Chapter Twenty-Seven: Edison the Thaumaturge?
Although Ariel's knighthood ceremony will not be held in the imperial capital for five days, some nobles who are far away from the capital have come to the capital early.
Their purpose was to get a glimpse of this rare marquisess who had not been available in the empire for a long time.
However, thanks to Louise, they did not see Ariel, and on the contrary, some nobles with teenage daughters are now beginning to regret bringing their daughters to the capital.
Originally, they were going to make their daughters close to the emperor of the empire, but now they seem to be obsessed with a guy who wanders around the palace all day.
His name is.
Edison.
"Ladies, you see this is an ace of spades. A blonde teenager stretched out his slender hand and held a playing card.
He has a sunny appearance, a gentle and energetic smile, and blonde hair, which is simply a representative of the sunny big brother next door.
Compared to the silver-haired emperor who had a straight face all day long, and maybe a little young white, these aristocratic girls obviously liked him more.
"Now I want a young lady to hold it, I wonder who wants to accompany me to complete this little magic trick?"
With a big smile, Edison, or Ariel, as it should be called, soon gets a scream from the aristocratic girls.
In fact, Edison, the magician who the nobles said was idle in the palace all day long and hooked up with their daughter, was actually Ariel.
Ariel, who had secretly run out to play that day, wandered around the palace and soon reached noon.
So Ariel, who was a little hungry, secretly came to the place where she was cooking.
But there was no food on the table, just a drink that looked like juice.
Because she was so hungry, Ariel drank it directly.
And then.
There is no then.
According to Amber, who rushed over in a panic, it was her latest enhanced transformation potion, which could be drunk for five days.
And for the convenience of eating, it was made orange by amber.
I accidentally got mixed up with a drink just now. But now it has been drunk by Ariel.
(So don't make the medicine taste like juice.) )
As a result, Ariel turned into a handsome man with blonde hair in an instant.
Of course, because of this, the training was forced to stop, and the bored Ariel started her new career.
Hook up with aristocratic girls.
"So, which beautiful lady is willing to accompany me to this magic trick?"
"I do. ”
"Me too. ”
......
No one wants to be with this handsome guy who looks very sunny.
So there was a wave of "I am willing" all around.
"Good. Then because everyone is willing, then I have to ask the young lady who raised her hand first. Ariel said as she extended her hand to the noble daughter who had been the first to raise her hand.
"Don't worry, other ladies. Wait a minute, I've got some more fun magic tricks that you can all take part in. ”
Although I feel a little sorry that my shot is too slow, the girls who didn't get the chance are still looking forward to the next magic tricks.
"So, beautiful young lady, may I ask your name?"
"Ah, my name is Elena. "This lucky girl now feels like she has drunk two pots, dizzy.
"Yelena, it's a beautiful name. So, take this Ace of Spades now. Then cover it with both hands. ”
Yelena, who was still staring at Ariel, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly covered the ace of spades with a red face.
The eyes of the other girls also came to me.
"So, the magic begins. ”
Ariel snapped her fingers, and a black round hat suddenly appeared on her head, and the girls around her let out a scream.
A red magic circle appears, and Ariel begins what she calls magic.
In fact, as long as you use the moment yourself, you can make a magic trick casually, and there are no flaws.
Ariel's hands slowly spread out above her head. Removed the black hat.
Then, in the expectant eyes of everyone, he took out a poker card from it.
That's the Ace of spades.
There was a burst of screams from the girls. Ariel, on the other hand, smiled and told them to be quiet.
"It's not over yet, ladies, and now, Miss Elena, you can turn over the poker in your hand. ”
With a shudder, Elena flipped open the poker card she had been holding all along.
"How could it be ......?"
Yelena, who covered her mouth, looked at the poker card in her hand in disbelief.
At this point it has become the Ace of hearts.
If the previous ace of spades can be said to have been hidden in the hat, but this time the ace of spades in her hand became the ace of hearts. That's really magic.
In the screams of the girls, Ariel was directly pushed by various squeezes.
However, not far away, there were a few people sitting and drinking tea.
"Maria, who the hell is that man? ”
Anne, who was staring at Ariel, couldn't figure out who the man who had been surrounded by girls since he appeared, only that he seemed to be a magician.
Anne had also asked Louise and Jack. Who is the playboy who showed up at the palace, but Louise and Jack are both distracted and say that they are relatives.
How can I have such relatives?
"Let's go, Anna, Maria, let's see who he really is. ”
―――――――――――――――― ――――――――――――――――--――
"Then this magic trick is open to everyone, wait a minute, please divide the ladies into two groups, I can swap your places......"
If you use the gaps, it shouldn't be a big problem to swap positions.
"Really, Mr. Edison, is this a form of magic?"
"No, it's called thaumaturgy. Ariel handed over a big smile that made the girl almost faint.
"Oh, thaumaturgy, so I want to try it too, I don't know if I can?
Seeing the county lord coming, the noble girls saluted one after another.
"It turned out to be Lord Anne, I have often heard of your deeds and preferences. Ariel just smiled and didn't do anything else.
"You're not a prince, are you, I remember the Empire's understanding that you have to salute when you see the royal family?" Anne didn't have much affection for the playboy in front of her, but she felt as if she had seen it somewhere.
And he actually joked with him the first time he met him, which made Anne even more unkind.
"Is this really important? Obviously, some people who have no identity will not salute when they see the emperor, right?"
"Well, where is ......?" Anne wanted to retort, but she remembered that there was really such a person who never saluted when he saw members of the royal family.
The surrounding aristocratic girls are now obsessed with this handsome blonde guy who is not afraid of power.
"Who are you and what do you have to do with Ariel?"
The perceptive Anne sensed that the man in front of her must have a connection with Ariel, otherwise he would not have known about Ariel.
"I'm just a wandering thaumaturgist, and this time I'm here for my sister's knighthood. ”
"Sister, do you mean you're ...... Ariel's brother?"

(Rained, heartbroken.) (To be continued......)
