My magic can hit twice in a row. I wonder if you are afraid?

Hearing unfamiliar words one after another, Lumi accepts new knowledge and realizes his own problems.

"But, Professor McGonagall, do you know how much I've paid to get from this small room to what I am now?"

Lumi was reluctant to let his years of hard work go to waste, and wanted to fight for his shop.

Since Luffy's apprenticeship, the two have been learning cake making day and night, practicing making every day when they wake up, and most of the money they earn is spent on learning.

To what extent?

Lumi only needs to use his hands to judge the weight of the ingredients in his hand, and he can do it exactly right.

It takes a lot of time and effort to practice to this extent, and Lumi and Luffy have to go through a long period of assassination in order for the store to survive.

Like abduction, kidnapping, car accidents, these are commonplace. Those peers went crazy in the end, what shootings, poisoning, damage to facilities, explosives....

Every time I think about it, Lumi feels that he and Luffy are so lucky to be alive today.

The voice in his throat was hoarse: "I started this shop for five years when I was six years old, and since I discovered that my magic can make ingredients delicious, I've been casting spells on those ingredients every day, and after each spell I've been so tired that I can't even lift a finger. "

I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall, I didn't mean to offend you. Taking

a deep breath and calming down, Lumi's voice became clearer as he looked at the TV in the hut with soft eyes: "If I leave, everything here will disappear." Stupid Luffy, the workers here, the guests, and..."

"My last home.

At this, Lumi's eyes were covered with tears.

When he thought of the days when Luffy lived with him, Lumi's heart was extremely uncomfortable.

If he was a wizard, then Dumb Luffy certainly wasn't, so he couldn't go to Hogwarts with him.

Thinking of this, Lumi wanted to cry.

But how could an eleven-year-old kid hold back tears when he wanted to cry?

Tears flowed quickly, and sadness filled Lumi's heart.

"Oh, poor boy.

Professor McGonagall shook her head, stepped forward and hugged him gently, comforting him in a very soft voice, "I can understand your feelings, but—"

Before she could finish speaking, the little boy in her arms burst into tears.

He grabbed McGonagall by the robe and cried out loud.

For many years, he did not feel cared for by others, especially because he no longer believed in the character of others, so many people did not care for him.

Even Ruf Chudal, as the guardian, was wary of him in Lumi's heart.

Such a relationship, Lumi calls vigilance.

The most vigilant are strangers, followed by 90% of vigilant enemies, 80% of passers-by, 70% of guests, 60% of acquaintances, 50% of temporary workers, 40% of friends, 30% of old employees, 20% of relatives and 10% of Ruf.

And for the first time in five years, a stranger gave Lumi a hug.

Even if the hug is just out of an elder's concern for the junior.

Or even just seeing a crying child and feeling unbearable.

But it's such a little warmth, and Lumi hasn't felt it for a long time.

No one cares how Lumi went from a small hut to a rich man who monopolizes half a street of food, and no one cares how many bumps there are.

A young rich man who had millions of pounds at a young age

, or a rich man who lost his parents, or

an assassinated man

, no one cared.

They will only keep exposing the wounds that are not easy to heal behind or on the front.

After a while, Lumi's emotions were almost released.

She rose from Professor McGonagall's arms with red eyes, her face slightly red from shyness.

"I'm sorry Professor McGonagall, I lost my temper. "

Lumi was very embarrassed.

Crying in the arms of someone you met for the first time would be embarrassing for anyone.

"It's okay, Mr. Gurier.

McGonagall patted him lightly on the shoulder, signaling that she didn't care if the other person soiled her robes.

"But Mr. Goullier, I think you may have some misunderstanding about this.

"

Yes, I don't think it was stated in the notice, but I can tell you about it.

McGonagall returned to the sofa and sat down, took a sip of black tea, and then slowly spoke: "Hogwarts is a boarding school, and young wizards need to live in the house dormitory, but this does not mean that you have to stay in school all the time, and you can return to the Muggle world during the holidays every year.

With that, Lumi reacted.

Immediately, his already reddened face became even more rosy with shame.

[Yes, I said that there are so many children who come to the store at that time every year, and I even have to go to the front office to help during that time.

McGonagall couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw him like this.

"Well, Professor McGonagall, I'm sorry, I was mistaken. "

I inherited this shop before I graduated from elementary school, so—"

Lumi bowed her head.

"It doesn't matter, it's still early to start, so don't worry if you don't think your foundation is enough.

McGonagall generously explained Lumi's predicament and suggested, "You can use the next month or so to make up for it." "

It can be seen from Lumi's gaffe just now that this kid has closed himself off for too long.

This kind of person who has closed himself off for a long time is most disgusted by others forcibly intruding into his world.

The two fell silent.

Lumi was carefully reading the acceptance letter, afraid that he would be embarrassed again by missing some key information.

McGonagall wasn't in a hurry at this point.

"Professor McGonagall, I want to learn magic.

Lumi didn't make her wait long before she put down the letter and spoke her mind.

The magic that McGonagall had shown before had thrilled him, not to mention that he had long regarded himself as an anomaly.

Now that he has the opportunity to meet other people of his kind, he can feel that he will not be too lonely in the future.

What's more, the store is still there, so you can come and see it regularly.

And it can also allow the owl to make deliveries, and the business of the store will not be affected too much.

I guess so...

The worries have been solved, and the person in front of you is the key to opening the door to another world.

What reason is there to refuse?

, McGonagall was delighted to receive an affirmative reply, got up and said, "I'm glad you made the right choice, Mr. Gurier.

"Someone from our school will come and take you to buy school supplies in a few days, so be prepared. I'm going to visit the other families next, or can you come with me?"

said McGonagall, looking at Lumi, her eyes full of love.

"I'm afraid not, Professor.

Lumi hurriedly explained: "I have to explain everything in the store, otherwise Luffy's stupid guy will still help people count the money if he is deceived."

"That guy has a criminal record, and if the police come to catch the stupid, he must be the first to be caught.

Lumi pretended to be a light-hearted joke.

Escort McGonagall out of the store with a smile and a smile to confirm that she is leaving.

Lumi then went to the warehouse and began his daily job, enchanting the ingredients.

The ingredients in front of me are enough to open the store for two and a half years.

In the early years, when Gulli's pastry shop was just getting started, Lumi fainted due to the consumption of mana.

At that time, the enchanted ingredients could make a hundred and ten small cakes.

Since then, Lumi has decided to sell only 100 servings a day, saving the rest for the next day.

Over the years, Lumi's daily consumption of mana has increased, and the accumulated ingredients have been transferred from the basement to a house, and the next door to it has to be used as a warehouse for storage.

Until now, there are five houses where the ingredients are stored.

Every day, all Lumi has to do is enchant the newly purchased ingredients, and now he has a good control over the magic power.

Refers to the point where the hand stops on the verge of fainting.

In the evening, when the store closed, Lumi held a meeting and told everyone in the store that he was going to school.

Surprisingly, everyone was in favor of the move.

Even Luffy burst into tears.

"Young master, you should have gone to school a long time ago, you have paid too much for the store.

"I've been preparing for today since I followed the young master, and I have prepared gifts for the beginning of the school season every year, and I can finally give them out today.

"Sure enough, has the young master also arrived on this day? Life is incomplete without experiencing school days.

"Woo woo, the young master is finally going to school, and we can finally take charge on our own. "

Young master, don't worry, we will spread Gulli's pastry all over Europe!" Lumi

looked at the employees in front of him helplessly.

Let them call themselves young master, at first because they don't want to hear the boss and remind themselves of their deceased family.

Later, Luffy was identified by Lumi as the most trusted person, and it took a lot of effort to make him the titular adoptive father.

The title of young master also has a clear reason.

And these three-percent vigilant employees who held meetings, almost all of them were trained by themselves, especially Luffy, who taught him to make cakes little by little.

Although Lumi himself was a half-witted person at that time, one dared to teach and the other dared to learn, and the two studied together for a long time before they succeeded in making a good-looking cake.

They accompanied themselves through the most difficult times, but unfortunately they were deceived by many people at that time, and they no longer trust anyone, although they still are.

With the remaining time to complete the follow-up of the store, all the preparations are ready.

Until one day Lumi got up and opened the door and saw a tall man with a full beard.

This huge physique completely blocked the door, and his stature far surpassed that of Luffy, and he managed to become the strongest person in Lumi's heart.
