知ってた、マスター？
シシマイとやらに噛まれると厄除けになるらしいね。
……僕の趣味ではないけど。
新年なんだし、試してみるのはいい事だ。
それじゃ……いくよ！

『がぉ～！　がぶり！
　……これでいい？』

人目がないからとマリーンのような
振る舞いを見せる小獅子を、
今年も微笑ましく見守る錬金術師であった。

Hey Master, did you know that if a lion dance bites you, you become a natural ward against evil?
...I mean, I don't really care about that kind of thing, but since it's a new year and all, I might as well try, right?
Okay, here goes!

"Roaaar! Chomp!
...How was that?"

Thus, once again, the alchemist watched over the lion cub with a smile on her face as he took advantage of their time alone to behave like one of his Marines.
