"Luna, you...don't you want to know how Maka is doing now?"

Hermione finally asked this question.

However, Luna, who was making tea, immediately shook her head and said without raising her head:

"I know Maka has been having a hard time recently... but I'm actually more worried about you than him. When facing the dark wizard named Haierbo, he at least has the ability to protect himself, but

That’s not necessarily true for you.”

What she said is indeed to the point - why are Hermione and Harry always cautious? It's not because they are self-aware and know that if they are targeted by Haierbo, in the absence of Maka,

The result would almost certainly be their immediate defeat.

But even so, Hermione couldn't tolerate herself retreating... and Harry and the others were certainly the same.

In fact, not long ago, Luna was infected by these little lions, and she impulsively made some actions that were not very rational.

Until...she accidentally glimpsed some of Maka's emotions.

Even if it was just a moment of understanding, Luna had already understood Maka through her intuition. Luna suddenly realized that even though Maka didn't want to leave everyone deep down, and even felt lonely and sad about it, he still

There is absolutely no reason why I chose to leave.

Therefore, Luna decided to still maintain complete trust in Maka, obediently follow his wishes, and no longer act rashly.

This is undoubtedly something Hermione cannot do...she absolutely cannot bear it, but Luna can bear it.

"Oh, the tea is ready, let's have a meal!"

She suddenly waved her wand and flicked it, letting the teapot float to the table. She poured a full cup of tea for each of the three of them, then put down the kettle and walked over to sit down.

"Hermione? Come on! Dinner is ready-"

Hermione, who was still dazed, heard Luna calling her, and then she went over and sat between Luna and Fleur.

"By the way," just as she picked up the fork, Luna suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to Fleur, "Fleur, you'd better go upstairs to deliver food to Ms. Larson first! She seems to be here now

I'm not in a good mood... Don't worry, we'll be waiting for you here, and we won't steal anything."

"Really?" Furong heard this and immediately said, "What did you hear just now?"

"Well," Luna glanced at the window, then nodded, "That's right!"

"Then...then I'll go up and take a look first," Fleur immediately said apologetically to Hermione, "Miss Granger, I'll go over first. As for you, I think it's best to wait until she feels better before we talk!"

"Um."

Hermione nodded at her.

"Don't worry about me, just go ahead."

Seeing Fleur carrying the meal basket with the remaining food in her hands and leaving the room in a hurry, she turned her head and looked at Luna again.

"Is it 'sympathy'?"

"Yes," Luna said calmly, "Now, as long as there are people within a certain range around me and whose mental strength does not exceed mine, I can feel their surface emotions and sporadic thoughts without their defenses.

.”

"This kind of rule ability sounds inconvenient," Hermione thought for a moment and said, "Will others notice it?"

"I don't know," Luna shook her head, "Some people might be able to do it, right? For example, Maka... maybe Haierbo can do it too, although I haven't tried it yet."

"That means there is still the possibility of being countered, just like when you fainted last time." Hermione said, then frowned, "Be careful and remember not to use it indiscriminately."

"OK."

Luna nodded, then looked down at the dinner on the plate and swallowed secretly.

"Hermione, did Harry and the others have a good meal?" she suddenly asked for no reason.

"Ah?" Hermione couldn't help but be startled for a moment after hearing this. After seeing Luna's greedy look, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Harry and the others? They're okay! The Weymouth camp is the closest.

Let’s start fishing – you know, fresh fish always tastes good.”

"Oh, that sounds... pretty good."

However, although Hermione also thought Luna was a bit cute at the moment, she was obviously not in the mood to joke. After a brief pause, she couldn't help but turn to:

"Luna, actually I have another question to ask you."

"What's the problem?" Luna raised her head after hearing this and said, "Is there anything you want me to do? I can do anything except go find Maka... Of course, if you are going to fight, I may not be able to help you much.

many."

"Uh, no, that's not the case."

Ever since Luna said those words, Hermione had already vaguely sensed that she no longer wanted to interfere with Maka's actions. But now, after hearing her really point it out, she still felt a little confused.

Naturally, Hermione didn't know what exactly Luna had encountered, so she, who had been actively searching for Maka's location not long ago, suddenly changed her original mind.

However, in Hermione's opinion, this might actually be a good thing.

Compared with her, Harry and others, Luna's actual combat ability is actually low. For her safety, staying behind is obviously the right choice.

Thinking of this, Hermione immediately said:

"I actually want to ask you...if I say I want to see Maka, will you stop my mother?"

Just now she actually wanted to ask "What suggestions would you have?", but after hearing what Luna just said, she simply changed it to her current sentence.

On the other hand, Luna quickly shook her head.

"I can't stop you, you know." She said, "So, if you have to go, be careful... remember to bring more people with you, and if you encounter danger, run back quickly!"

As she said this, she raised her arms upside down and made a running gesture.

"Besides... I think Maka may not necessarily want to see you at his side."

When Hermione saw what she said, she was silent for a moment, and then nodded slowly.

"I know... maybe! But I want to see him."

After hearing Hermione's last words, Luna blinked her eyes immediately and was about to say something else. But at this moment, she raised her head and looked towards the door of the room.

The next moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Fleur walked in from the corridor carrying an empty meal basket.

"I miss him too."

After Luna said these words softly, she stood up and greeted Fleur without waiting for Hermione to respond.

"Are you coming down so soon? Is Ms. Larson okay? Come on... Come and sit down first! While the Gordig root tea is still hot..."

Hermione turned around and looked at Luna who was hurriedly greeting Fleur, and couldn't help but be lost in thought for a moment.
