Bluebird's Illusion Guide

Ed will get the following options:



If he chooses to go out by himself, it'll suddenly start to rain. He says he needs to find shelter as soon as possible, otherwise his clothes will get wet and Al will be the one to wash them...and that maybe next time he'll help Al out.

"......!!!"
"Hey! Fullmetal, are you getting shelter from the rain too?"
"I'm even seeing you on a holiday....I'm really getting back luck.....no wonder it started to rain...."
"....there's really no need for you to have that expression...it must be fate, don't you think ~ Fullmetal~"
"Hmph! I don't think so at all!"
"....."
"....."

After a few minutes...




"......"
"....is there something you want to say, Fullmetal?"
"You!!! Don't stare at me!!! Go that way!!! There's a lot of room here!!! Why do we have to stand together under this roof!!!"
"....this is a public place, is it not? It's my freedom to stand wherever I want~"
"Alright! I'm leaving now! You can stand there all you want!!!"
"Hmm ~~~ that's a good idea! Getting wet in the rain might do you some good."
"?????"
"Because..."
"Because what?"
"....because I heard a bean can grow more quickly with a bit of water!"
"YOU!!!!!!!! WHO ARE YOU CALLING A BEAN THAT CAN'T GROW AND CAN'T BE SEEN NO MATTER WHAT?!!!!!!!"
"...don't over react~~"
"Let me go!"
"Fullmetal.....I need to talk to you about something...."
"Well sorry! I'm not interested!!"
"Even if it's about your brother, you're still not interested?"
"What....what are you talking about...."
"Your brother's body.....are you sure he's fully restored....? There's really nothing wrong?"
"..I....I don't understand what you're talking about....Al is fine.....no need for your concern!"
"Fullmetal! You truely have nothing to tell me?!"
"......nothing....but thank you for your concern!!"
"....you really don't trust me at all?"
"....no.....nothing like that...We're fine....I....I have some business to attend to.....the rain's about to stop.....I'm going now....thank you for your concern..."
".........."


Ed can go anywhere he wants now, but there's no point since he won't find anyone or anything. [But it seems if he goes to the residential area, he'll meet Breda talking to a dog. Thanks to kagayachou for telling me that.] It's best for him to just go back home and end the day's activities. He'll find Al missing.

"Damnit! Was he kidnapped......what should I do...."

He sees a note on the table that reads: If you want to see your brother again, come and find us!

He needs to find clues in order to find Al. "Huh? There's something on the back of this note...."

Clear sky and green grass, sun and water; the black soldier and golden goddess...

The clues are indicative of the location Ed's required to go to. This refers to the park, where he'll find Black Hayate and Hawkeye.



Ed gets the next clue from Hawkeye, who finds a note on Black Hayate:

Strewn everywhere and crowded; in the youth's hands it shall revive.

Go to the market place. In the market place, the wares are "strewn everywhere" and it's also crowded. But who is the "youth"? Ed overhears someone saying, "Fury, you're really great! You can even fix something that's as badly broken as this! Just like a doctor!"

Fury: "It's nothing, really..."
Stranger: "Don't be so humble! You're really great!"

Ed goes forward to ask Fury whether he's got a note or not. Fury doesn't know what he's talking about, but the stranger remembers someone giving a note to Fury.

The endless sea of learning, the mountain of books without a road; patience, the answer without hestitation.

Go to the library. The "mountain of books" refers to the library. Now, Ed needs to find the person who can "answer without hesitation." Inside, Sheska's praising Farman for being able to answer all her questions without hesitation. Farman says it's nothing compared to her memory.

"You have a really good memory!"
"Well, anyone can do the same if they read something a few times. Oh? Colonel Elric, what brings you here?"

Ed's found his man! Sheska points out there's a note between the pages of Farman's book:


Heaven's place, the place of rest; busy back and forth to entertain a guest.

Go to the residential area. Ed sees Breda, who looks scared. "Get away from me~ Agghhhhh~!!!!"

He's being chased by a dog and drops something. It's the note Ed's looking for:

If we meet by chance, how would you know it's not fate.


Go to the train station. Ed will be approached by a flower girl. He tells her he's busy and doesn't need flowers, but the flower girl is insistent. Havoc comes along and buys a flower. "May God bless you!" she says. Havoc replies, "Heh, if you'll bless me, then that's enough."

"I'll bless you! Goodbye!"
"It's not bad....getting a blessing from a flower girl..."
Ed's surprised. "Havoc, what are you doing here?"
"I'm waiting for fate, of course!"
"Fate?" =_=;
"Yes! Even though it's by chance, who's to say I won't meet a beautiful girl on her travels and have a relationship with her?"
"You....really are....eh?! Let me see the flower in your hand!"
"What? You want this?"
"No! I want to look at the piece of paper in there!"


The darkness, the forgotten corner; the light of the flame, burns vigorously.

Go to the dark alley.

"This is the dark place....but why isn't anyone here?"
"....aren't I a person?"
"Who...who are you?!"

Roy appears and chuckles. "Why are you so nervous? Are you scared so easily, Fullmetal?"
"Why is it that person who won't leave me alone...?" [Note: the phrase used is "冤魂不散", which literally translates as to "a ghost that just won't leave me alone".]
"'That person who won't leave you alone'?!" Roy is shocked. "Why do you describe me as such? We just met here by coincidence!"
"Who'd want to meet YOU by coincidence?! I'm just in really bad luck!"
"Anyway, what are you doing here? You're not here to catch ghosts, are you?"
"I don't have that kind of time to do such a ridiculous thing! Anyway, I don't believe in ghosts!"
"I don't believe them either ~~~ But I am rather curious as to who put that note on your back....."
"Note?! How....why is it on my back?!!!!"

Unafraid of the cold, to control all living things on this earth; I come by invitation, and that is good.

As Ed is about to leave, Roy calls out, "Hey! I helped you find what you wanted, aren't you going to thank me?"
"I didn't find it on you, so why do I have to thank you?!"
"But if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't have known where the note was, right?"
"You....fine. Thank you, General!"
"Don't let anyone put notes on you anymore~~~"
"None of your business!!!"

Go to the Central Headquarters. The receptionist welcomes Ed, saying, "The Fuhrer's already waiting for you in his office!"
"He's...already waiting in his office?!"
"Yes, please go there quickly!"
"I....I understand!"

When Ed gets to the door of the Fuhrer's office, he hears the following:

"Fuhrer!!!! Please don't be like this!!! No!!!!!!!"
Ed's eyes widen in shock. "Al! It's Al's voice! Al! Al...."
"....you can't possibly put lemon tea into milk! Eh? Brother, you're here?"
"...Al? Can someone tell me what's going on here?"





King Bradley replies, "Well, it's like this. I was thinking of taking care of the documents I'll need tomorrow, so I went over to your house to see if you were there, but only your brother was home..."
Al adds, "Because the Fuhrer wanted to drink lemon tea while he was working, that's why I came over to brew tea for him!"
"That's.....that's it?!"
"Yup."
"But....but those notes..."
"What notes?"
"I followed the clues on these notes to find you!"
"Huh? But I didn't leave you any notes!"



King Bradley interrupts. "I asked Mustang to tell you. What happened? Didn't he tell you?"
"So....so it really was him playing with me~~!! I'll have you remember that, Roy Mustang~~!!"

"Mr. Secretary, what is it you wish me to remember?"
"You--!!!"
"What about me?"
"You....you were playing me!"
"Playing you? But didn't you get here smoothly?"
"You--!!"
"Brother, please don't be like that..."
"Hmph!"
Roy: "Your temper is really big~~"
"It's none of your business!"

King Bradley asks Roy to take the Elric brothers home. Ed's surprised. "I thought you wanted to take care of the documents..."
"It's alright. I've already wasted much of your time already..."
"Then...we'll leave now."

After they leave, King Bradley asks Roy, "So, what are your plans now?"
"you are talking about...?"
"If you have something to attend to, you can leave first too."
"And what if I have nothing to attend to?"
"Then go find something to do."
"I understand..."
