"...Okay, let's do this for now! 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 set off immediately !”
At the entrance of the camp, Hermione, who had finished the discussion, was sending several collaborators out of the tent one by one. But looking at her attitude that is neither impatient nor arrogant, not only makes people feel at ease, but 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. When Hermione came in through the door again, her face had lost its calmness, and her slightly frowned eyebrows showed that she still seemed to have something on her mind.
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 family heads and the big housekeeper were present, so I didn't ask directly - what's wrong with you? Did you notice it? Something 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 tell them just now that you thought Maka might have specifically chosen to keep Halbo's soul to track? Did he capture him? But you see, he not only gave you the decision-making power on how to deal with Haierbo, but also handed over the responsibility of leading the army to you... I think everyone can see that, Ma Ka thinks that you are already capable of doing all this well enough, or at least it certainly won’t be much worse than him!”
"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 slightly distracted.
Yes, that’s right! There were too many worrying things before, and most of them were quite important matters, so everyone was almost distracted, so that no one even noticed such a simple truth - Macha This time, almost everything was entrusted to Hermione, and while encouraging, she also didn't forget to praise and compliment her. Has this 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 was still more or less doubt 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 happened once, and something like that happened in the middle... To be honest, I don't think so. I no longer know what is real and what is false.”
After Sarah heard this, she also 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 disappear suddenly this time. Yes. 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, just go find him in person to confirm!"
…
Over at the central tent, the friends were somewhat reluctant to return, but felt uneasy as they thought about whether they would leave again.
Regarding their conflicting moods, Maka was actually 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 definitely not be able to make it very far in that terrible disaster area with just their fighting strength.
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 studious chef! If she also comes to Hogwarts to go to school, I think she will be as popular as you. Sorted into Hufflepuff, if you have tasted the pudding she made, you will definitely agree with what I said... Oh, and this, this is Mr. Ice Edge, his best thing is guarding. Son, when I saw him several times, he was guarding the gate in the south of London. I must say, he can really endure loneliness... Also, there is this... "
In this temporarily vacated resting tent, Luna was happily introducing the high-level zombies one after another to Maka. But she was obviously not aware of it in her excitement...or in fact, she didn't really care about the subtle and complicated emotions that her zombie friends had when they saw Maka behind her.
"Luna, stop working now, let me ask you a question first!" Maka patted the girl on the shoulder and said loudly, "Good afternoon everyone! I think you already know, I am McClain. , Maka McClane… is a human wizard.”
