The time turner was obtained, but Maka couldn't use it right away.

In the future mentioned by Delphi, if he insists on using the converter to go back to the past and try to save Luna, he will be seriously injured as a result.

After that, the British magical world lost the only wizard who could possibly destroy Helbo's ambition, and there was no obstacle to the completion of the demon summoning ritual.

Not to mention how many wizards and Muggles would suffer disaster during Helbo's reign of terror in the future. Speaking of Maka herself, she would eventually disappear without a trace.

In order to prevent the future in Delphi's memory from happening again, Maka knew that no matter how impatient she was, she had to think it through before talking about anything else.

However, reality is always full of contradictions.

Obviously, the longer this goes on, the more variables there will be, and the possibility that he can save Luna's life will become slimmer.

"Yes, getting the time turner is just the beginning."

Maka, who had just returned to London, was standing on the street with a slight frown on her face, her expression full of solemnity. She saw him calm down and think for a moment, and then whispered to himself:

"Anyway, let's find a place to study the time rules first! Now that we have the converter, we can use the backtracking within at least five hours as soon as possible."

But just when he wanted to leave here and find a suitable place to implement his idea, a familiar figure suddenly appeared on the sidewalk in front of him.

"...You found another converter after all."

Maka looked directly at the figure not far away and couldn't help but sigh.

"Delphi, how did you know?"

That's right, the person who came was none other than Delphine Macca's "large" daughter whom she had just unexpectedly met not long ago.

Regarding Maka's question, Delphi, who was wearing a short wizard robe, quickly shook his head.

"Don't worry about why I know it, because I just know it. There is no reason." She said with a serious expression, "I just... I just want to tell you that everything you do is meaningless.

I beg you, don’t do these unnecessary things anymore...Dad, I beg you, don’t do these things that will only hurt yourself.”

Listening to Delphi's words, Maka was silent, not knowing what to say.

There was no doubt that no matter what Delphi said, he would never give up on Luna. But facing Delphi who was pleading with him, his heart became heavier and heavier.

After closing her eyes slightly and calming down, Maka opened her eyes again and looked at Delphi opposite.

"Sorry," he said, "Maybe you are right, what I am going to do may be very dangerous indeed, and it may even cost me my own life. But, no matter how dangerous it is, I have to go.

"

Just as he was talking, Maka paused for a moment, then turned around and said:

"But don't worry...Delphi, I will find a way to create the most perfect ending. Believe me, no matter what, I will try my best to find the most correct way."

"No!"

After Delphi heard this, she couldn't help but clenched her fists with both hands and said loudly to Maka:

"It's not 'maybe', nor 'possible'! There won't be any 'perfect ending'! You can't do it, understand? Dad, you can't change anything!"

"You," Maka looked at Delphi, paused again before saying, "Why do you think I can't do it? In fact, haven't many things changed? Even you standing in front of me now, isn't this a

The most obvious change?”

Maka's words made Delphi involuntarily purse her lips. Was she convinced by Maka? Was she aware of the changes in the past and future because of Maka's words?

No, judging from her hesitant expression, it seems that this is not the case.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Delphi finally lowered his head and whispered in a tone full of sadness:

"Dad... you are wrong. I am still standing in front of you until now, which means that many things have not changed..."

After saying this first, she suddenly sighed again and her mood became even lower.

"Dad, actually I know that your heart has never been at peace after losing Miss Lovegood. It's just because there is still possibility, there is hope, and there are many people who need you, so you will forcefully maintain it.

Maintaining a superficial composure.”

Delphi lowered his eyes and said quietly:

"But Dad, calm down, calm down and think about it! Use your true wisdom and think carefully about why I came here and why I am still here... With Dad's wisdom, the answer is actually

It’s in front of you.”

"Well, no. Dad, maybe you know it clearly in your heart... If you can really rely on the time turner in your hand to change everything, then I... it will be impossible for me to come and say these words to you again, no

?"

As he said this, Delphi suddenly raised his head again, and his bright and clear eyes met Maka's gaze straightly.

Then, he saw her taking a few steps forward and standing in front of him.

"Dad," Delphi stared seriously into Maka's eyes and said softly with a slightly trembling voice, "take a good look at me. What kind of consciousness do you think I have when I come to you!"

"

consciousness.

This is an extremely heavy word.

And when this word is spoken from Delphi's mouth, the meaning it contains will become even more heavy to the point that not just anyone can easily bear it.

Yes, maybe Maka actually understands. He should know that once the future is changed, the Delphi that returns from that future to the present will no longer exist.

In fact, as early as not long ago, in the mirror space created by Haierbo, Delphi was ready to die together with Muriel, the core of the demon summoning ritual.

Because the termination of the summoning ceremony means that the future will undergo huge changes. In the future, she will not go back to the past at all costs, and the beautiful future will not belong to her at this moment.

This was Delphi's realization... She had been determined to die from the very beginning.

"Dad... the rules are the rules, and they will not forgive anyone. The future may be changed, but there must be a limit. We just can't grasp that limit. However, the rules of time will never change. Dare to stand on them.

Those who challenge it in front of it will be mercilessly crushed by it."

Every word Delphi said left Maka speechless.

He knew that what the other party said was all the truth. Including the constantly churning emotions in his heart, his efforts to pretend to be calm, and his stubbornness that almost ignored the facts that were almost obvious in front of him.

Delphi was right. As long as she was still standing in front of him, it meant that the future had not been changed. No, maybe there had been a slight change, but it was not enough to reach the level he expected.

Maka looked at the girl in front of her and was silent for a long time. Finally, she wordlessly reached out and patted her head.

"Then let me think about it again!"

After saying this, Maka passed by her and walked forward along the road step by step.

Delphi subconsciously touched the place on her forehead where Maka had just slapped her, then turned her back to Maka, covered her mouth and coughed twice gently.

She didn't make any noise, just so that Maka wouldn't notice.

However, it was obvious that Maka had obtained the development of the time turner, which still had some impact on her. And it was precisely because of the aggravation of her injuries that she realized in such a timely manner that Maka had finally obtained a time

converter.

After coughing twice silently, Delphi turned her head slightly and silently looked at the back of Maka's leaving figure.

"what are you waiting for?"

Suddenly, Maka, who was almost submerged in the fog in front of her, turned around, looked at Delphi and said:

"Follow me quickly!"

"Ah, um."

Delphi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran two steps and hurried to Maka's side, and then couldn't help but reach out and hug the other person's arm.

"Hey, this... is not good," Macca gently pulled out her arm with some embarrassment, "Look, you are so old after all... right?"

Delphi pursed her lips and looked at Maka with some resentment. Not long after, Maka was defeated in her disappointed eyes.

Maka raised her hand and said helplessly:

"Just the sleeves, no more."

Before he finished speaking, Delphi grabbed his sleeve and a smile appeared on his lips.

In the gray fog, the two silhouettes that seemed to be about the same height were gradually obscured bit by bit, and quietly disappeared on the other side of the street.

"well……"
