"........."
However, Judge Yue said nothing. He stared coldly at Kinomoto Sakura. Instantly, the moonlight transformed into a barrier, isolating Kero and Tomoyo from the outside. At the same time, Kinomoto Sakura felt a magical force enveloping her. Although she felt that this magical force was not an unstoppable power, she did not resist because of something in mind. She simply obediently allowed Judge Yue to take her to the top of the tower, where she faced him in the moonlight.
"I understand why Gensou-nii's attitude towards Yukito-nii was so strange. It was because of you!"
Kinomoto Sakura gripped her magic wand with both hands, looked at the angelic judge before her, and said in a deep voice:
"You can't hide it from me. I can sense it, I can clearly perceive it."
“That’s right, Yukito Tsukishiro and I are like two sides of the same coin.”
Judge Yue also stated frankly:
“Gengo is the most terrifying guy I’ve ever met besides Clow Reed. If he had made a move back then, I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to stand in front of you again. But... for now, that guy is irrelevant.”
The judge, Yue Gao, raised his hand high, reached out and grasped Yue Hui, and whispered:
"That guy won't show up here to save you, nor can he interfere with this trial... Kerberos, what are you trying to do?"
At this point, the judges Yue and Kinomoto Sakura's attention was suddenly drawn to the roar from below the tower. They saw that Kero had shed his doll-like disguise and transformed into a two-winged tiger. His fierce appearance made it hard to believe that this was the same Kero who loved to eat and play and was carefree all day long.
"Moon, I've already told you, the Clow Cards aren't all collected yet, you have no excuse..."
"Today is the day of judgment. I am the judge. What I say goes. This is the duty that Clow Reed has entrusted to me. You... don't try to cause trouble."
"I understand."
At that moment, Sakura Kinomoto pointed her wand at the Judge Yue and said seriously:
"Since this is a trial, then make it clear what you're judging, what will happen after the trial, or are you going to take action directly like this!"
“Sakura..…”
Not to mention Keroberos, even Hiiragi Eriol, who was secretly watching from the side, was startled. He looked at Genji's hair in his hand and suddenly felt that he might not be able to use it anymore.
"...The judgment will naturally be whether you can become the master of the Clow Cards."
Judge Yue was also taken aback for the first time by Kinomoto Sakura's firm stance. He paused for a moment, looked at the child before him, and said softly:
"If you pass the trial, I will assist you and become your familiar; but if you fail... the Clow Cards and those associated with them will lose their feelings for their favorite people."
"what?!"
Upon hearing this, Daidouji Tomoyo couldn't help but cry out, instinctively looking at Kero, hoping to get a more accurate answer from him.
"Yes, that's absolutely right."
Xiao Ke nodded helplessly and explained:
"The Clow Cards value the person who sealed them and signed their names. So when that person is not suitable to be their master, in order to avoid making the Clow Cards too sad, they will forget the feelings they have for their beloved. This also applies to those who are related to the Clow Cards. After all, only when both parties forget each other can the so-called fate and karma be completely severed."
"Well... I'm sorry, Snow Rabbit Bro!"
Upon hearing Xiao Ke's words, a flicker of hesitation and reluctance crossed Kinomoto Sakura's face, but her expression quickly hardened, her delicate features radiating fighting spirit as she spoke in a deep voice:
"Sakura will go easy on you and apologize properly afterward, but right now, I absolutely cannot lose. If I lose the power of the Clow Cards, I will never be able to save Gengo-nii again. So... I will win!"
Who has influenced Sakura so much?
Upon hearing this, Hiiragi Eriol stopped watching. There was no need anymore. The only reason to prevent Kinomoto Sakura from failing was gone, and the outcome of this trial was no longer in doubt.
"Sakura is growing up quite fast."
At that moment, Eriol Hiiragi saw Genji leaning against a tree trunk and said with a soft laugh:
"I just didn't expect that child would be so willing to help me. Hmm... I have to record it so I can play it for Sakura sometime in the future."
"You'll die from Sakura's magical cannon sooner or later."
Hiiragi Eriol couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, then tossed the hair in his hand aside and said with a smile:
"It seems I was overthinking things. The chosen child wasn't as fragile as I imagined. Plus, with those amazing means of connecting with the outside world, she's growing up faster than I expected."
"That's...that's Sakura."
Gengo smiled and snapped his fingers at Hiiragisawa Eriol, as if showing off his own treasure, then pointed at Kinomoto Sakura before slowly walking towards the Judgment Grounds.
"What are you trying to do? Sakura doesn't need your help... Oh, I understand."
Hiiragisawa Eriol adjusted his glasses and looked at Gengo, saying:
“That works. If you can do it, it will make things much easier. I won’t show myself. I will appear in front of Sakura after she has collected all the Clow Cards. So, Genji, don’t give me away beforehand.”
Genji didn't speak, but simply made an OK sign to the boy behind him. Then, in a flash, he silently passed behind Kero and Daidouji Tomoyo, arriving at the other side of the tower without a sound, looking at the Judge Yue who was locked by magic.
412 Goodbye Madoka Kaname
On the tower, the battle between Sakura Kinomoto and Judge Yue continued, but Judge Yue was clearly at a disadvantage. After all, Sakura Kinomoto's fighting style was no longer entirely reliant on the power of the Clow Cards. With the help of her friends like Nanoha Takamachi, the girl's control over her own magical power had also improved significantly. Furthermore, although Sakura Kinomoto had not yet collected all the Clow Cards, the number was almost there. Her growth was something no one could ignore.
Therefore, under the bright light of the magic cannon, Judge Yue completely gave up hope of victory, closed his eyes, and prepared to meet the impact of the magic. But at that moment, Kinomoto Sakura deftly deflected the cannon, letting the astonishing magic graz Judge Yue's side.
"I won, didn't I?"
Sakura Kinomoto twirled her wand with a flourish, walked up to the Judge Yue, looked at the aloof familiar, and said softly:
"Do you have any other tests? I'm fine with that, I'll accept them all!"
"......there is none left."
Judge Yue paused for a moment, then shook her head and said softly:
"It's over. The trial is over."
"...Moon, you really like Mr. Clow Reed, don't you?"
Looking at the somewhat dejected judge before her, Sakura Kinomoto's expression softened, and she said softly to him:
"In that case, you should understand how painful it is to forget someone you like... Um, although I'm still a child and can't use as much magic as Mr. Clow Reed, I will try my best."
Kinomoto Sakura extended her hands to the judge, Tsuki, and said with a smile:
"Not as a host, but as a friend, let's continue to work together in the future."
"........"
Judge Yue raised his head and met the girl's gaze. Seeing the sincerity in her eyes, he silently stood up and said in a flat, even tone:
"Close your eyes."
"Eh? Okay."
Kinomoto Sakura paused for a moment, then obediently closed her eyes. At the same time, Yue's wings spread out to the sides, each feather swaying gently in the breeze.
"The trial is over. I, Judge Yue, hereby declare Sakura to be our new master."
"Hmph, at least this guy is being a little more frank."
Hearing this, Cerberus let out a long sigh of relief and then deactivated his winged tiger form, reverting to his usual doll-like appearance. Simultaneously, under the moon's magic, Kinomoto Sakura gently landed on the ground with him. Sakura opened her eyes, looked at Daidouji Tomoyo before her, happily hugged her, and shouted:
"I succeeded!"
"Hmm, as expected of Sakura, I've already recorded your charm perfectly."
"Moon, you didn't start the trial early because you felt you wouldn't be able to win if it dragged on any longer, did you?"
"Hmph, you still talk as much as ever."
Yue didn't say much, continuing to stand there aloofly, offering no explanation. Xiao Ke, knowing his personality, didn't say anything either, but simply circled around him, saying:
"Alright, alright, stop looking so serious. We all need to work hard together from now on. But let's skip it for today, it's getting late. Sakura, don't forget you haven't finished your homework yet, you have class tomorrow."
As soon as they finished speaking, Xiao Ke and Yue heard the child's mournful cry, which made the corners of their mouths turn up slightly in unison.
"However, there are still some things to take care of before I leave."
However, at that moment, Yue stopped in her tracks. Instead of following Sakura Kinomoto, who was shouting, "Hurry back and do your homework!", she looked towards the nearby woods and said softly:
"When the wind became unusual, I should have realized it was you who had appeared. Now the moonlight is no longer shining as usual. I wonder what your plans are?"
"You're such a boring person."
Tsuki's words immediately caught the attention of Kinomoto Sakura and the others, who tensed up and became alert. But hearing the familiar voice coming from the woods... well, they still couldn't relax. After all, if Gensou got stubborn, Daidouji Tomoyo could only sigh and rub her forehead in exasperation.
"You were planning to give us a surprise after we parted, but you've already shown up before me. To be honest, that Yukito Tsukishiro is much cuter than you."
In the shadows of the woods, Gensou's figure gradually became clear. He slowly walked into the moonlight, looked at the judge Yue before him, and said softly:
"That's fine, I'm short on time, so I'll just consider it saving some time. Come on, stand still. Although your situation is a bit special, it's not a difficult thing for me."
Indeed, before leaving, the bespectacled boy had already guessed Gensou's thoughts and secretly provided the boy with some magical assistance. Therefore, the difficulties that Gensou had anticipated were easily resolved.
"Brother Yuanxiang, um... what are you going to do?"
Sakura Kinomoto quietly approached Gengo, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered:
"The moon didn't hurt me, that's for sure."
“I know that. I’ve seen the whole trial from beginning to end.”
"I see."
Hearing this, Sakura Kinomoto immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If that's the case, then she doesn't have to worry about Gengo-nii... Wait, what?!
'I'll never be able to save Gensou-nii again...'
In that instant, Kinomoto Sakura's mind was filled with the declaration she had made on the tower not long ago. She blinked blankly, and with a "whoosh," a puff of hot air rose from her head. Her blushing face was buried in her hands like an ostrich.
Yuanxiang didn't know what the child was shy about, so he just rubbed her little head, then pressed the 'luna' in his hand, and then waved his hand casually. The terrifying moonlight immediately enveloped the moon. An unimaginable force made the corner of the moon's mouth twitch involuntarily. First the wind, then the moon, it always felt like they were destined to clash with him.
In the eyes of others, Yue's figure gradually began to blur. Before anyone could realize what was happening, the figure split in two: one side was the Judge Yue, and the other side was the other half of the familiar—Yukito Tsukishiro.
"How is this possible?!"
Yue stared in disbelief at Yukito Tsukishiro, who was propping himself up while holding his forehead. Yukito was his disguise form, a being that coexisted with him. Now... now... who exactly is this Genji?!
As expected of the reincarnation of Clow Reed, he resolved the boundary issue between the two so easily. Or is it that magic doesn't need to be defined too clearly? Sometimes, a more ambiguous concept makes things easier?
Gensou watched the successful separation and felt a pang of emotion, but he didn't say much. He simply stepped forward, greeted Yukito Tsukishiro, and said softly:
"I don't feel any discomfort."
"No... no."
Yukito Tsukishiro knew what his true form was and what kind of being he was. Therefore, he looked at his hands in shock, touched his cheeks, and couldn't help but pinch them. After feeling the pain, he finally exhaled and answered softly.
"Alright, although I don't know if you like this gift, since this young man has his own will and ideas, I think it's better to part ways. Okay, you all go about your business. I'm just passing by and have some other things to do, so I'll take my leave for now."
