Queen of the Night Market [Part 1]
Xue: Um. Japanese festivals are similar to those in China. They're interesting.
Xue: That's all. This is Wang Xue, from Gingaza.
Xue: ...Alright. With that, I've earned my paycheck. Did you get it?
Hikari: There's hardly anything usable! It's not interesting at all!
Xue: I only fulfilled the client's order. If you want my services, you'll have to pay for it out of your own pocket.
Hikari: Ghh, I shouldn't have bought so many takoyaki...!
Xue: What a waste of money...
Hikari: But they're festival specialties, so you can’t miss them! Plus, there were also frankfurters, fried chicken, and water balloons!
Hikari: Ta-da! Masks!
Hikari: Transform! My name is Festival Mask! Wasshoi!!!
Xue: That's the epitome of waste!
Girl: Uu…Sniff...
Hikari: Ah! I sense a crying girl! The ally of justice, Festival Mask! Here we come!
Girl: Huh...?!
Xue: You’re scaring her, festival weirdo.
Xue: Did you lose your mom?
Girl: ...If strangers talk to you, don't answer...
Hikari: B-but you're lost, right? Then we should go to the lost child center―!
Girl: No! I can't follow strange people I don’t know...!
Hikari: Treated as a suspicious person!?
Xue: Haha, you're quite composed. Can you at least tell us your name?
Girl: Can't say it... It's personal information...
Xue: That's fine. Protect yourself. That’s great.
Hikari: But if we don't know your name, it's a problem! Um...!
Hikari: Then big sis will buy you something! What do you want?
Girl: ...
Girl: Um... A cute witch mask...
Hikari: Got it! I'll buy it, so let's go to the lost child center...
Hikari: Eh...
Xue: What's wrong? Don’t just stand there frozen, hurry up and buy it.
Hikari: I'm out of allowance~! Xue~! Ueeehh...
Xue: Don't start crying too!? Jeez, this is hopeless...
Xue: Here, I bought it. Follow me, I'll do this for you.
Girl: ...I can't accept things from strangers...
Xue: I bought it for you, and it went to waste...
Hikari & Girl: Ueeeehh!!!
Xue: I'm the one who wants to cry here!
Xue: Jeez. It's annoying to do it for free, but oh well...
Xue: Alright, you. Look closely at this mask. Got it? One, two, three!
Girl: ! ...It disappeared...? Where's the mask...? How did you do that...?
Xue: Hahaha! Actually, I'm a wizard... No, a magician!
Hikari: I-I didn't know that!?
Xue: ...Hey, there's no time to be surprised. I'll use magic to capture this girl's attention and get some information out of her.
Hikari: I see, understood!
Xue: Alright, now, I'll show you some card magic. Draw a card and write your name on it, then mix it into this deck.
Girl: O-okay...!
Xue: Good. The card you chose is... this one. It's the Ace of Hearts, with Yui written on it, right?
Girl: A-amazing! How did you do that!? I want to see more!
Xue: Then next, I'll guess what you're thinking. Right now, you're feeling lonely and very anxious, aren't you? Am I right?
Girl: M-mhm...
Xue: Poor thing. Let's use magic to find out who you got separated from. Probably... hmm. It's someone important, maybe a family member?
Girl: Yes... My mom... I can't find her... Uuu...
Xue: You're lucky. I'm a great magician. I'll take you to your mother right away. Take my hand.
Girl: Miss Magician...! Okay...!
Hikari: Amazing. You're like a kidnapper.
Xue: Don't say weird things. I'm just used to dealing with my sisters.
Xue: Lost children panic and get lost even more. So, I distract them and keep them entertained.
Hikari: Hee~ as expected of big sis...
Girl: Miss Magician, what are you talking about?
Xue: Hm? Ah, it's about how skills can save your life. Even little tricks can come in handy sometimes.
Xue: Now. Next, I'll show you 4,000 year old Chinese acrobatics. Make sure to keep up, Yui.
Girl: Okay!
