The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

Sakura felt a little helpless. She also wanted to go as soon as possible, so that the margin for error would be increased.

But she has to attend classes during the day and celebrate the successful completion of her exams with her nemesis brother at night, so she can only find time to seal the Clow Cards after her family has gone to sleep.

If only she were an adult, she wouldn't need to go to class and would have time to seal the Clow Cards.

Seeing Sakura's helpless expression, Xia Yu didn't press the matter further.

Time reigns supreme, space is king, destiny is unchangeable, and cause and effect are supreme.

He really didn't have a good way to deal with the time-based Clow Cards. He couldn't remember the original storyline anymore, and his current methods were no match for them.

Unless you're willing to spend money, consuming a lot of sunlight points to buy an item or something, you can easily get through this part of the story.

But that's obviously not worth it. Anyway, the Clow Cards will definitely be sealed in the end, so he can just get away with it.

Regardless of the process, the result will definitely be correct.

After all, as a certain cunning bespectacled man once said, there are no coincidences in this world, only inevitabilities.

That inevitable result will definitely come.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu lazily slumped onto his desk. Although it was the same old day, it was still the first day for him. So, he might as well just let it pass by as it came.

Anyway, he didn't keep repeating the same troubles of the day.

Everything that happened today was exactly the same as Sakura's memory, except that there were still some different scenes.

For example, this time Li Xiaolang failed to kick the soccer ball back when it flew towards him, and was instead hit in the face by the ball.

Even so, the football still managed to score using this reaction force, perhaps an example of a different process but an inevitable result.

Nighttime, Tomoeda Elementary School.

The sky was cloudless, and the stars twinkled brightly.

The weather is quite nice today. Even without streetlights as a light source, it is still possible to see things under the moonlight.

In the grove.

Sakura changed into her fairy battle outfit once again. This was the second time she had put on the outfit, and she was quite familiar with it.

Just as she was pondering how to approach the clock again, someone who hadn't appeared before suddenly appeared at the scene.

"Seriously, what are you doing?"

Li Xiaolang, dressed in a green Taoist robe, walked over slowly with his arms crossed, a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

However, compared to his expression, the band-aid on his nose seemed to attract more attention.

Seeing that it was Li Xiaolang, Xiaoying asked with some concern, "Li-kun, is your face alright?"

Li was able to easily kick the ball back the first two times, but this time, for some reason, the ball hit him in the face. Moreover, Li was hit by the ball in different places all three times. It is unknown whether it was bad luck or some other reason.

Hearing Sakura mention his embarrassing moment that afternoon, Li Xiaolang's face darkened, and he couldn't help but angrily point at the clock tower: "The time cards have already merged with the clock tower. As long as we use attack cards to destroy the clock tower, can't we restore the time cards to their original state?"

"This is already the third day, and I've taken the flute test three times in a row. Why haven't you sealed the time plate yet?!"

"I……"

Sakura opened her mouth, wanting to say that she had also taken the flute exam three times.

Xia Yu, however, lit up when he heard Xiao Lang's suggestion and quickly asked, "Would destroying the clock tower work? Wouldn't that make it harder to seal the clock?"

"How can it be!"

Li Xiaolang snorted and explained with a touch of arrogance, "I know a lot about the Clow Cards. As long as the Time Card loses its clock tower, it will be very difficult for it to use the power of time. If you don't believe me, you can ask Cerberus. He is a sealed beast, so he must know these things too."

The little wolf, who had been floating to the side, reluctantly flew to the wolf and nodded in affirmation when the wolf mentioned him.

"Hmm... I hate to admit it, but what this kid said is true. As long as the clock tower is destroyed, the time cards will not be able to cast time magic on a large scale. Even if they want to change the flow of time, they won't be as helpless as before."

"In that case..."

Xia Yu reached behind his back and pulled out the Thunder Token, then pointed it at the clock tower and said, "Let's smash the clock tower, that way we won't have to worry about the time token suddenly changing the time."

Sakura, Tomoyo: (*)!!

Sakura and Tomoyo were dumbfounded when Xia Yu finalized his plan to blow up the clock tower in just a few words.

Was this really necessary? You're just going to blow up the most important building in the area? Even though you're both foreigners, you can't just do this recklessly!

Seeing that Xia Yu, Xiao Lang, and Xiao Ke didn't seem to understand the significance of the clock tower, Zhi Shi hurriedly stopped them, saying, "We can't do that. This clock tower has always taken care of the townspeople, and we can't destroy it."

"That's right, that's right."

Sakura nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying, "I heard my father say that this clock tower was built along with Tomoeda Town when it was first built, and it has never been damaged over the years. We can't blow it up just because we're sealing the Clow Cards!"

"So you're going to just let that Clow Card cause trouble?"

Syaoran walked up to Sakura with a serious expression and stared at her: "You can think of it this way: the reason this clock tower hasn't broken down all these years is because it was waiting for this moment to be blown up!"

"But...but..."

Watching Syaoran and Sakura argue over the clock tower, Xia Yu felt speechless. Was it because his magic had no special effects, or even if it did, it was just welding, that it was easily overlooked?

The reason he advocated blowing up the clock tower was because he could use restoration magic to repair it.

In the game "Hogwarts Legacy", "restoring to its original state" can perfectly repair even a stone bridge that has long been broken and weathered.

Chapter 83 Remarks on the launch

It will be available for purchase tomorrow, the 1st.

New author, new book, newbie asking for subscriptions!

Thanks for the support!

Tomorrow I will release the remaining chapters all at once as the first chapters available for purchase. Long-time readers who have followed me from the beginning don't need to subscribe anymore; don't waste your money. If you still want to support me, you can subscribe to the new chapters; you can find out by the chapter titles.

Thank you to all the long-time readers who have supported me along the way, especially the big names like "自轻舟去" and "su2u4" who have supported me from the old book to the new one. Although this new book can also be considered an old book, it's as good as new.

Okay, that's enough said. Let me explain a few things here.

First: Why doesn't the protagonist have magic power?

From the author's perspective, the absence of magic is intended to suppress the protagonist's power; otherwise, if the protagonist were too strong, the plot would be almost devoid of twists and turns. Furthermore, if everything went smoothly, how would Sakura grow? How would she develop her relationship with Syaoran? Take the card-eliminating scene in the anime, for example. If the protagonist solved it easily, Sakura wouldn't have had the opportunity to train or deepen her bond with Syaoran. The card-eliminating incident also marked the beginning of the fading of the rift between Sakura and Syaoran. Therefore, the protagonist's lack of magic is a deliberate choice; I simply don't have the writing skills to create a compelling storyline where the protagonist is invincible without logical inconsistencies.

From Xia Yu's perspective, he wasn't particularly interested in exchanging magical energy for the Sakura world, as he knew the general plot. His mindset was simply to participate in the story; getting the Clow Cards would be a success, otherwise, he'd let Sakura handle it herself. From the beginning, Xia Yu had made his stance clear: regardless of the process, the final outcome would be inevitable. He only needed to borrow the entire set of Clow Cards to analyze them after Sakura became the true master of the cards, and Sakura certainly wouldn't refuse. Therefore, his attitude towards capturing the Clow Cards was one of participation and observation. Besides, exchanging magical energy required a considerable amount of Sunshine Points, which he was reluctant to spend.

Secondly: Why is it set up that wizards in Harry Potter have no magic?

To allow the protagonist to use magic without possessing magical powers, I thought Harry Potter was the only option. Plus, the magic in Harry Potter is quite versatile, with a very wide range of possibilities, so that's the design. Besides, isn't being able to use magic without needing magical powers more powerful than needing them to?

……

Finally, I want to emphasize again that the tone of this book is lighthearted, slice-of-life, and fun. The protagonist doesn't cause trouble, isn't invincible, doesn't break up couples, and won't do anything nonsensical just for fun.

If you really want me to write according to your wishes, you should at least give me a big reward like the 1.8-meter-tall lady did. Otherwise, why should I follow your wishes instead of those who are willing to give me rewards?

……

Okay, that's enough about the main topic. Now, let me share a little thought experiment of mine.

When you say Zhi Shi and Xia Yu are together, who is the older man and who is the younger woman?

Cardcaptor Sakura's manga began serialization in 1996, and the anime aired in 1998. To give you an idea of ​​the anime's timeline, Tomoyo was already ten years old in 98, but Natsume hadn't even been born yet...

Xia Yu was born in 2000, so when Zhi Shi was twelve years old, Xia Yu had just been born. Therefore, Zhi Shi was 12 years older than Xia Yu.

However, Xia Yu was already in his mid-twenties when he transmigrated. After arriving in Sakura's world, he reverted to his appearance at age seven. When he grew to the age of ten, he would have been around twenty-six or twenty-seven. By that calculation, he would be almost ten years older than Tomoyo.

This leads to the question: Is Zhi Shi older than Xia Yu, or is Xia Yu older than Zhi Shi?

If we subtract the twelve years that Tomoyo is older than Xia Yu from the ten-odd years that Xia Yu is older than Tomoyo, then Xia Yu is only about four or five years older than Tomoyo. If we subtract the time spent in Sakura's world after the transmigration, then he is only one or two years older than Tomoyo. So Xia Yu and Tomoyo are actually the same age.

Chapter 84 I will remember this grudge

"Hey, haven't you all forgotten something? I can use magic too..."

Seeing that Syaoran had stopped arguing with Sakura and started thinking of ways to avoid blowing up the clock tower, Xia Yu couldn't stand it any longer.

"Eh?"

As soon as Xia Yu said this, everyone else who was still thinking about countermeasures couldn't help but look over.

Before Syaoran and Sakura could understand what Xia Yu meant, Tomoyo was the first to react, and she patted her chest in relief.

"I see, Sakura. We all forgot one thing: Natsumi can repair broken things."

"repair?"

Sakura murmured to herself, then suddenly realized, "Oh right, I almost forgot that Xia-san can repair it. No wonder Xia-san was planning to blow up the clock tower just now."

"What on earth are you talking about?"

Seeing that Sakura and Tomoyo, who had originally opposed blowing up the clock tower, suddenly agreed to the plan, Li Xiaolang looked puzzled. He felt uncomfortable because everyone else understood it but he didn't.

"Hehe, just watch and see."

Xia Yu chuckled and didn't say anything directly. He kept everyone in suspense for a moment, then threw the Thunder Token in his hand hard towards the clock tower.

"I've decided on you, Thunder Beast!"

The moment the playing card flew into the sky, it instantly transformed into a blinding blue plasma, and then suddenly unfurled into a thunderous beast.
