“I guess this one is the Ace of Hearts ♪” After drawing the first card, Elysia glanced at it, but instead of directly showing it to the audience below and the two people including Furina, she directly began to draw the first card of the second portion.
“This one is the 5 of Clubs ♪” Without hesitation, she immediately began to draw from the third portion.
“This is the 7 of Diamonds ♪” After guessing them all in one breath, Elysia looked at Furina, who was nervously rubbing her hands in front of her, and the little girl who wore an expectant expression.
“You are all such cute children ♪” The audience below also nervously watched Elysia’s every move, trying to find flaws in it.
“It seems everyone is looking forward to the result ♪ Then Elysia won’t keep you in suspense anymore, and next is the moment to witness a miracle ♪” After speaking, Elysia flipped over the three playing cards in her hand, which were precisely the three cards Elysia had mentioned earlier.
“Elysia, you are truly amazing!” Seeing Elysia succeed, Furina cheered and leaped onto Elysia.
Elysia hurriedly caught him, for fear that Furina would accidentally fall to the ground.
At this moment, warm applause also broke out from the audience below, because they hadn’t figured out how Elysia pulled it off.
“Pretty big sister, you’re amazing!
Can you tell me how you did it?” The little girl on the stage also looked at Elysia with a face full of adoration; she also wanted to learn how to do magic so she could go back and show off to her little friends.
“It’s a secret, oh.
Keeping a mystery is the trick for a girl to possess charm ♪” Seeing the little girl in front of her look somewhat disappointed, Elysia pondered slightly, flipped her hand, and a beautiful pink crystal flower appeared in her hand.
Elysia squatted down and tucked it into the little girl’s hair.
“Cute little sister, you are very brave.
This is a reward for the brave ♪” After finishing, she whispered a few soft words into the little girl’s ear, and the little girl, who was still a bit down earlier, instantly beamed with joy again, leaning in front of Elysia and kissing her exquisite cheek.
“Thank you, pretty big sister!” Ambushed, Elysia wasn’t angry either.
Happily rubbing the little girl’s head, she let her go back down to her parents’ side.
Seeing such a friendly and loving scene, the audience below applauded even louder.
“So pretty, so amazing, and also so gentle—what a perfect Damselette!” The audience below began to genuinely like Elysia.
Elysia vaguely felt that the Honkai Energy within her had grown a bit stronger.
Afterwards, holding hands with the somewhat jealous Furina, she bowed to the audience to take a curtain call and stepped off the stage.
“How come my good Fufu seems a little unhappy?
Wasn’t the performance very successful?
Could you possibly be jealous of a little girl ♪” After stepping off the stage, Elysia teased Furina, who was pouting.
“You’re the one who’s jealous!
I’m just angry that you, Elysia, didn’t even spare a little girl.
You should know that according to Fontaine’s laws…
Mmph!” Elysia hurriedly muffled Furina’s mouth.
If she let Furina continue talking, Elysia felt she would have to go to the Fortress of Meropede to screw bolts.
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?
It’s just a child’s gratitude.
However, Fufu, do you want to know how I guessed it back then?” Elysia hurriedly changed the subject, and Furina was indeed attracted by Elysia’s words; she was genuinely curious.
“Mmhv ♪ Want to learn?
I’ll teach you ♪” Elysia began to explain it to Furina.
The principle was actually very simple: in fact, when Elysia gathered the face-up cards together, she had already remembered the 7 of Diamonds on the very top.
Even though it was later divided into three portions, the 7 of Diamonds was still on the very top.
Afterwards, it was very simple.
When Elysia placed her hand on the Ace of Hearts, Elysia would deliberately say it was the 7 of Diamonds.
When she saw the Ace of Hearts, she still used the old method: when placing her hand on the 5 of Clubs, she deliberately said it was the Ace of Hearts.
After looking at the last card, she would call the 7 of Diamonds the 5 of Clubs.
In this way, all three playing cards were guessed completely, which is why Elysia displayed the three playing cards together at the very end; otherwise, the trick would have been exposed.
This magic trick is extremely simple and does not require any sleight of hand.
(Respected reader greats can also use this magic trick to amaze everyone when you go home for the Chinese New Year) Originally, Elysia also wanted to perform a high-difficulty magic trick.
Although she was very confident in her current hand speed, after all it was her first performance, and Elysia was still a bit nervous, so to avoid mistakes, she decided to use a safer method.
After listening, Furina quickly learned it.
Furina put her hands on her hips and said proudly: “I thought magic was how magical—turns out it’s this simple!
No wonder you didn’t want to tell that little girl.
If the people below find out, will they fly into a rage out of humiliation?” Hearing Furina’s words, Elysia smiled slightly.
Magic is just this kind of thing: before understanding the principle, it feels very magical; after understanding it, you have a sudden realization, and there is the illusion of ‘put me up there and I can do it too.’ But after all, not all magic tricks are this simple; the vast majority require years and months of practice to be presented to the audience below.
“I’ve already told that little girl the method of this magic trick ♪” “Eh, when did that happen?” Furina wore a shocked expression.
You must know that she had been right by Elysia’s side the whole time; apart from the few whispered words close to her ear, Furina had heard everything, and there was no magic content in it.
Although the magic was simple, it couldn’t be explained clearly in just a few words.
“Elysia has already carved the method onto that crystal flower ♪ What I whispered to her was to let her put the crystal flower under the light tonight; the light will pass through the holes inside the petals, and the content inside will appear ♪” Hearing Elysia’s words, Furina had a sudden realization.
“No wonder that little girl was so happy.
I thought…” “My good Fufu, you wouldn’t think I gave flowers just to flirt with someone else’s little girl, would you ♪” Hearing Elysia’s words, Furina shrank her neck, obviously feeling guilty.
Seeing Furina’s appearance, Elysia shook her head and sighed, never expecting that she was actually viewed this way in Furina’s eyes.
Afterwards, she decided to play along with the situation to teach Furina a lesson, and immediately entered a wronged mode.
“To think Elysia is actually a pervert in Fufu’s eyes?
People will cry, you know ♪” After speaking, Elysia turned around and wiped her eyes with her hands.
Seeing Elysia’s appearance, Furina thought it was really her who made Elysia cry.
Feeling guilty and in the wrong to begin with, she surrounded Elysia for a long while with apologies and comforting words.
After paying a series of ‘humiliating and nation-betraying’ conditions, Elysia finally forgave Furina.
Furina breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn’t notice the familiar sinister smile appearing on the corner of Elysia’s mouth.
After making a fuss for a while, the two of them joined hands to come to the backstage of Lyney’s magic troupe, expressing their thanks to Lyney once again.
Afterwards, amidst the praises of Lyney’s magic troupe, the two of them embarked once again on today’s journey.
