It's really a long time since we had such a happy gathering... Like today?
To be honest, Marca is not sure about this anymore.
Because he found that since he woke up from the ice coffin, his concept of time scale in his memory seemed to be becoming more and more dull and hazy.
Is this just because of the blank caused by the unknown sleep of that period of time, affecting your sense?
No, No.
Maka, who has been studying soul science, knows that even if there is part of the reason, it is obvious that there must have been some changes in him... Or more accurately, in his soul. At present, even he has no clue, but it is a real change.
The evidence has actually appeared - not only because of the abnormal pain Sarah had previously encountered, but also because he has found several times recently that his memory seems to have deteriorated.
For example, when he talked with Hermione in the courtyard of the Prague residence later, he almost didn't remember which of the three families was the wizard of Neville's stronghold as a secondary force supplement;
For another example, in the same conversation with Hermione on the battlefield before, he failed to fully explain the name of the "European wizard resistance alliance" established by the other party, and Hermione had to make a slightly unhappy speech to correct him - he had just heard it from Sarah not long ago!
In fact, before these two details were detected by Maka, it seems that similar situations have happened several times. It's just that this kind of detail is really too subtle. Even sharp as Marca herself has encountered a lot before she realizes it and gradually consciously begins to pay attention to it.
But fortunately, the important memories before deep sleep seem to be fairly reliable. Only in this way can the impact of this aspect not be so great that it will delay things, and at the same time, it will not be easily detected by others.
"But it seems that at least this long lost warmth does exist," Marca looked at everyone's faces with a more or less relaxed look, and couldn't help smiling more. "I'm not the only one who thinks so."
Yes, even for others present, such a big party as today has not been seen for a long time. Looking at the faces of familiar relatives or friends, everyone can feel a kind of joy and relaxation from the heart.
Especially when Professor fleeth and Professor spraot also taught people to appear unexpectedly at the door, even with Hermione's current maturity and steadiness, they couldn't help running past like a new girl. When the old Dean Hufflepuff, who was as kind as the students' grandmother, hugged her with a distressed face, she even couldn't help crying.
Seeing this scene, Maka was very glad that she finally set the meeting place at Granger camp, finished the task of Hermione and others in the Czech Republic in a hurry, and brought all her little partners back here on time.
Yes, it's been a whole night since we had a rest in the courtyard of the Prague residence. They are located in Granger camp, the first battlefield support point that bill has taken over and managed again.
At this moment, when almost everyone's attention was focused on the two professors who had just appeared here, Maka nodded and sent a big smile to the slim figure who came with the two professors but only followed them from the outside.
It's Charlotte, who has become a teaching assistant at Hogwarts earlier, and she's here this time!
"Haven't seen each other for a while."
Obviously, the other party also found Maka's place from among the people as soon as she came in. Only after she saw the latter's smile, she paused a little and then walked towards this side again.
When they came near, they faced each other, and Charlotte nodded.
"Well, I haven't seen you for a long time." She hesitated slightly. "Are you... Okay?"
"OK," Marca nodded again, "or at least there must be more good things than bad things."
"That's good."
Charlotte said so. At this time, she couldn't help looking at Maka up and down, as if she wanted to find something from him that could prove that he was really "OK".
After all, even she knows that Maka woke up from an ice coffin after she once lost her trace. Before that, there had even been conclusive news that Maka was dead and that his funeral would be held.
"I thought... I thought... I thought I would never talk to you face to face like this..."
When she said this, Charlotte's throat faintly choked. Because although the time was short, when she heard the news, she really thought Maka was dead.
"You --"
"Oh! That would be terrible!" Listening to her say that, suddenly, Maka spread her hands and said with a slightly exaggerated smile, "I want to see more school sisters! You know, a beauty like a school sister is a loss of life level!"
Speaking of this, Maka turned her head and looked at Willie behind her and said:
"You say so?"
In fact, when she heard Maka say the special name "Xuejie", which was once only called by him, Charlotte's heart was filled with memories of the past. After that, she remembered the first conversation between the two at the branch dinner of Maka.
Maybe Maka has forgotten, but she still clearly remembers that Maka, who was teased by her at that time, used this trick when she also teased her in turn.
At the moment, seeing Marka turn her head to ask Willie, she naturally turned her back to her side. She finally couldn't help raising her hand——
"Pa!"
When Charlotte felt a pain in her back, she seemed to shout with extra force. Even if she had been prepared, Maka couldn't help grinning.
Looking at the rare smile of Willie in front of him, he seemed to be interested in the scene. He could only smile helplessly, and then turned back and said:
"My sister, can't you be lighter? It hurts!"
"How can you keep a long memory without giving you a heavy one?" Charlotte seems to have finally shaken off the previous haze. At this time, she stared at Maka, stretched out her slender finger and pointed to his nose. "Don't you know that so many people care about you? If you're not careful, what can you do for those who worry about you? Say to yourself, is there anything wrong with my slap?"
"That's right! Of course, that's right! You're always right, sister. It's me." Marca smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, I'm wrong... I'll be more careful in the future."
