The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

Not only were the lessons exactly the same as yesterday, but the recorder test, which she had already taken yesterday, was also held again today. She still remembers that she made a mistake on one syllable during the test.

Could it be that she remembered it wrong?

Sakura, puzzled, looked at Tomoyo beside her. After hesitating for a few seconds, she asked, "Tomoyo, you took the recorder test yesterday, right?"

"Ok?"

Tomoyo was clearly puzzled by Sakura's strange question, but Sakura continued, "I remember we took the recorder exam yesterday, and I even had a toast with my brothers at home to celebrate."

Hearing this, Tomoyo thought Sakura was being overly nervous and gently asked, "Sakura, are you too nervous?"

"Nah!"

Sakura shook her head vigorously in denial. She didn't know how to describe her feelings. When she saw Xia Yu sitting in front of her, she couldn't help but poke him with her recorder.

When Xia Yu turned his head in confusion, Xiao Ying looked at him with a pleading gaze: "Um, Xia, didn't we take the recorder test yesterday? You played very well, and we even applauded for you, do you remember?"

Sakura's voice carried a hint of nervousness, after all, even Tomoyo couldn't remember, and she didn't know if Natsumi could remember either.

However, Xia, like her, possesses magic, so she should be able to remember.

As Sakura thought this, a hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes. What she feared most was that only she would remember the same day, while no one else would know.

However, to Sakura's disbelief and even unease, Xia Yu's eyes did not show the affirmation she expected; instead, they revealed confusion and bewilderment.

"Did we... take a recorder test yesterday?"

Xia Yu frowned and recalled yesterday. Yesterday, it was clearly Sakura's father, Kinomoto Fujitaka, who gave the lecture. When was the recorder exam?

Thinking of this, Xia Yu asked directly, "Didn't your father come to our school to give a lecture yesterday, Xiaoying? When did you take the recorder exam?"

"Wasn't that the day before yesterday?"

Seeing that Xia Yu and Zhi Shi both said they hadn't passed the recorder test yesterday, Xiao Ying couldn't help but doubt herself. Could it be that she had remembered wrong? And what about the extra memories?

Seeing Xiaoying's strange expression, Xia Yu fell silent for a moment. Could it be that they really took the recorder test yesterday? Then why did he have no memory of it at all?

The beginning? Summer returning? An endless August?

Does Cardcaptor Sakura's world also have time loops? Is it the Clow Cards causing trouble again?

Hmm, I can't remember. I don't have any specific impression of this episode, but since it's a time loop, it must be the time cards causing the trouble.

After all, of the Clow Cards related to time, he only remembered the Time Card.

Just as Xia Yu was thinking rapidly, the teacher on the stage suddenly called out, "Xia Yu, it's your turn."

"it is good!"

Hearing the music teacher call his name, Xia Yu stopped thinking and walked confidently to the podium.

If it really is a time card, then the danger is not very great. At least it will not cause any real danger; it is just a matter of repeating the time.

I just didn't expect him to be affected too, but considering that even Touya, who has immense magical power, was affected, it's not unacceptable.

After all, even people with magic powers can be affected, let alone an ordinary elementary school student without magic powers.

Just like Sakura remembered, Xia Yu went on stage to perform and won applause.

However, Xia Yu, who was standing on the stage listening to the applause, was a little puzzled. Why didn't his Sunshine Value increase this time? Usually, this kind of behavior would give him a Sunshine Value increase notification.

Doesn't this seem out of character for a sunny and cheerful young man?

With a puzzled look in his mind, Xia Yu opened the system he hadn't checked in a long time, and then he found that the sunshine value in his system had inexplicably increased.

"?"

"Xiao Xi, what's going on? When did the sunlight value increase? Was it during the last recorder exam?"

Puzzled, Xia Yu thought of a possibility: perhaps there really was a recorder exam yesterday, and he gained sunshine points.

However, after starting over, the system didn't refresh; instead, he himself did.

This explanation makes sense: the inexplicable increase in sunshine value was due to yesterday's increase, while today, due to the time reset, the sunshine value did not increase.

[Yes, Master. Repeated actions within the time loop cannot repeatedly gain sunlight points; the system prevents exploiting bugs.]

"Ah this..."

Back in his seat, Xia Yu looked at the system's reply and was speechless. So, without knowing anything about it, he tried to exploit a bug.

Can you blame him?

Why the hell didn't you tell me the time had reset?!

[Because the master didn't ask, and the master wasn't in any danger.]

"..."

"You're such a clever little devil..."

After letting out a soft sigh, Xia Yu said wearily, "If time resets again next time, remember to tell me immediately, understand?"

【Understand!】

【()】

……

In the afternoon, at the steps of the playground.

"Xia, do you believe me now?"

After the club activities ended, Sakura and Tomoyo sat on the steps to rest, while the boys played soccer on the playground.

This time, Xia Yu didn't go to play football. Although he didn't have any related memories, he felt that he should still discuss it with Xiaoying and collect the Time Card as soon as possible so that he could escape this time loop.

"Ah."

Xia Yu, leaning against the wall, nodded: "I only noticed the anomaly after you told me that things were a bit strange today, Xiaoying. Perhaps we've already fallen into a time loop."

"Time loop?"

Tomoyo, who was listening nearby, muttered to herself, somewhat puzzled: "Could it be déjà vu? It's the first time I've been here, but it feels a little familiar, and when I talk to people, it feels like I've talked to them before."

"Probably not."

Sakura shook her head: "I remember it very clearly."

As she spoke, Sakura pointed to the playground, looking at the scene that was exactly the same as yesterday... but different.

The playground was different from yesterday because Xia Yu was no longer playing football.

Just then, Li Xiaolang suddenly walked towards Xiaoying. Seeing that Li Xiaolang's behavior was different from yesterday, Xiaoying was a little surprised.

But before she could even ask a question, Li Xiaolang spoke up first: "Don't you find it strange?"

"Eh?"

"You took the recorder test yesterday, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Sakura suddenly stood up and looked at Li Xiaolang in surprise. Tomoyo was also a little surprised. Seeing that Li Xiaolang said the same thing, she began to believe in the time loop.

Before Sakura could ask any questions, Li Xiaolang continued seriously, "It seems you've noticed as well. Yesterday and today are exactly the same. Without a doubt, this is the work of the Clow Cards."

"Is it another Clow Card?"

Upon hearing Li Xiaolang's words, Sakura gasped softly. Seeing this, Li Xiaolang was equally surprised: "Didn't you sense the scent of the Clow Cards? You're the Cardcaptor Sakura, after all."

"Woo..."

Sakura looked a little downcast upon hearing this, as she genuinely hadn't sensed anything.

Xia Yu, who was listening from the side, didn't know what to say. The Clow Cards were just playing cards, what flavor could they have? Spicy and numbing flavor?

Glancing at Sakura's disappointed expression, Li Xiaolang walked to Sakura's side and pointed to the school clock tower.

"The Clow Cards are right there."

"Danger!"

Suddenly, a gasp came from the playground.

Even without Xia Yu, the black and white soccer ball still hurtled towards Little Wolf just like yesterday, even though Little Wolf was below the steps instead of above them.

Realizing this, the little wolf did not hesitate at all, leaping high into the air again and kicking the soccer ball into the net, just like yesterday.

A few seconds later, applause rang out on the playground.

Are there similarities even within differences?

Watching this scene unfold, where the processes differed but the outcome was the same, Sakura couldn't help but murmur to herself.

After revealing the location of the Clow Cards, Syaoran left without lingering.

After Syaoran walked away, Sakura and the others discussed it and immediately decided to try to seal away the mischievous Clow Cards that night.

It would be terrible if time didn't move forward and we kept repeating the same day.

Chapter 81 The Power of Time

Midnight, Tomoeda Elementary School.

The night sky was slightly different from yesterday; the stars were no longer as bright, and some dark clouds had obscured them.

Three figures were lurking together in the grass below the clock tower.
