Chapter 544 Kinomoto Nadeshiko
Night, back mountain.
Because her brother and father were out for something, Sakura did not wait until midnight, but went to the back mountain of the school with Tomoyo as soon as it got dark.
Although she has not yet regarded sealing the Clow Cards as her top priority at this moment, she still keeps it in mind.
"Sakura looks really cute in this outfit."
On the road leading to the back mountain, Tomoyo held up a camera and filmed Sakura, who had changed her clothes, while praising her.
“Hehehe…”
Sakura, who was walking in front, smiled embarrassedly. Her clothes at this time had rabbit elements. The furry coat was mainly pink and blue. There was a yellow round tail hanging behind her butt, and a white rabbit ear headband on her head.
The already cute look, coupled with Sakura's timid expression, makes her look even more delicate and cute.
"Where is Xia? Why haven't I seen him after walking for so long?"
On the way to the cliff on the back mountain, although Sakura knew that the ghost she saw in front might be a Clow Card, she was still a little scared, so she chose to chat to dispel her fear.
But just as she finished speaking, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew past her ears.
"Are you looking for me?"
“Eh!!!”
In an instant, Sakura was frightened by the eerie voice next to her ear and jumped up, and her screams echoed in all directions.
Xia Yu, who suddenly appeared at the side, couldn't help but cover his ears. After Sakura stopped screaming, he complained: "Kinomoto Sakura-san, you are a Sorcerer of Clow, how can you be scared like this?"
"Woo woo woo, classmate Xia, you actually scared me!"
Xiaoying couldn't help but stare at Xia Yu with tears in her eyes, but unfortunately her timid appearance had no deterrent effect at all, instead she looked particularly pitiful.
"Hey, you little brat, you're so brave to scare Sakura!"
At this moment, Xiao Ke suddenly flew out of the backpack, clenched his fist and waved at Xia Yu twice: "Do you want to taste what my fist tastes like?"
Looking at Xiao Ke like this, Xia Yu suddenly reached out and patted Xiao Ke on the head, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you are the conscience of the magical girl world."
“The conscience of the industry?”
Xiao Ke shook his head and shook off Xia Yu's hand, muttering the word in confusion, and then looked at Xia Yu: "What does the conscience of the industry mean?"
"I'm praising you for being handsome."
Hearing this, Xiao Ke immediately raised his head and said proudly: "I am very handsome, okay!"
“Hehe~”
Chiyo, who was left behind, saw this scene, covered her mouth and laughed, and the camera in her hand also recorded everything that was happening in front of her.
"Hey, Xia boy, is what you said on the phone true? Have the Clow Cards appeared again?" Xiao Ke suddenly flew in front of Xia Yu and asked with his hands on his chest.
Xia Yu spread his hands and replied, "How would I know? But if you encounter an abnormal situation, you have to investigate, right?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ke touched his chin and nodded: "What you said makes sense. We should indeed investigate it."
After saying that, Xiao Ke clenched his fist, flew to Sakura and loudly encouraged her: "Okay! Sakura, it's time for Magician Kuro to go out again!"
"All right……"
Sakura took out the key necklace from her arms with tears in her eyes. Then a magic circle flashed and the bird-head magic wand was held tightly in her hand.
"Then let's go."
Chise on the side said gently, but just as she turned around, she was suddenly stunned. She saw a ball of fluorescent light flashing with faint blue light floating up and down not far in front of her.
That was the fluorescence they saw in the evening. After everyone looked over there, the fluorescence quickly drifted towards the depths of the forest.
The destination was the cliff, and the fluorescence seemed to want to lead them all to that location.
"Sakura!"
Xiao Ke was the first to react and pointed at the fluorescent light. Sakura nodded in response and quickly drew out the flying cards.
"fly!"
In an instant, the bird-headed magic wand grew wings. Sakura quickly jumped onto the magic wand and chased after the fluorescent light.
"Wait for me, Sakura!"
Seeing Sakura rushing over without any hesitation, Xiao Ke shouted hurriedly, flapping his little wings and flying quickly towards Sakura.
"Aren't you afraid of ghosts? Why are you so reckless? Could this be the legendary duality of recklessness and cowardice? You should be reckless when you should be reckless and cowardly when you should be cowardly?"
Looking at Xiaoying's figure that disappeared in the blink of an eye, Xia Yu couldn't help but complain.
"Classmate Xia, let's hurry over there too." Seeing that Sakura and Xiaoke had already flown away, Tomoyo came to Xia Yu and said.
"Um!"
While answering casually, Xia Yu spread his wings and reached out to Zhishi.
Seeing this, Zhishi was slightly startled, then he smiled sweetly: "I have to trouble classmate Xia to give me a ride again, thank you so much."
As he spoke , Chishi placed his hand on Xia Yu's hand.
"You're welcome. We're friends."
Xia Yu smiled, took Zhishi's hand, picked her up like a princess, and then flapped his wings and disappeared on the spot.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
With the help of Fei Pai, Sakura followed the fluorescence closely to the cliff.
Seeing that they had reached the destination, Fluorescent stopped immediately. Seeing this, Sakura, who had been following Fluorescent, also stopped flying cards and fell to the ground.
Before she could take any action, the fluorescent light lit up again.
Seeing that the ghost seemed to be about to appear again, Sakura gripped her wand tightly with both hands and looked at the light vigilantly.
However, what surprised her was that after the dark blue light grew stronger, she did not see the female ghost that she and other friends saw in the evening, but instead saw a woman with an extremely gentle smile.
He was a person who was both strange and familiar to her, a person she had never seen in person in her memory but whose photo she could see every day in her real home.
That was her deceased mother!
Just before going out today, she looked at the photo and sighed, thinking how nice it would be if she could see her mother in person.
And at this moment, she really saw it with her own eyes, the mother who was so gentle in her father's words.
"Mother……"
Sakura looked at the woman who emerged from the dark blue light and couldn't help but her pupils tremble slightly.
The white dress and slightly curly long hair were exactly the same as in the photo, especially the pair of light green eyes, which were almost exactly the same as hers, except that her eyes were a little darker.
"Really mom?"
The woman in the light did not answer, but just floated there and smiled gently, appearing so illusory and unreal.
However, Sakura didn't pay any attention. When she saw the mother she had always missed, tears gradually welled up in her eyes and a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
"Mother!"
"Sakura, what's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Xiao Ke had flapped his wings and quickly rushed behind Sakura. Seeing Sakura standing there in a daze, he hurriedly flew towards her.
However, before it could get close to Sakura, an invisible barrier suddenly blocked it and sent it flying.
Under the power of the barrier, Xiaoke fell backwards in a daze. Fortunately, Xia Yu had caught up and hurried forward to catch the dizzy Xiaoke.
On the other side, the gentle woman in the light stretched out her hand towards Sakura, and Sakura seemed to be confused and suddenly walked forward.
If Sakura were allowed to continue walking, she would definitely fall off the cliff.
"Sakura, that's a hanging wall over there!"
Seeing that Sakura had not stopped, Tomoyo shouted at her anxiously, but Sakura seemed to have heard nothing and continued walking forward.
"Fainted!"
The next moment, a light like electric welding flashed, and Sakura, who was still walking towards her mother, felt a black screen in front of her eyes and immediately lost consciousness. She closed her eyes and fainted.
The magic of knocking the ground unconscious has a strong effect even for magicians. It works very quickly and anyone who is touched by it will fall down immediately without any resistance.
Besides, the spell and the magic in Sakura's world are two completely different systems. Even with the magic barrier, the bewildered Sakura still fell into it.
"Sakura!!"
Tomoyo saw Sakura suddenly fall to the ground, and hurried over, knelt on the ground, lifted Sakura's body up, and let her lean on his arms.
"Xia-san, what did you just use? Will Sakura be okay?"
At this time, Xia Yu also came over with a magic wand. Zhishi hurriedly asked him, his face full of worry.
Seeing Zhishi so nervous, Xia Yu squatted in front of Xiaoying with Xiaoke in his arms, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I just used magic to make Xiaoying fall asleep, she will be fine. The most important thing now is what did Xiaoying see?"
Having said that, Xia Yu looked up at the faint blue fluorescence. It seemed that because Xiaoying had fainted, the fluorescence also dimmed and gradually dissipated on the edge of the cliff.
"What did you see..." Tomoyo looked up at the gradually fading fluorescence and replied, "What I saw was still a big bun. Why would Sakura walk towards a bun? Is Sakura confused by the bun?"
"I think I understand..."
Xiao Ke's somewhat dizzy voice suddenly came, and it flew up from Xia Yu's hand, floated in front of the few people and said: "The different images you see are all what you think in your heart."
"This is a magic card! Magic cards can make people see what they want to see. It can reflect what everyone is thinking at the time, so what you see is different."
After hearing this conclusion, Zhi Shi suddenly realized, "No wonder the first thing I saw was a meat bun, because I was so hungry at the time and wanted to eat a meat bun."
As he was talking, Zhishi suddenly looked at Xia Yu: "The first thing Xia saw was a castle. Does Xia want to be a prince?"
"this……"
Xia Yu looked away somewhat embarrassedly. No wonder he saw Hogwarts at that time. After all, he was practicing spells before that.
Seeing Xia Yu's rare shy look, Zhi Shi thought he had guessed right and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Xia Yu to be so cute."
"Okay, okay, let Sakura wake up first. After all, Sakura was almost lured by the illusion card just now." Xia Yu hurriedly changed the subject. He took the magic wand and gently tapped Sakura, and Sakura, who was originally asleep, also moved her eyelids.
"Hum~"
Sakura, lying in Tomoyo's arms, let out a soft moan and slowly opened her confused eyes.
"Huh? This is..."
Sakura sat up and looked around in a daze. She just remembered seeing her deceased mother, but why did she suddenly faint?
"Great, you're okay, Sakura."
Seeing Sakura wake up, Tomoyo couldn't help but hug Sakura tightly in his arms. The sudden power made the confused Sakura completely awake.
"Ahem, Chishi, you're strangling me so much that I can't breathe."
Sakura couldn't help but slap Tomoyo's arm. Hearing this, Tomoyo quickly let go of Sakura.
After being released, Xiaoying couldn't help but gasp twice, then looked at Xiaoke with some confusion and asked: "Xiaoke, what happened just now? Why did I faint?"
"That's a long story..."
Xiao Ke slowly floated in front of Sakura and explained the reasons to her, including the ability of the phantom cards and the fact that she almost fell off the cliff just now.
As she listened, Sakura's expression gradually became lost: "It turns out that wasn't my mother, it was just an illusion..."
Because she missed her mother, she saw her mother here.
The atmosphere around them gradually became depressing. Before Xiaoke could say anything to comfort him, Xia Yu suddenly flicked his finger and sent Xiaoke flying. Xiaoke screamed and spun several times in the air before stopping.
"You little brat, what are you doing!" After steadying himself, Xiao Ke looked at Xia Yu angrily and yelled.
"I wonder how evil your master is." Xia Yu curled his lips and couldn't help complaining: "When the Water Card was sealed, the Water Card wanted to drag people into the water and drown them. The Illusion Card was even more excessive. It actually wanted to lure people to fall off the cliff. Tell me, are the Clow Cards cruel?"
"this……"
Xiao Ke was stunned and fell silent. Although he wanted to defend his master Kurolido, what Xia Yu had just said was also true.
If Xia Yu hadn't made Xiaoying faint just now, Xiaoying might have really fallen off the cliff.
"Sakura, I'm sorry I couldn't help. It was really dangerous this time, but I couldn't do anything." Xiao Ke floated in front of Sakura with an apologetic look on his face.
Seeing Xiao Ke blaming herself, Xiao Ying smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiao Ke. Although that wasn't Mom, I know that Mom is not alone here. I would be happy to see her, but I would be happier if she was in the beautiful heaven."
Sakura's sensible words gradually made the originally depressed atmosphere disappear. Looking at Sakura who was forcing a smile, Xia Yu felt silent in his heart.
The soul of Sakura's mother in the original work is real. He just remembered that in the cartoon of the original work, Sakura did fall off a cliff.
But at that time, the spirit of Sakura's mother, Nadeshiko Kinomoto, appeared, forcibly broke through reality and pulled Sakura, preventing Sakura from getting hurt.
If what they expected was correct, Sakura's mother was right beside them right now, maybe smiling at them.
Xia Yu was thinking, Xiaoying suddenly looked at him: "Thank you, Xia classmate, thank you for saving me, if it weren't for you, I might have fallen."
In response to Sakura's thanks, Xia Yu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, opened the system mall, and found a bottle of magic potion that could see souls, but it was a bit expensive.
But looking at Sakura's face, he made up his mind and clicked the exchange button. After the exchange, he suddenly felt relieved.
Sakura's gentleness was worth his doing this for, and Sakura was so sensible that it made people feel distressed, so it would be nothing to exchange a bottle of magic potion that could see souls for her. At most, he could just let himself go a little more.
Besides, he can get so much sunshine value now thanks to the bonus of Sakura, the protagonist of this world, so there is no reason to hesitate.
