553. Olivia is angry

"Yes, Ajax is inside. Please come in." Izumi politely invited them. After all, before anything else she considered herself a housewife.

"Thank you, oh, who might you be, by the way?" Olivia inquired.

"I am Izumi Curtis, Ajax came here with my students, Edward and Alphonse Elric." She introduced herself.

They were then brought inside. But, they only found a blonde boy and a suit of armor there.

"Where is Ajax?" Izumi asked.

Elric brothers nervously stayed quiet.

"WHERE IS HE?" She insisted.

The two brothers just turned their heads towards the cupboard.

Olivia looked at it. "Ajax, come out. Your grandma is here. Your grandpa told me what happened."

The cupboard started shaking.

*BAM*

Hats was thrown out of the cupboard. "Goddammit, Ajax. You traitor."

Hats looked at Olivia's face innocently with large eyes. "Meoww..."

Olivia looked at him for a moment. Then, with a smooth motion, picked Hats up by his nape.

"Hats, I never thought you'd be careless enough to let Ajax get injured. Also, how can you keep on running from Alex?" She asked.

Hats guiltily looked at her with his big eyes. "Meow."

"Your eyes won't work this time. You are grounded for 1 week and Ajax, come out or I will lock you inside that cupboard for a week." Olivia threatened him.

The cupboard creaked open and Ajax came out.

"Hehe, hi, grandma." He spoke.

*GRAB*

Olivia pulled his ear. She knew this was not hurting him, but it was surely embarrassing for him and that was a good punishment.

"Since when did you start running from us? Where did you get hurt? Show me." She scolded him.

"But, grandmaaa... there are so many people here. I can't take my shirt off." he complained embarrassingly.

She again pulled his ear and Ajax quietly took his shirt off. Edward and Alphonse were trying to hold their laughter from a distance.

He showed Olivia his back. "Look, Grandma. It's just a scratch. I am strong, you know that. Also, this scar will be my battle scar. Just like how grandpa has so many of them."

"The fact that you were even injured shows that you are neither strong and nor skilled. Also, there is nothing called a battle scar. Your grandpa's scars are from when he was not strong and was just an ordinary soldier. Those are injury marks and there is nothing to be proud of in them." Olivia replied and checked the scar on Ajax's back.

Ajax looked at Azula with puppy eyes, "Aunt Azula, you know I'm a good boy. I promise I will take your martial arts classes for a full year next time. Please tell grandma to let me stay here and have my adventure."

"Hats, you are far too strong to feel like anyone in this world is a challenge to you. Why did Ajax get injured even when you were nearby? He's just 5 and this is not the age to be fighting." Olivia asked the cat standing like a gentleman.

"Ah... that... well, you see, Grandma, I was..." He tried to think of a way out.

"Look at you, you don't even have an excuse. What am I supposed to tell Alex now? Listen, I will let this matter rest if you promise to look after Ajax correctly. I only allowed you two to go out because I felt you'd take care of him." Olivia scolded them.

Hats nodded, "Yes, grandma. I will look after him like he's my own kid this time. You can rest assured."

"Good," Olivia nodded and looked at Izumi.

"Thank you for taking care of Ajax, child." She nicely said.

"Oh, no need to thank me. He's been a great kid. In fact, he helped us a lot by bringing us a philosopher's stone from god knows where." Izumi replied.

Olivia looked back at Ajax and it made him shudder.

"Grandma, I was just... trying to help them," he replied.

"But you still stole it. You could have simply asked. Your punishment is to write 'I will never steal again.' 100,000 times. Your deadline is in 5 days." She announced his punishment.

Olivia turned back to Izumi and asked, "Why would you need a philosopher's stone? What can it do to help you?"

"Oh, I..." Izumi clutched her belly.

Olivia simply walked closer to her and touched her shoulder. To her shock, with her magic, she found that Izumi was missing her womb.

"How did this happen? Why are you missing your womb, child?" Olivia inquired.

*UWAAA*

Izumi suddenly vomited blood.

"Ah, I think we should eat dinner first," she said and went to the kitchen with the help of her husband.

Ajax, Edward, and Alphonse didn't follow them and went out to look at the town. It was a big town and had its own military branch. Ed and Al wanted to notify about themselves there.

...

Inside Curtis's house,

"So you were trying to revive your child through some kind of taboo magic. Well, taboo magic rarely goes well. But still, there is a deity out there that so cruelly took away your womb, and I don't like this. Why is this knowledge even out here in front of the world? Just so that the deity can keep on tormenting people? And to think it didn't even leave kids." Olivia muttered after hearing everything from Izumi.

"Listen, my child. I will heal you. I assure you, after this, you will be able to have kids again." She assured her.

"What? But how?" Izumi asked back.

"Don't worry. I have many methods. It will take some time and will hurt you a lot because growing new organs isn't easy. You will also be needed to be put on a special diet," Olivia told her in length.

She gave a list to Izumi's husband. "Can you bring me all this?"

Sig Curtis took the list and went away quickly. He was also internally happy about this. Olivia then whispered something in Azula's ear.

"Bring me the organ regrowing potion," she instructed.

Azula nodded and went to Phixheim. She also brought the blood replenishing potion with her because she was having a bad feeling about this.

She returned to the bedroom of Izumi and saw her lying on it. Everything was prepared by Olivia.

"Azula, give me the vial," Olivia said. She then mixed the potion in soup and gave it to Izumi.

"Drink it and hold on to something tightly. This is going to hurt." Olivia advised her.

After that, what came were the pain-filled screams of Izumi as her womb regrew inside her body. The veins that were dormant or broken started to pump blood again and this process was very painful.

"I can take this pain. If it can let me have my own children." She shouted and filled herself with motivation.

After 4 more hours, the pain went away and Izumi was covered in sweat. "Was... it... successful?"

Olivia quickly checked her body and saw everything was fine. "You can have kids now, Izumi."

Izumi was filled with excitement and happiness. She looked at her husband and smiled.

Her dream was finally possible. She was originally unable to have kids. It was as if she had a birth defect but now she had hope.

She then tried to get up. However, suddenly she screamed in pain.

"AAAARGH..."

Olivia was confused and checked her body again. Her face turned angry in that instant. Izumi's womb was missing again. It was just like she was before.

She quickly made Izumi fall unconscious and poured blood replenishing potion in her mouth.

"HOW DARE HE! That deity took away her womb again." Olivia angrily muttered.

She quickly called Alexander as she couldn't pass judgment on deities.

"Oh, Oli my wife, how did you remember me?" Alexander asked from the other side of the phone.

"Alex, there is a deity in this world. I helped a woman get her womb back that the deity took away. But, even after healing her, just when everything was right, the deity took it again. How can this be acceptable? This new organ didn't belong to the deity in any way. It has no authority in doing this to an innocent person." Olivia ranted.

Alexander nodded after hearing everything and put the phone down. He looked at Dobby. "Let's stop following Bradley for now. We need to take care of something else."
