Chapter 21 Benitez’s Gift

"Father Hundan! Come out!"

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

Everything that happened today, if Benitez hadn't made suggestions later, she would definitely not believe 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, do 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 her toes, the silver-haired little Loli subconsciously pursed her lips, her eyes quickly misted with mist, and she felt increasingly aggrieved. She sat down on the cold stone steps outside the door and hugged her. He curled up into a small ball on his knees.

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

Zhiqua~

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

"Sigh... Anyway, let's talk about it in 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 knelt down, put his hands through the girl's knees, and directly carried the curled-up little Loli into the room without any explanation.

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 from the bed.

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

"So you 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 we do? We have made an unbreakable oath, and it is impossible not to go now."

The silver-haired little loli 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 corners of his mouth and rubbed the top of Elena's head vigorously.

In more than six years, she has grown from a little kid to an almost eleven-year-old girl. No matter how resistant Elena seems to be in words, the desire and hesitation shown in her eyes and body movements cannot 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 immediately expressed his 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. Regarding the matter of wanting to send her to school outside the city, Benitez did not 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. Come 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'll 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 little face froze, that was probably her most failed time running away from home. Before that, she thought everything had been kept secret.

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

Benitez felt a little pain in his head when he mentioned this. Fortunately, Elena is finally going to the magic school. According to Professor McGonagall's description 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 among peers who also have magical abilities, Elena should be able to make a few friends. Public school teachers have said more than once that although Elena looks like a child, she has always been on the periphery of the group.

"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 got back to the topic. As he spoke, he dragged two huge black suitcases from behind and patted them proudly.

"Well, you took care of it..."

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 always 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 configuration 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 gift, excitedly handed it to the silver-haired little Lolita and said.

"Then here are some daily clothes... and underwear. In the afternoon, I went to the city again and bought the 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 helpless. There was no doubt that the remaining half of the box was all 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 wrong with them. One can wear it at Hogwarts!

Elena briefly imagined it in her mind. In the corridor of Hogwarts, among a group of little 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, points will be deducted directly, right? !

"No! No! No! The style 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 hit 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 book 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, as long as you are not deliberately teased, it will be difficult to be 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 - the little witches at Hogwarts, how much fabric will be 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 loli folded the clothes in the suitcase again, turned her head curiously, looked at Benitez next to her 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 nothing more than some normal school supplies. An accident was probably unlikely, 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 side is filled with all kinds of snacks available on the market, as well as products such as Coke and cans.

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 loli's nose, and ordered lovingly.

"I won't be able to stay with you all the time from now on. Please be safe in a strange world and remember to take good care of yourself."
