Everything seems to have changed, but it doesn't seem to have changed, at least on the surface...... It must not be changed.

After entering the alchemy control chamber beneath the mercury statue, Maca came out of it not long after, and soon left in a hurry.

From the beginning to the end, he never mentioned any plans to Luna, let alone revealed his identity - although, he wasn't sure if Luna's peculiar instincts had detected anything.

Of course, since Luna didn't express her suspicions, her thoughts may have stopped mattering.

After leaving the central square of Spiral Town, Maca did not meet anyone again, but silently slipped out of the underground town that was about to face great disaster, and went to a place that no one expected but himself.

"It's probably a good thing to come out and see the sea once in a while."

At this moment, it is not yet dark, and the sun is still hanging in the sky. On the beach along the coast, you can still see parasols, beach chairs, bath towels and drink bottles scattered on the ground.

On weekdays, it's a popular holiday destination. But due to an emergency evacuation operation not long ago, Muggles were picked up in such a hurry that many of their personal belongings were left on the beach before they could be packed and taken away.

The first thing Maca did when she appeared here was to take out a card with symbolic lines from her bosom and throw it aside.

After that, he slowly walked to a beach table with a large umbrella and sat down quietly.

Looking at the horizon and silent for a moment, he muttered softly again, as if following the first sentence just now:

“…… However, the beach with only one person is still not interesting in the end. ”

It takes at least two people – or rather, two people. After all, Maca has never been a noisy person, and if the beach is crowded with tourists, he is unlikely to come.

Of course, the main reason for the moment is probably that he is waiting for someone.

When a person is waiting with all his heart and mind, he usually has no time to enjoy the scenery, and this is the case with maca now.

After staying in Xenophilius's temporary residence for so long, the two of them chatted and talked a lot, not to mention that Maca refused each other's tea. It stands to reason that he must be thirsty by now, and of course he is.

However, even though next to the beach table was a beach hut that didn't even have time to close the door, and in addition to all kinds of drinks, there were even hot dogs, but Maca didn't even look at it.

He just looked at the sea, at the rippling sea level, and was stunned.

After hours of waiting, the sun slowly set in mid-air behind him, and then silently sank into a mountain-like fog.

A bright moon, rising from the horizon, adds a subtle charm to the night that has just fallen.

"Again...... It's nightfall. ”

Maka, who had barely moved since she sat down, finally lifted her hand resting on the table and gently rubbed her temples.

You will be tired after sitting for a long time, especially when you sit motionless like this, and you are still secretly anxious.

However, he still has to wait, because the time has not yet come, and the person he is waiting for has not yet come.

So Maca still didn't do anything else, he just propped his elbows on the beach table, rubbed his forehead and continued to wait.

So, some time passed.

Suddenly, a slight wave of magic power came from behind him, swept past his location, and spread all the way to the surface of the sea.

"The first layer is broken."

This thought flashed quietly in Makana's slightly dim heart, and it stirred up a slight wave.

After a while, another wave of magic power flew from the direction of Maca's back again, a little stronger than the one just now. But at such a long distance, it already seems very insignificant.

"The second layer is also broken."

Both layers of magic shields have been breached, and facts are facts, and even the corresponding point in time has not changed in the slightest.

However, many things are like this rough sea, maybe the tide rises and falls in a regular way, but the turbulence under the sea is always chaotic, isn't it?

It wasn't long after the second wave of magic passed through here that the card that Maca had initially dropped and was diagonally inserted in the sand suddenly shimmered with a burst of brilliance.

Immediately after, a figure suddenly emerged from the faint blue light, and sat down on the beach unsteadily.

"Huh?"

At night, the originally bright beach also looks a little darker, because the moon is not bright enough to illuminate the beach tonight.

But even if Maca couldn't see the other party's face clearly, and even if he didn't even deliberately sense, just listening to the voice could confirm that it was indeed the person he was waiting for.

"Luna, good evening."

He whispered hello as he finally stood up from the beach table and waved his hand to light a warm campfire in the sand not far away.

Although the weather has been warm recently, the beach is still a little cool at night.

"Maca?"

Luna looked at him stunned, then looked at the shadowy beach around her again, and then said in a bit of confusion:

"How did I get here? Over there in Spiraltown...... Is it okay? ”

"Huh?" Maca paused, then shook her head with a smile, "If you have to say it, it's actually 'related'...... Some people's bodies will hurt, some people's hearts will hurt, and even some people will be hurt physically and mentally......"

As he said this, he couldn't help but subconsciously stroke his chest - in this crisis, there are obviously many people who have hurt their hearts, and even he is one of them.

"However, I think in the final analysis, it will be 'okay', because I am relieved that you are here."

There are some things that Maca can't say, and even if he can, he probably won't want to say it to the girl in front of him, so he can only say something like this.

Luckily, Luna isn't the kind of girl who likes to get to the bottom of things.

"Since Maca said it's okay, then it should be okay!" She got up from the ground, patted the sand lightly, and walked to Maca in front of the campfire.

"I just don't know what to do...... Am I doing a good job? ”

Hearing this, Maca couldn't help but look at Luna's face, which was a little red from the light of the campfire, and nodded affirmatively.

"Of course," he said, "that you are now standing by my side, and that is the best proof of that." ”

And it seems to be the best proof of the results of Maca's operation...... Probably.
