She nodded and turned the hat upside-down and started to shake it quite hard. After a short while, still nothing fell out, so she turned the hat around once again and started searching with her hands. Aoko still couldn’t find anything and smiled at Kaito.
“There’s nothing inside!”
“Great! Now…”
Kaito gently took the remaining dove from his shoulder and pulled a small blue cloth from a pocket, tying it to the bird’s right leg. After he made sure it was secure, he held it up so that everyone could see.
“What I’m planning to do is teleport Sora here…” he now indicated the top hat with the other arm, “into the hat currently held by my assistant.”
A wide grin spread across his face.
“And when I say teleport…”
A puff of pink smoke covered Sora for a moment before it dissipated, revealing that the bird was gone.
“…I do mean it!”
A sudden explosion of confetti erupted from the hat, covering Aoko, and a flash of white flew out, with the blue cloth on its leg. The other two doves took off soon after, now carrying ribbons in their beaks.
They circled around the room twice before soaring back to the girl, landing on her hands to drop the ribbon neatly into the hat.
