Chapter 38 Poker

When Kaito saw the deck of cards in Ze Yu's hand, he felt unwell.

He recognized that the deck of cards in the other person's hand was the same one he had been using before. After all, his things were marked, so he would definitely not make a mistake.

But at some point, the playing cards that Kaito had on him were taken by the kid opposite.

When exactly is it?

Kaito was very sure that his playing cards had never been tampered with by anyone, so how could they suddenly appear in the other person's hand?
Is this a special technique?

Could it be that this blond boy sitting in front of him, who was as perfect as a work of art, was a skilled thief just like himself?

However, Kaito had just put the playing cards into the pocket inside his clothes one second, and they disappeared the next second. This is difficult to explain with any technique.

He just touched himself, actually checking his clothes, but he didn't find anything wrong, and there were no signs of damage in the pocket inside the clothes.

In order to store some delicate items, Kaito's pockets have several layers of structure. If someone touches them, he will definitely feel it.

But now, his clothes were intact, without any signs of having been tampered with.

Kaito frowned imperceptibly and recalled every detail that had happened before.

He had clearly put the entire deck of cards into his pocket intactly with his own hands. Why did the cards disappear inexplicably just after his fingers left the pocket for less than a breath?
what is the reason?
Kaito has a high IQ and a very flexible brain. In just half a second, several different guesses and plans have emerged in his mind, but they were all overturned by him.

After overturning most of the speculations, Kaito felt a headache for the first time in a long time.

Perhaps, the opponent's method cannot be explained by science at all...

A bold idea emerged in Kaito's mind.

Could this strange child be a magician from a magic family?
Thinking of this, Kaito discovered something else.

In fact, he knew very little about magic. Up to now, the only person related to magic he had met was Hongzi.

And Akaneko is very beautiful and has a strong charm, even stronger than Kaito's childhood sweetheart Aoko, although Kaito himself doesn't care much about Akaneko's charm and may even ignore it subconsciously.

However, one thing is certain: magicians are always different.

Because the personalities and behaviors of those magicians are so unique, they are easy to recognize.

Just like the blond boy sitting opposite Kaito, in terms of appearance alone, he is even better than Anko, and there is no flaw at all. He is so perfect that he doesn't seem like a human being in the real world, but rather a character from a fantasy novel...

The most important thing is that Kaito can't see through his opponent's tactics, which is unscientific.

Since it's unscientific, it's magic.

Therefore, this cute blond boy is most likely the magician of the magic family.

Kaito thought for a while, his expression returned to calm, and with a gentle smile, he opened his palm and waved it in front of Ze Yu.

"Look, I don't have anything in my hand..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped his palm on the table. When he raised it again, a deck of cards appeared in his hand, exactly the same as the previous deck.

As a magician, Kaito naturally has a lot of spare magic materials on him. Even if one of the decks of cards is taken away by Sawaha, he has new cards to use.

"Wow, what an amazing magic trick! Big Brother is awesome."

Ze Yu praised with a smile, his tone was sincere but there was no surprise in his eyes.

"Don't be surprised, there's more."

Kaito's face remained calm. He stretched out his finger, randomly picked a card from the fifty-four playing cards, and flipped it open to take a look.

Ze Yu looked up.

The front of this poker card is different from other poker cards. It has no points but a huge sea bream. "Little friend, this is the sea bream you wanted. Isn't it cute?" Kaito's face was no longer calm as before, revealing a hint of pride.

"It's very cute."

Ze Yu was finally a little surprised.

"In that case, I'll give you this 'snapper' as a gift."

Kaito said proudly, placing the playing card with the sea bream pictured on it into Sawaha's hand.

Ze Yu nodded gently, accepted the poker card with peace of mind, and then said: "Big brother, do you know? There is an idiom in China called 'reciprocity'. You gave me a gift, so I can't go empty-handed."

"I'll give you this deck of cards in my hand. One for fifty-four. That's dozens of times the return. Are you satisfied?"

"........."

The corner of Kuroba Kaito's mouth twitched imperceptibly and he complained silently in his heart.

He took something stolen from me and gave it to me as a gift, and acted so naturally, even pretending to be proud of it and saying "Praise me now"...

Where is your face?

Although Kaito felt speechless in his heart, there was nothing wrong with his face. He still kept smiling and said with a smile: "Then I'll accept it."

He took the deck of cards from Ze Yu's hand and checked it out of habit.

It was just such a simple check, but it made him completely stunned.

"what?"

Kaito's eyes suddenly widened.

Why did the deck of cards in his hand become different from before?

Kaito was very sure that the deck of cards he was holding in his hand was the same one he had used before, because there were marks left by him on it.

Although this deck of cards is still the same, it has completely changed compared to what it looked like a few minutes ago.

Kaito curiously took out one of the playing cards and flipped it over.

On this playing card, there is a picture of a little blue turtle with round eyes and clear blue water flowing beside it.

He put down the card in surprise and picked up another one.

There is also an animal drawn on this playing card. It is a red baby fire dragon with a flame burning at the tip of its tail. It looks very cute.

Kaito blinked and turned over the third playing card.

This playing card features a frog with a huge flower bud on its back, which also looks very cute.

"Did you draw this?" Kaito was a little amazed and couldn't help but say, "It's a very good drawing, it looks like the real thing..."

After saying that, he turned over the fourth playing card.

This is a cute golden squirrel that looks a bit like a rabbit. It has a pair of long ears and red cheeks, and its tail is shaped like lightning.

"Ok?"

Kaito stared at the playing cards in his hand in surprise, then subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the blond shota opposite him.

How do you feel?

A bit similar?
