Chapter 44 I Will Repay You With a Song
"Mom, is this really mom this time?"

Sakura couldn't help but stand up, and Kinomoto Nadeshiko also recovered from her surprise and smiled gently: "I was a little worried this time, so I came back to check. Fortunately, Sakura, you are fine."

Hearing these words filled with sincere emotion, Sakura's eyes welled up with tears. She couldn't help but take two steps forward and stretched out her hand.

"mom!"

Seeing this scene, Kinomoto Nadeshiko also walked forward with a smile and hugged Sakura in her arms.

Although they couldn't touch each other, both Sakura and Kinomoto Nadeshiko felt each other's warmth at this moment.

"Well, let's not disturb the mother-daughter reunion."

After Xia Yu put away the empty glass bottle left after drinking the potion, he grabbed Xiaoke with one hand and Zhishi with the other and walked away.

He didn't see Sakura's mother, but judging by Sakura's reaction, Kinomoto Nadeshiko must be here.

"The mother and daughter must have endless thoughts about each other, so let's leave this space for them alone."

After hearing Xia Yu's explanation, Zhi Shi turned around and looked at Xiao Ying who was left alone, and couldn't help asking, "Xia Yu, did Xiao Ying really see her mother?"

"What? You don't believe it?"

"Do not……"

Tomoyo shook her head, looked at Xia Yu again, narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Xia, I'm just... just happy for Sakura. After all, Sakura lost her mother when she was young, and now Sakura can finally realize her dream."

"Hey, don't you see who is helping her?"

"Yes, yes, Xia is the best~"

……

At midnight.

The moonlight once again descended on Tomoeda Town. The forest was lush and leafy, and the light of the stars and the moon turned into tiny streaks of light under the cover of the leaves. Only the city in the distance was still dazzling.

Xia Yu, Chiyo and Xiao Ke gathered together and were watching the video recorded by the camera, which was the heroic scene of Sakura sealing the Clow Cards.

After seeing the latest jumping card from the first flying card, Sakura walked over with red eyes and faint traces of tears at the corners of her eyes.

After coming over, Xiaoying strode to Xia Yu, then bowed deeply and said: "Xia, thank you for letting me see my mother. My mother has returned to her beautiful heaven, and she also asked me to say thank you to you."

"You're welcome, I just wanted to do that."

Xia Yu reached out his hand to help Xiaoying up, and said with a smile: "If you really want to thank me, then quickly seal up the deceptive phantom card, but the phantom card must belong to me."

"it is good!"

Sakura clenched the pink magic wand in her hand and said with determination: "We must seal this Clow Card and never let it continue to cause trouble!"

If it weren't for classmate Xia, she would have been confused and fallen off the cliff.

If she was like this, what about the other ordinary students who came here out of curiosity? For the safety of others, this Clow Card must be sealed.

After making up my mind, all that’s left is for the phantom card to appear.

At this moment, the phantom card that had disappeared without a trace suddenly reappeared as if it had heard their conversation.

A faint blue fluorescence floated in the air, just like when the magic card first appeared.

The next second, the blue light surged, and then a beautiful figure walked out of it. Looking at this woman who seemed to have walked out of a photo, even though she knew it was an illusion of the Clow Cards, Sakura was still a little stunned. But soon, Sakura shook her head vigorously and woke up. No matter how similar the illusion was, it was fake.

What's more, she had just seen her real mother, and this phantom had neither a wedding ring nor angel wings, so she couldn't be fooled anymore.

Sakura forced herself to suppress the complicated emotions in her heart and her eyes became firm.

This is not her mother at all! An illusion is an illusion, and it can never be as real as the real thing!

When Sakura cleared away the confusion in her heart and looked at the phantom again, the phantom, which was originally as beautiful as the photo, suddenly began to flicker.

The deceiving reality also began to become illusory, like an old TV with problems. The clear picture began to flicker, and snow-like kaleidoscope colors appeared from time to time.

This scene has already proved the falsity of the illusion. Looking at the Clow Card that was about to reveal its true form, Sakura waved the magic wand in her hand, strode towards the illusion, and then smashed it down hard with the wand.

This stick inevitably carries the anger of being deceived in the heart.

"Return to your original form, Clow Card!"

"Ding--!"

The sound is crisp and clear, and the lingering sound echoes.

As ripples emerged, the tip of the bird-headed magic wand slammed heavily into the body of the phantom card. The next moment, a huge amount of magic power surged out from the magic wand.

The flickering phantom became even more illusory, and finally shattered into a piece of brilliant human-shaped light. Then the human-shaped light was completely sucked into the illusory card, and a paper card also condensed from the tip of the bird's head.

The card that appeared slowly floated into Sakura's hand. Seeing this, Sakura immediately raised her hands and cheered, "Great! Sakura, you have successfully captured another Clow Card. You are worthy of being the Clow Card user that I chose!"

The top of the illusion card has the artistic Chinese character "幻" written on it, the English word "THE ILLUSION" is written on the bottom, and the image in the middle is a gorgeous pattern like a kaleidoscope.

Sakura looked at the colorfully patterned phantom card in her hand. After confirming that the phantom card had been sealed, she walked up to Xia Yu and handed it to him.

"Here, Xia, if you hadn't let me see my real mother, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to seal the phantom card at all."

"Hehe~ You're underestimating yourself again, Sakura."

After Xia Yu took the phantom card, he patted Xiaoying's head and said helplessly: "You are the one and only Clow Magician. Even without me, you can successfully seal the Clow Cards. After all, you are the girl of destiny and the protagonist of the world."

"Well……"

Xiao Ke, who was standing by, watched Xia Yu put away the magic card. He couldn't help but frowned and floated in front of Xia Yu, snorting: "This time, since you let Xiaoying see her mother, I will give you the magic card. Next time, I won't be so easy to talk to, hum!"

"Yes, yes. Thank you, handsome Lord Kelberos, for being magnanimous and willing to give this card to me. I will never forget your generosity."

Being complimented like this, Xiao Ke immediately became elated, and couldn't help but hold his head high and said proudly: "I didn't expect that you could speak so nicely. Since you call me adult, I won't bite you if you make me angry again in the future. Who says I am a generous adult?"

You are not a human being...

Xia Yu complained in his heart, but still complimented him: "Then I would like to thank you in advance, Lord Kelberos."

"Yohohohoho~"

After taming the rebellious Clow Cards, the few of them no longer had any reason to stay in the back mountain. Moreover, although Sakura knew that the ghosts were actually the Clow Cards causing trouble, the atmosphere of the forest at night still made her feel a little scared.

Some fears cannot be overcome overnight.

Under Sakura's constant urging, the few of them had to quickly leave the back mountain and leave this place that left a deep impression on Sakura.
