The Daring Daichi's Dastardly Magic Show~! | Daichi and Kasie | Talent Show
Kasie took deep breaths before she plastered a shaky grin on her face, awkwardly stepping onto stage with must reluctance. She hadn’t expected to be this nervous, but then again, she had to suck it up! After all, she was the one who had asked Daichi to perform with her, so that’s why she had to follow up on her words. All she had to do was remind herself that these were all familiar faces. The tracker coughed briefly to clear her throat before she shook her hands in reminiscence of jazz hands. “Welcome to the daring Damnichi- I mean Darnichi- I mean, DAICHI’s dastardly and hopefully not disastrous magic show!” The young police officer stepped on stage during that thrilling introduction. He didn’t even try to hide the confusion on his face, raising a brow as he made his way over to Kasie. With every step the black cloak tied around his neck swayed and floated above the ground. He couldn’t help but think of Nagisi.
Once in his spot he gave a small bow to the audience and smiled. “Good afternoon! Be prepared to… erm, be amazed by the not so disastrous tricks we have in store.”
Daichi moved the cloak from his side and reached into his jacket pocket. From within one of the inside pockets he revealed what appeared to be a set of pink fuzzy handcuffs, face now a deep shade of red. “F-For our first trick… w..well, you’ll see. Kasie? Could you turn around?” Daichi waited until his partner was facing the other way before locking her hands together behind her back. “Now then….” He looked towards the other side of the stage as he began to search inside his jacket pocket for something else.
Eeeeee! It was the pink handcuffs! They were so adorable! Kasie beamed, her earlier anxieties went out the window, as she caught sight of them. Well, they weren’t so much in sight when they were clasping her hands behind her. Maybe they could skip onto the next trick. After all, she kind of… wanted to keep the handcuffs to herself. They were just so fluffy! Plus, they came with a little safety notch. With a flick of a thumb, she unlocked the handcuffs with no problem and sheepishly shoved them into her pocket.
"Tadah! The handcuffs magically disappeared! Now, onto our second trick!"
"Wait, what?"
Daichi turned around. This wasn’t part of the trick at all! He quickly looked at the audience, as if searching for some explanation, then looked back at Kasie.
"… No, no no. Those were part of the trick. You’re going to have to put those back on. Where’d you put them?"
Kasie merely whistled as innocently as she could, eyes unable to stare right into Daichi’s own. She gestured vaguely to nothing in particular, trying to figure out a direction where she could use as an excuse.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about. They vanished. Just like magic! Good job, Daichi!" Daichi was not having any of this. They had an agreement, didn’t they? Daichi could keep the handcuffs while Kasie could have-
"Oh no you don’t. I’m the magician here. If you’re not going to hand them over then I’ll take them back by force."
He stepped over to Kasie and without warning reached out for her pocket. Like hell was he going to be embarrassed in front of everyone because she couldn’t keep her greedy mitts off his stuff!
… Wait, what?
Daichi had found the pair of handcuffs alright… along with something else. He tugged the cuffs out of her pocket and found that they were attached to something.
"….?"
Slowly he pulled on the handcuffs, revealing that they were attached to a pair of underwear. Why was he not surprised? He would have scolded her on the spot if it wasn’t for the fact that the pair of underwear was tied to… another pair? And another. And another.
And another. And another. They just kept coming until a pair from presumably each student all slipped out. Uh-oh. Her cover was blown. Her hands immediately latched onto the rope of undies and tugged with all her strength. There was no way Daichi was getting /his/ greedy mitts all over /her/ stuff.
"That’s illegal! I’m going to have to arrest you for theft of /my/ underwear! You get a time-out in the corner of loneliness! Bad Daichi!"
Daichi wanted nothing to do with the rope of undies. He waited for a moment where Kasie wasn’t using a lot of force to pull at the rope before letting go, sighing. “We’ll talk about this later. We still have a show to run!”
He looked back at the audience and flashed a nervous smile. “O-Onto the next part of our act!” He revealed a deck of cards and displayed them for the audience before starting to shuffle them.
"Alright, Kasie. I’m going to have you pick a card. But don’t show it to me, alright? Here, I’ll even look away."
The officer displayed fanned out all 52 cards in his hand for the tracker to pick from. Once a card was in her hand Daichi folded the cards back together and turned around.
Ace of Hearts. Oh! She knew just the thing of what to do with it. It’d be perfect! Hopefully, Daichi wouldn’t mind too much if she did this. After all, it was the least he could do since he did take back the handcuffs from her. The nerve of that lemon at times! Either way, she knew the routine of this trick. She made sure to show the card to the judges to confirm before she whipped out a small pen from her pocket to jot a tiny note down on it.
It was only until she was finished before she turned around to tap Daichi on the shoulder while discreetly slipping the card down the other’s pants. “I’m all done memorizing the card! The judges are too!”
"Ah? Done already?" Daichi turned around and displayed the deck to her, fanned out like before. "Place the card in the deck and I’ll shuffle it up!"
Kasie merely gave Daichi a sheepish smile as she shrugged, opening her hands out to reveal that the card was no longer in her lands.
"Daichi, I kind of lost the card. It disappeared by magic. Sooo, like, it’s exactly where you might expect it to be. Like, if you know me by now."
"Wh…?"
Wasn’t he supposed to be the one doing the magic tricks!? Slowly Daichi fanned the cards back into a nicely stacked deck.
"…. Kasie. Where… Am I going to have to search your pockets?!"
Kasie merely kept quiet with the exception of the occasional giggle. Her only answer to Daichi’s question was having her eyes trail down towards Daichi’s pants.
He didn’t like where her eyes were going. He almost forgot about the judges, cheeks slowly becoming rosy and his neck becoming quite toasty under his collar and tie.
"….. You didn’t…"
NYOOM. Kasie bolted off the stage before Daichi could send her off to be arrested. As the tracker pranced away with laughter, she made sure to chime in her last words before she made her way into a different cart. “And that’s all, folks!”
With Kasie gone, Daichi looked at the judges. He gave a deep bow and quickly bolted in the opposite direction into the other cart.
