"Huh...huh...huh..."

In the room, Delphi, who was resting alone on the bed, couldn't help but breathe heavily.

On the night that Harry and Luna left the Burrow, Delphi, who had been injured due to being involved in the battle between two demons, suddenly developed a high fever.

In fact, when she woke up early this morning, she didn't feel it was serious. Because she was injured and tired, it was normal for her body to feel warm under such circumstances.

What's more, she is still just a Muggle now.

However, after using her injury as an excuse to continue resting in the room for a while, she only felt that her forehead was getting hotter and hotter.

Fortunately, at least the sudden fever did not seem to affect her thinking, and her consciousness was still awake.

"Sure enough, it was during the time when you were unconscious in the woods. Did something go wrong?"

Because at this time, Delphi was unable to sort out her current state. So after thinking about it for a while, she finally locked the most likely source of her fever to the two people she had met earlier.

The devil had a first encounter with the incident above.

It's a pity that because I was briefly unconscious for a moment at that time, I still couldn't figure out any answer to this question that could relieve my doubts.

"Speaking of... phew... when was the last time you got sick?"

Since there was nothing gained after thinking about it, Delphi had no choice but to lie on the bed, looking at the ceiling and thinking feebly - anyway, she needed to rest in the past two days, except for herself, plus here

Everyone here is actually very considerate of each other, and no one will criticize or complain.

"Forget it, what happened in the past... I can't tell the truth from the truth anymore." She tugged on the edge of the quilt and whispered to herself with her eyes half-opened.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, which brought her attention back to where it had wandered.

Not long after, the footsteps suddenly stopped again.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”

There was a knock on the door - it should be the door next door. Delphi remembered that it was Hannah and Luna who lived there these days. But Luna had gone back to France yesterday, and now the room

There is only one Hannah.

Sure enough, right after Delphi, he heard Neville's voice ringing in the corridor.

"Hannah...it's dawn, it's time to get up."

"Already up! Come out immediately, wait a moment."

Because Luna's daily schedule has always been precise, and she also wakes up relatively early in the morning, she usually wakes Hannah up together. Today, there was suddenly no alarm clock, and Hannah seemed to wake up a little late.

As for Neville... was it his turn to stay on duty last night? Delphi didn't pay much attention.

After staying for a short while, Hannah left the room and went downstairs with Neville who was waiting outside the door. The surroundings became quiet again. Although the window outside the window was no longer as dark as at night due to the arrival of early morning.

There is one, but the heavy leaden clouds prevent the daylight in England from getting brighter.

As time passed little by little, Delphi only felt that sleepiness gradually began to surge again.

"Huh...huh..."

However, the feeling of weakness and chest tightness caused by the fever seemed to make her somewhat unclear whether it was the Sandman or something else that made her gradually sleepy and trance-like.

Nowadays, when all sorts of weird things can happen, when he thought that this inexplicable fever might cause him to be unable to sleep, Delphi opened the quilt with all his strength.

"Well."

At that moment, the cool air caressed all over the body, finally temporarily driving away some sleepiness. Delphi pursed his lips, slowly supported his exhausted body and sat up, and then sighed slightly.

"What on earth is going on?" She smoothed her hair along the roots of her hair which were slightly moistened with sweat. When the hair strands slipped between them, only a dry touch was left behind. "Among the demons...

...Phew...are there any individuals who can cause fever?"

When it comes to knowledge about demons, she probably knows the most here, but even so, what she knows is actually very limited.

The unknown often becomes the source of uneasiness.

"Dad...where are you?"

Delphi's consciousness gradually became blurred.

"Squeak——"

She didn't know how much time had passed, but she just felt that it was getting harder and harder to stay awake. And at this moment, the door was opened from the outside.

"Delphi? Delphi, are you okay? Delphi?"

Hearing someone running in from the door, Delphi was still thinking in her hazy consciousness that she originally didn't want others to know, but she was discovered after all.

"Is it Miss Aibo...?"

"Ah! Yes, it's me...ah! Delphi, why are your hands so hot?"

Hannah's voice came faintly in her ears, as if it was very close, yet it seemed very far away. Even though Delphi was vaguely conscious at this time, she still instinctively realized that her current state was indeed not good.

"I...don't know either," she tried her best to open her eyes and looked at the blurry figure of Hannah in front of her and whispered softly, "help me call Ms. Geofeiin...! If it's her, maybe she can

...See something."

Delphi was breathing heavily as she spoke, making people feel as if she would faint completely in the next second. However, she relied on her strong willpower to hold on on the edge of coma.

On the other side, after hearing Delphi's words clearly, Hannah nodded quickly and said:

"Okay, I'll go right away! Just hold on!"

After she helped Delphi lean against the bed, Hannah quickly ran out of the room and rushed downstairs through the corridor - she was originally going to come up and ask everyone to go downstairs for breakfast.

Yes, but now, a breakfast or something is obviously not that important.

"...Neville, don't eat yet! Go and call Miss Geofine back... There seems to be something wrong with Delphi's health!"

"What? Okay...Fortunately, no one needs to run too far today."

The conversation between Hannah and Neville could be heard faintly downstairs, but it was obvious that Delphi could no longer hear such a small sound. She just leaned against the brass railing at the head of the bed, panting.

At the same time, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva that didn't exist.

The heat in her body made her throat so dry that it felt like it was about to smoke.

"Um... Phew... thirsty, water." She murmured vaguely, "It seems, it seems... I have felt like this before? When was that...?"
