Chapter 1266

The sky in the fog turned to dusk second by second. Sitting on the edge of the roof, looking around, those shadowy buildings are also being swallowed up by the darkness.

At this moment, the two figures sitting on the roof fell into silence.

It can be seen that Maka's two legs hanging outside the edge of the roof are gently swinging, and a thoughtful expression on her face is faintly stacked.

He is thinking, thinking in order not to let himself regret.

HMM... is it worthy of his nominal "daughter"? Not far behind him, Delphi, who was staring at his back, was obviously thinking the same, even for the same reason as Maka.

However, even if the reasons for thinking may be the same, the results they want can be said to be diametrically opposite.

"I won't give up anyone I want to protect, let alone both."

"The man who would do that, not Marca McLean."

These are the last two words that Maka just said.

As for the "two" people to be protected, one naturally refers to Luna. And the other... Seems to be only her Delphi?

No, let alone Luna, at least she obviously shouldn't be "protected"?

Yes, if you want to change that desperate future, it will inevitably lead to the demise of her time traveler from the future world.

This is undoubtedly the most obvious rule of time, which has almost been doomed since she came to this era.

It is impossible for emaka's wisdom not to understand this.

"... dad."

What's more, Maka certainly doesn't know that the Delphi standing behind him is not the only Delphi in the world.

If you have to say, she is actually a person who should not appear. Her existence itself represents the misfortune of the whole Europe and even the whole world.

"Dad."

However, Maka ignored the absolutely inviolable rules of time, and even ignored the brova fort that really belongs to this era. She still said those two words.

"Dad!"

Delphi shouted three times in a row before she heard Marka sitting on the outside of the building with her back to her:

"As I said, it's better not to use this here -"

Just then, he suddenly thought, but still showed a slightly helpless smile.

"Forget it, just call it if you want! Although I'm still young, I don't mind having a beautiful eldest daughter like you!"

It can be heard that Maka's words also have a taste of joking. It seems that she wants to dilute the dignified atmosphere just now.

But Delphi didn't take it easy as he wanted, and still stubbornly said:

"Dad... In fact, you know very well that the girl sent to brova fort, France is the real Delphi of this era. And I am just a symbol of great disaster - an existence that must be erased from this era!"

"Dad, don't you know? I hope to have a more relaxed and better life, not a life of wandering in the seemingly endless war..."

"So, even if you want to worry about me, please put your love on me when I was a child in brova castle, okay?"

Speaking of this, Delphi hurriedly wiped some wet eyes and put up with an inexplicable sour nose.

"Seriously," she continued, "Dad, you've always been the goal I've been trying to catch up with, but I still feel out of reach."

"In the future, even if you are seriously injured because of fighting against the rules of time, I have never been able to win you even once in duel practice. Even now, I am almost the same as you in age, and I still can only chase behind you..."

"So for you, if you only need to stop the calling ceremony, I believe you will succeed!"

Listening to these words from behind, Maka could not help closing her eyes slightly and said after a moment:

"Yes! Maybe you're right... What you said is very reasonable."

"Then you do it!" Delphi pursed her mouth, her eyes full of anxiety.

But, with her back to her, Maka even waved her hand.

"But there's one thing I can't agree with --" he said. "Do you really think that you, who are standing behind me now, are the same person as the young you... Who was sent to brova castle?"

Delphi was stunned at the words.

"Isn't it?" she replied. "As long as the future hasn't changed, she and I are the same person; and if the future has changed... Then the present me will no longer exist."

But Maka shook her head again and said:

"No, even if the future has not changed, you and she are no longer the same person."

In strict accordance with the rules of time, every minute, every second, and even every moment of someone is different from the last moment. However, compared with this pure theoretical thing, what Maka wants to say is actually perceptual.

After a slight pause, he continued:

"For me, instead of saying 'you are my daughter Delphi', I actually think 'you are my friend Delphi'... Understand? Because at this time, I haven't even regarded the girl 'Delphi Fisher' as my daughter."

"Therefore, what I want to protect is actually just a 'friend' who is willing to sacrifice for me."

As for this, Maka suddenly stood up and turned back to Delphi. He looked straight at the surprisingly beautiful girl and said seriously:

"See? Just like the 'Marca McLean' in front of you - there may be many similarities, but now I'm not your father."

Maka's words separated the image of "father" in Delphi's eyes, which always overlapped with Maka.

Yeah!

Even if no matter how similar, no matter how there is no great change, a gap that can not be easily ignored will certainly arise in more than ten years.

The fine but hard stubble, the long hair tied up at will, and the cough and wheeze often accompanied by permanent serious injuries... Do not exist in Maka in this era.

In the past, the reason why she overlapped Maka more than ten years ago was that she really missed her father who disappeared for no reason.

But now the gradual separation of the two images made Delphi feel a little at a loss that she didn't feel too much loss.

Looking back, as the "unidentified windbreaker Wizard", she has been with Maka for a long time. Even in many cases, she does regard Maka as her father, but she always unconsciously treats Maka as her peers.

She accompanied Maka through many places, did many things, and met many people. She chatted with Maka casually, discussed with Maka on an equal footing, and even helped Maka in the battle with halbo more than once.

And this kind of feeling, is with the future and that father together, never experienced.

As Delphi stood in front of Maka, recalling the days she had spent with Maka since she came to this era, Maka said at the end:

"You should understand now? What I want to protect is the present you - I don't want you to disappear at all."

However, I don't know what Delphi suddenly remembered. She suddenly recovered from her memories. Then, I saw that the tears in her eyes could no longer be stopped and rolled down.

"No," she shook her head hard and choked. "Even if you say so, it's impossible... I don't deserve your protection. I... I'm not qualified to be protected by you at all! Dad... No, Mr. McLean, you'd better let me disappear like that! I... please..."

This sudden cry made Maka fall into a burst of doubt.

Even if I had thought so much and said so much before, I was about to convince the extremely stubborn Delphi in front of me.

But this time, Maka really didn't expect half a cent.

Seeing this, he frowned slightly, gently held the girl who was crying and could not stand still, and wiped away the tears slowly falling on her beautiful face.

"What's the matter?" Maka said in a puzzled way. "What qualifications are you not qualified for? You don't hesitate to come to this era for more than ten years for me - this reason alone is enough for me to sincerely want to protect you."

But Delphi was still shaking her head, and her face was getting lower and lower.

It can be seen that some words have almost come to her lips, but she can't speak frankly for some reasons.

Maka had noticed this before, but the feeling was particularly obvious at this moment.

"Delphi?"

The chestnut curly hair slightly covered her face because she hung her head, and the slightly trembling shoulders showed that she was still sobbing. Marca had not yet understood why she was crying, but he knew that the reason must not be light.

Unknowingly, Maka's heart was also secretly nervous, even if he didn't know what he was nervous about.

And that was the next second when he felt uneasy in the bottom of his heart. Delphi finally looked up as if he could no longer endure some kind of inner torture.

Look at the hair flying, a pair of red eyes with tears flashing, which implies unspeakable guilt... And a determination that I don't know where to start.

When the wisps of hair sweep across the face, when the white lips gently open and close.

Marca was stunned.
