The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

This is an indispensable water balloon fishing activity at festivals. As a classic fun activity, this scene has appeared in both "Crayon Shin-chan" and "Chibi Maruko-chan".

Looking at the water sphere floating on the water's surface, Sakura rubbed her hands together, eager to try it out.

When the others in the group saw Sakura's excited expression, they smiled and stopped strolling around.

Since Sakura wants to play, let's play together. After all, Sakura is the group's darling, so naturally we'll spoil her.

The rules for fishing for water balloons are simple: just use a line and hook to catch the water balloon floating in the water, and you've succeeded.

However, while it sounds simple, it is quite difficult to play. After all, the hook is made of twisted paper, which will break easily when wet and with a little force. The difficulty is no less than playing a claw machine.

But Sakura doesn't think that much about it; she's always been carefree and naturally finds it hard to notice such details.

Paji~

As expected, the first attempt failed; the hook broke, and the water balloon fell straight into the pool, splashing some water.

Sakura wiped the water off her face, her fighting spirit ignited; she would never give up!

However, if the method is wrong, no matter how hard you try, you will not succeed.

Sakura, fueled by her fighting spirit, tried several times, but each time the hook broke, and she finally gave up, feeling somewhat discouraged.

Seriously, why is it so hard to catch water balloons?

Sakura grumbled inwardly as she squatted beside the pool, her eyes fixed on one of the red water spheres.

She really wanted that red water balloon, but she had tried to fish for it several times without success.

Do you want the red one?

Just then, Yukito suddenly squatted down with a smile and asked Sakura softly.

Sakura nodded, having received her answer. Yukito then waved to the shopkeeper: "Boss, please give me a hook."

After taking the line and hook from the shopkeeper, Yukito casually hooked the red water ball floating on the surface of the water and easily caught it. Then he held the water ball up and handed it to Sakura.

"Give."

Seeing Yukito's gentle, smiling face, Sakura blushed slightly and hurriedly accepted the gift, saying, "Thank you!"

After handing the water balloon to Sakura, Yukito asked for another hook and cast it with a casual flick of his wrist, catching another water balloon.

This time, he stood up with the water balloon in his hand and handed it to Touya, who seemed to have been somewhat distracted and absent-minded since the beginning.

"Touya, this is yours."

Touya, who had been in a daze, snapped out of it upon hearing this. He looked at Yukito, who had handed him the water balloon, and snorted, "Hmph, who wants something that only a child would like?"

However, despite saying that, his actions betrayed him, as he directly reached out and took the water ball that Yukito handed him.

Sensing Yukito's concern for him, Touya's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

"Oh my, you may say no, but your body is quite honest."

Okay, the smile that had been on her face vanished instantly.

Touya's forehead veins bulged as he glared at a child with a mocking smile, clearly displeased.

"You brat, who are you talking about?!"

"Whoever agrees is the one we're talking about."

Xia Yu chuckled, ignoring Touya's gradually reddening face, and looked at Tomoyo, who was silently observing beside him just like him.

"Tomoyo, do you want one? I can help you catch one."

"Well……"

Hearing this, Tomoyo wanted to say that she was already happy just watching Sakura and the others play, but then she changed her mind and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Natsu-san."

"Got it."

Touya, who had originally wanted to tease Xia Yu, could only hum twice to express his dissatisfaction when he saw Xia Yu suddenly go to fish for water balloons for Tomoyo again.

That brat is really not cute!

Within minutes, the group left the water balloon stall.

However, before they had gone very far, Sakura and Tomoyo suddenly noticed another pair of beautiful women walking together at the other entrance of the shrine.

From a distance, the two appeared to be holding hands.

"Chiharu! Yamazaki!"

As the two approached, they realized that the newcomers were Yamazaki and Chiharu from the same class. Sakura waved cheerfully to greet them, which also attracted Yamazaki and Chiharu's attention.

"Yo!"

Yamazaki walked over with a smile, raised his hand in greeting, and Chiharu waved back, saying goodnight.

"Are you two new here too?" Sakura asked curiously, looking at Yamazaki and Chiharu who were walking side by side.

"Ah."

Chiharu smiled slightly: "I heard it from Naoko, because Naoko really likes shrines and temples. However, Naoko and Rika have piano lessons tonight, so it was just Yamazaki and me who came."

"Really? Then you must have fun!"

Sakura once again used her universal answer.

Xia Yu, standing to the side, was observing the conman and the girl with twin tails, both dressed in kimonos. He had just noticed that their kimonos seemed to be a matching set.

Yamazaki's kimono is mainly light blue with a green crocodile pattern, while Chiharu's kimono is mainly pink with a red goldfish pattern.

The red and blue colors together form a perfect red and blue duo.

However, it seems only he understands this pairing, since the old saying "red and blue make a perfect couple" hasn't appeared in this era yet.

At least in his memory, this meme was popularized by the couple Kyoko Sakura and Sayaka Miki from "Puella Magi Madoka Magica".

Even without this meme, Chiharu and Yamazaki, childhood sweethearts, are indeed lovers, an old married couple who have been together since kindergarten.

"It's great to be young."

Looking at the well-matched Yamazaki and Chiharu, Xia Yu sighed like an old man.

Snapped--!

Suddenly, a faint gunshot rang out nearby. The sound was not loud, and it sounded more like a toy gun than a real one.

The group of people who were chatting suddenly turned around and saw that not far away, Li Xiaolang was holding a toy gun and shooting at the prizes on the stall.

"Is Li alone?"

Sakura looked at Li Xiaolang, who was all alone, and suddenly felt a little sad. She knew that going to a festival was more fun with friends, but Li Xiaolang seemed to be all alone.

If there's another event like this next time, let's invite Li to join us.

With this thought in mind, Sakura walked towards Li Xiaolang, who was firing a gun, and the others followed suit.

On the other side, at the shooting stall.

Li Xiaolang skillfully inserted rubber bullets into the toy gun in his hand, then raised it and aimed it at the rag doll placed on the high platform.

After finishing his sword practice tonight, he wanted to come out for some fresh air, but somehow he ended up here. Although summer festivals and temple fairs are different, the same liveliness still evoked his childhood memories.

He understood the principle of balancing work and rest, so he entered the ceremony to relax.

Snapped--!

Another shot was fired, and a green monster doll fell to the ground.

Seeing that he had won another prize, Li Xiaolang's lips curled up slightly. Although it was simple to play, it was quite interesting.

Just as he was aiming at the next rag doll and preparing to fire, he suddenly heard a sound beside his ear.

"You hit the target! That's amazing!"

"Eh?!"

Li Xiaolang shuddered and looked behind him in surprise. He didn't know when, but five people had gathered behind him, all of whom were his classmates.

Damn it, he didn't even notice. I really can't let my guard down too much.

However, compared to Li Xiaolang's surprise, Xiaoying was even more surprised. She pointed incredulously to the large pile of prizes on the booth.

"Did you get all of these by yourself, Li?"

"Yes...yes."

Although he didn't know when Sakura and the others arrived, Li Xiaolang still answered Sakura's question.

Just as Li Xiaolang was about to continue sweeping up the prizes on the stall and teach the owner a lesson, Xue Tu also arrived at the stall at some point. He softly praised, "You're really amazing."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolang's face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and his heart pounded wildly.

He hurriedly rummaged through his pile of prizes and pulled out a bunch of snacks, then quickly handed them to Snow Rabbit.

Faced with the pile of snacks that Li Xiaolang handed over, Xue Tu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and asked, "Are you giving these to me?"

Li Xiaolang kept his head down, his eyes darting around, and he didn't dare to look at Xue Tu's expression. He just nodded and nodded.

"Thank you." Snow Rabbit smiled gently and reached out to take the snacks from Li Xiaolang.

Seeing this, Touya's initial dislike for Xia Yu instantly shifted. Compared to the unlovable Xia Yu, this brat was definitely more annoying.

Despite his dislike for the child, he wouldn't do anything about it, because he knew that Yukito would never like such a brat. That was his composure.
