"Sit down!"
Seeing Hermione coming in from the tent door, Maka got up and pointed to a back chair beside her. Then, he turned and walked to the fireplace not far away, put a cloth on it and took down the copper pot at the bottom being licked by the fire from the support.
"It seems to be cooling down recently... Just now, I've just cooked tea. Let's have a cup of tea to warm up!"
Under Hermione's eyes with complex emotions, Marca still calmly filled the two empty tea cups with steaming tea. One cup was placed in front of the empty seat for Hermione, and the other cup was directly held in her hand, gently blowing the steaming water vapor.
After demaka sat down again, he looked at Hermione still standing a little far away and motioned again:
"Sit down! Now that you're here, talk again."
Hermione at the other end of the table still seemed to hesitate, but as Marca said, since she came, why hesitate?
With this thought, she finally put aside many thoughts in her heart, walked to Maka, took out her chair and sat down.
Then Hermione sniffed gently, as if she smelled something, familiar and nostalgic.
She was stunned. Then she picked up the cup and looked at it a little.
"It's godigan tea."
Hermione said subconsciously, touching her lips. The hot tea made it difficult for her to eat. After hesitation, she put down the teacup first.
Then Hermione spoke again, looked at Marca's side face and said:
"There are some things we can't explain to us, which we already understand. But one thing I have to find out - tell me, is the 'that'... At Buckingham Palace you?"
After such a question, she paused again, and then frowned and said:
"And say yes, you don't know?"
After all, the present Maka just woke up from the "deep sleep", and until yesterday, the ice coffin had been parked in the Granger camp. Even just in case, bill and Furong will personally go to the tent where it is placed every day to observe and confirm.
It is not hard to imagine that if Maka has been sleeping all the time, his knowledge of many things since he just woke up is almost zero.
Unfortunately, only Maka herself knows the specific facts.
"Yes."
Seeing Hermione asking about this, Maka, who was holding the tea cup in both hands, released a hand and scratched her head. She seemed to have some expression that she didn't know where to start.
"Indeed," he said frankly after thinking about what to say, "if you want to ask if 'that' is me, I can only say that I'm not sure, because I haven't seen him with my own eyes. Just... To be honest, whether 'he' is me or not is not as important as you think!"
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Maka say this, Hermione's eyebrows could not help but frown more tightly.
"Don't worry, you'll understand when I finish." Maka took a sip of tea and smiled gently at her. "I probably understood your concerns after listening to Sarah's story yesterday. In the final analysis, don't you just want to know whether I will make the choice of 'that'? It's obvious that you can't agree with the idea of the so-called 'new human'."
At this point, Maka paused slightly, and then nodded slightly as if she had confirmed something.
"Yes, so if I really choose to do that, I'm on the opposite side of you - in fact, at Buckingham Palace, that kind of thing seems to have happened? Well, it sounds... Terrible."
Watching Marca frown at the last sentence, Hermione perked up.
"That is to say, 'that' is not you?" She was a little excited and said, "yes! If it was Marca, how could you have such an idea? It's just..."
"Hermione!" Marca pressed on her shoulder, as if to calm her down. "Hermione, don't get excited... Didn't I say that? It doesn't matter if 'he' is me."
After repeating this again, Maka could not help sighing and shaking her head:
"What's more... Seriously, if it's really necessary, at least for me personally, I may not be able to make a choice like that."
"How could it be! You... You're not Maka!"
Suddenly, another figure appeared at the gate of the camp, covering half of the light from outside. The other figure was probably holding his arm and eavesdropping outside. At this moment, he suddenly appeared there with him, with a staggering pace.
But even against the light, Marca and Hermione in the camp can easily recognize that Harry and Ginny are coming!
"If it were Maka, it would be impossible to agree with such an evil practice! It would destroy the world!" Harry shouted at Marca inside, "besides, you killed his sister! In front of us! This kind of thing... This kind of thing... I..."
As if he didn't know how to interpret the anger in his heart for a moment, Harry simply raised his sword with a "Shua" after repeating a few words, and the blade pointed straight to Marca.
"Hermione, come here! He's not Maka! Get away from him!"
On the other side, Hermione, who was suddenly caught in the middle, seemed to have completely lost her usual calm. Although she subconsciously stood up after seeing Harry appear, she looked left and right, but she didn't know what to do.
"Harry."
At present, Hermione made a great decision to meet her. After thinking all night, God knows how much effort she spent.
So even just now, when Maka finally admitted that she might indeed become the "devil of Buckingham Palace" under some specific conditions, she held back her fear and anxiety.
Because one thing is already obvious - if the Marka in Buckingham Palace is not Marka and the Marka in front of us is not Marka, then where is the real Marka?
In this way, if these two are actually Marca, it makes sense... Even if the result is unacceptable to anyone.
But was Harry wrong? No, obviously not.
Just then, Maka, holding godigan tea, finally spoke again.
"Harry," he said with a smile, "if you have to cut me with a sword, don't be in a hurry at this time?"
