Gengo glanced at the bento box in front of him, which was being used as a makeshift lunchbox and was piled high with food. It was clear that most of the rice and meat from Kinomoto Sakura's bento box were on the box, but it didn't look like the bento box was designed to keep him full.
The boy pondered for a moment, looked at Kinomoto Sakura, and seemed to have figured something out. He said thoughtfully:
"How much weight have you gained recently...? Hmm!"
Before he could finish speaking, Gengo silently watched the chopsticks that Sakura was gripping so tightly that they were slightly twisted. He immediately focused on eating his lunch, completely ignoring the blushing Sakura beside him. Daidouji Tomoyo couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, then, when Sakura wasn't looking, she whispered:
"Actually, I've only gained three pounds."
"Tomoyo~~~"
"Hey, how much should I pay?"
Gengo smiled, patted Kinomoto Sakura on the shoulder, and squeezed it, saying:
"Look at you, you've only gained a few pounds. Even if you gain three more, it won't be much. Alright, alright, eat in peace. If you don't get enough nutrition now, you won't develop a good figure in the future. Honestly, you kids are all the same."
"Hmm? Is Nanoha like that too?"
Upon hearing this, Sakura Kinomoto's teleportation power shifted to something else, and she curiously looked up at Genji. The boy smiled slightly, his lips full of nostalgia, and said:
"Of course, when was that... well, I can't remember, anyway, around that time a whole weight-loss craze suddenly swept through the country. Not just adults, even kids were obsessed with losing weight. Nanoha was also clamoring to lose another ten pounds, but well..."
Gengo gave a mischievous smile and looked at Kinomoto Sakura, saying:
"In the end, she still lost to fried chicken and fries. But look at her, Nanoha is doing just fine now, right? Not fat, not thin, just right. So, at such a young age, don't think about losing weight. Focus on getting enough nutrition first."
"Oh, I see...?!"
As Kinomoto Sakura listened to the story while eating her bento, she suddenly realized that Gengo had unknowingly put the meat dishes back into his bento box. But this time, Kinomoto Sakura didn't look at the dishes with worry and ate them heartily.
"By the way, Yuanxiang-nii, what brings you here?"
Daidoji Tomoyo gracefully picked up a piece of rice with her small, elegant mouth and asked softly:
"Is there some problem you've encountered that you want to ask the Clow Cards for help?"
"No, I just came here to stroll around."
While eating bread, Yuanxiang casually remarked:
"I bought some snacks from the shopping street last time to take back and eat. They taste pretty good. I think they would be good for entertaining guests. I just didn't expect that as soon as I arrived, I saw Xiao Ke greeting me and that's how I ended up here."
"Oh, I see... It's a pity I have classes this afternoon."
Daidouji Tomoyo answered softly, and Kinomoto Sakura nodded as well. Gengo couldn't help but chuckle, crumpled the plastic bag into a ball, put it in his pocket, and planned to throw it away when he passed a trash can later. At the same time, he said helplessly:
"I'm telling you, I'm an adult, you know. It's a bit much that I need you to lead me around just to buy something. Don't worry... okay?"
Genji suddenly stopped speaking. The boy looked behind him with interest, seemingly noticing something. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he whispered to Kinomoto Sakura:
"What, haven't you noticed yet?"
"...Clow Cards."
Sakura Kinomoto put down the bento box in her hand, looked behind her with a serious expression, and said:
"I can feel it. The Clow Cards are inside the school, no, right here in this building. We need to hurry, or everyone might not be able to concentrate on their classes."
"Indeed, that's true... um?!"
"Brother Yuanxiang?"
Just as Gengo was about to say something, his voice suddenly stopped. Kinomoto Sakura subconsciously turned around and saw a large hole suddenly appear beneath the boy. There was no light in the hole, as if it were about to plunge people into an unknown realm. Under the gaze of Kinomoto Sakura and Daidouji Tomoyo, Gengo's body stiffened and he fell straight down. The two children subconsciously tried to grab him, but Gengo fell too fast, and they couldn't grab him in time.
"This is all the work of the Clow Cards!"
Sakura Kinomoto's expression suddenly changed. Without hesitation, she took out her magic wand, aimed it at the floor, and was about to unleash a magic cannon. Fortunately, the little girl still had some sense of reason. The moment the magic cannon was fully charged, she dissipated the magic power and hurriedly ran towards the rooftop door, intending to first run to the corresponding lower-level room to see if Genjo was still in this school building. Tomoyo Daidouji also hurriedly followed.
Although it's a pity that the sudden arrival of the Clow Cards didn't give me a chance to prepare new clothes for Sakura, and I didn't even bring the camera with me, there's no time to think about that now. Even Genji, who's so powerful, suddenly stopped moving. Who knows what kind of Clow Cards we've encountered this time? It's really unfortunate that Kero isn't here either, so I didn't even have a chance to ask.
"Hey, what's this again...?"
A moment later, Kinomoto Sakura and Daidouji Tomoyo, who had pushed open the rooftop door and were running down, looked at everything in front of them in surprise. Undoubtedly, they seemed to be trapped by some kind of force. They were originally going downstairs, but they ended up back on the rooftop. Kinomoto Sakura bit her lip, turned around and ran downstairs without saying a word, while Daidouji Tomoyo stayed on the rooftop and observed the surrounding situation.
But what she saw was that Kinomoto Sakura, who had originally gone downstairs, suddenly ran back upstairs.
"Are we trapped?"
Although it was phrased as a question, the truth was self-evident: she and Tomoyo were trapped on the rooftop. This proved that what she had sensed earlier wasn't just the aura of a single Clow Card. When Gengo fell, another Clow Card quietly appeared, blocking their path. This strange coincidence left Kinomoto Sakura frantic and at a loss. She desperately wanted to use a single shot to break through all obstacles, but that shot would also cause the students in the building to disappear. She wanted to use "Flying Cards" to leave, but it was broad daylight, and below were scattered students and teachers. She hadn't yet learned Nanoha and Hayate's magical barriers and couldn't use magic to conceal her presence.
"Sakura, don't worry."
Daidouji Tomoyo reached out and hugged Kinomoto Sakura, gently stroking her little head as she said:
“The Clow Cards are not perfect; they must have flaws. You are the Cardcaptor Sakura, so I believe this cannot be hidden from you.”
"Phew, thank you, Tomoyo. It'll definitely work, there won't be any problems."
With her friend's comforting words, Sakura Kinomoto's emotions began to calm down. She took a deep breath, smiled at Tomoyo Daidouji, and then turned and headed towards the stairs again. This time, however, she was much more composed. She slowly descended the steps, searching for the flaw in the Clow Card. She carefully examined the changes here, and finally, she found it. She found the gap in the closed loop. Although the rooftop had not been repaired for a long time, resulting in abnormal color mixing on the walls, it seemed that nothing had changed. However, upon closer inspection, one could still see that something was amiss.
So what should we do next...?
Sakura Kinomoto reached out and rubbed the part that wasn't quite right, then pried it open a couple more times, but she couldn't untangle it. She also struck the spot with her wand, but the Clow Card didn't respond at all. This was troublesome; if she couldn't find the change, everything would become extremely difficult.
and many more......
At that moment, Kinomoto Sakura suddenly remembered something. Gengo once said that deciphering things was a kind of fun that restricted power. So, to borrow Nanoha's words, at this moment, it was time to go all out!
'The Sword Shield!'
Sakura Kinomoto took a deep breath, took out a Clow Card, and guided its power as it flew. The bird-headed wand transformed into a sharp sword. Sakura glared at the stitched gap, and with a burst of energy, she cleaved through the labyrinthine space. At the same time, her keen intuition allowed her to detect the true form of the Clow Card. A flash of light appeared on her wand, and an inexplicable impact pinned the Clow Card firmly to the wall. Then, without a word, the Cardcaptor Sakura, her face grim, swung her wand down, using her immense magical power to subdue the still-troublesome Clow Card.
As the magic receded, a Clow Card with a pattern resembling a Möbius strip slowly fell, displaying the name "THELOOP." This card possessed the magic to divide and combine space, but Sakura Kinomoto couldn't care less about that at the moment. She casually stuffed the Clow Card into her pocket and hurriedly walked away, wanting to find Genji's whereabouts. But as she turned a corner, she bumped into a familiar embrace.
"Hmm, it's already resolved? That was pretty quick. I thought it would take you longer to unravel the secret of this Clow Card."
Gengo put his hand on Kinomoto Sakura's shoulder, creating a slight distance between them, and said in praise:
"Not bad, not bad. Space is something that is usually not easy to judge. As expected of Cardcaptor Sakura."
"Yuanxiang, are you alright?"
Hearing Gengo's praise, Kinomoto Sakura chuckled shyly, but immediately grabbed the boy's sleeve tightly, pressing him for details about his health. Gengo waved his hand dismissively, saying:
"Are you kidding me? What kind of body do you think I have? If a mere Clow Card of this level can hurt me, then I'm just too weak."
No, no, if that Clow Card's power was just that ordinary, Gengo should have been able to break free in one go, and...
Sakura Kinomoto glanced at Genji's hair, which still had dust on it, as if he had been through something. He didn't look like he was alright at all.
Yuanxiang is lying, he's definitely lying!
Thinking about this, Sakura Kinomoto felt a pang of sadness. Partly because Genji had lied to her again, and partly because this time it was all her fault that he had been hurt. If only she had tried harder and collected more Clow Cards, perhaps Genji wouldn't have had to...
"Sakura, wait a minute."
Looking at the child in front of him with her ever-changing expression, Gensou suddenly panicked. To be honest, who knows what kind of nonsense was going through her little mind when she was like this? You have to interrupt her in time. But this time, Gensou was a step too slow. Just as he was about to say something, a powerful magical energy burst out from Kinomoto Sakura.
Well, this kid does have amazing talent. Even without using the Clow Cards, he managed to mimic their power. As for who inspired him, Gensou didn't bother to find out, because he had more important things to deal with right now: he had been caught off guard and had been pinned down by this kid!
357 Wendy, danger!
"It's so embarrassing, really embarrassing," Genji thought, feeling the pain shooting from the back of his head with a complicated expression. He didn't know what to say for a moment. If people found out that a Kamen Rider like himself had been pinned down by an elementary school student, that would be... truly...
No, wait, wait, wait!
Before Gensou could even process what he was feeling, he suddenly felt a cool sensation coming from his waist and abdomen. He quickly grabbed Kinomoto Sakura's small hand and said in a slightly flustered tone:
"What are you doing?! We're still at school!"
“Brother Yuanxiang, stop fooling around. Let me see where you are hurt. With ‘Chuangpai’ here, I can definitely heal you right away.”
Sakura Kinomoto was still tugging at Gengo's clothes with all her might. Although she couldn't match Gengo's strength, she had a lot of magic power. The 'power token' she created was able to hold its own against Gengo for a while. This situation left Tomoyo Daidouji, who was coming down from the rooftop, completely stunned.
Upon hearing this, Gengo immediately understood what was happening. With a flash of moonlight in his hand, he projected his recent experience onto Sakura Kinomoto. It was simple: Gengo had fallen into a classroom that hadn't been used for a long time and had caused a commotion inside in order to grab the Clow Card.
"Why did you stiffen up for a second, Yuanxiang-nii-san...?"
After reading this, Daidouji Tomoyo glanced at the stunned Kinomoto Sakura and asked curiously in a low voice, while Gengo shrugged and replied helplessly:
"For a moment, I actually wanted to go for it again and grab that Kuro card, but then I thought, Sakura has to grab it. So, at that moment, my mind and body were in conflict, which is why you guys looked a little stiff and blank..."
At this point, Gensho said with a hint of resentment in his voice:
"Actually, I shouldn't have hesitated for a second. That Clow Card's ability seems to be able to pass through walls or something. If it escapes, not to mention how to chase it, it would be quite dangerous if it caused trouble."
"........."
Listening to Gengo's rambling, Kinomoto Sakura silently put Gengo's shirt down again, patted it to smooth out the wrinkles, and then obediently stood up from the boy's back. Seemingly calm, in the corner of Daidouji Tomoyo's and Gengo's eyes, the boy's face grew redder and redder until steam actually rose from his head. When he saw Gengo open his mouth as if to say something, he let out a "Wow!", covered his face with his hands, and ran away. Daidouji Tomoyo quickly chased after him, and Gengo took out the Clow Card he had captured in the classroom and threw it into Tomoyo's hand. Then he watched the two children run further and further away.
"What kind of situation is this?"
Yuanxiang dusted himself off and sighed deeply. He felt his credibility as an adult was declining. It seemed he needed to find a way to save himself.
The boy tried to cheer himself up, but he turned back to the agency. No matter what, if he went over there now, Sakura's face wouldn't be calm before class. And if it were Nanoha, she might even...
"Brother Yuanxiang, something's happened!"
"Um?!"
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Just as Gensou picked up his teacup, calmly intending to take a sip, he saw Takamachi Nanoha abruptly push open the office door, looking at the young man with a serious expression and saying:
"Barbara just sent me a message saying that the Emperor of Liyue has died!"
"Click..."
In that instant, several cracks appeared in the teacup in Genji's hand, from which warm tea flowed. The overwhelming killing intent made all the birds and beasts in the entire city of Fuuto tremble. But the next second, Genji seemed to realize something, abruptly suppressing his aura, as if the previous rage had been an illusion. He stood up, casually snapped his fingers, used the power of his memory to evaporate the water stains on his clothes, then changed into a more suitable coat for action, and looked at Takamachi Nanoha, saying:
"Don't panic, I already have a guess. You go to class and I'll just take a look and come right back."
"okay."
Nanoha Takamachi nodded obediently, watching Genji's figure disappear through the 'doorway'. Meanwhile, in Mondstadt, Barbara stared bewildered at Venti's retreating figure as he went off to drink. The bard had suddenly appeared, insisting on relaying this message to Genji, and then vanished in a flash, giving her no chance to ask him anything... Hmm...
Just as Barbara was about to catch up with Venti to ask what was going on, Gensou had already appeared in Liyue, in the cave where she had rescued Klee last time. Inside, a dragon with scales like rocks was lying on the ground, wagging its tail as if in a sweet dream.
Yuanxiang had no intention of letting it have its peaceful dream, and with important matters to attend to, he didn't bother to examine the strange creature any further. He hurriedly took to the wind and headed towards Liyue Harbor. When he arrived there, he indeed noticed that the atmosphere in the town had become quite oppressive. The Liyue people on the road had no smiles on their faces. They had always walked with the gods, and no matter what major events they encountered, as long as they thought that the Emperor was still there, it seemed that nothing mattered. Since the establishment of Liyue Harbor, every command from the Emperor had led Liyue towards a more prosperous and happy future.
But now that the Emperor has passed away, although they can understand it, given his age, they still find it unbelievable and unacceptable when the day actually comes.
Of course, there were two exceptions. Yuanxiang saw Hu Tao walking through the streets in high spirits. As the head of the Hall of Rebirth, the matter of the Emperor's funeral naturally fell on her shoulders. All kinds of etiquette and the necessary offerings needed to be arranged properly. According to this girl's personality, she was probably so excited that she could hardly sleep at night. After all, she was someone who had almost seen through life and death, and she was holding a huge business deal that was unprecedented.
The other one is Zhongli, who is sitting in a teahouse, enjoying tea and listening to stories.
"You arrived earlier than I expected."
