"Before the performance begins, I would like to express my special thanks to our special guests on the second floor!"
Upon hearing this, the audience immediately looked up at the second floor, their faces showing curiosity. What about the special guests?
Shotaro and the other two suddenly looked at Terui Ryu, who remained calm. "Could the special guest be Inspector Kujo???"
Terujiro nodded without denying it.
"It really is true, but just her isn't enough to qualify her as a special guest, is it?"
Shotaro frowned. He didn't think that Aya Kujo's identity would make Frank Shirogane care so much. Philip and Akiko thought the same thing. But when faced with the three's questioning gazes, Ryu Terui just smiled mysteriously.
Next!
The curtains covering the second floor were pulled back, and the so-called special guests came into view; there were four of them.
Kujo Aya was prominently listed.
However, neither her appearance nor her status could compare with the other three.
The reason is simple: one of them is Sonozaki Saeko, the cold and noble eldest daughter of the Sonozaki family.
There was also a woman who was her younger sister.
Princess Fuuto, Sonozaki Wakana!
The last and only male is a man who is the son-in-law of the Sonozaki family, the eternal Kamen Rider, and the god of Fuuto.
His name is Lu Chen.
During this period, there have been many rumors that in the Sonozaki family, the head of the family, Sonozaki Ryubei, has begun to step down, and the person in charge of the discourse is Lu Chen, who is the son-in-law, in addition to his other identities.
Lu Chen has become the most well-known and truly capable figure in the entire Fengdu.
none of them!
The above four people can be referred to as special guests.
Well deserved.
"No way... So it's actually a good thing that Inspector Kujo didn't come with us?"
Zuo Xiangtaro's lips twitched. If she had come with them, she would only have been able to stay in the regular first-floor audience seats, but with Lu Chen and the others...
However, they were able to sit in the VIP audience seats on the second floor.
"When did Officer Kujo become so close to them?" Akiko asked, puzzled.
Shotaro and Philip were also completely bewildered, having no idea when Aya Kujo, this beautiful policewoman who had only recently arrived, had become so close to the Sonozaki family.
"I believe everyone is familiar with our special guests today, so I won't go into too much detail. In short, I am very grateful and honored that they could come."
Frank Baiyin bowed deeply to Lu Chen and the others as he spoke, then added:
"Next, I'd like to introduce my partner, who is also my successor, my granddaughter Lily Shirogane."
The cheers from the crowd suddenly erupted into a frenzy.
Just as Shotaro and the others were puzzled, a woman slowly walked out from backstage.
Her delicate face was as beautiful as Wakana's, and her figure was as tall as Saeko's. What's even more striking is that she was wearing black shorts, with her fair and tender legs tightly wrapped in black stockings.
Wearing high heels and cute bunny ear headbands, she exudes allure and is the kind of woman who could make anyone's nose bleed.
"Wow!"
Shotaro, who had been uninterested, suddenly brightened up and his mouth dropped open.
"This...this is so beautiful!"
He finally understood why the audience erupted in cheers no less enthusiastic than when they saw Wakana and the others as special guests, when they heard that Lily Shirogane was going to appear.

I finally understood the allure of magic.
"You perverted and idiotic detective, I kind of regret letting you come." Akiko rolled her eyes at Shotaro's infatuated look.
Shotaro Hidari ignored Akiko's disdain and kept his gaze fixed on Lily Shirogane, then saw her standing next to her grandfather Frank Shirogane.
She turned around, her face slightly flushed, and greeted the special guests on the second floor with a smile:
"Hello, distinguished guests, thank you so much for coming to watch. Although this is my first time performing on stage, I will definitely not let you down!"
As he spoke, he bowed deeply.
Lu Chen, who was positioned high up, could see everything clearly.
Yes, it is indeed very deep.
He smiled slightly and said:
"I am looking forward."
"Thank you 8939!" Upon hearing this, Lily Silver became even more excited, and of course, she also became noticeably more nervous.
As a special guest, Lu Chen's casual, polite remark could cause Lily Shirogane's emotions to fluctuate greatly.
"no......"
"This is such unfair treatment!"
Seeing that Lily and Shirogane specifically expressed their gratitude to the special guests but did nothing for audience members like themselves, they went backstage to prepare.
Shotaro was very dissatisfied.
"So what if we treat each other differently? What can you do about it?" Akiko said dismissively while eating her steak.
"Although it's hurtful to say, Lu Chen is someone we can't compare to, whether in terms of fame or anything else."
Philip spoke calmly, his eyes fixed on Wakana Sonozaki, who was chatting and laughing with Lu Chen on the second floor. He didn't know why, but before, he had felt some reservations about this, subconsciously wanting Princess Wakana to stay away from that scumbag Lu Chen. But now…
He actually thought the two were a good match.
Regardless of what everyone thought, the magic trick began, and Frank Shirogane opened his arms.
His face was full of pride.
"Next, I will perform the magic trick that embodies my life's work, the Vanishing Magic Trick."
"My granddaughter will be taking on her first challenge: escaping danger from a completely enclosed space."
Lily Shirogane had somehow slipped into the transparent box, and then, with the curtain covering her, she disappeared into the darkness.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned curious.
"Then please pay attention..."
“1! 2! 3!!!”
As soon as Frank Baiyin finished speaking, he suddenly lifted the curtain, revealing that the room was empty.
"real or fake?"
Shotaro's eyes widened.
Can a living person really just vanish into thin air?
Not only were the audience greatly shocked, but even Frank Shirogane, the magician himself, seemed to have sensed something, and his expression turned somewhat strange.
This strangeness caught Philip's attention, and he stroked his chin, saying:
"This feels a bit suspicious."
......
Lu Chen and the others, who were on the second floor and had a clearer view, naturally noticed this as well.
There's no one in the office either.
Kujo Aya said with a slight frown.
“It must have used a memory device; I can sense its presence,” Saeko said.
"In other words, she can't be called a magician yet; she's just relying on her memory."
Wakana shook her head.
She then continued eating the cake in front of her, and didn't forget to feed Lu Chen the strawberries on the cake.
