Chapter 1284

For Maka, this night may be very long. Because when almost everyone... Including Haier Bo, is moving forward step by step with the passage of time, all he has to do is go back.

Because, since the effect of the stone ball has been tested, it seems that it is time to find a way to complete some things that have been delayed.

"... dad?"

When Maka's figure disappeared in place with the rotation of a small hourglass, Delphi in the St. Mungo ward suddenly opened her slightly closed eyes and stood up as if she had noticed something.

"Fei... Miss fisher?"

Although Delphi did not disclose his true identity due to some inconvenience, everyone knows the surname "Fisher".

Otherwise, people just want to call her, and they don't know what to call her.

At this moment, hearing Delphi rising from her chair, Hermione, who had not fallen asleep again since Marca left, couldn't help calling her.

"What happened?"

Through the starlight between the curtains, Hermione looked at Delphi in the corner, as if in some doubt.

When Delphi heard the speech, she realized that she seemed to stand up uncontrollably, but she seemed to be at a loss. She was stunned and shook her head gently.

"No," she said, lowering her voice slightly to avoid disturbing the others who were sleeping. "It's okay... It's just a nightmare."

"Hmm..." Hermione habitually shook Luna's cold little hand along the edge of the bed, and then got up and said, "Miss Fisher, since you have a nightmare, I think you can't sleep? Why don't we go out for a walk and say a few words?"

"Well, that's not necessary... Right?"

Delphi was so hesitant to answer, but found that Hermione by the hospital bed didn't seem to listen to her answer at all. She was already going to the door before she finished.

After Hermione silently opened the door and stood in the light from the outside corridor, she silently turned back and looked at Delphi again.

The look in her eyes was obviously a sign for Delphi to follow her footsteps.

Although she didn't know how Hermione, who had been guarding by the hospital bed all this time, suddenly wanted to talk to herself, let alone what the other party was going to say, Delphi, who was ignored and refused by the other party, followed up.

Soon, they left Luna's ward one after another and walked slowly to the bathroom at the other end in the quiet corridor at night.

However, it was Hermione who invited her to speak, but she didn't speak for a long time. Delphi saw that she didn't talk much, and naturally she wouldn't take the initiative to say anything.

So they passed the long corridor in a strange silence and came to the ladies' bathroom at the end of the corridor.

Compared with Hogwarts, which has maintained the ancient castle style for many years, the toilet in St. Mungo is actually closer to the Muggle decoration concept.

The white wash basin, clean anti-skid floor tiles and the whole large mirror make the already large bathroom look quite spacious and transparent. St. Mungo is a hospital. Even the magic hospital pays attention to hygiene. There is even no smell in the bathroom.

It must be said that this is actually a good place to talk... Except it always feels a little cold.

Standing a little by the sink, Delphi looked at Hermione in the mirror and whispered after closing the door with a backhand wave:

"Hector... Miss Granger, what did you call me out to say?"

To be honest, Delphi didn't want to say anything, because there were few things that could be said now.

But on the other side, Hermione, who was looking at her in the mirror, finally spoke.

"Miss Fisher," said Hermione, "why don't you just call my name as you used to? Don't you, I and Luna have long been good friends?"

It would be nice not to mention Luna, but Delphi was shocked when Hermione said the name "Luna".

Fortunately, she was good at disguise and didn't show any unnatural expression on the surface.

"I'm sorry... Hermione," Delphi said slowly after pausing, "because I think you seem very serious, so I subconsciously took it more seriously."

"Really?" Hermione nodded. "Well... Indeed, what I want to ask is a very serious question, and it may embarrass you."

As she was saying this, she suddenly shook her head again.

"But I still want to know - who are you and what's your relationship with Maka?"

"I can't say that," Delphi said immediately. "I know that you are very confused, including my sudden appearance and the fact that I have been with him for so long. Even if he hadn't often hinted that people don't care about my existence, you would still wonder if I was Haier's man."

"But on this point alone, I think I can tell you clearly," she said, looking at Hermione. "I'm just an ordinary person who wants to help him."

In fact, in terms of magic power alone, Delphi can certainly not be called "ordinary people".

But she always felt that she was just an ordinary person... Well, maybe she would be better than most people in combat, but that's all.

Hermione seemed a little dissatisfied with these answers, but she didn't bother about the origin of Delphi's identity in the end.

After all, this is what Maka said in person. She didn't believe in the "windbreaker Wizard" like Luna from the beginning, but she always believed Maka's words.

After a slight pause, Hermione suddenly turned to say:

"Well... Why don't you follow Maka now? You know that this should be the most dangerous and critical period. If my ability was not too low, even if I went out, it would only be a burden. I would have gone out with him to fight with those Haier Bo's men."

Delphi's strength is now obvious to all, so in Hermione's view, her greatest role should have been the strength that ordinary people can't have.

But for Delphi, his strength can only be said to be average.

In fact, she had seen many wizards who were more powerful than herself in that era of chaos. Among them, in addition to some anti halbo forces that rose up in troubled times, of course, there are people like Maka who are regarded by her as relatives or friends.

Who can survive in such a chaotic world without some real skills?

However, in the face of Hermione's doubt, Delphi can't disclose the truth. After a little deliberation, she quietly explained:

"Hermione... I've actually done everything I should do. Believe it or not, we can't help Marca next."

This is undoubtedly a rather empty explanation. No matter how sincere Delphi said, Hermione obviously couldn't accept it.

She doesn't know who the windbreaker witch named "Fisher" is, let alone what the other party is doing. At first, she said she wanted to help Marca, but now she said she couldn't help him. This contradictory statement made Hermione more and more confused.

What is the reason why Miss Fisher is so vague?

Up to now, even if Marca endorsed it intentionally or unintentionally, Hermione's inner hesitation is still accumulating. If she had not also decided not to interfere with Maka's actions arbitrarily, perhaps she would have been unable to resist some impulses in her heart.

After a moment, Hermione sighed:

"Maka put a blanket on you before she left... That's why I can trust you. But... Trust belongs to trust. It's only for your people... But I don't believe what you say."

At this point, she gave a slight pause and then said:

"So I just hope you can tell me something frankly -"

Delphi listened and said with a pursed mouth:

"Ask! But there are some things I can't say... It's for his safety."

Hermione listened and remembered Delphi's words, but she didn't show any personal thoughts about it. Even after Delphi finished, she continued as if she hadn't heard it:

"I think you and Marca should have known each other a long time ago. Then can you tell me something about his past?"

"If you think something is important and can't tell me, pick something useless... I just hope you don't lie to me."
