The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

Seeing that its shadow was useless, the shadow card stirred up a black wave again. The wave instantly turned into a black tornado, but before the tornado could do anything, a blinding light appeared again.

"Ultimately bright as day!"

This time, the light was far brighter than the previous two times. Under the light, the black waves vanished completely, and even the shadow of the shadow plaque itself shrank back.

Without any obstruction, countless streams of air shone with a blue light, and the wind tablet, carrying powerful gusts of wind, surrounded the shadow tablet, completely binding it.

This is truly baseless speculation!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sakura hurriedly had Kero lead her to the top of the shadow board, raised her wand which was shaped like a cone hammer, and then slammed it down hard on the shadow!

"Return to your original form, Clow Card!"

Ding!

Invisible ripples appeared, and a pale blue illusory card emerged from the pointed beak of the bird. The bound shadow card instantly turned into shadow and disappeared into it.

After the dazzling magic circle disappeared, a playing card materialized and appeared. In the center of the card was a white hooded cloak, inside which was deep darkness. Above it was written the artistic Chinese character "影" (shadow), and below it was the English word "THE SHADOW".

The seal is complete!

Chapter 21 Let's take a group photo!

After successfully capturing the Shadow Card, Sakura was about to catch the falling card when suddenly, an invisible wind seemed to appear, carrying the Shadow Card towards the sky.

"Eh?"

Sakura stared in surprise at the drifting shadow tablet, which swayed and floated into the air before finally landing in front of Xia Yu.

"Um... this is mine too? Sakura was the one who used the Wind Card to bind you in the end."

Xia Yu looked at the shadow tablet floating in front of him, equally puzzled, but the shadow tablet floated into his hand on its own, as if it only recognized him.

"Fine……"

Since things have come to this, what else can we do but accept it?

You can keep the Shadow Card, though. Compared to the important Flying Card, the Shadow Card isn't that useful, and you can use it for a longer period of time.

And putting everything else aside, the Shadow Card is indeed quite cool, controlling shadows, it's like directly transforming into a Shadow Lord.

"Um, Xia, we can go down now."

Just then, Tomoyo suddenly said in a low voice.

Her little face was a little red. No matter how composed she usually seemed, she was still just a little girl after all.

The danger has passed, and Tomoyo belatedly realized that Natsume had been holding her the whole time.

She gets shy when a boy her age hugs her.

However, to be fair, the shooting angle is indeed excellent. She has just captured Sakura's heroic figure perfectly. Thanks to Xia, she has captured some great shots again.

"Oh right, it's time to go down."

Xia Yu didn't think too much about it, and since Zhi Shi had her head down, he couldn't see her expression.

After replying to Tomoyo, Xia Yu landed from the air, gently put Tomoyo down, and then folded the wings on his back.

Only then did he have time to examine the shadow cards in his hand.

Tsk, what a pity.

The shadow puppet wasn't depicted as a cute girl. For some reason, it suddenly reminded him of Dementors. He should have used Patronus instead.

Not long after, Sakura also came over. Xia Yu waved the shadow card in his hand and smiled at Sakura, "It seems this card likes me quite a bit, so I'll accept it without being polite!"

Sakura smiled and said, "If it weren't for Natsu's help, I probably wouldn't know what to do. This Clow Card originally belonged to Natsu."

"Ughhhh, why is this card his again?! Sakura, you're the Cardcaptor Sakura!"

Little Ke, who was a step behind, also flew over. Looking at the Clow Cards in Xia Yu's hand, it couldn't help but cover its head and shout dejectedly.

Hearing Xiao Ke say that, Xiao Ying tapped Xiao Ke's head and frowned, saying, "Don't say that, Xiao Ke. If it weren't for Xia's help, I don't know if I could have sealed it."

"I know……"

Kero, with its wings drooping, floated listlessly onto Sakura's hat: "I just can't accept it. Sakura, you're the Cardcaptor Sakura."

"The magical girl, after a bloody battle, finally sealed the evil Clow Cards with the help of her companions, ultimately saving the entire school. Isn't that a great story?"

Seeing Keroberos's worried face, Tomoyo suddenly smiled and leaned over: "But every perfect story has to end with a group photo, Keroberos, can you please cheer up? I want to take a group photo with everyone together, not with a long face!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ke raised her eyelids slightly, looked at Zhi Shi's enthusiastic face, and finally cheered up, laughing heartily, "Hahaha, since I've been asked to do this, I'll cheer up!"

"Yeah~"

"Come on, Xia, stand here. Xiaoying, you stand here. And Xiaoke, can you fly in the air? Okay, get in position, get ready, I'm going to take a picture!"

"and many more!"

Just as Tomoyo was about to press the shutter, Xia Yu suddenly interrupted her. Under Tomoyo's puzzled gaze, Xia Yu pulled her over as well.

"I already said it's a group photo for the perfect story, how could Tomoyo not be included, right, Sakura?"

Hearing this, Sakura nodded emphatically: "Natsu is right, Tomoyo, you can't be absent either."

"But……"

But she didn't help at all, so how could she appear in the story?

"No buts!"

Xia Yu interrupted Zhi Shi's refusal and continued, "Don't underestimate yourself, Zhi Shi. Don't forget that you were the first among us to discover the shadow token's whereabouts."

"And even I, the photographer, can be involved in the story, but you are the director, and a director is many levels above a photographer."

Hearing these words, Tomoyo pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but seeing Sakura and Kero's affirming gazes, she paused and then smiled.

"Alright then, but if I join in, who will press the shutter?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu took out the Shadow Cards he had just captured and chuckled, "If you're worried about no one pressing the shutter, then let the Clow Cards do it. After all, if you've captured the Clow Cards, you can't just let them fight, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ke nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense. The Bubble Card in the Clow Cards was created because Clow didn't want to wash the dishes and clothes himself. The Bubble Card can create foam and has washing magic."

"Ah this..."

Sakura paused for a moment, scratched her cheek and smiled sheepishly: "So Mr. Clow is this kind of person. A great magician created the Clow Cards because he didn't want to wash the dishes and clothes himself."

Xiao Ke nodded in deep agreement and said, "Of course, after all, Clow Reed is a capricious, wicked, and willful person."

"Bad personality?"

Sakura blinked her beady eyes, wanting to say to Kero, "Is it really okay for you to talk about your creator like that?"

I wonder what Mr. Kuro would think if he knew that his creation viewed him this way? Would he feel sad?

While Sakura and Keroberos were talking, Xia Yu had already unsealed the shadow card.

Although the Shadow Card hasn't been analyzed yet, it has already acknowledged him, so it's acceptable for him to show up and help.

As depicted in the original work, the Clow Cards possess their own thoughts and lives, and they can act on their own even if Sakura does not unseal them.

Of course, this is all contingent on the Clow Cards themselves being willing.

After the film was unsealed, the pitch-black shadow coalesced and took shape, transforming into a long black arm that held the camera in its hand.

Seeing that the Clow Cards were ready, the group immediately struck a pose and captured the moment.

Once the photos and videos were taken, everything was over.

Sakura went back to the RV to change back into her own clothes. She didn't know how she would explain it to her father if she went home in that witch outfit.

And I need to go to sleep as soon as I get back, because I have class tomorrow, so I can't stay up too late at night.

Before leaving, Xia Yu kindly used "Restore to Original State" to repair the damaged statues and playground. Although he didn't know how it was resolved in the animation, since he was here, it wouldn't take much time to repair it.

Of course, there was another thing that Xia Yu was very curious about: with such a big commotion during the battle, he used "Bright as Day" three times, and the last time was "Ultimate Bright as Day," yet no one noticed the unusual commotion at the school.

Not only did no passersby approach, but no one even stood up to complain about the disturbance. He was originally planning to wait for someone to come over before using "Forget Everything" to see what would happen, but it was a real pity.

In response, Xia Yu could only sigh that the protagonist of the world truly lived up to his name. Just like in urban battle anime, even when the protagonist's side was fighting to the death, the bystanders couldn't hear or see it.

Chapter 22: Knowing the World is Power

The next day, early in the morning.

With the shadow puppet gone and Xia Yu having fixed everything last night, the school has returned to its normal operating schedule.

The teachers were quite easygoing; seeing that the desk prank from yesterday didn't happen again today, they didn't think too much about it and continued to do things as usual.

School corridor.

Sakura was carrying two small bags in her hands, walking quickly as if she were looking for someone.

However, perhaps due to bad luck, she searched twice but failed to find the two people she wanted to see.

"Chiharu, have you seen Tomoyo and Natsu-san?"

After searching back and forth for a while, Sakura saw Chiharu walking towards her and hurriedly went up to ask her.

"Tomoyo and Natsu-san?"

Chiharu paused for a second to think, then suddenly clasped her hands together: "I just saw the two of them seem to have gone into the audiovisual room, as if they wanted to play something."
