Still, I'd like your techniques to improve a little...then the Fuhrer and I would find it more pleasurable...."
"Shut up....do you know what you're talking about?!"T_T *walks away*
"Ah.....did he really become angry?"





Hawkeye: Did you really find that funny?
Roy: Isn't that a good thing....at least he's high in spirits now.
Hawkeye: I see....however, it would be wise of you to choose your words carefully.....after all, this is the entrance of the military headquarters [alternate translation: "government building"].
Roy: Oh, did I say something inappropriate?
Hawkeye: What do you think?
Guard: *blushes*
Roy: .....
Hawkeye: .....
Guard: ......
Hawkeye: .....
Roy: .....
Guard: Good....good morning, General!
Roy: Good morning.....ah yes, did you think there was anything wrong with what I said just now?
Hawkeye: .......
Guard: No.....no!
Roy: Very good! See....there was nothing inappropriate with my words.
Hawkeye: I understand! Then since that is the case, please start your work for today! There are about 80 piles of documents for you to take care of, and I hope you can get them done promptly.
Roy: =_=; I......I know.



Tea pouring time. It doesn't matter who Ed pours tea to. The Fuhrer praises Ed's tea brewing skills to have improved, while Roy remarks, "It'd be better if you didn't mistake soda powder as sugar!"

"Soda powder?! I didn't put in soda powder! I believe there is something wrong with your taste buds!"
"Oh really? But I don't think so..."
"If I really used soda powder, then how come the Fuhrer hasn't said anything?!"

Then the Fuhrer interrupts. "Colonel Elric, you did put in soda powder."

Ed: ".........."



Roy: "........"
King Bradley: "........"
Ed: "I apologize..."
King Bradley: "That's alright. I kind of like this taste."

Ed is surprised. Roy is speechless.



Ed: "R-really....."
King Bradley: "From now on you should experiment a bit more."
Ed: "I think.....we should leave it...."

Free time. If Ed goes to the garden, he'll see Fury. He asks why he's holding a bag of bread. Fury replies it's for the birds.



"Wow.....how did you do it? Is it because the bread tastes good?"
"No....actually the birds like to be with humans. If you feed them with good intentions, they'll come down. Want to try?"
"Really? Oh....it flew away..."
"That's because your voice was too loud...."
"Sorry....."

Ed can go anywhere again. If he goes to the resources room, he'll get annoyed at something. "Damnit....why is it put up there so high? Can't people think about the shorter people for a change? Arrrgghhhhh!!!!!! I don't want to admit it~ arrrgghhhhh!!!!!!"



Farman appears and gets it for him. It's a statistical report on the human population of the Southern area. The Fuhrer wants to read a report on the population growth. Ed doesn't want to write it out, so Farman offers to help him. Fifteen minutes later, Farman's finished the report. Ed offers to treat him to lunch as repayment, but Farman declines, saying he'd like some help on his alchemical studies since he's going to try again at the State Alchemist Qualification examination. Ed agrees.

Free time. It doesn't matter where he goes, but if he goes to the corridor, he'll meet Breda, who's acting very nervous and scared. Ed points out it looks like he's hiding away from someone. Breda insists he's not scared. Ed then remembers Hawkeye brought Black Hayate to the military headquarters for training today, and asks whether he's seen them.

"You're saying they're close to here? Where? Where?"
"What do you mean....where..."
"No! I have to get out of this dangerous place! Now! Immediately!"

Envy leaves.

King Bradley asks Ed to work overtime. Don't work overtime. As Ed leaves, he bumps into a mysterious person who snaps at him for not looking at where he's going. Ed thinks he looks familiar....


Ed returns home and finds Al missing. He thinks Al must have gone out to throw out the garbage. But after 30 mins, Al still isn't home. He's afraid for Al's safety because of the murderer, but then laughs at himself for worrying like that since "Al's sparring partner is always me...there's no way he would be in danger."

An hour later, Al's back with blood on his jacket. "Al......is there really nothing you're hiding from me?"

"Brother, you're being so paranoid lately. Let's have dinner now."



>Al talks about his day and how he helped a family clean their house. Ed says that's really troublesome, but Al disagrees, saying it gave him a feeling of family. Al says they should do a clean up of their own house sometime, too. Ed is enthusiastic and agrees to help. "Really, Brother?"
"That's a promise!"
"Yup!"

After dinner, you can go anywhere but the bedroom [because you need to talk to Al]. I chose the backyard. Ed finds Al there. Al's enthusiastic about his firefly grass [hotarugusa], a type of plant that will bloom into small blue flowers.



"These flowers only bloom during night. And their petals glow like the wings of fireflies. A legend has it that if you hold it to your chest and pray while it's in bloom, then the person you're thinking of will be able to feel it, no matter how far away he is...."

"Al....you actually believe in that kind of thing...."

"Brother....even if we don't have this flower......if we were separated....you'd still be able to feel my thoughts, right...."

Ed smiles and answers, "......yes.....of course I will....."

Then, he can go anywhere he wants again. If he chooses to go to the front door, Al will be there. He asks Ed to take a walk with him.

"The night sky is so beautiful~ It's been a long time since I've looked at the sky~ look! A shooting star! Make a wish now!"
"Al, what kind of wish did you make?"
"Of course I wished for your recovery! What about you?" [referring to Ed getting his limbs back]
"................my wish has already been granted."
"Brother...."
