Chapter 2488 Let Us Fight Side by Side

Of course, he still remembered the first night under the starry sky and the night wind blowing his clothes.

That night, he stood side by side with this ignorant girl with a touch of agility on the open grass in front of the house, and chatted speciously about his yearning and the yearning for the magic school she was about to enroll in a year later, as well as The longing and imagination of the magical magic that the two will learn.

The two children who also lost their mothers just looked at the starry sky like that, and one said that he wanted to delve into the mysteries of magic so that both of them could see their mother again. So the other showed a quiet smile, saying that although it was dangerous, it was indeed a way.

Today, the girl has gradually grown up, and all kinds of experiences and tribulations have also made her original pure mind grow. But after so many years, the girl who has grown a lot taller still seems to have the clear and spiritual temperament like a cloud sarong and a moon.

"Maka, have you found that way?"

At this moment, the girl continued to talk about the original topic abruptly. Even though it seemed endless after a few years, it fell into the ears of the former boy as if he smelled the cool night breeze of that night again all of a sudden. How could he not remember.

But now, the girl is still that girl, and the boy is still that boy.

It's just that some people or things seem to have changed little by little unconsciously, making everything no longer as simple and beautiful as yesterday.

A moment of silence passed, and Maca, who had always maintained a faint smile, lost the smile for the first time tonight. He didn't care about other people's expressions any more, he just looked at the girl with long pale blond hair who was still waiting patiently from a distance, and said seriously in a very rare way:

"Do you wish I had found it, or did you wish I hadn't?"

He didn't affirm or deny, but instead asked a question like this, throwing the question back to the girl.

The dialogue between the two left everyone in the hall a little confused. But at this moment, everyone obviously hasn't figured out what to say, so no one tried to intervene, but just watched the follow-up development silently.

And the girl, that is, Luna, didn't answer the question after hearing the rhetorical question thrown back by Maka on the high ladder. She thought about it, then nodded calmly and calmly as usual, and answered the other party's gaze:

"It doesn't matter to me, as long as it's what you want, that's fine."

"Really?" Maca paused, and suddenly his tone became a little low, "Even if the 'road' I found, might it tear everything apart?"

Luna heard the words,

His expression remained unchanged, as calm as before.

"Yes!" She nodded again, looked at him and said, "Although we all love each other deeply and everything we know deeply, everyone and I know that your love for this world is no more than ours. Anyone less, much more. So just know that's exactly what you want, and we'll definitely support... eh, Hermione? Neville? Harry?"

At the end of her speech, she scanned the other friends one by one with her calm and natural gaze, and stayed on each other for a few seconds every time she called up a name.

However, her intuition, which has always been inexplicably accurate, seems to have suddenly failed at this moment. On the faces of Hermione and the others, there was no expected affirmation, but more of a struggle with deep hesitation.

After a few seconds of silence, a few people such as Neville and Hannah nodded hesitantly, but the sporadic responses made the atmosphere even more subtle and rigid.

Luna blinked her eyes, and after circling the eyes of many friends, she finally returned to Hermione standing on the steps.

The next moment, she was seen walking slowly out of the crowd in the center of the hall, passing Snape in front of her, and came straight to the stairs.

She stopped at the place where she was only a few feet away from the steps, and she would step up the steps with just one more step forward. She raised her neck and stared at Hermione, who had already turned around, and said with some doubts:

"Hermione?"

The fair "competition" with Hermione not only allowed Hermione to gradually understand Luna's various behaviors and ideas with unique thinking, but also made Luna get closer to each other, allowing her to get a The real friend she always wanted.

It is precisely because the "friendship" between the two parties can be said to be directly based on their relationship with Maca, so after removing certain factors for the time being, this friendship—whether for Hermione or Luna— Only then is it more pure and special.

However, the two girls who have managed to establish a friendship are after all two people with very different personalities. When encountering some major choices that are enough to touch the values ​​of life, the contradictions that were temporarily pressed in the past are destined to resurface irresistibly.

And there is no doubt that the choice that everyone present tonight must face is too important, so important that even if the other party is his former student, junior, best friend, teacher... or even the person he loves, It is impossible to give up thinking, credulous and blind obedience based on "trust" alone.

not to mention……

"Maca!"

On the stairs, after Hermione and Luna looked at each other for a few seconds, it seemed that they couldn't resist the extraordinarily pure eyes of the other party, and suddenly let the latter go, and suddenly turned to look back.

"Are you serious? Hasn't it occurred to you—"

Looking at that tall figure, many words came to her lips, but she couldn't say anything. Because she, as one of the few people closest to the other party, knows the wisdom and knowledge of the other party deeply, so even if she has a stomach full of words to question and refute the other party's words just now, she understands what she can think of. How could Maca not think of something?

So why?

"why!"

Finally, Hermione couldn't help but cry out.

Of course she is willing to believe in Maca, and believes that partners such as Harry and Ginny who have not yet agreed with Luna are the same as her, but who can interpret a trust to an incomparable thoroughness and completeness like Luna? Does it even seem that principles can be outdone?

Yes, to a certain extent, maybe she can, or... rather, she hopes that she can do it. But at this moment, when she tried to fight for it, she found it extremely difficult, even painful.

"Maka," so she had no choice but to confide in her heart, "Don't carry it alone...no matter what the difficulty is, let us face it together! You see, we have all grown up, and we can even Hunt down powerful and terrifying demons. We... are no longer weak classmates who can only be protected under your wings."

"Maka, let's fight side by side together, shall we?"
