Chapter 1314

"Delphi? Delphi?"

At the table, Maka put out her fingers and shook them in front of the child, teasing her with a smile. Behind him, Luna looked at the scene curiously, and seemed a little eager to try.

Maybe it's because Maka has never been around. Little Delphi is a little wary of the strange man. He doesn't seem to be happy to play with Maka.

Before long, Maka shook her head with a look of regret, then raised her eyebrows and said:

"It seems that even if I want to recognize her daughter, she may not agree, will she?"

"How can we blame our lovely little Delphi?" Cathy holding the child said reluctantly, "it's just that you're incompetent as a father!"

"Oh, okay, okay! I admit that..." Marca shrugged immediately. "Well, let me think... Well! Let me make up a birthday present for our little Delphi!"

While talking, he quickly reached out to his arms and took out a necklace like thing from his chest pocket.

Yes, in terms of time, little Delphi is actually over a year old.

The next moment, a child sitting opposite said in surprise:

"Time converter?"

"Oh, you know it?" Marca's face was very calm. She saw him immediately nod his head. "Yes, the time converter - and it's a very special one."

As he spoke, he held the pendant composed of gold ring and time hourglass and showed the edge to everyone present.

"Look, I engraved the name of little Delphi on it myself."

Cathy, who was closest to me, took a closer look at the speech. Soon she was surprised and said:

"Marca... Are you really going to give little Delphi your last name?"

No matter how she bluffed before, it was just a joke. Because even if she doesn't know the specific life experience of little Delphi, she can't really be Maka's daughter, so she only thinks that little Delphi is the child from where Maka picked it up or entrusted to Maka by someone else.

From Marca's past performance, the smart Cathy always thought that he didn't want to have such an adopted daughter out of thin air.

But now, Marca really gave her last name to Delphi!

"Oh..."

For a time, everyone here was surprised. Later, they couldn't help feeling happy for little Delphi.

Without parents is definitely a very bad thing. Everyone present felt deeply about this. But if, after losing their parents, they get a gentle and powerful father like Maka, it must be said to be a kind of luck.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Cathy, who had just been immersed in surprise, seemed to realize something again and couldn't help shouting.

"Marca, you... Are you coming this time to take Delphi away?"

Obviously, Cathy couldn't bear it - Maka couldn't help laughing at her complex expression with some worry but trying to hide it.

"No, little Delphi will stay here! You'll probably have to work hard in the next days! Well... If you want, you can raise her here."

"Oh, really?" Cathy's eyes seemed to glow. "That's great... Seriously, I thought I was going to watch someone take her away sooner or later... HMM."

Cathy herself was young, but because of her natural precocity, Maka decided to let her help take more care of little Delphi's. But now Marca found that Cathy's motherhood was even deeper than he thought.

As for whether there is Cathy's own nostalgia for her mother, it is unknown.

Of course, Maka didn't think deeply about this problem. The next moment, she saw him stretch out his index finger and draw a few characters in the air towards the little hourglass on the pendant, applying a fixed spell to it.

"Although this thing is precious and beautiful, it's a little dangerous after all... Well, it's no problem."

After poking the hourglass in the middle and confirming that it can no longer be rotated, Maka put the gold chain in front of little Delphi and shook it.

Bright things like this will naturally be children's favorite. As soon as little Delphi saw it, he couldn't help reaching for it.

When Maka saw this, she put it into her hand.

"I remember when I first 'met' her, she also wore a necklace around her neck - it was also a magical object, and it was also related to black magic..."

"Black magic!"

When Maka casually talked about this little old thing, everyone couldn't help turning their attention to him again.

And then I heard Maka continue:

"Yes, black magic - that's why I immediately decided to take the necklace away. Now, it's even my compensation to her!"

"Can't..." Cathy asked subconsciously when she heard him say so. "There was little Delphi's name on that necklace? That's why you --"

"Huh?"

Her words surprised Maka a a little. To tell the truth, what he had been thinking about was something else. He really didn't think of this reason.

Only after a slight hesitation, he nodded immediately.

"Yes, that's right... Anyway, she should have a last name, but the original one can't be used for some reason."

Marca confirmed Cathy's conjecture, but in fact, how could Voldemort think of carving a name on his daughter's necklace?

Even the original Necklace containing black magic only contained his selfishness.

Of course, Maka is not only unwilling to mention this kind of thing, but also lazy to think about it again. Whatever Tom Riddle's intention to leave his daughter a necklace, it won't work today.

Because Marca destroyed that thing long ago.

Putting aside some memories in her head, Maka reached out again and touched little Delphi's hair. Looking at the little guy, she only looked up at him, then immediately focused on the glittering time converter, and Maka smiled.

It seems that because of this lovely little gift, she reluctantly accepted Maka's touch.

"By the way," turning her head slightly, Maka looked at Cathy again. "When she grows up, remember to put it away for her and give it to her in the future."

"You don't have to say that!" Cathy immediately waved her hand and said with an adult look. "I must know how to raise a daughter better than you."

When everyone couldn't help laughing, she stared around, and then she couldn't help giggling.

Perhaps it was only when she smiled that little Cathy really showed a bit of a child's feeling.

When the children around the table were laughing and interrupting, everyone suddenly heard a cry outside the restaurant door, which made them stop laughing and turn around.

"Maka -"

"What's the matter, Willie?" Marca looked at the figure who rushed to the door from one side of the door. Lang said, "fertilization is ready? Hmm? Didn't you meet Helen? She went to the atrium to find you!"

"Helen?"

Willie was probably running all the way, and she was still panting. After seeing her take a breath, she wondered again:

"No... ah?"

"Really?" Maka shrugged. "That's probably the difference between you two."

"Well?"

Willie stood at the door for a while, looked back and forth alternately inside and outside the door, and ran out reluctantly.

Not long after, when everyone found that Helen ran back alone shouting "where's Willie", makaton smiled:

"Are you two playing hide and seek? Hey... Helen, don't run back, just stay here and wait for her!"

Seeing several children who had been rescued from the dungeon, they all came together to tease Helen with a smile, and the smile on Marca's face increased a bit.

But in addition to smiling, when he again moved his eyes to little Delphi in Cathy's arms, there was an inexplicable apology in that smile.

At this moment, in addition to Luna who always stood behind him and silently looked at him, Leng was that no one noticed the slight change in his expression.

"Sorry."

In Marca's mind, the word that once said to the "future" Delphi in San Mungo is flowing again.

What is he apologizing for?

At least for now, the reason is only known by himself. Even Luna, who has a clear mind, has absolutely no way to know.

However, at the next moment, Maka suddenly felt a slight warmth in her palm, and a small hand came up quietly and shook it.

He suddenly looked back and saw Luna blinking her big bright silver gray eyes and a reassuring arc in the corner of her mouth.

"Thank you."

Maka was not surprised by her acuity, but did not make any explanation. He just moved his lips at Luna and silently thanked her.

Soon, when Willie ran in from the outside panting again, Marca finally left here and stepped up with her legs.

He and Luna didn't stay long at Fort brova.

After that, he just sat down with everyone and chatted for a while, asking them how their lives had been recently. After hearing that Mr. brova had arranged a good teacher for them, he inquired about the specific courses along the topic and discussed some courses with everyone at will.

Yes, it seems that he really just came to see everyone this time, that's all.
