"Actually, I killed Miss Lovegood."

When this sentence came out of the mouth of Delphi, who was sobbing incessantly, Maca was really stunned.

Yes, he still vaguely remembers that when Luna was slapped away by Helpo's backhand, it was Delphi who caught her flying out. And when Maca found out that Luna had died on the spot, she was already in Delphi's arms.

In that short time gap, Delphi used what means, Maca obviously has no way of knowing.

But he never thought that Luna's death was actually caused by Delphi's own hands!

Seeing that Delphi in front of her was still crying, and remembering Luna's pale face that had long since lost her blood, Maca couldn't help but feel a little at a loss for a while.

“…… Why? ”

Maca asked in a daze, staring at Delphi's lowered face.

To be honest, he really didn't understand, he didn't understand why Delphi did that...... Or is Luna's death any benefit to her?

No, it doesn't seem to be any good, unless...... A lot of things were lied from the beginning. Her purpose may not be to come back at all to help Maca put an end to Helpo's misdeeds, or maybe she may not even be the future "Delphi Fisher".

Could it be that all this is a lie?

In her trance, Maca shook her head suddenly—all the signs so far were that the girl in front of her was indeed Delphi, and she had already told a lot of stories about the future.

However, it is precisely because Delphi either does not speak at all, or tells the truth in earnest, that the matter that she has put in front of her at this moment seems to have become an undoubted fact.

So...... Why? Why did she kill Luna so ruthlessly?

Obviously, when Maca took her to Hogwarts at the beginning, the first person who took the initiative to accept her and wanted to be friends with her was the kind and innocent Luna!

"Why?"

While Maca was asking questions in a puzzled tone, Delphi suddenly raised her hand and wiped it on her already tear-stained face.

"It's simple, because she has to die!"

"What?"

"She, she must die!" Delphi almost gritted his teeth and repeated it again, and then stared at Maca without evasion, "That's right, if I hadn't secretly made up for it at the time, she really wouldn't have died...... But she will never wake up for the rest of her life. And if she doesn't die, you'll go crazy! You'll use the time turner like crazy to save her! ”

"You know what? Ms. Granger said to me herself, you were a madman at that time! On the surface, he looks calm, but in his bones he has fallen into madness! ”

"Miss Lovegood's half-life state has become your hope that you will spare your life to revive her. You won't spend any more time preparing and no time for Helbo to think about the threat that Helbo poses to the whole of Britain...... All that's left in your mind is the thought of 'get Miss Lovegood back first.'" ”

If Luna were still alive...... What would Maka have done if Luna hadn't died on the spot this time? Not to be specific, at least he will definitely try any possible way to recover when he finds that he can't save Luna.

And among them, it must include the timely use of time converters to grab time.

Speaking of this, Delphi pursed his lips and looked directly at Maca with those reddened eyes:

"But you know what? It's like I said before - you turned the time turner again and again, but instead of saving Miss Lovegood, you were so badly injured that you almost couldn't come back at all! ”

Maca grimaced as she silently listened to Delphi say these words, and at last he said abruptly:

"So, that's what you decide...... Is it a reason to simply kill Luna? ”

"Yes."

As Delphi craned her neck and glared at her red eyes to give such a simple and clear answer, Maca raised her hand suddenly.

"Are you going to hit me? Or are you going to kill me? ”

Delphi still looked straight at Maca, with unwiped tears on her face, and heard her say in an unusually stubborn voice:

"Then kill me! I'm going to die in the end anyway, I'd rather die at your hands! ”

Maka's arm froze.

What to say...... Is it worthy of Tom Riddle's daughter? Not to mention anything else, the resoluteness that can be ruthless and kill at a critical moment is just like Voldemort.

It's just that there is a world of difference between the two concepts.

Voldemort kills, always for himself; And Delphi kills for someone else.

"How do you ...... Can you do it? Maca took a deep breath and looked at Delphi's tear-stained face fixedly, "Is Luna bad for you?" Don't you hesitate when you do it? ”

"Well," said Delphi with tears in her eyes, "but she's just a friend to me...... And you are my most respected and favorite father. You see, in my mind, this choice can't be called a choice at all. ”

When Maca heard this, she stared at her for a long time in a daze, and then suddenly shook her head slightly.

"In that case, why are you crying?"

This time, Delphi didn't speak.

In fact, it wasn't just the crying, as early as when Delphi choked up and said that she was not protected by Maca, those words had already revealed the guilt and sadness in her heart.

In some personalities, Delphi and her biological father are indeed a bit alike, but they are still two very different people after all. Voldemort can naturally kill people without apologies, but Delphi will not be indifferent to this.

After a moment of silence, Maca suddenly turned away, turned her back to Delphi and took two steps towards the edge of the roof. Immediately afterward, I turned his head and asked softly:

"According to what you said, I used the time turner many times before Luna was dead?"

"Yes," Delphi replied simply, "that's what Madam Granger told me. ”

She refers to Hermione as "Ms. Granger", which is naturally due to the fact that, after meeting Hermione in the future, she calls her.

After hearing her affirmative reply, Maca went on to ask:

"Do you know what I experienced when I used the converter so many times?"

"No, I don't know," said Delphi, "and neither does Ms. Granger, and I asked you about it later, but you refused once...... All I know is that you failed, and you failed to save Miss Lovegood. ”

So when Maka got the timeturner before, Delphi immediately blocked it, because she knew that using the timeturner was just a futile effort. Not to mention, it has been far more than five hours since Luna died.

Maca thought silently, and after a while frowned:

"You shouldn't have ruined the timer...... If I could have reclocked in time at the time, even if I couldn't save Luna, five hours would have allowed me to make a lot of attempts. ”

"Look!" Delphi looked at Maca's back and said, "Even though Miss Lovegood is gone, you still don't want to give up...... If she's not dead, you'd be thinking. ”

"That can't be—"

To be honest, Maca didn't really know what to say about Delphi's choice. Of course, he couldn't accept the truth that Delphi had killed Luna, but ...... What can he do with Delphi?

For one, Delphi's intention was not for herself at all, but for Maca; Second, she has been ready to die in this era before she came, and even now she has reached the point of bent on death.

However, Luna's death still made Maca's heart ache after all, and the feeling of sourness and bitterness in his chest made him feel a little breathless.

After a while, Maca suddenly waved her backhand and sighed:

"Delphi, you go back first! I'm going to be here alone for a while. ”

Behind him, Delphi was still wiping away some tears that still couldn't be stopped, and when he heard his words, he just nodded silently.

Although she still wanted to say something, in fact, at this moment, she and Maca may need some time to sort out their feelings.

So she finally closed her mouth and bit her lower lip and turned her head away from the rooftop.

After leaving Maca alone and entering the stairwell leading to the roof, she closed the door and sat down on the staircase steps as if she had lost all her strength.

The dim stairwell quietly hid the tears on her face with shadows, and also the bitterness in her expression.

Actually, she shouldn't have said those things just now. As long as she didn't say it, Maca wouldn't know the truth about Luna's death, and he might be able to face the impending crisis more calmly.

However, just as Maca had asked her why she was crying, Delphi had already accumulated too much pressure in her heart.

Luna was such a good girl, but for the sake of Maca, she had to make this girl die literally. Otherwise, there is no possibility of changing everything in the future.

However, the guilt still haunts Delphi's heart, not only for her guilt for Luna, but also for Maca's apologies.

"I have done nothing wrong," said Delphi, sitting on the steps, faintly, "and...... I don't even want my own life, as long as my father is okay, what's the problem with taking one more life? ”

Beyond the fog, the sunset in the west is gradually sinking into the horizon, and the prelude to this third night will come quietly.

In a trance, Maca felt that the whole world had completely darkened.
