The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 494 Absolutely Not
"Just talk to Qiu Sui directly. If there is no problem, that's the best. If there is a problem, then discuss and solve it. Covering up and keeping it secret is the most annoying thing."

Xia Yu pondered for a moment and finally decided on a method. He didn't like the Riddler and didn't want to be a Riddler.

Just like the incident where Sakura couldn't control her own magic and thus created the cards unconsciously, both Syaoran and Elio chose to remain silent and act as riddlers, which was infuriating to watch.

Sakura was the one involved, but the two of them took it upon themselves to protect her and hide the truth from her, which made Sakura worried.

Although they also have their own reasons, which is that they are afraid that the situation will become worse after explaining.

But in Xia Yu's opinion, this kind of behavior of hiding things from you while saying it's for your own good is actually annoying.

No one likes to be kept in the dark and then be manipulated like a puppet. Even if the intention is good, the process is indeed unpleasant.

Besides, explaining the cause and effect clearly will not necessarily make the situation worse. Maybe it will even improve it.
After learning of Xia Yu's attitude, Zhi Shi hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Then let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow is Sunday, and we can use this opportunity to invite Qiu Sui to my house. Doesn't she want to see Xiao Ying's performance in a stage play? It just so happens that I have a video of it."

"And we can use this as an excuse to call Sakura, Meiling, and Li along. Then we can ask Akiho-san together. If there are any questions, we can help her together."

Xia Yu thought about Zhishi's suggestion for a moment, and after making sure there was no problem, he nodded.

"Okay, let's do this. We can also show her what happened at the shrine. This can explain the fact that Sakura knows magic, and also explain why we know that she knows magic."

"This……"

Zhi Shi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately remembered that Xia Yu had said before that he had taken a video. If that video was played on the screen...

“Can I use another video?”

Zhi Shi felt a little ashamed. She didn't mind Xia Yu knowing about her dark history of turning into an animal, but if she broadcasted it in front of other friends...

Just thinking about it makes my toes tense up!

"why?"

Xia Yu turned his head away in confusion: "If we don't use that video, then there's no way to explain how we knew Qiu Sui knew about magic."

"I can't just say to Akiho, 'You know there's magic in the world, right? Tell me why you transferred here. If you resist, I'll punish you severely. If you confess, I'll punish you leniently!'"

“…There’s no need to say that.”

Chishi covered her forehead and sighed. She never expected that she, who liked to film dark history, would one day have to show her own dark history to others.

But if you think about it from another perspective, everyone except Sakura turned into animals, even Akiho was no exception. This should be everyone's dark history, not just hers.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem unacceptable.

"I see. I'll go invite Sakura and the others later and agree to watch the video at my house tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll go call Li Xiaolang and explain it to him."

"Uh-huh."

The two of them continued to move towards Tsukimine Shrine while chatting about the details of tomorrow's plan.

As we walked, we saw more and more people walking on the street. Some people who were not afraid of the cold had already changed into yukata. Judging from the direction they were heading, most of them were going to attend the temple fair at Tsukimine Shrine.

As expected, there are more people visiting at night than during the day, and the atmosphere of the temple fair is more intense than during the day.

Not long after, Zhishi and Xia Yu arrived at the meeting place. At this moment, only Li Xiaolang was waiting there. Judging from his appearance, he had arrived here early.

Upon seeing this, Xia Yu smiled and came forward, nudging Li Xiaolang with his shoulder and raised his eyebrows.

"The one coming over later will be Sakura who has regained her original personality. Don't you think it's a pity?"

"Don't be such a jerk..."

Li Xiaolang, who had wanted to say hello, immediately widened his eyes and denied loudly when he heard this, but seemed afraid of being heard, so he quickly lowered his voice.

"Don't say weird things casually, what a pity!"

"Why did you suddenly lower your voice? Are you afraid of being heard?"

"No!"

Li Syaoran lowered his voice guiltily. He was indeed afraid of being heard, especially afraid that Sakura would suddenly appear when they were chatting.

Although he knew that Sakura had returned to her original personality, what happened during the day still left an indelible impression on him.

At least in the next few days, he might not be able to change his impression.

"Really? I don't believe it."

Xia Yu narrowed his eyes. Li Xiaolang looked sneaky. Even though he had a righteous face, he didn't look like he was thinking of anything good.

"Believe it or not."

Li Xiaolang snorted coldly, appearing quite tough. Seeing Li Xiaolang's attitude, Xia Yu was amazed and circled around him twice.

"Your attitude... is a bit floating. You have changed, Taoist Li. You are no longer the serious and solemn you."

"You've said this more than once."

Li Xiaolang rolled his eyes at Xia Yu. It is said that a red plum is redder when it is near a red plum, and a black plum is blacker when it is near a black plum. With someone like Xia Yu by his side, how could he not change?
"Forget it, let's not talk about that. Do you have anything to do tomorrow? I have something to talk to you about."

"what's up?"

Seeing Xia Yu's serious expression, Li Xiaolang also changed his expression. Jokes are jokes, but you still have to be serious when you need to.

"Regarding Akiho, Tomoyo discovered something today. Although Akiho doesn't know magic, she knows that magic exists."

"So she doesn't know nothing?" Li Xiaolang frowned slightly and immediately thought of the key point when he heard this.

He, Xia Yu and Elio had discussed this matter before, mainly about Kaito, and they also discussed Akiho in passing.

But since Akiho has no magical powers and cannot use magic, the three of them focused their attention on Kaito, and Elio was unable to find out anything about the surname Shinomoto.

Elio even did some divination at that time, but apart from learning that Akiho had no magic power and that she got along well with Sakura and that the two could become good friends, nothing else happened.

All phenomena indicate that Akiho knows nothing, and they also speculate that Akiho is just a cover used by Kaito to approach Sakura.

But now we suddenly know that Akiho actually knows the existence of magic, so the previous speculation becomes questionable.

"Have you told Hiiragi Ze?" Li Xiaolang looked at Xia Yu and asked.

Xia Yu shook his head and said, "Not yet. After all, Zhishi just remembered it. We just discussed it when we came here."

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Li Xiaolang tilted his head slightly and looked at Zhiye, who also explained: "When we were in the illusion space, I noticed that Qiu Sui didn't seem surprised at the existence of magic, but was surprised that Xiaoying knew magic."

"So you're assuming that Poetry knows about the existence of magic?"

"Yes."

After listening to Zhishi's explanation, Li Xiaolang nodded, looked at Xia Yu again and asked, "Do you want me and Hiiragi Ze to have another video chat tomorrow?"

"No."

Xia Yu shook his head and said, "Discussion and speculation can only get us closer to the truth, but we cannot know the truth. I want to ask Qiu Sui in person tomorrow. Since she knows about the existence of magic, does she have any other purpose for coming here to study, just like you and Elio did before."

"You are still the same..." Li Xiaolang complained subconsciously, but when he understood what Xia Yu had just said, he was a little surprised.

"Is it really possible to say it so bluntly?"

"I think I can be about 70% sure. After all, Akiho looks silly and stupid, just like Sakura. She doesn't seem like the kind of person who would lie."

At this point, Xia Yu suddenly narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth: "If she hides it and doesn't tell me, then I have other ways. It depends on whether she can accept it, hehehe..."

Snapped!
Xia Yu just laughed twice when Zhishi beside him suddenly stretched out his hands and patted his face, then reluctantly wiped back his smile.

"Xia Jun, don't laugh like that anymore. It makes you look bad..."

"Ahem, I got it."

Xia Yu pulled Zhishi's hands off his face, looked at Li Xiaolang who was speechless, and continued: "How about it? Do you want to interrogate him together tomorrow?"

"Don't use that term, it feels weird."

Li Xiaolang complained speechlessly, and after a few seconds of silence, he nodded and said, "Okay, since you are sure, then I will go to your house tomorrow?"

"No, let's go to Zhishi Family. I'll tell you the specific situation and time on my phone after the temple fair is over. How about that?"

Li Xiaolang nodded, turned to look at Zhishi beside him and said, "Sorry to bother you then."

"It's okay. After all, it's all for Sakura."

Hearing this, Li Xiaolang pursed his lips, suddenly walked in front of Xia Yu and Zhishi, and then bowed slightly with a very serious expression.

"Thank you for helping Sakura so tirelessly. I sincerely thank Sakura for having good friends like you by her side."

Zhishi and Xia Yu were stunned for a moment when they were suddenly thanked so earnestly by Li Xiaolang, and then they started laughing subconsciously.

"Sakura is my good friend, and I like Sakura very much. Helping her was just my own idea. You don't have to thank me like this."

"Tsk tsk, Master Li, if you really want to thank me, why don't you change into women's clothes so I can take a group of photos?"

"What!?"

Li Xiaolang, who was originally expressing his gratitude sincerely, immediately stepped back upon hearing this and stared at Xia Yu vigilantly.

"What do you want to do? You still have this kind of hobby!?"

When Zhishi, who was originally smiling, heard this, his expression froze and he looked at Xia Yu with a complicated look.

"Xia Jun, it turns out that you..."

Xia Yu, who was being stared at by the two with rather strange eyes, froze his smiling face, and a "" slowly appeared on his forehead.

Boom!
Bang!
He silently raised his hand and hit Chishi on the head at a very fast speed, then took another step forward and punched Li Xiaolang on the head.

"it hurts!"

"hiss……"

Tomoyo covered his forehead with both hands, while Li Syaoran took a deep breath and felt like there must be a bump on his head.

"This is the result of you arbitrarily editing my story. What do you mean by this hobby? I just want to collect some precious photos, isn't that okay?"

Isn't this a perversion...

Li Xiaolang silently criticized Xia Yu in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud. He was sure that if he said it out loud, he would be in even more trouble.

Also, this guy is getting more and more violent.

Tsk, how about secretly asking Sakura to reverse this guy's personality? After all, in his previous memory of reversal, this guy was like a normal person after his personality was reversed, at least much more normal than now.

"Good evening--!"

Suddenly, a familiar greeting came from a distance. Hearing the voice, the three of them turned their heads at the same time and saw that not far away, Li Meiling was running towards them with Xiaoying, full of energy.

Sakura was being pulled with her head down, completely losing her domineering look from the daytime. Instead, she looked weak and a little shy.

Especially when she occasionally looked up and noticed Li Xiaolang was also behind her, she blushed slightly and lowered her head.

"Huh? You're the only ones here. It seems we're here quite early."

After Li Meiling came in front of the three people, she noticed that only Xia Yu and a few others were waiting there, and the others had not arrived yet. She immediately laughed out loud in a careless manner.

At this moment, Sakura, who had come to the front of the group, also raised her head slightly and greeted them awkwardly, "Um, good evening."

"Um... good evening."

Li Xiaolang also blushed a little and replied with his head lowered.

Seeing Li Syaoran's slightly blushing face, Sakura felt even more embarrassed. Her memory was telling her every moment what she had done during the day.

Why did she become like that after such a personality reversal? It's so embarrassing!!

Whether it was trying to be cool in front of the little wolf or saying those words to the little wolf, now thinking about it, it was simply extremely embarrassing.

As soon as her personality was restored this afternoon, she immediately realized how embarrassing the things she did when her personality reversed were, and she has been embarrassed until now.

Noticing that Sakura was shy and dared not look him in the face, Li Syaoran immediately guessed why Sakura was like that and also felt embarrassed.

Looking at the two shy people, Xia Yu, who was quick-witted, thought quickly and immediately understood what they were thinking. He curled the corners of his mouth and leaned over to Xiaoying and laughed.

"Sakura, if you feel embarrassed, I can actually go to great lengths to reverse your personality once again."

As for who said before that he would no longer reverse other people’s personalities…it wasn’t him who said that anyway.

Sakura, who was still embarrassed, immediately raised her head and shouted loudly, "Absolutely not!"

She is already shy enough now. If she changes her personality and does something else, she might not be able to sleep tonight.

"What don't you want?"

While they were chatting, Qianchun and his friends suddenly appeared and came over to ask curiously.

Being asked this question suddenly, Sakura opened her mouth hesitantly, but she still lowered her head, her face flushed and she couldn't speak.

Xia Yu wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Li Xiaolang said first: "Nothing! Well... since everyone is here, let's go!"

"Yes, that's right!" Sakura nodded her head quickly, fearing that someone who never considered others would reveal something embarrassing.

Seeing this, Qianchun and the others became even more curious. Could it be that something interesting happened before they came?

Unfortunately, both Sakura and Li Syaoran looked like they didn't want to say more. Xia Yu wanted to say something, but under the threat of Li Syaoran's fearless gaze, he could only pout and keep silent.

Forget it, just give in to this kid this time, he is not a bad person.

　I feel like this book is always on the verge of ending, because if Qiu Sui knows the truth, then the housekeeper must know it, after all, the housekeeper is watching Qiu Sui all the time. And if the housekeeper finds out that the plan has changed, or Qiu Sui knows the truth, time will definitely stop or go back. But once time changes, Xia Yu will know, and once Xia Yu knows, he will definitely guess the housekeeper. He will not be a riddle man like Li Xiaolang who silently guards, but will only go to confront the housekeeper. In the end, all the information will be made public, and the main line can be completed at a fairly fast speed.

　　The original comic is just trying to create an information gap and a riddle, but if all the truth is revealed, then we can basically get to the end of the main storyline in one step...
