Something's wrong with how I'm watching anime.

This was all because of the book I found by my bedside after waking up.

After passing through the living room, Kazama arrived at his study.

After closing the door and drawing the curtains, Kazama placed the book he had found that morning by the bedside on the table.

The heavy books have an antique feel to them, as if they have been on the bookshelf for a long time.

The cover features a red background with gold trim, and the lion with its wings spread wide, looking majestic.

A sun is imprinted on the lion's chest, and a golden chain passes through the sun to a lock on the side of the book.

The English text printed on the front explains what this book is.

"theclow".

The Book of Clow Cards.

Looking at the book in front of him, Kazama rubbed his temples, pulled out a sheet of white paper from the side, and began to write.

"Incident: After falling asleep last night, I woke up to find that the plot of the anime Cardcaptor Sakura was different from my memories. The character Sakura Kinomoto did not enter the storage room to obtain the Clow Card Book that should have belonged to her."

Kazama looked up again at the magic book beside him, which was exactly the same as he remembered, then lowered his head and continued writing:

"At the same time, a book that looks exactly like the Book of the Clow Cards in the story was found by the bedside."

"Proof: The surveillance footage from the living room shows that no one broke into the house last night."

"The bedroom door was locked from the inside and there was no sign of it being opened."

"The window railing and window itself were undamaged, and there were no signs of climbing."

"At the same time, I searched for 'Cardcaptor Sakura' online and found that the online anime was exactly the same as I remembered. The 'Cardcaptor Sakura' I saw on my phone this morning was not the original version."

"in conclusion:..."

As he wrote down his thoughts on the paper, Kazama felt as if a whirlwind was raging in his mind. He took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement that made his whole body tremble.

Calm down, calm down.

Kazama took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress his emotions.

It's no wonder he was so agitated and unable to calm down; after all, what happened this morning had exceeded his comprehension.

Lord Ye loved dragons, but when he actually saw one, he was so frightened that he fled in terror. That's no different from what happened to Lord Ye.

When something beyond human comprehension appears, the ensuing panic is an instinct ingrained in human genes.

After calming down a bit, Kazama picked up his pen and continued writing:

"Conclusion: The possibility of it being a prank is ruled out... The idea of ​​watching Cardcaptor Sakura came about on a whim, and I have never told anyone about this plan."

"At the same time, an inspection of the room confirmed that no one else had entered last night. The book appears to have appeared out of thin air."

After writing for a while, Kazama raised his hand and gently crossed out the word "suspected" in the previous text.

"Contact: The Clow Card Book from Cardcaptor Sakura has disappeared, and the same book has appeared in my room."

Sherlock Holmes famously said: "If you eliminate the impossible, what remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

So, the Clow Cards from the anime have appeared in reality?

Kazama put down the glass, rolled up the manuscript, took out a lighter, lit it, and then put it into the cup.

The paper bent in the flames and quickly turned to ashes.

Kazama Yu took out another sheet of paper, picked up her pen, and wrote:

"Reasons: The idea of ​​watching the series, the thought of watching the series, the phone, the software."

Argument: ....

Kazama put down his pen, took out his phone, unlocked the screen, and went straight to the PiliPili app.

The familiar anime tracking page reappeared.

What is displayed is a series of anime series that Kazama has watched:

Cardcaptor Sakura

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Parasyte

"Devil's Blade"

Berserk

Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-

Fate/Zero

............

Neon Genesis Evangelion

There are roughly a dozen or so anime series that Kazama is still watching.

However, this was not something he cared about.

Where's the homepage?

Kazama was shocked to find that the software's homepage had disappeared, leaving only the function of following anime series.

Kazama subconsciously clicked refresh, but just like that morning, the refresh failed.

After a moment of silence, Kazama reopened Cardcaptor Sakura, and the progress bar was still showing where he had seen it that morning.

Sakura Kinomoto, who had not found the Book of Clow Cards in the storage room, was doing her homework in her room.

Soon, her father and brother returned.

Sakura's father started cooking.

Soon, the food was served on the table, and the family sat down together.

Dinner consisted of pork cutlet rice, tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet), and a vegetable salad.

Kazama's expression shifted, and a bold idea came to him.

He stared at the tamagoyaki next to Sakura on the screen.

'I want it!"

After the thought crossed my mind, the screen on my phone suddenly froze.

The next moment, a piece of tamagoyaki, still steaming and fragrant, appeared on the table in front of Kazama.

Kazama fell silent, glancing at the tamagoyaki and then at the replaying images on his phone.

Sakura discovers that her tamagoyaki is missing from her plate and loudly questions her brother, asking if he stole it when she wasn't looking.

Having witnessed what happened firsthand, Kazama's last trace of doubt and suspicion vanished.

Taking a deep breath, Kazama lit the manuscript paper in his hand again and threw it into the cup.

"My anime watching... seems a little off," Kazama muttered to himself.

Before Kazama could think things through, a lion's roar suddenly echoed from his study.

"Awoooooo!"

"Coo coo coo..."

The sound came from the sealed book at hand.

Along with the lion's roar came a gurgling sound, seemingly the sound of some creature's stomach rumbling with hunger.

The incident happened suddenly. Seeing the book trembling violently, as if something was trying to break free from its seal, Kazama instinctively reached out and pressed his hand on the book's cover.

However, when his finger accidentally touched the keyhole on the cover, the book lock suddenly popped open.

The Book of Clow Cards has been opened.

No, in this situation, we should say—

The seal... has been broken.

Chapter Three: I have something to tell you, don't be afraid.

The lock on the side of the Clow Card Seal was thus opened.

Even Kazama was taken aback for a moment. But as he lifted his hand from the book's cover, the Book of Seals was suddenly opened, revealing a thick stack of cards hidden inside.

The cards are rectangular in shape. They are made of an unknown material, and the surface has a faint sheen.

With gold trim and a purple base, it is extremely luxurious.

Above is a sun symbol, below is a crescent moon symbol, and on both sides are stars. Within this border is the image of a female elf with her wings folded and her arms crossed.

Below it is written in English: 'thewindy'

Wind sign.

Among the Clow Cards created by Clow Reed, it is one of the high-ranking cards representing the four basic elements, located only below the two sealed beasts, 'Yang' Cerberus and 'Yin' Moon.

In the original work, she appears as a gentle older sister who can manipulate the element of wind.

The Wind Card is also a well-known workhorse card in Cardcaptor Sakura. Compared to the mischievous and willful Water and Fire Cards, it has been working tirelessly for Sakura's command from beginning to end.

Of course, this could also be for the purpose of atonement.

After all, the Wind Card can be considered the root of all evil in the Cardcaptor Sakura story, as a gust of wind at the start of the game blows away all the other 51 cards.

Looking at the cards in front of him, Kazama took a deep breath and did not immediately draw them, but quietly waited for what would happen next.

Just as he had expected, as he held his breath in anticipation, a sphere of light slowly emerged from the book.

As the light faded, an adorable, doll-like creature floated in the air.

It's common knowledge that magical girls are always accompanied by a cute magical creature.

As a benchmark in magical girl anime, Cardcaptor Sakura naturally incorporated this feature as well.

Cerberus, one of the guardian beasts of the Clow Cards, is a familiar of the great magician Clow Reed and represents masculine power.

In its normal state, it is a majestic lion with wings on its back.
