Chapter 1559: Private Matters
"Then let's all do it! Hermione, you and Ginny go to the square to explain the situation to the volunteers who have gone to assemble a little more, and maintain order by the way. That one...... Myron: yes? Since you know each other with the people who organized the volunteers, why don't you help out? As for me, it's time to inform the front line - this additional remedial operation will need to be cooperated by Maca's side if it is to be successful. ”
Lupin assigned out the necessary preparations one by one, and the clarity of his organization showed that he was really good at doing this kind of middle-of-the-road thing.
However, after he finished speaking, he saw Delphi, who was not assigned the task, and couldn't help but say:
"Mr. Lupin, ...... What about me? ”
"Uh," Lupin said hesitantly, "if you have to say it...... Actually, we would prefer you to support the front, after all, with your strength second only to Maca...... How so? It's a waste to stay here! ”
Lupin was undoubtedly a kind and considerate man, and he was always good at thinking about others. Obviously, he didn't want to say it in the first place—at least he didn't want to say it so bluntly.
Because he could also feel it somewhat, there must be a reason why Delphi had stayed in Spiral Town.
However, the repeated collapse and retreat of the front line and the inefficiency of the evacuation team in the rear made him a little anxious.
Muggles are human beings, and their lives are not something they can give up at will. What's more, even if we choose to abandon the part of the people who have not had time to evacuate, they will eventually become living corpses and attack us instead.
Who would want to do something like this to add strength to the enemy out of thin air?
It's a pity that Delphi's current physical condition is no longer able to support her to fight against the army of living corpses - this point is probably only known to Maca who is pretending to be "Myron" and herself.
Seeing that Delphi didn't know how to answer for a while after hearing Lupin's words, and Lupin seemed to feel a little regretful after seeing Delphi's appearance, Maca hurriedly took a step forward.
"Mr. Lupin," he exclaimed, feigning surprise, "what you just said...... This young lady is second only to Mr. McLean in strength? Oh, I beg my pardon for being a little unaware of such a powerful witch on our side! Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel a lot more relieved—"
Yes, Maca not only did not relieve the pressure on Delphi, but also deliberately raised her a little more invisibly through words of admiration.
And after two words of compliment like this, he changed his words and said:
"But Mr. Lupin, after knowing the strength of this young lady, I think I can understand her intention in insisting on staying in the town - no matter how tense the battle situation at the front is, Helmo has not yet appeared, and no one can guarantee that he will not take advantage of the fact that Mr. McLean, the only enemy with him, is fighting in the front, and instead come here to attack the rear."
Speaking of this, he shook his head somewhat exaggeratedly and sighed:
"In fact, somewhere in my mind, I've probably been worrying about that happening. It's just that before I learned about this young lady's strength, I was blindfolded by the fierce and dangerous battlefield, and I didn't even notice that there was such a terrible possibility! ”
Although Maca's words were mainly to give Delphi a reason to stay in Spiral, they also contained some of his personal selfishness.
Yes, Maca seems to be unconsciously trying to draw more attention to the situation in Spiral Town than to the battle against the army of living corpses and the evacuation of the Muggle masses outside.
Because for Maca, who considers herself an "ordinary person", the most important thing may be the safety of acquaintances such as Luna, Hermione, and Delphi. The lives of others are important in comparison, but at such a critical time, they must step aside.
It must be said that although the current Maca who has returned back in time seems calm on the surface, it is actually understandable without saying that - how can he still be so calm after witnessing the scene of Luna and Delphi both dying?
Probably even he hadn't realized that his thoughts and actions had already been affected by the scarlet memories of that scene that still remained in his heart.
"Oh, yes!"
Just when Lu Ping couldn't help but think about it, Maca suddenly changed the topic again:
"Lola doesn't seem to have a share of things to do, does she? I guess she'll go to the central square to help out on my behalf! I actually have some personal matters on my side, and I need to ...... with this person Well, the young lady said it. ”
The "this young lady" in his mouth naturally refers to Delphi.
"Private?"
Seeing Delphi looking over with some confusion, Maca suddenly said:
"Yes...... One thing about Marina. ”
Delphi couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard Maca mention the welcoming lady in her temporary residence—although the time spent there was short, almost all the people assigned to live there were taken care of by the other party, and Delphi was no different.
So after being a little stunned, she nodded quickly.
But at this moment, Lola, who was stuffed by Maca to Hermione and Ginny, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but tug at the corner of Maca's clothes and said:
Myron...... I, I can't, so many people ......"
"It's okay," Maca immediately turned around and comforted, "People who are willing to become volunteers must be kind and brave people, don't be so nervous!" What's more, I think there are still a few handsome guys and beauties in this world after all, and they will definitely not make you shy and speechless! ”
"But—"
"Hey! If you want to participate in this operation, this kind of thing will have to be faced sooner or later, right? Go for it! It's time to get used to it! After that, everyone will definitely need to work together as a team! ”
Lola heard Maca's words and seemed to want to say something, but Ginny took her hand and walked out. On Ginny's other side, Hermione hurriedly walked as she spoke:
"In that case, let's go first! Lupin has already sent personnel from the Ministry of Magic to act, and it is estimated that someone will pass over to the square soon, and there is no time to delay any longer! ”
Looking at Lola's pitiful expression when she was pulled away, Maca could only make a gesture of encouragement to her, and then turned around and looked at Delphi who was waiting on the side.
And it was only then that Lupin signaled:
"Then settle your personal affairs first! I'll go and deliver the news to the front, and I'll talk about the rest when I get back. ”
With that, he turned around and walked to the other end of the hall, leaving some room for the two to talk.
"So, what exactly is that thing about Marina?"
Delphi looked at Maca and asked.
