Fortunately..? The girls waiting in front of the door didn’t do anything to me.

Of course, I trust them, so I know they would never harm me… but I was a little scared.

We all decided to leave the imperial palace together and look around the central streets of the empire. I will never forget the beautiful decorations and golden dance that unfolded until I left the imperial palace.

“Venice. Do you see this scenery? This… is the center of the empire.”

“Wow…”

After leaving the imperial palace, I looked at the vast center of the empire from the top of the stairs where there was a huge door that could be said to be the entrance to the imperial palace.

Is this…another world?

It was so enchanting and beautiful that no words were needed. If the word ‘fantasy world’ was literally expressed, wouldn’t it look something like this?

Hot air balloons floating in the sky. And the buildings that beautifully decorate the streets, the colorful lights and the overflow of people.

It was a street so beautiful that it left me speechless.

“Let’s go quickly. There’s a lot I want to show you.”

“Yes…yes!”

So we all slowly started going down the high stairs together, step by step.

“Uh…huh?!”

“Tskcha. You have to be careful, leader?”

“Master. be careful. If I keep doing this, you won’t let me go?”

“Yes… thank you.”

While I was going down the stairs, I lost my footing and almost fell, but fortunately Carly and Cerise caught me, so I avoided any serious trouble.

anyway. We came down to the streets of the center of the empire. If there were so many people, the streets would definitely be dirty, but it was amazing that it was clean without a single trace of dirt.

“Hey… How can this floor be so clean? There are definitely a lot of people going there…”

“Oh, that’s right. There are several magics hanging over the entire center of the empire, this city. Being able to trace traces of anyone using magic power, magic that automatically disposes of foreign substances, etc. It’s the result of the empire’s best wizards coming together and joining forces.”

“Wow…. It’s amazing.”

“Don’t worry, I’m much, incomparably better than those people.”

“…Isn’t that excessive self-consciousness?”

“Phew. It was so funny and embarrassing.”

“Hehe…”

Unlike me, who was filled with wonder after hearing Ariel’s explanation and looked around, the girls started laughing at Ariel.

In the end, in order to stop Ariel, who was starting to get angry, Gilgil urgently adjusted her clothes, and fortunately, the incident ended.

“Hey, can you see that restaurant? This is a restaurant that my family and I often go to. The taste is pretty good, so let’s go together next time.”

“Well…but…it looks too expensive…?”

Ariel took my hand and pointed to a huge restaurant in the distance. At first I thought that building was some kind of department store.

But… let’s go together? I really don’t have a penny…

“Well…I don’t have much money…”

“Do you really think I’m going to ask you to pay? You just need to come physically. Because I will make everything you want come true.”

For a moment, the sight of Ariel talking to me, who was about to become gloomy, seemed so cool and shining.

“Yes…yes…”

I had no choice but to answer quietly without resisting.

“…I want to deny it, but it’s kind of cool.”

“Me too… Next time I will definitely…!”

“Oh my… a method like that?”

anyway. I felt a little shy, so I took the lead and started looking around the street.

-now! Everyone, come and see~! The magic begins!

And at that time, someone was heard shouting in a loud voice from far away, and people began to gather around that person.

“Ah…! It’s magic! Take a look there…!”

“Da…Captain! You can go slowly! And if you fall…!”

“Ah…ah!”

chin-

Before Cerise could finish speaking, I stepped on a sidewalk block that was just like a ghost and started to fall.

Ha… how can this really be possible? I’ve never seen any blocks sticking out like this when I look at the floor, so why step on something that looks like there aren’t many?

The land is getting closer. Pain will come soon…!

“Ugh..aaa..”

Come on.

And just before I hit the ground, my body rose into the air. And a warm feeling begins to spread through my body.

As I looked at the arm holding me reassuringly, I turned around and saw Seris with a sharp expression on her face.

“It’s really… a lot of work. I’m worried.”

“Uh…uhh…”

Because the wry smile was so beautiful and decadent at the same time. I couldn’t look at Cerise’s face.

“…It’s pretty good, right?”

“Fuck…! I should have gone first!”

“Everyone… are you desperate?”

Excited-excited.

After Ceris dropped me off, I felt like I was going out of my mind with an inexplicable pounding.

Why on earth is this happening? It certainly seemed like nothing was wrong.

At that time… right in front of the emperor, was it because I remembered the words they said while thinking of me?

As of yet, I’m not sure.

“Now~! Are you all here? Now let’s get started!”

anyway. My purpose was to see the magic, so I quickly approached before it started.

“Ah… can’t you see?”

However, the crowd was larger than expected and there was a wall that made it impossible to squeeze through.

In the end, being short, I couldn’t see anything other than people cheering.

“…I missed you.”

Since I have always liked magic, I was curious to see if there was any other magic in this world.

But I couldn’t see it… just a little bit. I think it was disappointing.

“Hey… Now go back-uh…uhhh!”

“Tskcha. Put your hands around my head.”

And just as I was about to leave in a gloomy mood, my body suddenly lifted. When I looked closely, I saw that Carly had lifted my body with both hands and placed it on her neck.

“Ah…no! Take me down…!”

“Ah, I wanted to see you. Put your hand on my head and look.”

“Ha…but!”

“Be quiet, stay.”

“…Hi. Yes..”

I was suddenly caught on a wooden horse, so embarrassed that my face was about to explode, I tried to get off, but Kali’s voice suddenly lowered, so I had no choice but to remain calm.

“Now~! Focus on this card! I won’t watch it!”

The magician seemed to be trying to do a card trick. The card he held out was the 7 of hearts. He blindfolded himself and held out the card only to the audience.

Sharak- Shalarak!

Then he started randomly shuffling the cards. The cards float in the air, then appear in the magician’s hand and begin to shuffle again.

It certainly seemed a little more spectacular than the magic seen on Earth. Does that really look like it uses magical power?

“Ta-da! I shuffled all the cards! Do you remember the card you saw?!”

“Yes…!”

Without realizing it, I was concentrating and answering. I thought many people would answer, but I was the only one who answered, so my voice rang out softly.

-Phew… Is it a child? I guess he came with his sister.

-But the woman who looks like your older sister is a beast? That child is human.

-Hehe. cute.

Holy shit…! Why is no one answering?

People’s smiling eyes turn to me. I feel like I want to hide in a mouse hole…!

“Hehe. Thanks for your answer. By the way, do you know how many cards there are in a pack, gentleman?”

“Yes…yes? Me?”

“Yes! It’s okay if you don’t know!”

“Ah…no! There are 52 cards!”

A normal card pack consists of 52 cards. If you have K, J, Q, and Ace cards consisting of hearts, spades, clovers, and diamonds, you will get 52 cards.

“Wow! You got it right! Please give everyone a round of applause!”

Clap clap clap!

-awesome! Awesome!!

-Hwiyuu!

No, I’m not a child! People seem to think of me as a child.

Of course, it’s true that my current body is so weak that I don’t like it, but I’m a strong adult…!

Clap clap clap.

“Hehe. It’s a hindrance.”

“You’re amazing, leader…!”

“Great.”

“Okay then. Of course you are great.”

And at that time, I heard applause and conversation right behind me.

I covered my face with my hands out of an inexplicable sense of betrayal.

stop…! Please stop…! If this continues, I will die of shame!!

“Hehe. You are a cute person. So, shall we continue the magic? ruler. Shall we all count the number of cards in my hand?!”

The magician slowly began dropping cards one by one. One, two, three. The cards fall to the floor one by one and then float in the air.

“50…51! In total, there are 51 sheets left! But isn’t it strange?! As the gentleman said, there are 52 cards!”

It was true. There were a total of 51 cards floating in the air. I counted again to see if I had counted incorrectly, but it was definitely 51.

“And… Among these cards, is there a card you’ve seen?!”

After listening to the magician’s words, I slowly began to look at the shapes of the cards. Obviously… the card I chose earlier was the 7 of Hearts.

Heart 7…. Heart 7….

“….Huh!”

crazy! There is no 7 of hearts! All the other cards were there, but the 7 hearts we chose was missing!

So where did the 7 hearts disappear? Even when the cards were mixed, I didn’t see them flying anywhere.

“Gentleman? Would you like to check your pockets?”

“Yes..? My pocket?”

“Yes! Thank you for taking a look!”

No way…no way…! I rummaged through my pants pockets with a trembling heart.

and.

“Huh!”

When I put my hand into my pants pocket, what I found was a card! And when I took out the card, a bright 7 heart card appeared.

“Is that the card you all saw~?!”

“Yes…yes!”

Clap clap clap!

The sound of cheering and applause resonates throughout the city. Of course, I also participated in it.

Magic is truly amazing to see. How did you really do it? I thought I saw it with my own eyes.

…Or, since it’s this world, did they really use magic? No, then what on earth did they do?

“Heart 7. The heart represents love, and the number 7 symbolizes good luck. I hope that your future love will last forever. Let’s finish the magic!”

Waaaa-!

Clap clap clap clap!!

As the magician strikes a pose, tremendous cheers and applause resound.

“…that magician. I guess I should give you a tip.”

“Mmmmm. You must be a great magician.”

“Hehe. It was a really fun magic trick.”

“You’re the best… Magician..!”

And the women who seemed less likely to respond cheered more enthusiastically than anyone else.

Since they seemed happy, I felt happy too.

My day, or rather our day, is not over yet.
