The girl we met during our snowboarding lessons:
Torii Mifuyu.
She has stage fright, yet she's amazing and energetic, and she has a Guardian Chara.
We became character pals with her, but...
On the day of the official snowboarding event,
she started acting strangely.
What in the world happened?
Mifuyu!
Torii Mifuyu's X Egg...
It is worthy of being the first subject this experiment is tried on.
This is the only equipment on hand,
but it's more than enough to extract the data.
I can't...
I can't do anything.
Mifuyu!
Mifuyu, what's wrong?
Guys...
You came.
Is she here?
No.
What's wrong?
Snoppe is missing.
Mifuyu, where's Snoppe?
I don't know.
I...
Snoppe isn't just missing; I can't feel her presence at all.
Does that mean she's far away?
Anyway, at this rate, Mifuyu won't be able to compete.
Yeah.
It's the same as your heart's egg disappearing.
Competitor Torii, are you all right?
You look kind of pale.
I'm...
She's just feeling a little ill right now. She'll be fine in a bit.
Right.
When is Torii's start time?
In about thirty minutes, I think.
There's not much time left.
Let's go, Hinamori.
Yeah.
Mifuyu, we'll definitely bring Snoppe back.
Wait until then.
Amu...
Now that I'm paying attention, this is the same place as before!
I've come this far just to meet with upperclassman Hinamori,
but now I'm completely lost.
Where in the world am I?
Kiseki.
Indeed.
Temari.
Yes, ma'am.
Daichi!
Right!
Ran.
Yeah!
Character change!
What should we do?
She's nowhere to be found.
Don't worry.
The egg has to be somewhere.
Let's concentrate.
It's up to you, Daichi.
Leave it to me!
We should know when we're getting close.
Let's split up and search!
Right.
It's decided!
That's a grade-A score!
That was a beautiful turn.
She stabilized her upper leg movement.
Incredible!
That girl's pretty good.
Snoppe!
Where are you?
Come out!
Well, did you guys feel anything?
No, nothing yet.
Did you see anything, Amu?
Don't worry. I'm sure we'll find her.
Yeah.
Let's go.
I knew it.
It's just as I thought,
or possibly an even higher level of power.
Excuse me!
Can you give me directions?
Excuse me!
Pardon me.
I thought I felt someone's presence inside.
It must have been my imagination.
Sorry to bother you.
What was that sound?
An egg?
I can't, I can't!
I shouldn't be looking through other people's stuff without permission.
Excuse me!
What's he doing here?
Nonetheless, it's not certain that I won't be bothered again.
I need to take precautions.
I won't be able to snowboard this way.
I never had the strength to meet their expectations.
Even from the start!
Snoppe.
Mifuyu.
Yamabuki Saya, the celebrity of the slopes, has to retire like this!
Right?
That's right!
Cheering in the cold with the public is something I can't do, right?
That's right!
Why only Yamabuki?
Right?
Hey, isn't that Torii?
You're right. What's wrong?
People's voices. I'm saved!
Hinamori!
Are you all right?
Rather, what are you doing here?
As expected of upperclassman Hinamori!
Your snowboarding figure is also good!
Like I said...
You came just to meet Amu?
Right! While I was watching TV at my grandma's house, Hinamori was on camera,
so I thought, as Hinamori's fan, I had no choice but to come.
Really?
Is your grandma's house close?
By train, it's about an hour.
It's lucky that I happened to be nearby.
You're incredible.
Anyway, how did it go?
No good. I have no leads.
Neither do I.
I wasn't able to find anything either.
Not being able to find just one egg...
That's pretty pathetic for the guardians.
Excuse me.
Are you looking for an egg?
It's nothing you should be concerned about.
Sorry.
What should we do?
Go out one more time?
We should.
Don't they have a supermarket around here?
Maybe a vegetable shop or a convenience store?
Be quiet, you.
Sorry.
Excuse me.
I told you...
Now, now...
I saw an egg in a mountain cabin around here.
Really?
Where?
Where is the mountain cabin?
But it was only one!
And it might've been past its expiry date.
I don't think it was enough to make an omelet.
Not for that!
Don't think about the omelet. Where's the cabin?
You like your eggs sunny side up?
How was it?
Nothing.
I couldn't see the mountain cabin anywhere.
There's no other choice. We have to search on foot.
But it's strange, isn't it?
He doesn't have a Guardian Chara, but he was able to see the egg.
That's true.
It could be completely unrelated to the one we are looking for.
It can't be.
It might be because his egg was released at one time.
I see.
But it turned out to be an X Egg.
It could still be a possibility.
Who cares about that?
We have to hurry and find Snoppe!
That's right.
This is the only lead we have at the moment.
Yeah, let's hurry.
This is strange.
The readings are no longer stable.
There shouldn't be any mistakes in the program.
Maybe there was less energy inside than I originally thought.
It is one very small egg, after all.
That's right.
If I collect the unstable energy of an X Egg...
Continue searching for the embryo, though I've no idea where it is?
I'm quitting that foolish treasure hunt.
If I can't find it, I'll just make one.
The embryo... I'll create it with my own hands.
I can feel an egg.
An egg? Snoppe?
It resembles Snoppe's presence, but this is...
It's the presence of an X Egg, Amu!
An X Egg? What do you mean?
Hinamori, look there!
Is Snoppe over there?
Let's go, Amu!
Yeah.
Another nuisance.
Guardians?
What a bunch of annoying kids.
The cable?
I see. That's why there was a disturbance in the readings.
It must be because of that kid.
It's fine. I already have enough data.
I have no other use for this egg.
Wait, this powerfully unstable energy...
There's another way to use it.
Should I give it a try?
This is bad. The X Egg's presence is growing stronger.
It can't be!
Yeah, it looks like an X character is about to hatch.
Darn it!
Was that Mr. Nikaidou just now?
What is he doing here?
Amu, hurry!
Right!
Let's go!
Yeah!
An X Egg!
No, that's Snoppe!
Are you sure, Su?
There's no doubt.
It's really faint, but I can sense that it's Snoppe.
I don't know why she turned into an X Egg, though.
We have to hurry and save her!
Hinamori!
The X Egg!
Snowboard!
It was just born.
Snoppe! You're Snoppe, right?
Snowboard!
It's no use. It looks like it doesn't have Snoppe's memories.
Snoppe!
We're at a disadvantage here.
Let's move into the open.
Kiseki!
Holy Crown!
Everyone, now's our chance!
Amu, character transform!
Right!
My own heart, unlock!
Character transformation: Amulet Heart!
Everyone, cover Hinamori!
Let's go, Kukai!
Right!
Character change!
This way!
Maybe you could in a tight spot, but you'll never hit us in the wide open!
These guys are going to chase us too!
Kukai!
Daichi!
Ah, I don't feel like it.
Let's take a nap.
Why?
What's going on?
Souma!
Tadase!
Kiseki!
I'm tired of this already.
Taking over the world might be impossible.
Why?
What's gotten into everyone?
It seems that you lose your motivation when you're hit by those snowmen.
Eh? Is that even possible?
It's here!
Temari!
Yes, ma'am!
Character change!
Please stop. Please don't expect things of me!
Don't expect things!
This is the strongest enemy yet.
Amu, hurry!
B–But Kukai and Tadase couldn't do anything.
Why are you acting afraid?!
Nadeshiko, you're using that character here?
What do you think will happen to Mifuyu if this continues?
Push aside the pressure and go at full steam!
Mifuyu.
Don't expect things!
It's coming!
Amu! Quotation mark!
Symbol for "person"!
Put your hands on your head!
It's huge!
Fall back!
What are you doing?!
Quotation. Quotation. Quotation. Person. Person. Person.
Wait for me, Mifuyu, Snoppe. I'll save you now!
Negative Heart,
lock on!
Open Heart!
Snowboard!
Amu! Thank you!
Snoppe, hurry back to Mifuyu.
Right away!
Thank goodness.
Nadeshiko is back to normal, too.
What happened to me?
My body suddenly...
My ambition's revived!
An egg? Snoppe!
It seems like I've been sleeping for some reason.
Snoppe!
We just received notice
that entry number 11, Torii Mifuyu, is feeling ill.
An unforeseen physical condition? What a shame.
So, we will move on to the next entrant.
Wait a minute! I'll board! I'll board! I'll get ready right away. I'm already zooming!
It seems like she's feeling better now.
There she is!
Looks like she made it.
And Snoppe is with her.
Well, well, that was close!
Now it's time for the much-anticipated Torii Mifuyu.
What kind of boarding will she show us today?
Quotation mark!
Symbol for "person"!
Put your hands on your head!
Mifuyu! Because you'll probably ask us everything again!
Guys!
Mifuyu, are you all right?
Snoppe!
Even if we fail, it's all right!
Wiping out is part of your snowboarding fun!
That's true!
Wiping out was also fun!
Yeah!
Let's go, Snoppe.
Right away.
Incredible!
All right!
Good job!
Thank you for everything.
Looks like they selected you for the international team.
Only because of you guys.
See you, Snoppe.
Bye-bye.
I'm sad.
Report immediately if you find the embryo.
Let's meet again.
Later! Stay healthy!
Guys, goodbye!
Amu.
I'm glad I was able to meet you guys.
What are you saying all of a sudden?
It sounds like we won't meet again.
That's true.
Then, I guess I'll have to teach you snowboarding again next year.
Zoom!
Guys! Stay well!
See you.
Want to do one more run?
Right away.
That was an eventful trip.
Sure was. Really, really.
I'm pretty sure that was Mr. Nikaidou.
The person who's pulled the X Eggs out until now...
Could it have been Mr. Nikaidou instead of Ikuto?
Upperclassman Hinamori?
Yes!
I never thought I would get to ride home with upperclassman Hinamori!
By the way, is it okay if you don't go back to your grandma's house?
Upperclassman Hinamori is more important than Grandma!
What are you talking about?
Once again, it's time for our school's number one celebrity.
It's my, Yamabuki Saya's, turn!
Miss Bus Assistant?
The usual, if you please.
This is just like before!
My body is sore all over from snowboarding too much.
Let me get rid of those ailments in the blink of an eye using my magic!
One, two, three!
The pain is gone! Wait, that's just heating pad oil!
The most important part of magic is sleight of hand.
Sleight of hand gives me a sinking feeling.
To make it feel better, I'll show you a neat trick next time.
Next time on Shugo Chara:
One, Two, Three. Heart's Magic!
Better put this on your muscles, too.
That feels good.
Amu...
You sound like an old man.
