"...Okay, let's do this for now! Old Mr. Rossi, after Mrs. Maxim and I have settled all the affairs in the rear, I believe you and your Excellencies must have prepared the army. Then, we will immediately

Set off!"

At the entrance of the tent, Hermione, who had finished the discussion, was sending several of her collaborators out of the tent one by one. However, her demeanor, which was neither impatient nor arrogant, made people feel reassured.

, and it also helps her gain more trust from everyone.

If Maka could see this scene, he would definitely feel more satisfied!

However, after temporarily sending several outsiders here out of the camp, Hermione's face, which came in through the door again, had lost its calmness just now, and her slightly frowned eyebrows showed that she still seemed to have something.

Worry.

Harry, who was standing by the tent door, was probably still disturbed by his thoughts when he mentioned Voldemort before, but Ron, who was also standing by the door, immediately noticed Hermione's strange expression.

But before Ron could ask, he saw Hermione walking quickly inside and speaking before him:

"Neville, Hannah, actually just now I saw that you seemed to be discussing something in a low voice, and your expressions were not quite right. It was just that the two heads of the family and the big housekeeper were present, so I didn't ask directly - what's wrong with you? Did you notice it?

What happened that I didn’t notice?”

Hermione's words immediately caused everyone else in the camp to turn their heads and look at the two people in the corner - three people to be precise, because Sarah was also there.

Over there, Neville and Hannah glanced at each other subconsciously after hearing this. After a slight hesitation, Neville hesitantly said to Hermione:

"Hmm... Actually, it's nothing. After all, it's possible that Hannah and I were overthinking it... But didn't you just tell them that you thought Maka might have just kept Haierbo's soul to track, so she only

Did you choose to capture him? But you see, he not only handed over the decision-making power of how to deal with Haierbo to you, but also handed over the important task of leading the army to your hands... I think everyone can see that.

Come on, Maka thinks you have the ability to do all this well enough, or at least you will definitely not be much worse than himself!"

"Yes," Hermione was startled, perhaps remembering Maka's encouragement to her before, "He did say that to me at the first party."

After murmuring like this, she looked at Neville again and said, "So? Is there something wrong?"

"Uh, no," Neville paused and said, "I just wanted to say... will Maka quietly leave us... at some point?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present could not help but be stunned for a moment, even Harry, who was leaning against the door and was a little distracted.

Yes, that's right! There were too many worrying things before, most of them were very important things, so everyone was almost distracted, so that simple answers like this were almost forgotten.

People noticed - Maka entrusted almost everything to Hermione this time. While encouraging, he also didn't forget to praise and praise. Has such a thing happened before?

So, does this mean that Maka, who finally returned to her side, plans to leave everyone alone?

Just when everyone had various thoughts and worries about this, Sarah, who was sitting in the corner behind Neville and Hannah, suddenly said:

"Don't worry! He's not going anywhere."

Sarah's words immediately caused everyone's eyes to focus on her, but she could feel that there were still more or less doubts in most of these eyes.

"Don't believe it?"

"No, of course not!" Hermione said quickly, "Of course we believe you, Sarah. But, you know, after all, it has already happened once, and something like that happened in the middle... To be honest, I

They no longer know what is real and what is false.”

After Sarah heard this, she shook her head.

"You are right to say that..." She said quietly, "In short, I have asked him this question in person before, and he also told me personally that he will not suddenly do it again this time.

Disappeared. Moreover, I think you should also know that in order to destroy Haierbo's Horcrux, he will obviously have to do it himself in the end, right?"

"Ah!" Ron nodded suddenly, "Indeed."

"If you are still worried," Sarah finally said, "if you see him again later, you should go find him in person to confirm!"

…

Over at the central tent, the friends were somewhat reluctant to return, but felt uneasy when thinking about whether they would leave again.

In fact, Maka was somewhat aware of their conflicting moods not long after they woke up.

But as Sarah said, he plans to launch a formal counterattack this time, and during this journey, there will undoubtedly be many places where his strength will be needed. Otherwise, Harry and the others would have to rely on him alone.

A few fighting forces will definitely not be able to travel very far in that terrible disaster area.

Therefore, of course, Maka will not completely disappear for no reason - although the disappearance during the previous period does not seem to be his original intention.

But before setting off with the army with his friends, he was somewhat interested in having a little chat with the group of intelligent zombies brought by Hermione in the tent opposite -

"...Maka, this is Ms. Splicer. She is a very talented and eager to learn chef! If she also comes to Hogwarts to go to school, I think she will be like you.

Being sorted into Hufflepuff, if you have tasted the pudding she made, you will definitely agree with what I said... Oh, and this one, this is Mr. 'Bingling', what he is best at is

Gatekeeper, I saw him several times when he was guarding the gate in south London. I have to say, he really can stand the loneliness... And, there is this..."

In this temporarily vacated resting tent, Luna was enthusiastically introducing the high-level zombies one after another to Maka. But she was so excited that she obviously didn't notice...or maybe actually

She didn't really care about the subtle and complicated emotions that her zombie friends had when they saw Maka behind her.

"Luna, don't be busy for now, let me ask you a question first!" Maka patted the girl's shoulder and said loudly, "Good afternoon everyone! I think you already know, I am McClain.

, Maka McClain...is a human wizard."
