"Trust me! Dad, if you do, you'll regret it in the future. ”

Delphi said this with a determined gaze. At the same time, Maca's eyes faltered in a rare way.

Seeing Maca standing still, he was stunned and said:

"Really?"

"Yes," said Delphi categorically, "to be honest, the idea actually fits my heart!" If nothing else, I think I'd be in favor of it...... However, it doesn't fit Daddy's usual philosophy, does it? ”

Hearing her say this, Maca couldn't help but subconsciously turn her head and glance at the tube of semi-finished potion on the test tube rack.

Yes, he knew that Delphi was right—if it had been him, he would never have wanted to refine such a thing. Because this practice, even if it cannot be compared with what Helpo did, it is only the difference between fifty steps and one hundred steps.

Perhaps it was because Maca had already understood this that he never told Hermione about it, but chose to hide it.

"Yes, I have to admit that you're right." Maca looked away from the test tube rack and looked back at Delphi again, "But, Delphi...... As you should know, I can't do anything better. ”

"But—"

Delphi pursed her lips and looked at her "father" with some distress - she wanted to find a reason for Maca to abandon the plan, and she didn't want her to bear a sin that she couldn't pay for forever.

Unfortunately, she couldn't.

And since it can't be done, it seems that you can only bear it with your father.

"Dad, I'll be with you tonight, and not just tonight...... I'm not like you in this regard, and I don't feel guilty about doing that. ”

"I know," Maca nodded with a heavy heart, "thank you." ”

Maca had just said that she was going to take Delphi with her, but that wasn't what he did. But this time, Delphi offered to be one of the implementers of this plan.

Seriously, Maca was impressed, after all, the plan was really stressing out for him. Soon, however, he put the matter aside for now, for there was apparently something else in front of him that was even more unsettling.

"Delphi, but...... How did you hear about this plan for me? ”

There is no doubt that Maca never told anyone about this. Until now, the potion in the test tube had only been a half-finished dose, and it was impossible for anyone to guess what the finished product looked like.

But when hearing Maca's question, Delphi did not directly answer it directly, but after a slight pause, the topic suddenly changed:

"Dad, I was walking near the neighborhood where the evacuees lived, and I happened to meet a mother and daughter. I didn't know if they were wizards or Muggles, and I didn't bother asking...... I just had a casual chat with them, and I didn't have any special purpose. ”

"But who knows," said Delphi, lowering his eyes slightly, and whispering, "it was by accident that I discovered something that I had not been aware of before. ”

"Is it a memory problem?"

As Delphi narrated, Maca's brow furrowed slightly, and even more after seeing Delphi nod.

"Human memory is really amazing, when you think something is not so important, it automatically hides in the back of your mind so that you don't notice it easily...... However, those memories that would not be simply remembered have not actually disappeared. It's often there all along, waiting for you to recall it one day. ”

Memory is a part of the soul, and Maca, who has studied the rules of the soul in depth, naturally knows its complexity.

However, with his mastery of the rules of the soul, he always believed that the magic he left on the time turner would be enough to rewrite the memory of the future Delphi.

However, having confidence in one's own magic does not mean that one has the same confidence in a plan that defies the rules of time. The only uncertainty may be that no one knows exactly what will happen in the future.

"Dad, you know what? I found out that I actually speak French fluently...... And as far as I can tell, you don't seem to be. ”

This is tangible evidence.

If the previous battle of Spiral Town was very similar to the "Night of the Living Dead" in Delphi's memory, and it can be said that it can be said that Maca is a reasonable deduction for the future, then Delphi's mastery of the French language today is ironclad proof that the fact is out of Maca's control.

After all, Delphi's memories of the former are only pieced together through many "rumors", while the latter has almost turned into her instinct.

"Wait."

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Maca quickly pulled the time-turner out of her arms. Then, I saw him turn the gold ring of the pendant sideways and look at it carefully.

It can be seen that the words "Delphi McLean" engraved by him at the beginning are still there. Even though more than a decade of years had left signs of wear and tear on the nick, and the magic that had been activated for a long time had disappeared, he didn't find anything suspicious.

If you have to say it...... Is the notch on this slightly lighter than I remembered?

"See for yourself."

Maca shook her head and handed the time-turner to Delphi.

And just as Delphi stared at the converter in deep thought, Maca had already thought of more—it was clear that Delphi's problem stemmed from the rules of time, not the rules of his soul. Thinking about it this way, the previous question of the continuous deaths of Luna and Delphi seems to have a direction that can be explained.

Perhaps, the fate entangled between Luna and Delphi at the beginning has not been completely unraveled at all. Maca's approach only postponed their "inevitable" end again and again.

The inconspicuous battle between Maca and the rules of time has never been decided.

"So...... Noah's Philosopher's Stone could make Luna pass again, but what about the next time? Next time? Maca couldn't help but mutter, "The rules of time, staring at Luna." ”

And even it doesn't seem to be just Luna, because in this time ring, there's also a Delphi!

"Shhhh

Maca took a deep breath and looked at the "eldest daughter" who was slightly bowed her head, and didn't know what to say for a while.

So, both fell silent.
