Chapter 551: Sword Card in the Jewelry Store
"ah--!"
Li Xiaolang was frightened by the sudden attack. He screamed and desperately shook his fingers, trying to break free from Xiaoke's bloody mouth. However, no matter how Li Xiaolang shook his fingers, Xiaoke bit them tightly.
Finally, Li Xiaolang gave Xiaoke a strong shake and he finally let go of his bloody mouth.
Although it was thrown away, Xiao Ke still stared at Li Xiaolang with a frown, as if it would bite him again if Li Xiaolang said anything to look down on it again.
As if sensing Xiao Ke's determination, Li Xiaolang looked at the clear teeth marks on his fingers and snorted coldly, "Anyway, we will be competitors from now on. Who can get the Clow Cards will depend on who is stronger."
After saying that, Li Xiaolang put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard on his back, then turned around and left.
Chise, who was taking pictures from a distance, saw that the Clow Cards had been sealed, and hurried over.
After arriving next to Xiaoying and Xia Yu, Zhishi asked with some concern: "Are you not hurt?"
"Don't worry, Tomoyo, we are not hurt." Sakura smiled, and this time she sealed the Clow Cards very easily.
"I'm glad you're not hurt." Tomoyo breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head to look at the green figure in the distance.
"That was classmate Li just now, right? Why is he here?"
"He's here to snatch the Clow Cards from Sakura." Xia Yu took out the Thunder Card and said with a smile, "Don't worry about him. I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."
After saying that, Xia Yu threw the thunder card in his hand in front of him, and with a flick of his magic wand, the thunder beast that had been sealed appeared again.
But at this time, the thunder beast had lost its original unruly nature. Instead, it was unexpectedly honest and well-behaved. The thunder beast squatted quietly beside Xia Yu, with only its lightning tail swinging like a puppy.
"Since you are the incarnation of lightning, you should be able to change your form at will, right? Can you turn into a cat?"
Xia Yu patted the thunder beast's head and asked it.
The thunder beast nodded, and blue and white lightning flashed on its body. Soon, the thunder beast, which was originally as ferocious as a giant wolf, became the size of a house cat.
Although it turned into a cat, Thunder Beast is still as handsome as ever, because it has become a cat-like Maine Coon, but with light blue fur.
“I didn’t expect it would actually work.”
Xia Yu looked at the thunder beast that turned into a cat in surprise. He couldn't help but reach out to pick it up, then held it in his arms and started petting it.
It's true, it feels really good to stroke this hair that seems to be flying all over the place. But he can't stroke it for too long, because it seems to produce static electricity, which makes him shiver all over.
Resisting the urge to continue petting the cat, Xia Yu held the Thunder Beast in his arms, then grabbed one of its paws and gestured to Sakura and Tomoyo.
"Look, I have a pet too. As expected, a person who knows magic must have a pet. Compared to an owl, a cat is indeed cuter."
"roar!"
When the Thunder Beast saw its master introducing itself, it also barked in cooperation.
But it had just made a sound when Xia Yu's face changed. He casually held the thunder beast in front of him and frowned, saying, "Try to make another sound?"
"roar?"
"No, that's not how cats call. Meow!"
"roar?"
"Wrong, it's meow! Meow~"
"Meow?"
"That's right, call me that from now on!"
"Meow~"
Seeing that the thunder beast's cry was correct, Xia Yu was satisfied and held the thunder beast in his arms again.
Sakura, who was originally surprised that Thunder Beast could turn into a cat, couldn't help but look at Tomoyo after seeing the interaction between Xia Yu and Thunder Beast. Both of them saw the smile in each other's eyes.
"I didn't expect that classmate Xia has such a lovely side."
"Yes, luckily the camera was still on and captured what just happened."
Xiao Ke also flew in front of Xia Yu at this time, looked at the Thunder Beast in Xia Yu's arms, and asked in confusion: "Why do you want to turn the Thunder Beast into a cat? The prototype of the Thunder Beast is obviously the same as a giant wolf, so it should turn into a puppy."
"Because cats are cute." Xia Yu held up the Thunder Beast in his arms and compared it with Sakura.
"Just like Sakura dressed as a cat also increases her cuteness level by several levels, so cats are the cutest."
"Huh?"
Xiaoying, who was originally giggling, couldn't help blushing when Xia Yu suddenly said that she was cute.
Tomoyo beside him nodded affirmatively, stroking his chin and muttering, "Sure enough, the cat Sakura is the cutest. We can add some cat elements to the uniforms in the future. What do you think, Xia-san?"
"I think so."
Sakura: ...
Didn't anyone ask for my opinion? It was clearly the uniform I was wearing.
…
The next morning, at Youzhi Elementary School.
Today is still a school day, and even though the magical girl has to seal the Clow Cards at night, she still has to go to school during the day.
But perhaps because she exercised too much at night, Sakura came to school in the morning feeling a little depressed and lacking energy.
Tomoyo, who arrived at the school later, saw Sakura like this and couldn't help but walked up to her and asked with concern: "Sakura, you don't seem to have much energy. Did you not sleep well last night?"
Hearing Tomoyo's concern, Sakura forced a smile and said, "A little bit."
Hearing Sakura's reluctant answer, the clever Tomoyo quickly figured out the reason. She asked speculatively, "Sakura, are you still bothered by what happened last night?"
Sakura fell silent after her secret was revealed. She remembered what Li Syaoran said to her last night, including the sentence that he didn't recognize her yet.
"But the Thunder Card was still sealed in the end, wasn't it?"
In response to Sakura's silence, Tomoyo gently comforted her: "Sakura, as the only Clow magician in the world, you have performed your mission perfectly."
Hearing what Tomoyo said, Sakura couldn't help but smile and said, "Tomoyo, you and classmate Xia are indeed gentle people."
"Xia classmate?"
"Yes, that's what Xia-san comforted me last night. He said that I'm the only Crawler in the world and I must not fall into self-doubt."
Hearing this, Tomoyo smiled and placed his hands on Sakura's shoulders, saying with a smile: "So what are you still worried about, Sakura? Don't forget that classmate Xia and I are always with you. You are never alone, Sakura ."
"Tomoyo..."
Sakura nodded somewhat touched, and then clenched her fist firmly: "I understand, even if it's just for your expectations, I will never give up!"
"Well, come on Sakura!"
Sakura smiled again, and seeing this, Tomoyo's mood also improved. The two of them walked into the classroom, talking and laughing.
"Oh haha~ Xia-san."
Looking at Xia Yu sitting in his seat, Xiaoying and Tomoyo waved and greeted him, and Xia Yu also waved back in return.
When Sakura sat back in her seat and just stuffed her schoolbag into the drawer, the back door of the classroom was opened again. Hearing the sound, Sakura turned her head and looked.
The person who came was Li Syaoran with a cold face. Sakura saw Li Syaoran walking towards her, and the scene of last night emerged from her memory again.
Li Syaoran didn't think too much about it. He walked back to his seat and just looked at Sakura in front of him.
Mainly because Sakura was also staring at him in a daze.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Sakura suddenly said, "Well...thank you for yesterday."
Syaoran was a little surprised to be thanked suddenly, and Sakura also explained why she thanked him, because Syaoran helped her last night.
Hearing this reason, the little wolf replied in a nonchalant way: "No need to thank me, although I helped you, I haven't recognized you yet."
Although she was given a cold shoulder, Xiaoying did not lose heart and continued to find a topic to talk about: "By the way, the clothes you wore yesterday were really handsome. Do people wear them in Hong Kong?"
Syaoran looked up but didn't respond, so Sakura continued, "Also...Also, I once dreamt about a boy in that green suit, so I was a little surprised."
As soon as these words came out, Xiaolang supported himself on the table with both hands in surprise and leaned forward: "That is the Taoist uniform passed down by our Li family. You can't possibly know it."
Sakura said awkwardly: "I didn't know that, it was in my dream..."
Hearing this, Xiaolang's eyes widened slightly: "Are you saying that you have the magic power to see precognitive dreams?"
Faced with Syaoran's questions, Sakura became more and more embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. The atmosphere became more and more awkward.
The big liar squad leader, Takashi Yamazaki, came over and broke the awkward atmosphere.
"Student Li, even though you just transferred here, you still have to be a monitor."
"Student on duty?"
"Students on duty are supposed to clean the blackboard, write in the diary, sing and dance for everyone after class, and do a lot of things."
"What?" Xiaoying was stunned when she heard that. The students on duty had to sing and dance? How could she not know that?
After hearing these rules, Xiaolang asked in confusion: "Japanese elementary schools have such rules?"
"That's right, Xiaolang." Xia Yu also stood up at this time, standing side by side with Yamazaki Takashi and said, "I was also surprised when I first came, but singing and dancing can help us integrate into the group as quickly as possible, so it's a very good rule."
"Don't call me...Oh, it's okay."
Li Xiaolang was about to say don’t call me Wang Xiaoming, but when he realized that Xia Yu did not call his name wrong, he scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Can you integrate into the group as quickly as possible? That's indeed a good rule." The little wolf touched his chin and nodded. Although it was a bit strange, it was acceptable.
Seeing Xia Yu assist him, Yamazaki Takashi's smile became even brighter: "Well, then wipe the blackboard clean first."
After saying that, Takashi Yamazaki pulled Syaoran away from his seat. Seeing the two of them leave, Sakura looked at Xia Yu with some confusion.
"Do we have to sing and dance when we are on duty?"
"Hey, of course not." Xia Yu smiled and looked at Li Xiaolang who was wiping the blackboard and said, "Xiaoying, don't you want to see the arrogant Xiaolang singing and dancing in front of the whole class?"
“Hmm…”
Hearing this, Sakura did not answer. Although it was a bit impolite, she was indeed a little expectant in her heart.
…
What is the purpose of going to school? Going to school is just to wait for school to end.
Therefore, the day passed quickly, and with the ringing of the bell, it was time to go home from school.
"See you tomorrow~"
"Goodbye~"
With each goodbye, the students left the classroom one after another.
After saying goodbye to Tomoyo and Sakura, Xia Yu also quickly left the classroom because he remembered the information about a Clow Card.
This card was discovered the day after the Thunder Card was sealed, and like the Thunder Card, it was a very cool Clow Card, so he remembered it.
He remembered that the Clow Card was a sword card. As long as he held it, he could transform into a master of swordsmanship. Anyway, it was very cool to use.
In one word, want!
Two words: I want it very much!
Thinking of this, Xia Yu quickened his pace again. He remembered that the card seemed to be disguised as a small ornament. Whoever wore it would have his mind controlled.
But as long as you don't wear it, nothing will happen, so the card is barely safe.
Xia Yu naturally didn't know which jewelry store it was, but he had the magic of guidance, so as long as he thought about that thing, the magic wand would guide him.
That’s right, magic is such an idealistic and omnipotent thing.
Soon, Xia Yu arrived at the jewelry store that the magic wand pointed to. The jewelry store was not big, but it was exquisitely decorated in European style.
There are not only accessories for sale there, but also many dolls and some decorative items like antique mirrors. It doesn't look like a jewelry store, but more like an exquisite grocery store.
"Hmm? This doll?"
Suddenly, Xia Yu was attracted by a pile of cat dolls. The dolls were big and small, and looked a bit like Xiaoke without wings.
The doll is dark blue-purple all over, but compared to Xiaoke, it seems more like another cat-shaped guardian beast.
What’s it called?
Xia Yu stood there digging into his memory. He vaguely remembered that a female version of Xiao Ke would appear later, and that guardian beast would be this color.
I think his name was something like Spi, and he was created by Elio to counter Kero.
Elio is the reincarnation of half of Clow Reed, and possesses Clow Reed's memories and all of his magic power, which is why he was able to create a guardian beast that corresponds to Koro.
By the way, the other half of Clow Reed's reincarnation is Kinomoto Fujitaka, who inherited neither memories nor magic power and is just an ordinary person.
But he is Sakura's father, so Sakura is actually related to Clow Reed, and their relationship is quite close, almost like father and daughter.
After thinking for a while, Xia Yu still couldn't remember what the full name of Sibi was. Since he couldn't remember it, he decided not to think about it anymore.
After suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Xia Yu walked to the jewelry table, and among the many jewelry, he quickly found the special brooch.
Among all the ordinary accessories, the brooch looks so special, not only beautiful but also handsome.
The overall color is dark gold, in the shape of a Western sword. The guard is a pair of wings. The end of the hilt, the center of the guard, and the tip of the sword are all inlaid with a ruby. Finally, a thin chain connects the guard and the tip of the sword together.
It doesn't look like an ordinary item at first glance. That's right, this brooch is an ornament disguised as the Sword Card. The disguise of the Sword Card can almost be said to be no disguise, after all, even the disguised brooch is in the shape of a sword.
However, most people would not think that this small brooch could be dangerous.
After finding the purpose of this trip, Xia Yu directly bought the Sword brand brooch.
Including the sword card, he now has a total of four Clow Cards in his hand, plus the seven in Sakura's hand, a total of eleven.
"So, we still need forty-one Clow Cards. As expected, this is just the beginning."
