"'Little Girlfriend'... Yes! Girlfriend..."
Ron chewed the word in his mouth twice, and suddenly felt a bad taste in his heart.
He wasn't feeling sorry for Hermione who couldn't get what she asked for, nor was he feeling sad that he had chosen to let go. He just suddenly realized from Noah's unintentional words that what had happened in recent years had made Maka seem to have been alienated from the emotions that should have belonged to him.
That's right, Ron suddenly realized that things like relationships can be entangled no matter how entangled they are.
Happiness, regret, sadness, pain... these are the rights of those who love and be loved. Even though they are definitely not all wonderful, at least everyone still has the energy and the spare time to experience and experience them for themselves.
However, Maka McClain has gradually lost this right that everyone should have.
Therefore, when even liking someone becomes a sin, letting go becomes the only reliable option... Maka's advice to Ron back then may have been more tactful than this, but Ron now Understand that this is what it actually means.
And now, Maka has made a similar choice for himself. If you think about it carefully, all of this is simply natural.
"Dude, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Ron was lost in thought as he walked and didn't speak again for a while, Noah couldn't help but stretched out his fat hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Huh?" Ron came back to his senses, then shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing! Oh, speaking of Luna, I just wanted to go to the room above to see her again... What do you think, can we come together?"
"Oh, of course! Everyone is a friend once we meet each other. Since I'm here, I must go over to visit." The fat man said this first, and then hurriedly said, "But before that, what do you think? Please tell me first what happened? Was Miss Lovegood injured?"
"this-"
To be honest, Luna's current situation is really hard to explain. Because even though Ron was present when Mr. Blois was examining Luna, apart from knowing that Luna seemed to be suffering from some kind of "magic imbalance disease", he didn't know the specific cause of the disease.
"Let's talk first. I can only give you a rough idea, because we are all confused..."
…
Coming out of the "botanical garden" cultivated and arranged by Willy herself, Ron had already roughly told Noah about Luna's situation. After that, the two of them returned to the castle together and walked to the room where Luna was.
Soon, when the two of them came to the corridor, they found Neville and a maid standing stupidly at the door of the room. The two looked at each other from time to time, not knowing what they were doing.
"What's wrong? You... Neville, why are you standing here and not going in?"
"Who is this-"
Neville looked at Noah, who was extremely fat and conspicuous, and seemed to be somewhat impressed by him. However, he quickly put this doubt aside and immediately stood in front of the two of them and said:
"Ah! You can't go in now - Hermione and Hannah are helping Luna do some daily cleaning and wiping, and they asked me to stay here."
"Is that so?"
Ron nodded quickly, and then glanced at the young maid standing aside.
"Then why is this... this young lady standing here? Is it to stare at you?"
"Ron!"
Neville scratched the back of his head helplessly, not bothering to refute, because he had long been used to these little teases of his own, and knew that Ron was just joking.
On the other hand, the maid who stood nearby and remained silent waited for them all to finish speaking before respectfully and seriously explaining to Neville:
"Mr. Longbottom is a gentleman. Miss Granger and Miss Abbot let him guard here out of trust. As for my words... because the two ladies hope that they will do it for Miss Lovegood with their own hands." Daily care, so I can only stand here and wait.”
Having said that, she specifically added at the end:
"Also, my name is 'Carman'. Mr. Weasley, please just call me by my first name."
Facing this maid who seemed to be particularly serious, Ron could only nod his head wordlessly to show that he understood.
"Carman, Ron was joking with me just now—"
At the same time that Neville said these words, everyone heard the door to Luna's room finally being opened gently from the inside, and then Hannah poked her head out from inside.
"Huh?"
It has to be said that Noah's figure is so eye-catching that most people will involuntarily cast their eyes on him the moment they meet him.
"Uh... Kaman, you can come in and push the car away."
"Okay, Miss Abbott."
After the three boys in the corridor watched the maid Carman enter, and then push a trolley out, and then walked away along the corridor after leaning slightly to salute, Neville took the lead to face Hannah who was standing at the door. asked:
"Can we... go in?"
"Um...oh, that's it!"
Hannah, who was staring at Noah curiously, came back to her senses and finally nodded in response. On the other side, after getting Hannah's consent, Ron dared to lead Noah into Luna's room.
"Ron, I knew it was you from the voice just now..."
Hermione, who was sitting next to Luna's bed, heard footsteps and immediately turned around while talking, but right after her, she saw Noah coming in behind Ron.
"Oh, are you... Mr. Hohenheim?"
"Yes, Miss Granger," Noah responded hurriedly, "I just arrived here at noon and planned to stay here for a few days. I heard Ron talking about Miss Lovegood's situation before, so I thought I could Take a look."
"Thank you," Hermione stood up and nodded politely, "Luna has always liked making friends with people. She will be very happy if she knows you are coming to see her!"
"Of course, I know how it feels because I like making friends too!"
While Noah was talking to Hermione, he glanced at Luna lying on the bed.
To be honest, he really just came to visit the patient and didn't think about anything else. But since he heard Ron talk about Luna's "illness" on the way here, he made some discoveries that made him have to think about it.
Especially now, after seeing Luna in person, combined with the symptoms of "magic imbalance" that Ron just mentioned, an idea suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart.
Yes, maybe... He can cure Miss Lovegood's illness!
