Chapter 303 A wonderful consensus
Not long after, Sakura and Li Syaoran, who had changed their clothes, were brought back by Tomoyo and Xia Yu.
The clothes Sakura changed into were a cream-colored bodysuit with blue stockings, and a pink cape that reached her calves and was fastened to her body with a large bow. She also wore a large hat of the same color on her head.
"Oh my, I've wanted Sakura to wear this dress for a long time. Sakura is really cute."
After pulling Sakura to an open area, Tomoyo quickly took out the camera to film Sakura in this state. Sakura also showed herself shyly.
"Don't look at it. Just go over there."
Seeing that Li Syaoran was looking at Xiaoying who had changed her clothes in a daze, Xia Yu reached out and pushed Li Syaoran to Xiaoying's side.
Li Syaoran suddenly came to Sakura's side, looked at Sakura with a blushing face, scratched his face, but did not refuse to leave.
Facing Tomoyo's filming, the two stood together shyly. After Tomoyo finished filming, Sakura happily spoke to Li Syaoran.
"Great! I've finally collected all the lost Clow Cards."
"Yes, yes, in short, you did a good job." Li Syaoran's face turned slightly red, and he praised Sakura uncomfortably.
Hearing Li Syaoran's praise for her, Xiaoying smiled and said, "Thank you."
In response to Sakura's thanks, Li Syaoran's eyes drifted and he somehow caught a glimpse of Xiaoke who was squatting nearby.
Seeing that Xiao Ke seemed a little unhappy, Li Xiaolang said casually: "But Keruberos seems to be worried and doesn't look very happy."
Upon hearing this, Sakura also looked at Xiaoke who was squatting on the ground. It seemed that Xiaoke had been in a depressed state ever since she sealed the Earth Card.
Thinking back to the word that Xiao Huan mentioned after returning to his true form, Xiao Ying suddenly asked, "Mr. Li, do you know Yue?"
"moon?"
Li Xiaolang thought for a moment and replied, "If it is the moon I know, then it should be another guardian of the Clow Cards."
"The one who controls the sun is the Sealed Beast, Kelberos, and the one who controls the moon is the Judge, Moon, who was created by Clow Reed to protect the Clow Cards."
"Judge? Judgement?"
Hearing this word again, Sakura was stunned. When Xia handed the Clow Cards to her, she seemed to have mentioned the word "judgment", but at that time Xia did not further explain what "judgment" meant.
"Student Li, do you know what a trial is?"
"I do not know."
Li Xiaolang shook his head and said, "There is no detailed record of Yue in any of Kuro's magic books."
Hearing this, Sakura looked at Xia Yu who was watching the video with Tomoyo, and couldn't help but ask.
"Xia, you also mentioned the word trial. Can you tell me what trial means?"
"What? You know about trial too!?"
As soon as Xia Yu asked this question, Xiao Ke looked at Xia Yu nervously before he could say anything.
It is the selector of Kuro's magic successor, and Yue is the judge of the successor. Before Yue's trial, it must not reveal any information about the trial, because this is the only way to ensure fairness.
Therefore, it is really worried about whether Sakura can pass the trial, but due to the rules, it cannot reveal anything about the trial to Sakura.
And there was no record of the trial, how did this guy know about it? Could he have told Sakura about the trial?
Thoughts in his mind were churning, and Xiaoke looked at Xia Yu nervously. If Xia Yu really told Xiaoying everything, then wouldn't it be a waste of time to hide it?
However, before Xia Yu could answer, Xiaoke's excited look had already attracted the attention of others at the scene.
Facing everyone's gaze, Xiaoke couldn't help but sweat dripping down his forehead. Oh no, it seemed that he had accidentally mentioned the matter of trial?
"Xiao Ke, do you also know about the trial?"
"I……"
"It's no use talking about this now. You'll know in a little while, Sakura. You haven't written your name on the Clow Card yet, right?"
Seeing that Xiaoke didn't know how to answer, Xia Yu suddenly interrupted the topic and said to Xiaoying.
"Huh? Not yet." Sakura shook her head and replied.
"Then Sakura, hurry up and write your name on the Clow Card. I'm ready." Tomoyo suddenly raised the camera and pointed it at Sakura. Seeing this, Sakura was a little flustered and quickly took out the ground card and prepared to write her name on it.
Seeing this, Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't want to deceive Sakura, but he couldn't reveal anything about the trial until all the Clow Cards were found.
Fortunately, Xia Yu rescued it, although it was also that kid who put it in a dilemma.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ke looked at Xia Yu who was walking towards him. Just as he was about to ask him how he knew about the trial, Xia Yu spoke first.
"Don't ask. If you ask, it's a secret, and secrets can't be told to you casually."
"..."
Hearing this, Xiaoke was a little speechless. Since it is a secret, don't tell it to other people casually!
Looking at Xiao Ke's speechless eyes, Xia Yu could guess what it was thinking. He smiled and leaned over to say, "Don't worry, Xiao Ying only knows about the trial, and doesn't know anything else. I know the rules."
"Why do you know?"
"I know a lot more. I even know who Yue is pretending to be."
"What!?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ke was about to shout in surprise, but suddenly he reacted and covered his mouth with his paw.
It looked at Xia Yu in disbelief and whispered, "How did you know? Even I don't know."
"Because I am the Chosen One, you bastard~"
"Tsk, you little brat."
Xiaoke glared at Xia Yu in dissatisfaction. This kid was still so annoying.
Facing Xiao Ke's dissatisfied gaze, Xia Yu was not annoyed. Instead, he leaned over again and asked, "Actually, I have a question I've wanted to ask you for a long time. Can you answer it for me?"
"Don't you know everything? How dare you ask me questions?"
Xiao Ke first responded with dissatisfaction, and then reluctantly replied: "Ask, what's the problem?"
"You and Yue are both guardians, right? Since you are the sealed beast in charge of the sun, why not call yourself Sun? It just happens to correspond to the moon?"
"Tsk, is this such a boring question? Obviously, the answer to this question can be seen at a glance."
Xiao Ke waved his paw and replied directly: "You should know, right? Clow Reed is a mixed Chinese and Western ancestry, and the Clow Cards he created are also a mixture of Eastern and Western magic."
"so what?"
"So Yue and I each master two different directions of magic. Yue masters Eastern magic, so his name is named after the Chinese character "Yue", and I master Western magic, so I am named after the English name "Cerberus."
"Is that so? So that's it." Xia Yu nodded in understanding. It was the first time he knew that Xiaoke and Yue's names had such a meaning.
"But according to this naming convention, shouldn't your name be "Sun"? Why is it "Cerberus"? This is clearly the name of the three-headed dog of hell."
"...You'll have to ask Clow Rido about this. How would I know?"
"That's right. Clow Reed is indeed a wicked fellow. He actually gave you a dog's name."
"You're right."
Xiao Ke nodded in agreement, and the two reached a wonderful consensus at this moment.
The two settings in this chapter are actually my guesses.
The first setting is that Xiao Ke cannot reveal anything about the trial, this is for the sake of fairness. I looked at the comics and animations and didn't see this setting, but I think it must exist, otherwise Xiao Ke wouldn't hide it.
The second setting is that Kero and Yue are named after each other. Neither the comics nor the animation mentions this, but Yue is indeed named after the Chinese character "月", and Kero's English name is "Cerberus". Yue's setting also mentions that it masters Eastern magic, so based on this setting, it is speculated that Kero masters Western magic, and their names are also named according to the direction of magic they each master.
