The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

Although she secretly ran away last night to seal the Clow Cards and witnessed mysterious magic, she still has to go to class as usual the next day.

Luckily, Sakura is still a primary school student, young and energetic, and can recover all her energy in one night.

If this were an adult, they'd probably be wearing a world-weary expression by now.

After all, adults have to work, and their free time is practically nonexistent. If they were as busy as Sakura, working from morning till night, it wouldn't take more than a few days before they'd want to destroy the world on their own, without even needing the Clow Cards.

This might be why there are no adult magical girls. After all, magical girls don't get paid or have holidays, and they work 24/7. Such unscrupulous work is enough to drive an adult crazy.

Yuzhi Elementary School, Class 2, Grade 4.

The morning sunlight streamed through the window, casting a golden veil over the clean floor. Within this veil, Xia Yu sat in the last row, eating his breakfast.

Because he gets up early in the morning, he arrives early as well, and he is the only one in the classroom now.

The quiet classroom, devoid of the students' noise and energy, did not feel lonely; instead, it exuded a sense of freshness and tranquility.

But this peace didn't last long. Suddenly, the classroom door, which had been tightly closed, was pulled open from the outside.

Sakura, who was on duty that day, stepped into the classroom and was about to cheer that she was the first to enter when she suddenly caught sight of a figure in the back row. Her words immediately changed.

Good morning, Xia.

Good morning, my dear friend.

Xia Yu leaned back on the stool, a small cake still stuck in his fork.

"Would you like some cake? A delicious sweet treat in the morning always lifts your spirits."

"No need, I've already had breakfast."

Sakura smiled and waved, then ran to her seat, put her bag down, and turned around to ask, "Xia-kun, you're here so early! Are you on duty too?"

"No and no."

Xia Yu swallowed the cake in his mouth, casually tossed the fork into the trash can not far behind him, then got up and walked to Xiaoying, taking out a playing card from his pocket.

"I came so early to wait for you. I don't need this Clow Card anymore, so I'm giving it to you."

"Huh? You're giving it to me?"

Sakura looked over in surprise. The card in Xia Yu's hand was the Flying Card that she had sealed away last night, but why was he suddenly giving it to her?

Before Sakura could even ask a question, her schoolbag suddenly opened automatically, and a small yellow creature rushed out.

"Clow Cards! Where are the Clow Cards? You dare challenge me to a duel!"

The suddenly appearing Kero shouted loudly and aggressively, but after carefully looking around, it realized that there were no new Clow Cards on the scene, only the Flying Cards that they had sealed yesterday.

Looking at the flying cards in Xia Yu's hand, Xiao Ke put her hands on her hips and sighed, "Why is it you again, you little brat? Did you come here just to show off in front of us?"

"No, Xiao Ke, Xia said he's going to give me this Clow Card."

Seeing that Xiao Ke seemed to have misunderstood something, Xiao Ying hurriedly explained, but after explaining, Xiao Ying suddenly realized what had happened.

"Wait! Xiao Ke, what are you doing here!"

"Oh, I just want to see what Cardcaptor Sakura's daily life is like."

Xiao Ke offered a shy explanation, but the next second, it stared at Xia Yu with a look of surprise.

"Wait, you're going to give us the Clow Card? Why? You're the one who captured this Clow Card, so you should be able to use it too."

"Of course I can use it. Who do you think I am? It's just that I don't need it anymore."

Xia Yu casually placed the flying card on Xiao Ying's table, chuckled, and suddenly a milky white light emanated from his body. The light then condensed behind Xia Yu and spread out and expanded on his back.

After the dazzling light dissipated into pure white feathers, a pair of holy and radiant wings appeared behind Xia Yu, like the wings of an angel from mythology. With a slight tremor, they stirred up an invisible storm.

Xia Yu gently flapped his wings, and his body floated off the ground. After hovering in mid-air, he smoothed his hair and laughed loudly, "How about it? Pretty cool, right!"

This is the flight ability he gained by analyzing the flying cards. Unfortunately, because it is only at the beginner level, he can only make himself grow wings and fly, but cannot make other things fly as well.

But that's enough, since Sakura gets the same effect when she uses the Clow Cards.

Besides, Sakura still needs a magic wand, while he doesn't even need one.

Seeing those pure white wings, Sakura couldn't help but reach out and touch them, and agreed with some amazement, "So beautiful, it suits Xia-kun very well."

"Hahahaha!"

Xiao Ke stared in astonishment at the pair of wings, then at Xia Yu's smug expression. She puffed out her cheeks and flew to Xia Yu's face, loudly demanding, "What did you do, kid? How can you fly without using the flying card?!"

"Mind your own business, because I'm a genius!" Xia Yu retorted defiantly.

Seeing this, Xiao Ke became even more dissatisfied and directly used her big head to press against Xia Yu's forehead. Xia Yu did not back down and began to exert force with his head. The two sides then engaged in a head-to-head struggle, neither willing to give in.

"Alright, alright, Xiao Ke."

Seeing Xia Yu and Xiao Ke arguing again, Xiao Ying reached out and pulled Xiao Ke apart, saying helplessly, "Xia Yu has already given us the Flying Cards, we should thank him."

"Also, Xiao Ke, why do you always like to argue with Xia?"

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke arrogantly tossed her head and did not reply.

Xia Yu flapped his wings, creating a gentle breeze that lifted the cards on the table and carried them to Xiao Ying. He said, "But I'm not giving them to you for free. In exchange, lend me Sister Wind for one night."

"Sister Feng?"

"It's the wind tile in your hand."

"Oh, so Sister Feng is Feng Pai."

Sakura nodded, recalling the image of the Wind Card. Calling her "Wind Sister" was indeed appropriate, as the Wind Card was indeed a gentle older sister.

Just then, the classroom door, which had been closed, was suddenly pulled open again.

"Good morning……"

At the doorway, Tomoyo walked in carrying a schoolbag. Just as she was about to greet the figure she caught sight of, her voice suddenly stopped.

Xia Yu, floating in the air with wings, Sakura holding a Clow Card, and Kero floating in the air...

This strange sight startled Tomoyo for a moment, but she quickly recovered and smiled slightly.

"Xia is flying? What cool wings!"

"Hehe, Tomoyo-kun, you have good taste." Although Tomoyo saw this scene, Xia Yu was not flustered at all. Rather, he deliberately let Tomoyo see it.

In the original story, Tomoyo learned of Sakura's identity as the Cardcaptor Sakura because she filmed Sakura's first flight. However, Natsumi took the Flying Card away beforehand last night, so Sakura did not try to fly the Card, and Tomoyo naturally failed to film the scene of Sakura flying.

However, as a member of the main group, and given that Tomoyo is Sakura's close friend, Tomoyo is bound to have some involvement with the Clow Cards.

Even though Xia Yu had almost forgotten the plot, he was certain that Tomoyo had helped Sakura a lot in the process of collecting the Clow Cards in the original story.

Since he had already interfered with the unexpected events in the plot, he chose to create an unexpected event himself, one that would allow Tomoyo to discover the secret.

However, the most important reason is that if Tomoyo didn't know Sakura's identity, Sakura would have fewer cute outfits. Without the clothes provided by Tomoyo, Cardcaptor Sakura would become just an ordinary Sakura!

This is why Tomoyo needs to know Sakura's true identity; the ever-changing Sakura, who wears a different outfit in every episode, is the real Sakura!

Of course, if the third student who walks in isn't Tomoyo, Xia Yu won't be in a hurry; he still has the trick "Forget Everything".

If I had the Clow Cards... this world would probably just be destroyed.

Chapter 13 I Understand What You Mean

"Tomoyo, this is..."

Upon discovering that Tomoyo had inadvertently discovered their secret, Sakura forced a smile and walked up to Tomoyo, still trying to cover it up as best she could.

But before she could even open her mouth, Xia Yu's voice rang out again.

"That's right, this is magic!"

Xia Yu spread his wings and came to Zhi Shi, hands on his hips, making no attempt to hide anything: "I was able to obtain this power last night thanks to Sakura. Sakura has indeed embarked on the path of exploring the mysterious world. She truly deserves to be called the Chosen One!"

"So, Tomoyo, are you also embarking on this path of no return to darkness? The hidden reality will eventually be shattered by us. Let's unveil the veil that conceals this magical world together! Hahahaha!"

Tomoyo: (⊙o⊙)

Sakura: (°ー°〃)

Sakura was completely numb. She looked at Xia Yu, on the verge of tears, and said, "Why did you tell me everything, Xia-kun...?"

Xia Yu folded his wings and looked at Xiao Ying with a puzzled expression: "I always speak my mind. When have I ever lied? As for my identity as a magician, I have never hidden it!"

But given your usual demeanor, no one has ever taken it seriously.

Sakura silently lamented to herself, "Should I just be like Natsume? If I just portray myself as a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), then even if I accidentally reveal something about magic, people will just think I'm having a chuunibyou fantasy."

Thinking about this, Sakura silently imagined herself with her hands on her hips, head held high, laughing heartily...

"No, no, absolutely not!"

If you really make her do that, it's better to just tell her about magic directly; that would be too shameful.

"What's wrong with that, Sakura?" Tomoyo leaned closer to Sakura and asked curiously.

"this and that……"

Sakura stammered, unsure how to explain. Should she say that she was thinking about how to be a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)?

"Oh, right, Sakura!"
