"So, Newt, can you explain to me what's going on?"
Located on the second floor of the tree house, in the guest room that is now temporarily used as Elena's three-person bedroom, Tina Scamander leaned against the wall at the door with her arms folded, and asked calmly, her voice sounding like a deep lake.
, no obvious emotion or anger could be heard.
In front of her, four members of the "Animation Seminar" - one senior, three juniors and one junior - were sitting obediently on chairs or beside the bed, waiting for their turn.
"Mrs. Scamander, actually..."
Elena blinked, looked at the lady who came to check her bed, and explained with a smile.
Although she always boasted that she was fearless, but under the pressure of Mrs. Scamander's eyes that looked like the housekeeper's aunt, she was still a little bit cautious. After all, she was caught on the first day she moved in.
Gather together to watch a movie in the evening.
"Elena, don't speak yet. Newt, do you need a little girl to help you answer your questions?"
Tina's voice was not urgent, but there was a vague pressure.
There is no doubt that this gentle and virtuous lady during the day is obviously a little angry now, but the object of her anger is not Elena, who is responsible for playing the "cartoon", but... a certain old freckle who is not up to par.
!
Newt, who was supposed to urge the children to sleep well, actually ended up taking the initiative to drag a group of children to stay up late to watch cartoons, and even went back to the bedroom halfway, lying that he was going to the magical animal area downstairs to test some ideas.
If she hadn't been worried about the girls catching cold and came over to take a look, Tina would have almost been deceived.
"Ah? Um...well...Tina..."
Facing his wife's gaze, Newt Scamander touched his nose and hesitated.
He actually refused the invitation to "watch cartoons together" at first, but after watching it for a few minutes, he was completely attracted by the wonderful world in the story, so much so that he accidentally watched the entire episode of Quartz Conference
.
However, up until this point, everything was actually fine.
After all, Elena only relied on memory and roughly deleted and changed some plots, so the duration was not too long, and the total time was less than a quarter of an hour... Although it is a bit regretful, since the finale is over
That’s it.
The most terrible thing is...
At the end of the Quartz Conference, Elena played an additional preview of the next issue of "Orange Islands".
You know, Elena is a veteran when it comes to mixed editing.
This immediately made the audience present feel extremely itchy, and they couldn't sleep well unless they watched the following plot.
Not to mention Luna and Hannah, two little luoli who were originally addicted to cartoons and couldn't help themselves.
Whether it's the magical elf ball, or the various magical animals, or even that other world where humans and magical animals live in harmony and blend together perfectly, they also have a fatal attraction for Newt.
Under Elena's instigation, what happened next was natural.
Newt Scamander was also very helpless. He actually wanted to stop it and go to bed after watching the last episode.
It's a pity that there are non-repeating Pokémon appearing in every episode. This is really too addictive. Although the stories are all magical animals that do not exist in the real world, in Newt's mind they are not the same as some magical animals.
The shadows of the magical animals he knew overlapped, forming a fantasy of the future that was almost within reach.
However, some of these things cannot be told to Tina yet...
Whether it is about the founding of the association or Elena's many identities, Newt needs to keep it secret until everything is settled and the girl is not fully prepared to appear in front of the world - these are also the contents of the agreement.
.
only……
As a result, Newt Scamander was a little helpless and didn't know where to start explaining.
After all, before retiring, Tina was an elite Auror working at the Magic Congress of the United States of America. However, if there was any ambiguity or inconsistency, she would most likely find loopholes and follow the whole series of things.
Pull it out.
"Well, let me tell you, Mr. Scamander, you can't hide this from your wife after all..."
Looking at Newt who looked troubled, Elena sighed silently - she didn't know how such a naive wizard could make Grindelwald stumble so many times in a row. It was really unimaginable.
"Huh?" Newt blinked and was slightly startled.
"Anyway, if you have any concerns, let me explain it a little bit."
Before Newt could continue to speak, Elena turned her head to look at Tina Scamander and spread her hands.
"In fact, Professor Dumbledore hopes that Mr. Scamander can return to work and serve as the leader of some magical animal research associations to formulate and clarify some as yet unclear rules and basic systems for this industry."
"Huh?" Tina raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Newt.
"As for what we were looking at just now..."
The wand in Elena's hand waved slightly, and a light pink cat-like elf flew out, flying flexibly around her. Immediately afterwards, a little flightless monster also swayed out.
, raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
"This is a dream, this is Groudon..."
"They are all magical animals imagined by people from the non-magical world. It's just that I used magic to make them move temporarily. In that fictional story, magical animals are closely related to human life..."
"Every family will have a few favorite magical animals, and in all walks of life, magical animals also play an important role like humans. People can travel around with magical animals, and professional research institutions will publish
The authoritative magical animal illustrated book ensures that people can record and understand the magical animals they encounter at any time..."
"Fantastic beast battles have become a peaceful way to resolve conflicts. People exchange illustrations, compete friendly, search for rare magical animals around the world, record and observe them, protect them, and form bonds with them to become partners..."
Tina looked at those vivid lights and shadows with great interest and nodded thoughtfully.
With Elena's brief introduction, she could roughly understand the reason for Newt's obsession.
This fictional world called "Pokémon" is simply the world that Newt Scamander dreamed of. Faced with such a beautiful blueprint that is within reach, it would be strange if Newt was not tempted.
"So..." Tina Scamander thought for a moment, "are you really studying magical animals?"
"Actually, regarding Professor Dumbledore's requests, I just put up a name. The actual work is done by other young people. In fact, I am more like a mascot..."
"Mr. Scamander is a very important academic leader."
Elena continued quickly, and a red and white elf ball suddenly appeared in her hand.
"This is a Poké Ball, a portable storage space for magical animals! According to Professor Dumbledore, although the space expansion spell is not difficult, it is extremely difficult to create a portable natural space. Carrying magical animals and magic props with you is now very difficult.
In the wizarding world, Mr. Scamander may be the only one who can create one."
"If the elf ball industry can be formed like wand making, then the world may really change."
As Elena spoke, she waved her wand carelessly, and the light and shadow in the sky disappeared instantly.
"In addition, as you can see, the transformation spell combined with the light spell can already generate images and sounds out of thin air. This means that the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" can also be formed into a more three-dimensional illustrated book form and be transmitted to everyone.
In the hands of a wizard."
The little mixed-blood Veela turned her head, looked at Newt Scamander, and said while the iron was hot.
"It's just that these technological innovations are obviously not something that can be accomplished by just one person here. Hogwarts has established a fairly sound research team. Returning to Hogwarts and participating in research projects is obviously the most
Good choice."
"That's right, that's right, that's it... hmm?!"
Newt, who was nodding in agreement with Elena, was stunned and opened his mouth.
"Miss Kaslana, this...I..."
"There's still some time before school starts. Don't worry. This is a good time to think about it."
Elena said with a smile, and quickly took over Newt's words and said, "As for Hogwarts, didn't Professor Dumbledore ask you to get Mrs. Scamander's consent first? If that doesn't work, you can also send a letter.
It’s a matter of contact…”
"It's okay, I support you, Newt... This is what you've always dreamed of, isn't it?"
Without hesitating for too long, Tina Scamander nodded readily and said softly.
"Eh? No...I..."
Newt Scamander blinked slightly dullly.
How come in just a few episodes of the cartoon, he suddenly went from being a nominal president of the Society of Magical Creatures to an academic leader who was about to be rehired to Hogwarts to participate in some magic item research project?
These contents were not written in the previous agreement?!
"You see, I knew Mrs. Scamander was so kind and would definitely support your ideals!"
Elena said with a smile, her voice was sweet and soft, which made people feel particularly comfortable.
"and……"
"Ahem, let's just come here tonight, right?"
Seeing that Elena seemed to have something else to say, Newt Scamander finally came to his senses this time, coughed slightly, stood up quickly, and walked quickly to the door with an uncomfortable look on his face, as if
It's like escaping from an extremely dangerous place.
Newt laughed dryly, took his wife's hand and walked towards the door, speaking quickly.
"It's getting late, Tina. If there's anything else, I'll explain it to you when I get back. Let the children rest first? The whole thing is a bit complicated. I haven't thought it through yet. You don't have to express your opinion in such a hurry. I still
Those who want to stay at home..."
"Newt, you don't have to worry about me. I sincerely support you, don't let the children laugh..."
Mrs. Scamander shook her head helplessly, but allowed her husband to hold her hand and leave.
When he was about to leave the room, he turned his head and looked at the girls in the room and gave an extra warning.
"Sleep well, children! Don't stay up late playing anymore, otherwise I will write to Professor Dumbledore!"
"Well, okay!" "I know!" "Don't worry, madam!"
Elena and others nodded obediently.
When the Scamanders completely disappeared from the corridor, Elena couldn't help but laugh.
I've made a lot of money now, and I didn't expect that even showing Luna a cartoon would bring extra gains.
"Pokémon...Pokeballs...Magical animals..."
The girl murmured. To be honest, she had not thought of these contents at first.
It's just that she had an idea just now and made a guess based on Newt's idea. But now she calms down and thinks about it carefully. With the resources she has now and Newt's ability, she might actually be able to succeed.
Speaking of which, decades ago, Newt could already carry dozens of magical animals around in a suitcase.
If we really study general promotion, there will be too many methods for wizards in this world in the future - after all, the coexistence and symbiosis of magical animals and wizards has been the way human wizards explore the world centuries ago.
Of course, it probably still takes a long way to go from idea to practice.
But these are the issues that Newt Scamander, Grandpa, and Carrot need to consider. She only needs to come up with a general direction. The next work still depends on these old men. She is still only an eleven-year-old baby.
.
As for now...
"rua!"
Bang! Bang! Hey——
"Where do you two want to go? We haven't settled the previous settlement yet!"
Elena quickly grabbed Hannah and Luna who were about to run away, and pushed them back onto the bed.
After she glanced at the three-headed dog Lu Wei squatting by the door and signaled it to close the bedroom door and ensure that no one else would come in and disturb it, the little fur on Elena's head shook excitedly.
He looked at the wings on the bed.
"If I remember correctly, my bed... is soundproof, right?"
