Chapter 566: A Dance Together
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Sakura and Syaoran's reactions were a little strange, Tomoyo couldn't help but tilt his head slightly and asked.
Syaoran was still there, looking around vigilantly, while Sakura frowned a little, and after a moment of silence, she shook her head: "I don't know, I always feel that there is a strange feeling nearby, I don't know if it's my illusion."
Xia Yu, who was sitting next to Tomoyo, frowned and thought for a moment when he heard this. Usually when Sakura felt something unusual, it meant that the Clow Cards had appeared.
But which card is the Clow Card this time?
As for the Clow Cards related to the drama, he could only recall the last light and dark cards that appeared in the Clow Cards. However, that drama was rehearsed by their class, so the Clow Cards that appeared this time were definitely not those two cards.
The performance on the stage continued, and soon it came to the final scene.
The stage was filled with fairy air and mist.
Although this is artificial fog created by the props team using dry ice, the stage effect is indeed better surrounded by white fog.
The princess and the prince have now walked hand in hand up to the high tower, ready to end the whole drama.
However, at this moment, a light green mist mixed into the mist created by the dry ice.
When the light green mist touched the pillars building the platform, cracks suddenly appeared on the originally strong pillars, and then they broke with a loud bang.
Snap——!
With a cracking sound, the platform collapsed instantly, and the prince and princess on the stage staggered, as if they were about to fall from the platform.
The platform is about five or six meters above the ground. Falling down like this may not necessarily be fatal, but it will definitely result in injuries.
When they saw the accident happen, the audience couldn't help but exclaim.
Fortunately, the connection points of the platform were fixed with steel bars, so the platform did not collapse completely. However, the accident just now caused the prince to fall off the platform. It was only because Touya was quick-witted and grabbed the actor who played the prince, preventing him from falling to the ground.
The sudden accident made the audience nervous. The next second, the steel cable connecting the stage curtain was corroded by the green mist and broke with a snap.
Without the support of the ropes, the entire curtain fell down, blocking out what was happening on the stage.
The sudden accident caused the audience to talk a lot, panic, and not know what to do.
Sakura and Syaoran hurriedly stood up, frowning as they sensed the sudden magical aura nearby.
"The Clow Cards again!"
"We need to find a place where there is no one."
After hearing what Syaoran said, Sakura looked around and immediately found the window with the searchlight . That place seemed to be unattended.
“Go there!”
As she spoke, Sakura ran towards the stairs next to her, and Li Syaoran hurriedly followed.
"Xia, what about us?"
Seeing that Xiaoying and Xiaolang were ready to solve the problem, Tomoyo frowned and looked at Xia Yu, wondering whether he should go with them.
"You stay here to avoid any accidents. I'll go over and take a look."
Xia Yu patted Zhishi's shoulder and gave him a firm look. Seeing that Zhishi was still frowning worriedly, Xia Yu chuckled and gestured to the camera in his hand.
"Don't worry, I will take pictures of Sakura's heroic appearance for you. After all, I am a professional."
Hearing this, Zhishi couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the worries in his heart disappeared.
Then Chishi shook his head gently: "You know, I'm not worried about this, never mind...you must come back safely."
"Yes, command."
Xia Yu waved to Zhishi and hurriedly followed.
On the other side , Sakura and Syaoran had already run to the glass window, and Sakura was calling Kero at the moment, asking which Clow Card was causing trouble this time.
After Xiaoke's explanation, they learned that the one causing trouble this time was the Fog Card, and the fog created by the Fog Card could corrode everything it touched.
If you want to seal the fog card, you need to wrap up all the fog.
"Wrap it up...wrap it up..."
"Use the wind card!"
While Xiaoying was talking, Xia Yu had already rushed over and reminded her: "You can use the wind to gather the fog together and then seal it."
“That’s right!”
Hearing Xia Yu's reminder, Xiaoying hurriedly took out the wind card she carried with her and unsealed the magic wand.
"Wind, please gather all the fog together."
"wind!"
The moment the tip of the magic wand pointed at the Wind Card, the Wind Card, which was originally a paper card, instantly turned into flowing wind, and then the flowing wind turned into chains, sweeping all the mist into a light green wind ball.
Then the wind brought a light green wind ball to the window, and Sakura chanted while smashing the bird-head magic wand at the wind ball.
"Return to your original form - Clow Card!"
bite--!
The illusory card appeared, and the wind brought a large amount of light green mist and poured into the illusory card.
And when all the mist was swallowed up by the illusory cards, two Clow Cards appeared at the tip of the bird-headed wand and then floated into Sakura's hands.
“Success!”
After getting rid of the chaotic fog card, Sakura couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"ah--!"
But the crisis was not over. A scream was heard, and the already shaky platform cracked again, and Touya and the prince on the platform fell down.
Seeing that the two were about to get hurt, Little Wolf raised his sword high and stuck a talisman on the sword.
"Fenghua is coming!"
In an instant, a breeze gushed out from the talisman, turning into a flowing wind ball that protected the fallen Touya and the prince. Then the wind ball slowly floated down, and the fallen Touya and the prince also landed gently on the ground.
No one was injured, which is good news.
Seeing that her brother was not injured, Xiaoying felt relieved and turned to smile at Xiaolang: "Thank you, Li."
“Hmm…”
Being thanked suddenly, Xiaolang blushed and couldn't help turning his head away: "I... I just don't want anyone to get hurt."
"Xiao Ming, you should accept the thanks with a clear conscience at this time. It's not cute at all to be stubborn." Xia Yu tapped Li Xiaolang with his magic wand and teased with a smile.
Just when he pulled out his wand and was about to use "Shock Absorption and Speed Stop", Li Xiaolang's "Fenghua Summoning" had already been used. Although he didn't want to admit it, Li Xiaolang's reaction speed was indeed a little faster than his.
"I... No, my name is not Xiao Ming, my name is Li Xiaolang!"
"Okay, Xiao Ming, no problem, Xiao Ming."
Seeing that Li Xiaolang was about to quarrel with Xia Yu again, Xiaoying hurried forward to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, we should leave, otherwise it will be bad if we are discovered."
After the few people left the window, Touya, who was rescued, looked up at the window and seemed to have discovered something.
Stars and Stripes High School, playground.
Dusk time.
The platform for the drama performance suddenly collapsed, causing the stage to be damaged, so the following performance had to be cancelled.
However, although the following performances were cancelled, the bonfire party in the evening was not affected and could even start earlier.
With the students' construction, in a short while, a simple stage had been built on the empty playground, and even the sound equipment had been put up.
In the center of the playground, a bonfire had been lit. The orange-red bonfire illuminated the surroundings, making the evening warm.
Sakura and the others had already left the gymnasium by now, and after walking around for a while, they came to the playground.
"Hmm... Sakura's heroic appearance is indeed very handsome, but it's a pity that she is wearing a normal uniform, not the battle uniform I designed."
Tomoyo took Xia Yu's camera and watched the previous video. After watching the process of Sakura sealing the Clow Cards, she said with some regret.
In response, Sakura smiled helplessly.
But Tomoyo changed the subject and said with a smile: "But fortunately, no major accident happened."
"Yeah." Sakura nodded, but the next second, her eyes lit up and she waved happily, "Brother Snow Rabbit!"
Not far away, Xuetu, who had already taken off his costume, walked towards them and said to them with a smile: "It was really dangerous just now."
Sakura also smiled and nodded, "Yeah, luckily no one was hurt."
Seeing the snow rabbit coming over, the little wolf next to him blushed again, then bowed slightly and complimented: "The canned mackerel performed very well."
Snow Rabbit also smiled and bowed in return: "Ah, thank you."
Only then did Sakura realize what was happening and asked, "By the way, where is my brother?"
"He's fine." Xuetu replied with a smile, "But someone is looking for him now, and it's something very important."
"Huh?"
Sakura was a little confused after hearing this answer. Someone was looking for her brother? Or was it something important?
Is her stinky brother so popular?
Time passes slowly, the setting sun gradually sinks into the horizon, and the afterglow is about to take away the last trace of warmth covering the earth.
The bonfire party has begun. The speakers on the stage bring soft music, and people are dancing simple dances around the blazing flames to the beat.
Among them was Touya Kinomoto, who was dancing with a female classmate.
When the dance ended, Touya stopped dancing and walked towards Sakura and the others.
Seeing her brother coming over, Sakura couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were participating in the play?"
Touya did not answer Sakura, but looked at Yukito and said in dissatisfaction: "You told her."
Yukito smiled and nodded, without making any excuses. But the next second, he had already taken Sakura's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go dance."
After that, before Sakura could react, Yukito pulled Sakura in front of the bonfire and started a simple dance with the crowd.
Watching Yukito pulling Sakura to dance, Syaoran's face showed three parts of shock, three parts of envy, three parts of disbelief, and one part of jealousy.
Xia Yu noticed Xiaolang's fan-shaped statistical chart expression, grinned, and suddenly stretched out his hand to Zhishi.
"Tomoyo, can I invite you to dance with me?"
Zhishi was slightly startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Sure."
After saying this, Zhishi took Xia Yu's outstretched hand, and the two of them walked into the dancing crowd together.
Syaoran first looked at Sakura who was dancing with Yukito, then looked at Xia Yu and Tomoyo who had already started dancing, and suddenly felt as if he was a little redundant.
Fortunately, he was not alone here.
Thinking of this, Syaoran couldn't help but look at Touya beside him, and coincidentally Touya also looked over at this time.
Touya: (ー`′ー)
Little Wolf: ⊙_⊙
"Why, kid, forget it. I won't dance with you."
"Humph, who wants to dance with you?"
…
The bonfire party lasted until nine o'clock in the evening before it gradually came to an end. Most people who had had fun all day went home, leaving only some logistics staff to clean up.
Sakura and the others didn't play too late because the next day was Monday and they all went home around seven or eight o'clock.
After sealing the fog card, normal life returned, but this time it was unexpectedly short. After just a week, the strange weather came again.
This time it was a storm, and although it looked like ordinary weather, Sakura could sense the presence of magic.
Moreover, this storm has lasted for a day and a night, and its range is only in Tomoeda Town. It is obvious that this is not an ordinary weather change.
After discussing with Xiaoke, Sakura immediately decided to go out and investigate at night.
Back mountain street at night.
"Sakura, this is the battle uniform this time, the witch uniform. I sewed it with waterproof fabric, so it can be used as a raincoat."
Inside the RV, Tomoyo took out a witch costume with a big cloak and a witch hat. The outside of the suit was dark blue and the inside was dark red. With the blue shorts, it looked very cute.
"This..." Sakura took the clothes handed over by Tomoyo and couldn't help but worriedly said: "Tomoyo, are you going too? It's storming outside, otherwise you'd better not go."
"no."
Tomoyo crossed her arms and shook her head firmly: "For the sake of photographing Sakura's heroic figure, what does this little difficulty matter? Besides..."
As he was talking, Zhishi suddenly turned his head to look at the other person in the RV and said with a sweet smile: "Xia classmate will definitely protect me, right?"
"If there is a headwind, I can withstand it from all directions. Even if there are violent storms and numerous obstacles ahead, I will protect you." Xia Yu leaned against the wall of the RV, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
Sakura: ...
"Well, since classmate Xia said so..."
Seeing that Sakura agreed to her request, Tomoyo smiled while holding up the camera.
A few minutes later, Sakura changed into her battle uniform in the dressing room inside the RV, and the others went along the street to investigate.
"Xiao Ke, what is the Clow Card this time?"
This time, Kero also followed, and when he heard Sakura's question, he poked his little head out from under Sakura's cloak.
"This time it should be the Storm Card. The Storm Card has the magic to control the storm, so it is raining heavily."
Xiao Ke had just finished speaking when a strong gust of wind suddenly blew from the front. The strong wind made the steps of the three people a little shaky.
"I feel it! It's just up ahead."
Under the strong wind, Xiao Ke held on to Sakura's clothes tightly to avoid being blown away.
"Okay, let's go there quickly."
Sakura took a deep breath and walked forward step by step against the storm. Tomoyo, who was holding a camera behind her, was swaying as if she was about to be blown over by the wind.
But soon, an arm supported her body and helped her stabilize herself.
Looking at Xia Yu who was helping him, Zhishi smiled sweetly, then took a deep breath and walked forward again.
In a short while, the three of them withstood the strong wind and rain and saw the center of the explosion. It was a rotating tornado, but it was not as thick as a real tornado.
"Is that the Arashi brand?"
Sakura looked at the tornado and tried to get closer to seal it, but her body was blown back repeatedly.
"No, I can't get close!"
"Show us your perseverance!" Xiao Ke grabbed Sakura's clothes and encouraged her, but it was of no use, Sakura was still blown back.
Only after he hugged a small tree with both hands did he avoid being blown away by the storm.
"Humph! If you want to seal the Storm Card, you have to weaken it. Don't you even know this?"
Suddenly, Li Xiaolang's voice was heard, and Li Xiaolang, dressed in a green Taoist robe, was seen resisting the strong wind and walking towards the tornado step by step.
"Student Li!"
Sakura looked at the figure with some concern, and Xiao Ke also hurriedly shouted: "It's dangerous, don't go!"
Sure enough, the moment Li Xiaolang approached the edge of the tornado, the wind intensified, and his thin body was blown up and directly taken into it.
However, Li Xiaolang, who was blown into the sky, did not scream in panic, but followed the direction of the tornado into the eye.
The eye of a tornado is not safe, but compared to the violent outside, there is not much wind inside the eye and it is relatively calm.
Moreover, the pressure inside a tornado is the weakest, and as long as it is subjected to force, the entire tornado will disperse.
Li Xiaolang, who had entered the eye of the storm, raised his sword high and chanted, "The Thunder Emperor is here, hurry up and obey the command!"
In an instant, golden thunder appeared on the sword, and Li Xiaolang struck it fiercely at the bottom of the eye of the storm.
Boom——!
The terrifying golden thunder exploded in the eye of the tornado with destructive momentum. The dazzling golden light pierced through the darkness and illuminated the entire tornado.
Suffering such a strong blow, the tornado collapsed directly, the storm gradually subsided, and the strong winds and heavy rains gradually died down.
"Now, Sakura!"
Seeing that the Storm Card was no longer a threat, Kero quickly gave instructions, and Sakura let go of the tree she was holding on to, then ran over to the wisp of smoke.
The originally strong tornado had now turned into a small wisp of green smoke. Taking this opportunity, Sakura gently moved the magic wand in her hand forward.
"Return to your original form - Clow Card!"
An illusory card appeared at the tip of the magic wand, and the wisp of green smoke was also sucked into the card.
After a few seconds, the colorful virtual card turned into a paper card. Just as Sakura was about to catch it, the card suddenly floated in one direction, which was the direction of Li Syaoran.
After shattering the tornado, Li Xiaolang, without the support of wind, fell from the air onto a tree. Since he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, he was not injured.
Seeing Li Syaoran catching the Clow Card, Xiao Ke had to admit: "Although I am reluctant, this little brat is indeed more powerful this time."
After successfully obtaining the Arashi card, Li Syaoran wanted to criticize Sakura as usual, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed his mind.
"If you don't want me to take your Clow Cards next time, then work hard to become stronger."
Xiaoying was slightly startled when she heard this, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Li."
"Hmph, don't think too much. I haven't recognized you yet."
Taoist Priest Li always kept in mind his arrogant personality. After saying this, he jumped away from the scene.
"Stinky brat!"
Seeing Li Syaoran leaving triumphantly, Xiao Ke gritted his teeth and yelled at Li Syaoran's back, "Don't be so proud for too long. I will definitely find a way to make Xiaoying beat you."
Seeing Xiaoke so excited, Sakura looked at Tomoyo and Xia Yu who were walking over and smiled helplessly.
…
Night at the Kinomoto family.
Sakura's bedroom.
Although the Clow Cards were taken away by Li this time, Sakura didn't actually have any thoughts in her mind. After all, besides Li, Xia would also take the Clow Cards occasionally.
But I don't know if it was Xiaolang's words that stimulated Xiaoke. Since returning home, Xiaoke has been sitting on the table with his hands in his pockets and closing his eyes in deep thought. It seems that he is sulking, but also seems to be thinking about something.
This look of Xiao Ke is very rare for Sakura. After all, Xiao Ke is usually either eating or playing games, and it is rare for him to be so serious.
"Xiao Ke, I don't really care about Li taking the Clow Card. After all, without Li's help, I can't seal this Clow Card."
After Sakura said this, Xiao Ke still didn't react.
Seeing this, Sakura took a few steps forward and came to Xiaoke: "Xiaoke? Xiaoke?"
Sakura called out twice again, but Xiaoke still ignored her. Instead, he just closed his eyes, frowned, and shook his head.
Seeing that Xiao Ke ignored her, Xiao Ying suddenly became angry. She took a deep breath and then yelled with all her strength.
“Xiao Ke——!!!”
“Ahhh!!!”
The sudden sound shocked Xiaoke so much that even his small eyes widened and became as big as bells.
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”
After coming to his senses, Xiao Ke howled to the sky and angrily pounded the table with his little fists. After hitting it several times, he yelled at Sakura in dissatisfaction.
"Why are you yelling so loudly? I'm helping you figure out how to defeat that brat!"
"Eh? Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoying's momentum suddenly weakened, and she smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, what method did you think of?"
"Method?" Facing Sakura's expectant gaze, Xiao Ke was stunned, and his wings that had been raised drooped down weakly: "Eh? I forgot."
Sakura: “…”
"Really? You made me so excited."
Seeing Xiaoke's infuriating look, Sakura yelled at Xiaoke in dissatisfaction.
Xiao Ke retorted unconvincedly: "I really thought of it just now, but you yelled so stupidly that I forgot it."
"I'm not stupid!"
"No! You just yelled stupidly!"
"I didn't!"
"Alas--!"
The friendship boat capsized at any time. The two were unwilling to accept each other. After a heavy snort, they turned their heads away and no longer looked at each other.
Xiao Ke, who turned his back and folded his arms, spoke first: "I need a quiet environment to think, a quiet environment where I won't be disturbed by Xiaoying!"
Sakura also crossed her arms and said unconvincedly, "I'm not bothering you."
"You have!"
"I don't!"
"If I say yes, then yes!"
Xiao Ke gritted his teeth and couldn't help jumping on the table to refute. Seeing Xiao Ke like this, Xiao Ying also snorted heavily.
"I didn't! Humph, I'm ignoring you!"
After saying that, Sakura ignored Xiaoke who was angry, walked to the door angrily, turned off the lights, and went straight to bed.
"Good night!!!"
Hearing Sakura's angry goodnight, Xiao Ke was also very dissatisfied and muttered in a low voice: "Humph! I finally thought of a good idea, Sakura you idiot!"
