Did Ursula really not blame Hermione and the others
No, of course not. Although she was indeed born to be kind, that was only if the matter did not involve her beloved sister. If it concerns Safina, then she won't be so easy to talk to.
And once a person who is usually gentle and gentle becomes unreasonable, Hermione and her group, who are equally kind and have a strong sense of responsibility, will probably have a hard time withstanding it.
However, today, Ursula can no longer express her resentment on others.
"You don't have to worry about it," she waved her hand, indicating that Hermione could sit down first, "If you have to say it, Safina is actually semi-voluntary, and... Mr. MacLean treats us... not bad. You can also see Here it is—this body was given to me by him and Miss Hohenheim.”
And when her words settled down a little, and Hermione was surprised and Neville and others were confused, she turned around and said:
"Moreover, now that Safina and I stay at Mr. MacLean's place to work for him, it has become a relatively fair 'transaction'. If you are feeling guilty, Miss Granger, I think this may be It’s no longer necessary.”
"Wait a minute," Hermione didn't bother to sit down. When she heard this, she quickly raised her hand and said, "You just said that this body was given to you by Maka?"
"yes!"
As Ursula spoke, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to caress the delicate and smooth skin on her body, and sighed slightly:
"How beautiful! Isn't it? To be honest, after I looked in the mirror again for many years, I even started to be afraid of my appearance again - this body is so beautiful to me, It feels a little unreal to me.”
"Well... yes, it is indeed beautiful." Hermione nodded.
"That's why I feel even more scared." Ursula said, "You know? In fact, what I'm afraid of is not whether it will return to its original appearance... Oh, Miss Granger, you should be in my original appearance. You’ve seen it before, right?”
"Ah no, no-"
Upon hearing this, Hermione shook her head subconsciously, but in the end she nodded honestly and said:
"Okay! Yes, I saw it by chance."
"Then you should understand that that look is ugly, even 'scary'... Don't worry, because even I think so."
As Ursula said, she couldn't help but smile, two shallow dimples appeared slightly on her fair cheeks.
"However, if anyone wants me to sacrifice my sister in exchange for a beautiful body, I feel unwilling to do so! Even if... it turns out to be so beautiful."
Having said this, she paused for a moment and then said:
"So what I'm afraid of is that I really can't imagine what Mr. McClain exchanged for such a perfect body? What exactly does he want Safina to do for him?"
"Miss Granger," Ursula suddenly straightened up from the position of leaning on the back of the chair, grabbed the wrist of Hermione who had walked in front of her, and said very helplessly, "Miss Granger, what am I doing?" I won’t blame you... So, can you ask Mr. McLean for me, if you can?”
"Miss Geofine."
Hermione discovered that although Ursula's current body looked very gentle and weak, she actually had unexpectedly strong hands. Such a scratch actually caused her pain.
"Oh, I'm sorry... I forgot. Safina obviously mentioned it too. Did it hurt you?"
Ursula's nature was kind after all. Seeing that Hermione was in pain, she immediately reacted and quickly let go of her hand that was holding her wrist.
"It's okay," Hermione rubbed her already red wrist, shook her head and said, "Miss Geofine... I will remember to ask Maka for you after I see him. Although... to be honest , now I don’t know what Maka is willing to say and what she is not willing to say—"
When she said this, she couldn't help but turn around and look at each other with Neville, Ginny and others - everyone saw a little helplessness and confusion in each other's eyes.
Yes, this even includes Luna, who seems to understand Maka all the time.
After a moment of silence, Hermione thought about it secretly, then turned around again and said:
"By the way, Miss Geofine, what about your sister? Where is she now?"
"She went to help Mr. McLean," Ursula said. "After Mr. McLean's... 'transformation', she has now gained very powerful power. To be honest, I don't know whether this is a good thing or not. "
"'Renovation'?"
It must be said that Hermione has encountered so many things that confused and surprised her during her trip to the ancient city of Winchester... Well, sometimes it can even be said to be "scared."
And you must know that if it were placed in the past, what Maka is doing now is simply a series of black wizard actions. Things like "human body modification", "ancient soul magic", "human body refining"... any of them can throw the former Dark Lord Voldemort thousands of miles away.
However, Maka's actions were all to deal with the more terrifying ancient black wizard Haierbo.
"What about Makata?" Hermione thought for a while, and finally put aside her doubts. "We had already gone to see Miss Hohenheim just now, but she seemed 'a little busy' and didn't tell us. too much."
But Ursula just shook her head.
"I don't know," she said. "Mr. MacLean didn't tell us where we were going... I think Miss Hohenheim doesn't know either, because... she doesn't seem to care much about many things now. Unless Mr. MacLean Tell her proactively, otherwise she usually won’t ask specifically.”
"Um...thank you."
Seeing that Ursula seems to be just "borrowing" here, she doesn't understand Maka's current condition. Hermione hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Miss Geofine, then we won't continue to disturb your reading... let's go sit in the middle hall outside for a while. If you have anything or want to talk, you can come to us."
When Ursula heard this, she looked at Hermione and the others again, then nodded slightly and said nothing more.
"Oh, when Maka comes back, I will find a way to ask him."
Hermione repeated her promise one last time, and then led everyone out of Ursula's room. After closing the door for each other, she took the lantern from Hannah's hand, and then greeted everyone:
"Let's go! Let's sit down in the middle hall... and discuss what to do next... To be honest, I'm a little confused."
After saying that, she took the lead in walking back along the corridor.
