For Maca, tonight may be a long night. Because when almost all people ...... While Helbo, including Helbo, was moving forward step by step with the passage of time, what he had to do was to turn back.

Because, since the effect of the stone ball has been tested, it seems that some things that have been delayed should be completed in a way.

“…… Father? ”

At the moment when Maca's figure disappeared in place with the rotation of a small hourglass, Delphi in St. Mungo's hospital room suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes and stood up as if he had noticed something.

"Fee...... Miss Fisher? ”

Although due to some inconveniences, Delphi still did not reveal his true identity after all, but everyone still knows the surname "Fisher".

Otherwise, others don't know what to call her.

At this moment, hearing the movement of Delphi getting up from her chair, Hermione, who had not fallen asleep since Maca left, couldn't help but call her softly.

"What's going on?"

Through the starlight between the curtains, Hermione looked at Delphi in the corner, as if she was a little confused.

When Delphi heard this, she realized that she seemed to stand up as if she couldn't help it, but seeing that she seemed to be a little at a loss, she was stunned before shaking her head slightly.

"No," she said in a slightly lower voice, so as not to disturb the other people who were sleeping, "it's okay...... It's just a nightmare. ”

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

"Well, it doesn't have to be...... Right? ”

Delphi was hesitant to answer, only to find that Hermione at the bedside didn't seem to listen to her answer at all, and was already heading to the door before she could finish speaking.

It was only after Hermione silently opened the door and stood in the light from the corridor outside that she silently looked back at Delphi again.

Look at the look, obviously signaling Delphi to follow in her footsteps.

Although I don't know why Hermione, who has been staying by the bedside all this time, suddenly wanted to talk to her, and I didn't know what the other party was going to say, but Delphi, who was ignored and rejected by the other party, still followed.

After a short time, the two of them left Luna's hospital room one after the other, and slowly paced to the bathroom at the other end of the quiet corridor at night.

However, it was Hermione who invited hermione, but she didn't speak for a long time. Seeing this, Delphi naturally didn't take the initiative to say anything, as she didn't talk much.

So, in a strange silence, the two of them passed through the long corridor to the ladies' bathroom at the end of the corridor.

Compared to Hogwarts, which has maintained the style of an ancient castle for many years, St. Mungo's bathroom is actually closer to the Muggle concept.

The white sink, clean non-slip floor tiles, and a large mirror make the small washroom look quite spacious and airy. St. Mungo's hospital, even if it's a magical hospital, is just as hygienic, and there isn't even the slightest smell in this bathroom.

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

Standing still by the sink, Delphi looked at Hermione in the mirror and said softly after closing the door with a backhand:

"He...... Miss Granger, what did you call me out for? ”

To be honest, Delphi didn't really want to say anything, because there were few things that could be said about what was hidden in her heart now.

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

"Miss Fisher," Hermione said, "why don't you just call me by my name, as you used to?" You, me, and Luna, haven't we become good friends for a long time? ”

It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned Luna, but when she heard Hermione say the name "Luna", Delphi was slightly shocked.

Fortunately, she is good at disguise, and she does not show any unnatural expressions on the surface.

"Sorry...... Hermione," Delphi said after a pause, "because I think you seem to be serious, so I subconsciously take it seriously." ”

"Really?" Hermione nodded, "Okay...... Indeed, I want to ask a very serious question, and it will probably make you feel embarrassed. ”

As she spoke, she suddenly shook her head again.

"But I still want to know - who are you? What is the relationship with Maca? ”

"I can't say that," said Delphi at once, "I know, including my sudden appearance, and the fact that I've been with him for so long, is confusing to you. Even, if he hadn't always hinted that you didn't care about my existence, you wouldn't have been able to help but wonder if I was one of Helbo's men. ”

"But for that alone, I think I can tell you plainly," she said, before she looked at Hermione earnestly, "I'm just a normal guy who wants to help him." ”

In fact, in terms of magical prowess alone, Delphi certainly can't be called an "ordinary person".

But she herself always felt that she was just an ordinary person...... Well, maybe it's a bit better than most people in terms of combat, but that's about it.

Hermione seemed a little dissatisfied with these answers when she heard her say this, but in the end she didn't bother with the question of Delphi's identity and origin.

After all, this is what Maca herself said that there is no need to delve into it, even if she didn't believe in this "trench coat wizard" like Luna from the beginning, but she always believed Maka's words.

After a slight pause, Hermione suddenly turned to another sentence:

"That'...... Why aren't you following Maca now? You know that now is the most dangerous and critical time. If it weren't for my low ability, I would have been a burden even if I went out, and I would have gone out with him to fight those Helpo's men. ”

Delphi's strength can now be said to be obvious to all, so in Hermione's opinion, her biggest role should be the strength that ordinary people can't have.

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

In fact, in that chaotic war era that belonged to her, she had already seen many wizards who were stronger than herself. In addition to some anti-Helbo forces who have risen in troubled times, there are of course people like Maca who she regards as relatives or friends.

If you want to survive in such a chaotic world, who doesn't have some real skills?

However, in the face of Hermione's doubts, Delphi couldn't reveal the truth like that. After a moment's deliberation, she explained softly:

Hermione...... I've already done what I'm supposed to do, and believe it or not, we're not going to be able to help Maca in the future. ”

This was undoubtedly an empty explanation, and no matter how sincere Delphi was, Hermione was clearly a little unacceptable.

She didn't know who the trench-coat witch surnamed "Fisher" was, and she didn't know what the other party was here for. At first, she said that she wanted to help Maca, but now she said that she couldn't help him anymore, and this contradictory statement made Hermione more and more confused the more she listened.

What is it that makes this Miss Fisher so vague?

Even now, even with Maca's endorsement, intentionally or unintentionally, Hermione's hesitation is still accumulating. If she hadn't decided to stop interfering with Maca's actions at will, perhaps she would have been unable to resist some impulses in her heart.

After a moment, Hermione sighed and said:

"Before leaving, Maca also put a blanket on you...... That's what I can trust you with. But...... Trust is trust, and that's just for the people you...... But I don't believe what you say. ”

Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and then said:

"So, I just hope you'll be honest with me about something-"

Delphi listened, couldn't help pursing his lips and said:

"You ask! However, there are some things that I must never say...... It's for his safety. ”

As far as Delphi was concerned, Hermione had heard it in her ears, but she didn't show any personal thoughts about it. Even after Delphi finished speaking, she continued as if she hadn't heard:

"I suppose you and Maca have known each other for a long time, right? Can you tell me a little bit about his past? ”

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