"... I must say that up to now, I don't know what is the right choice. But what I want to tell you is that I will respect every choice you make as much as possible."

"Including myself, I think everyone should act and live in the way they want. Whether it is pain or happiness, it will be ourselves who will experience all that from beginning to end, because that is our own future."

"So at least I think we should respect the choices of others, and take good responsibility for our own choices."

In the ward, Maka stood by Luna's bed and said these words to the little friends gathered in the room.

To tell the truth, these are indeed his heartfelt words. They are a truth that Luna, Hermione, Willie and everyone around him gradually understand.

Even if this truth is not fully understood by himself, it may even be wrong at all. However, as he said, this is actually the choice he made in the face of one option after another.

And he will bear his responsibility for his choice.

At this point, makaton paused and then turned to say:

"So from today on, I won't interfere with your choices... Including Harry, I think you must want to do something; and Hermione, I won't deny everything you've learned through the pain. I just hope that everyone should think as carefully as possible and don't let what we don't want to see happen."

"I see," Harry nodded when he heard Marca name himself. "I'll think about it again."

On the other side, Hermione nodded slightly after glancing at Luna on the hospital bed:

"Well, me too."

After that, the little friends expressed their understanding one by one, and even Harry and Ginny fell into meditation on the spot.

Seeing this, Maka suddenly waved and followed the sidewalk:

"Well, I should do what I should do most now... No matter what you want to do next, please remember, be careful!"

On the outside, everything Hermione and pansy have witnessed can be used as a reference.

Marca believes that even if someone like Harry still wants to go out, he will seriously ask them to find out how dangerous London is at the moment.

No one here is so stupid that it can't be saved. After knowing the situation clearly, everyone will wait for a good measurement before making a decision.

Maka didn't speak any more. He shook Luna's pale little hand tightly and said softly in his heart:

"I'll leave first... You just wait here quietly, and I'll be back soon."

……

The time converter that has been around has disappeared, which is undoubtedly a very worrying thing for Maka, who has always had a good memory.

Although he did have little chance to tidy up his things, there were many items already stacked in the leather waist bags with traceless stretching mantra. But even if there are many things, they are thrown in anyway. Where will they go?

However, he couldn't find out what the problem was.

Of course, now is obviously not the time to think about these so-called doubts, because there are still many things he needs to consider.

Before long, Maka said goodbye to all his friends in the ward and hurried out of the St. Mungo magic hospital - although halbo was forced back by him, he was very careful to leave a lot of protective measures before leaving there.

You know, before being a magic hospital, St. Mungo is one of the only wizard shelters in downtown London. There are not only Hermione and Harry, but also more asylum seekers who go to seek temporary asylum, aren't they?

"Click."

A moment later, with a soft sound from the door of black's old house, the door was slowly opened from the outside.

Closely followed, Maka's figure immediately came in through the door.

The appearance of the front hall has not changed since his original cleaning and renovation. It is still so neat and bright.

After entering, Maka didn't stop at first. But after hearing a rush of footsteps, he paused here a little.

"Oh... Dear Mr. McLean, welcome back... Old cliche is here to greet you."

Today's clencher looks more old-fashioned, and seems to walk harder than before. But after seeing Marca, he still bent down as deeply as before, his head so low that the tip of his nose touched the carpet.

"Well, I'm just a temporary thing this time. Come and get something. Do whatever you want. Don't pay attention to me. I'll leave in a minute."

"Oh, old cliche knows. Old cliche will go back to the kitchen to wipe the dirt -"

"Oh, what a pity that Mr. McLean won't stay! Without him, the hostess's house will be left with poor old kretcher and some uneducated fools... And they have the face to stay at home every day..."

In the latter words, clencher was obviously complaining to himself again.

In fact, since more and more people lived in the old house and the family became more and more lively, kliche's problem has gradually improved. Unfortunately, after that, the number of people here continued to decrease, so that his muttering problem seemed to start to get serious again.

Maka shook her head. She didn't have time to take care of the lonely clencher. Seeing that he didn't bother Mundungus in the reception room, she turned and walked to the stairs.

Time converter is definitely a very important magic item. At that time, when Maka went to the mystery Department of the Ministry of magic, five people were taken away at once.

Apart from keeping one of the five time converters with him, he hid the rest in some relatively safe places.

He also stayed in the study above Black's old house for a long time, so he left one of them here.

After entering the room, Maka just glanced at it casually - all the books and documents piled up here were taken away, and the study naturally seemed a little empty. There was nothing to look at.

But without so many eye-catching things, some of the furniture and layout here have suddenly become a lot more eye-catching. You can see the furnishings in the room at a glance.

He just paused at the door and went straight to the old floor clock in the corner of his study.

Of course, things about time are hidden in the place representing time.

This floor clock looks weathered, but the maintenance of magic makes it always walk at the most accurate point. Every swing of the pendulum can make people feel the value and heaviness of time.

If you hide the time converter here, even if there are wizards who can perceive magic and understand rules, you may not be able to detect anything strange from it.

However, when Maka opened the crystal cover of the upper dial and touched it, his face changed.

Is there no time converter here?

No, it's still there, but

Instead of holding it, Maka raised his hand slightly, so he saw a thin and exquisite gold chain, several gold rings with thin shafts, and a small hourglass falling into pieces floating out of it.

Of course, with these "parts" coming out together, there is also a fine black sand.

Originally, the hourglass of the time converter was filled with golden sand, which has the characteristics of natural time rules. The converter is also made based on this precious natural regular material.

But now, they have completely failed.

"Kretcher -"

Maka stared at the badly damaged time converter and suddenly shouted.

There are accidents in time converter again and again, from the loss of one to the damage of this one... It is absolutely unreasonable to say that it is an accident.

Who is it? Who's fighting him? Is this... Another "good thing" done by Haier Bo?

To be honest, no matter from which perspective, Maka can't deny this possibility. Because he knows very well that as an ancient wizard, halbo's "respect" and "fear" of rules are much deeper than him.

After that desperate experience, Maka actually didn't dare to touch the subtle thing of time converter. If it wasn't about Luna's life this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't consider challenging the strict and ruthless rules of time again in his life.

In this way, not to mention Haier Bo, who has a deep understanding of regular runes.

When he thought about it, he didn't want Maka to use the time converter, but he decided not to use it in vain. Haier Bo's choice was to destroy all these things.

Well, maybe you'll keep one for yourself?

Maka didn't know. He only knew that things were getting worse and worse as he went down - what would he do if there were no time converters? What should Luna do when she is getting colder in the hospital bed?

No, he really doesn't dare to think about it.

"Clenche!"

Maka turned abruptly, went straight to the study door and walked out quickly.

"Oh, dear Mr. McLean, may I ask -"

"Tell me all the guests who have been here - that is, people you don't know! Now, say it immediately!"

"Marca?"

Just as Marca urged Kreacher, Mundungus suddenly appeared from the stairs and looked over here secretly.

"Ah, really you're here? I just heard you shout Kreacher... What's the matter?"
