Ch. 140 - Cultural Festival 20 - Before the Three-Way Meeting, Speyside's Presentation…
"I apologize for the wait. I was planning on returning immediately, but I never expected it to take this long... I'm truly sorry."
I went to Tis, who had been waiting while watching the presentations, and the first thing I did was apologize for the delay. She shook her head from side to side in a very apologetic manner.
"N-no, please don't worry about it."
Perhaps out of politeness, Tis said that. I bowed to Tis again.
"I apologize again. So, Ramsay-san was more formidable than I expected, and the time for the next presentation is approaching… Would it be alright to have our consultation after that presentation? If the evening is difficult, I can make time tomorrow."
"...Um, you say the guardian of Bushmills was just 'formidable'…? No, never mind. I have time, so after the presentation is fine."
"Thank you. Then, I will be off for a bit. Ah, I think the next presentation will be very worthwhile, so please do watch it."
"Eh? More so than the current presentations? That's a little scary though..."
After that exchange, I headed over to Speyside.
At the back of the plaza, I saw Speyside, with his arms crossed, arranging the equipment I had prepared.
"Oh, Aoi-sensei. I'm grateful. I wanted your advice on how to arrange this."
Hearing that, I looked around the plaza. There was plenty of space. However, it was a completely flat venue.
"Well then, let's start by creating some unevenness with earth magic. I think it would be effective to install the lighting in those recessed areas. I will prepare the rest of the stage."
"Understood. Then, I'll leave it to you."
After a short meeting, as if it were a signal, the bell rang.
In front of the audience gathered in the plaza, Speyside bowed elegantly. He originally had theatrical movements, but now, as it was a presentation, it looked very beautiful.
Gathering everyone's attention, Speyside opened his mouth with a smile.
"To everyone who has gathered, I am Speyside Ord, and I teach water magic at Fiddiq Academy. In this presentation, I will demonstrate magic that uses very delicate manipulation. Please watch while being observant of even the smallest details."
Speyside spoke eloquently in a sonorous voice. It seemed that he had a personality that was good at presentations. He looked more dignified than during our usual conversations.
As I was admiring Speyside, he smiled again, looked around at everyone, and opened his mouth.
"First, let's prepare the stage."
After that preamble, he began the incantation for earth magic. The earth began to rise in places, and several small mountains were formed in the plaza. Speyside was standing at the centre of it all, but he had remodelled the venue in a way that kept him visible.
After confirming that the shape of the ground was set, he used wind magic.
"Wind Bearer, Air Raid"
As he spoke the magic name, the coloured glass pieces that he had prepared beforehand fluttered through the air and were set up throughout the venue.
"Now then, let's finally demonstrate water magic. Everyone, please try not to blink as much as possible."
When Speyside said that with a mischievous smile, cheers rose up. I was slightly irritated, but well, it couldn't be helped.
"Momentary Night, Magic Knight"
I cast an auxiliary spell to make it look better. The moment the magic manifested, thick clouds formed in the sky so as to shade the plaza. The clouds were formed at an extremely close distance of several dozen meters above the ground, so the shadows darkened the plaza like night.
In the middle of all that, Speyside's magic was complete. Water gushed out around Speyside like a fountain one after another, creating several thin pillars of water.
Confirming that, I combined fire and water magic and activated a magic to create light.
"Line Light, Light Band"
As I said the magic name, light emitted from each of the installed coloured glass pieces, beautifully illuminating the fountains that Speyside had created.
At that fantastic sight, more sighs of admiration than cheers could be heard from the audience.
Perhaps pleased with the audience's reaction, the beautiful fountain show continued on for several minutes, and at the end, Speyside, soaked in water, bowed like a first-class showman, and the curtain closed.
It was a very good show, as water magic, the positional adjustment of the multiple water pillars, and the strength of the water flow must have been very delicate and difficult. I later heard that the audience's reaction made it the best presentation so far.
