The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

Also, I don't think this book will be very long. It will probably end when the anime series ends. The Clear Card arc is uncertain; I don't know if I'll write it. As for Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and Watanuki Kimihiro... I definitely won't write those, since this isn't a crossover anime, it's just a Cardcaptor Sakura fanfic.

Chapter 43 The World Treats Me Gently

"So, everything I just saw was fake?"

After Kero's explanation, Sakura gradually understood what had just happened.

Upon realizing that what she had just seen wasn't her mother, but an illusion created by the illusion cards, her expression gradually turned dejected: "So that wasn't my mother, just an illusion after all..."

She saw her mother here because she missed her.

The atmosphere around them gradually became somber. Before Xiao Ke could say anything to comfort her, Xia Yu suddenly flicked Xiao Ke away with a finger. Xiao Ke screamed and spun around in the air several times before finally stopping.

"You brat, what are you doing!" After regaining her balance, Xiao Ke glared angrily at Xia Yu and roared.

"I'm wondering just how awful your master really is."

Xia Yu curled his lip and couldn't help but complain, "When the Water Card was sealed, it tried to pull people into the water and drown them. The Illusion Card was even worse; it actually tried to lure people off the cliff. Tell me, aren't the Clow Cards cruel?"

"This……"

Xiao Ke was taken aback and fell silent. Although he wanted to defend his master, Clow Reed, what Xia Yu had just said was true.

If Xia Yu hadn't made Sakura faint, she might have really fallen off the cliff.

"Sakura, I'm sorry, I couldn't help. This was really dangerous, and I couldn't do anything." Kero floated in front of Sakura, looking apologetic.

Seeing Kero's remorseful expression, Sakura suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, Kero. Although that wasn't Mom, I know that Mom isn't alone here. Of course, I would be happy to see her, but I would be even happier if she were in a beautiful heaven."

Sakura's sensible words gradually dispelled the previously gloomy atmosphere. Looking at Sakura's forced smile, Xia Yu fell silent.

In the original work, Sakura's mother's soul is real. He just remembered that in the original anime, Sakura did indeed fall off a cliff.

But at that moment, Sakura's mother, Kinomoto Nadeshiko's spirit appeared and forcefully broke through reality to pull Sakura back, preventing her from falling straight down.

If I'm not mistaken, Sakura's mother is right beside them right now, probably watching them with a smile.

Unfortunately, only those with extremely strong magical powers can see the existence of souls, and none of those present met this requirement.

Among Sakura's family members, only Touya can see the souls of the deceased.

However, according to the setting information, a few years later, when Sakura grows up, she will be able to see the existence of souls, and at that time she will naturally meet her deceased mother.

As Xia Yu was reflecting on these things, Xiao Ying suddenly looked at him and said, "Thank you, Xia Yu. Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I might have fallen."

Faced with Sakura's grateful smile, Xia Yu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, opened the system shop, and found a potion that could temporarily see souls, though it was a bit expensive.

However, seeing the melancholy hidden beneath Sakura's optimism, he didn't hesitate and clicked to redeem without hesitation. After redeeming, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sakura's gentleness and strength are worth it for him to do this. Besides, Sakura's understanding is heartbreaking. So, it's no big deal to exchange a bottle of magic potion that can temporarily see souls for her. At worst, he can just let himself go a little more.

Besides, he's only getting so much sunshine points thanks to Sakura's status as the protagonist of this world, so there's even less reason for him to hesitate.

The world treats me kindly, and I will repay it with a song.

"Sakura, would you like to see your mother?"

"Eh?"

Xia Yu's sudden words startled everyone, and Xiao Ying herself looked over with a face full of confusion.

"Xia, what do you mean?"

"I have a potion here that can temporarily make you see things you couldn't see before, including the souls of the deceased."

As he spoke, Xia Yu took out a bottle of silvery-white magic potion from his backpack, which was still bubbling continuously.

He didn't redeem the permanent version because he knew Sakura was afraid of ghosts. If Sakura could see things she couldn't see before all the time, it would only frighten her from time to time.

After shaking the potion in front of everyone, Xia Yu said again, "Xiao Ying, if you really want to see your mother, drink this potion."

"I……"

Sakura was momentarily at a loss for how to react, while Kero slowly floated up to Xia Yu and asked curiously, "Where did you get so many strange things, kid? A potion that can make you see things you can't see before? I've never heard of such a thing before."

Besides, it had never heard of the Xia family of magicians, but it had heard of the Li family of magicians, since that was Clow Reed's maternal family.

Before Xiao Ke could figure it out, it suddenly felt someone tap its head.

Xia Yu gently tapped Xiao Ke's head with the potion and said disdainfully, "How can you, a mere doll, view me with your pathetic perspective? My wonder is beyond the comprehension of even the wisdom of a lifetime."

Xiao Ke: (ー`ー)

"You brat, you're mocking me again! Ouch!"

"Hiss... Are you a dog? Why are you biting me again! Let go!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Seeing Xiao Ke and Xia Yu suddenly start playing around, Xiao Ying couldn't help but laugh, and her previously chaotic thoughts gradually became clearer.

"Xia, thank you very much for your kindness, but..."

"Drink it!"

Before Sakura could finish declining, Xia Yu suddenly pulled out the stopper from the potion bottle with lightning speed and then shoved the bottle opening into Sakura's mouth.

He's already changed jobs, wouldn't it be fair not to drink with him?

Besides, the system doesn't have a recycling function, so it can't just drink it itself.

After shoving the potion bottle into Sakura's mouth, Xia Yu lifted it up, and the potion immediately flowed into Sakura's mouth, which she instinctively gulped down.

A few seconds later, the potion in the bottle was empty.

"Cough cough cough..."

After drinking the entire potion in one gulp, Sakura couldn't help but cough a few times, patting her chest. If she hadn't swallowed quickly, she would have choked.

Sakura, who had just recovered, was about to complain when she suddenly noticed a semi-transparent figure beside her.

The figure wore a light green dress, had milky white angel wings on its back, and its slightly curled long hair fluttered in the air as it looked at her with a gentle expression.

Compared to the previous phantom that only had a formulaic smile, this figure was more dynamic, and the gentleness in its eyes seemed to penetrate life and death, making it appear so real.

"Mother?"

Sakura exclaimed in disbelief.

For some reason, Sakura felt that the figure in front of her was her mother, an unquestionable certainty.

Noticing that Sakura was staring at her and had called out "Mom," Kinomoto Nadeshiko covered her mouth in surprise: "Can you see me?"

It was this action that made Sakura notice something different. The mother who appeared in front of her now was wearing a wedding ring on the ring finger of her left hand, which was something that her mother had not seen before.

This wedding ring is exactly the same as the wedding ring her father always wore on his finger.

Chapter 44 I shall repay you with a song

"Mom, is it really Mom this time?"

Sakura couldn't help but stand up. Kinomoto Nadeshiko also recovered from her surprise and smiled gently, "I was a little worried this time, so I came back to check on you. Luckily, Sakura, nothing happened to you."

Hearing these heartfelt words, Sakura's eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but take two steps forward and extend her hand.

"mom!"

Seeing this, Kinomoto Nadeshiko also stepped forward with a smile and embraced Sakura.

Although they couldn't touch each other, both Sakura and Kinomoto Nadeshiko felt each other's warmth at that moment.

"Alright, let's not disturb the mother and daughter's reunion."

After Xia Yu collected the empty glass bottle left after drinking the potion, he grabbed Xiao Ke with one hand and Zhi Shi with the other, and walked away into the distance.

He didn't see Sakura's mother, but judging from Sakura's reaction, Kinomoto Nadeshiko must be here.

"The mother and daughter must have so much to miss, so let's leave them some space to themselves."

Hearing Xia Yu's explanation, Tomoyo turned to look at Sakura, who was left alone there, and couldn't help but ask, "Xia-kun, did Sakura really see her mother?"

"What? You don't believe it?"

"Do not……"

Tomoyo shook her head, looked at Xia Yu again, and smiled faintly, "Thank you, Xia Yu. I'm just... just happy for Sakura. After all, Sakura lost her mother when she was young, and now Sakura can finally fulfill her dream."

"Hehe, don't you even know who's helping her?"

"Yes, yes, Xia is the best!"

……

At midnight.

The moonlight descended upon Tomoeda Town once more. The forest was lush and verdant, and the starlight and moonlight, partially obscured by the leaves, transformed into shimmering streaks of light. Only the distant city remained brightly lit.

Xia Yu, Zhi Shi, and Xiao Ke gathered together, enjoying the video recording on the camera, which showed Sakura sealing the Clow Cards.

After seeing the latest jump card from the first fly card, Sakura walked over with red eyes and faint tear tracks at the corners of her eyes.

After walking over, Xiaoying strode up to Xia Yu, then bowed deeply and said, "Xia Yu, thank you for letting me see my mother. She has returned to beautiful heaven, and she asked me to convey her thanks to you."

"You're welcome. I just wanted to do that."
