Without Rohiya there, there were only two people left in the camp, Mina Tosaka and Tsukahara Mingshi, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while.

One is an otaku who lacks and a female ** stream, and the other is a girl who can't speak because of fear. In addition, the air is quiet now, and the only heroic spirit who can help him has also gone out......

Yes, shouldn't I say something?

Tsukahara thought instinctively.

Because, because ah, in all kinds of animations, comics, and light, it's all written like this, right? When the hero and the heroine are alone, what should they say?

However, it's a pity that Japan's two-dimensional industry, in order to make the reader more immersive, or in other words, in order to wear out the personality of the protagonist as much as possible, or to highlight the Shura field as much as possible, the male protagonist will be set to be very dull...... really asked him to talk, and he was really a little nervous, for fear of saying the wrong word.

Talk to her about the Holy Grail War, I'm afraid she'll be scared.

Let's talk to her about her parents' shortcomings, for fear that she will misunderstand her bad intentions.

Let's talk to her about her interests and hobbies...... Is now the time to talk about this!

The more Tsukahara thought about it, the more he couldn't come to a conclusion.

I am afraid that only people in the same situation can understand this kind of feeling of gain and loss.

"That?"

Somehow, Tsukahara suddenly made a sound.

Starting with this embarrassing sound, Mina Tosaka silently raised her eyes and cast a blurred gaze on him. This means "I'm listening to you".

At this point, it is already difficult to ride a tiger.

Anyway, say something?

"That...... How's it going?"

What will I say again......

As soon as the words came out, Tsukahara Mingshi himself was complaining about himself, what kind of ghost chat method is this.

“…………”

Sure enough, she didn't speak. Instead, he silently took his gaze back, and the indifferent coldness made Tsukahara Mingshi feel more and more sad in his heart.

She's ...... too Forced to this point by the Holy Grail War.

"That...... What about me...... Actually, he was just an ordinary Japanese. ”

I don't know why, obviously I feel embarrassed, but Tsukahara Mingshi continued.

Do you want to comfort Mina Tosaka and let her know that there is a similarly depressed lord in the world, or is it simply that you want to vent the resentment in your chest?

Tsukahara gave vent to everything.

"Actually, I was originally a magician, not the kind you understand, it's the common one on TV, playing poker, changing people or something, this kind of magic. Ah, look. ”

With that, Tsukahara reached into his pocket and pulled out a deck of playing cards.

It was the most common card used by magicians, and Karl shuffled it casually, picked up one casually and stretched it out to Mina.

Perhaps it was Tsukahara's repetition that intrigued her a little, and she looked up again, her ocean-blue eyes quietly staring at the suit.

King of hearts.

It must be a king or some powerful person with a sword in his hand.

Then, Tsukahara Mingshi stuffed it back into the poker pile in his hand, twitched at will, changed the card order, and finally, the poker returned to a square posture, Tsukahara Mingshi said to her mysteriously.

"I haven't looked at that card since it started, and now, only you know what suit the card I just showed you is, right?"

“………… Well. ”

Mina replied that she was still listening.

"So, let me make a guess...... Be...... King of hearts. Isn't that right?"

“！”

Mina Tosaka's eyes suddenly widened, and she was absolutely right.

Yes, what's going on? He's done his tricks on the cards in advance, can you tell from the back that it's the card?

Or is there something ......

Mina didn't think it was a coincidence. She couldn't help but start thinking about how the other party did it.

However, that's the first step in magic. Let the audience's focus turn according to the magician's heart.

"Judging by your expression, I guessed right, but there is still a possibility that it will be correct. But, I can pinpoint this card. ”

Tsukahara said this, stretched out the playing card in front of her, and said, "Within 10, you can say a random number." ”

“…… 5？”

Subconsciously, Mina said a middle number, only to see Tsukahara Mingshi move the card pile into five parts.

"The King of hearts is here. ”

Tsukahara Mingshi randomly pulled out a king of hearts from the top of the fifth pile. As we all know, there are a total of 54 playing cards, which are not repeated. Other words......

“…… Awesome......"

This is...... How?

If Tsukahara Mingshi guessed poker correctly before, and it can be said that he made a mark, then, how did he do it to find the right position?

The five, is his own said, if he said a six, seven or something, the result is different, how can he be so accurate to find the cards he needs?

At first, I just had the idea of seeing what kind of medicine he sold in his gourd, but I didn't expect it......

Tsukahara Mingshi breathed a sigh of relief, seeing her serious expression, he knew that he had not made a fool of himself.

To put it bluntly, it's just a little trick of magic.

The magic trick that the public is familiar with is actually mainly a [trickery] that uses props and distraction techniques.

The main thing is to deceive the audience's vision, and through words and actions, the audience's attention is diverted to other places. That's why most magicians, especially poker magicians, are very talkative, and they will chatter with the audience and get them to pay attention to things that don't really matter.

Because in this way, the audience's attention will be focused and the other parts will be ignored.

Like what......

Mina didn't know that behind her, at some point, a playing card had flown over, cleverly nailed to the tree behind her, covered with a faint layer of ice, and the cards looked like a not-so-clean mirror.

For Tsukahara Mingshi, this thing is enough for him to see his cards clearly.

As for the timing, it was when he said "look."

Generally speaking, when a person digs his pockets in front of him and says "look" in his mouth, everyone will subconsciously focus their eyes on what he is going to come up with, and as a result, they tend to ignore other existences......

Like, his feet. When Tsukahara Mingshi was digging out his pocket, he secretly flew a card down the inside of his clothes down the trouser tube, and then kicked it out, causing it to whirl in mid-air and stick to the grass.

At this time, Mina's eyes were focused on his hand, Mina was sitting, Tsukahara was standing, which happened to be an upward angle, and for her, the poker was a visual dead spot.

As for how to find the cards, it's even simpler.

The card he showed Mina casually was naturally the [outermost] one, and when he shuffled and cut the cards, he had already secretly hidden the card in his hand, which was a very common [guess the card magic] technique.

Because Mina's card was in his hand, it didn't matter what number she said afterwards. That statement, firstly, is to attract attention, and secondly, it is to create a feeling that you are very powerful, and you can guess it correctly.

A little magic trick made the air a little more lively.

Tsukahara suddenly felt a little proud in his heart.

Although he couldn't remember what was going on because of the magic trick. But the beginning of his impressive life was indeed on the streets of Japan, as a down-and-out magician, and no one reached out to him except Carl.

Now, however, there was finally a person who looked at his magic trick and showed a look of surprise. Even if it's because she's in the depths of the boudoir and rarely comes into contact with these strange things, even if it's because she's in a panic right now, anything can attract her attention. This can't be changed, and Tsukahara is still happy in his heart.

's own magic tricks, finally have an audience.

Thinking of this, he sorted out the poker and continued to perform the magic tricks he was good at.

For example, white handkerchiefs.

Magic tricks like pigeons under handkerchiefs.

However, this magic trick requires enough hand speed and props......

No one really thinks that the pigeon came out of nowhere, does it?

At this time, how can he have a chance to prepare the pigeons?

After thinking about it, Tsukahara Mingshi didn't think about what to change in the end. With a white handkerchief on his hand, it is difficult to ride a tiger......

Tsukahara complained about himself in embarrassment.

Because it's rare for someone to appreciate their magic, it's so exciting!

Looking at her expectant eyes, Tsukahara Mingshi made a difficulty...... The selling point of this magic trick is that something suddenly shines from under the white handkerchief...... Now in my own hands......

Yes......

It occurred to him that he had ...... Isn't it?

In the eyes of Mina Tosaka, Tsukahara pulled the handkerchief away.

In his yellow skin, he had grasped a silver thing.

It was a silver, round ring-like thing.

(Ring?)

Mina Tosaka couldn't understand why he would come up with this thing for a moment.

However, the more you look at it, the more absolutely something is wrong...... When I looked closely, I realized that it was a key chain.

Take a closer look, it's still a little familiar......

"Isn't it?"

Mina Tosaka was sure that when he put it on before, he didn't have anything in his hand. And the keychain in her hand made her feel more incredible than this "out of nothing".

"Hey, when I had a party at a dessert house before, the giveaway in the store. ”

He's talking about the shop where Mina Tosaka worked before. There, guests can get some small giveaways.

Although this kind of key chain printed with the store logo is given away for free, the advertising effect formed invisibly is far more cost-effective than the money of customizing the key chain. If this kind of thing can be ordered in the tens of thousands, the price will be so low that it will feel terrible.

As long as you look at the name on this keychain-" Oops, it's not that ...... It seems that there has been some big news?—— "Oh!It's the dessert house haunted by that beautiful girl.,Go buy some and try it.。

This ripple effect is worth the cost.

In the hands of Tsukahara Mingshi, the only thing that can be called a good thing now is probably this, right?

"It's ...... Stuff in my store. ”

Mina Tosaka smiled bitterly, her sitting posture was slightly soothed, and it could be seen that her legs were paralyzed by squatting for too long, and she stumbled and sat on the ground. There is no need for Tsukahara Mingshi to help, but Mina Tosaka herself laughed first.

"Hahahaha...... What...... It's such a mess......"

Although she was laughing, the sorrow between her eyebrows that was so thick that it couldn't be dispersed always revealed a feeling of self-abandonment.
