Cana said to him without worry: "This is simple, just prepare some shows. If you can't, there is still your story, with the picture that will move is enough to complete this mission. What you call... it enemation, as long as you prepare we can do It,"
"Is this really ok" Looking at Cana with no sense of tension, Mizuki frowned slightly and said.
"Don't worry, like this kind of big family's wedding banquet, the people who come to attend simply won't care about our performance. The purpose of attending this kind of banquet is just to climb each other's friendship. So, what we have to deal with are just those little children who were brought along, we are okay as long as those little children are satisfied." Knowing that he seemed a little nervous, Cana smiled and told him the actual situation of the banquet.
Hearing her words, he suddenly stunned. If only dealing with children is not a problem. This year, almost every week, as long as he is free, he will go with her to the orphanage to tell stories to those orphans. After this year's exercise, he has mastered how to deal with a variety of different personalities of small children.
"How is it, does it feel not quite the same as you imagined?" Seeing his frown gradually unfold, Cana smiled and imparted his experience to him, "In fact, compared to that kind of performance in the theater, this kind of performance does not need to be so strict, but one thing is more demanding than the theater, and that is to drive enough atmosphere. So, what you should pay attention to is not how the show is performed, but whether these shows can drive the emotions of the viewers..."
"Ye..."

At ten o'clock in the morning on the day of the banquet, guests arrived at the Colt family one after another. From this time onwards, Mizuki and Cana both had to start the show.
"It's really like you said, only some small children came over to watch our show. Adults won't care at all." A look at the three or two small children concentrated in front of the stage, he in the back while manipulating the materialized anime characters while chatting with Cana who used the magic cards to release various nice magic light balls on stage.
"Most small children will not stay there all the time, their attention will always be quickly diverted, and it won't be long before they tire of these shows and start exploring around the whole castle." Listening to the cheers of the small children below because of the gorgeous color changes, Cana replied with a light smile.
For these shows, Cana has long been familiar with them and coped with them easily. Her card magic is very comprehensive, it can be used for combat, divination, and even as summoning magic to use.
As time went on, the small children on the stage, just like Cana said, soon tired of the ever-changing colors. Without an audience, there was naturally no need to perform. The only thing that needed to be performed all the time was after 8 p.m., and that was the main part of this feast.
However, what made Cana and Mizuki both feel troubled was that a well-dressed young man in his twenties came on stage at some point. He looked at the constantly changing colors on the stage and asked Cana, "Don't you have any other performances? I'm tired of seeing this ever-changing color, every party is like this, isn't there anything more exciting in this world?"
"It looks like someone who knows what he's doing has come." As soon as Cana heard the other party's words, she immediately became interested, stopped the performance on stage, and asked the young man on the stage, "What kind of performance do you want to see?"
"Something special, preferably something I haven't seen before." The young man standing on the stage bought with a false smile that could be seen at a glance.
"Want to see a show that hasn't been done before? Then you've come to the right place." Cana was not angry at the annoying fake smile on the young man's face, which always appeared on young nobles like them because their acting skills had not yet reached the maturity of their fathers' generation.
Knowing that this young man wanted to see some special performances, so Cana went backstage and said to him, "Mizuki, a young man is coming from the stage, bring out those so-called magic performances of yours and show them to him."
"No problem." For what happened in the front, he watched it all from the back, and he was already prepared before Cana returned backstage. Therefore, at the same time as Cana spoke, he set up the easel and then controlled the anime character to walk up to the front stage with a few metal rings.
When the anime character walked onto the front stage, he controlled him to first hand the metal rings to the young man on the stage and said through the mouth of the anime character, "Come on, you can check if there is anything wrong with these metal rings."
"Hey, Mizuki. Aren't you afraid that the other person will get angry like this?" Cana immediately reminded him after hearing his request to the other party from the back in this world, this kind of request from him is an offense to people with certain big families.
"Don't worry, since he wants to see some show that he hasn't seen before, he shouldn't get annoyed over such a little thing," he replied with a knowing look.
As expected, the young man did not care about him, but took the metal rings and examined them one by one with a look of interest, while inquiring, "Oh? Is this part of the show?"
"Yes, because the next performance is these metal rings, that's why we have to let you as an audience check it in advance." he smiled faintly and took the metal rings from the young man's hand back to the center of the stage: "Well, you have checked these metal rings, they are indeed completely closed, right?"
"That's right, I'm pretty sure about that." The young man nodded and said.
"Then ..." He manipulated the anime character to pick up two metal rings and violently touch them toward the middle.
After a crisp 'ding' sound, the two metal rings in his hands magically passed through their respective metal edges and turned into two metal rings set together. Then he smiled and asked the young man, "Now, are you still sure they're completely closed metal rings?"
"Huh? What's going on here?" The young man was stunned and immediately walked up to the stage to take the metal rings that were set together from the anime character's hands and pulled them to the sides, and found that the two metal rings looked like they were originally set together.
When the metal edges collided, there was a 'tinkling' sound.
The magic of this world is magical, able to do many things unimaginable to ordinary people, such as changing the color of clothes, summoning strange creatures, flying in the sky, and even performing teleportation. but have seen no one perform such a show, and can not guess what kind of magic is used.
"Are you able to separate them again?" The young man asked after carefully examining it and handing the metal ring back to the anime character.
"Sure," he replied.
"Then can I stand here and watch?" The young man asked again.
"No problem." he had no intention of refusing the young man's request.
Seeing that he agreed, the young man became excited, and he seriously, without even blinking, stared at the metal ring in the anime character's hand, only to see the anime character pull the metal ring violently to the sides.
The 'ding' sound rang out again, and in the blink of an eye, the metal ring separated again into two separate metal rings.
"What's going on with this ...? I didn't notice you using magic. Does that mean it's not magic? Or is there something I didn't notice?" Under the super close observation, the young man did not find a magic circle appeared, which made him feel even more strange. Once again, the two separated metal circles were asked to come from the hands of the anime character, and once again more detailed examination was carried out, even so, detailed that he pressed every part of the two metal circles with his hands.
"It seems like he should be satisfied with this performance." Standing backstage, looking at the young man standing on the stage examining the metal rings, Cana said with a smiling look on her face.
"Yeah." he nodded and said, "He probably didn't even know that what was standing in front of him was a figure materialized by painting magic, and the reason the metal rings went through their respective edges was not that there was a mechanism on them, but because my painting magic could connect with real objects and thus change them ...
