Chapter 32: Provocation (1/2)

“That’s amazing, it’s like magic, how do you do that?” Clara looked at him in surprise.

“You also choose one, remember it, and don’t let me see.”

Clara, from the spread out card, selected a card and carefully looked at it.

“Put the card back and wash it yourself.” Masashi knocked the table and pointed at the rest of the cards.

So, after Clara selected the card, she mixed it back with the others and washed it up.

“Are you finished?”

Clara nodded her head.

Masashi held the whole cards his hand and said to Clara: “Now the whole card has been shuffled, it is impossible to find out the right card, so I need you to help me. Now stretched out your right hand, and carefully think about your card, and focus it on your right hand.”

Clara obediently extended her right arm then closed her eyes and thought very seriously.

The atmosphere became very mysterious, and everyone was so engrossed in watching Masashi and Clara.

“That’s enough, now open your eyes, then use the back of your right hand to pat the card on my hand.”

Clara obediently patted the cards with the back of her right hand. One of the card on Masashi’s hand gently floated down, and when it fell face up, it showed a King of hearts.

“This is it. Magical!” She grabbed Masashi’s hand to take a look. She didn’t understand how could the card that she choose would fall from his hand.

Everyone laughed and clapped vigorously. Except for that boy, who looked at Masashi with an ashen face.

“Lovely lady, can you dance with me?” When everyone was dancing on the dance floor, Masashi smiled to Kazumi and said.

“I don’t know how to dance.” Kazumi a bit shyly said.

“It’s very simple. I’ll teach you.” Then he pulled her to the dance floor.

After several times stepping on Masashi’s feet, Kazumi’s dance began to take shape, although her movement was still very stiff.

“I was right, wasn’t I? This is really simple.”

“Brother, sorry, are your feet still hurt?” Kazumi apologetically looked at Masashi.

“Little fool, what kind of people do you think your brother is? I am the so-called coarse-skinned, thick-fleshed man.” Masashi said with a smile.

Kazumi laughed and silently put her head on his chest.

“Oh yeah, Kazumi, did my appearance change a lot? Otherwise, why did each of my former classmates say that I did change?” Masashi touched his face and asked.

“Fool, did you never look in the mirror?”

Masashi thought for a moment, then said: “It seems like I am different than before.”

Kazumi, watching Masashi pretended to be serious, laughed and gently hugged him, then said: “Brother, may I stay by your side please?”

“Suit yourself, as long as you’re fine with me bothering you.”

Kazumi squinted her eyes and lightly laughed: “I’ll be the one who trouble you.”

After dancing through a song, Masashi took Kazumi aside to rest.

“Do you want anything? There’s probably no coffee here. How about orange juice?”

Kazumi nodded her head.

Masashi went to the front desk to buy a soft drink. A girl came over. She was the girl wearing white dress who previously stood next to Clara.

“You’re really a good brother. Can you buy me a drink?” That girl charmingly looked at him.

“Please bring me a glass of juice to the lady.” Masashi said to the bartender at the front desk.

“Did you just buy me a glass of juice?” That girl said, smiling.

“Then please add two chunks of ice.”

The bartender gave a faint smile on her lips.

The girl laughed: “Fool, did you never drink wine with a girl?”

“A juice should be fine for a child. Nobody stipulated that one should drink alcohol at the bar.” Masashi said lightly.

The girl’s face changed, “Do you think you’re so great? What makes you said I still a child!”
