Without Delphi who goes back to this era from the future, Maka can't save Luna. Conversely, if he wants to save Luna, it seems that he must let the future Delphi return to the present.

These two words are just a way for Maka to realize how she should connect everything logically.

In this plan, if the time converter is a "silk thread" connecting the beginning and end of all events, the name engraved on the edge of the gold ring of the time converter is probably the last "knot" he made.

"Delphi, you know what? About half an hour ago, I just put the converter engraved with your name in your hand..."

On the roof, Maka looked at Delphi, who was staring down at the time converter, and said softly:

"Yes, it's you who just turned one year old in this era - to be honest, you looked like you really liked this slightly late birthday gift."

"But sister Cathy gave it to me before she died -"

"Well, yes!" Maka nodded and said calmly, "for you now, it's like this. But in fact, I think Cathy shouldn't be dead... Well, no, actually I don't know. But I have to say, it's really what I left you. The notch of the name is the best proof..."

"Just when you were lying unconscious on the sofa, I carved it myself."

Delphi stroked the letters on the edge of the gold ring, and the subtle touch made her more and more surprised.

"Sorry."

This is the third time Marca has said sorry to her.

"I left a forgetting spell and a false memory on the notch of the time converter. Once the magic on the notch is activated, it will lead you to use the time converter and take the initiative to come to me."

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to - but I have to do it if I want you to live."

Turning your expectations into reality and even affecting someone in the future is absolutely something that can be done only by various coincidences. But under the restraint of the rules of time, it seems to be the only choice to let Delphi get rid of the erased fate.

Obviously, it is more appropriate to say that "the rules of time are forcing him to go this way" than that Maka "came up with such a plan by herself".

Perhaps this is also one of the binding effects of the time rule?

"Dad, I'd like to believe you, but..."

After listening to Maka's explanation, she felt her hands trembling slightly and couldn't stop.

"But," she said, "if what you said is true, wouldn't it mean... Everything I experienced in my memory is actually false? I didn't hate you, I didn't love you, and I didn't spend the most difficult and unforgettable time under your care, care and company?"

"That --"

At this point, Delphi's voice was faintly tinged with a cry.

"How did I get over my ten years of life?"

If one day, when you know you have experienced thousands of hardships, you are suddenly told by someone you trust most that everything you have ever been is false.

Then, will you suddenly have an uncontrollable fear?

What is your past like? What have you experienced, what have you had, and what have you lost? Even, who are you?

Is she really Delphi McLean? Or... Maybe something went wrong during the period, so that she was just another person who accidentally got the time converter?

Delphi is undoubtedly smart, but because of this, she is more likely to fall into this state of self-awareness disorder.

However, this confusion of Delphi, in fact, Maka had experienced it a long time ago.

When he came to this world, the feeling of waking up from a dream also plunged him into the dead circle of thinking. Who is the real self, the self of the last life and the self of this life? Which one is just a dream.

Or, in fact, which one is not yourself?

Even in the first few years of his childhood, he thought he might be in an extremely realistic "lucid dream", so that he almost bit off a small piece of his tongue to try to return to reality.

Therefore, Marca, who had similar rich experience, suddenly opened her arms and held Delphi tightly in her arms.

"You are Delphi - 'Delphi McLean', my daughter of Marca McLean. As long as you remember this, nothing else matters... What's more, if you really care about it, there will be time for you to witness it in the future, won't you?"

It's not like him. I'm afraid it's impossible to confirm who he is in this life. In his case, all he can do is completely forget those messy ideas.

Therefore, he can always look forward and never look back unnecessarily on the roads left behind by himself.

Marca gently stroked Delphi's hair, like a frightened kitten, to calm her down slowly in her arms.

At the same time, Marca herself was still thinking about the "future" picture that Delphi had described to him.

In fact, according to the theory of time line, the so-called "false memory" is very likely to be real. Just Maka's whole plan makes it an illusory future.

Yes, up to now, the stone ball at the top of Maka's staff has not been broken due to the intervention of time rules, and halbo's demon calling ceremony has not been destroyed!

If it goes on like this, there may be some small changes in the future, but I'm afraid there won't be much deviation in the general direction.

If you want to make that bad future completely impossible, Maka must stop Haier Bo's plot and jump to "another" branch line!

"Delphi, are you better?"

Thinking, Maka pushed her gently in front of her by her shoulder and looked down at her face. Seeing the glittering tears on her cheeks, Maka couldn't help wiping them for her.

"If you still feel bad, hit me!"

Maka doesn't know what the future will be like, but he will take good care of his daughter, who is one year older than him. And this may be the source of Delphi's memory of the father who was "very good to himself"?

After all, when Maka created that memory, he really thought so. As for whether this is a kind of compensation or for other reasons, Maka herself is not clear.

"Well," said Delphi, blushing slightly, embarrassed by the way she had just made a fool of herself, "I'm fine... Can I still call you 'dad'?"

"Oh, of course!"

Maka patted her on the head and said with a smile:

"In any case, you are my daughter - memory may deceive people, but what you learn can't deceive people! My ability is not big enough to let you learn so many abilities directly with the score of one name."

While talking, the ice crystal giant bird summoned by Delphi seemed to want to prove all this, and lowered his head to get close to Delphi.

"Yes," said Delphi softly, touching the forehead of the ice bird and feeling the cold, "I learned it myself. I spent a lot of effort and failed many times... Even if I may not remember, it must be so."

"I wish I could figure it out," Marca nodded and then waved her hand. "Let's go! We haven't seen each other for a long time... Er, father and daughter work together to remove all the guys who came out of Haier Bo! Don't leave him any!"

"Yes, father and daughter join hands and leave none!"

Delphi hugged Marca's arm, dragged him to jump onto the back of the ice bird, waved his wings again and dived towards the city below.

Yeah! What else is terrible? It was her father who gave her a reason to completely get rid of the fate of "accomplish nothing but still die".

What "determination to die", no matter how determined, it is impossible to really regard death as home. If she could stay with her father like this, how could she be willing to die?

"Dad, you said... Who should I let be my mother?"

"Cough, cough..."

In mid air, Maka couldn't hold back and almost coughed out her lungs.

……

"Mr. Potter, watch your back!"

When Marca and Delphi were leaving the tall building and rushing down the crisscross street below, the battle between Harry and Thomas became more and more depressed and embarrassed.

Only two or three black pupil wizards can barely cope with it. Even if they are willing to fight, they can take risks to kill one at the right time.

Like the previous one, Thomas took advantage of his absolute power and risked being pierced by the black thorn to mention the opportunity Harry found.

But after that, two of those guys with a pair of black eyes appeared at the same time. A total of four enemies immediately forced them to retreat temporarily.

However, it is not so easy to escape the pursuit of those black pupil wizards.

Harry can fly with Thomas with a broomstick, but the other party can not only fly, but also don't even use props, but the speed is no slower than the two.

Now Thomas, who was looking back around Harry's waist, gave a loud reminder, and Harry immediately pressed the handle of the broom and sank.

The next moment, a sharp black thorn suddenly "shouted" and flew away over their heads.

It can be imagined that if he had been shot just now, it would be possible to string them into a human meat string!

"Harry, be careful, and!"
