“Magic trick… Hmm, I’ve heard that asking a magician about tricks is rude.”
It seemed that the host had concluded that I had performed some magic.
A somewhat evasive acknowledgment...
No, it was essentially an act of ignoring the truth.
The people around just laughed, as if they understood, amused by it, and no one corrected his thoughts.
“Magic, huh… It's been a very long time since I've seen it in person.”
Well, perhaps that softened the mood a bit, right?
