Using the time converter can not save Luna, but even kill herself - up to now, this warning from Delphi may be more credible than the prediction of any prophet.
Unfortunately, as Delphi said, Maka is actually a stubborn person. Whether he doesn't know how to choose or not, or whether he is confident and firm, when the critical moment comes, he often only follows his own principles.
For example, Luna's life, he can never allow himself to give up.
"Dad, I know... Even if I have told you all this, even if I keep begging you from now on, you can't change your mind. But I won't give you the time converter - even if I die, I won't give it back to you."
"You must understand that I am your daughter, and my temper is as stubborn as you!"
With that said, Delphi tightly pursed her lips and straightly met Maka's line of sight. It can be seen that her eyes are full of determination.
When Maka saw this, she opened her mouth several times in a row, but in the end she closed it.
To tell the truth, he rarely met someone like this who left him speechless, but this time, he really had no choice but to take Delphi.
Among other things, Delphi's strong concern for him had deeply touched his heart. As an orphan who has not been able to taste the taste of family affection for many years, it is enough to move him.
Moreover, fundamentally speaking, Delphi is also an orphan. And the life she has experienced is probably more difficult than Maka's own life.
In this case, he really can't bear to force this extremely strong "daughter".
So after a moment of silence, Maka finally silently bowed her head, and then stood up again from the opposite side.
"... you've worked hard for a long time. You've done a good job. I... well, I'm really proud of you. Don't worry about things outside. I'll deal with them. Everything you say will help me a lot."
As he spoke, he took out several magic medicine bottles from his waist and gently put them on the bed.
Before, Delphi had exposed his concealment of the injury, so it was obvious that Delphi himself, who had often crossed more than ten years in one fell swoop, would certainly have a lot of damage.
Only because she was so careful that no decisive change had taken place in past, theoretically speaking, she might not have been hurt as much as Maka.
After all, Maka saved the whole school at one time.
"I have to talk to Harry and Neville now. You can actually sleep a little longer and remember to eat later."
Seeing that Delphi was still staring at herself, Maka had to smile at her and then walked out of the room.
Delphi watched the door close slowly, and felt that Marca had gone down the stairs. It was like losing all her strength and lying on her back on the bed.
"Sure enough, it's impossible for Dad to give up - especially when halbo's demon calling ceremony continues, he has more reason to stick to his determination."
"... damn, what am I doing after spending so much time and effort!"
Before the words fell, Delphi clenched his fist and hammered the quilt hard. His exquisite face was full of helplessness.
……
"Didn't you come down with you?"
When lupin found Marca walking alone from the stairs, he asked - it can be seen that he had brought out several desserts from the back, which was obviously intended to be eaten for Delphi.
"I told her to have more rest."
Maka didn't show anything different in front of lupin - there are enough things for him to do right now, such as those things that haven't got a clue. There's no need to say it to make trouble for him.
Lupin can't do anything about Luna. Even if he just tells him helbo's real plan, it will only annoy him.
Marca paced to the bar, picked up a small plate of scones, turned and walked to the door, picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Where did you find it?"
He said vaguely and quickly walked out of the bar. Obviously, he didn't intend to know the answer to this question at all.
When lupin saw it, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
On the other side, Marca, who had just walked out of the front door, handed the dessert dish to Harry.
"Come on, eat some sweets. You can relax a little. Even if the gatekeeper's work is very important, you should know how to relax moderately. Being nervous all the time will reduce your adaptability."
"Oh! Uh... Marca?"
Probably because Marca didn't make a sound whether she opened the door or came out, so that Harry almost waved his wand at the dish when he saw it appear.
Maka saw that after a shock, he turned his head towards himself, and raised the plate in his hand again. After Harry took a piece from it, he stuffed the whole plate into Neville's hand.
"Finish this dish of dessert and then get ready! Just now lupin told me that Kingsley was going to Buckingham Palace to meet the Muggle Queen - he should come in a little while, and then you two will follow him!"
"Oh, queen?"
Harry's eyes lit up when he heard it.
He grew up in a Muggle family. Although he also showed strong adaptability after contacting the magic world, the Muggle world still occupied a large part in his heart.
So when I knew that I was about to meet the queen, I couldn't help getting excited.
"Yes, Queen," said Maka, "and the Muggle prime minister will probably appear at the same time - Neville, then you will stay with them and protect them with some Aurors."
"Ah?" Neville hesitated when he heard the speech. "Marca, in fact, I want to fight the black wizard with Sirius."
"No," Marca shook her head immediately. "Do you think it's not important to protect the Muggle queen? I can tell you, this task is a hundred times more important than you think!"
After a brief meal, he immediately explained:
"Listen, although this disaster was triggered by the magic world, it has already involved more than half of the Muggles in London. And you must understand that the world is still dominated by Muggles... Especially in recent years, Muggle society has developed rapidly. If there is no accident, the best result for wizards in the future can only be to completely integrate into the Muggle world."
Of course, the premise is to survive the biggest accident of Haier Bo! Otherwise, with Haier Bona's ancient magic from the peak of witchcraft, the whole world will become a mess.
In that case, whether Muggles, wizards or even Haier Bo himself, I'm afraid he will suffer a great crime sooner or later.
To be honest, Maka never underestimated the power of modern Muggles.
"Well, it's too early to say these words now." he opened his arms, patted Harry and Neville on the shoulder, and then turned around. "In short, you two should be careful next. Don't be careless because your strength has improved a little - don't be hard on your scalp for trouble that can be solved without hands, do you hear?"
"OK."
Neville bowed his head honestly, while Harry on the other side couldn't help saying:
"Neville's mission is complete. What about me?"
"You?" Maka shrugged when she heard the speech. "You're not in my charge! After Kingsley talked to the queen, let him arrange things for you! Well... Take your sword and don't disgrace Gryffindor's reputation!"
"Of course!"
Harry was relieved to hear Marca say that.
However, it is true that with the sharpness of Gryffindor's sword, he is bound to become the first sharp sword of the order of the Phoenix. Those collectors who are almost invulnerable in defense have to rely on Harry to pry open their "tortoise shells"!
After taking another scone from the plate in Neville's hand, Maka waved her hand and said:
"When the matter is over, I should go... See you later!"
Leaving the door of the Leaky Cauldron bar, Marca, with her back to Harry and Neville, dissipated her lightness.
Obviously, the lightness he showed just now was only used to make Harry and them less worried and nervous. But in fact, he himself was equally heavy.
Needless to say, since there is no time converter from Delphi, Maka can only find it elsewhere. Moreover, after knowing the possible bad consequences of using the converter this time, how to avoid causing himself too much harm and successfully save Luna has become two things he must consider carefully.
Coupled with the devil summoning skill of Shanghai Erbo and the meteorite that is about to fall to Hogwarts, the burden on Maka's shoulder has been heavy to an unimaginable extent.
However, if he doesn't do something, who can replace it?
After all, Maka likes the world very much, including those lovely and amiable classmates, friends and elders around him... Of course, what he likes and girls who like him.
Therefore, he is willing to bear this burden until there is a competent and responsible person to replace him.
"Don't dream!"
As she walked, Marca suddenly remembered Dumbledore's old face, which made him shake his head and put aside his expectations.
"Speaking of it, Delphi seems to have concealed some things from me... Alas..."
In fact, he can feel that it must not be a small thing, but it has little impact on what he has to do now.
