  *************

  One day, sitting together in Futaba's home, Hayami came up with an idea, "Let's transform together into playing cards, girls?"

  The rest of the group looked at her with curiosity, wondering what exactly she meant. Futaba spoke up, "What do you mean by playing cards, Hayami?"

  Hayami grinned mischievously and picked up a deck of cards from the desk. "I mean like these! We could transform into a deck of cards and see what kind of games we could play."

  The group looked at each other, intrigued by the idea. "I'm up for it," Alice said with a smile. "It sounds like fun!"

  Fumi, always eager for a new transformation challenge, chimed in, "I'm in too! Let's do it!"

  The group gathered together, forming a circle, and held hands. They closed their eyes and focused their energy, using their unique abilities to transform their bodies into playing cards.

  Futaba looked at them, as their bodies shrank, their limbs and head merging into the card shape. Her friends flattened, and their bodies became rectangular, no more in size and thickness than a standard playing card. Each card had a unique design and color, reflecting the personality and powers of the girl who transformed into it.

  Kana became the 🂡 Ace of Spades, with a dark and ominous design that perfectly matched her magical abilities. Chiaki transformed into the 🂽 Queen of Hearts, with a regal and elegant design that reflected her own grace and charm. Haruka became the 🃎 King of Diamonds, with a bold and powerful design that symbolized her control over her magical force core.

  As for the rest of the group, Fumi transformed into the 🂪 Ten of Spades, with a versatile and adaptable design that reflected her nanomachines' transformative abilities. Hayami became the 🂷 Seven of Hearts, with a cute and bubbly design that captured her adventurous spirit. Ryoko transformed into the 🃅 Five of Diamonds, with a shy and reserved design that reflected her personality. And Alice became the 🃘 Eight of Clubs, with a beautiful and intricate design that reflected her status as the collective being of the former gymnastics club members.

  Futaba smiled and gathered them together. She took the deck and removed plain cards with the same names from it, replacing them with the cards that her friends had transformed into. "Let's try playing a game. Kuro, come here," she suggested, shuffling the deck.

  Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs, Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, Hayami 🂷 Seven of Hearts, Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds, Chiaki 🂽 Queen of Hearts, Haruka 🃎 King of Diamonds, and Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades felt, as Futaba shuffled them with the rest of the deck.

  Kuro jumped onto the table, watching with interest as Futaba dealt out the cards to each player. "So, what game should we play?" he asked.

  Futaba thought for a moment before suggesting, "How about a game of Go Fish? It's a classic card game that's easy to play for you and me. Pick up your cards, Kuro."

  Kuro nodded, picking up his cards with his paws. The group settled into the game, enjoying the novelty of playing as cards.

  Kuro got a 🃃 Three of Diamonds, 🂻 Jack of Hearts, Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, 🃝 Queen of Clubs, Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs, 🂸 Eight of Hearts, 🃇 Seven of Diamonds.

  While Futaba had 🂫 Jack of Spades, Chiaki 🂽 Queen of Hearts, 🂩 Nine of Spades, Haruka 🃎 King of Diamonds, 🂮 King of Spades, 🂣 Three of Spades, 🃚 Ten of Clubs. The rest of the cards remained in the pool.

  Futaba teased Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, "You are completely became a card?"

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades laughed, "Yes, I'm fully a card now."

  Kuro started the game, "Do you have a 🂪 Ten of Spades, Futaba?"

  Futaba took out Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, "Yes, I do! Here you go, Kuro." She handed him the card, and Kuro placed Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades in his pile.

  Kuro looked at his cards and asked, "Futaba, do you have a 🂽 Queen of Hearts?"

  Futaba smiled and replied, "Yes." She took Chiaki 🂽 Queen of Hearts and handed it to Kuro. "Here you go."

  The game continued, with the group laughing and joking as they played. They had never felt closer, bonded together as cards in this unique experience. As the game came to an end, they all agreed that it had been a fun and enjoyable way to spend their afternoon.

  Meanwhile, Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades was lying inside the pool, buried under the other cards. She giggled, "I'm happy to be buried under all of you. It feels like I'm in a cozy blanket of cards." The rest of the group laughed, agreeing that it was a unique and fun experience.

  Soon Futaba won the game, "Looks like I'm the winner!" Futaba exclaimed, holding up her winning cards. "But really, we all won by having this fun experience together."

  All of the transformed cards, Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs, Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, Hayami 🂷 Seven of Hearts, Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds, Chiaki 🂽 Queen of Hearts, Haruka 🃎 King of Diamonds, and Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades giggled, as Futaba shuffled them again with the rest of the deck, "Mind if I take you with me, my magical card deck?"

  The rest of the group nodded in agreement, happy to be a part of Futaba's magical deck. "Of course, we don't mind at all," Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs said with a smile.

  Futaba gathered the deck and placed it in her pocket, feeling a sense of closeness to her friends as she did. She knew that they would always be there with her, even as cards.

  And with that Futaba went to the kitchen, preparing some tea for herself and snacks for Kuro.

  The rest of the group were chatting excitedly in Futaba's pocket as her playing cards.

  Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds giggled, "Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, why you are looking so excitedly at 🂫 Jack of Spades?"

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades blushed, "Well, I was thinking that maybe we could try a different game next time. Something a bit more... risqué."

  The group looked at each other, curious about what Fumi had in mind. "What kind of game are you thinking of?" Hayami 🂷 Seven of Hearts asked.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades grinned mischievously, "How about a game of Strip Poker?" she suggested, causing the group to burst out in laughter.

  Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades joined in, "I like the sound of that. It sounds like fun."

  The group continued chatting excitedly about their next game, eagerly anticipating their next gathering. As for Futaba, she smiled to herself, feeling grateful for the unique group of friends that had come into her life.

  The next morning, Futaba got dressed for school and put the box with her precious cards into her school bag.

  Futaba made her way to school, her schoolbag securely slung over her shoulder, with the box of playing cards tucked safely inside. As she walked through the hallways, she could feel the weight of her friends' transformed card forms against her side, reminding her of the fun they had shared the day before.

  As she approached her classroom, she could hear the chatter of her classmates and the sound of chairs scraping against the floor. She took a deep breath and pushed open the door, ready to face the day ahead.

  "Good morning, everyone," she greeted her classmates with a smile.

  "Good morning, Futaba!" her classmates replied in unison, their voices ringing out cheerfully.

  Futaba took her seat and pulled out her schoolbooks, settling in for another day of classes.

  She opened her schoolbag and giggled, "You are here, my cards?"

  The deck of playing cards nestled safely inside her bag, and Futaba couldn't resist taking them out for a quick peek. She smiled as she saw the unique designs and colors of each card, reminding her of the special bond she shared with her friends. She took out Fumi 🂪 and blew on it gently, admiring the intricate details of the card.

  As she looked up, she saw that her classmates were staring at her, curious about what she was doing. Futaba quickly tucked the card back into the deck and cleared her throat. "Sorry, just checking my cards," she said with a nervous laugh.

  Meanwhile, Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades couldn't contain her excitement, feeling the energy and curiosity from Futaba's touch. "Hey, Futaba," she whispered, her voice ringing out inside the girl's mind.

  Futaba looked down at the card, surprised to hear Fumi's voice in her head. "Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, is that you? Can you hear me?" she asked, her voice low and cautious.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades giggled, "Of course, it's me! I can hear you loud and clear. It's just one of the many benefits of being a magical card."

  Futaba smiled, feeling a sense of wonder and excitement. "Wow, this is amazing. I can't believe I can communicate with you like this," she said, her voice filled with awe.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades chuckled, "I know, right? It's pretty cool. And there's so much more we can do together as a deck of cards. We're not just for playing games, you know."

  Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs chimed in, "You can cheat in the games, using us like this, Futaba."

  Futaba laughed, "No way, Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs! I would never cheat. That's not fair to everyone else. Plus, cheating takes away the fun of playing games."

  During the lunch break, Futaba decided to make a card house on her school desk. She took out her cards again, spreading them out on her desk and carefully arranging them into a pattern. She stacked some cards on top of others, building up the structure of the house.

  Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds, Chiaki 🂽 Queen of Hearts, and Haruka 🃎 King of Diamonds were at the base together with many other cards. In the middle, Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs and Hayami 🂷 Seven of Hearts formed the walls, while Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades and Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades were the roof.

  As Futaba worked on her card house, her classmates gathered around her desk, watching with interest. "Wow, that's amazing, Futaba! You're really talented," one of them exclaimed.

  Futaba blushed at the compliment, feeling a sense of pride in her creation. She continued to build the house, adding more cards to the structure and making it taller.

  As she worked, Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades whispered to the rest of the cards, "Hey, let's make this interesting. What if we all moved at once and made the house collapse?"

  The other cards giggled mischievously, liking the idea of causing a little chaos. They waited for the right moment, as Futaba was adding the finishing touches to the top of the house.

  Suddenly, all the cards shifted and moved, causing the house to sway and wobble. Futaba gasped, her eyes widening in shock as the structure collapsed in on itself, scattering cards across her desk.

  Her classmates burst out laughing at the sudden turn of events, and Futaba couldn't help but join in. She scooped up the scattered cards and looked at them with a smile, feeling a sense of camaraderie and joy.

  "Looks like we'll have to try again," she said, her voice filled with excitement. "But maybe we should make it a little sturdier next time."

  Soon the teacher came into the room. Futaba quickly gathered her cards, putting them back into their box and tucking them safely into her school bag. She turned her attention to the front of the room, focusing on the teacher's lecture and trying to absorb as much information as she could.

  As the class continued, Futaba found her thoughts drifting back to her magical card deck. She couldn't wait to spend more time with her friends, experimenting with the different ways they could use their transformed card forms.

  After what seemed like an eternity, the bell finally rang, signaling the end of the school day. Futaba gathered her things, including her precious card deck, and made her way out of the classroom.

  Suddenly Futaba heard a voice in her mind. It was Haruka 🃎 King of Diamonds, "I just thought, that if you visit a desk and board games club after school, you could play some more card games with us. What do you think?"

  Futaba smiled at Haruka's suggestion. "That's a great idea! I've never been to the desk and board games club before, but I've always wanted to check it out," she replied, her excitement growing at the prospect of spending even more time with her magical card deck.

  As she made her way to the club, she felt a sense of anticipation building inside her. She couldn't wait to see what kind of games they would play and how her card deck would fit into the mix.

  When she arrived at the club, she was greeted by a group of friendly and welcoming students. They showed her around the room, pointing out the different games and activities available to the members.

  Futaba pulled out her card deck and showed it to the other students. "Look at what I have!" she exclaimed, feeling proud of her magical creation.

  The other students were amazed by the unique designs and colors of the cards, and they eagerly asked Futaba if they could play a game using them.

  Futaba beamed with excitement, "Of course! Let's try playing the poker game."

  The other students agreed, and they gathered around a table, with Futaba shuffling the deck of cards. They began to play the game, the sound of cards shuffling and chips clinking filling the room.

  As the game went on, Futaba's friends, now transformed into the cards, whispered suggestions and strategies to her through their telepathic connection. She felt a sense of closeness and camaraderie with them, but replied to them telepathically, "I'm a fair player. Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, stop uncovering my opponents' cards for me!"

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades giggled, "Sorry, Futaba! It's just so tempting. But I'll try to resist next time."

  The group continued to play, laughing and chatting as they enjoyed the game. Futaba felt a sense of happiness and belonging, grateful for the opportunity to spend time with her magical card deck and her new friends in the club.

  As the game came to an end, Futaba's stack of chips had grown considerably, and she had a sense of satisfaction at having won. But more than that, she felt grateful for the experience and the new connections she had made.

  As she gathered up her card deck and made her way out of the club, she knew that she had discovered a new passion and a new group of friends that would be with her for a long time to come.

  Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds giggled inside the deck, "I can't believe we're played poker as cards! This is so much fun!"

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades joined in, "It's definitely a unique experience. And we're helping Futaba win too!" she added with a sly grin.

  Futaba smiled, feeling grateful for her friends' help. "Thanks, guys. I couldn't have done it without you," she said, her voice filled with appreciation.

  She friendly tapped on her lovely deck in her pocket with her hand, as she left the club.

  As Futaba made her way home, she couldn't stop thinking about the fun she had with her magical card deck. She felt a deep sense of connection to her friends, even though they were now transformed into cards.

  Late in the evening, she took her deck again and played solitaire.

  Futaba sat at her desk, shuffling the deck of playing cards as she set up her game of solitaire. She carefully arranged the cards in rows, trying to match them up in a specific order.

  As she played, she felt a sense of calm and relaxation wash over her. The sound of the cards shuffling and the gentle tapping of them against the desk helped to soothe her mind and ease her worries.

  She put Haruka 🃎 King of Diamonds first in the foundation pile, feeling a sense of comfort as she looked at the design of the King of Diamonds. She continued to play, moving the cards around and trying to uncover new ones.

  As she played, she heard a soft whisper in her mind. It was Chiaki 🂽 Queen of Hearts, "You're really good at this game, Futaba. You've got a talent for it."

  Futaba smiled, feeling a sense of warmth from her friend's words. "Thanks, Chiaki 🂽 Queen of Hearts. It's all thanks to you guys. You make this game so much more fun," she replied, her voice filled with gratitude.

  She put Chiaki 🂽 Queen of Hearts as the next card in the foundation pile, feeling a sense of satisfaction as she matched the cards up correctly.

  She pulled the next card from the deck and saw that it was Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades. She smiled, admiring the cute design of the Ace of Hearts. "You're up next, Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades," she said, placing the card on top of the foundation pile.

  Soon she pulled Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades and Futaba felt a jolt of excitement as she saw the versatile Ten of Spades. "Okay, Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, let's see what we can do with you," she said, moving the card to another pile.

  The next one was 🂫 Jack of Spades, Futaba picked up the next card from the deck and saw that it was the Jack of Clubs. She smiled, admiring the intricate design of the card. "Okay, let's see what we can do with you, 🂫 Jack of Spades," she said, placing the card on top of another pile.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades felt nervous and excited, as she noticed 🂫 Jack of Spades.

  "What's up, Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades?" Futaba asked, noticing her friend's reaction.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades blushed a bit, "Oh, it's nothing. I just have a bit of a crush on 🂫 Jack of Spades," she admitted, her voice filled with embarrassment.

  Futaba chuckled, feeling amused by her friend's confession. "Really? That's so cute, Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades. Maybe we can find a way to help you two get to know each other better," she suggested, her voice filled with mischief.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades blushed even more, feeling embarrassed but also excited at the prospect of getting closer to 🂫 Jack of Spades. "Th-thank you, Futaba. That would be amazing," she replied, her voice filled with anticipation.

  She put 🂫 Jack of Spades in one pile with Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades. "Now you two are close together," Futaba giggled.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades giggled along with Futaba, feeling grateful for her friend's support. "Thanks, Futaba. You always know how to make me feel better," she said, her voice filled with appreciation.

  As the game went on, Futaba continued to match up the cards, feeling a sense of satisfaction with each successful move. She could hear her friends whispering encouragement and advice in her mind, helping her to navigate the tricky layout of the game.

  She pulled the next card, and it was Alice 🃘, the Eight of Clubs.

  Futaba smiled as she looked at the card, admiring the elegant design of the Eight of Clubs. "Hello, Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs. You're up next," she said, placing the card on top of another pile.

  Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs whispered in her mind, "You're doing great, Futaba. Keep it up!"

  Futaba smiled, feeling grateful for her friends' support. She continued to play the game, matching up the cards and trying to clear the board.

  As the game went on, she felt a sense of calm and relaxation wash over her. The sound of the cards shuffling and the gentle tapping of them against the desk helped to soothe her mind and ease her worries.

  She looked at the remaining cards, seeing that she was getting close to finishing the game. She took a deep breath and made her next move, feeling a sense of excitement as she matched up another pair of cards.

  And finally, she managed to clear the board, winning the game. She let out a small cheer, feeling a sense of accomplishment and pride in her victory.

  "Great job, Futaba!" Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds exclaimed, her voice ringing out inside the girl's mind.

  Futaba smiled, feeling grateful for her friends' support and encouragement. "Thanks, everyone. I couldn't have done it without you," she said, her voice filled with appreciation.

  She put the cards back into their box and placed them carefully on her desk. She stretched her arms and let out a contented sigh, feeling happy and relaxed.

  Futaba knew that her magical card deck would always be there for her, bringing joy and excitement into her life whenever she needed it. She felt a deep sense of gratitude for her friends and the special bond they shared, both as humans and as magical cards.

  Meanwhile, inside the box, 🂫 Jack of Spades and Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades were placed near each other in the deck. Their hearts beat with excitement as they sensed each other's presence.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades took a deep breath and gathered her courage. "Um, hi 🂫 Jack of Spades. I'm Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades. We haven't really talked before, but I wanted to say that I think you're really cool," she said, her voice shaking slightly with nervousness.

  🂫 Jack of Spades smiled warmly at Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, feeling a sense of connection to the shy card. "Hey Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, it's nice to meet you too. I've seen you around the deck, but I never had the chance to talk to you either," he replied, his voice filled with kindness.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades blushed, feeling a surge of happiness at 🂫 Jack of Spades' words. "Th-thank you. You're really kind," she replied, her voice still tinged with shyness.

  🂫 Jack of Spades chuckled, feeling a sense of affection for the cute card. "So, what do you like to do for fun, Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades?" he asked, hoping to get to know her better.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades smiled, feeling grateful for the opportunity to chat with 🂫 Jack of Spades. "Well, I really love playing card games, of course."

  Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs, who was also nearby, chimed in telepathically, "Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades is really good at card games, too! She helped Futaba win a game of poker earlier today."

  🂫 Jack of Spades smiled, feeling impressed by Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades' skills. "Wow, that's amazing! I'm not that good at poker, but maybe you can teach me some tips and tricks sometime?" he suggested, his voice filled with enthusiasm.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades felt a surge of excitement at the prospect of spending more time with 🂫 Jack of Spades. "I'd love to! We could play some games together and have fun," she replied, her voice filled with anticipation.

  As the rest of the cards watched, 🂫 Jack of Spades and Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades continued to talk, getting to know each other better and enjoying each other's company.

  Futaba heard their whisper from the deck and smiled, sipping her tea. She felt a sense of happiness at the thought of her friends getting along and forming new connections. It was amazing to see how her magical card deck had brought everyone together, creating a sense of camaraderie and friendship.

  As she sipped her tea, Futaba felt a sense of contentment wash over her. She knew that she had found something special in her deck of magical cards, something that she would treasure for a long time to come. And she was grateful for the chance to share it with her friends and make new memories together.

  She put on her pajama and tucked her card deck safely into her bedside table, feeling a sense of comfort knowing that her friends were close by, even as she slept. As she drifted off into a peaceful slumber, she couldn't wait to see what new adventures her magical card deck would bring her next.

  Meanwhile, when Futaba was sleeping, inside the deck Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades came out with the curious idea, "We are magical cards, after all. Let's play themselves on the desk!"

  The other cards looked at Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades in confusion. "What do you mean, play ourselves on the desk?" Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds asked.

  Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades smiled mischievously. "I mean, we can move and arrange ourselves without players. We can play around and have some fun!" she explained.

  Hayami 🂷 Seven of Hearts giggled, "Let's play Pyramid solitaire together!"

  Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs chimed in, "I have an idea! Let's create a card tower and see how high we can make it without it toppling over."

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades added, "And we can take turns being the base card and building on top of each other. It'll be like a game of Jenga!"

  The other cards agreed, excited at the prospect of playing around on the desk. They began to move and arrange themselves, creating a foundation for the tower.

  Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds was placed at the bottom, with Chiaki 🂽 Queen of Hearts and Haruka 🃎 King of Diamonds supporting her from the sides. Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs and Hayami 🂷 Seven of Hearts formed the first level, with Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades and Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades building on top of them.

  As they played, they heard a soft rustling sound. Futaba had rolled over in her sleep and her deck of cards had fallen off her nightstand and onto the floor.

  The cards looked at each other in surprise. "What was that?" Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds asked, feeling a sense of confusion.

  Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs giggled, "I think, we are fallen onto the floor. Maybe she's dreaming about us!"

  The other cards giggled along with Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs, feeling amused by the idea. They continued to play, moving and rearranging themselves into different shapes and patterns.

  As the night went on, Futaba continued to sleep soundly, unaware of the magical game her cards were playing. The tower of cards grew taller and taller, each card carefully balanced on top of the other.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, who was at the very top of the tower, felt a sense of exhilaration as she looked down at the other cards below her. "This is so much fun!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement.

  But just as she spoke, the tower began to wobble, the cards swaying precariously from side to side. Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades felt a surge of panic as she realized that they were about to fall.

  "Quick, everyone, brace yourselves!" she called out, hoping that they could hold on long enough to prevent the tower from collapsing.

  The other cards moved quickly, each one shifting their weight and adjusting their position to try and stabilize the tower. But it was too late. With a loud crash, the cards tumbled to the ground, scattering across the floor.

  Futaba stirred in her sleep, feeling a sense of confusion and disorientation. She opened her eyes and looked around, wondering what had caused the commotion.

  As she sat up in bed, she noticed her deck of cards lying on the floor, scattered haphazardly around her room. She picked them up, feeling a sense of concern and worry for her precious deck.

  But as she examined them more closely, she noticed something strange. The cards had been arranged in a pattern, forming a tower-like structure that seemed to defy the laws of physics.

  Futaba felt a sense of awe and wonder at the sight, realizing that her magical card deck was capable of more than she had ever imagined. She smiled, feeling grateful for the unique and special bond she shared with her cards.

  She carefully placed the cards back in their box and tucked them safely into her nightstand, feeling a sense of contentment as she drifted off to sleep. She knew that she had found something special in her deck of magical cards, something that she would treasure for a long time to come.

  When Futaba went to sleep again, 🃏 Joker giggled, "Looks like we gave Futaba a bit of a scare," he said, his voice filled with mischief.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades rolled her eyes, "🃏 Joker, don't be mean. We don't want to scare her or make her worried."

  🃏 Joker chuckled, feeling slightly embarrassed by Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades’ scolding. "Sorry, sorry. I was just joking," he replied, his voice filled with contrition.

  "You are Joker after all," smiled Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades, feeling amused by 🃏 Joker's antics. "But let's try to be more careful next time, okay?"

  🃏 Joker nodded in agreement, feeling grateful for his friend's forgiveness. "Definitely. I promise to be more responsible from now on," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.

  As the night wore on, the cards continued to play, creating new games and activities for themselves to enjoy. They moved and shuffled themselves, forming intricate patterns and designs on the desk.

  Despite their lack of physical bodies, they felt a sense of closeness and connection to each other, their telepathic communication allowing them to communicate and bond in ways that were impossible for other objects.

  As the first rays of morning light began to filter into the room, the cards felt a sense of satisfaction and contentment. They had played and explored together, creating new memories and deepening their friendships.

  And as Futaba woke up and picked up her deck of cards, she felt a sense of warmth and happiness. She knew that her magical card deck was much more than just a simple toy or game. It was a source of friendship, creativity, and joy, and she felt grateful to have it in her life.

  After breakfast, she took her deck and decided to do some fortune-telling with them.

  Futaba spread her magical card deck out in front of her, feeling a sense of excitement as she prepared to do some fortune-telling. She shuffled the deck and asked the cards, "What will my day be like?"

  She drew the first card from the deck and saw that it was Ryoko 🃅, the Five of Diamonds.

  Futaba smiled, feeling happy to see Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds as the first card. She knew that Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds was a hardworking and dependable card, and she felt confident that her day would be off to a good start.

  She drew the next card, and it was Chiaki 🂽, the Queen of Hearts. Futaba felt a surge of happiness as she saw Chiaki 🂽, the Queen of Hearts. She knew that Chiaki 🂽 Queen of Hearts was a card of love and compassion, and she felt that this card was telling her to focus on the people she loved and the things that brought her joy.

  As she drew the next card, she saw that it was Alice 🃘, the Eight of Clubs. Futaba smiled, feeling grateful to see Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs as the next card. She knew that Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs was a card of intelligence and strategy, and she felt that this card was telling her to use her mind and creativity to solve any challenges that may come her way throughout the day.

  She drew the next card, and it was Kana 🂡, the Ace of Spades. Futaba felt a sense of excitement as she saw Kana 🂡, the Ace of Spades. She knew that Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades was a card of potential and new beginnings, and she felt that this card was telling her that today was a day for new opportunities and possibilities.

  The final card she drew was 🃏, the Joker.

  Futaba's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she saw the Joker card. She knew that this card could have many different meanings, and she wondered what it was trying to tell her.

  She closed her eyes for a moment, focusing her mind on the energy of the card. Suddenly, she heard a whisper in her mind. It was the Joker 🃏, "Today will be a day of surprises and unexpected twists and turns. Be ready to embrace change and stay flexible," he said, his voice filled with excitement.

  Futaba smiled, feeling a sense of anticipation for the day ahead. She knew that the Joker 🃏 was a card of adventure and excitement, and she felt that this card was telling her to be open to new experiences and to embrace the unexpected.

  She gathered up her deck of cards and placed them back in their box, feeling grateful for the guidance and inspiration they had provided her. She knew that she would carry the energy and wisdom of the cards with her throughout the day, and she felt excited to see what surprises and adventures the universe had in store for her.

  Inside their box, Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades was beside 🂫 Jack of Spades again.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades felt a flutter in her heart as she noticed that she was placed next to 🂫 Jack of Spades once again. She took a deep breath and turned to face him.

  "Hey 🂫 Jack of Spades, how are you doing today?" she asked, trying to sound casual.

  🂫 Jack of Spades smiled warmly at Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, feeling a sense of happiness at seeing her again. "Hey Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, I'm doing pretty well, thanks. How about you?" he replied, his voice filled with kindness.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades blushed a bit, feeling a surge of happiness at 🂫 Jack of Spades' friendly response. "I'm doing good too, thanks. I had a lot of fun playing solitaire with Futaba last night," she replied, hoping to start a conversation.

  🂫 Jack of Spades nodded, feeling happy to hear that Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades had enjoyed herself. "That sounds like fun. Did you win any games?" he asked, hoping to keep the conversation going.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades smiled, feeling grateful for 🂫 Jack of Spades' interest. "Actually, we played together and helped each other out. It was really nice," she replied, her voice filled with warmth.

  🂫 Jack of Spades smiled, feeling a sense of admiration for Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades' kindness and generosity. "That sounds like a great way to play. Maybe we can try it sometime," he suggested, hoping to spend more time with her.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades felt a surge of excitement at the prospect of playing with 🂫 Jack of Spades again. "I'd love that, 🂫 Jack of Spades. Maybe we can try some other games too?" she suggested, hoping to share her love of card games with him.

  🂫 Jack of Spades nodded, feeling a sense of happiness at Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades' enthusiasm. "Sure, I'm open to trying anything. Maybe we can ask the other cards to join us too," he replied, his voice filled with anticipation.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades smiled, feeling grateful for 🂫 Jack of Spades' kindness and openness. She couldn't wait to spend more time with him and the rest of her magical card friends, playing and having fun together.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades felt his flat and smooth surface against her own flat surface and felt a sense of warmth spread through her. She had never felt this way before, but she couldn't deny the attraction she felt towards 🂫 Jack of Spades.

  As Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades pondered her feelings for 🂫 Jack of Spades, the other cards in the deck noticed her blush and the way she seemed to linger near him.

  Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades smiled, "Looks like Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades has a crush on 🂫 Jack of Spades. How cute!"

  Hayami 🂷 Seven of Hearts giggled, "It's not surprising. 🂫 Jack of Spades is a really handsome card."

  Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds chimed in, "I think they would make a great pair. We should help them get closer together!"

  Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs added, "Maybe we could come up with a game that would bring them closer. Like a game of truth or dare?"

  The other cards agreed, excited by the idea of bringing 🂫 Jack of Spades and Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades closer together. They began to plan and scheme, thinking of different games and activities that would help them connect.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades continued to feel a sense of warmth and longing towards 🂫 Jack of Spades, and she wondered if he felt the same way. She decided to take a chance and ask him out on a date.

  "Hey 🂫 Jack of Spades, I was wondering if maybe we could hang out sometime? Maybe we could play some games together or something," she said, her voice tinged with shyness.

  🂫 Jack of Spades smiled warmly at Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, feeling a sense of excitement at the prospect of spending more time with her. "Sure, that sounds great! Let's wait until Futaba is out of home and play the Pyramid solitaire again. With two of us on top."

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades felt a surge of happiness at 🂫 Jack of Spades' response. "That sounds perfect! I can't wait," she replied, feeling her heart flutter with anticipation.

  As they talked and planned their date, the other cards in the deck watched with excitement, happy to see their plan coming to fruition.

  Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction at their successful matchmaking. "Looks like our plan worked perfectly. 🂫 Jack of Spades and Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades are going to be so happy together," she said, her voice filled with joy.

  The other cards nodded in agreement, feeling grateful for their friendship and the magic of their deck. They knew that together, they could make anything happen, and they were excited to see what adventures lay ahead for them all.

  After noon Futaba left the home for some shopping, leaving her magical cards on the desk. As soon as Futaba left, the cards in the deck began to stir with excitement.

  🂫 Jack of Spades smiled, "It is time for our date, Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades," he said, feeling a sense of anticipation.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades felt her heart race with excitement as she heard 🂫 Jack of Spades' words. "Yes, let's play some games together," she replied, feeling a surge of happiness at the thought of spending time alone with 🂫 Jack of Spades.

  The other cards watched in anticipation as 🂫 Jack of Spades and Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades moved towards each other, their surfaces brushing together. They began to play, starting with a game of Pyramid solitaire.

  They were at the top of the pyramid, and the other cards were supporting them from below. The game was intense, with both of them focused on the other cards and trying to win.

  As they played, 🃏 Joker couldn't help but feel a sense of mischief. "Hey guys, how about we spice things up a bit?" he suggested.

  Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades smiled mischievously, "What do you have in mind, 🃏 Joker?"

  🃏 Joker grinned, "How about we switch the cards around and make it more challenging? We could each take turns swapping out one of our cards with someone else's."

  The other cards agreed, excited by the prospect of a new challenge. They began to switch their positions, swapping out cards and rearranging themselves in new and interesting ways.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades felt a sense of exhilaration as they played, feeling more and more connected to 🂫 Jack of Spades with each passing moment. As they continued to play, she couldn't help but feel like they were destined to be together.

  Finally, after many rounds of the game, 🂫 Jack of Spades and Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades emerged victorious. They high-fived each other, feeling a sense of accomplishment and joy.

  As Futaba returned home, she smiled at the sight of her magical card deck, arranged in new and interesting ways. She could sense the happiness and excitement that her cards had brought to each other, and she felt grateful for the unique bond that they shared.

  As she picked up her deck and shuffled the cards, she couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment and happiness. She knew that she had found something special in her magical cards, and she was grateful for the chance to share it with her friends and make new memories together.

  Futaba smiled at her cards and decided to lay out a spread to see what the future held for her. She shuffled the deck and laid out a Celtic Cross spread on the desk, placing the cards in the following positions:

  The Present: Joker 🃏

  The Challenge: 🂩 Nine of Spades

  The Past: 🂫 Jack of Spades

  The Future: Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs

  Above: Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds

  Below: Chiaki 🂽 Queen of Hearts

  Advice: 🃔 Four of Clubs

  External Influences: Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades

  Hopes and Fears: 🃂 Two of Diamonds

  Outcome: Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades

  Futaba took a deep breath and began to interpret the cards. She saw the Joker in the first position as a reminder to keep a sense of humor and playfulness in her life, even when things get tough. She was ready to expect the unexpected and be prepared to adapt to new circumstances.

  The Nine of Spades signifies struggle, stress, and potential setbacks. The challenge here is to overcome these obstacles and maintain resilience in the face of adversity in the near future.

  The Jack of Spades can represent a person who is resourceful and intelligent, but may also have a cunning or manipulative side. In the past, Futaba may have encountered someone like this or may have used her intellect and resourcefulness to navigate a difficult situation.

  The Eight of Clubs could represent curiosity, adventure, and exploration. The Eight of Clubs signifies growth and progress. In the future, Futaba may embark on a journey of personal growth, fueled by her curiosity and a desire to learn and explore.

  The Five of Diamonds may symbolize a supportive and optimistic person or energy. The Five of Diamonds can represent financial or material challenges. In this position, it suggests that Futaba may receive help or guidance from a positive influence during a time of difficulty.

  The Four of Clubs signifies stability and structure. The advice here is to build a solid foundation and create a sense of order in Futaba’s life to navigate the challenges ahead more effectively.

  The Ten of Spades may symbolize someone who is diligent, hardworking, and persevering. The Ten of Spades can represent endings, transformation, or rebirth. External forces may push Futaba to let go of something in her life, leading to a transformative experience.

  The Two of Diamonds signifies balance, partnership, and harmony in financial or material matters. Her hopes may be focused on achieving stability and security, while her fears may center around financial struggles or imbalances.

  Finally, the Ace of Spades may represent someone who is strong-willed, assertive, and driven. The Ace of Spades signifies new beginnings, breakthroughs, or a fresh start. The outcome suggests that with determination and focus, Futaba can overcome challenges and embark on a new phase in her life.

  Futaba felt a sense of clarity and insight as she interpreted the cards. She felt that they had given her some valuable guidance and direction for the future, and she felt grateful for the wisdom of her magical card deck.

  Then she took 🂫 Jack of Spades and Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades. She smiled, "You two are lovers now?"

  The two cards blushed and looked at each other, feeling slightly embarrassed but also happy at Futaba's words.

  🂫 Jack of Spades spoke up in the girl's mind telepathically, "Well, we're still getting to know each other, but we do like spending time together," he said, his voice filled with warmth.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades added, also telepathically, "Yes, we really enjoy playing games together and just talking. It's been really fun getting to know 🂫 Jack of Spades better," she said, feeling a sense of contentment.

  Futaba smiled, feeling happy for her magical cards. She knew that they were more than just cards to her, but actual living beings with their own personalities and relationships.

  "Sounds like you two are really hitting it off. I'm glad that you're both enjoying each other's company," she said, feeling a sense of contentment. "And who knows, maybe someday you'll be able to leave the deck and explore the world together," she added, feeling a sense of excitement at the prospect.

  🂫 Jack of Spades and Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades looked at each other, feeling a sense of anticipation and excitement at the thought of exploring the world together. They knew that it was a long way off, but they couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of what the future might hold.

  She shuffled her cards again, thinking about what game she could play with her magical cards next. As she shuffled, she felt a sense of excitement and anticipation, wondering what kind of game they would come up with.

  After shuffling for a few moments, Futaba laid out the cards in a circle on the desk. Each card was facing inward, towards the center of the circle. She then looked at the cards and smiled, feeling inspired by the unique arrangement.

  "Let's play a game of circle solitaire!" she exclaimed, feeling a sense of excitement at the thought of trying out this new game.

  The other cards looked at her in confusion. "What's circle solitaire?" asked Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades.

  Futaba explained, "It's 'the Clock', a solitaire game where we arrange the cards in a circle and build up the piles in clockwise order, starting with the Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades and ending with the Haruka 🃎 King of Diamonds. Each pile has to be built in the same suit and in ascending order, and we can only move one card at a time."

  The cards nodded in understanding, feeling excited to try out this new game. They arranged themselves in a circle, with Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades in the 1 o'clock position, Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs in the 8 o'clock position, and so on, with the Haruka 🃎 King of Diamonds in the center.

  As they played, the cards moved around the circle, building up the piles and working together to complete the game. It was a challenging game, but they were all determined to succeed.

  Eventually, they managed to complete the game, with the last card being placed on the Haruka 🃎 King of Diamonds in the center. The cards cheered and high-fived each other, feeling a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

  Futaba smiled, feeling grateful for her magical card deck and the fun games they could play together. She knew that her deck was not just a tool for divination, but also a source of joy and friendship.

  It was late evening, and Futaba decided to relax and prepare dinner. She opened the box and smiled, "Get in, my cards!"

  The cards eagerly hopped back into the box, feeling tired but happy after their long day of playing and hanging out together.

  Futaba smiled at the cards, feeling grateful for their company and their magic. She knew that her life would be so much duller without them, and she was glad that she had stumbled upon the magical deck of cards.

  As she prepared dinner, Futaba felt a sense of contentment wash over her. She knew that she had found something special in her deck of magical cards, something that she would treasure for a long time to come. And she was grateful for the chance to share it with her friends and make new memories together.

  As she sat down to eat dinner with her cards nearby, Futaba felt a sense of warmth and happiness in her heart. She knew that no matter what the future held, she had her magical cards by her side, ready to bring her joy and adventure at every turn.

  Soon she gets dressed into her pajama and curls up in bed with a good book, feeling content and happy. As she read, she glanced over at her magical cards on the nightstand and felt a sense of gratitude for the special bond she had formed with them.

  As she drifted off to sleep, she felt a sense of warmth and comfort, knowing that her magical cards were always there to support and guide her. And she knew that no matter what challenges or adventures the future held, she would always have her deck of magical cards by her side.

  In the middle of the night, when she slept, her cards giggled again inside their box, excitedly whispering to each other about their latest adventures and games. Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades suggested, "Why don't we try a game of memory matching?"

  The other cards agreed, feeling excited about the prospect of a new game. They began to shuffle themselves around the desk, with each card trying to find its matching pair.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades and 🃏 Joker found their matching pairs quickly, but some of the other cards had a harder time. Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds finally found her pair, the 🃕 Five of Clubs, and cheered in excitement.

  Alice 🃘 Eight of Clubs and Chiaki 🂽 Queen of Hearts were having a bit of trouble, but with some help from the other cards, they managed to find their matching pairs as well.

  Hayami 🂷 Seven of Hearts and Haruka 🃎 King of Diamonds were the last to find their pairs, but they persisted, determined to win the game.

  After a while, they finally found their matching pairs and celebrated their victory. The cards were filled with a sense of camaraderie and friendship, having fun together and creating new memories.

  As the night went on, the cards eventually settled down, feeling exhausted but happy from their games and adventures. They knew that they had formed a special bond with each other, one that would last for a long time to come. And they were grateful for Futaba, who had brought them all together and given them a chance to experience the joy of playing and having fun together.

  They slowly returned to their original positions in the deck, feeling satisfied and happy with the fun they had just had. As they settled back into place, they could hear Futaba stirring in her sleep, and they knew it was time to quiet down and let her rest.

  The cards all went still, their surfaces flat against each other, as they waited for Futaba to wake up and start a new day of adventures and games. They felt a sense of anticipation and excitement, wondering what kind of fun they would have next.

  As they waited, they could hear the soft sound of Futaba's breathing, and they felt a sense of contentment and peace. They knew that they were a special part of her life, and they felt grateful for the chance to be her magical cards and share in her experiences.

  In the middle of the deck, 🂫 Jack of Spades and Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades were together again.

  They smiled at each other, feeling a sense of warmth and comfort in each other's company.

  🂫 Jack of Spades rubbed its surface against Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades quietly moaned in response, "Oh, 🂫 Jack of Spades, you always make me feel so good," she whispered back, feeling a sense of intimacy and connection with him.

  They continued to rub against each other, feeling a sense of closeness and comfort as they lay together in the deck. The other cards around them remained still, sensing the intimate moment between 🂫 Jack of Spades and Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades and giving them privacy.

  As they lay together, 🂫 Jack of Spades whispered in Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades' mind, "I'm so glad we found each other. I feel like we were meant to be together, just like the cards in a deck."

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades smiled, feeling a sense of happiness and fulfillment in her heart. "I feel the same way, 🂫 Jack of Spades. I'm so glad we have each other," she replied, feeling a sense of warmth and love in her heart.

  The other cards could sense the love and connection between 🂫 Jack of Spades and Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades, and they felt happy for them. They knew that love and companionship were important, even for magical cards like themselves.

  As they all lay together in the deck, they felt a sense of contentment and peace, knowing that they were all a part of something special. They knew that they would continue to have adventures and play games together, but they also knew that they had each other for comfort and support.

  The cards continued to lay in the deck, waiting for Futaba to wake up and start a new day. They felt a sense of excitement and anticipation, wondering what kind of games and adventures they would have next. But for now, they were content to rest and be together, in their own magical world within the deck.

  Early in the morning Futaba woke up, stirred, and greeted her cards warmly, "Good morning, my magical cards!" Futaba greeted her cards with a smile, feeling happy to start a new day with them.

  The cards stirred in excitement, feeling a sense of joy and anticipation at the thought of playing new games and going on new adventures with Futaba.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades and 🂫 Jack of Spades were still close to each other, and Futaba couldn't help but notice their proximity. She smiled, feeling happy for the two of them.

  "Looks like you two are getting along well," she said, feeling a sense of warmth and happiness.

  🂫 Jack of Spades and Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades blushed, feeling slightly embarrassed but also happy at Futaba's words.

  Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades spoke up, "So, what game do you want to play today, Futaba?" she asked, feeling excited at the prospect of playing another game with her magical cards.

  Futaba smiled, "I need to prepare breakfast and get dressed for school."

  The cards nodded, understanding that Futaba had other things to do before they could play. They settled back into the deck, feeling content to wait for Futaba to be ready to play with them.

  As Futaba got ready for her day, the cards whispered to each other, excitedly discussing what games they could play later on. They were always eager to try new games and explore new adventures with Futaba, and they couldn't wait to see what the day had in store for them.

  Futaba finished getting ready, packed her bag for school, and picked up her deck of magical cards, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation. As she left her house, she knew that she was never alone with her magical cards by her side.

  During the lunch break, Futaba sat with her friend Ayumi, who noticed her playing with a deck of cards.

  "Hey, Futaba, what are you playing?" Ayumi asked, intrigued by the magical cards.

  Futaba smiled, "These are my magical cards. They're special cards that can move and play games with me," she explained, feeling a sense of excitement as she showed Ayumi some of the games she had played with her cards.

  Ayumi was amazed by the cards and couldn't believe that they could move and play games. She watched as Futaba played a game of circle solitaire, marveling at the way the cards moved around the circle and worked together to complete the game.

  "That's so cool! I wish I had magical cards like that," Ayumi exclaimed, feeling a sense of envy and admiration.

  Futaba smiled, "Do you want to play a game with me and my magical cards?"

  Ayumi eagerly agreed, "Let's play in the game of Snap! It's a game where we take turns laying down cards and whoever lays down a card that matches the previous card played wins the pile. The winner is the one who collects all the cards." Futaba explained, feeling excited to share her love of games with her friend.

  As they played, Ayumi was amazed by the way the cards moved and reacted, feeling a sense of wonder and excitement at the unique experience of playing with magical cards.

  After the game, Ayumi thanked Futaba for introducing her to the magical cards and expressed her admiration for Futaba's creativity and imagination.

  Futaba smiled, feeling grateful for her magical cards and the experiences they had shared together. She knew that they were a special part of her life, and she felt lucky to have them as her companions and friends.

  After classes, Futaba returned home, feeling tired but happy after a day spent with her magical cards and her friends. She was looking forward to spending some more time with her cards and seeing what kind of adventures they would have next.

  As soon as she arrived home, she took out her deck of magical cards and smiled at them. "What game should we play today?" she asked, feeling excited and curious.

  The cards whispered amongst themselves, trying to come up with a new and exciting game to play with Futaba. After a few moments, they finally came to a consensus.

  "We have a game in mind, Futaba," said Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades, feeling excited to introduce the game to her.

  Futaba smiled, feeling intrigued. "What kind of game is it?" she asked, curious to hear more.

  "It's a game called 'Card Tower,'" Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades explained. "We'll take turns placing cards on top of each other, and we have to make sure the tower doesn't collapse. The person who places the final card without the tower falling wins the game."

  Futaba nodded, feeling excited about the new game. "Let's try it out!" she exclaimed, feeling a sense of anticipation and excitement.

  They began to play, each taking turns placing cards on top of each other. The tower grew taller and taller, and Futaba could feel her heart racing as she placed her card on top of the growing tower.

  As they played, the tower began to wobble, and Futaba could feel her hands shaking with excitement and anticipation. She held her breath as Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades placed the final card on top of the tower, feeling a sense of relief and joy as the tower held steady and the game ended.

  Kana 🂡 Ace of Spades was declared the winner, and Futaba congratulated her with a smile. "That was a great game," she said, feeling a sense of satisfaction and happiness. "What game should we play next?"

  Futaba smiled, "I want to play Klondike!"

  The cards cheered, feeling excited at the thought of playing one of their favorite games. They quickly arranged themselves into the tableau, with the cards in the seven piles facing down and the rest of the deck facing up.

  Futaba began to play, moving the cards around the tableau and trying to build up the foundation piles in ascending order, with each foundation pile starting with an Ace and ending with a King.

  As she played, the other cards watched in anticipation, cheering her on and hoping that she would succeed. The game was challenging, but Futaba was determined to win.

  After several intense minutes of gameplay, Futaba managed to complete the game, with all of the foundation piles built up in ascending order. The cards cheered in excitement, feeling proud of Futaba and her amazing skills.

  "Great job, Futaba! You're the best player ever!" exclaimed Ryoko 🃅 Five of Diamonds, feeling a sense of admiration and respect for her friend.

  Futaba smiled, feeling happy and content after a day spent with her magical cards. She knew that they would always be there for her, ready to play and have fun whenever she needed them.

  Futaba took the deck and started to lay out cards for fortune-telling.

  Futaba shuffled her deck of magical cards and then began to lay them out for a reading. She decided to do a three-card spread, where each card would represent the past, present, and future.

  She drew the first card and saw that it was 🂩 Nine of Spades, which represented the past. Futaba felt a sense of sadness as she looked at the card, knowing that it could signify loss or hardship in her past.

  The second card she drew was 🃔 Four of Clubs, which represented the present. Futaba smiled, feeling happy to see this card as it represented stability and progress in her life.

  The cards on the deck felt excited at the prospect of playing with each other while Futaba prepared dinner. They began to shuffle and move around the deck, ready to start a new game or activity.

  As they played, they chatted and giggled, sharing stories and experiences with each other. They felt a sense of camaraderie and friendship, knowing that they were all in this together.

  Fumi 🂪 Ten of Spades and 🂫 Jack of Spades were still close to each other, feeling a sense of intimacy and connection. They whispered to each other, sharing their hopes and dreams, and feeling grateful for each other's company.

  The other cards gathered together to build up a card house, stacking and balancing the cards carefully to create a tall and impressive structure. They worked together, supporting each other and celebrating each new level they managed to reach.

  As they played and chatted, Futaba prepared dinner in the kitchen, feeling happy and content knowing that her magical cards were having fun and enjoying each other's company.

  Eventually, dinner was ready, and Futaba called out to her magical cards, "Dinner's ready, everyone!"

  The cards on the deck quickly gathered themselves back into the box, feeling excited at the thought of sharing a meal with Futaba. They settled in their places, ready to continue their adventures and games with their beloved owner.

  Before she went to sleep, Futaba asked them, "Do you want something I should buy for you all? Accessories, tools, something other?"

  The cards looked at each other, feeling grateful for Futaba's kindness and generosity.

  🃅 Five of Diamonds spoke up, "It would be nice to have a new deck box. Our current one is getting a bit worn out, and it's not as sturdy as it used to be."

  The other cards nodded in agreement, feeling that a new deck box would be a great addition to their collection.

  Futaba smiled, "Sure, I can buy a new deck box for you all. Is there anything else you need or want?"

  The cards thought for a moment, but they couldn't think of anything else they needed or wanted. They felt content and happy, knowing that they had Futaba and each other.

  🂫 Jack of Spades spoke up, "Thank you, Futaba, for taking care of us and playing with us. We appreciate everything you do for us."

  The other cards nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of gratitude and love for their owner.

  Futaba smiled, feeling happy and fulfilled. "You're welcome, my magical cards. I love you all," she said, feeling a sense of warmth and connection with her cards.

  As she drifted off to sleep, the cards settled down in their deck, feeling content and happy. They knew that no matter what adventures or challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, as a team.

  The next morning, Futaba took her beloved magical cards to the store, looking for a new deck box. She searched through the shelves, trying to find a box that was sturdy and could protect her cards from damage.

  After a few minutes of searching, she finally found the perfect deck box. It was made of durable material and had a secure closure to keep her cards safe.

  Futaba smiled, feeling excited to bring her new deck box home and show it to her magical cards. She paid for the box and quickly made her way back home, eager to see the reaction of her cards.

  As she arrived home, she took out the new deck box and showed it to her cards. They looked at it in amazement, impressed by its sturdy design and secure closure.

  🂡 Ace of Spades spoke up, "This is perfect, Futaba! Thank you so much for getting us a new deck box. Our cards will be safe and protected now."

  🂪 Ten of Spades and 🂫 Jack of Spades moved closer to each other, feeling a sense of gratitude and happiness. They whispered to each other, feeling grateful for Futaba's kindness and generosity towards them.

  After noon she asked her cards again, "If you are magical cards, let's do some magical stuff too?"

  The cards looked at each other, feeling excited at the prospect of doing some magical stuff with Futaba.

  🃘 Eight of Clubs spoke up, "I have an idea. Why don't we try to levitate something using our magic?"

  The other cards nodded in agreement, feeling excited to try out this new and exciting idea.

  Futaba smiled, feeling a sense of excitement and curiosity. "What do we need to do?" she asked.

  🂫 Jack of Spades replied, "We need to focus our magic and combine our powers. If we work together, we should be able to create enough energy to levitate an object."

  Futaba nodded, feeling a sense of anticipation and excitement. She watched as the cards closed their surfaces and focused their energy.

  As they worked, a small object on Futaba's desk began to lift off the surface. It hovered in the air for a few moments before slowly descending back down.

  Futaba gasped in amazement, feeling a sense of wonder and awe at the magic of her cards.

  "That was incredible! You really are magical cards," she exclaimed, feeling a sense of gratitude and amazement towards her cards.

  Futaba quickly came up with the idea, "Cards! Let's make a small carpet out of yourselves. I just wonder if you are able to carry me in the air."

  The cards looked at each other, feeling excited and intrigued by Futaba's idea. They began to move and shuffle around, working together to create a small carpet out of themselves.

  As Futaba climbed onto the carpet, the cards lifted her up into the air, carrying her smoothly and steadily through the room. Futaba felt a sense of excitement and wonder, marveling at the way her magical cards could carry her through the air.

  Futaba giggled, "Who wants to be a control center for the carpet?" she asked, feeling excited at the prospect of controlling the direction and speed of the carpet.

  🃔 Four of Clubs spoke up, "I can do it, Futaba! I'll be the control center for the carpet," he said, feeling a sense of excitement at the opportunity to control the direction and speed of the carpet.

  As Futaba took 🃔 Four of Clubs in her hand and directed the carpet through the air, the other cards cheered and laughed in excitement. They felt a sense of joy and adventure, knowing that they were able to create a magical experience for Futaba and share in the fun with her.

  As they flew through the air, Futaba and the cards felt a sense of freedom and exhilaration. They felt connected to each other and to the world around them, knowing that anything was possible with the power of magic and imagination.

  After a while, they landed back on the ground, feeling a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. Futaba smiled, feeling grateful for her magical cards and the wonderful experiences they shared together.

  In the evening, while Futaba was busy in the kitchen, her cards were playing with themselves on her desk.

  The cards were having a great time playing games and chatting with each other on the desk. 🂫 Jack of Spades was telling a funny story about his adventures in a game of poker, while 🃅 Five of Diamonds was sharing some tips for winning at solitaire.

  🃏 Joker was in the middle of performing a magic trick, trying to impress the other cards with his skills. The cards were watching him intently, eagerly waiting to see what he would do next.

  As they played, they could hear Futaba moving around in the kitchen, and they knew it was almost time for dinner. They began to wrap up their games and activities, getting ready to settle down for the night.

  As Futaba finished preparing dinner, she joined her magical cards on the desk, feeling happy and content. They enjoyed a delicious meal together, chatting and laughing about their adventures and experiences.

  After dinner, Futaba suggested, "Why don't we play a game of Truth or Dare?"

  The cards looked at each other, feeling excited at the prospect of playing a new game. They eagerly agreed, ready to see what kind of questions and challenges they would face.

  Futaba started the game, asking the first question, "Okay, 🃘 Eight of Clubs, truth or dare?"

  🃘 Eight of Clubs thought for a moment before responding, "Truth."

  Futaba grinned, "Alright, let's see... What's the craziest thing you've ever done?"

  🃘 Eight of Clubs thought back to her experiences as a card in a deck and chuckled, "Well, I once jumped out of a player's hand and landed on the ceiling. It was a pretty wild ride!"

  The other cards laughed, imagining the image of a playing card flying through the air and sticking to the ceiling.

  Futaba then turned to 🂫 Jack of Spades, "Okay, your turn. Truth or dare?"

  🂫 Jack of Spades grinned, feeling confident, "Dare."

  Futaba thought for a moment before coming up with a challenge, "I dare you to do a somersault off the edge of the desk!"

  🂫 Jack of Spades hesitated for a moment before bravely jumping off the desk and performing a perfect somersault in mid-air.

  The other cards cheered and clapped, impressed by 🂫 Jack of Spades's daring feat.

  Futaba turned to 🂪 Ten of Spades, "Truth or dare?"

  🂪 Ten of Spades thought for a moment before answering, "Dare."

  Futaba grinned mischievously, "I dare you to try and balance yourself on one corner without falling over!"

  🂪 Ten of Spades looked a little nervous but accepted the challenge. She slowly shifted her weight and managed to balance herself on one corner, much to the amazement of the other cards.

  They all cheered and clapped, impressed by 🂪 Ten of Spades' skills. As the game continued, they all took turns asking truth-or-dare questions, and everyone had a great time getting to know each other better and having fun together.

  Finally, it was Futaba's turn.

  🂱 Ace of Hearts turned to Futaba and asked, "Truth or dare, Futaba?"

  Futaba thought for a moment before deciding, "Dare."

  🂱 Ace of Hearts grinned mischievously, "I dare you to do a dance party with us!"

  Futaba laughed, feeling a bit embarrassed but also excited at the prospect of dancing with her magical cards. She turned on some music and began to dance with her cards, moving to the rhythm and laughing as they all danced together.

  The other cards cheered and clapped, feeling happy and energized by the dance party. They moved around the desk, dancing and singing along to the music, feeling a sense of joy and freedom.

  As the dance party came to an end, Futaba smiled, feeling grateful for her magical cards and the joy they brought into her life. She knew that no matter what kind of day she had, she could always count on her cards to bring a sense of magic and wonder into her world.

  She sat at her desk again and giggled, "I feel like Alice in Wonderland, with all these magical cards and adventures we've been having!"

  The cards looked at her, feeling a sense of happiness and contentment. They were grateful to be a part of Futaba's life and to share in her adventures and experiences.

  🃏 Joker spoke up, "You know, Futaba, we feel the same way. We love being a part of your life and going on all these adventures with you. It's like we're living in our own little wonderland."

  The other cards nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of joy and excitement at the thought of all the adventures they had yet to experience with Futaba.

  Futaba smiled, feeling grateful for her magical cards and the special bond she shared with them. She knew that they were more than just ordinary playing cards - they were her friends and companions on this magical journey called life.

  She stood and stretched herself, "It is pretty dark outside, so I think it's time for me to get some rest. Good night, my magical cards," she said, feeling happy and content.

  The cards replied in unison, "Good night, Futaba. Sweet dreams!"

  As Futaba went to bed, the cards settled into their deck, feeling satisfied and happy with the fun they had just had. They whispered to each other, sharing their thoughts and feelings about the day's adventures and looking forward to what the next day would bring.

  They knew that they were lucky to be Futaba's magical cards and to share in her experiences. They felt a sense of gratitude and contentment, knowing that they had each other and their wonderful adventures to look forward to.

  As they settled in for the night, the cards felt a sense of peace and contentment, knowing that they were safe and loved in the warm embrace of Futaba's care.

  The next day, during the lunch break in the school cafeteria, she sat together with her friend Ayumi again. They chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company and the break from classes.

  Futaba suddenly remembered something and reached into her backpack, pulling out her deck of magical cards.

  "Hey Ayumi, want to see something cool?" she asked, feeling excited to show her friend her magical cards.

  Ayumi looked at the deck of cards, feeling intrigued. "Sure, what do you have in mind?" she asked.

  Futaba smiled and began to shuffle the cards, showing Ayumi some of the games and activities she had played with her magical cards.

  Ayumi was amazed by the cards and couldn't believe how they could move and play games on their own. She watched as Futaba played a game of circle solitaire, marveling at the way the cards moved around the circle and worked together to complete the game.

  "That's incredible! Your cards really are magical," Ayumi exclaimed, feeling a sense of awe and wonder.

  Futaba smiled, feeling happy that she could share her magical cards with her friend. "Do you want to play a game with me and my magical cards?" she asked.

  Ayumi eagerly agreed, "Yes, let's play something together!"

  Futaba smiled, "Come after the lessons to the school's garden. We will be playing card-based croquet here." She giggled.

  Ayumi looked excited, "That sounds like a lot of fun! I'll be sure to come. Can I bring with me Kasumi and Momoka too?"

  Futaba nodded, "Of course! The more, the merrier. I'll bring enough magical cards for everyone to play with."

  Ayumi smiled, feeling grateful for Futaba's invitation. "Thanks, Futaba! I'm looking forward to it."

  The two friends finished their lunch and went back to their classes, excited for the afternoon's card-based croquet game.

  After the classes Futaba went to the school's garden, carrying a deck of her magical cards. As she arrived, she saw Ayumi, Kasumi, and Momoka waiting for her.

  "Hey, Futaba! We're ready to play croquet!" Ayumi exclaimed, feeling excited.

  Futaba smiled, "Great! Let's set up the course and get started."

  She took her deck of magical cards and said, "My dear cards, create a magical croquet course, please." She smiled widely.

  The cards began to shuffle and move around, working together to create a croquet course that was both beautiful and magical. They created arches and hoops out of themselves, forming a twisting and turning path that led through the garden.

  As they worked, the cards chatted and giggled, feeling excited at the prospect of playing croquet with Futaba and her friends.

  Futaba and her friends watched in amazement as the cards created the course, marveling at the way they moved and shifted to form the arches and hoops.

  Once the course was set up, Futaba asked her cards again, "Who wants to be our mallets and balls? There are four players in total."

  The cards shuffled and moved around, volunteering for the roles of mallets and balls. 🂩 Nine of Spades became the mallet for Futaba, 🃟 Joker - the mallet for Ayumi, 🃛 Jack of Clubs - the mallet for Kasumi, and 🃞 King of Clubs - the mallet for Momoka. As for balls, 🂵 Five of Hearts, 🂷 Seven of Hearts, 🃔 Four of Clubs, and 🃘 Eight of Clubs became the colorful balls for the game.

  The other card giggled, remaining as parts of the course and cheering on their friends.

  Futaba, Ayumi, Kasumi, and Momoka took their positions and began to play. The game was both challenging and fun, as they navigated their way through the twisting and turning course, using their magical cards as mallets and balls.

  Futaba took the first move. She hit the 🃘 Eight of Clubs ball through the first hoop, earning her a point.

  🃘 Eight of Clubs moaned, "Ah, don't hit me too hard, Futaba."

  Futaba giggled, "Don't worry, 🃘 Eight of Clubs. I'll be gentle with you."

  The other cards on the course cheered and giggled, enjoying the game and the antics of their magical friends.

  As the game progressed, the players worked their way through the course, hitting their balls through the arches and hoops and earning points along the way.

  At one point, Kasumi hit the 🂷 Seven of Hearts ball too hard, sending it flying off the course and into a nearby bush. The other players laughed, teasing her about her powerful swing.

  Kasumi pouted, feeling embarrassed but also amused by her mistake. "Hey, it was an accident!" she protested, joining in the laughter.

  The game continued, with each player taking turns and trying to hit their balls through the arches and hoops. They all had a great time, feeling happy and carefree as they played.

  After a while, they finally reached the last hoop, and Futaba had the chance to win the game with one final hit. She took a deep breath, lined up her shot, and swung her magical card mallet with all her might.

  The 🂵 Five of Hearts ball sailed through the air and landed perfectly in the last hoop, earning Futaba the final point and the victory.

  The other players cheered and congratulated her, feeling happy for their friend and the fun they had shared.

  Futaba smiled, feeling grateful for her magical cards and her friends. "Thanks, guys. That was a lot of fun," she said, feeling happy and content.

  As the four girls sat on the bench, Futaba smiled, holding the deck box, "I'm so glad we could play croquet together. And thank you for playing with my magical cards. They always have so much fun with you guys."

  Ayumi smiled, "It was really fun! Your cards are amazing, Futaba. I never knew that cards could be so magical."

  Kasumi added, "Yeah, and I love how they can move and talk and play games. It's like they have their own little personalities."

  Momoka nodded, "And the croquet course they created was so beautiful and intricate. It was like playing in a fairy tale."

  Futaba smiled, feeling grateful for her friends' enthusiasm and appreciation for her magical cards. "I'm so happy that you guys had fun. And who knows, maybe we'll have even more adventures with my magical cards in the future!"

  She smiled and continued, "Now look my trick," she opened the deck box. "Cards, revert into your card forms, and get in, please!"

  The cards obeyed Futaba's command, transforming back into their original card forms and settling neatly into the deck box. The girls looked on in amazement, marveling at the way the cards could transform and move on their own.

  Futaba closed the deck box and held it close to her, feeling a sense of warmth and happiness. "My magical cards are truly special. They bring me so much joy and happiness, and I'm grateful to have them as my friends."

  Kasumi smiled, "I just couldn't believe that cards could have such personalities and be so much fun to play with. It's like they're alive!"

  Ayumi added, "And I love how you treat them like they're your friends, Futaba. It's clear that you have a special bond with them."

  Futaba blushed, feeling touched by her friends' kind words. "Thanks, guys. My magical cards are really important to me, and I'm glad I can share their magic with you."

  The girls sat in silence for a moment, enjoying the peacefulness of the garden and the warmth of their friendship. As they got up to leave,

  Futaba held the deck box tightly, feeling a sense of contentment and happiness. She knew that she had found something truly special in her magical cards, and she couldn't wait to see what kind of adventures they would have together in the future.

  The next day was free. Futaba slept well and woke up feeling refreshed and ready for a new day. She stretched and yawned, feeling excited at the prospect of spending the day with her magical cards.

  As she got out of bed and made her way to her desk, she saw that her cards were already awake and ready to play. They were shuffling and moving around, working on a new game or activity.

  Futaba smiled, feeling happy to see her cards so active and full of energy. "Good morning, my magical cards! What do you have planned for today?"

  🂱 Ace of Hearts spoke up, "We were thinking of playing a game of hide-and-seek. Do you want to join us, Futaba?"

  Futaba grinned, "That sounds like a lot of fun! Let's do it."

  The cards quickly shuffled themselves and hid around the room, while Futaba counted to ten. As she searched for them, she could hear them giggling and whispering to each other, trying to stay hidden and avoid being found.

  Futaba searched high and low, looking behind books and under furniture, but the cards were very good at hiding. After a few minutes of searching, she finally spotted the 🃏 Joker peeking out from behind a vase on her desk.

  "Found you, 🃏 Joker!" she exclaimed, feeling proud of her discovery.

  The other cards giggled, impressed by Futaba's skills at finding them. Soon she noticed another card hiding under the bed. It was 🂷 Seven of Hearts, who had curled up into a tight ball to stay hidden.

  Futaba smiled, "I found you, 🂷 Seven of Hearts! You're very good at hiding."

  🂷 Seven of Hearts giggled, "Thanks, Futaba! I thought I was being sneaky."

  As the game continued, Futaba found the other cards one by one, feeling excited and happy each time she made a discovery. The cards were very good at hiding, and it took her a while to find them all.

  Once the game was over, the cards gathered together, feeling happy and satisfied. 🂪 Ten of Spades spoke up, "That was a lot of fun, Futaba. You're really good at finding us!"

  Futaba smiled, feeling proud of her skills at finding the hidden cards. "Thanks, guys. You were all very good at hiding, but I was determined to find you!"

  The cards giggled and chatted, sharing stories and experiences from the game. They felt a sense of closeness and friendship, knowing that they could always rely on each other for fun and adventure.

  As the day went on, Futaba and her magical cards continued to play and explore, creating new games and adventures together. They laughed and talked, enjoying the magic of their friendship and the joy of being together.

  Finally, she gathered them together and shuffled once more. Futaba smiled, feeling happy and content after a fun day spent with her magical cards. As the sun began to set and the day came to a close, she gathered her cards together and shuffled them once more.

  "Thank you for another wonderful day, my magical cards. You always know how to make me smile and bring me joy," she said, feeling grateful for her special friends.

  The cards looked up at her, feeling a sense of warmth and affection. They knew that they were an important part of Futaba's life, and they felt grateful for the bond they shared with her.

  She took seven cards from the deck. She put them on the desk with their faces up.

  She looked at them and smiled. 🃘 Eight of Clubs, 🂪 Ten of Spades, 🂷 Seven of Hearts, 🃅 Five of Diamonds, 🂽 Queen of Hearts, 🃎 King of Diamonds, and 🂡 Ace of Spades looked back at her with curiosity, wondering what she had in store for them.

  Futaba smiled and started, "Today is the special day, my precious seven cards. Today is a day to revert back to your original forms. To revert you all back to being humans, my friends."

  The cards looked at Futaba in surprise, unsure of what she meant. They had never heard of such a thing before.

  🃘 Eight of Clubs spoke up, "What do you mean, Futaba? How can we revert back to being humans?"

  Futaba took another seven cards from her desk. There were same seven cards, like the ones she had selected earlier.

  "These are original ones from this deck of cards. You, my friends, became cards a couple of weeks ago, using your own magical abilities. And I put you into this deck in place of the original ones," she explained, holding up the new cards for them to see.

  The seven magical cards looked at each other in amazement, realizing for the first time that they had once been humans themselves. They felt a sense of wonder and curiosity, eager to explore this new aspect of their identity.

  🂡 Ace of Spades spoke up, "So, if we revert back to our original forms, we'll be humans again?"

  Futaba smiled, "Yes, but first we need to remember your human names. It is abnormal for humans to have names like Ace of Spades or Eight of Clubs, right?"

  The cards nodded in agreement, feeling excited at the prospect of discovering their human identities.

  "🂪 Ten of Spades, you are Fumi. My little sister, one year younger than me, you are a schoolgirl too, like me. And you are a nanomachines user. Can transform yourself and other people and things around you," Futaba explained.

  Fumi listened intently, feeling amazed at the new information about her human identity. "Wow, that's so cool! I never knew I had nanomachines powers. I can't wait to explore this new aspect of myself."

  Futaba smiled, "I'm glad you're excited, Fumi, but it is not a new aspect of yourself. You just forgot a bit of your human life. And I am here to help you all to remember something important."

  "Now, 🃅 Five of Diamonds, you are Ryoko. You are a schoolgirl, Fumi's classmate. You are just her friend, without special abilities. And 🂷 Seven of Hearts, you are Hayami. You are a schoolgirl too, the same as Ryoko. You are Fumi's friend."

  Ryoko and Hayami listened intently as Futaba explained their human identities to them. They felt a sense of excitement and curiosity, eager to explore their past and reconnect with their human selves.

  "Thank you, Futaba. I can't wait to remember more about my past and discover my human identity," Ryoko said, feeling grateful for Futaba's help.

  Hayami nodded in agreement, "Yes, I feel like I have a lot to learn about myself. But with your help, Futaba, I know we can do it."

  Futaba smiled, feeling happy to help her magical cards rediscover their human identities. "Of course, I'm here to help you all in any way I can. And there are four more of you left."

  She continued, "🃘 Eight of Clubs, your name is Alice. You are my maid. You are good at cooking and tea making. And 🂡 Ace of Spades, you are Kana. You are my best friend and also a high school student from a parallel class. You are kind-hearted and love to read. And a stylish and powerful purple magic witch too."

  The black cat meowed at Kana, "I'm Kuro, your cat familiar, and I'm here to help you remember your true self, Kana."

  Kana smiled, feeling happy to learn more about her human identity. "Thank you, Futaba and Kuro. I'm excited to explore my past and discover who I really am."

  Futaba turned to the last two cards, "And 🂽 Queen of Hearts, you are Chiaki. You are my friend and classmate, also a high school student. You are a magical core user, and you like using it for transformations. And 🃎 King of Diamonds, you are Haruka. You are the same as Chiaki, my friend, classmate, and even a magical core user too!"

  Chiaki and Haruka listened intently as Futaba explained their human identities to them. They felt a sense of wonder and excitement, eager to explore their past and rediscover their true selves.

  "Wow, I can't believe I have magical core powers! That sounds amazing," Chiaki exclaimed, feeling amazed at the new information about her human identity.

  Haruka nodded in agreement, "Yes, and I can't wait to explore my own powers and learn more about myself. Thank you for helping us remember, Futaba."

  Futaba smiled, feeling happy to help her magical cards rediscover their human identities. "Of course, I'm here to help you all in any way I can. And now, let's start the process of reverting you back to your human forms."

  She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, focusing her energy on the deck of cards in front of her. With a wave of her hand, she giggled, "Kana, Fumi, Chiaki, and Haruka. Use your abilities to revert to your original forms and come to life, my dear friends. Help Ryoko, Hayami, and Alice too, they don't have such abilities as you."

  The seven magical cards began to glow with a soft, warm light as they reverted back to their original human forms. Kana, Fumi, Chiaki, and Haruka used their abilities to help Ryoko, Hayami, and Alice with the transformation process.

  As the light faded, seven young women stood before Futaba, each with their own unique appearance and personality. They looked at each other in amazement, feeling both excited and curious about their new identities.

  Futaba smiled, feeling happy to see her magical cards transformed back into their human forms. "Welcome back, my dear friends. It's so good to see you again."

  Kana, Fumi, Chiaki, Haruka, Ryoko, Hayami, and Alice smiled back at her, feeling grateful for her help and support. They knew that they had a lot to learn about their past and their new identities, but they were excited to explore this new aspect of themselves.

  "Thank you for helping us remember, Futaba. We couldn't have done it without you," Kana said, feeling emotional and grateful.

  Futaba smiled, "Of course, I'm here for you all. And I can't wait to explore this new chapter of our friendship together."

  The group of friends stood together, feeling happy and content. They knew that they had a lot to learn and discover about themselves, but they were excited to take on this new challenge together. As they walked out into the world, they knew that they had each other's support and friendship to guide them on their journey.

  Alice smiled, "Tea, tea! It's time for our tea party." She quickly walked to the kitchen and put the cookies in the oven.

  While Alice was busy in the kitchen, the others continued to chat and catch up on their memories and identities as humans. They shared stories about their past lives, laughing and reminiscing about the good times.

  Hayami smiled, "I remember now, we used to have so much fun together. Going to the park, having picnics, and playing games. It feels like it was so long ago."

  Ryoko nodded in agreement, "Yes, but it's like we never forgot each other. Even when we were transformed into cards, we still had this connection."

  Fumi added, "And thanks to Futaba, we were able to remember who we really are. It's amazing how much power and magic she has."

  Futaba giggled, "I don't have magic at all. It's all your' powers. I just can convince you to remember and use them. You all have amazing abilities and powers, and I'm just here to help you remember and harness them."

  As they chatted, Alice came back with a tray of freshly baked cookies and a teapot filled with steaming hot tea. She set the tray down on the table and poured the tea into delicate teacups, inviting everyone to enjoy.

  "Thank you, Alice. These cookies and tea are delicious," Ryoko said, taking a bite of a cookie.

  Haruka added, "Yes, and it's so nice to be able to enjoy these treats as humans again. I almost forgot how much I love the taste of tea and cookies."

  They continued to enjoy their tea party, savoring the delicious treats and sharing stories and memories. As the night wore on and the stars began to twinkle in the sky, they knew that their bond as friends and their rediscovery of their human identities would only strengthen with time.

  Futaba sipped her tea, "By the way, thanks for making my old deck of cards magical with your powers. They are now alive too. Yes, all of my 52 cards?" she asked as she opened their card box.

  The cards in the box shuffled and moved around, eager to show off their magical abilities. They formed different shapes and patterns, creating a beautiful and intricate display.

  Futaba smiled, feeling grateful for her cards' magic and the special bond she shared with them. "Wow, you guys are amazing. I'm so lucky to have you as my friends."

  She took out the top card from the deck and examined it closely. It was the 🂡 Ace of Spades, the same card that Kana had been transformed into.

  Futaba held up the Ace of Spades card and looked at it closely, feeling a sense of wonder and curiosity. "You know, Kana, I've always wondered why the Ace of Spades is considered the most powerful card in the deck. Do you have any idea?"

  Kana thought for a moment before answering, "Well, in some games, the Ace of Spades is worth more points than any other card. And in some cultures, it's considered a symbol of power and authority. But I'm not sure if there's any specific reason why it's considered the most powerful card."

  🂡 Ace of Spades blushed in Futaba's hand, "Thanks for the compliment, Kana. But I have to agree with you, I'm not sure why I'm considered the most powerful card either. Maybe it's just because I look cool and have a lot of detail."

  Futaba smiled, feeling amused by the card's humility. "Well, you certainly do look cool, 🂡 Ace of Spades. And you're also one of my favorite cards."

  The other cards in the deck box giggled, feeling happy for their friend's recognition. They knew that each card had their own unique strengths and abilities, and they felt grateful for Futaba's appreciation of all of them.

  Chiaki giggled, "Fumi, do you have strong feelings for 🂫 Jack of Spades? We all noticed your movement with him inside the deck, when you were a card."

  Fumi blushed, feeling embarrassed by Chiaki's question. "Um, well, I don't know. Maybe a little bit? He's a really cool card and he always seemed really protective of me when we were both cards."

  The 🂫 Jack of Spades card blushed as well, feeling shy and uncertain. "I-I don't know what you're talking about, Chiaki. Fumi and I were just friends when we were cards."

  Kana giggled, "And what about these wear-out spots on your back? That Fumi used to rub all the time when she was a card? It seems like there might be something more than just friendship there."

  The 🂫 Jack of Spades blushed even more deeply, feeling embarrassed by Kana's observation. "Okay, okay, maybe there's a little something there. But we're still just cards, so it's not like we can do anything about it."

  Futaba smiled, feeling happy for her magical cards and their unique relationships with each other. She knew that they all had their own personalities and quirks, and she loved them all for who they were.

  "Well, I'm glad you all have such close relationships with each other. It's amazing how much you all have in common, even though you're all such different cards," she said, feeling grateful for the bond they all shared.

  The cards in the deck box nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of warmth and affection for their friends. They knew that they were all part of something special, and they felt grateful to be a part of Futaba's life.

  Kana asked, "Futaba, how do you come up with the idea of a croquet game with us?"

  Futaba smiled, "I was inspired by a book I read about a magical croquet game. It sounded so fun and whimsical, and I thought it would be the perfect activity to do with you guys. And of course, your magic made the game even more amazing and enchanting."

  Fumi nodded, "It really was a fun game. I never knew croquet could be so magical!"

  Chiaki added, "And the way the cards created the course and obstacles was really impressive. It was like we were playing in a whole other world."

  Haruka smiled, "I agree, it was really amazing. And I'm grateful to have such wonderful friends and magical powers."

  The other cards in the deck box nodded in agreement, feeling grateful for their special bond with Futaba and each other. They knew that they were part of something unique and magical, and they felt lucky to be a part of it.

  Ryoko sighed, munching the cookie, "And now we are not able to gather ourselves into a card house. We are returned to our human bodies."

  Alice giggled, "But my collective being, that is is made from the merged gymnastics club members can." Suddenly she split into Sayuri, Aya, Miyu, Nao, Kaori, Yuna, Sakura, and Rina.

  Futaba's eyes widened in amazement as Alice split into eight different people. Every time, when Alice used her collective being were unexpected, and Futaba was always amazed by her abilities.

  Rina, as gymnastics club captain, asked, "Can you introduce your magical card deck to us, 'collective mind deck'." She laughed.

  Futaba smiled, feeling happy to show her deck of magical cards to her friends. "Of course, I would love to introduce you to my deck of cards."

  She took out the deck of cards and spread them out on the table, letting her friends examine them closely. As they looked at the cards, she explained the different suits and values of the cards, as well as some of the special abilities and powers of the magical cards.

  Sayuri, one of the members of Alice's collective being, picked up the 🂷 Seven of Hearts and examined it closely. "Wow, this is really cool. I've never seen a magical card like this before."

  Miyu, another member of the collective being, picked up the 🃘 Eight of Clubs and turned it over in her hands. "And this one is so intricate and detailed. It must have taken a lot of magic to create all of these designs."

  🃘 Eight of Clubs giggled, "You all were like me, as Eight of Clubs."

  Nao giggled, "Yeah, each one as one of the Clubs, eight in total. And our host Alice as a card."

  Kaori picked up the 🂡 Ace of Spades and held it up to the light. "This one looks like it has a lot of power. I can feel it just by holding it."

  Futaba nodded, "Yes, the Ace of Spades is considered one of the most powerful cards in the deck. But all of my magical cards have their own unique powers and abilities."

  Yuna picked up the 🂽 Queen of Hearts and smiled, "This one is my favorite. It looks so regal and elegant, just like a queen should be."

  Sakura giggled, "And the 🃎 King of Diamonds is my favorite. He looks so dashing and debonair, like a true king."

  Futaba smiled, feeling happy to see her friends enjoying her magical cards. She knew that each card held a special place in her heart, and she felt grateful for the bond she shared with all of them.

  Suddenly, the oven beeped, indicating that the cookies were done. Alice quickly jumped up and retrieved them, bringing them back to the table for everyone to enjoy.

  As they munched on the warm and delicious cookies, they continued to chat and catch up, enjoying each other's company and the special bond they all shared. Futaba felt grateful for her friends, both human and magical, and she knew that they would always be a special part of her life.

  Futaba looked at Alice, "I was just busy with calculations. How many souls are inside our guest room now?"

  Alice smiled, "8 girls, 8 collective being members, 1 cat familiar, 2 magical crystals, 52 magical cards. Do not forget to press the Plus button on the calculator, Futaba," she giggled.

  Futaba laughed, feeling amused by Alice's teasing. "You're right, I almost forgot to press the Plus button. Thank you for keeping me on my toes, Alice."

  Alice giggled, "We need to buy a new tea set for 71 people."

  Futaba's eyes widened in surprise, "71 people? That's a lot of people! Who are the other 61 people?"

  Alice smiled, "I counted all the members of the collective beings. And also, I included all the cards in your magical deck."

  Futaba nodded, feeling amazed by the sheer number of beings that were now a part of her life. "Wow, that's incredible. I never realized just how many magical friends I had."

  She paused for a moment, thinking about Alice's suggestion of buying a new tea set. "Well, I guess we better start shopping then. We'll need a lot of tea cups and saucers for all of our growing magical family."

  🂫 Jack of Spades giggled, "What if someone prefers coffee? We should buy a professional coffee machine too, to be able to serve an entire group of magical beings."

  Futaba smiled, "That's a great idea, 🂫 Jack of Spades. We should definitely have coffee as an option for ourselves too. I'll make sure to add a coffee machine to our shopping list."

  Chiaki added, "And what about snacks? We can't just have tea and coffee without some delicious treats to go along with them."

  Haruka nodded, "Yes, we should have a variety of snacks to choose from. Sweet, savory, and everything in between."

  🃍 Queen of Diamonds chimed in, "And we should make sure to have some gluten-free options for anyone who has dietary restrictions."

  Kuro added, "And some vegan options too, for anyone who doesn't eat animal products."

  Futaba smiled, feeling grateful for her friends' thoughtful suggestions. "Thank you all for your ideas. It sounds like we're going to have quite the feast!"

  Alice giggled, "Don't forget the decoration. We will need new tablecloths, napkins, flowers, and candles."

  Futaba nodded, feeling excited at the prospect of decorating for their upcoming magical tea party. "You're right, Alice. We'll need to make sure everything looks beautiful and magical."

  The group continued to discuss their plans for the tea party, sharing ideas and suggestions for how to make it a magical and memorable event. As they talked, Futaba felt a sense of warmth and affection for her growing family of magical friends. She knew that they were all part of something special, and she felt grateful for each and every one of them.
