The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 493 The Existence of Magic

The temple fair continued in such a simple way. When it was dusk in the afternoon, everyone said goodbye to each other and prepared to meet again in the evening.

After all, the temple fair at night is also worth experiencing. Unfortunately, the weather is not particularly hot yet, and it is still a bit cold at night, so I can't change into a yukata that suits the atmosphere.

However, if you really want to talk about the most suitable atmosphere, it has to be the summer festival held in the hot summer months of July and August. There is also a fireworks display to enjoy at the night of the festival.

In the evening, around six o'clock.

After dinner, Xia Yu changed his clothes, stopped by Chise's house, and went to Yuefeng Shrine where the temple fair was held with Chise.

In the evening, Chiyo dressed herself up again. Not only did she change her hairstyle to two low ponytails, she also changed her clothes to a warmer long skirt.

After all, it's a bit cold at night, so you should wear something thicker.

"Did you have fun during my personality transformation, Xia Jun~"

On the way to Yuefeng Shrine, Chise walked slowly beside Xia Yu with her hands behind her back, turned her head and asked with a slight smile.

"It's, it's okay." Xia Yu waved his hands, his expression not very natural.

It’s not that he’s unhappy, but how can he say he’s happy... Anyway, his emotions are mostly filled with shock, disbelief and speechlessness. Who would have thought that after Tomoyo’s personality reversal, she would become a rebellious girl, and a tsundere at that?

Although he doesn't hate tsunderes, it's true that the current Tomoyo is cuter.

Besides, compared to the shy tsundere type, he prefers this kind of gentleness with a little bit of black heart. Tsundere has long been out of fashion!
Of course, that was in his time. In today's era, the concept of tsundere may have just emerged.

Let's get back to the point. Since they parted this afternoon, with Sakura's consent, he did not hesitate to restore Sakura and Tomoyo, whose personalities had changed, to their original personalities.

The oppressive Sakura disappeared and returned to being the silly Sakura she used to be. The rebellious and tsundere Tomoyo also returned to being the gentle and dark Tomoyo she used to be.

After this incident, he felt that he would never reverse other people's personalities so easily again. After all, who knows what the personality will be like after the reversal? It is impossible to guess. It is better to stick with the familiar personality now.

As if sensing the depression hidden beneath Xia Yu's expression, Zhi Shi covered his mouth and laughed secretly: "It seems that you are not very happy."

"I didn't say..."

"Yes, yes, the Xia Jun in my memory was also very happy~"

Zhishi responded with a smile. In fact, even if she didn't ask Xia Yu, she knew the situation. After all, she also had the memory of her personality reversal. Personality is personality, and it will not affect memory.

Hearing Zhishi's words, Xia Yu's face turned red. He almost forgot about this. The reversal of personality would not affect his memory. He also had his own memories after his personality reversal.

So Tomoyo actually knows how he feels, but now she's pretending not to know and asking him...

He is indeed a sinister person.

"Humph!"

Xia Yu couldn't help but snort to express his dissatisfaction.

Zhi Shize smiled and hugged Xia Yu's arm, shook him softly and said, "I'm sorry, please forgive me, or I will cry in front of you."

"Then, I forgive you then."

"Hee hee~"

"By the way, speaking of memories, Chise, do you still remember the time when you were completely transformed into an animal in the illusionary space?"

Xia Yu thought for a while and suddenly asked, at that time Zhishi and the others had completely turned into animals, and even lost their self-awareness. He didn't know whether they still had those animal memories, and he was quite curious.

Although he was also transformed into an animal, he remained at the half-human, half-beast stage and did not change further, so he did not know what it felt like to be completely transformed into an animal.

When they returned to reality, they walked and stopped, wandered around, and did not separate until the afternoon ended.

Since he had no chance to be alone, even if he had questions, he had to keep them to himself for the time being until now when he had time to ask them.

As for the fact that Zhi Shiji doesn't remember what happened in the illusion space, there is no need to worry about it.

Because after Tomoyo and the others woke up, Sakura quietly told him and Li Syaoran, she did not let Tomoyo and Li Meiling forget what happened before.

After all, both Tomoyo and Meiling knew the truth, so there was no need to ask them to forget. Afterwards, he and Li Xiaolang separately found Tomoyo and Li Meiling and quietly explained.

The specific situation was not explained because the time was short and there were other people there at the time, so I can only explain it in detail later.

Suddenly hearing Xia Yu mention the incident of turning into an animal before, Zhishi thought about it and shook his head.

"Um... No, my last memory is at the end of Li's fight against Thunder."

"So after you completely transform into an animal, you have no corresponding memories? What a pity."

"pity?"

"Yes."

Xia Yu chuckled: "Zhi Shi, you don't know how cute you were at that time. You curled up like a fur ball. Luckily I took a video. I'll go to your house tomorrow to show it to you."

Hearing this, Zhishi blushed slightly. This was definitely a dark history, and he didn't expect it to be filmed. Fortunately, other people didn't know about it. If only Xia Jun knew about his dark history, it wouldn't be unacceptable.

Thinking back to the time when she turned into an animal in the illusion space, Tomoyo suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that Sakura is still Sakura and couldn't turn into an animal."

"Indeed, but if Sakura turns into an animal, what animal would it be? Sakura and eagle have the same pronunciation, so could it be an eagle?"

"…That's the Chinese homophone, and the eagle and the like are too incongruous."

Chishi was speechless and complained, and at the same time he recalled those friends who turned into animals.

Cats, puppies, squirrels, black bears, rabbits...

rabbit!

Tomoyo stopped and suddenly remembered Akiho who turned into a rabbit. Speaking of which, when Sakura used magic in front of all of them, Akiho's surprise seemed to be different.

Even though she was surprised that Sakura would use magic in front of other friends, she still noticed something strange about Akiho.

Akiho's surprise was not like she had seen magic in real life, but rather she was more surprised that Sakura could use magic.

Does that mean that Akiho herself knows about the existence of magic? Or even that Akiho herself is a hidden magician?
Chishi recalled this incident and without hesitation, he told Xia Yu what he had seen and heard, and also expressed his own guess.

After listening to this, Xia Yu also frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about whether Qiu Sui knows magic or not, but she is a hidden magician... It should be impossible."

"Li Xiaolang told me that Qiu Sui has no magic power in her body, and without magic power, she can't become a magician. It should be impossible for her to be a hidden magician."

After all, the underlying rules of this world have been determined. Only those with magic power can use magic. Those without magic power can never become magicians.

As hardworking as Li Meiling is and as eager to help as she is, she can only practice her martial arts because she has no magic power and cannot use any spells.

Of course, he himself is an exception. After all, his abilities are not part of this world's system, so he naturally does not need to abide by the underlying rules of this world.

"But she herself knows about the existence of magic, so this is possible."

Thinking of this, Xia Yu speculated: "Qiu Sui has no magic power but knows magic. There are only two possibilities. Either it's your situation, Zhi Shi, or it's Li Meiling's situation."

"Natsu-kun, are you saying that Akiho either has a magician friend? Or is he from a magic family?"

Upon hearing this, Zhishi immediately understood what Xia Yu meant. Her family was not a magic family, but she had a magician friend, so she knew about the existence of magic.

Li Meiling comes from the Li family, an ancient Taoist family. Although she has no magical powers and cannot cast spells, she is also aware of the existence of magicians because she is from a magic family.

"Well, and I guess the latter possibility is more likely. Do you remember the last time you went to Qiu Sui's house?"

"Remember, what happened?"

Zhi Shi asked in confusion: "Could it be related to Mr. Kaito?"

"It's not that. Qiuhui said that everyone in her family loves reading. Ordinary families can't call themselves a family."

Xia Yu recalled Qiu Sui's words and explained to Zhi Shi casually that a family usually refers to a social group composed of people with blood ties, usually existing for several generations.

If Akiho came from a magical family, then many confusing things could be explained.

Why would a great magician like Kaito serve Akiho? Why is there a magical creature hiding beside Akiho? And even the magic item called "Book of Time" is in his possession.

Although merely speculating that Akiho came from a magical family cannot explain all the questions at once, it at least provides some clues.

Akiho is not ignorant, she knows something about magic.

After listening to Xia Yu's speculation, Zhi Shi frowned slightly and said, "Qiu Sui may be from a magic family... Could it be that she transferred here for a purpose? Just like classmate Li did before?"

"But she's not doing anything right now, and it seems like she doesn't even know that Sakura knows magic, or is it just a coincidence?"

"No, there are no coincidences in this world, only inevitability." Xia Yu shook his head and said the words that a certain witch often said.

Akiho wouldn't come here for no reason, not to mention that she has the great magician Kaito as her follower.

Zhi Shi heard this and said worriedly: "Then should we do something? Or should we do nothing?"

"Do something..."

Xia Yu was in deep thought. At first, he wanted to persuade Qiu Sui to pay more attention to Kaidu and see if there was anything strange about his butler.

But now that we know that Akiho knows about magic, perhaps there is no need to beat around the bush anymore. Instead, we can directly tell Akiho about Sakura.

If Akiho knew what Kaito was planning to do, she could just tell him directly and not worry about what would happen next.

If she didn't know, she could ask Akiho to pay attention to it, or even have a face-to-face talk with Kaito.

It didn't matter if the talks failed. He just didn't believe that Kaito could be stronger than Sakura. Sakura's magic power was stronger than that of Clow Reed, but she just couldn't control it precisely yet.

As for Akiho herself, although they have not known each other for long, Akiho is indeed somewhat similar to Sakura. She is kind-hearted and a natural, and does not seem like someone who would harbor evil intentions.
