The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 537: With the Most Important Person in My Life

"Do something?"

At Xia Yu's shocking question, Qiu Sui trembled and subconsciously fell into thought.

Yes, why did Mr. Kaito want to change her life? Wasn’t it because her destiny was not under her own control, but was firmly in the hands of her family?
The family that controls her fate is obviously not a good one. After all, based on her own experience, it is easy to see the nature of her family.

She has no father or mother, and has no magic power at all. She was treated with indifference and neglect by her family when she was young.

It was even made into a magic tool afterwards. Although this was also related to Kaito's comment, the root cause was still a family issue.

And what should we do if a child without magic powers is born in a problematic family?
Even though it is rare for a magician to give birth to a child without magic powers, it is still possible, because whether or not a child has magic powers depends entirely on innate factors and cannot be acquired.

No one can predict whether the child they give birth to will have magic powers. After all, even the child born from the union of two people with the strongest magic powers will be an ordinary person without magic powers.

Thoughts kept colliding in her mind, Qiusui clenched her hands, and she had made up her mind.

She looked up at Kaito beside her and said seriously, "Mr. Kaito, what Xia said is right. What if a child without magic power appears in the family again? Maybe that will be the next me."

"I can't just ignore this. I still have you, Mr. Kaito, to accompany me in my childhood, but what about the next me? What if he doesn't meet his Mr. Kaito?"

"Although I don't understand anything about the wizarding world, my family's approach is definitely not right. I want to change my family's misconceptions!"

Kaito remained silent after hearing Qiu Sui's righteous words. After a long while, he nodded and said, "I will support the future you choose, Miss Qiu Sui. No matter which path you want to take in the future, I will go with you."

"Thank you!"

After hearing what Kaito said, Akiho smiled, and Kaito subconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth.

"well said!"

Xia Yu clapped his hands and asked, "What about the Magic Association? Now that the magic item is in my hands, will the association come to trouble me again?"

"will not!"

As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, Hai Du shook his head and said, "I will reform the Magic Association, both for your stability and for those like me..."

Having said that, Kaidu subconsciously looked up at Liliai beside him. Noticing Kaidu's gaze, Liliai smiled gently back at him, which made Kaidu's heart tremble, and his thoughts instantly returned to the past.

His childhood was also lonely. His parents abandoned him when he was young, and since he could remember, he had no one close to him.

However, due to his enormous magical power, he was found by the Magic Association not long after being alone, and then he joined the Magic Association.

But that did not bring him any comfort, because due to his own talent, he could learn other magicians' magic at a glance, which also caused other magicians to be in awe of him and dare not approach him, thus isolating him.

He didn't care much at that time, because in his opinion, interpersonal communication was also extremely troublesome, and it was better to be alone.

Until he met Liliai, whose unyielding enthusiasm opened his closed heart and made him realize the beauty of the world.

Before today, he had never thought of reforming the Magic Association, but Qiu Sui's words just now gave him an epiphany.

What should we do if the Magic Association finds another child like him who is alone and has great magical powers in the future?
Akiho was determined to change her family. As the strongest magician in the Magic Association, would he really just stand by and watch an association with the same problems?

Facing Liliae's smile, Kaito had another ambition in his heart besides helping Akiho. He wanted to follow in Liliae's footsteps and help children like him.

Because he had been caught in the rain and had others hold an umbrella for him, he also wanted to hold an umbrella for those children.

At least don't be like his childhood, when he didn't know how to love or the beauty of the world.

"It seems that you have already realized and know what you are going to do in the future." Seeing that Kaito and Akiho had wiped away the confusion on their faces, Xia Yu raised the corners of his mouth and said with a chuckle.

"Well, thank you, Xia-san!"

"Thank you for your advice."

Hearing this, Qiu Sui and Kaito expressed their sincere gratitude, while Xia Yu waved his hand. He just wanted to dispel the confusion of the two people and did nothing else.

Seeing this, Sakura on the other side also smiled and said to Qiu Sui: "Qiu Sui, if you need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask for help."

"Well, thank you too, Sakura-san."

"So what are you going to do, Akiho?"

"I want to return to my family first, then look for members of my family who share the same ideas as me, and then gather all my strength to change the family."

"That sounds so tiring. I have a good idea. Do you want to listen to it?" Xia Yu suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

"What's the idea?" Sakura asked curiously.

"Ahem, my thoughts can be expressed in one line of poetry."

Xia Yu coughed twice and recited directly: "Heaven created all things to nourish the people, but the people have no good deeds to repay Heaven. I don't know that locusts are everywhere in the world, and the people and the king's ministers are suffering..."

The poem was very long. After Xia Yu finished reading this murderous poem, the few people who could understand Chinese fell into silence.

The rest of the people who didn't understand Chinese at all blinked their eyes. They just thought that the poem had a sense of rhythm and sounded like it had many homophones.

"Um, Xia, can you explain it to us in Japanese? I don't quite understand."

Sakura asked stupidly. Although she had thought about learning Chinese before, the tones alone made her dizzy, so she gave up outright.

Now when she heard Xia Yu reciting poetry, she felt a little regretful. If she had not given up, perhaps she would have understood it.

Well, she will definitely study when she goes to high school, but forget about junior high school. After all, English is already difficult for her to learn, and if she adds a foreign language to it, she will definitely be exhausted.

But before Xia Yu could explain, Zhi Shi had already coughed and said, "Ahem, Xiaoying, you don't have to understand this poem. I think we can completely ignore Xia Jun's suggestion."

She had never heard of this poem, but she could guess a little about its literal meaning based on the poem. Well, it would be better not to try to understand it.

Li Xiaolang also nodded in agreement: "Let's just ignore this suggestion, and..."

Li Xiaolang turned his head to look at Xia Yu, and said in a complicated tone: "You... are actually quite scary sometimes."

"Is this scary? This is clearly the simplest method." Xia Yu curled his lips and replied.

"Yes, yes, it's so simple that once your method is completed, no one will oppose you anymore."

Li Xiaolang rolled his eyes at Xia Yu, but Xiaoying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly asked, "Isn't it good that no one objects? Why ignore it?"

Since everyone is dead, naturally no one will object.

Li Xiaolang answered in his mind and said, "Because this method will cause a lot of bloodshed and the sacrifice will be huge, so let's just ignore it."

"Is that so? Then forget it." Sakura immediately shook her head when she heard that.

Qiu Sui paused, looked at Xia Yu and said, "Um, Xia, although I didn't understand your poem, if possible, I would like to change the family in a way that minimizes sacrifice."

"Although my family wasn't kind to me, they raised me to where I am today. They are my family after all. It's just that some of their views are wrong and need to be corrected."

"Okay, okay, I'm just talking."

Seeing Qiu Sui said so, Xia Yu said no more. Although the poem just now was indeed the simplest and most efficient method, it was indeed a bit bloody and was not suitable for this world.

Hmm...probably.

Seeing this, Qiu Sui exhaled and pressed her chest, then looked at the people in front of her and said, "Thank you all for helping me, but that family is my family after all. If I want to change it, I would rather use my own power to change it."

At this point, she looked at Kaito beside her: "With the most important person to me."

Kaito was moved by Akiho's gaze. He moved his lips and nodded heavily, saying, "Together!"

Liliae looked at the scene in front of her with a smile in her eyes. She couldn't help but walk forward and hugged Qiu Sui in her arms, stroking her cheek and speaking softly.

"Akiho, you have really grown up."

"Mom..." "I'm sorry, mom can't do anything to help you. I can only watch over you silently in heaven and pray for you."

Hearing this, Qiu Sui shook her head and said, "That's not true. I'm already very happy that I can actually meet my mother once."

Hearing this, Liliae held her arms tighter. After a long moment, she raised her head and looked at Kaidu, and also reached out to touch Kaidu's cheek.

"Kaito, you've changed a lot too."

"Yeah, after all, I'm tall enough to change the light bulb now."

Hearing this, Liliae was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that Kaidu was making fun of the conversation they had when they first met, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

After laughing, she pursed her lips and said, "I would like to ask you to take good care of Qiu Sui, because her father and I cannot accompany her, so we can only rely on you in this world."

"I……"

Kaito lowered his eyes, but still forced a smile and said, "I will definitely take care of Miss Akiho before my life comes to an end, so don't worry."

"Life has reached its end..."

Liliai pursed her lips and suddenly remembered something she had accidentally forgotten, which was that Kaito's life span had been shortened by the time magic and he was about to die.

Akiho, who was originally listening to the two people's conversation with a smile, suddenly realized that Kaito's life was coming to an end.

"Mr. Kaito..."

"Tsk, isn't it because of life span? I told you I have a solution."

Seeing the originally warm scene suddenly sliding towards a sad scene, Xia Yu quickly spoke up to stop the sad scene of crying from happening before his eyes.

"For me, there are countless ways to achieve immortality and increase lifespan. Whether you want to extend your lifespan or make up for lost lifespan, I can do it!"

After pretending, Xia Yu raised his hand, took out a glass bottle filled with golden liquid, and threw it towards Hai Du.

"Drink this, and all the life you've consumed will be replenished. It might even extend your life."

Haidu quickly reached out to catch it, his mind confused. He couldn't tell the origin of this potion, but he also knew that the man in front of him didn't need to lie to him.

If the effect of this potion is really as effective as the person opposite said, once the Magic Association knows about it, they will definitely do whatever it takes to learn the method of making the potion.

Because this potion represents the ability to use time-related magic at will without having to worry about the side effects of shortening one's lifespan.

This is definitely a potion that can drive all magicians in the world crazy, but this potion of extraordinary significance was casually thrown at him by the person opposite.

This complete trust made Kaito confused and a little panicked. He couldn't understand the purpose of the man in front of him and why he wanted to help him and Akiho in this way.

If he helped Qiu Sui in order to obtain the magic item "Book", it could be barely justified, but why did he help him restore his lifespan? This was something he could not understand at all.

What good would it be to help him regain his lifespan? To gain his loyalty? But before that, he had already said that he would not refuse no matter what the other party wanted him to do.

Haidu was completely unable to understand the logic behind Xia Yu's behavior. His brain went blank and he just stood there, holding the potion tightly in his hand.

Seeing Haidu motionless, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows and reminded him, "Are you still not drinking? If you squeeze harder, you'll break the glass bottle in your hand."

Hearing this, Haidu was startled and quickly loosened his hand. He looked down at the glass bottle in his hand that was rippling with golden liquid and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Why are you helping me like this?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Why are you helping me restore my lifespan? It's obviously not going to do you any good."

"You said this...Is this a good reason?"

Xia Yu smacked his lips. There was no reason for this. He just didn't like tragedy. It would be fine if it was a tragedy he couldn't see, but now that it was happening right before his eyes, he naturally wouldn't pretend he didn't see it.

Besides, it is not expensive. He exchanged it with the change he got from the battle with the black dragon. After all, it only restores the consumed lifespan, not directly increases it.

If it meant increasing his lifespan by a thousand or hundreds of years, he might still have some hesitation, but this was just restoring the consumed lifespan, and the value was completely different.

But obviously, this reason is not acceptable to Kaidu.

Kaito, who was unaware of the situation, looked up and replied seriously: "This is a huge help. If there is nothing I need to pay for it, I can't accept it."

When these words were spoken, Qiu Sui was immediately shocked, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say anything.

Because from Kaidu's attitude, she could clearly feel that this help was too great, so great that it could not be obtained without any effort.

So she said nothing and just waited quietly for the negotiation between Haidu and Xia Yu to end.

Hearing Haidu's words, Xia Yu was a little embarrassed: "What do I need help with? I don't need anything, can't you just accept it calmly?"

"No."

"..."

Xia Yu was speechless. He leaned on the sofa with a headache and planned to find a random excuse to get rid of Hai Du.

Glancing at Li Xiaolang from the corner of his eye, Xia Yu suddenly had an idea. He quickly sat up and said, "I got it. How about this? I want you to teach Li Xiaolang the magic of time with all your heart and soul."

"Eh!?"

After hearing this, Li Xiaolang looked surprised. He never expected that he would have anything to do with this.

Xia Yu raised his hand to stop Li Xiaolang from speaking, staring at Haidu and asked, "How about it? Are you willing?"

Kaito shook his head and said, "It's not enough. If it's just this request, I still can't accept it."

"...Tsk."

Xia Yu sighed, and after a moment's silence, he said again: "Then how about this, I want you to give me a copy of all the magic books collected by the Magic Association and the Qiu Sui family. No matter how precious they are, you must obtain and copy them. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Haidu still felt that the price was too simple and it was just helping him in vain, but having just seen Xia Yu pondering, he nodded.

"Okay, if there's anything else you need me to do in the future, please let me know."

"Alright, alright, drink it quickly."

Xia Yu urged him twice, and Hai Du no longer hesitated. He reached out, pulled out the stopper of the glass bottle, and drank the golden liquid inside.

In an instant, tremendous vitality burst out from Haidu's body, nourishing his almost dried up body and replenishing bit by bit his life span that had been consumed by excessive use of time magic.

His originally extremely pale face gradually became rosy, and it was obvious that his body was gradually recovering to the state it should be at his age.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Xiaolang looked at Xia Yu with mixed feelings and couldn't help asking, "Why do I want him to teach me time magic?"

"Because I feel like you have a affinity with time magic."

Xia Yu collapsed on the sofa and replied, "You conquered the Clow Cards at the beginning, and you conquered the Clow Cards as well. Both of these cards are related to time."

"And I asked the time elf, and it also said that it is very compatible with you, which means that you are suitable for practicing time magic, so I will let Kaito, who is also familiar with time magic, teach you."

After hearing what Xia Yu said, Li Xiaolang shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about this. I want to ask you, why do you want to help me?"

"You two are never done with this, right?"

Xia Yu couldn't help but rolled his eyes and groaned, "I've already said I'm willing, isn't this a good enough reason? Humph!"

"..."

Li Xiaolang really wanted to say no, but seeing Xia Yu's expression, he knew that he would not be able to get an answer.

He could only sigh deeply and press his forehead in annoyance. How should he repay this? How about finding some time to ask Da Dao Temple?
