355 Bento Demon and Bento God

Although Hiiragi Eriol spoke sincerely, Gengo still felt that this guy was fooling him. Mainly, his squinty eyes, which were too similar to Clow Reed's, made people feel that this guy was deliberately mysterious. However, since he still needed Sakura's help for the time being, he could let him go and do his thing for now. Anyway, there was the dimensional chat group, so if things didn't go well, he could be kicked out directly.

"So, what kind of play do you need me to act in?"

Yuanxiang thought for a moment, then changed the subject and asked curiously:

"Is it because I got beaten up by you, and then Sakura got so angry that she came over and beat you up again?"

"Not quite that brutal, but... pretty much."

Hiiragi Eriol smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said softly:

"Although we have Tomoyo and Cerberus, and the plan is already quite complete, I believe that if you were here, Sakura would definitely be able to complete her first power transformation. That's beyond doubt."

Ah... Is it because even I have been defeated, so I need new power to defeat the enemy and then transform the Clow Cards in one fell swoop?

Hmm... This routine works. I was beaten half to death by a monster before the Joker finally responded to me and transformed by entering the Lost Driver. I'll just have to let this kid pin me down.

Genji nodded, indicating that he understood everything, and then looked at Eriol Hiiragi and said:

"I understand. Come find me when you need me. Of course, you must let me know in advance before you take any action, otherwise I may not be able to cooperate with you."

"Do not worry."

Hiiragi Eriol said with a smile:

"I'll come back to you after I've confirmed that."

After the Moon Trial, I think you'll definitely be able to provoke Sakura.

Hiiragi Eriol smiled, not uttering the words above. Now that this matter was over, Genji naturally prepared to discuss the remnant soul of Clow Reed and end the conversation. At that moment, a flash appeared in Hiiragi Eriol's hand, and the wand from Clow Reed appeared in his hand. Then, a gentle magical light poured down on Genji. Under the illumination of this power, the boy felt a strange lightness on his body, as if something had been taken away.

"You have some health issues, and they involve too many causes and effects. Now that we're partners, I'll help you alleviate them a bit for the time being. However, I'm sorry, I can't expend too much energy during this period. I need to keep an eye on the changes outside."

"Changes outside?"

This statement made Genji raise an eyebrow in surprise. His intuition told him that this 'outside' was probably not something from this world. Otherwise, Eriol Hiiragi, who possessed all of Clow Reed's magic power, wouldn't be so cautious.

"As you guessed, it's definitely not 'outside' in the literal sense."

Hiiragi Eriol wiped his hand on the cup, and milk tea appeared out of thin air inside. The same thing happened on Genji's side. This reincarnation of Clow Reed pushed up his glasses and said with a solemn expression:

“Since some time ago, I have sensed that a mysterious force is watching this place. It is not a covetous gaze from the universe, but a gaze from another universe. I used magic to cut off all those guys’ ‘gaze’ and gave them a warning, but I still have a feeling that those guys will not let it go so easily.”

At this point, Eriol Hiiragi suddenly chuckled again, looking at Genjiro, whose expression had become serious, and said:

"Don't worry too much. To be honest, it's because Clow Reed's magic is too strong that I was able to detect and stop the other universe from making any moves against us. So as long as I'm here, this plane is still safe. Don't worry. In any case, this is Clow Reed's hometown, and it's also my hometown. I won't allow anyone with ulterior motives to come here and cause trouble."

"Haha, every world really has its own set of problems..."

Gengo sighed helplessly and whispered to Hiiragi Eriol:

"I understand. As I always say, if you need any help, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm quite experienced in protecting the world. By the way, Hiiragi Eriol, do you know that there's a remnant soul of Clow Reed near the Kinomoto family's residence?"

"Oh? I really can't recall any related memories."

Upon hearing this, Hiiragi Eriol raised his eyes slightly in surprise and said softly:

"I'll go take a look later, but I think it's probably a means to protect or guide Sakura. Hehehe, to be honest, sometimes I can't help but wonder if Sakura is Clow Reed's biological daughter. The protections they put on her always feel unbelievable to me."

"Perhaps it's because Clow Reed foresaw Sakura's cuteness a long time ago."

Yuanxiang smiled, spread his hands, stood up, and said:

"Let's go, since we're already here, let's go take a look over there. That Clow Reed helped me a lot, I should thank him properly."

"No, you go first, I'll wait a bit."

Hiiragi Eriol rejected Gen's suggestion, leaning back in his chair and saying softly:

"This is not the time for me to appear. Sakura's magic power is increasing very quickly, and her connection with Clow Reed might cause unnecessary trouble between us. As for that remnant soul, I will wait until tonight, when everyone is asleep, to go and see it."

"Alright, I'll be going now. I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration in the future, Hiiragi Eriol."

"Yes, it will be very enjoyable."

Hiiragi Eriol smiled and waved goodbye to Gengo, then continued sipping his milk tea, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, when Gensou was passing by the Kinomoto family's house and preparing to open the door to return to his office, he suddenly heard a strange, low cough. The boy looked around in confusion and finally saw Kero cautiously peeking out of the second-floor window of the Kinomoto family's house, coughing at him.

Gensou looked around to make sure there were no pedestrians, then leaped up and jumped directly to the second floor, smoothly entering the Kinomoto house and Kinomoto Sakura's room. However, there was nothing to worry about; it was decorated in a cute, childlike style, just like Nanoha's room. The only thing that seemed a bit out of place was the video game console that was turned on, which looked like Kero was playing.

"Wow, that's great! You're such a lifesaver! Your presence here is a huge help."

Xiao Ke crossed his arms and floated cross-legged in the air, happily flying around Yuanxiang and saying:

"Otherwise, I'll have to go out. Hurry, see that bento over there? Sakura, that clumsy girl, even forgot about this. Genji, hurry up and deliver it to her, or that child will go hungry at school today."

No, no, no, I need Tomoyo to be there. Even if four or five Sakuras don't bring lunch, lunch won't be a problem.

Gengo silently scoffed to himself, acknowledging the astonishing power of money. But the gifts still had to be given. Tomoyo was a very low-key student; if her maid were to deliver meals to the school, it would likely be a nuisance for her. However…

"What...are you looking at?"

After noticing Yuanxiang's gaze, Xiao Ke nervously stepped in front of the video game, looked at the boy in front of her, and said in a fierce tone like a wild animal guarding its prey:

"Don't do anything reckless! Don't do anything reckless! I finally made it this far. If you dare to suddenly cut off the power, I'll fight you to the death! Really! Really!!"

"Don't be nervous. Look, it's still early before lunch. If I go now, I'll probably just wander around the school aimlessly."

Yuanxiang smiled and rubbed his hands together, saying:

"There must be some King of Fighters games here, come on, let's have a couple of rounds."

"Hehehe, you really overestimate yourself. Fine, since you've come here to be tortured, I'll grant your wish and show you the power of me, Cerberus!"

Xiao Ke quickly saved his current game, then switched to King of Fighters, placed the controller on the ground, and assumed a ready-to-fire stance. Genji smiled slightly, picked up the controller, sat down, and gave Xiao Ke a provocative raise of his eyebrows. And so, the duel was about to begin!

Thirty minutes later, a refreshed Gengo left the Kinomoto house with his bento, leaving Kero on the second floor, who was so exhausted from losing that he looked like he was turning ashen. Now that I think about it, I can understand Hiiragi Eriol's actions. Kero is Clow Reed's familiar. If he were here now, he would definitely be cornered. That bespectacled elementary school student... terrifying indeed.

Sakura Kinomoto's elementary school wasn't far away, and the girl usually went to school on roller skates. So when Gengo arrived at the school, the dismissal bell hadn't rung yet, which made Gengo feel a little disappointed. He should have tormented Kero a little more, watching that stubborn girl slowly being forced to speak... cough cough cough, just kidding.

Genshou greeted the gatekeeper with a smile, registered, and then walked into the school at a leisurely pace. Watching the elementary school students carrying their sports equipment into the storage room as their PE class was about to end, Genshou swung his hand and used the power of 'cyclone' to securely fasten the lunchboxes to his waist. Then he rolled up his sleeves and went to help. The items weren't heavy, just numerous; otherwise, their PE teacher wouldn't have entrusted these children with the task.

Of course, while helping out, Genji also found out Sakura's class location, as a kind of exchange. However, when Genji left...

"Gong-chan, that older brother is so handsome! I wonder which middle school he goes to. If he lives nearby, I'm definitely going to win him over!"

"Hey... Gong-chan, you're being too loud! Be careful someone hears you!"

"What are you afraid of? My mother taught me that if you meet a man you like, you should go for it in one go. Gong-chan, wait for me, I'm coming... Huh? Where did he go?"

Are elementary school students these days so brave?

Gensou, who had teleported to the side, looked at the elementary school girl with a black line on her face, who was standing there looking for the twin-tailed girl she had taken out. Several times she wanted to go over and teach that 'Kou-chan' a lesson, to stop her from focusing on these things, but then she thought that there was no need to get too involved in this kind of thing. They were just elementary school girls, and their love affairs were like fleeting clouds. Who knew what they would fall for next?

Fourth grade? This is it.

Amidst the crisp sound of the school bell and the students' unanimous shouts of "Goodbye, teacher!", Gengo remarked with a touch of admiration for the elementary school teacher who didn't extend class time, then headed straight up the stairs to Kinomoto Sakura's classroom. At the same time, Kinomoto Sakura, who was laughing and talking with Daidouji Tomoyo about going to the rooftop for lunch, froze as soon as she reached into her bag. Seeing this, Daidouji Tomoyo immediately understood and smiled, saying:

"Sakura, did you forget your bento?"

"Uh...that shouldn't be the case..."

Sakura Kinomoto gave an awkward laugh, then took her schoolbag out of the desk drawer, carefully looked through it, and said:

"I clearly remember going in."

"That might have been done by the bento ghost."

At that moment, the squinty-eyed boy sitting to the left and behind Sakura Kinomoto raised his index finger and said softly:

"That kind of ghost loves to play pranks. It especially likes to take good kids' lunchboxes out of their school bags and watch the good kids look hungry. But, as soon as the good kid shouts 'I'm so hungry,' a lunchbox god who is specifically there to fight the lunchbox ghost will 'whoosh' the lunchbox out of the good kid's house and fill the good kid's stomach."

"Really!!!"

Hearing this, Kinomoto Sakura's eyes widened in surprise, clearly believing it, and she prepared to shout it out to see. At this, the twin-tailed girl sitting next to the squinty-eyed man pinched his neck, shook his head, and said angrily:

"Okay, okay, and then, if the bento box doesn't appear, you have to give it to Sakura!"

"Oh dear, oh dear..."

Squinting, he helplessly reached out to free his neck. Just then, Kinomoto Sakura exclaimed "Eh!" and, looking at the bento box that had appeared in front of her, said in surprise:

"I haven't even called out yet, how did the bento box appear?"

"Of course, it's the Bento God himself coming~~~~"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura Kinomoto heard a faint reply behind her. This unexpected turn of events startled her, causing the ahoge (a stray hair on her head) to twitch. She swallowed hard, her neck stiff as she slowly turned around to look...

356 Wow, I exclaimed, "Wow!"

Sakura Kinomoto turned around and saw a dignified tengu mask, which startled her so much she almost screamed. The reason she almost screamed was because the 'tengu' reached out and covered her mouth. Then the person removed the mask and said helplessly:

"You're such a gullible kid."

"Brother Yuanxiang, what brings you here?"

Sakura Kinomoto stood up in surprise, instinctively grabbing Gengo's sleeve, and said in a feigned displeasure:

"Honestly, he even colluded with Yamazaki to lie to me. Whose side is Gengo-nii on anyway?!"

"Which side am I on? Of course I'm on Lezi's side."

Gensou casually placed the solidified 'Luna' mask behind his back, then said with a grin:

"Since there's something fun to watch, I have to lend a hand no matter what."

"Um~~~~"

Hearing this, Kinomoto Sakura stood with her hands on her hips, puffing out her cheeks, and glared at Genji. The boy chuckled, poked her cheek, and then whispered:

"Alright, my lunchbox has arrived. You can eat and rest before class. I'll head over now..."

"Brother Yuanxiang, since you're already here, why don't you eat before you leave?"

At this moment, Daidouji Tomoyo interrupted Gengo, smiling as she grabbed his arm and whispered:

"It's lunchtime now, we can't let you go back hungry."

"Exactly, it's better to have a lively meal."

Sakura Kinomoto grabbed Gengo's other arm, and the two little ones, like escorting a prisoner, led Gengo away from there. The one with squinty eyes and twin tails exchanged a glance, smiled, shrugged, and went to find a place to eat.

Although there were only two bento boxes, Sakura Kinomoto had made some cakes and cookies in her home economics class that morning, and she also bought two yakisoba rolls when she passed by a store, so she managed to make lunch. However...
