The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

Xia Yu reached out and helped Xiao Ying up, then smiled and said, "If you really want to thank me, then hurry up and seal away the illusion cards that bewitch people. But the illusion cards are mine."

"it is good!"

Sakura gripped her pink wand tightly, her expression resolute. "We must seal this Clow Card away; we absolutely cannot let it continue to wreak havoc!"

If it weren't for Xia, she would have already been misled and fallen off the cliff.

If she's like this, what about the other ordinary students who came out of curiosity? For the safety of others, this Clow Card absolutely must be sealed away.

After making up my mind, all that's left is for the illusion card to appear.

Just then, the illusion card, which had disappeared without a trace, suddenly reappeared as if it had heard their conversation.

A pale blue fluorescent light floated in the air, just as it had when the magic cards first appeared.

The next second, a deep blue light surged, and then a beautiful figure emerged from it. Looking at this woman who seemed to have stepped out of a photograph, even though she knew it was a phantom of a Clow Card, Sakura was still somewhat stunned.

However, Sakura quickly shook her head and came to her senses. No matter how similar the illusion was, it was still fake.

Besides, she had just met her real mother, and this phantom, who neither wore a wedding ring nor had angel wings, could no longer deceive her.

Sakura forcefully suppressed the complex emotions in her heart, and her eyes became firm.

That's not her mother at all! An illusion is just an illusion; it can never compare to the real one!

When Sakura cleared her mind and re-examined the phantom, the phantom, which had been as beautiful as the photograph, suddenly began to flicker and become unclear.

The reality that could deceive people began to appear illusory, like an old television set that had broken down, where the clear picture started to flicker and snow-like kaleidoscope colors appeared from time to time.

This scene already demonstrated the illusion's falsehood. Seeing the Clow Card about to reveal its true form, Sakura waved her wand and ran towards the illusion, then slammed it down hard.

This blow inevitably carries the anger of being deceived.

"Return to your original form, Clow Card!"

"Ding--!"

It rang out softly and crisply, its echo reverberating.

As ripples appeared, the tip of the bird-headed wand slammed into the main body of the illusion card, and in the next instant, a massive amount of magic power surged out from the wand.

The flickering phantom became even more illusory, eventually shattering into a dazzling humanoid radiance. Then, that humanoid radiance was completely absorbed into the illusory card, and a card condensed from the tip of the bird's head.

The card slowly floated into Sakura's hand. Seeing this, Xiaojian immediately raised both hands and cheered, "Yay! Sakura, you've successfully captured another Clow Card! You truly are the Cardcaptor Sakura I chose!"

The card features the Chinese character "幻" (illusion) at the top and the English word "THE ILLUSION" at the bottom, with a kaleidoscope-like pattern in the center.

Sakura looked at the beautifully patterned illusion card in her hand, and after confirming that the card had been sealed, she walked up to Xia Yu and handed it to him.

"Here, Xia, if you hadn't shown me my real mother, I probably wouldn't have been able to seal the illusion card at all."

"Hehe~ You're underestimating yourself again, Sakura."

After Xia Yu took the card, he gently patted Sakura's head and said helplessly, "You are the one and only Cardcaptor Sakura. Even without me, you can successfully seal the Clow Cards. After all, you are the chosen one, the protagonist of the world."

"Well……"

Watching Xia Yu put away the Illusion Card, Xiao Ke couldn't help but frown. She floated in front of Xia Yu and snorted, "I'll give you the Illusion Card this time because you let Xiao Ying see her mother. But next time I won't be so lenient, hmph!"

"Yes, yes, thank you for your magnanimity, handsome Lord Cerberus, for giving me this card. I will never forget your kindness."

Flattered like this, Xiao Ke immediately became smug and couldn't help but raise his head proudly, saying, "I never thought you could speak so nicely. Since you're calling me 'sir,' I won't bite you if you make me angry again. After all, I'm a magnanimous sir."

You're not even human...

Xia Yu thought to himself, but still flattered her aloud, saying, "Then I thank Lord Cerberus in advance."

"Yohohohohoho~"

After subduing the mischievous Clow Cards, the group had no reason to stay in the back mountain any longer. Besides, even though Sakura knew that the ghosts were actually caused by the Clow Cards, the atmosphere of the forest at night still made her a little scared.

Some fears cannot be overcome in a short time.

Urged on by Sakura, the group had no choice but to quickly leave the back mountain, leaving behind this place that had left such a deep impression on Sakura.

Chapter 45 This is scientific

Since sealing the mischievous Clow Cards, there has been a long period of inactivity. It seems that after sealing each Clow Card, it takes a long time before a new anomaly is encountered.

However, Xia Yu had already gotten used to it. In any case, he was quite relaxed whether it was a day off or a school day.

After all, elementary school students don't have much to do. Compared to going to school, their energy is mainly focused on their own company.

Although he has a large inheritance at his disposal, he can't always squander it without saving, can he?

You absolutely cannot live comfortably without money.

Because his identity was purchased directly from the system store, no one coveted anything he inherited, and the employees assigned to him by the company were all loyal to him.

Even though he was just a primary school student in his early teens.

It's very unscientific, but the system itself is unscientific, so two negatives make a positive, which is very scientific.

Summer at home on a day off.

"Young Master, the Daidoji Group has agreed to our cooperation proposal, but..."

At this point, the butler hesitated. As a servant, he shouldn't interfere with his master's decisions, no matter how outrageous they were. But what could he do when his master was still so young?

"Just what?"

Xia Yu propped his chin on one hand, looking at the company's future development plans, and casually asked a question.

His family's company is named Talos, after the Greek mythological giant Talos (Greek: Ταλω; English: Talos / Talus), which means "to cut down" or "the sun".

For some reason, Xia Yu had a feeling that companies founded by people with the same name as him would all be called Talos, so he decided on the company name based on that feeling.

"Do we really want to collaborate with the Daidoji Group on the drone project? The Daidoji Group is just a large toy company, why would we want to collaborate with them on a drone project?"

Speaking of this, the butler was genuinely puzzled. If it were a toy project, he wouldn't have any questions, but a drone project... that's no longer in the category of toys!

Which toy company would manufacture drones? Remote-controlled helicopters are possible, though they may have some similarities to drones, but they are completely different things.

"Heh~"

Hearing his housekeeper's question, Xia Yu chuckled, put down the proposal in his hand, and replied seriously, "No need to ask anymore, my mind is made up."

"Furthermore, do you really think they are just an ordinary large toy company? The Daidoji Group is definitely underestimated, and you will definitely not lose out by cooperating with them."

It's worth noting that in the later part of the original story, Tomoyo even used a stable camera drone as a filming device. According to his vague memory, he vaguely remembered Tomoyo saying that it was a new product developed by their family.

Which toy company can develop a stable photography drone? This is completely different.

Not to mention the mobile phone that Tomoyo gave him; perhaps the Daidoji Group was the first to invent touchscreen phones in the future.

"That's enough for now. The drone project is just the beginning. There might be more projects we'll be collaborating on in the future." Xia Yu waved his hand and said no more.

Realizing that this collaboration was not a spur-of-the-moment decision by Xia Yu, but rather the result of careful consideration, the butler stopped questioning. Since his master was confident, that was enough.

"Oh, right, prepare a box of sketching pencils for me. I remember we're going to the art museum to sketch on Monday for our craft class."

"Yes, Master."

……

School day.

Monday, at the art museum.

Today's class was unusual because it was being held outdoors, not in a classroom.

However, today is not a field trip day, but a craft class. Their class went to a local art museum in Tomoeda Town to practice sketching.

However, elementary school students' sketching is just so-so; the teacher mainly wants the students to go out and broaden their horizons.

Inside the art museum, the curator was telling the assembled students about the museum's history. The complicated and tedious history made the students drowsy, with only a few listening with great interest.

After more than ten minutes, the curator explained some precautions for the art museum before finally stopping his rambling.

However, the curator's departure does not mean the group can be disbanded; the homeroom teacher has not yet spoken.

Next, the speaker became the handsome young homeroom teacher, who was in charge of assigning the students the sketching task.

Fortunately, there weren't many tasks, and the homeroom teacher only spoke for two or three minutes before it was over.

Only then did the students gradually disperse and go off to find their own reference points for sketching.

"Sketching, ah, I really miss it."

Holding his sketchbook and pencil, Xia Yu looked around at the museum's collection and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

He hadn't done any sketching for over ten years. His most memorable sketching days were when he participated in art exam training before he time-traveled.

Back then, he practically ate and slept while drawing, even dreaming about drawing. All of this was for the sake of getting a high score on the art college entrance exam. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he went back to elementary school.

I still remember when the training camp ended that year, he gained more than ten kilograms. It was truly a tough time.

"Huh? Has Xia had any experience with sketching before?"

Hearing Xia Yu's感慨 (sentiments/reflections), Xiao Ying, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"Yes, it was a painful memory, but so much time has passed, and even the most painful memories are now just that."

"Um... is sketching very painful?"

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Xiao Ying was a little confused. She was quite happy when she was drawing, and she didn't feel much pain.
