Chapter 1265 Is It a Relative? Are Friends? Still Is……

The sky in the mist turned to groggy second by second. Sitting on the edge of the roof and looking around, the shadowy buildings around are also being swallowed up by the darkness little by little.

And at this moment, the two figures on the side of the roof fell into a slight silence as they sat and stood.

It can be seen that Maca's two calves hanging from the edge of the roof are dangling gently, and a face full of thoughtful expressions is faintly piled up.

He was thinking, thinking in order not to let himself regret.

Hmm... Is she worthy of being his nominal "daughter"? Not far behind him, Delphi, who was staring at his back, was obviously thinking the same, and the reason for thinking might be the same as Maca.

However, even if the reasons for thinking may be the same, the results they hope for can be said to be completely opposite.

"I will not give up on anyone I want to protect, let alone both."

"The person who would do that is not called Maca McLean."

These are the last two sentences Maca just said.

As for the "two" people to protect mentioned in it, one naturally refers to Luna. And the other... seems to be only her, Delphi?

No, regardless of Luna, at least she obviously shouldn't be "protected", right?

Yes, if she wanted to change that hopeless future, it would inevitably lead to the demise of her, a time traveler from the future world.

This is undoubtedly the most obvious rule of time, and it is the almost doomed ending since she came to this era.

With Maca's wisdom, it is impossible not to understand this point.

"……dad."

What's more, Maca certainly doesn't know that the Delphi standing behind him is not the only Delphi in the world.

If I had to say it, she was actually someone who shouldn't have appeared in the first place. Her very existence represented the misfortune of the whole Europe and even the whole world.

"dad."

However, Maca just ignored the absolutely irresistible rule of time, and even more ignored the Blois Castle who really belonged to this era, and still said those two sentences.

"dad!"

Delphi yelled three times in a row before she heard Maca who was sitting on the outer edge of the building with her back turned to say casually:

"I've said it all, it's better not to use this here"

Just as he was talking, he suddenly thought about it, but still showed a slightly helpless smile.

"Forget it, you can call it that way if you want! Although I am still young, I don't mind having a beautiful eldest daughter like you!"

It could be heard that Maca's words were slightly joking, as if he wanted to dilute the dignified atmosphere just now.

But Delphi did not relax according to his intention, and still stubbornly said:

"Father... you actually know very well in your heart that the girl who was sent to Chateau de Blois in France is the real Delphi of this era. And I am just a symbol of a huge disaster, a person who must get out of this world." The existence erased by the times!"

"Dad, don't you know? I want to have an easier, better life, not a life of being displaced in what seems to be a never-ending war..."

"So, even if you want to worry about me, please put your love and care on me who was still a child in Blois Castle, okay?"

Having said that, Delphi hastily wiped away some wet eye sockets, and forcibly endured an inexplicable sore nose.

"seriously,

She continued, "Dad, you have always been the goal that I have been trying my best to catch up with, but I always feel that it is out of reach." "

"In the future, even if you are seriously injured because of fighting the time rules, I have never been able to beat you even once in duel practice. And even now, obviously I am about the same age as you, and I will Still can only chase behind you..."

"So for you, if you only need to stop the summoning ceremony, I believe you will be able to succeed!"

Maca couldn't help closing his eyes slightly when he heard the words coming from behind, and said after a while:

"Yes! Maybe you're right... There's a lot of truth in what you're saying."

"Then you just do it!" Delphi pursed her lips, her eyes full of anxiety.

However, Maca, who had his back turned to her, even waved his hand.

"Only, there is one thing I can't agree with," he said, "Do you really think that the you standing behind me now and the young you who were sent to Blois Castle... are the same person? ?”

Delphi was taken aback when he heard this.

"Isn't it?" she replied, "as long as the future remains the same, she and I are the same; and if the future changes...then the present me will cease to exist."

But Maca heard the words, but shook his head again and said:

"No, even if the future doesn't change, you and her are no longer the same person."

Strictly speaking according to the rules of time, every minute, every second, or even every moment, a certain person is different from him at the previous moment. But compared to this kind of pure theory, what Maca wants to say is actually emotional.

After a slight pause, he continued:

"For me, it's more like 'You're my friend Delphine' than 'You're my daughter Delphine'... get it? Because at this point, I haven't even said 'Delphine' Phoebe Fisher' sees this girl as my daughter."

"Thus, what I want to protect is actually just a 'friend' who is willing to sacrifice for me."

Speaking of this, Maca suddenly stood up, turned back and walked in front of Delphi. He looked directly at this surprisingly beautiful girl, and said seriously:

"Have you seen it? It may have many similarities with the 'Maca McLean' in front of you, but I am not your father now."

Maca's words made the image of the "father" who always overlapped with Maca in Delphi's eyes gradually separated.

Yes!

No matter how similar they are, and no matter how much there is no huge change, there will definitely be a gap that cannot be easily ignored in more than ten years.

The fine but hard stubble, the long hair that was tied up casually, and the coughing and wheezing that often accompany the ears because of permanent serious injuries... none of them exist in Maca in this era.

In the past, the reason why she would overlap the Maca of more than ten years ago was entirely because she missed her father who disappeared for no reason.

But at this moment, the gradual separation of the two images made Delphi feel a little dazed that she didn't feel too much loss from it.

Looking back so far, as the "unidentified windbreaker wizard", she has been with Maca for a long time. Even though she does regard Maca as her father in many cases, she always treats Maca as her peers unconsciously.

She accompanied Maca to many places, done many things, and met many people. She chatted casually with Maca, and discussed with Maca on an equal footing. Card help.

And these kinds of feelings were never experienced when he was with the future and that father.

Just as Delphi was standing in front of Maca, recalling the days he had spent with Maca since he came to this era, Maca finally said:

"You should understand now, right? What I want to protect is the current you. I don't want you at all. Just disappear like this."

However, I don't know what Delphi suddenly remembered, and she suddenly came back from the memory. Then, I saw the tears in her eyes finally couldn't hold back anymore, and rolled down in a rustle.

"No," she shook her head vigorously, choked with sobs, "Even if you say that, it's impossible...I'm not worthy of your protection, I...I'm not qualified to be protected by you at all! Dad... No, Mr. McLean, you just let me just disappear! I...please..."

This sudden crying made Maca fall into doubt for a while.

Even though he had thought so much and said so much before, he was about to convince the extremely stubborn Delphi in front of him.

But this time, Maca really didn't expect half a point.

Seeing this, he couldn't help frowning slightly and gently supported the crying girl, who was a little unsteady on her feet, and wiped away the tears that were slowly falling from her pretty face.

"What's the matter?" Maca asked puzzledly, "What qualifications are you not? You have come to this era for more than ten years for me, and this reason alone is enough for me to sincerely want to protect you."

But Delphi was still shaking his head at this time, and his face was lower and lower.

It could be seen that some words had almost come to her lips, but for some reason she couldn't say them honestly.

Maca has noticed this before, but the feeling at this moment is especially obvious.

"Delphi?"

The chestnut curly long hair slightly covered her face because she lowered her head, and her trembling shoulders showed that she was still sobbing. Maka still couldn't understand why she was crying, but he knew that the reason must not be trivial.

Unknowingly, Maca's heart became secretly nervous, even though he didn't know what he was nervous about.

And the next second when a wave of uneasiness appeared in his heart, Delphi finally raised his head suddenly, as if he could no longer bear some kind of inner torture.

Looking at the fluttering hair, a pair of red eyes glistened with tears, which contained indescribable guilt... and a sense of determination that came from nowhere.

When the strands of hair swept across the face, when the pale lips gently opened and closed.

Maca froze.
