"mean!"

Before Haierbo's figure disappeared, Delphi waved her wand angrily. However, a series of ice picks penetrated the chest of the fading figure without any hindrance, severely smashing through the wall behind, and issued a

A series of roars.

The black and white wall then collapsed, leaving a huge hole.

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Riddle. And, I wish you good luck..."

After watching Herbo leave freely, Delphi slowly lowered the arm holding the wand and stood there in silence.

After waiting for a while, she turned her head slightly and looked at each other with Maka, who had been standing at the door without moving.

"he's gone."

"Um."

When Maka heard this, she nodded expressionlessly.

"When he is on the 'side' of the mirror, he will not be aware of the specific situation on the 'inside' of the mirror."

"oh?"

After Maka heard this, she frowned again.

"I came in through the loophole I created when I came here last time. He didn't notice it at first."

"What?"

Not long after Delphi said these words, Maka's expression finally changed. He continued to frown and smacked his lips, as if he said suddenly:

"So, it's my fault?"

"No, it's my fault," Delphi said, and couldn't help but pursed her lips, "You were right when you said something just now that the 'last resort' is really 'clumsy'... No, it's very stupid.

! Not only did I forget to finish what I should say, but I was stupid enough to write a supplementary letter to you... I clearly know your strength very well."

Although we still don't know how the two of them were able to "set up a show" with each other without any prior preparation, there is no doubt that Maka and Delphi were just acting.

Moreover, it was naturally performed for Haierbo.

"Forget it, let's put this aside for now! I still have many things to ask you, but I'll put those aside for now..." Maka waved her hand and said, "Do you have any means to stay out when you come in?"

"Stayed."

"I've kept it too... Let's go now! Let's see which one works."

Maka turned her head and glanced at the bed in the room. The empty bed meant that there was no point in staying here.

And just after Maka and Delphi left this old house with holes, about ten minutes passed, and Haierbo's figure once again appeared above the city in the mirror space.

Immediately, a suppressed and angry cold snort was heard in the air, and the figure immediately disappeared without a trace.

…

At the same time, London was outside.

Still at the bottom of the deep pit dug by Maka, two figures quickly jumped out and landed on the ground next to the pit.

"Let's go, go back to St. Mungo's first."

"etc!"

Maka was about to leave, but suddenly felt the back of his robe being pulled. He could only stop and turn his head to look over.

"What's wrong?"

"I...I'm not going to the hospital anymore," Delphi looked away and lowered his head slightly. "I'm going to Diagon Alley to help."

"No," Maka said immediately, "Didn't I say it? I still have many things to ask you."

"My plan has completely failed due to previous negligence, so you can ask whatever you want." Delphi said, suddenly looked up at Maka, and said softly, "But can't you go to Diagon Alley and ask?

?”

"Why do you have to go to Diagon Alley," Maka said with a slight frown when she saw her procrastinating and refusing to leave, "What will happen over there?"

"No, it's not"

Delphi quickly shook his head, and then looked away again.

Then, Maka heard her suddenly change the topic:

"Um... how did you realize that I was pretending to defect to Haierbo earlier? It was obviously a temporary plan I decided on... Even I didn't expect that at the last moment of the plan, I would be killed by Haierbo.

Discover."

Although Delphi's change of topic was a bit abrupt, as she said, this was indeed a very confusing place for her.

Even though she reacted quickly and took the initiative to cooperate with Maka in an excellent scene, in fact she had more confusion in her heart.

Even thinking about it now, she still found it a bit incredible.

"Huh?" Although Maka was a little surprised by her state, after thinking about it, she shook her head slightly and said, "How could I possibly notice it in that case... I just realized that something was wrong in advance based on your performance.

"

When Delphi heard this, he immediately recalled:

"Is it because of the last letter I sent?"

"Well, there is a reason for that. After all, even if you are still slightly grateful to me for leaving you as a 'descendant of Voldemort', you won't think of giving me a supplement afterwards. It's so important.

information."

After a short pause, Maka continued:

"Of course, the most important thing is actually not this..."

"I must say that you did a very good job. Even I can't do it better than you. Because at the beginning, I really didn't expect... But if you really want to completely deceive me

, you shouldn't act so perfect...I mean, if you really hate me that much."

Speaking of this, Maka couldn't help but look at Delphi, and then said:

"And, do you know? I see too many traces of 'me' in you...the use of cooling runes, the way the wand is made, the habit of hiding the wand in the sleeve, and the 'lust'

'Soul rules should be the rules contained in the cursed substance I extracted from Willie's body bit by bit, right?"

"It's really hard for me to believe that a person with traces of me everywhere on his body is actually the person who hates me the most in the world!"

This last reason can be said to be entirely Maka's personal opinion, without any basis. But it was this last reason that turned out to be the key to his doubts.

When Delphi heard him say these words, the hand holding his robe tightly trembled suddenly, and her eyes immediately turned red.

And then, she took a small step forward and whispered in a trembling voice:

"……dad."

"Oh, no, no, no, don't call it that." When Maka heard this, her expression changed. "I...well, you see, you and I are almost the same age now. This title...I can really bear it."

Don’t come!”

"But, Dad"

Seeing that such a big girl was about to shed tears in front of her, Maka opened her mouth, and finally sighed slightly and gently pulled her into her arms, and patted her head carefully.

"Well, yes, it's dad..." He said softly with a stiff face, "Dad is here."
