Chapter 444: Blushing Face
“It’s a nice sunny day.”

On the way to Sakura Park, Sakura carried her bag containing her lunch box, felt the warm sunshine, and her mood improved.

Although the weather forecast says it will clear up, the weather is never 100% certain.

The weather is sunny at the moment just as the weather forecast said, which is great.

A breeze blew by, and Sakura couldn't help but hum a song. If the weather was bad today, she might not be able to go to see the cherry blossoms.

But if it was really bad weather, there was actually another possibility, that is, when classmate Xia saw that the weather was bad, he directly used magic to clear up the weather.

The weather magic that subdued the water source card was deeply engraved in her memory.

After walking briskly for a while while humming a song, Sakura's eyes lit up and she waved to the two people waiting at the wooden bridge and ran over.

"Good morning, Chise, Xia-san!"

Hearing Sakura's greeting, Xia Yu, who was talking to Tomoyo, and Tomoyo, who was ignoring Xia Yu, turned their heads at the same time and responded in unison.

"Hello, Sakura."

"Good morning."

After saying hello, the three of them reunited. Seeing Sakura's happy face, Tomoyo smiled and said, "It's great that the weather is nice today."

"Yes."

Sakura smiled and nodded. Looking at Zhishi and Xia Yu who were waiting here in advance, she asked curiously, "Did you come together? Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, I didn't wait too long." Zhishi answered first, then turned his head to look at Xia Yu, snorted and turned his head away without answering the previous question.

"Eh?"

Seeing Tomoyo's look, Sakura tilted her head and looked at Xia Yu with some confusion.

Xia Yu spread her hands and explained helplessly: "We came here together. Zhishi was angry with me because of some small things, so she doesn't want to pay attention to me now."

“Are you angry!?”

Hearing this, Sakura looked at Tomoyo who turned away in shock. How could the gentle Tomoyo be angry? What on earth did Xia do?

"Xia-san, what did you do to make Chiyo angry? You should sincerely apologize at this time, right?"

"Nothing, I just ate what Chise ate..."

"nothing!!"

Before Xia Yu could explain the whole story, Zhishi interrupted him with a red face, then grabbed Xiaoying's hand and strode forward.

"Let's go quickly, Sakura. Chiharu and the others must be waiting anxiously."

Seeing that Tomoyo's face was red with anger and he didn't let Xia Yu explain, Xiaoying couldn't help but said worriedly: "Tomoyo, what happened? If Xia Yu bullied you, don't worry, I will talk to him with you."

After hearing Sakura's heartfelt words, Tomoyo didn't want to answer anymore. How could she even talk about something like that?

Sakura, who was being pulled aside, saw that Tomoyo not only did not answer, but instead walked faster with her head down, and it seemed that even her ears were red from anger. She couldn't help but pull Tomoyo to stop.

Tomoyo, who was suddenly stopped, looked over in confusion, only to see Sakura with a serious face, saying seriously: "Tomoyo, if Xia said something excessive, you must make him apologize. You can't be sulking like this."

Zhi Shi: “?”

When did she get angry? Although she did want to teach Xia Yu a lesson, she just ignored him on the way to Sakura Park. This was not considered as getting angry, right?
Sakura failed to notice the confusion in Tomoyo's eyes. After speaking to Tomoyo seriously, she turned to look at Xia Yu who was following behind her.

"Xia, no matter what inappropriate words you said to Chishi, you must apologize sincerely. I believe Chishi will definitely forgive you."

Xia Yu: "?"

What do you mean by excessive words? Did he say anything excessive? And what he did was not excessive, and Chishie was not angry.

Xia Yu first looked at Sakura's serious expression, then looked at Tomoyo who was a little confused beside him, and became even more confused for a moment. It didn't seem like Tomoyo had said anything to Sakura?
So what happened?
Xia Yu and Zhi Shi looked at each other blankly, then turned their heads and looked at Sakura together. At this moment, they both had a similar thought at the same time.

So what was Sakura thinking? Why did she think Tomoyo was angry?

Seeing Xia Yu and Zhi Shi looking at her, Xiao Ying was also startled. Why were they looking at her? Shouldn't she apologize at this time?
Suddenly, one more confused person appeared.

"Um...did I understand it wrongly?"

After a few seconds, Sakura was the first to come back to her senses. Finally realizing something was wrong, she cautiously asked Tomoyo beside her.

"Although I don't know what you are thinking, Sakura, but you must have misunderstood."

Zhi Shi smiled helplessly and said softly: "I'm not sulking, I'm just a little dissatisfied with Xia Jun's little prank, so I decided to ignore him on the way to Sakura Park."

Seeing Tomoyo start to explain, Xia Yu scratched his head and replied: "Tomoyo is right, so why do you think Tomoyo is angry, Xiaoying?"

"Because, because..."

After hearing their explanation, Sakura's face instantly turned red. It seemed that she had accidentally thought of something wrong, but it was not her fault.

Sakura subconsciously looked at Tomoyo and said bluntly: "Tomoyo, your face and ears were red just now. Isn't it because Xia said something too much that you are so angry?"

"..."

"..."

"Sakura is really slow..."

"Xiaoying, you already have a boyfriend, why are you still so slow..."

Tomoyo and Xia Yu couldn't help but sigh at the same time. After hearing what they said, Sakura was stunned and looked at Tomoyo again and asked.

"So Chise, why are you blushing? And you have to keep your head down and walk quickly."

After hearing this, Tomoyo opened her mouth to explain, but couldn't help blushing and lowering her head. Seeing this, Sakura widened her eyes and said quickly: "Tomoyo, your face is red again!"

"Because blushing does not necessarily mean anger, shyness can also cause blushing." Seeing this, Xia Yu directly spoke up to help Zhishi explain.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiaoying again and said, "Just like you, Xiaoying, when you occasionally make eye contact with Li Syaoran, do you also blush?"

"..."

Hearing this, Sakura said dumbly, "So... Tomoyo blushes because she's shy?"

Upon hearing this, Chise, who was blushing beside him, blushed even more.

Realizing that she had made a big fool of herself, Sakura wailed, squatted on the ground, buried her head in her arms, and said in a muffled voice.

"I'm sorry! Please forgive me!!"

how so! ?

So this is all her misunderstanding? Woohoo…

Looking at Sakura's ostrich-like appearance, the originally shy Tomoyo couldn't help but smile gently, bent down, patted Sakura's back gently and said.

"Okay, okay, Sakura is only doing this for my own good. I know that. Don't be embarrassed."

"You're right."

Xia Yu also stepped forward at this time and praised Xiaoying: "Xiaoying, you looked really handsome when you stood up for Zhiye just now."

"Wuwuwu, stop talking..."

A few minutes later, Sakura, her shame having faded away, stood up again and walked towards the Sakura Park with the other two.

But this time, the person who was blushing and walking quickly with his head down was no longer Tomoyo but her.

"Huh?"

But before she had walked for long, Sakura suddenly stopped and looked at her feet in confusion.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Xiaoying suddenly stopped, Zhisheng, who was walking side by side with Xia Yu behind her, took small steps forward and asked.

"I felt like someone just pulled my foot."

"Someone pulled your foot?"

Xia Yu looked down when he heard that, then looked behind him, but found nothing.

"There's nothing here. Could it be a ghost?"

“Ugh—!!!”

Hearing Xia Yu's guess, Sakura exclaimed, grabbed Tomoyo's arm tremblingly, and looked around in fear.

"Ghost? Can ghosts appear in broad daylight?"

Feeling Sakura's fear, Tomoyo smiled and patted Sakura's hand, saying, "Ghosts don't appear during the day. Xia-kun must have been scaring people just now. Don't worry."

"That……"

"Could it be a new card?"

"Yes!"

After being reminded by Tomoyo, Sakura quickly took out the crystal key she always wore. Under the sunlight, the key reflected a dreamy glow.

"It glows, but the light is very weak."

Looking at the glowing key, Sakura looked at Chiyo and Xia Yu and said, "Since the key is glowing, it means that a card must have appeared nearby, but the light is very weak. I wonder if the card has not yet fully appeared."

"It is also possible that the card is hidden nearby, so it has not been detected." Xia Yu looked at the key that was emitting a faint glow and made a guess.

The key will definitely glow if the card is nearby, but the key's light is so dim at the moment, either the card has not been fully formed yet, or it is hidden very deeply.

"Then what should we do?"

Sakura couldn't help but ask, if the card appeared, it must be sealed, otherwise strange things would happen and cause chaos.

"Well... if the cards stay quiet and don't make trouble, there's no way they'll be discovered. How about Sakura, why don't you try using magic?" Xia Yu suggested after hesitating for a moment.

"it is good!"

Since there is no better way, I can only try to use magic to detect it.

Thinking of this, Sakura held up the crystal key in her hand and said, "Key that hides the power of dreams, show me your true form."

"The seal is lifted!"

After the seal of the magic wand was released, Sakura looked around while holding the magic wand. After making sure that it was quiet and no one was passing by, she took out the transparent card she carried with her.

"Wind, Siege, Water, Action... Which card should I use?"

"correct!"

As if she remembered something, Sakura quickly took out one of the action cards and threw it forward a little.

"Let the nearby trees take action and help me find the source of the abnormality."

"action!"
