Maca needed to be firm in his heart, so he went to Xenophilius and sat down with him for a quiet chat.

Yes, he's here to chat with the other party, and it's okay to talk about anything. Because maybe only when facing this one of Luna's only loved ones can he let himself temporarily put aside his two successive defeats and start this third trip to save Luna more resolutely and confidently, right?

After all, only he knows his own affairs, and he has faced Luna's death twice in a row, so that he, a "coward" who still forces himself to maintain his composure on the surface, is already very scared.

He only came to see Xenophilius once, and promised him that "Macka McLean will protect Luna Lovegood", and through this oath in turn filled the crack in his heart.

If he hadn't continued to strengthen his mental defenses like this, his guy named "Maka McLean" would probably have collapsed eventually...... On one page of the original Book of Sin, it is clear that the fact that it has not happened, but it does not mean that it will not be repeated.

"I know, and I believe what the boy said...... So, what else? Did he just ask you to come and talk to me about this? ”

Is Maca's promise important? Of course it's important! But there seems to be something more important behind the promise than it is, isn't it?

Xenophilius, though he was always a little confused and clumsy, had a minimum of common sense and knowledge beyond the strange research he loved.

Especially, once something is going to be related to his daughter.

When there was a lot of danger around him, Maca McClane suddenly sent someone to promise him that he would protect his daughter, and this sudden and abnormal situation would probably make even the most stupid person can't help but think about it.

So Xenophilius now wants to know his daughter...... What exactly did you encounter?

It's a pity that it is obvious that Maca will not be able to explain the situation to the other party.

It is impossible for him to say to Xenophilius that Luna is facing a crisis of death; It is even less likely to tell Xenophilius that Luna had actually "died" twice; He couldn't even tell the other party that Luna was in the central plaza not far from here.

He couldn't say anything superfluous, unless he was tired of being alive and wanted to challenge the eternal majesty of the rules of time.

Therefore, he is only here to chat, and he can only be here to chat.

"I don't know, Mr. McKellen didn't say much to me......"

Maca sat by the window, looking out the window at the alley where there was no one and sighed softly.

"You know, he's busy for all of this...... And it looks tiring too. He has too much to do and too many people to save. ”

He paused for a moment, and then continued, "But even so, if Miss Lovegood is in danger, he will rush to her side at once, though he is not sure what he is for. ”

As Maca muttered these words in front of Xenophilius, she was dazed, and seemed to be a little absent-minded.

Honestly, he'd probably forgotten that he was still wearing a disguised appearance.

Fortunately, I don't know if Xenophilius is really slow in this regard, or if his mind is already full of his daughter's affairs, and he doesn't seem to notice Maca's anomalies for a while.

After a moment of silence, he seemed to recall something, and said slowly:

"I see...... If it was McLean, I would still be reassured. What's more, Luna's child seems to finally have what she wants to do. ”

Xenophilius was undoubtedly a very special man, and although he was saddened by his wife's death, he did not regret it.

Because he believed that his wife, who had loved all his life to study magic spells, would never regret it at the last moment of his life.

And now, when his daughter Luna also has her own direction in life, all Xenophilius can do is to silently support her behind it.

But......

"What does she want to do?"

When she heard Xenophilius say this, Maca was puzzled. Maybe all he was thinking about during this time was how to deal with Helbo, so he even forgot to "see" and "listen" to Luna's heart.

And Xenophilius ...... He was Luna's father after all, and even though he had been able to see his daughter few times lately, he would have been more aware of certain changes in Luna than Maca.

"yes!" Xenophilius thought for a moment and said, "Sir, please tell McLean!" Just say...... I believed him, just as Luna's kid must have believed in him. ”

This was probably the most solemn sentence Maca had ever heard from Xenophilius since she first met him...... Yes, even the outlandish arguments he wrote on "Singing and Singing" are far from comparable.

"Okay," Maka paused, then nodded, "he'll hear that, I promise." ”

From then on, in this small living room, Maca spoke to Xenophilius. Only this time, he was not strengthening his will and confidence, because just the words he had just dealt with were probably enough to make his heart no longer waver.

So for the rest of the day, he just waited for the time to come.

I don't know how long later, suddenly, a messy footsteps mixed with noisy human voices came from the street outside the alley.

……

The immutable fact is still playing out, and the young wizards who are said to be moved are gathering in the central square one after another, just like the "past" that Maca has experienced.

Luna hadn't re-entered the Mercury statue at this point, after all, even if she thought it was interesting, she couldn't do anything right now, and it was boring to just stay inside.

Neville ...... Hermione looks busy, huh? Don't we have to help her? ”

Behind the statue, Luna and Neville were whispering discussions as they watched the growing crowd in the plaza. Right now, Hermione, Ginny, and Lola, the girl they didn't know, were walking back and forth in the crowd, trying to keep the crowd in order.

Hearing Luna ask, Neville hesitated, but quickly shook his head.

"Or don't you? I think...... In the past, we may not only not be able to help, but we may have caused trouble for them. ”

"Oh, really?"

Luna tilted her head, as if seriously considering the possibility Neville had mentioned. After a moment, she nodded solemnly and said:

"Looks like that's really the case!"
