The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 585 The Smell of the Clow Cards!?
"So what the prophetic dream wanted to tell me was about the contract with Snow Rabbit brother."

Looking at Tsukishiro Yukito's departing back, Sakura took out the two transparent cards she had just obtained, which were the Promise Card and the Choice Card. The elves on the cards were also derived from the Snow Rabbit and the Moon.

Looking at the two transparent cards, Sakura pressed them against her chest and murmured, "The cards I've gotten recently are all these gentle cards."

"Signing a contract requires a price. Magic as powerful as that... the price must be high."

Li Xiaolang suddenly spoke, his voice a little dull: "Although he didn't say it, since he wants to keep it a secret from you, it means that the price of signing the contract is definitely not low."

"Price... Tsk, this word is not simple."

Xia Yu smacked his lips. Li Syaoran's words suddenly reminded him of the work "April 1st Paranormal Activity Book", which was also created by CLAMP, the creative group of Cardcaptor Sakura.

The opening plot of this work is based on contracts and prices, but the ending is not very good, full of helplessness and regret.

Of course, there is also a little hope in the regret, just like a small flame burning in the darkness.

But isn't Cardcaptor Sakura a beautiful fairytale world? Why does the word "price" appear? It seems to be slightly different from the gentle tone of the world. How come someone suddenly dug a hole?
On the other side, Sakura listened to what the two said, and the corners of her mouth, which were originally gently raised, gradually relaxed. She put away the two transparent cards and looked at the cherry tree beside her in silence.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiaolang immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said in a panic: "Well, that, Xiaoying, I was just guessing just now. Maybe it's not a serious price. You don't have to worry so much..."

"I know."

Listening to Li Syaoran's panicked words, Sakura interrupted him with a smile, turned around and smiled helplessly.

"I'm not worried about Brother Xuetu, because this is his choice. I believe that the price that Brother Xuetu paid must have been the price he paid after careful consideration."

Seeing that Sakura's words didn't seem to be comforting him but were truly what she meant from the bottom of her heart, Li Syaoran finally breathed a sigh of relief and said a little embarrassedly.

"Sorry, Sakura, I overreacted."

"It's okay, Xiaolang, you're worried about me too. I know that."

After saying that, Sakura suddenly walked towards the cherry tree, stood in front of it, then placed her hand on the rough surface of the tree and looked up at the lush crown of the tree.

After a few seconds of pause, she turned her head to look at Li Xiaolang beside her and said with a smile: "Xiaolang, do you still remember when we were in the fourth grade, sitting on the tree canopy and chatting together?"

"This one……"

Li Xiaolang, who was walking over, was stunned. He turned his head away embarrassedly, as if he found it difficult to speak.

Of course he remembered that at that time he had not yet fallen in love with Sakura, and Sakura had not yet fallen in love with him. They both liked Yukito because of the magical attraction.

They were still rivals in love at the time, and they had a nighttime conversation under the crown of the cherry tree about their love for snow rabbits.

Now when I think back on it, I feel a little embarrassed. After all, they certainly couldn't have imagined at that time that in the end, neither of them would be with Yukito, but would end up with each other.

Seeing Li Syaoran's embarrassed expression, Sakura covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at the cherry tree in front of her with a little nostalgia, which had not changed at all compared to a few years ago.

At that time, both she and the little wolf were still very young children.

"So what did you talk about? Why do you look so embarrassed?" Xia Yu suddenly stepped forward and hooked his arms around Li Xiaolang's neck, asking him curiously.

He also knew about the incident in which Syaoran and Sakura captured the Kabuto at Tsukimine Shrine at night, because Sakura told him and Tomoyo about it the next day.

But Sakura obviously wouldn't specifically mention anything about the night talk, so he actually didn't know what the two talked about at Tsukimine Shrine at night.

Now that Sakura suddenly brought up this matter, Li Syaoran had a strange expression on his face. If he guessed correctly, something interesting must have happened during that night talk.

Online Curious.

Facing Xia Yu's curious gaze, Li Xiaolang tutted and turned his head away: "Don't ask me, I have forgotten it."

"Hey - you're not being honest."

Xia Yu tightened his arms slightly and pressed, "Xiaoying can say it openly, but you can't. Was that conversation very embarrassing for you?"

Li Xiaolang didn't want to answer. Anyway, he couldn't bring up the topic of that night conversation.

"Xiaoying, what did you talk about with classmate Li?" Xia Yu was curious, and Zhishi was also curious, so when Xia Yu asked Li Syaoran, she also found Xiaoying.

Hearing Tomoyo's question, Sakura, who had originally focused her gaze on the cherry tree, retracted her gaze and said embarrassedly, "It's about Yukito-san."

"Tomoyo, you know that I still liked Xuetu-nii-san at that time, and so did Xiaolang, so we had a heart-to-heart talk that night..."

Chishi blinked, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, and said in a smiling tone: "I think you two at that time definitely couldn't have imagined that you would become lovers now."

Sakura lowered her head in embarrassment. Yes, at that time they certainly couldn't have imagined that they would start dating now.

If she and Xiaolang at that time saw her and Xiaolang now, they would definitely look very surprised, even unbelievable.

When I think about it, I really want to see my childhood self.

Just as Sakura was thinking this, the cherry tree that she had been holding down suddenly lit up with magical light without any warning.

The bright light illuminated the surroundings, including the four surprised little faces.

Sakura and the others looked at the cherry tree in surprise as it suddenly began to move strangely. Before they could react, a black hole suddenly appeared at the position of the tree where Sakura had been pressing.

The moment the black hole appeared, it immediately expanded and spread, directly covering the four people at the scene. They were caught off guard and were thus sucked into the black hole.

Then the black hole slowly shrank and disappeared on the surface of the cherry tree. The cherry tree, which had been emitting a faint magical glow, also fell silent again.

Except for the four people who disappeared from the scene, everything was normal, as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, in another world.

"Um...what happened?"

Feeling a little dizzy, Sakura pressed her head to rest for a few seconds, then rubbed her eyes and looked around.

The shrine was still the same shrine, and everything was normal, as if what had just happened was an illusion and they had not left Yuefeng Shrine.

"Xiaoying, what just happened?"

At this time, Tomoyo also came back to her senses. She turned her head to look at the shrine which had not changed much, and looked at Sakura with a slightly frown.

"I don't know either, but we don't seem to have left Tsukimine Shrine." Sakura shook her head slightly.

"Are you guys okay?"

Xia Yu and Li Xiaolang also came to their senses and gradually woke up. Li Xiaolang walked towards Xiaoying and asked questions. Xia Yu frowned deeply. He looked around and felt that something had changed. However, whether it was the flowing wind or the heavy earth, it showed that the reality in front of him was not an illusion or a different space.

However, even so, there is always a sense of disharmony in my heart.

"We're fine."

Xiaoying shook her head slightly at Li Xiaolang who was approaching, then looked at Xia Yu who was looking around and asked, "Xia, did you find anything?"

"Not yet, but there is definitely something wrong here. It is definitely not the shrine we were in at the beginning." Xia Yu shook his head slightly and explained.

Upon hearing this, the others also began to look around, but no matter how hard they looked, they still didn't find anything suspicious.

Suddenly, a strange wave of magic came. Sakura and Li Xiaolang were subconsciously startled when they felt the wave of magic. This familiar magic...

The smell of Clow Cards!?
"Little Wolf, what is this!?"

"Yes, this smell is..."

Sakura and Li Syaoran looked at each other and instantly confirmed their guess from each other's reactions. This was indeed the smell of the Clow Cards.

"What's wrong? What did you sense?" Xia Yu saw the instant change in Xiaoying and Li Syaoran's expressions and quickly asked.

"It's the smell of the Clow Cards, just outside the shrine." Sakura replied.

"Clow Cards!?" x2
Xia Yu and Zhi Shi opened their mouths in surprise at the same time. It was a long-lost name, but how could there be Clow Cards? Didn't the Clow Cards become Sakura Cards?

"Let's go out and take a look first. The magic of the Clow Cards is outside the shrine." Li Syaoran suggested.

"it is good!"

No one else had any objection to this suggestion. They immediately gave up looking for useless clues here and turned to run towards the location where the magic power of the Clow Cards came from.

Soon, the four of them ran outside the shrine.

Led by Sakura, after turning left and right, they arrived at the location where the magic power of the Clow Cards came from.

I saw on the road in the distance, there were waves of shock waves coming one after another as if from an earthquake. The waves caused the ground to rise and fall, leaving behind gullies.

Looking at the ravaged ground, Xia Yu had a rather strange expression on his face. He felt a familiar power here. This was a Clow Card that he had already analyzed.

"What should I do? It turns out that the Clow Cards are causing trouble, but I no longer have a magic wand that can seal the Clow Cards!"

Sakura anxiously looked at the Clow Cards causing damage in front of her, and couldn't help but clench her crystal key in her hand.

Her bird-head wand had already turned into a star wand during the Moon Judgment, but she didn't have the star wand with her at the moment. The only thing she carried with her was the dream wand.

The Dream Wand can only seal the transparent cards created by her magic, and it has no effect on the Clow Cards of the past.

"The Clow Cards... Damn it, I can't seal them."

Li Syaoran gritted his teeth helplessly. Although his sword could use the magic of the Clow Cards, the sealing could only be done by the Clow Card Master.

This is the contract Sakura signed with the Grimoire Crawler, and no one else can interfere.

But at the moment Sakura didn't have the key to seal the Clow Cards, so even if she signed the contract, she couldn't seal it out of thin air.

"Or... I'll go and try?" Xia Yu suddenly took a step and walked towards the location where the shock wave came from.

"Eh? Classmate Xia, do you have a solution?" Sakura was surprised.

"Just try it. It doesn't matter even if we fail." Xia Yu waved his hand with his back to the three people.

He had already used the system to analyze all the Clow Cards, so he could control the Clow Cards himself. However, because the owner of the Clow Cards was Sakura, he did not do anything that interfered with her business.

But now the Clow Card that had been captured long ago was suddenly unsealed, and Sakura was unable to seal it, so he didn't have any psychological burden.

On the road surface, waves of shock were still surging underground, shaking the ground as if an earthquake had occurred and destroying the highway beyond recognition.

Seeing this, Xia Yu, who had arrived at the source of the chaos in the Clow Cards, raised his foot and stomped down heavily. In an instant, the shock wave stopped.

The next second, a milky white wave like an ocean wave was stepped out from the ground and rushed straight into the sky, leaving ripples visible to the naked eye in the space it passed through.

Without waiting for the ripples to spread, Xia Yu clapped his hands lightly, and the ripples instantly began to compress inward as if imprisoned by an invisible space.

In just a few seconds, the ripples from the milky white waves were compressed back into the body. Xia Yu raised his hand, and the restless waves seemed to be controlled and flowed down obediently.

When the waves flowed in front of Xia Yu, he compressed and closed the waves with his hands. The waves became smaller and flatter until his hands were completely closed. The waves disappeared and were replaced by a card.

The artistic Chinese character "波" is written at the top of the card, and the English word "THE WAVE" is written at the bottom. The image in the center is a milky white wave that flows from the upper right corner to the lower left corner like an ocean wave.

"Bo card...it really is this card."

Xia Yu looked at the wave card in his hand with a strange expression. Didn't Xiaoying capture this card in the last semester of the fourth grade of elementary school? Why did it appear again now?

Before he could take the wave cards to ask Sakura, a very Sakura-style exclamation suddenly came from another direction.

“Ugh—!!”

Hearing Sakura's voice, Xia Yu subconsciously looked up and saw Sakura in a cute battle uniform, Li Syaoran in a green Taoist robe, and Tomoyo holding a camera running towards them not far away.

There was also a yellow rag doll flying next to the three of them. It was Xiao Ke, who also had a look of surprise on his face.

Xia Yu: “???”

Xia Yu's mind was temporarily frozen. No, when did you change your clothes? And why do you look younger?
Looking at Xia Yu who was stunned for a moment, Sakura, who was holding a bird-head magic wand and wearing a cute battle uniform, was also a little uneasy, especially when she saw the Clow Card in Xia Yu's hand, she felt even more uneasy.

"Xiao Ke, is that the Clow Card that caused trouble just now? But how come it suddenly turned back into a card and was held in the hands of another strange brother?"

"Ahh, I saw it..."

Xiao Ke, who was floating beside the three people, was equally confused, and even a little wary: "Be careful, that person must be someone special. Judging from the situation at the scene... he must be the one who turned the Clow Cards that just caused trouble back into cards!"

"Eh——So other people can also turn the Clow Cards back into cards?"

"No, this is something that only Magician Kuro can do..."

Xiao Ke replied in a deep voice, and quickly reminded: "That's why you have to be more careful. We don't know whether that person is an enemy or a friend."
