The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

Such a socially awkward remark startled the woman who was smiling slightly, as if she hadn't expected the little boy walking towards her to be so bold, as if he didn't know what shyness was at all.

After a second or two of stunned silence, the woman came to her senses, smiled, walked up to Xia Yu, bent down, and reached out to pat Xia Yu's head.

"Thank you for the compliment, little one."

After saying that, the woman just looked at Xia Yu. Just as Xia Yu was wondering what was going on, the woman said again, "Just as he said, he's a very interesting child."

"he?"

Xia Yu raised an eyebrow in confusion. Who was "he"? And was this interesting child referring to him?

The woman didn't explain to Xia Yu's question; she simply smiled, stood up, and nodded to him.

"Goodbye."

After saying that, the woman left without looking back.

As Xia Yu watched the woman's departing figure, his doubts deepened. Who exactly was this woman? Could she be a character from the story?

An adult female character in the story... Could it be the female teacher who appears later in the story? What's her name again?

"Tsk, I can't remember."

Xia Yu clicked his tongue and shook his head helplessly. He only remembered that the female teacher was related to the moon, but he couldn't remember her name.

Forget it, if it really is that female teacher, then he should be able to see her again at school in a few days. There's no point in thinking about it now.

After all, even if he had thought of it, it would only be a guess and wouldn't have any impact on the current situation.

However, if the person just now was indeed the female teacher related to the moon later on, then the "he" she mentioned should, if I'm not mistaken, be that treacherous four-eyed guy.

The cunning bespectacled guy is Clow Reed, and the cunning four-eyed guy is one of Clow Reed's reincarnations, whose name is Eriol. He forgot his last name and only remembered the name Eriol.

"I knew he knew."

Xia Yu took a bite of ice cream and suddenly thought of a nesting doll analogy.

I know he knows I know he knows. It's a bit of a mouthful, but the current situation really fits this meme.

He knows that Eriol knows he knows Eriol, and Eriol also knows that he knows Eriol knows him, so the current situation is that they both know each other, but they have never even met.

"Fine, since you know I still won't care, then let things be as they are."

After thinking for a moment, Xia Yu stopped pondering. Since he hadn't even collected all the Clow Cards yet, he decided not to think too far ahead for the time being.

Chapter 158 Mirror Plate

"So, you captured the Clow Cards yesterday afternoon?"

The next day, school.

Lunch break, on the lawn.

Xia Yu asked Xiao Ying in surprise, somewhat astonished. He had just told Xiao Ying about this yesterday at noon, and Xiao Ying told him today that the Clow Cards had been captured. That was too fast!

"Hehehe, it's mainly because Li helped me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find a seat."

Sakura scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly. Yesterday, she rushed back to ask Kero about it, and Kero suggested a Clow Card divination. She already had more than ten Clow Cards, so a simple divination was possible.

Through divination, she learned that the Clow Cards already knew about her situation; simply put, some of the Clow Cards already knew, and she was collecting them.

Aside from a few Clow Cards that haven't yet awakened and transformed from playing cards into concrete images, most of the other Clow Cards are aware of this, and each Clow Card has a different personality; some are interested in the matter, while others are not.

In addition, she also learned through divination that the next target of the Clow Card that imitated her was her brother, Touya.

Worried about her brother's safety, she went alone, relying on her vague senses, and found herself in a nearby grove. However, the grove had a strange aura that interfered with her ability to find the Clow Cards.

Just as she was at a loss and helpless, tears welled up in her eyes, Li Xiaolang suddenly appeared. According to Li Xiaolang, he had also sensed the aura of the Clow Cards and had come here. Then, the two of them used Li Xiaolang's compass, which could be used to find the Clow Cards, to directly find the bottom of the cliff in the grove.

There they met her brother, who had fallen into a coma, and the Clow Card that imitated her.

At this point in the story, Sakura suddenly turned to Xia Yu gratefully and said, "It's all thanks to your reminder yesterday, Xia-kun, that I was able to guess that the Clow Cards are Mirror Cards. According to Kero, these kinds of Clow Cards are very special."

"Binding and attack cards are ineffective against them. Only by calling out the name of the card can they lose their power and be sealed into a card."

"So... that Clow Card that imitates you is the Mirror Card?" Xia Yu asked.

Sakura nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Good heavens, they really are the Kagami-Sakura twins."

"Kagayaki Twins?"

"It's alright, you can continue." Xia Yu waved his hand without explaining.

Although she was a little curious about who the Kagami-Sakura twins that Xia Yu mentioned were, Sakura didn't ask. She and Tomoyo were already used to Xia Yu's occasional strange words.

"After revealing the true name of the mirror, it voluntarily sealed itself away by me, and my brother had to take leave from work to recuperate at home because he injured his leg."

After finishing speaking, Sakura let out a breath. This was how she sealed the Mirror Plate yesterday. Although it was a short story, it was actually quite nerve-wracking.

Even though she had gone to find the Clow Cards as quickly as possible, her brother was still injured because of them.

"Sakura, is it because of the urgency that you didn't invite me and Natsu yesterday?" Tomoyo suddenly asked after listening to Sakura's explanation.

Hearing this, Sakura felt a little embarrassed. Yesterday, because she was worried about her brother, she went out to look for him without thinking.

After the series of events that followed, she had already subdued the Mirror Card, so she didn't have time to call Tomoyo and Natsu.

Before Sakura could explain, Tomoyo laughed and said, "Although it's a bit of a shame that we couldn't capture Sakura's heroic figure, it's great that the Clow Cards didn't cause any major disaster. It's all thanks to you, Sakura."

"Hehehe..." Sakura smiled shyly, feeling a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Since Sakura-nii got hurt because of this, why don't we go visit him after school this afternoon? What do you think, Natsu?"

"I think it's okay."

"Then it's a deal."

Sakura felt a warmth in her heart when she heard her friends confirm their plans to visit her brother that afternoon.

Although her two best friends are a bit eccentric, they are both very, very good people. She is truly lucky to have such friends.

……

Peaceful days passed by one by one, and time always slipped away unnoticed. Whether it was going to school or coming home from school, it all seemed to happen in the blink of an eye.

Since Sakura captured the Mirror Card last time, her school days have returned without too many ups and downs.

Touya also recovered quickly under rest. Although it would normally take more than half a month to recover, he recovered in just one week. Even the doctor was amazed by this. His recovery ability was simply extraordinary.

Touya offered no explanation; he couldn't very well tell the doctor that he wasn't a normal person to begin with.

As Touya recovered, Sakura's smile returned as well. Although she and her brother often argued, she actually cared about him a lot.

School day.

Thump~ thump~ thump~ thump~

Inside the classroom, Xia Yu heard the class bell ring, then turned to look at the empty seat to his left and couldn't help but complain.

"The bell has already rung. It looks like Sakura is really going to be late this time."

"not necessarily."

Tomoyo held the opposite opinion from Natsume. She looked towards the door and said, "Sakura might arrive in the next moment. As long as she gets there before the teacher, it won't be considered late."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the classroom door was suddenly flung open, and Sakura stood panting in the doorway, shouting, "Good morning!"

"See, I told you Sakura wouldn't be late."

Tomoyo first turned around and said something to Xia Yu, then looked at Sakura at the door and clapped for her, saying, "You made it just in time, Sakura."

When the other students saw that Sakura had successfully arrived at the classroom before being late this time, they all applauded and encouraged her.

"The teacher hasn't arrived yet."

"He arrived at the classroom right on time again. Kinomoto-kun is still as amazing as ever."

"I've successfully avoided being late again."

Hearing the words of her classmates in the classroom, Xiaoying felt a sense of relief, and her tense body relaxed.

"Great."

Just then, another voice came from behind her: "You really made it just in time, Kinomoto-san."

“Huh?!”

Hearing that familiar voice, Sakura turned around awkwardly. Behind her, Terada Yoshiyuki was chuckling and winking at her.

"Go back to your seats, the class meeting is about to start."

"Yes!!"

Feeling extremely embarrassed, Sakura hurriedly returned to her seat. After she hung up her bag and hat, Yoshiyuki Terada also walked to the podium.

Looking at the earnest students in front of him, Terada Yoshiyuki said, "I have something to announce today. Our math teacher, Tsutsumi, will be taking a long leave of absence."

"Eh--?"

"So starting today, new substitute teachers will be teaching you math."

I always thought Yoshiyuki Terada taught math...

But this episode tells me he isn't, so why is he, a guy who's neither a Chinese teacher nor a math teacher, the homeroom teacher?
