"When、Of course you know! I'm just, I just think it's a little inappropriate to draw a Grim Reaper card on an occasion like this......"

was defeated by Kawai, and Arai Kimiko looked a little flustered, and she hurriedly shouted:

"Do it all over again! Let me choose again! ”

"Uh, Dark Witch Teacher, this ......" The host on the side was a little embarrassed when he saw this.

Smoke it again or something, it's not very proper, is it?

"Huh...... I don't care~"

With a smile, Kawai put the Grim Reaper tarot card back into the pile, reshuffled the card, and spread it out in a fan shape in her hand.

"Teacher Dark Witch, please feel free to choose."

"Calm down, be calm......" Looking at the pile of cards in front of her, Kimiko subconsciously narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to sweep back and forth over the many cards.

"Just pick one, pick one......"

Finally, her hand stopped, in front of a certain tarot card.

Just as she was about to choose this tarot card, an audience member in the audience below suddenly spoke in what he thought was a low voice:

"I feel that the Dark Witch Teacher is completely different from what I imagined...... A little disappointed. ”

The voice of the audience was not too loud, but it was not small, just enough for the two soothsayers in the small half of the room and on the stage to hear it.

"Huh?!" When Kimiko heard this, she seemed to have suffered a blow, and her body shook subconsciously.

"Guests over there, please be quiet."

Keeping her hand moving, Kawai tilted her head slightly and looked in the direction of the audience.

"Sorry, sorry......"

Retracting her gaze, Kawai looked in the direction where Kimiko's hand had stopped, and pulled out the tarot card.

"Teacher Dark Witch, what you want to take, this tarot card, right?"

"Huh? Yes, yes......"

"So, I'll open it."

Gently turning the tarot card over, on the front of it, there is still the skeleton in the robe.

Or the Grim Reaper.

"Isn't it?!"

Kimiko subconsciously exclaimed, her face in disbelief and horror.

"Or Death?! Twice in a row is the Grim Reaper? How is this possible? I, I ......"

Opposite her, Kawai was also a little surprised, but soon, she adjusted her expression and said with a smile:

"It's really unexpected, I didn't expect the black witch teacher to be able to pull out the god of death again, should I say...... Is this really a choice of fate? ”

However, at this time, Kimiko could no longer hear her words.

Kimiko's face was extremely pale, and her eyes were in a trance with a hint of fear.

She got up from her seat and staggered towards the back of the stage, still muttering.

"It can't be...... Could it be ...... Could it be her...... Ahhhh......h That's my ...... Fate......"

In a flash, Kimiko Arai left the stage in despair.

Behind her, the host asked suspiciously, "That, where are you going?" The secret meeting has only just begun...... Teacher?! ”

"It seems that the body of the dark witch teacher is a little uncomfortable, and there is no way to do it......"

On stage, Kawai reshuffled the tarot cards and turned her head to look at the audience with a smile.

"Then change the original arrangement, and then let me do the divination for you...... Everyone~ Do you want to come up for divination first? ”

"I, I! Teacher Death! Please do my divination first! ”

"And me! I want it too! ”

"Hehehe...... Don't worry, come one by one. ”

The atmosphere in the venue was once again heated up by Kawai Tsuko, and on the side of the audience below, Mao Liran said to Karasuma Ying beside him with some concern:

"Sister Ying, don't you think this is a little scary? Turning over the Grim Reaper cards or something in a row......"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Karasuma Ying turned his head to look at her.

"That's a Grim Reaper card, look at the reaction of the black witch teacher just now, this shouldn't be really fate or something......"

"No, don't worry."

Karasuma Ying smiled and comforted, "There are many ways to make people draw the same card in a row, and in terms of technique, there are many ways to achieve it. ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"For example, the first Grim Reaper card, in fact, at the very beginning, you can place the Grim Reaper card at the bottom of the pile, and then quietly insert your finger or fingernail under the card to create a gap, so that the shuffler can lock the position of the Grim Reaper at all times during the shuffle phase.

After the shuffle is over, and then at the moment before the opponent makes a pointing action, with the help of the right hand of the dealer, quickly use the left hand to push out the Grim Reaper card.

In this way, the person who drew the card will mistakenly think that it is the card she chose, but in fact someone else chose it for her......

It seems to be fate, but in fact it is just a common magic trick. ”

"I see, what about the second time?" Mao Lilan asked curiously.

The second time Kawai used a fan-shaped way to let Kimiko draw cards, which was completely different from the first time.

"yes, yes, what about the second time?" Suzuki Sonoko on the other side also asked curiously.

"It's not that hard either."

Smiling slightly, Karasuma continued to explain to the two:

"First, Ms. Arai's eyesight is not good, and she squinted and hesitated back and forth during the two card draws just now.

In addition, Ms. Kawai's tarot card has a complicated back pattern, which actually greatly affects Ms. Arai's judgment.

Second, if you think about it, when Ms. Kawai fanned out the tarot cards, her right hand was actually a little more central than her left.

Ms. Arai and Ms. Kawai do not seem to have a good relationship, and out of inner disgust, after seeing the movement of Ms. Kawai's right hand, Ms. Arai will subconsciously give up the cards that she chose to be pinched by Ms. Kawai's right hand, and look at the cards on her left.

Third, the lighting on the stage, the dazzling lights match the intricate patterns on the back of the cards, coupled with Ms. Arai's blurred vision.

I think that in the second card draw, Ms. Arai would have a hard time distinguishing which one was which one was near the middle of the fan.

As a result, Ms. Arai's options were further narrowed, leaving only the cards that were close to Ms. Kawai's left hand.

Of course, the most important thing is the audience who spoke out in the audience just now.

The audience member spoke up a moment before Ms. Arai drew her card, which caught her attention, thus giving Ms. Kawai a chance to swap cards on the fly, and eventually causing Ms. Arai to draw the Reaper card again.

If the first time was a complete magic trick, the second time was a masterful psychological suggestion and a little luck. ”

"Hara-Is that so?"

"Ha ......"

After listening to Karasuma Ying's explanation, the two of them suddenly showed a ...... A disappointed look?

"What's wrong?" Karasuma looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"It's nothing, it's just that there's a sudden ...... How so? It's like a sense of loss that fate has been exposed......"

"Huh?"

Next to the three of them, Ayako Suzuki, who was also listening to Karasuma Ying's explanation, turned her head sideways and looked curiously at Shizu Shizun beside her.

"Jingjun, was the divination just now like what Xiao Ying said?"

"Half of it." Qing Shui Jing replied with a smile.

Her eyesight is far beyond ordinary people, and she naturally saw everything that happened on the stage clearly just now.

Karasuma's speculation is indeed reasonable, but it is only half right.

Because there is a Grim Reaper card, which was indeed drawn by Takamiko Arai herself.

The phone vibrated suddenly, and she took it out and glanced at the contents.

[Plan ahead, action ready]

Is this the fate of the Grim Reaper?

What a coincidence......
