Chapter 397 Going to see Kuro
After the temple fair, Li Xiaolang still couldn't make up his mind and was still waiting for the opportunity to come in hesitation.
As time passed, the weather changes were not very obvious. When winter passed and early spring came, a heavy snow fell.
Although the heavy snow was nothing unusual, it snowed once again on campus, and Sakura could sense the presence of Clow Reed.
night.
On campus.
The falling snow automatically gathered into countless little snowmen. These little snowmen wore red gloves and floated in the air, chasing after Sakura who was wearing roller skates.
Xiao Ke, who came with them to investigate, was already trapped in the snow, with only a big furry head showing. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get out.
At the same time, above the campus, Yue, who had also come here, raised his hand and waved it. Light blue magic light condensed in his hand. Countless ice crystals condensed in the light and were shot downwards by him.
However, those ice crystals were blocked by an invisible barrier. With the barrier as an obstacle, not only did it fail to help Sakura, it couldn't even enter the campus.
Looking at the barrier covering the entire campus, Yue frowned subconsciously and said, "Is it still useless?"
At the edge of the playground on campus, Tomoyo and a few others stood there silently, watching Sakura being chased by the snowman.
"What's going on with these snowmen? They can never be completely eliminated." Li Syaoran couldn't help but mutter as he looked at the large group of little snowmen chasing Sakura.
He also wanted to help, but after his magic shattered the snowmen, the snowmen quickly gathered together again and were not hurt at all.
"It's not a big problem. Sakura will definitely be able to deal with these little snowmen."
Xia Yu looked at the snowmen chasing Xiaoying and said casually: "Just looking at so many snowmen reminds me of a song."
"Song?" Chise, who was holding a camera and filming, looked over curiously when he heard it.
"Yeah, let me think, how do you sing it?"
Xia Yu nodded and sang in remembrance: "You love me~ I love you~ Mixue Ice City is sweet~"
“I think I’ve heard this song somewhere.”
Zhishi listened to the song Xia Yu just hummed, thought for a moment and asked, "Is it the American folk song "Oh, Susanna"? The rhythm is exactly the same."
"I guess so. After all, the song I just sang was adapted from this folk song."
Hearing the conversation between Zhishi and Xia Yu, Li Xiaolang couldn't help but turn his head and said, "Are you guys not nervous at all? You're still discussing singing and so on at this time."
"Why are you so nervous? Don't you trust Sakura?"
Xia Yu spread his hands, looked at Xiaoying who was being chased by the snowman and said, "It depends on whether Xiaoying can think of it. It's not difficult to deal with snowmen. Let alone powerful cards like fire and water, snow cards alone are enough to deal with these little snowmen."
Hearing what Xia Yu said, Li Xiaolang pursed his lips, sighed softly and did not refute. What Xia Yu said was right.
Although the little snowman looks difficult to deal with, it is only made of snow after all. If Sakura wants to, she can easily deal with it.
On the other side, Sakura was being chased by the snowman and was running away with her head in her hands, looking miserable.
It's as if these little snowmen can track us and we can't get rid of them at all. If we want to deal with them, we can't just run away.
But before she could come up with any solution, the little snowmen had already launched an attack. Their little hands were waving and throwing balls of snow at her.
As time went on, more and more snow covered her.
"Woo..."
Until a weak scream was heard, the snow on Sakura's body finally crushed her completely, but the snowmen's attacks had not stopped.
Under the attack of countless snowballs, a large snowman prototype appeared. Sakura, who was buried in it, pushed the snowman's head away and finally became unhappy and angry.
"If that's what you guys are saying!"
She casually pulled out the Clow Card she had prepared from her pocket and threw it forward.
"Clow Cards created by Clow, abandon your old form and reincarnate anew. I command you in the name of your new master, Sakura."
"Snow!"
Magic power gathered, the light shifted, and a cold white snow card appeared immediately. Sakura took the opportunity to give orders.
"Snow! Bury them all."
As soon as the words fell, the snow card that looked like a snow girl opened its arms and countless cold winds and snows broke out.
Under the strong wind and blizzard, the little snowmen screamed one after another, with surprised expressions on their faces, but they were ultimately unable to escape and were completely wiped out by the wind and snow of the snow cards.
After dealing with the little snowmen, the snow card was transformed into a Sakura card and fell into Sakura's hands.
Seeing that Sakura's problem was solved, Tomoyo and the others hurried over. Kero, who was trapped in the snow, and Yue, who was unable to enter the campus, also successfully broke through the obstacles and landed next to Sakura.
Looking at Xiaoying who had successfully solved the problem, Xia Yu poked Li Xiaolang beside him and said with a smile: "See, I told you that we can trust Xiaoying, right? She can easily solve these strange things."
"Yes, yes, these strange things are not a problem. Sakura can overcome them all." Xiao Ke on the side also nodded in agreement.
"Maybe Sakura can become a more powerful magician than Kuro."
Hearing Xiao Ke's praise, Xiao Ying scratched her head a little embarrassedly and said, "How is it possible..."
"Don't underestimate yourself, Sakura. Not to mention the future, it won't be long before you become stronger than Clow Reed." Xia Yu also nodded and continued.
After all the Clow Cards are converted into Sakura Cards, Sakura's power will indeed exceed that of Clow Reed. This is a fact that Elio himself acknowledged in the original work.
But just as he finished speaking, Yue on the side suddenly objected: "No, it's still too early. If you want to catch up with Kuro, you still have a long way to go."
Hearing Yue's disappointing words, Xiao Ke couldn't help but said with a little dissatisfaction: "Why are you talking so seriously?"
"I'm just telling the truth."
Hearing the conversation between the few people, Sakura looked at her Star Staff, recalled the time she met Clow Reed, and fell into thought for a moment.
"Mr. Kuro..."
That night, at Sakura's house.
Sakura tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, thinking about Clow Reed's affairs in her mind.
As if noticing the movement on the bed, Xiao Ke, who was sleeping in the drawer, pushed the drawer open, leaned on the edge of the drawer and asked, "What's wrong? Can't you sleep?"
"Um……"
After responding, Sakura asked, "Kero-chan, what kind of person is Mr. Kuro?"
"Why do you ask so suddenly?"
“I feel very concerned.”
Xiaoying couldn't help but push the quilt away and sat up, looking at Xiaoke and said: "You guys said just now that with my current strength, I can handle anything, but Yue said that I still have a long way to go, so..."
"There must be other reasons why Yue cares so much about Kuro." Seeing that Sakura cared so much about the conversation just now, Xiao Ke supported her face with one hand and explained.
"Then you won't miss Mr. Kuro?"
"Yes, he is indeed very memorable."
"Right."
"But that was a long time ago."
"Eh?"
Xiaoke's change of words surprised Xiaoying a little.
"You are my master now, so the current Sakura is more important to me than the past Kuro."
Hearing what Xiao Ke said, Xiao Ying said quickly: "But I am not as powerful as Mr. Kuro. When strange things happen, I can only try my best to solve them. I think if it was Mr. Kuro, this kind of thing would never happen..."
As she spoke, Sakura became a little unconfident again, and couldn't help but continue: "So is it really okay for me to be your new master?"
"What are you talking about?"
Seeing Sakura like this, Xiao Ke couldn't help but fly over, came to Sakura and replied seriously: "Of course it's great!"
"But……"
"Kuro is Kuro, and you are you. There is no point in comparing yourself with him, and there is no need to compare yourself with him."
After patting her head to comfort her, Xiao Ke helped pull up the quilt and urged her, "Okay, okay, don't think about that, go to sleep."
"Um……"
After covering Sakura with the quilt, Xiao Ke glanced at the heavy snow falling outside the window, and instead of returning to his drawer, he flew to the windowsill.
"It's snowing really hard today, just like that day."
"That day?"
Xiaoying suddenly spoke, Xiaoke looked over and asked, "What's wrong? Did you hear it?"
"Ah."
"Because you keep mentioning Kuro, it reminds me of the scene when he died."
"Before Mr. Craw passed away?"
"Yes."
Xiao Ke replied with a hint of nostalgia: "It was also this season, and it was snowing heavily that day."
"He had been very healthy before. Even after hundreds of years, his magic power had not diminished at all. But that day he suddenly said, 'My time has come, so we have to separate today.'"
"That person was so selfish even before he died, he just wanted to separate from us, so I always feel that he is still alive and is still teasing us."
"Eh?"
After hearing what Xiao Ke said, Xiao Ying suddenly realized something, and Xiao Ke also asked in confusion: "What's going on? Why are your eyes so wide open?"
"You just said that Mr. Kuro might still be alive. Maybe..."
"I was just kidding, just kidding."
Hearing this, Xiao Ke quickly waved his hands and said, "Yue and I were by Kuro's side when he died. He can't be alive."
"But why is it that every time something strange happens, I can sense Mr. Kuro's presence?"
"that is because……"
Xiao Ke crossed his arms and thought for a moment, then explained, "Maybe Kuro did something before he died. His magic power was really strong. Maybe he can use the remaining magic after his death."
After hearing this explanation, Sakura closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, then her expression immediately became firm.
"I've made up my mind. I'm going to meet him to confirm this matter."
"Who to meet?"
"Mr. Kuro."
"Huh? How are you going to see him? He's already dead."
Xiao Ke was surprised, but Xiao Ying shook her head and said, "It's not to see the dead Mr. Kuro, but to see Mr. Kuro in the past. I can use the return card to go back to the past."
"Since Mr. Kuro can foresee the future, maybe he in the past knew that I would go to see him in the present?"
