Chapter 21 The Gift of Benitez

"Father Hundan! Come out here!"

After finally returning to the orphanage and pouring the big fish he caught into the fish pond in the kitchen, the silver-haired little Luoli went straight to Benitez's room without any hesitation.

If Benitez hadn't made any suggestions behind what happened today, she would never have believed it.

Whether it was Professor McGonagall's method of drugging her or Dumbledore's way of fooling her with delicious food, they were all based on Benitez's advice.

"Open the door! You, Father Hundan, who betrayed your children, you dare to betray me, don't you dare to open the door?"

boom!

Elena kicked the door of Benitez's room aggressively, making a loud noise, and then... remained motionless.

Facts have proved that such a thing as kicking in the door requires an important prerequisite - first of all, the door cannot open outwards.

It hurts, it hurts~~

Feeling the heartbreaking pain coming from his toes, the silver-haired little Luoli subconsciously pursed his lips, a layer of mist quickly formed in his eyes, and he felt increasingly aggrieved. He sat down on the cold stone steps outside the door, holding his arms in his arms.

The knees were curled up into a small ball.

Obviously, after she left Benitez's room, some older cat lady must have made a dirty deal with some unscrupulous priest, completely selling her off.

Zhiqua~

The wooden door slowly opened, and soft orange light came from inside.

"Sigh... Anyway, let's talk about it inside the house first."

Benitez glanced at Elena, who was sitting on the stone steps with her back to him, and sighed helplessly. He knew that with this girl's character, she would definitely lose her temper when she came back. The man walked out of the door and squatted down.

, his hands went through the girl's knees, and without any explanation, he directly carried little Luoli into the room.

Ouch~

The irritated Elena turned her head without hesitation and bit down on Benitez's strong arm. Gritting her teeth bitterly, she took the initiative to break away from Benitez's arms and sat down.

Said angrily on the bed.

"Who asked you to mind your own business? When did I say I wanted to go to the magical world?"

"So you've decided to go to...um...Hogwarts?"

Benitez rubbed the tooth mark on his arm nonchalantly, closed the door, and did not answer Elena's words. Instead, he asked in a gentle tone.

"What else can I do? I have made an unbreakable oath, and it is impossible not to go now."

The silver-haired little Luoli raised her left hand in annoyance. Fortunately, she argued hard and did not sign a too harsh contract. Overall, the result was not bad.

"Look at you, don't you really want to learn magic? It's time for you to fly to a wider place."

Benitez raised the corner of his mouth and rubbed the top of Elena's head vigorously.

In more than six years, she grew from a little kid to an almost eleven-year-old girl. No matter how resistant Elena seemed to be in words, the desire and hesitation shown in her eyes and body movements could not be concealed at all.

he.

Benitez knew very well that the only thing that would prevent Elena from going to the magical world was actually his bond with the orphanage. So when Professor McGonagall visited, after learning a little about the magical world, he

He immediately expressed great interest and cooperation.

"Don't rub my head, I won't grow taller..."

Elena shook her head slightly dissatisfied, trying to break away from the control of the big hand above her head. She did not refute Benitez's statement. Neither did Benitez when it came to wanting to send her to school elsewhere.

First time mentioned.

"So, what are you doing?"

Elena's eyes slowly swept across the room - the whole room was more than twice as messy as when she left in the morning. It looked as if Benitez had rummaged through all the cabinets and boxes.

Comes out the same.

Benitez stood up straight, touched the stubble on his chin, and spread his hands in a matter-of-fact manner.

"Of course I will help you pack your luggage. If you were asked to pack it yourself, you might be like last time, stuffing a small quilt in your small school bag in the middle of winter and wanting to run away from home."

"Huh? You know!?"

Elena's face froze, that was probably her most failed time running away from home. Before that, she thought everything was going on unnoticed.

"Don't forget what you did when you sneaked to the lake at night before that."

Benitez felt a little pain in his forehead when he mentioned this. Fortunately, Elena is finally going to the magic school. According to the description of Professor McGonagall and the magical magic she displayed, at least there, Elena

Lina should feel a little more at ease.

After all, in Benitez's view, a group of adult wizards with advanced magical abilities should have no big problem controlling a little girl.

And being among peers who also have magical abilities, Elena should be able to make a few friends. Teachers in public schools have said more than once that although Elena looks like a child, she is actually always wandering around.

The periphery of the collective.

"I don't know anything about magic. However, I do know a little bit about boarding schools, and I have already prepared them for you."

Without continuing to recall what happened back then, Benitez returned to the topic, dragging two huge black suitcases from behind as he spoke, and patted them proudly.

"Uh, you cleaned it up..."

Elena raised her eyebrows and looked at the messy room with suspicious eyes. It was really hard for her to imagine that a clumsy man like Benitez who couldn't even fry an omelette could master the tidying up.

Luggage is such a difficult skill.

Facing Elena's questioning eyes, Benitez smiled slightly, squatted down with a calm expression, and opened the first black suitcase.

"I specifically asked Professor McGonagall. Hogwarts will arrange accommodation for students. However, you are a delicate child and I was worried that you would not be able to sleep on school bedding, so I specially put two sets of clean bedding for you.

with pillows.”

Benitez first took out two sets of folded down quilts from the suitcase. Although the corners were a little fluffy, they were already the most luxurious configurations in the orphanage.

"I'm not that squeamish. Besides, there are no wizards who bring quilts to school..."

Looking at the two sets of bedding that took up half of the suitcase, Elena's expression was slightly stunned, and then she immediately snatched it from Benitez's hand and defended with some embarrassment.

Before Elena could finish speaking, Benitez took out a thick pile of clothes from the suitcase like a treasure, and excitedly handed it to the silver-haired little Luoli and said.

"Then here are some daily clothes... and underwear. In the afternoon, I went to the city again and bought a few clothes you like. It should be enough for you to wear this semester."

Before she had time to drop the quilt in her hand, Elena took a look at Benitez's so-called "a little bit" of daily clothes and felt weak. There is no doubt that the remaining half of the box was used to put this [a little bit].

】Clothes.

The most important thing is that the new clothes Benitez bought - two sets of Lolita outfits, two sets of plain fashion short-sleeves, one set of denim style mix and match, and three sets of casual dresses - are good-looking, but there is nothing about them.

One can wear it at Hogwarts!

Elena briefly imagined it in her mind. In the corridor of Hogwarts, among a group of young wizards wearing black robes, a sports girl wearing a short skirt, short sleeves and sneakers suddenly appeared. That scene was simply too...

No more magic.

If any professor sees it, they will definitely deduct points directly, right?!

"No! No! No! The style of painting is too strange. Everyone in the school wears big black robes..."

Elena threw down the quilt in her hand and was about to grab the clothes in Benitez's hand when she suddenly made a move - wait, what are everyone wearing under the wizard's robe?

She suddenly remembered that in the original book, when poor Professor Snape was in school, after being struck by the Golden Bell, he seemed to be wearing no other clothes except underwear under his robe.

Speaking of which, neither the movie nor the original work seems to have mentioned what the underlying clothing is under the wizard's robe. Think about it carefully, even if you go into battle in a vacuum, it will be difficult as long as someone doesn't deliberately lift it up.

Was discovered?!

Elena suddenly shuddered, solemnly took the pile of clothes from Benitez's hand, took the initiative to put it back into the suitcase, patted it, and said seriously.

"Well, Father, you are right. I plan to bring one less set of bedding to free up space, and add a few pairs of leggings, jeans, and daily small clothes."

As she spoke, a question came to Elena's mind unconsciously - how much fabric do the little witches at Hogwarts have under their robes in the summer - this seems worth studying after the start of school.

"Dad, what about the other box? Is it also clothing?"

The silver-haired little Luoli folded the clothes in the suitcase again, turned his head curiously, looked at Benitez next to him and asked.

"I guarantee you'll like it, why don't you take a guess?"

Benitez shook his head inexplicably, pushed another large black suitcase in front of the girl, and gestured expectantly for her to open it for herself.

"Tch, mysterious..."

Elena curled her lips, but her eyes became softer. In her opinion, it was just some normal school supplies. It was unlikely that there would be an accident, but she was really moved.

Snapped!

As the leather buckle opened, the black leather suitcase lid popped up.

"this……"

Elena turned her head with surprise and looked at Benitez sitting on the chair nearby.

"These are all for me?!"

The items in the huge box are clearly divided into three categories:

Paper books are neatly placed on the far left. The two books on the top are "Advanced Mathematics" and "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations".

.

The far right is filled with all kinds of snacks that can be bought in the market, as well as cola, canned products and other products.

In the middle, there lay a set of brand new German Zwilling four-star series knives. Elena had been coveting this series for a long time.

Benitez smiled, gently scratched the silver-haired little Luoli's nose, and ordered lovingly.

"I won't be able to accompany you all the time from now on. Pay attention to safety in a strange world and remember to take good care of yourself."
