Chapter 43 The World Treats Me Gently
"So, what I just saw was fake?"

After Xiaoke's explanation, Sakura gradually understood what had just happened.

After learning that what she just saw was not her mother, but an illusion created by the magic card, her expression gradually became lost: "It turns out that it was not my mother, it was just an illusion..."

Because she missed her mother, she saw her mother here.

The atmosphere around them gradually became depressing. Before Xiaoke could say anything to comfort him, Xia Yu suddenly flicked his finger and sent Xiaoke flying. Xiaoke screamed and spun several times in the air before stopping.

"You little brat, what are you doing!" After steadying himself, Xiao Ke looked at Xia Yu angrily and yelled.

"I wonder how evil your master is."

Xia Yu curled his lips and couldn't help complaining: "When the Water Card was sealed, the Water Card wanted to drag people into the water and drown them. The Illusion Card was even more excessive. It actually wanted to lure people to fall off the cliff. Tell me for yourself, are the Clow Cards cruel?"

"This……"

Xiao Ke was stunned and fell silent. Although he wanted to defend his master Kurolido, what Xia Yu had just said was also true.

If Xia Yu hadn't made Xiaoying faint just now, Xiaoying might have really fallen off the cliff.

"Sakura, I'm sorry I couldn't help. It was really dangerous this time, but I couldn't do anything." Xiao Ke floated in front of Sakura with an apologetic look on his face.

Seeing Xiao Ke's self-blaming expression, Xiao Ying suddenly smiled: "Thank you, Xiao Ke. Although that is not my mother, I know that my mother is not alone here. If I could see her, of course I would be happy. But I would be happier if she was in the beautiful heaven."

Sakura's sensible words gradually made the originally depressed atmosphere disappear. Looking at Sakura who was forcing a smile, Xia Yu felt silent in his heart.

The soul of Sakura's mother in the original work is real. He just remembered that in the cartoon of the original work, Sakura did fall off a cliff.

But at that time, the spirit of Sakura's mother, Nadeshiko Kinomoto, appeared, forcibly broke through reality and pulled Sakura, preventing her from falling straight down.

If what they expected was correct, Sakura's mother was right beside them right now, maybe smiling at them.

But unfortunately, only people with extremely strong magical powers can see the existence of souls, and none of them present could meet this requirement.

Among Sakura's family members, Touya is the only one who can see the souls of the deceased.

However, according to the setting information, a few years later, when Sakura grows up, she will be able to see the existence of souls, and at that time she will naturally see her deceased mother.

When Xia Yu was thinking about this, Xiaoying suddenly looked at him and said, "Thank you, Xia, thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I might have fallen."

Facing Sakura's grateful smile, Xia Yu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, opened the system mall, and found a bottle of magic potion that could temporarily see souls, but it was a bit expensive.

However, seeing the loneliness hidden under Sakura's optimism, he did not hesitate and directly clicked the exchange. After the exchange, he suddenly felt relieved.

Sakura's gentleness and strength are worthy of his doing this, and Sakura is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed, so it's okay to exchange a bottle of magic potion for her that can temporarily see souls. At most, he can let himself go a little more.

Besides, he can get so much sunshine value now thanks to the bonus of Sakura, the protagonist of this world, so there is no reason to hesitate.

The world treats me kindly, and I repay it with songs.

"Sakura, do you want to meet your mother?"

"Eh?"

Xia Yu's sudden words startled everyone, and Sakura herself looked over with a puzzled look on her face.

"Xia, what do you mean?"

"I have a potion here that will allow you to temporarily see things that are normally invisible, including the souls of the dead."

As he spoke, Xia Yu took out a bottle of silver-white magic potion from his schoolbag, which was still bubbling. He did not redeem the permanent version because he knew that Xiaoying was afraid of ghosts. If Xiaoying could see things that were invisible all the time from now on, she would be frightened from time to time.

After shaking the potion in his hand in front of everyone, Xia Yu said again: "Xiaoying, if you really want to see your mother, drink this potion."

"I……"

Xiaoying didn't know how to react for a moment, but Xiaoke slowly floated in front of Xia Yu and asked curiously, "Where did you get all these strange things? How come I've never heard of a potion that can see invisible things?"

Besides, it had never heard of the magic family with the surname Xia. However, it had heard of the magic family with the surname Li. After all, that was Clow Reed's mother's family.

Before Xiaoke could figure out what was going on, it suddenly felt someone knocking on its head.

Xia Yu tapped Xiao Ke's head gently with the potion and said disdainfully: "You are just a doll. How can you look at me with your pathetic eyes? My magic is something you can never understand even if you use your wisdom throughout your life."

Xiao Ke: (ー`ー)
"You scumbag, you mock me again! Ouch!"

"Hiss...are you a dog? Why are you biting me again? Let go!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Seeing Xiao Ke and Xia Yu suddenly starting to play around, Xiao Ying couldn't help but laugh, and her originally confused thoughts gradually became clearer.

"Xia, thank you very much for your kindness, but..."

"Drink it!"

Before Sakura could finish her refusal, Xia Yu suddenly pulled out the cork of the potion bottle at lightning speed and then pushed the bottle mouth into Sakura's mouth.

He has already changed, would it be unfair to him not to drink it?

Besides, the system doesn’t have a recycling function, so he can’t just drink it himself.

After putting the mouth of the potion bottle into Sakura's mouth, Xia Yu lifted it up and the potion immediately flowed into Sakura's mouth. Sakura subconsciously swallowed it down.

After a few seconds, the potion in the bottle was empty.

"Cough cough cough..."

After drinking all the potion in one breath, Sakura couldn't help but pat her chest and cough a few times. If she hadn't swallowed quickly, she would have choked.

Sakura, who had recovered, was about to complain when she suddenly noticed a translucent figure beside her.

The figure was wearing a light green dress, with milky white angel wings on her back, and her long, slightly curly hair was flying in the air. She was looking at her tenderly.

Compared to the previous phantom that only had a formulaic smile, this time the figure was more lively, and the tenderness in the eyes seemed to penetrate life and death, appearing so real.

"Mother?"

Sakura shouted in disbelief.

For some reason this time, Sakura just felt that the figure in front of her was her mother. It was an unquestionable certainty.

Noticing that Sakura was staring at her and even called her mother, Kinomoto Nadeshiko covered her mouth in surprise: "Can you see me?"

It was this action that made Sakura discover something different. The mother in front of her now had a wedding ring on her left ring finger, which was not on the mother she had seen before.

This wedding ring is exactly the same as the one her father wears on his finger all the time.
