"Again?"

Seeing the store manager's complicated expression, Sakura couldn't help but be a little curious: "Sister Maki, do you know why Chiharu's doll appears here?" ”

Although it is strange that the doll that was stolen at Chiharu's house suddenly appeared in the doll shop, looking at the attitude of the store manager, she seems to know something.

The store manager heard Sakura's question, and after a moment of silence, he sighed deeply and said, "I used to open a store in another town, and the same thing happened, and it happened several times in a row. ”

Speaking of this, the store manager's voice trembled a little, and even her tone was full of sadness and loss.

"So there were some rumors that if you buy something in my store, you will encounter thieves, but because I have not been able to catch the culprit, some people have begun to suspect that I directed and acted by myself."

By the end, the store manager's tone had become a little choked, as if he was about to cry: "I'd better lock up the store......"

"How can you ......?"

The kind-hearted Sakura was immediately a little unbearable, and Chiyo couldn't help but say, "It's a pity, such a great store." ”

Xia Yu, who has always been a transparent person, doesn't feel anything, after all, this is the first time he has come to this store, although the store is not big, but after observation, he can also feel that the owner is taking care of it.

As for the breath of the Kuro cards...... He still didn't feel anything, and he remembered the plot that time he remembered, and this time he didn't remember it at all.

And he didn't even know what a Kuro card was, and even if he had the "show me the way" spell, he couldn't help it.

There are fifty-four Kuro cards, many of which are used to make up the numbers, because there are only nineteen Kulo cards in the comics, and the animation has been increased to fifty-two positive cards and two special cards in order to match the playing cards.

Therefore, except for a few impressive cards and important plot twists, he only has a vague memory of other daily plots.

On the other side, the store manager heard Sakura's dissuasion, shook his head and said sadly: "I still can't help it alone, I was once engaged, the other party was a doll designer, but he died accidentally, he likes dolls very much, he dreams of selling the dolls he designed in his own store." ”

"Sister Maki......"

Sakura and Chiyo looked at the store manager's back with his back to them, and for some reason their hearts were filled with sadness.

They wanted to open their mouths to comfort the store manager, but they opened their mouths but didn't know what to say, even if they were precocious, they were just elementary school students with no emotional experience after all.

How can they comfort each other?

"If I give up, he will probably be very sad, but I have ......"

For a while, the atmosphere in the store was a little depressing, but soon, the store manager wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and now there are students present, innocent and carefree elementary school students are not suitable for listening, she still understands this.

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it......"

The store manager stabilized his emotions, then pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled reluctantly: "Let you worry about me, it's not too early, you can go home quickly." ”

Looking at the store manager's reddened eyes, Sakura was silent for a moment, didn't say anything more, and after saying goodbye to the store manager, she silently left the toy store.

Seeing this, Chiyo and Natsuyu nodded goodbye to the store manager together, and then followed Sakura.

After walking in silence for a while, Sakura suddenly turned around and looked at Chiyo and Natsuyu who were following behind her: "I want to help Sister Maki, whether it's Kurot cards or not, I want to help Sister Maki." ”

"Zhishi, classmate Xia, you will help me, right?"

Hearing this, Zhishi and Xia Yu looked at each other and smiled, and one person responded in a word.

"Of course."

"We're friends."

Hearing the answers of the two, Sakura couldn't help but step forward and take the hands of the two, and said with some emotion, "Thank you!" ”

Since you have decided to help the manager of the toy store, you must first determine whether the incident is caused by the Kuro cards, and if so, you must solve it as soon as possible.

After all, the store manager is already thinking about closing, and if it drags on for a few more days, maybe the store manager will really close the store and stop operating.

……

Night, Kinomoto's house.

Sakura's room.

Sakura, Chiyo, and Natsuyu gather here, all dressed in their regular clothes, and are asking Xiao Ke questions about the stolen dolls.

"Collect the doll's cullo cards?"

Xiao Ke sat on the bed with his arms crossed, frowned and thought, "How can there be such a strange card, it doesn't matter at all." ”

"Are you sure?"

Xia Yu suddenly approached Xiao Ke and said with a suspicious expression: "I heard Sakura say that you have slept for thirty years, and you have not taken your duty of guarding the Kuro cards to heart at all, how can you be so sure that you are not interested in collecting the Kurot cards?" ”

"This ......"

Xiao Ke was speechless for a while, and seeing this, Sakura also took advantage of the victory to chase after him: "Xiao Ke, go and make sure, can't you feel the existence of the Kuluo card?" ”

"Then it can't be a Kuro card every time there is an abnormality......"

Xiao Ke retorted in a low voice, but feeling the gaze of three pairs of eyes, under the almost substantial gaze, Xiao Ke rubbed his head, and still smiled helplessly.

"No way, I'll go with you."

"Thank you, Xiao Ke!"

Sakura cheered and took Xiao Ke's hand, shaking it up and down happily.

Since it was decided that they were going to investigate, Sakura and the others decided to go in the middle of the night after discussing it, so that they would not disturb the store manager and would not be seen.

Time passes slowly.

In the middle of the night, night falls.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the city, covering the city with a light veil, and the night sky was full of stars, shining with a unique brilliance.

At this time, the town of Tomoeda had fallen into a deep sleep, and there was basically no activity outside, which was completely different from the life of the store that was not closed at night in later generations.

The toy store was closed at this time, and the black store seemed to be very quiet, but the sound of rustling seemed to indicate that the toy store was not peaceful.

Outside the toy store.

Sakura and the others stood at the door of the store, and at this time, Sakura had already changed into the battle uniform prepared by Chiyo, which was a blue clown suit.

However, the clown costume is not a clown costume in the ordinary sense, but a clown costume that has been redesigned by Zhishi, with blue as the main color and a white skirt, it looks very cute.

If you move it a little, the ball decorations on the hat and skirt of the clown suit will jump up and down, which is very lively and cute.

After making sure that there was no one around, Sakura nodded to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu casually gestured OK and pointed at the door lock with his wand.

"Alaho Cave Open!"

As the door lock lit up slightly, the originally closed toy store door opened automatically, and several people hurriedly pushed the door open and slipped into the toy store.

Xiao Ke also followed behind them, fluttering his little wings like a big fluttering moth and flew in.

The moment he came in, Xiao Ke frowned: "There is the breath of Kuluo cards!" ”

"Sure enough, it's a Kuro card!"

Sakura cheered, if it was the Kuro card, then she would be able to help the store manager's sister by sealing the Kuro card.

"Let's go find Chiharu's panda doll first, since the doll has run back again, maybe the Kuro card is hidden in the doll."

"Good!"

After deciding on the target, several people immediately searched the store, and the dolls in the store were neatly arranged, and it was not troublesome to find.

Soon, under Xiao Ke's perception, the panda doll hiding around was quickly discovered.

The moment it was discovered, the panda doll hurriedly rolled towards the corner, and Sakura was not to be outdone, jumping and hugging the doll.

However, Xiao Ke who flew over frowned, and hurriedly said, "It's suffered, it escaped!" ”

"It escaped?"

Sakura was a little puzzled, but Xiao Ke nodded and looked around: "Now this doll has no Kuro card breath on it, and that Kuro card may have escaped to other dolls!" ”

"How do you ...... like this?"

Sakura let out a little dejected, but soon, Sakura cheered up again, and was about to continue her search, when Tomoyo suddenly carried a pink rabbit doll and said in surprise.

"Why is this rabbit doll so heavy? It doesn't feel like the other dolls. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Sakura and Xiao Ke turned their heads to look at the same time, and after seeing the rabbit doll in Zhishi's hand clearly, Xiao Ke shouted in surprise: "That's it, it's a jump card!" ”

"Skip cards?"

Zhishi looked curiously, and at this moment, Jumping Card opened his pale green triangular eyes, and then his eyes squinted, and the nearby dolls immediately rioted.

The dolls affected by the jumping cards seemed to come to life, jumping up from the shelves, gathering and colliding in mid-air.

At this moment, the dolls, who were originally just dead things, seemed to be injected with infinite vitality, scurrying wildly with each other, making people dazzled and unable to help themselves.

In the next second, those dolls scurrying around continued to gather in the air, gradually forming a huge doll ball, and when all the dolls in the store gathered, the huge doll ball slammed towards Zhishi.

"Yikes!"

Although the doll balls are all composed of soft dolls, looking at such a large ball, Zhishi still couldn't help but exclaim and fell to the ground, and the jumping card in his hand also took this opportunity to kick the ground violently, out of Zhishi's control.

Seeing that the doll ball was about to hit Zhishi, Xia Yu dodged in front of Zhishi, and then raised his wand at the doll ball.

"Blast Rumble!"

With a bang, the huge doll ball suddenly exploded, but the exploded doll did not lose control, but turned into a torrent of dolls again.

Immediately after that, the pink jump card jumped and broke through the window to the street, and the torrent of dolls followed closely behind the electric flint.

In the blink of an eye, the jumping card had already disappeared into the darkness with the torrent of dolls, as if trying to escape.

"Chase!"

Xiao Ke hurriedly shouted, and Sakura hurriedly pushed open the door of the toy store and chased after the toy.

"Are you alright?"

Seeing that Sakura had already chased after the jumping card, Xia Yu did not rush to follow, but turned around and stretched out his hand to Zhishi, who was sitting on the ground.

"Well, it's fine."

Zhishi blushed a little and took Xia Yu's outstretched hand and brought herself up, she used to be confident and calm, but she didn't expect to show such a humiliating scene today.

The point is that it's still seen, it's really embarrassing.

Zhishi covered his face and took several deep breaths before suppressing the heart that had just been pounding from fright.

After recovering, Zhishi looked at Xia Yu and said, "Let's catch up quickly, Xia-san, we can't let Sakura fight alone!" ”

"Success, then hurry up."

Xia Yu casually told Zhishi, then directly reached out and hugged Zhishi in his arms, then spread his wings and flew straight towards the torrent of dolls in the distance.

Zhishi, who was suddenly held in her arms, was stunned, her already red face turned a little red, and after a few seconds, she obeyed Xia Yu's words and grabbed his clothes.

Afar.

Jumping cards carried the mighty torrent of dolls behind him, jumping and jumping towards the distance, like a long dragon composed of dolls, extremely conspicuous.

It's also a pity that there are no pedestrians at night, otherwise there might be some strange urban legends.

Behind the doll's torrent, Sakura is running on her two legs, trying to catch up with the powerful jumping card in front of her.

When Xia Yu caught up, he saw this scene, which also made him a little confused, this is obviously impossible to catch up, why not use flying cards?

However, in Xia Yu's gradually widening eyes, Sakura really relied on her two legs to gradually catch up with the toy torrent.

What kind of elementary school student is this? Even sprinters don't have such speed.

In the end, under Sakura's unscientific, but magical running speed, she actually caught up with the jump card with her legs.

However, just when Sakura found the right time and was ready to catch the pick, the jumping card seemed to have predicted Sakura's movements, and when Sakura pounced, the jumping card suddenly jumped up and dodged Sakura's flutter.

Then in the next second, the jump card fell on Sakura's head, and then the jump card used Sakura's head as a springboard, and suddenly jumped to a higher position with the help of force, almost all of which could be used as a low-altitude flight.

Sakura almost fell to the ground because of this, but fortunately she was agile and hurriedly supported the ground with her hands, so she didn't make a fool of herself.

"Skip cards? Where's the jumper? ”

After recovering, Sakura hurriedly looked around to find the missing jump card, but before she could find it, the surroundings suddenly fell into endless darkness.

"Shadow Blockade!"

With Xia Yu's voice sounding, the shadow card carried the boundless shadow and turned into a chain, and went straight to the jumping card.

Although the jump speed is extremely fast, it is still not faster than the speed of the shadow.

Under the siege of the shadow chains of the shadow cards, the jump cards were directly restrained in the air by the shadow layers, and then they were pulled down again, and then trapped on the ground.

After restricting the jump card, Xia Yu also fell down with Zhishi in his arms, and at this moment Zhishi had calmed down, and a camera appeared in his hand at some point.

As a director, carrying a camera at all times is a basic literacy.

"Classmate Xia, thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch it."

Sakura ran to Xia Yu's side in small steps and thanked him, Xia Yu nodded and replied, "Since you have restrained the jump card, let's quickly seal it." ”

"Good!"

Sakura nodded, took out her key necklace, placed it in the palm of her hand, and chanted slowly.

"The key to the dark is hidden! Show your true power in front of me, and Sakura, who has made a pact with you, orders you-"

"The seal is lifted!"

In an instant, the key-shaped necklace changed back to the shape of a wand, and Sakura was holding the wand in her hand, and when she was about to seal the jumping card, the jumping card suddenly lit up with a dazzling pink light.

Then in the next second, all kinds of dolls that were originally scattered on the ground, and there was no movement, but they trembled uncontrollably again, and then turned into a torrent of dolls again, and went straight to the bound jumping cards.

Under the impact of countless dolls, the shadows around were scattered, and the pink jumping card also took this opportunity to charge up and kick, and suddenly rushed away from the captivity of the shadow card.

After the jump cards were freed from the shackles, the torrent of dolls seemed to have found the backbone, and they all converged towards the jump cards.

In an instant, the countless dolls formed a huge pink rabbit, which was exactly what the jumping card appeared after breaking away from the seal.

At this moment, the jump card can no longer be called a jump card, and it is more appropriate to say that it is a big card.

"This ...... What's going on? Xiao Ke, isn't this a card jump? Why is it getting bigger? ”

Sakura was a little dumbfounded when she looked at the huge jumping card, it was so big, how could she find the real body of the jumping card and seal it?

Looking at the huge jump card, Xiao Ke was also a little confused: "I ...... I don't know it, I'm not familiar with the jump card, after all, not all Kuluo cards can speak, like this animal type of Kuluo card, I haven't known much. ”

Using the huge jumping cards of the doll, he looked at the three little people below, and suddenly raised his head and roared.

"Whoa......"

This scene made Xiao Ke even more surprised: "Is it roaring?" ”

After shouting, the jumping card suddenly raised its huge foot, ready to step on the three people below.

"Run!"

Sakura exclaimed, and was about to pull Xia Yu and Chiyo away, but she pulled hard, but she didn't pull Xia Yu.

"Classmate Xia, don't be in a daze, run!"

"Hehe, no."

Xia Yu smiled at Sakura, raised his head to look at the huge jump card, and said in an inexplicable tone: "Is it huge?" Speaking of which, I just have a magic opposite that I haven't tried yet. ”

After finishing speaking, Xia Yu aimed his wand at the jumping card: "Quickly shrink!" ”

In an instant, a light like white lightning suddenly appeared on the huge jumping card, and under the flow of that light, the huge jumping card quickly shrank.

In just a few seconds, the jumping card that was originally compared to the building has changed back to the size of an ordinary doll.

was originally showing off his might, but suddenly found that his field of vision was getting smaller and smaller, and it was not until the surrounding area was full of behemoths that his vision stopped changing.

Jumping looked up a little stupidly, and the three children who surrounded it were still so small in its eyes a few seconds ago.

Jumping didn't know what feng shui was called taking turns, but it knew it was going to be miserable next.

Bang ——!

Before Xia Yu could do anything, the jumping cards suddenly disintegrated from the beginning, and countless dolls splashed out, because they were under the shrinking spell, so these dolls still maintained a shrunken appearance, just like miniature dolls.

And in the center of these miniature dolls, a little pink rabbit is lying inside and pretending to be dead.

"Okay, let's seal it now."

Xiao Ke landed next to the jump card and pointed to the jump card that was smaller than himself.

"Hmm!"

Sakura nodded in response, the store manager's sister has suffered so many misunderstandings because of the jumping cards, so she must no longer let the jumping cards wander outside to make trouble.

Thinking of this, Sakura raised her wand in her hand.

"Restore your original appearance, Kuro!"

Ding——!

Under the sound of percussion, the magic array and the card phantom appeared one after another, and the pink rabbit that was shrunk by the shrinking spell was also swept by the milky white streamer and was brought into the illusory card.

After a few seconds, the illusory card turned into a real card, and the card spun twice in the air, and finally floated towards Xia Yu.

"Ahh

Watching the Kuluo card fly towards Xia Yu, Xiao Ke couldn't help but rub his head vigorously: "Obviously, the last time the water card was Sakura's, wait!" Could it be my fault? When you don't have me, the Kuro card is Sakura's, and when you have me, the Kuro card is that imp's! ”

Xiao Ke boxed his high-fives, and seemed to have thought of some rules, but before it could continue, Xiao Sakura couldn't help but defend Xia Yu and said: "Xiao Ke, it is obviously the credit of classmate Xia to be able to accept the Kuro card, so don't speculate here." ”

On the other side, Xia Yu looked at the jumping card floating into his hand, the main image of the jumping card is a milky white rabbit with wings, which is completely inconsistent with the image of the cunning pink rabbit just now, comparable to the photo and photo.

The Chinese character "Jump" is written on the top, and the English word "THE JUMP" is written below, and you can feel the magic contained in the cards.

It's a Kuro card that doesn't work for him after he's parsed it.

Shadow cards can still familiarize him with the power of familiar shadows, and even if he parses them, it will be useful for him, but like this kicker card, he can use its ability as long as he parses it, and he doesn't need to use the Kuro card again.

Just like flying cards, he can fly if he parses them, and the same is true for jumping cards.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu waved the jumping card in his hand and said to Sakura: "Sakura, the jumping card has little effect on me, I'll give it to you tomorrow." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Sakura looked at her in surprise, but she quickly reacted: "Since this is the case, then I will lend the water card, tree card and rain card to classmate Xia, and classmate Xia can pay it back whenever he wants." ”

"No, you don't."

Xia Yu shook his head and smiled: "It's too troublesome to lend me one by one like this, when Sakura you collect a full set of Kulo cards, and then lend me the Kulo cards that I don't have to watch." ”

"Well, I won't forget it!"

"Ahem......"

Just as Sakura finished speaking, Chiyo suddenly coughed lightly twice and pointed to the small dolls all over the ground.

"We have trouble next, these dolls have to be sent back to the store, but thanks to Mr. Xia, the shrunken dolls are not so difficult to take."

"Then you don't have to worry about it."

Xia Yu suddenly pointed his wand at the small dolls all over the ground, and said with a smug smile: "My magic is the most suitable for aftermath work!" ”

"Yuga Dim Leviosa!"

With the finger of Xia Yu's wand, the dolls all over the ground floated up, as if an invisible force held the dolls up.

"Alright, let's go!"

"Oh, classmate Xia is really so reliable."

"Hehe~ Every time we are accompanied by classmate Xia, we don't need to worry about the aftermath, if classmate Xia was there last time when the tree card and the rain card were sealed, we wouldn't need to work so hard to clean it."

Hearing this, Xiao Ke, who was still a little unconvinced by Xia Yu, immediately clenched his fists and said, "Roar!" Sakura, in the future, you must often invite Xia Boy to play at home, and you can also give him a direct watch of the Kuluo cards, I definitely don't mind! ”

“…… Xiao Ke, don't speak, your intentions are too obvious. ”

"Huh? Have it? ”
