Admirable Card Magic
Backstage Stories| Muku | Gently and carefully place the card… |
| Kazunari | You got this, Mukkun…! |
| Muku | … |
| *collapses* | |
| Kazunari & Muku | AHH!! |
| Muku | It fell over again… |
| Kazunari | You were sooo close~! |
| Making a card tower really is hard, huh~. | |
| Masumi | …Be quiet. |
| Muku | Wahh, sorry…! |
| Kazunari | You were here, Massu!? |
| You were sleeping over there, right—I didn’t even notice. My bad~. | |
| Masumi | *Sigh*… |
| Why are you guys making a card tower anyways? | |
| Kazunari | See, our roles in the upcoming show are based off a playing card motif, right? |
| Muku | So we were wondering if there was anything we could use cards for to prepare for our roles~. |
| Masumi | And that’s why a card tower, huh? That’s way too simple. |
| Kazunari | Well, I mean, as you play with the cards, you feel more and more attached to your own role, right? |
| …AHH! I got it! | |
| Hey, hey, Massu! Won’t you teach us some magic tricks!? | |
| Masumi | …Hah? |
| Kazunari | You can do close-up magic tricks with cards, right? |
| So, like, I’d love for you to teach us too~! | |
| Masumi | No thanks. |
| Kazunari | Ehh~! Pretty please! |
| It’s for role study, you know~! | |
| Muku | I’d like you to teach me too. |
| Please do! | |
| Masumi | …What a pain. |
| In that case, you can get Chikage to teach you. | |
| I learned my magic from Chikage too. | |
| So you should go to him. | |
| Kazunari | I see~. So true! |
| Thanks a ton, Massu! | |
| Then we’ll discuss with Chikachon right away~! | |
| Muku | Wahh, hold on, Kazu-kun…! |
| *leaves* | |
| Masumi | …It’s finally quiet. |
| Zzz, zzz… | |
| *knock knock* | |
| Chikage | Yes. |
| Kazunari | He’s here, he’s here~ |
| Chikachooon! | |
| Muku | Please excuse us. |
| Chikage | Kazunari. Muku. |
| What brings you two here? | |
| Kazunari | It’s your day off, so sorry about this. But the truth is, we've got a favour for you~. |
| Chikage | A favour? |
| Muku | We’re trying out lots of different ways to use cards to prepare for our roles… |
| Kazunari | So, if you’re cool with it, we wondered if you could teach us some card magic! |
| Chikage | This is for role study? |
| …Ahh, for the mixed troupe play, right? | |
| Kazunari | Bingo! |
| Chikage | Sure. |
| If you’re fine with me, then shall I teach you some close-up tricks? | |
| Kazunari | Woohoo!! |
| That’s Chikachon for you! Thanks, fam~! | |
| Muku | Thank you very much! |
| Chikage | You two are playing phantom thieves, right? |
| Kazunari | Yep! They’re based off a playing card motif, so we’re doing role study with cards. |
| Chikage | Makes sense. |
| Then card tricks might be just the perfect thing for you. | |
| Kazunari | You think so? |
| Chikage | Magic is fundamentally executed by deceiving others. |
| Now then, these cards have no tricks or gimmicks to them. | |
| Go ahead, check them yourself? | |
| Muku | …They’re regular cards. |
| Kazunari | Mhm. |
| Chikage | Now, choose a card you’d like. |
| Kazunari | Hm~… Then this one! |
| Chikage | After you’ve checked the card without me seeing it, put it back in the stack. |
| Kazunari | This is the suit and number. Got it, Mukkun? |
| Muku | Yes! |
| Kazunari | Then I’ll sliiip it back. |
| Chikage | I’ll shuffle the cards well… |
| And flip the card on the very top of the deck over… | |
| *flips* | |
| Kazunari & Muku | !! |
| Chikage | 5 of diamonds. |
| Is this your card, Kazunari? | |
| Kazunari | HOLY MOLY!! He got it!! |
| Muku | That’s amazing!! |
| Kazunari | How, how!? |
| Chikage | From the beginning, the words “no tricks or gimmicks” were all a lie. |
| Tricking people this way may be similar to what Phantom thieves do as well. | |
| Kazunari | Gotcha! |
| Chikage | That being said, I’ll teach you a trick that’s simple like this. |
| Kazunari | I can’t wait! Please do piko! |
| Muku | Like this… |
| Chikage | Exactly. You two have it down, huh? |
| Next, we’ll shuffle the cards. | |
| Do it like so… | |
| *shuffles* | |
| Kazunari | Ah, wait a sec! |
| You were shuffling them differently earlier, weren’t you, Chikachon? | |
| Chikage | Eh? Ahh, the riffle shuffle? |
| That’s because that method looks more impressive. | |
| But I think this way is easier. | |
| Kazunari | Ehh? I wanna do that other one too~! |
| Teach me, magician man! | |
| Chikage | Is that so? It’s a bit off track, but I guess it’s fine. |
| Alright, then do it like this… | |
| Kazunari | That was a good one, right? |
| Alright, one more time… | |
| *shuffles* | |
| N-nailed it!! | |
| Didn’t I look totally sick just now!? | |
| Muku | Yes! So cool! |
| It’s amazing you can do anything with your skills, Kazu-kun. | |
| Chikage | (They got the hang of it… but will this help them prepare for their roles?) |
| (Oh well, I'll just keep quiet since they look like they're having fun.) |
