The hidden talent show ca to an end with all entries complete, and it was ti for the results announcent. This ti, the prize was straightforward, money, so as Alice had planned, things wrapped up peacefully. When I first heard that the organizer was Makina-san, I had so worries, but in the end, it turned out to be quite an enjoyable event.
"Now then, let’s move on to the results of the hidden talent show. As I ntioned beforehand, prize money will be awarded to the top five participants. First off, and I’m sure everyone’s already figured it out, first place goes to…… the only contestant to receive a perfect score: Olivia-san. Congratulations!"
"Yeah, Olirin’s performance at the very start had an incredible impact. Usually in contests like this, going first can put you at a disadvantage since you beco the benchmark for everyone else, but she overwheld everyone with a perfect score right from the start."
In the end, Olivia-san was the only one to get a perfect score, so she naturally took first place. I an, it couldn't be helped, when it ca to surprise and impact, Olivia-san was in a league of her own.
"Let’s now hear a few words from Olivia-san……"
"Thank you very much."
"……Now, how about a few words for Kaito-san?"
"It was an honor and a great joy to be given the opportunity to present my hidden talent before the esteed Miyama Kaito-sama. My foremost goal was to bring enjoynt to Miyama Kaito-sama; the results were secondary. Still, I am deeply honored to receive such a result. This art is one I have never shown in public before, but if it is Miyama Kaito-sama's wish, I would gladly perform it for you anyti. Please don’t hesitate to ask. Once again, thank you very much for today."
"……She really doesn’t waver, huh?"
When Alice asked for a comnt, Olivia-san simply gave a brief thank-you with a small bow, but the mont she was asked to speak to directly, her eyes sparkled as she gave that passionate response. Like Alice said, she was incredibly straightforward, but honestly, I found it kind of cute.
"Next, in second place…… with 24 points, is the Imperial Knight Commander of Archlesia Empire, Bard-san. Congratulations!"
"He had this stiff, uptight image, but he actually showed a pretty quirky side, it was a lot of fun."
And so second place went to Bard-san…… To be honest, I hadn’t spoken with him much before, though I had exchanged a few words when visiting Chris-san. He always ca across as a serious, by-the-book knight.
So to see him pull off a rather codic street performance ca as a total surprise. He even ntioned that at one point in his life, he’d been torn between becoming a knight or a street perforr. It was fun to watch, and the contrast between his usual deanor and the performance was striking.
His comnt as the second-place winner was also properly composed. Even having seen the act with my own eyes, I found myself doubting it had really been him, that’s how surprising it was.
"Now for third place…… It’s a tie between two acts: the duo of Akane-san and Kaori-san, and Kuro-san, each with 22 points."
"Co to think of it, no one got 23 points huh~~?"
Just like Fate-san said, there weren’t any 23-point scores. So third place was shared by the pair of Akane-san and Kaori-san, who perford a water magic show, and Kuro-san, who took the unusual approach of making regular castellas.
"Well~~ I’m just glad we made it into the top ranks. Kaori was the main star, and I just got splashed with water, but hey, it got results, so getting wet was worth it."
"T- Thank you very mush……"
Akane-san, as usual, showed no signs of nerves and gave her comnt with ease. On the other hand, Kaori-san was clearly stiff and even fumbled her words a little.
"H- Hmmm, well, I’m happy with the result and all but…… there’s just sothing off about how making regular castellas is being treated like so kind of freak event……"
Kuro wore a slightly conflicted expression, but personally, I think she was the top when it ca to surprise factor, so in that sense, it was a well-deserved ranking.
In fact, Kuro’s score ca from myself and Alice, who are very familiar with her extre obsession with baby castella, both giving her full marks, while Chronois-san, Lilia-san, and Canalis-san, who hadn’t witnessed as much of that firsthand, each gave her four points.
"And next is fourth place."
"Ah, so even if it’s a tie, we don’t skip ranks huh."
"Well, since it’s just prize money, there’s no point in skipping ranks. It’s better to spread it out to more people, which also encourages participation next ti. So, fourth place goes to the duo of Aoi-san and Hina-san, who scored 21 points."
"They did that track and field thing, right? So there really is stuff like that in the other world. Since the races are only for humans, I guess things are quite different from here."
Fourth place went to Aoi-chan and Hina-chan, who were both on the track and field team, showcasing several events. Of course, they didn’t do anything like long-distance running, which takes a lot of ti, they perford events like the high jump.
Since I knew both of them were in the track team, it wasn’t that surprising to , but for the other judges, track and field itself was a rare event that scored high points.
Well, considering the big differences in height, muscle strength, and species in this world, competing in events like track and field would be difficult, so it made sense that it was sothing unusual.
Finally, in fifth place was the cody duo of Dr. Vier and Funf-san, who perford manzai. With prizes handed out to the top five, the hidden talent show ca to a close.
Serious-senpai : [……Yeah, almost all readers probably had forgotten about him, right? Archlesia Empire's Knight Commander Bard, I an.]
