Showtime - Chapter 2

[bakemonoremy]

Location: 1st Floor Passageway

Sora: Shisho~, over here, over here! Sora’s over here~♪

Natsume: SoRA, I can walk even without you pulling me along that strongLY.

HeY. Can you at least tell me our destinatiON?

For noW, I came along because you told me to follow yOU, howevER. We did promise to meet up with Wataru-niisAN, this isn’t the time to dawdLE.

Sora: HaHa~♪ Great-Shisho~, you say? Great-Shisho~ is right over there~.

Natsume: EH?

BuT, if Sora says he’s over theRE, that’s probably the truTH. Good griEF.

I’m not sure what to think of Wataru-niisAN, he told us to “please gather at the Theater Club room”, just to nullify the promise he himself maDE.

WeLL, in any caSE, let’s head to where Wataru-niisan IS.

Sora: HiHi~♪ Sora will lead the way! Shisho~, please follow Sora ♪

Location: In front of the Fountain

Wataru: Hmhm… I’ve understood the gist of it. I look forward to your follow-up report.

Sora: HuHu~♪ Sora will greet you energetically! Great-Shisho~, hello!

Wataru: My oh my, Sora-kun. You’re as dazzling as the sun again today~. If I keep looking at you I’ll go blind!

However, absorbing the sunlight is all I need in order to shine dazzlingly myself! Now then, come closer to me and share your heat with me...☆

Sora: HeHe~, should Sora hug you tightly? Squeeze~...☆

Wataru: Very well. In that case, I’ll return your hug! Let’s fill the world with love...♪

Natsume: Wataru-niisAN.

Wataru: Please don’t look at me with such cold eyes. You’ve made Nii-san very sad, sob sob.

Natsume: I think this every time I see IT, but your crying act is really impressiVE. By deceiving yourseLF, you put yourself into a state where you can shed tears naturalLY.

To sum it UP, you completely turn into the role you’re playiNG. Anyone who doesn’t know Wataru-niisan would surely be deceived at just a glimpSE. 

Wataru: It's the human emotions. A human’s expressions are varied, you see~. I just wear the mask that’s suitable for the scene.

The tricks I have up my sleeve are merely akin to a number of worldly desires.

In any case, I thought I told you two to gather in the Theater Club room?

Natsume: YeAH. Sora noticed Wataru-niisan on our way there and changed our destinatiON. What about yOU, Wataru-niisAN, what were you doing in this plaCE?

Wataru: Aah. I was receiving my regular report from my pigeons.

Sora: HoHo~, pigeons? Are they your familiars? Sora can’t really use a lot of magic yet~, so Sora doesn’t have any familiars!

But, if Sora becomes a worthy magician, will he get familiars like Great-Shisho~ has them, too?

Wataru: If that’s what you wish for, it’ll be granted through hard work. Incidentally, what sort of familiar would you like to have?

Sora: Great-Shisho~, can Sora ask for anything? In that case, Sora wants the pigeon that flew away earlier!

Wataru: Oh my, that pigeon is rather difficult to deal with~. Because that one already has a sweetheart, you see. 

I’m the only one besides their lover they’re willing to do as they’re told by.

I can’t give you that one, but if you’d like, I could teach Sora-kun magic tricks involving pigeons.

The magic show takes place on an underground stage, it's not well-suited for large-scale events like that, you see.

First, I’ll have you get used to the pigeons I properly trained before we put those tricks into practice. 

And there’s a number of other magic tricks I’d like for you to learn…

How about I first instruct you in how to do simple coin magic.

Now then, let me show you a petit magic show full of tricks and secret mechanisms! If you can’t see through the tricks, please applaud lavishly.

The audience consists of only two people, but that’s no problem! Please express your astonishment with your whole body, because it’ll become the source of my encouragement...☆
