Chapter 554: Waltz of Flowers
"Let me introduce her. She is my mother."
Tomoyo stood beside Sonomi and introduced her mother to her friends, then extended her hand.
"Mom, this is the Xiaoying and Xia classmate I often mentioned. And this one is Li, who just transferred to our class."
Yuan Mei looked at them one by one, but when she saw Sakura's face, she suddenly paused, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Then Sonomi just kept staring at Sakura, and Sakura blinked, looking a little strange.
As if she realized that her behavior was a bit inappropriate, Sonomi smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I'm Sonomi Daidoji, thank you for taking care of Tomoyo."
As the president of a large company, Odohji Sonomi did not put on airs. While apologizing, he even bowed slightly, even though the people in front of him were only a few children who were the same age as his daughter.
Seeing their elders bowing to them, Sakura and the others hurriedly bowed in return.
“What a group of lovely kids!”
Yuanmei fixed her gaze on Sakura again, then squatted down and looked into Sakura's eyes again.
"You're really cute. Your eyes are very similar to a girl I know. They're both so clear."
Sakura blushed a little as Sonomi stared at her with a nostalgic look and was praised for being cute.
"By the way, I still don't know your last name? Can you tell me?" After looking at Sakura for a while, Yuanmei straightened up and asked gently.
Sakura lowered her head shyly, and when she was about to say her name, she suddenly heard Fujitaka's voice from the side.
"Sakura."
"dad!"
Hearing her father's voice, Sakura turned around happily and looked. Sonomi also couldn't help but look up, wanting to see who gave birth to such a cute child like Sakura.
But when she saw Fujitaka's face clearly, her expression changed drastically in an instant.
"Ah——Teacher Kinomoto!!!"
Yuan Mei took two steps back in shock, her eyes full of astonishment. Fujitaka was also a little dumbfounded, and was so surprised that even his glasses slipped down a little.
"Sono-mi?"
The two of them just stared at each other, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became weird. After staring at each other for a while, the two of them seemed to have telepathic connection and walked to the side together.
Sakura and Tomoyo saw that their father and mother seemed to know each other and were deliberately communicating from a distance, so they did not follow them and left the space to the two adults.
Although they were also curious about why their fathers and mothers knew each other and why they reacted so strongly.
Xia Yu was very clear about it. Although he didn't remember the plot very clearly, he always remembered the relevant settings because this setting was also very wild, so wild that it was very impressive.
The conflict between Fujitaka and Sonomi mainly revolves around one person, that is, Sakura's mother, Nadeshiko Kinomoto.
Before they got married, Sonomi Daidoji and Nadeshiko Kinomoto had the same surname, Amamiya, and they were cousins.
The two sisters who grew up together have a very good relationship, but during this period, Sonomi's feelings for Nadeshiko deteriorated, so she has been guarding Nadeshiko and not letting other men approach her.
However, despite being on guard day and night, something finally went wrong.
When Nadeshiko was in high school, she met a novice teacher, Fujitaka. They fell in love at first sight and not only did they have a teacher-student relationship, they also got married.
At that time, Nadeshiko was only 16 years old and the only daughter of a chaebol, while Fujitaka was already 25 years old, but was just a rookie teacher who had just taken office.
The gap was so huge that Nadeshiko's family, the Amamiya family, had always opposed their marriage, and the loudest opponent was Sonomi. But obviously, the opposition was useless, and Fujitaka and Nadeshiko still got married.
Therefore, Sonomi has always hated Fujitaka, thinking that he took away her favorite Nadeshiko.
What made her even more upset was that Nadeshiko died at the age of 27. In her eyes, it was all Fujitaka's fault, and she has not forgiven him until now.
Thinking back to this, Xia Yu clicked his tongue and shook his head. He did not want to comment on the complicated relationship between the three. What he cared about most now was which man was so strong that he could forcibly straighten Lily.
Not only did Sonomi change her surname to Daidoji, she also had a daughter, Chise, which means she is already married.
Unfortunately, Chiyo's father did not appear in the work and always remained a mysterious image.
As for whether it was a marriage between chaebols, he felt that the possibility was extremely small.
After all, the Amamiya family was so opposed to Nadeshiko's marriage, but in the end Nadeshiko still married Fujitaka and gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the Amamiya family didn't do anything.
You have to know that Nadeshiko is the eldest daughter of the Amamiya chaebol. In comparison, Sonomi has a stronger personality and is a career-oriented woman. Why does such a strong woman need a marriage?
Furthermore, we can see from Tomoyo’s growth that she has a gentle and elegant personality, and her world outlook, values and outlook on life are healthy and correct. It is obvious that she has received a good education and guidance.
By reasoning in this way, we can easily conclude that Chishiro's parents must also be in love, rather than just compromising helplessly.
I just don’t know if this is the fate of the women in the Amamiya family. Sonomi likes Nadeshiko, but Nadeshiko likes Fujitaka; Tomoyo likes Sakura, but later on Sakura likes Syaoran.
They are all in love but cannot get it, and can only watch silently.
I just don't know who will straighten Tomoyo out later on. After all, Sakura and Syaoran are destined to be together, and this is a fact that will not change even in a parallel world.
"Xia classmate? Xia classmate?"
Suddenly, a shout interrupted Xia Yu's wandering thoughts . Xia Yu turned his head and found that it was Zhishi who was calling him.
Seeing that Xia Yu finally came back to his senses, Zhi Shi smiled sweetly: "Xia classmate, the radio station still needs me to broadcast, so I will leave first, see you later~"
"Okay, bye~"
Seeing Tomoyo leave, Li Xiaolang suddenly said, "I have to take care of health care with Yamazaki in the afternoon, so I have to leave too."
After saying that, Li Syaoran looked at Xiaoying and thanked her awkwardly: "Thank you for your hospitality, the bento is delicious, goodbye."
After expressing his gratitude, Li Syaoran glanced at Snow Rabbit again and ran away in a hurry. Looking at Syaoran's flustered running posture, Xiaoying waved her hands in a daze.
"goodbye……"
Not long after Xiaolang and Tomoyo left, Tomoyo's sweet voice suddenly rang out over the campus radio.
"Parents participating in the 'Parents 100-meter Race', please gather at the entrance."
"Repeat, participate..."
The lunch break has long ended. In the morning, it was the students’ competition, and in the afternoon, it was the parents’ competition.
Because the sports field has to be cleaned up later, there is only one sports event in the afternoon, which is specially organized for parents coming to the school.
As if he heard the broadcast, Fujitaka stopped chatting with Sonomi and ran to Sakura and the others.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Looking at Fujitaka running over, Sakura raised her head and asked excitedly, "Dad, are you going to participate in the 100-meter race?"
Fujitaka nodded and said with a smile, "Because Yuanmei told me to participate and she must beat me once no matter what."
"Well, I'll take Dad to the competition entrance!"
…
Playground, competition venue.
At this time, a large number of parents had gathered at the starting point of the runway, including Yuanmei and Fujitaka.
Yuanmei had already taken off the bright red suit she had just worn, leaving only the tight sleeveless leotard underneath, while Fujitaka had also taken off his suit jacket, leaving only a shirt.
Looking at the man beside her, Yuan Mei's eyes were filled with fighting spirit: "I will never lose to you."
Hearing this, Fujitaka on the side could only smile helplessly.
"preparation!"
Bang——!
As the starting gun sounded, a group of parents started running immediately. Yuan Mei instantly surpassed the people around her and ran alone in the front.
“So fast!”
Sakura, who was watching the game, was a little surprised. Tomoyo, who was standing next to her, smiled and replied, "I heard from my mother that she participated in the national sports meet when she was in high school."
“Wow… so awesome!”
But Yuan Mei didn't lead for long. Suddenly, there was a whooshing sound beside her, and then a tall figure surpassed her with an overwhelming advantage.
Yuan Mei couldn't help but open her eyes wide and look at the figure in front of her that she hated.
"Oh huh?"
Sakura couldn't help but clench her fists and looked shocked. Her father actually surpassed Tomoyo's mother in speed.
Tomoyo also clasped his hands: "Uncle is really amazing."
"Of course." Xia Yu, who was watching the game nearby, suddenly interrupted and said as if it was a matter of course: "As we all know, archaeologists are the strongest profession. Never underestimate the physical strength of an archaeologist."
After all, an archaeologist in another animation was once exclaimed by the villain, "He is simply superman."
"Huh? Really?"
Sakura was a little surprised. It was the first time she knew that archaeologists were so powerful. She thought only her father was so powerful.
Xia Yu nodded without answering, then looked up at the sky in confusion. Why were there so many petals floating in the sky? Where did these flowers come from?
And it's impossible to guess what kind of flower it is just by looking at the petals. It's as if petals are raining from the sky.
"Strange, where did so many petals come from?" Xia Yu caught a handful of petals and looked at them carefully.
Unfortunately, his eyes were not microscopes, so even if he looked carefully, he could not see anything unusual about the petals.
Hmm...if you smell it carefully, it's a bit unusual, unusually fragrant.
Sakura, who was standing by, heard Xia Yu's casual mumbling and reached out to catch a handful of petals, guessing, "Could it be... the Clow Cards?"
"Huh?"
Xia Yu couldn't help but let out a light exclamation and turned his head. He didn't expect that Xiaoying could make a judgment so quickly. It seemed that she had grown a lot.
Although what Xiaoying just said was just a guess, it was probably pretty close.
After all, within the scope of Tomoeda Town, if there is any abnormal situation, it must be the Clow Cards causing trouble.
In just a few words, more and more petals fell. In just a moment, a thick layer of pink petals accumulated on the ground, and the surrounding area was filled with a strong floral fragrance.
But no matter how beautiful it is, there is always a limit to what is good.
Under the pouring rain of petals, the surrounding students felt that even their vision was blocked, and the parents who were jogging had their running rhythm hindered by the petals.
In just a few minutes, the petals almost reached the students' waists, and the entire playground was completely turned into a sea of flowers.
Even Blizzard couldn't accumulate so quickly, but Petal did it easily.
At this moment, the parents participating in the competition had to stop, because some of them had already been submerged in the petals.
But at the very front, there were still two figures running, even though the petals had reached their thighs.
Looking at the two figures in front of her, Sakura frowned slightly and smiled helplessly: "They are still running."
"My mother never admits defeat." Tomoyo covered her mouth and smiled.
On the track, the only parents still competing were Yuanmei and Fujitaka.
The layers of petals had reached their waists, and every step they took was a strong obstacle.
Seeing that the speed was getting slower and slower, Yuan Mei decided to go all out and simply flapped her hands forward, as if she was swimming in the sea of flowers.
Xia Yu: (ー`′ー)
As for...
A 100-meter race turned into a floral swimming event halfway through. Is that wrong?
Also, is a hundred meters really that far? Why did it feel like they had been running for a long time? The petals were almost up to their chests, and they hadn't even reached the finish line yet.
There are so many complaints that I don't know where to start.
Seeing more and more petals falling around her, almost submerging the playground, Sakura hurriedly took out the key necklace from her chest.
Seeing Sakura's actions, Tomoyo asked worriedly, "Are you going to use magic here?"
"No one should be watching," Sakura made a confident declaration, immediately preparing to unseal the wand on the spot.
Xia Yu: “…”
Do you think everyone else is blind? It's not a big deal at night, after all, there are really no people at night in this era, but this is still in broad daylight!
There are so many students and parents on the playground. Even if the petals block their view, it would be too obvious if magic was really used!
Bang!
Xia Yu slapped himself on the face, suppressing his desire to complain. He couldn't complain, because if he did, he would lose.
Seeing that Xiaoying was really stubborn and was ready to unseal the wand on the spot, Xia Yu grabbed Xiaoying's hand, took a deep breath and sighed softly.
"Wait, let me cast a Disillusionment Charm on you first."
"That's right!" Hearing this, Xiaoying suddenly realized: "Xia classmate, you have invisibility magic, so you don't have to worry about being seen."
Xia Yu's threshold for complaining had just been raised, so this sentence no longer aroused his desire to complain.
Xia Yu casually took out his magic wand from behind.
However, Xia Yu did not complain, but Xiaoying rarely complained: "Where did you get it from?"
"you guess?"
Without giving Sakura a chance to answer, Xia Yu twirled his wand and cast an Disillusionment Spell on the three of them, then used a "Confusion Spell" to prevent anyone from noticing their disappearance.
After Xia Yu made an OK gesture, Xiaoying unsealed the magic wand and took out the flying card.
"fly!"
A glowing magic circle appeared beneath her feet, but no one could see it because the sea of petals blocked her view.
After using the flying card, a pair of wings suddenly grew on both ends of Sakura's magic wand, carrying Sakura and Tomoyo into the sky amid the fluttering petals.
Looking at the petals flying all over the sky, Sakura frowned: "Is this really the work of the Clow Cards? Where should we start our investigation?"
Chiyo, who was sitting on the wand with Sakura, smiled and suddenly took out a pink phone: "The best way at this time is to ask an expert."
Seeing this, Sakura was stunned. Where did she get the phone from? It was okay for Xia, after all, Xia knew magic, but how could Tomoyo know magic too? Was she the only one who couldn't pull something out of thin air?
As the call was connected, Xiaoke on the other end of the phone uttered his frustrated voice.
"What is it? I'm at my lowest point in depression right now."
"Xiao Ke, something bad has happened!"
Sakura ignored the reason for Xiaoke's frustration and directly explained to Xiaoke the abnormalities that would occur during the exercise. After listening to Sakura's explanation, Xiaoke replied.
"That's the Clow Cards' fault, there's no doubt about it. Observe carefully and see where the petals are coming from."
"good!"
After confirming from Xiaokou that it was the Clow Cards that caused the trouble, Sakura and Tomoyo immediately looked around. After their careful observation, they indeed discovered something abnormal.
On the roof of a teaching building, there was a faint pink light swirling around, forming a sphere with countless petals gushing out from it.
Now the playground has been completely submerged in a sea of petals, but even so, the competition between Tomoyo's mother and Sakura's father has not stopped.
Sonomi looks determined to not admit defeat, while Fujitaka faces any challenge with a smile.
The two of them didn't care at all about the petals that were about to drown them, and their eyes only focused on the end.
Hmm...very competitive.
"I really want to sigh about this scene..." Xia Yu flew silently in the air, filming the competition between this pair of weird parents with a camera.
"Even the death barrier in the red spider lily bush at the end of the century can't stop their competition?"
The other side.
Realizing the source of the petals, Sakura hurriedly carried Tomoyo through the blockade of petals and came to the pink light.
Although this was the source of the petals, their vision became clearer after stepping onto the roof.
It was not until this time that Sakura and Tomoyo saw the scene at the source clearly. It was a girl in a pink dress dancing gracefully.
The girl has a very petite figure, with pink light flowing around her, dancing in the wind. Together with the petals fluttering around her, it seems as if she is dancing a waltz of flowers.
This gorgeous and elegant scene made Sakura, who stepped onto the roof, stunned.
"Sakura, it's time for you to seal this beautiful sister."
The sudden voice beside her ear woke Xiaoying up. She turned her head in surprise and said, "Xia, when did you come here?"
"While you were staring blankly."
Xia Yu held up the camera and filmed Sister Hua dancing gracefully. This scene brought back his past memories. This was one of the scenes that impressed him the most.
The light and graceful dance makes the flower cards look like fairies. If the gentle tree cards are added, they can make their debut directly.
As for the match between Sonomi and Fujitaka... he didn't just have one camera. The camera over there had been floated in the air by him using a levitation spell and was automatically filming.
The dance of Karasu is more worthy of his personal appreciation and filming.
When Sakura heard Xia Yu say that she was stunned, she couldn't help blushing, but soon, she shook her head and came back to her senses, raising her wand and aiming it at the flower cards.
"You are a Clow Card, right? Stop now!"
Hearing someone calling her, Hanahi slowly stopped her dance. After seeing Sakura holding a magic wand, she did not run away. Instead, she floated towards Sakura with a smile on her face.
Then Hanahata gently touched Sakura's face, and before Sakura could react, Hanahata suddenly took Sakura's hand and started dancing with her.
“Luckily I arrived in time and I was able to capture some great photos.”
Looking at this lovely scene, Xia Yu felt very satisfied. He is worthy of being the first generation cute king. This scene of dancing with the flower cards is indeed worth collecting.
"Xia-san, will Sakura be okay?"
Tomoyo, who was standing aside holding the phone, was a little dumbfounded. After hearing Sakura's exclamation, she looked at Xia Yu.
"Don't worry." Xia Yu shook his head gently: "I don't sense any malice from this Clow Card. Maybe she is just simply inviting Sakura to enjoy this pleasant dance."
As soon as the dance was over, Sakura hurriedly took advantage of the gap to raise her bird-headed wand.
"Return to your original form, Clow Card!"
Looking at the magic wand held in front of her, Hanaha tilted her head slightly, and without trying to stop it, she just looked at Sakura in a cute way.
bite--!
A crisp chirping sound was heard, and an illusory card immediately condensed at the tip of the bird-head magic wand.
With the appearance of the illusory card, Hanaka started to spin in place as if she was evolving, but she did not evolve in the end, and instead turned into thousands of pink streams of light.
Surrounded by numerous petals, the pink light entered the virtual card, and the virtual card was thus condensed into a real card.
"Flower?"
Sakura caught the card that floated down and looked at the English word underneath.
"So it's a flower card, no wonder there are flower petals everywhere."
Just at this moment, Xiaoke called and Zhishi pressed the answer button.
…
At the playground.
Without the petals falling from the sky, the race on the track below finally came to an end.
The 100-meter sprint was so difficult, and it was fortunate that they were able to persevere.
As expected, the archaeologist with the strongest physical fitness won the championship.
“Ha… huh… ha…”
Approaching the finish line, Yuan Mei was panting and staring fiercely at the tall figure at the finish line.
Because she ran so fast and hurriedly, Yuanmei's short burgundy hair stood up like an angry kitten, but she didn't care and continued to stare at Fujitaka hatefully.
But no matter how angry she was, she knew that she had lost to the man in front of her again this time.
After the difficult parent competition was over, the parents had to clean up the many fallen petals together with their students.
Since there were no more petals falling, it wasn't too difficult to clean them up.
However, we have to say that these people are really careless. Even though such an unusual thing happened, no one thought about where the petals came from.
Clean what needs to be cleaned, tidy up what needs to be put away, as if this is just a part of daily life.
Soon, with the joint efforts of all the teachers, students and parents, all the petals in the entire campus were cleaned up. There might be some residues left, but it was not a problem.
After cleaning up, the angry Yuanmei put on her red suit, called Fujitaka to go to another empty place, and then started complaining angrily.
