After finishing his work, Gensou returned to his office, intending to enjoy some tea and scenery and rest. Just then, there was a knock at the door. He instinctively looked up and saw Kinomoto Sakura standing there. The girl smiled at him and beckoned him over. The boy smiled back, stood up, and entered the world where Kinomoto Sakura was.
"Sakura, what's wrong? Did you make something delicious again?"
Yuanxiang walked over to the child and looked at her with a smile, saying:
"Is it a cookie or a small cake?"
"Huh? Gensou-nii, how did you guess?"
Kinomoto Sakura looked at Gengo in surprise. She had taken off her apron and gloves, and there was no trace of her working in the kitchen. Why was she still found out so easily?
"Humph."
Gengo reached out his hand towards Kinomoto Sakura, fanned himself in that direction, and said with a smile:
"Sakura smells so strongly of milk; if I still couldn't guess it, then I'm not a qualified detective!"
"hey-hey......"
Hearing this, Kinomoto Sakura subconsciously raised her arm and sniffed it, then gave Genji a sheepish grin, before casually hugging Genji's arm and gently pulling him along as she spoke:
"Since you guessed it, come in and have a taste! I learned this recipe from the head chef of the Zhi family, so the taste is sure to be amazing!"
Seeing the confident Sakura Kinomoto, Gengo smiled and followed her into the house. Facing them was Tomoyo Daidouji, a girl with her hair in a ponytail, wearing an apron and oven mitts, carrying a baking tray and smiling as she greeted them:
"The timing is just right. Come on, sit down. These cookies taste best when they're hot."
"Alright, alright, let me try it."
Gengo pulled his hand away from Kinomoto Sakura, and with a wave of his hand, he took a cookie. The boy sniffed it and said with a smile:
"Just smelling this makes my mouth water. This skill is enough to open a shop."
"Brother Yuanxiang really knows how to make girls happy."
Daidouji Tomoyo chuckled and teased Gengo. She removed her gloves, took off her headband, and gently shook her head, letting her long, smooth black hair cascade over her shoulders. Then she sat down next to Kinomoto Sakura and said:
"If Brother Yuanxiang were willing to publish a book about this, it would definitely be a bestseller."
"The book is called 'One Hundred Ways to Make Your Child Happy'."
Gensou popped the cookie into his mouth, chewing as he replied, nodding in satisfaction and giving Kinomoto Sakura a thumbs-up. Of course, everyone understood that he was praising the cookie's taste, not that he thought the book's title was good.
"By the way, Gensou-nii, what's Nanoha busy with?"
After eating a few cookies, Kinomoto Sakura asked curiously. After all, Takamachi Nanoha was a relatively lively person in the chat group, and she could usually be seen popping up during the day, especially after she finished her summer homework. But this time, she was unusually quiet.
"this....."
"Is it because of Gensou-nii?"
Just as Gengo was about to say something, Daidouji Tomoyo, who was standing nearby, seemed to have read something from the boy's actions and curiously added a question. Gengo paused, and after a moment's thought, the boy softly said:
“Sakura, I might need 'brand creation' help.”
287 Sakura Kinomoto's Determination
"Should we create a brand?"
As Sakura Kinomoto took out the Clow Cards, she asked curiously:
"Brother Yuanxiang, how can I help you?"
"Summon the Clow Cards first."
Genji didn't reply, but instead asked Kinomoto Sakura for help. The child didn't say much either, stood up, took two steps back, took out the pendant that had been formed from her magic wand, and whispered earnestly:
"Key that conceals the power of darkness, reveal your true strength before me! Sakura, who made a pact with you, commands you: Release the seal! Thecreate!"
As the Clow Cards were activated, a book with a brown spine and dark orange front and back appeared. A prominent green and brown star symbol filled the cover, and another, noticeably smaller, narrow book in the center of the back cover. Kinomoto Sakura took out a pen, opened the book, and looked at Gengo, saying:
"Brother Yuanxiang, what do you need from me?"
"Sakura, wait a minute, Kero, what would happen if Sakura used the Clow Cards on me?"
Yuanxiang glanced at the guardian beast beside him, who was happily eating a biscuit. The little doll-like creature patted its chest, swallowed what was in its mouth, and then said nonchalantly:
"If you don't resist, there won't be any problems. However, although Sakura has grown a lot during this time, there is still a gap between her and you. If I use the Creation Card on you, Sakura's magic power probably won't last long. Hmm... about three minutes? Any longer and Sakura will faint from excessive magic power consumption."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Sakura, you'll have to work hard today."
Hearing this, Genji apologized to the child in front of him. Kinomoto Sakura quickly shook her head, her curiosity growing stronger, and asked softly:
"Brother Yuanxiang, what exactly is it?"
"Sakura, write it like this."
"Uh-huh."
Sakura Kinomoto lowered her head slightly, gripping the pen tighter in sync with Gengo's movements. Then, Gengo said in a low voice:
"Gengo, the head of the Fuuto Detective Agency..."
As she wrote, Kinomoto Sakura murmured earnestly.
"Gengo, the head of the Fuuto Detective Agency..."
"The heart can grow back as quickly as possible."
"May your heart recover as soon as possible..."
'Click!'
The repetition abruptly ended with the crisp sound of a pencil tip snapping. Kinomoto Sakura, Daidouji Tomoyo, and Cerberus all stared wide-eyed at Genji, at the boy with a slightly helpless smile on his face. Genji shrugged and said casually:
"It's nothing. I've been fighting a tough battle lately, but a friend helped me repair the initial shape of my heart. It needs to grow back on its own, and I can't wait, so I came to bother Sakura."
After all, you're in the same group as Nanoha, so it won't be long before you find out about this...
"Brother Yuanxiang, may I... take a look?"
At this moment, Sakura Kinomoto spoke in a trembling voice. Tomoyo Daidouji, standing nearby, sharpened her pencil again while glancing at Gengo, clearly supporting her friend's idea. Gengo, however, shook his head without hesitation, offering his advice:
"There's nothing to look forward to, and it's actually quite scary. I don't want to leave you with any bad memories."
"Brother Yuanxiang, I want to see!"
This time, the question became a statement. Sakura Kinomoto, the child, became stubborn in front of Genji, her large, unyielding eyes fixed on him. The boy sighed helplessly, then, feigning weakness, picked her up and teased, "..."
"Sakura, do you know what you're saying? I'm really embarrassed by what you're saying~~"
Please don't change the subject!
Sakura Kinomoto gently tapped the table with her Sou card, then looked at Gengo and pouted in dissatisfaction, saying:
"We're going to see it today! At worst... at worst, they'll take responsibility!"
? !
Upon hearing this, Gensou was immediately taken aback. Daidouji Tomoyo, standing nearby, seemed to be adding fuel to the fire, smiling and raising her little hand softly, saying:
"They're capable."
"Um......"
Cerberus glanced at Gengo, silently picked up two cookies to cover his eyes, then shifted his position and turned away, radiating disgust. Gengo lightly flicked the back of Cerberus's head, then chuckled and teased Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji, saying:
"What have you two kids been watching all day? You're in elementary school! When I was your age, I'd be so shy holding hands with a girl in my class, okay? Hmm... has the world really changed?"
'stare.......'
Sakura Kinomoto made no attempt to respond, simply staring intently at Genji. The boy shook his head helplessly, tossed his jacket aside, unbuttoned his white shirt, and removed the small panels covering his front and back, revealing his empty chest and the constantly flashing "Holy Light."
'Clatter...'
Sakura Kinomoto stared blankly at the wound. To be honest, she was a little uneasy, especially since the flesh and blood on the side of the wound were visible at the edges, which made her instinctively uncomfortable. But then she thought that this was Gengo's injury, the pain he had endured. All her discomfort and distracting thoughts vanished, leaving only heartache and lingering fear welling up in her eyes, dripping onto the wound plaque. Seeing this, Tomoyo Daidouji also lost her grip on her pencil and dropped it, her eyes blurry with tears. Only Kei, after a slight pause, flew over and patted the boy's shoulder, as if praising him as a hero.
"I already told you, there's nothing to see here. Tell me, don't cry, don't cry, I'm still alive, aren't I?"
Gengo quickly dressed and wiped away the tears of Kinomoto Sakura and Daidouji Tomoyo. But then, Kinomoto Sakura grasped Gengo's hand, feeling its coldness, and said in a trembling voice with a sob:
"But you almost left me forever...like my mother, leaving me forever..."
At the same time, Daidouji Tomoyo reached out and grasped Gengo's wrist. Although she didn't say anything, she used considerable force, as if she could share some of Gengo's pain.
"...At least I'm still by your side now."
Gengo used the power of 'Luna' to appear behind them, gently embraced the two children, and softly whispered:
"Forget about all this nonsense. Right now, I'm still embracing you all, aren't I?"
"...It's not some random junk."
Hearing Gengo's words of comfort, Kinomoto Sakura wiped away her tears, sniffled, picked up her pen, and whispered:
"Gengo's matter is not some messy thing. I hope Gengo, the head of the Fuuto Detective Agency, can have his heart grow back as soon as possible."
As the words were left on the plaque, Genji felt a surge of magical power flowing into his body. This power was no less than that of Hayate Yagami and Nanoha Takamachi. The boy took a deep breath and let the magical power penetrate his body. Then, the light in his chest suddenly burst forth and spread along his blood vessels to his whole body, bulging out like tree roots. His originally handsome face now looked quite ferocious.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Kinomoto Sakura also felt her magic power pouring out like water. The girl, experiencing this for the first time, was clearly struggling to keep up and could only grit her teeth and persevere. However, just a minute later, Genji reached out and closed the Souichi card. Looking at the girl who seemed about to continue, he softly said:
"That's enough. I feel much better now. Haste makes waste. Let it grow on its own for a while before we talk about it."
Indeed, although it was only a short minute, the ball of light in his chest had already taken the shape of a heart. This was a good sign. Yuanxiang felt that his dizziness had improved a lot. He thought that if he were to take action, he shouldn't have to worry too much about it causing his operation to be distorted.
"Okay, Yuanxiang-gege."
Seeing the still-protruding veins on Genjo's body, Kinomoto Sakura and Daidouji Tomoyo, feeling uncertain about his condition, helped him to a chair on either side, wiping his sweat with their sleeves and asking with concern:
"Does it... still hurt?"
"To be honest, there is still a little, but it doesn't have a big impact. Wait, someone's coming."
Just then, Gensou suddenly realized something and hurriedly spoke up. The two children also quickly returned to their seats. As the doorbell rang, Kinomoto Sakura stood up and called out:
"Here it is, who is it?"
"It's me, Sakura."
Judging from the tone of the reply, it seemed to be someone Sakura Kinomoto knew. The child, as expected, unexpectedly called out:
"Brother Snow Rabbit, what brings you here? Please come in."
At Sakura Kinomoto's greeting, a handsome young man with glasses, a well-fitting cream-colored vest, and white hair appeared before Gengo. His gentle smile made it clear he was an easy person to get along with. Gengo stood up, smiled, and extended his hand, saying:
"Hello, my name is Yuanxiang."
