Showtime - Chapter 7

[bakemonoremy]

Location: Underground Livehouse

Sora: (There’s so many people, the “color” looks like fire!)

(Sora wants to show his magic tricks in front of everyone as soon as possible!)

Wow, you surprised Sora! You were in the audience just a moment ago, why did you come backstage, Anzu?

The outfit for the magic show? HaHa~, Anzu made adjustments to it, right~. Thanks to you, it’s really comfortable to wear ♪

Eh, you want to make some last minute adjustments? Understood! Sora will stand still without moving~.

Uu… But, you’re breathing on the nape of Sora’s neck and it tickles!

Bear it, bear it~.

Nnh? You’re done? Can Sora move again?

HiHi~, it feels good to be able to move freely~♪ Anzu, thank you! When someone does something for you, you thank them ♪

You see, Sora’s chest was feeling all tight and his head was blanking until a moment ago~. But after talking to Anzu, that feeling is all wiped away~.

Anzu, what kind of magic did you use? Nnh? “I didn’t use any magic?”, you say?

Ah, that’s it! Anzu is a producer, right~. Everyone smiles after talking to Anzu and cheers up! It’s the same for Sora ♪

Anzu. Please watch Sora’s magic tricks and smile and cheer up, too! 

…? Anzu, why are you patting Sora’s head? Are you cheering Sora on, like “Do your best”?

HuHu~, thank you! Sora will do his best ♪

Wataru: Sora-kun.

Sora: Great-Shisho~? Look! There’s so many people~. And they all came to watch the magic show ♪

Wataru: Yes. It seems like there’s even people looking in from outside because they couldn’t fit in the underground stage room.

In order to watch our magic show, they’re spending their precious time. Let’s deliver Amazing to all of them...☆

Sora: HeHe~, by Amazing, is Great-Shisho~ referring to that part at the end of the magic show? 

Wataru: Yes. But let’s also promise to amaze the audience with the other magic tricks ♪

In the first part of the show, I’ll perform my magic tricks, then the middle is Sora-kun’s turn. And the finale will be our joint performance.

Saying it like that makes us sound like a married couple, ahahahahaha...☆

In any case, whether you like it or not, this is it. Please make the pigeon magic a success!

Sora: Yes! It’s about time to prepare the pigeons~. Come, come, come on out~♪

Wataru: Hmm. They’ve gotten quite attached to you. Granted you spent some time together, it still makes me feel Sora-kun’s hard work…!

I’ve always thought you were an interesting kid, but you’re really wonderful!

And so, I’ve become more interested in you. If another chance like this arises, may I ask you to be my assistant again, Sora-kun?

Sora: Of course! Sora will always give you a warm welcome~♪

Wataru: Fufu, thank you.

“Now, everyone who has gathered here! I apologize for the wait, I shall now begin the magic show…☆”

“Will we start with a trial run? Non, non! We’ll go at full force right from the start~. Now, please look over your heads!”

“Playing cards are appearing from mid-air~. Pick a card that has fallen near your seat and put it face down on your laps please, everyone!”

“Now then, who shall I pick~? Hrm~m… Okay, I’ve decided!”

“Congratulations! The goddess of fortune smiled upon you! Now now, what’s your name?”

Shu: Why does it have to be me.

Wataru: “Hmm, hmm. This guests name is “Why does it have to be me”-san, isn’t it!”

“What an interesting name~. I’ve never met anyone with a name like yours before ♪”

Shu: Neither have I.

Wataru, stop messing around and go on with your magic tricks.

Wataru: “Fufufu. Since you have such high expectations, I can’t disappoint you!”

“Now, to answer to your request… The card you have is the ace of spades, right?”

Shu: Gyoh!? Did you somehow peek at my card?

Wataru: “How could I have done that when Shu was covering his card with both hands the whole time?”

“With love, one can see through anything! The person besides you has the seven of hearts, and the person right behind you has the nine of clubs, right?”

“If I was right, please applaud. Yes, thank you very much for the lavish applause...☆”

“Next, I shall make my hair move on it’s own! And spit fire! Please enjoy every conceivable amazement!”

“Astonishing the guests is my pleasure...☆”

Sora: (HoHo~, Great-Shisho~’s magic tricks are amazing! Beautiful colors are overflowing everywhere...♪)

(Sora can’t do the kinds of magic tricks Great-Shisho~ can do. Sora might let everyone down~. But, but, Sora wants to grant everyone dreams!)

(Sora wants to make people happy! That feeling definitely doesn’t lose against Great-Shisho~’s~.)

Wow? Please don’t peck at Sora with your beak~. Pigeon-san, are you hungry?

Mm-mm. That’s not the color of an empty stomach~. Does this warm color mean you’re cheering for me?

HaHa~, you’re so kind~!

Sora is okay now! Thank you!

Let’s make the world sparkle in rainbow colors as well! HaHiHuHeHo~♪
