Chapter 69: Never underestimate archaeologists
Playground, competition venue.

At this time, a large number of parents had gathered at the starting point of the runway, including Yuanmei and Fujitaka.

Yuanmei had already taken off the bright red suit she had just worn, leaving only the tight sleeveless leotard underneath, while Fujitaka had also taken off his suit jacket, leaving only a shirt.

Looking at the man beside her, Yuan Mei's eyes were filled with fighting spirit: "I will never lose to you."

Hearing this, Fujitaka on the side could only smile helplessly.

"On your marks, get set!"

Bang-!
As the starting gun sounded, the parents on the track immediately took their steps and started running. Yuan Mei, who had been well prepared, instantly surpassed the others around her and ran alone at the front of the track.

"So fast!"

Sakura, who was watching the game, was a little surprised. Tomoyo, who was standing next to her, smiled and replied, "I heard from my mother that she participated in the national sports meet when she was in high school."

"So...so awesome!"

But Yuan Mei didn't lead for long. Suddenly, there was a whooshing sound beside her, and then a tall figure surpassed her with an overwhelming advantage.

Yuan Mei couldn't help but widen her eyes and stare at the figure in front of her whom she hated so much.

"Oh huh?!"

Sakura looked at her father who surpassed Tomoyo's mother in an instant, and she couldn't help but clench her fists and look shocked.

Is her father also such a good runner? This is the first time she knows this.

Chiyo also clasped his hands and exclaimed: "Uncle is really amazing."

"That's natural."

Xia Yu, who was watching the game nearby, suddenly interrupted and said as if it was a matter of course: "As we all know, archaeologists are the strongest profession. Never underestimate the physical strength of an archaeologist."

After all, an archaeologist in another animation was once exclaimed by the villain, "He is simply superman."

"Huh? Really?"

Sakura was a little surprised. Was being an archaeologist such an impressive profession? She thought only her father was so impressive.

Xia Yu nodded without answering. After a few seconds, he suddenly looked up at the sky in confusion.

There seemed to be too many petals floating in the sky. Did someone deliberately scatter them for the atmosphere? He didn't see anyone scattering flowers?
Moreover, he couldn't even tell what family these petals belonged to, as if these petals did not grow naturally in this world.

"strangeness……"

Xia Yu casually caught a petal and held it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.

The petals are pink and tender, as if they have just bloomed. If you smell them carefully, they are quite fragrant.

I don't know what it would taste like if it were made into scented tea...

"Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Sakura, who was standing by, saw Xia Yu staring at the petals in his palm, and was a little curious. Was there something wrong with these petals?

She had been feeling a little strange since the beginning. There seemed to be more and more petals floating down from the sky, and now it was almost like a rain of petals.

"I'm thinking……"

Xia Yu also came back to his senses at this time. He threw away the petals in his hand and replied: "This rain of petals has been falling for so long, and it hasn't stopped yet? This is a bit too strange."

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Xiaoying also reached out to catch a falling pink petal and guessed, "Could it be... the Clow Card?"

"what?"

Xia Yu turned his head with a slight exclamation, as if he didn't expect Xiaoying to make a judgment so quickly. It seems that Xiaoying has really grown.

Although what Xiaoying just said was just a guess, it was probably pretty close to the truth.

After all, within the scope of Tomoeda Town, if there is any abnormal situation, it must be the Clow Cards causing trouble.

In the time it took to say these few words, more and more petals fell. In just a moment, a thick layer of pink petals accumulated on the ground, and a strong floral fragrance wafted from the surrounding area. Beauty is beauty, but there is always a tendency to overdo it.

Under the crazy rain of petals, the surrounding students felt that even their vision was blocked, and the parents who were jogging had their running rhythm stopped by the petals.

In just a minute or two, the petals almost reached the students' waists, and the entire playground turned into a sea of ​​flowers.

Even Blizzard couldn't accumulate so quickly, but Petal did it easily.

At this moment, the parents who were competing had to stop because some of them were already submerged by the petals.

Fortunately, these are petals and not something else, and the gaps between each petal are large enough to avoid the risk of suffocation.

However, at the front of the track, there were still two figures running, even though the petals had reached their thighs.

Looking at the two figures in front of her, Sakura frowned slightly and smiled helplessly: "They are still running."

"My mother never admits defeat." Tomoyo covered her mouth and smiled.

On the track, the only parents still competing were Yuanmei and Fujitaka.

The layers of petals had reached their waists, and every step they took was a strong obstacle.

Seeing that the speed was getting slower and slower, Yuan Mei decided to go all out and simply flapped her hands forward, as if she was swimming in the sea of ​​flowers.

Xia Yu: (ー`ー)
As for...

A 100-meter race turned into a floral swimming event halfway through. Is that wrong?

Also, is a hundred meters really that far? Why did it feel like they had been running for a long time? The petals were almost up to their chests, and they hadn't even reached the finish line yet.

There were so many complaints that he didn't know where to start.

Seeing more and more petals falling around her, almost submerging the playground, Sakura hurriedly took out the key necklace from her chest.

Seeing Sakura's actions, Tomoyo asked worriedly, "Are you going to use magic here?"

"No one should be watching," Sakura made a confident declaration, immediately preparing to unseal the wand on the spot.

Xia Yu: "..."

Do you think everyone else is stupid? It's not a big deal at night, after all, there's really no one in Tomoeda Town at night, but this is still in broad daylight!
There are so many students and parents on the playground. Even if the petals block their view, it would be too obvious if magic was really used!
Snapped!
Xia Yu slapped himself on the face, suppressing his desire to complain. He couldn't complain, because if he did, he would lose.

Seeing that Xiaoying was really stubborn and was ready to unseal the wand on the spot, Xia Yu grabbed Xiaoying's hand, took a deep breath and sighed softly.

Tired.

"Wait, let me cast a Disillusionment Charm on you first."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Sakura suddenly realized: "Xia classmate, you have invisibility magic, so you don't have to worry about being seen."

Xia Yu's threshold for complaining had just been raised, so this sentence no longer aroused his desire to complain.

He casually pulled out his wand from behind his back.

However, Xia Yu did not complain, but Xiaoying rarely complained: "Where did you get it from?"

"you guess?"

Without giving Sakura a chance to answer, Xia Yu twirled his wand and cast an Disillusionment Spell on the three of them, then used a "Confusing Spell" to prevent anyone from noticing their disappearance.

After Xia Yu made an OK gesture, Xiaoying unsealed the magic wand and took out the flying card.

"fly!"

A glowing magic circle of the sun and moon appeared beneath her feet, and a pair of wings immediately sprouted from both ends of her wand.

After using the flying card, Sakura did not hesitate and directly used her magic wand to carry Tomoyo into the sky with petals fluttering in the sky.
