Chapter 59

"This..."

"Eh? Why did Lumine sit on Su Bai's lap?" Paimon and Furina were dumbfounded on the spot.

They completely couldn't understand what was going on.

Lumine froze for a few seconds before realizing she had already switched positions.

But she felt no shyness; instead, she wrapped her arms around Su Bai's neck, kissed him, and said, "I didn't expect the husband I got for free to be a Grand Magician."

"Life from now on definitely won't be boring."

Furina: "Ahem... when showing off your sweetness, could you at least look at The surrounding environment first... really..."

However, for Su Bai, he didn't understand the principles behind magic at all.

The reason he could do it was simply a spatial transfer spell.

So compared to Lin Ni's Grand Magic, Su Bai still held it in high regard.

"Since you can also perform magic, why did you sigh just now?"

"Could it be that you think Lin Ni's performance wasn't spectacular enough?"

Paimon's curiosity overflowed.

"Him? He must think Lynette's clothes were changed too quickly."

Lumine let out a coquettish laugh.

"You know that too?" Su Bai was stunned, then smiled and said, "No good, you know too much."

"Punishment will be required in a moment."

【"Oh! Wonderful."】

【"Loud applause echoed through the opera house."】

【"Even Furina, sitting in the VIP seats, couldn't help but clap and cheer after her surprise."】

【"She also couldn't help but steal glances at Su Bai sitting beside her."】

【"But she found that the other party was calmly drinking tea, showing no reaction whatsoever."】

【"Um..."】

【"Hehehe..."】

【"Is the magic performance not spectacular enough? I see you don't seem very interested."】

【"It's fine, very good."】

【"Clearly, he just wasn't watching."】

【"This perfunctory attitude was too obvious."】

【"Furina was dissatisfied with Su Bai's answer."】

【"Her pouting lips twitched slightly."】

【"Thinking: If you aren't interested, why did you come?"】

【"You haven't come to watch a performance in a hundred years, and suddenly you show up today."】

【"It made me unable to watch freely."】

【"Next, Lin Ni performed another magic trick of transfer and disappearance for everyone."】

【"He selected a lucky female audience member to enter the box at the theater entrance, while Lin Ni would enter the box on stage."】

【"Finally, the two positions would be swapped."】

【"During the transfer, I hope everyone will shout out the countdown together."】

【"Starting from sixty down to zero, I will appear at the entrance."】

【"Lin Ni smiled and entered the box on stage."】

【"In an instant, loud countdown voices rang out through the opera house."】

【"The atmosphere on site was exceptionally lively and excited; everyone looked forward to witnessing the moment of miracle."】

【"Until the very last second."】

【"The box at the entrance began to stir."】

【"The moment the door opened, Lin Ni appeared before everyone."】

【"Oh! It succeeded."】

【"Amazing."】

【"He actually succeeded."】

【"Cheers erupted from the scene."】

【"Furina even stood up excitedly, looking bewildered, as if she didn't understand how the other party did it."】

【"The whole crowd cheered for Lin Ni's Grand Magic, but only Su Bai, with a slight frown on his brow, had a face that turned exceptionally ugly."】

Interesting; Su Bai's unchanging expression finally changed.

The live stream room.

Arataki Itto: "What's wrong, Brother Su Bai, surely you were also shocked by such Brilliant Magic?"

Kujou Sara: "I don't think so. I feel Mr. Su Bai's expression doesn't look like shock at the magic performance, but rather very..."

Lisa: "Fierce?"

Nahida: "Yes, I saw a flash of anger in Mr. Su Bai's eyes."

Venti: "Anger? Mr. Su Bai has such a good temper; would he get angry?"

Yae Miko: "Having a good temper and getting angry seem to be two different things."

Lynette: "Why would Mr. Su Bai get angry at his brother?"

Dvalin: "What did this little magician do while performing the magic?"

Lin Ni: "This..."

Arlecchino: "No need to be nervous, Lin Ni. Speak your mind; it's fine."

Lin Ni: "Alright, Father. Actually, this magic trick of mine is a sham. The true purpose was to get close to the core of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale beneath the Opera House."

Jean: "Ah?"

Navia: "Lin Ni and the others were actually raised by the Fatui Harbingers."

Diluc: "The Fatui, then? That explains it."

Tartaglia: "You seem to have quite an issue with us Fatui."

Paimon: "Master Diluc once said that if he had to choose between joining the Fatui or swallowing a Cryo Shi Laimu whole, he'd rather be crushed by a meteor from the sky into a crack in the earth."

Tartaglia: "....."

Osial: "That's ruthless."

Arataki Itto: "True manly spirit."

【However, a problem arose with the magic when opening the box on the magic table.】

【The chosen audience girl who was supposed to appear was instead crushed along with the entire box by a huge water tank that suddenly fell from above.】

【The person who died was Lin Ni's assistant, Cowell, while the previously chosen girl went missing.】

【After Neuvillette's judgment, the accident caused by this magic performance was no longer within the scope of a simple accident.】

【It was highly likely to be connected to the previous case of the girl's disappearance.】

【"I see."】

【"The one who died in the failed magic was Lin Ni's assistant, but the one who went missing was that chosen girl."】

【Furina muttered to herself.】

【Suddenly, she seemed to understand something.】

【"Now that I think about it, Lin Ni's opening words about 'from nothing to something, from something to nothing' were truly provocative."】

【"Was it using the form of magic to cover up the truth of the missing girl?"】

【Furina's words were heard by everyone present.】

【Seeing this, Neuvillette could only speak up and ask: "Lady Furina, may I understand your previous statement as an accusation against Mr. Lin Ni and his companions?"】

【Eh?】

【Furina was stunned, her hands instinctively blocking her chest, assuming a defensive posture.】

【Her entire aura vanished without a trace due to the fright.】

【She hurriedly said: "I... I just think that talking about accusations right now might be a bit premature, wouldn't it?"】
