The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

"really?"

Sakura looked a little sad. She had only argued with Kero because she was angry, but she regretted it after she calmed down.

I wonder where Xiao Ke is now, where she slept last night instead of going home, and whether she ate properly.

"Sakura, if you're really worried about Kero, let's go look for him together after school."

Seeing that Sakura still looked worried, Xia Yu suggested, "Don't worry about not being able to find it, I can use a locator magic to help."

“I’ll go help too,” Tomoyo said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Hearing that her good friends were willing to help her, Sakura nodded emphatically: "Thank you!"

……

Afternoon, commercial street.

Sakura, Tomoyo, and Natsume have changed into casual clothes and are following the streets in search of Kero.

Because school ended early, they went home first to change their school uniforms into regular clothes before going out together to look for the lost Xiao Ke.

After searching for nearly half an hour, they still couldn't find any trace of Xiao Ke, and they even turned over the trash cans.

Unable to find it, Sakura had no choice but to give up searching on her own and turn to Xia Yu's item-finding magic for help.

"So why didn't you let me use magic to find it from the beginning?"

Xia Yu took out his magic wand and couldn't help but look at Sakura, who was smiling awkwardly to the side.

Sakura blushed a little at Xia Yu's question and replied shyly, "Because I want to try to find it on my own first. It won't work if I rely on magic for everything."

"Um……"

Why not? I even use magic to do my homework.

Although Xia Yu thought this to himself, he didn't say it out loud. Using magic to do homework wasn't something to brag about, and Sakura's idea wasn't wrong.

He's not some clueless, straight-laced guy like Li Xiaolang, so naturally he wouldn't argue with Sakura over a single sentence.

"Alright, I'll get started then."

Although there were many people around, most of them were in a hurry and did not pay attention to the three primary school students.

After taking out his wand, Xia Yu casually cast "Point the Way," while simultaneously thinking of Xiao Ke's image. The tip of the wand then turned and pointed in a direction.

“Let’s go, Xiao Ke is in this position.”

"it is good!"

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Xiao Ke was at the home of a strange little girl, pondering with some distress how to get home.

After arguing with Sakura, it was still angry and ate a whole box of chocolate liqueurs without permission, and then got drunk.

After getting drunk, he slept in a garbage dump outside for another night, and then, in a daze, he was picked up by a strange little girl.

The little girl was alone at home because she had lost her father and her mother needed to work.

After learning about the little girl's situation, Xiao Ke wanted to leave, but she was very worried about leaving the little girl alone at home. Now she could only think about how to resolve the situation perfectly.

"This can't go on like this..."

Xiao Ke was very conflicted. After sobering up, it spent another whole day with the little girl and gradually realized its mistake.

It acted impulsively because it was angry at the time, and now that its anger has subsided, it regrets it.

Whether it's throwing all of Sakura's belongings out of the drawer without permission, or calling Sakura a monster, both are bad behaviors, and it is indeed wrong of them.

Looking back now, it's understandable that Sakura was angry at the time.

"Ugh...this is so frustrating!"

As she pondered, Xiao Ke rubbed her large head in frustration.

It sat on the ground, watching the little girl hang out to wash clothes, unsure how to end its connection with her.

Although it only stayed there for about a day, it gained a general understanding of the little girl's situation.

The little girl lost her father at a young age and was raised by her mother alone. However, because her mother was busy with work, she could not be with her often, so she became very strong from a young age and got used to being alone at home.

Even though it was only for a short day, it would definitely make the little girl sad if it left without saying goodbye.

"Never mind, I'll send a fax to Sakura first. By this time, Sakura should have already gone home from school."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ke still couldn't come up with a good solution, so she could only temporarily suppress her thoughts of leaving and decided to send a fax to Xiao Ying to let her know that she was safe.

At least let Sakura know her current situation. If she had known, she wouldn't have run away from home. Now she doesn't know how to get back.

dong dong!

Just as Xiao Ke was about to go to the phone to send a fax, there was a knock at the door.

"coming."

The moment she heard the knock, Xiao Ke instinctively pretended to be a doll. The little girl responded and ran to the door with small, bouncy steps.

"Hey~"

The doorknob was a bit too high for the little girl, so she had to stand on tiptoe, grab the doorknob, and use a little force to open the door.

At the same time, outside the door.

As Xia Yu knocked on the door, he put away his wand and said to Sakura beside him, "If nothing unexpected happens, Kero should be inside."

"Hmm... how did Xiao Ke end up at someone else's house?"

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Xiao Ying frowned slightly and said with some worry, "Xiao Ke, what if you exposed yourself and got arrested?"

"I don't know, but even if we get arrested, it's not a big deal. After all, we're not just anyone..."

Before Xia Yu could finish speaking, the sound of the door opening suddenly rang out, so he shut his mouth and looked behind the door.

After the door opened, the little girl came into view of Xia Yu and the others.

When they saw that it was a little girl of about five or six years old who opened the door, instead of the adults they had imagined, Xia Yu and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Tomoyo was the first to react, and with a gentle smile, she asked, "Hello, little friend, are your parents home?"

Faced with Tomoyo's question, the little girl, though puzzled, honestly shook her head: "Mom went to work, and I'm all alone at home."

"Little friend, did you find a yellow toy? It looks like a yellow kitten, but with big, round ears."

"Well……"

Upon hearing Tomoyo's question, the little girl immediately thought of the little pet she had just picked up, the kitten she named "No-No".

No, it's not exactly the same as the little doll the lady in front of me described, but no, it's not a doll.

Seeing that the little girl was thinking and did not answer immediately, Tomoyo thought of another possibility and asked in a different way.

"By the way, although I just said it was a doll, it's actually a living thing, and it can move."

Upon hearing this, the little girl realized that the older brothers and sisters in front of her had come to find Bu Bu.

Does this mean she's going to have to part ways with Bu Bu?

Although she was very reluctant, since the original owner had come looking for her, she couldn't hide it anymore, because she had already noticed that the short-haired sister among the three people in front of her had an anxious and worried expression on her face.

"I……"

"Wow!!!"

Before the little girl could speak, a gasp suddenly came from inside the house.

"no no!"

"Xiao Ke!!"

The little girl and Sakura exclaimed at the same time, then hurriedly went inside and ran towards the direction from which the sound came.

When they arrived at the location from which the sound came, they saw that everything around them, including Xiao Ke, was floating in the air, as if an invisible buoyancy was lifting them up.

"This is!!"

Sakura, who was the first to run in, saw this scene and sensed the faint aura of the Clow Cards around her. She immediately realized that it was the Clow Cards causing trouble again.

Just as she was about to unseal the wand, she suddenly realized there was someone else beside her—the little girl who had also run in.

Should we unseal the wand in front of the little girl?

Just as Sakura hesitated, the little girl suddenly floated up as well, and even she herself felt a buoyancy.

"magical!"

Just then, Xia Yu, who was a step behind, arrived in time and threw out a Clow Card with intricate patterns.

In an instant, the illusion card pulled the floating little girl into the illusion, and Xia Yu's voice rang out at the same time.

"Don't worry about being exposed, Sakura. That child is already trapped in an illusion. You can now focus on resolving this strange phenomenon!"

"it is good!"

Sakura nodded in response, reached out and took out her key necklace, then held it in her palm.
