Chapter 298 There is only inevitability
Inside the shrine, on the lawn.

"Well, I'll leave for a while."

After finishing lunch, Sakura was worried that Xiaoke had not returned yet. She was still a little worried, so she said this and left in a hurry.

Since she had no clue at all, she could only follow the main road inside the shrine to look for it.

"Xiao Ke! Xiao Ke!"

After searching and calling for a while, Xiaoying still couldn't see Xiaoke. Just when she was about to look along the road again, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at a nearby worship hall.

The worship hall is the place for worship and prayer in the shrine. Generally, worship is done outside the worship hall, while formal worship is done inside the worship hall.

Looking at the worship hall, Sakura thought for a moment, took off her shoes and walked in. Seeing that there was no one inside, she went down the stairs to the back of the corridor, and then she met an unexpected person at the corner.

"Eh? Teacher Mizuki?"

Looking at Guanyue Utahan who was kneeling in the corridor, Xiaoying was a little confused for a moment, while Guanyue Utahan smiled gently.

"I thought if we were going to have a conversation, it would be better to do it in a quiet place."

"conversation?"

Hearing this, Sakura followed the direction of Kanzuki Utaho's sight and saw a yellow doll sitting on the wooden railing with its arms folded across its chest.

"Xiao Ke!!"

The air fell into silence for a moment, and Sakura looked at the scene in astonishment. She never thought that Xiao Ke would come to see Teacher Guanyue.

Looking at Xiaoying's extremely surprised expression, Guanyue Utahan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, we had a very happy conversation."

"that……"

Although Mizuki Utaho said so, Sakura still hesitated and didn't know how to explain.

Seeing this, Xiaoying took the initiative to fly to Xiaoying and explained: "It's okay, this elder sister also knows a lot of things, there is no need to hide it."

"So Teacher Guanyue also knew about this."

Hearing Xiao Ke say this, Sakura finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Guan Yue Gefan, who also responded with a faint smile.

"Isn't it time to go back? Your companions are waiting for you."

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, Sakura hurriedly took Xiao Ke back to the lunch place, and Kanzuki Utaho followed.

Although she didn't know why Teacher Mizuki wanted to stay with them, Sakura still expressed her welcome.

After clearing away the things that were placed on the lawn, they all walked around the shrine together.

The four little ones walked in front, while Guan Yue Gefan and Xue Tu slowly fell behind.

As I walked around, time slowly came to the afternoon. The dim sunlight dyed the sky. The towering Tokyo Tower stood in the distance and could be seen just by looking up.

Sakura stared at the Tokyo Tower in the distance in a daze, and last night's dream once again emerged in her mind.

"Woo..."

Suddenly, she was distracted and accidentally bumped into something furry when she was leaving the shrine.

"Yeah, sorry."

After subconsciously apologizing, Sakura looked up and saw a person wearing a teddy bear costume and holding a balloon in his hand, who looked a bit like a staff member inside the shrine.

"Bear?"

In response to her apology, Mao Xiong did not respond, but silently handed over a balloon in his hand.

"Want some for me?"

"Ah."

"Thank you."

Although she didn't know why he gave her a balloon, Sakura still thanked him happily. After she got the balloon, the bear suddenly attacked her, put his hand on her head and started rubbing it.

"Ugh——?" Sakura screamed subconsciously at the sudden attack. Hearing the sound, Tomoyo quickly ran over to pull Sakura away. Li Syaoran also directly said to Mao Xiong in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing?"

The bear didn't answer, but quietly took off his hood, revealing a face that Sakura was quite familiar with.

"elder brother?"

Sakura stared at Touya in doll costume, and said dumbfoundedly: "Brother, you really are working part-time everywhere."

Seeing that the staff member was actually Toya, Li Syaoran's eyes became even more dissatisfied, and the others were also a little surprised.

Looking at Touya who was wearing a doll costume but still had a cold face, Yukito couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It suits you very well. But it's really a coincidence that we can meet here."

"That's right."

Sakura also subconsciously agreed, always feeling that every time she went out to play, she would run into her brother who was working part-time.

But Touya still didn't react to their words, and seeing this, Sakura tilted her head slightly in confusion.

"elder brother?"

After looking at Sakura for a while, Touya finally looked away and said unclearly: "There is no such thing as coincidence in this world."

As soon as he said this, Guan Yue Ge Fan beside him seemed to have expected it and continued, "It's just inevitable."

"This sentence……"

When Sakura heard her brother and Teacher Guanyue say this together, she blinked. She always felt like she had heard this sentence somewhere before, as if someone had said this to her before.

By the way, classmate Xia seemed to have said something similar, but she seemed to have forgotten when she said it.

Thinking about it this way, Xiaoke also said something similar. They all seemed to believe that there is no such thing as coincidence in the world. Are all encounters inevitable?
After chatting for a few minutes, Touya put on the doll headgear again and waved goodbye.

After Touya left, Kanzuki Utaho also smiled and said, "Let's go home early before it gets dark."

"it is good."

Sakura nodded in response. At this moment, Tomoyo suddenly asked, "Sakura, aren't you wearing a hat? Where's your hat?"

"Yes!"

Sakura touched her head blankly, only to find that the hat she was wearing had disappeared without her noticing it at all.

"Maybe I forgot it somewhere?"

"Hmm... I remember taking it down when I was eating my lunch box."

"It should be nearby, let's go look for it."

"it is good."

Sakura nodded in response to Yukito's suggestion, holding the balloon and hurriedly ran back the way she came, intending to follow this road back to where they had lunch, where her hat should have fallen.

Behind her, Tomoyo and the other two were walking together, while Yukito and Kanzuki were at the back.

"Mr. Xia, can you use magic to find Sakura's hat directly?" After walking for a distance, Tomoyo suddenly asked Xia Yu, who had been quiet for the whole day.

"Yes, I can make Sakura's hat fly into my hand right now." Xia Yu nodded without denying.

After all, he knew the Flying Spell, and the Flying Spell did not require the object to be within the caster's sight. As long as the caster clearly imagined the object in his mind, he could summon it.

Now, if he says "hat fly over here", Sakura's hat will automatically fly into his hands.

"Then how about helping Sakura? Otherwise I don't know how long it will take to find her."

"I can help, but I think something will happen during the search."

Xia Yu felt the silence around him and replied casually, after all, Sakura's hat would not be lost for no reason, and given the current atmosphere, it would be a great opportunity for the Clow Cards to suddenly appear and cause trouble.

"Something happened? What?"

Just as Zhishi opened his mouth to ask the question, something strange happened. The ground around him shook slightly, as if an earthquake had occurred.
