Chapter 85 Buy melon seeds for Li Xiaolang
After successfully sealing the Time Card, Taoist Li, who was not good at speaking, put away the Clow Cards he had obtained and left alone.

Sakura and Tomoyo first carefully observed the clock tower, and only felt relieved after confirming that it had been restored to its original state.

Afterwards, the three of them said goodbye to each other and went home to sleep. They had to go to school the next day, and if they didn’t go back to sleep early, they would definitely fall asleep in class.

Although Xia Yu didn't mind dozing off in class, Sakura and Tomoyo still cared a lot, so they didn't stay too long.

Without the interference of the time cards, time resumed its flow, summer gradually arrived, and their student uniforms were changed into summer short-sleeved shirts and shorts.

"The weather is really nice."

On the way to school, Xia Yu was walking towards the school with his backpack on his back.

After more than half a semester, he has completely gotten used to being a primary school student. In fact, being a primary school student is not bad. He is happy every day and doesn't have to think too much.

No wonder after Kudo Shinichi became an elementary school student, his thinking gradually became like that of an elementary school student. Habits are really terrible things.

Moreover, primary school students only need to listen to classes and do homework every day, and they don’t have to worry about not having the next meal.

"..."

As he thought about it, Xia Yu was speechless. Why would he compare it with having no food to eat next time? He had never been so miserable before!
For some reason, he always felt as if he was turning into a complainer.

Just as Xia Yu was daydreaming and walking quickly towards the school, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange scene out of the corner of his eye.

Inside the Penguin Park, there was a circle of curious people watching the fun, and there seemed to be reporters reporting in the middle of the crowd.

The Penguin Park is located in Tomoeda Central Park. It is called the Penguin Park because it has a huge penguin slide as its landmark building.

This park is also on the way to school. Students pass by this big penguin on their way to and from school every day. The big penguin is also affectionately called the King Penguin by the children nearby.

At this moment, the king penguin who was waving his hand in the park was flipped over by someone and turned into a position with his head on the ground. In front of the penguin slide, a reporter was reporting this incredible thing to the camera.

"Is this... another trick of the Clow Cards?"

Xia Yu stopped and looked for a moment, but couldn't figure out what was going on. He couldn't sense the aura of the Clow Cards. After all, he was just an ordinary person.

It's a pity that there are too many people watching around, otherwise he could use the "Restore to New" method to restore the upside-down king penguin to its original state.

reverse……

Are there reverse cards in the Clow Cards? I don't know which Clow Card is the offender this time.

After standing there and watching for a while, Xia Yu walked towards the school again.

It's inconvenient now because there are so many people around, but we can wait until night to repair it. The upside-down king penguin looks quite dangerous, and it would be bad if someone accidentally got hurt.

Unlike Sakura who used roller skates to go to school, he walked to school on foot, so he usually got up quite early to go to school and never met his classmates on the way.

The school is going on a hike today, and the destination is the zoo, so he is quite looking forward to it.

I have to say that the daily life of elementary school students in this world is really colorful. They go to art galleries, aquariums, and now they can also go to zoos, which highlights the equal treatment of all.

Moreover, these trips all took place in the same semester, which would have been unthinkable when he was in school before.

So Xia Yu still enjoys this kind of primary school life.

After arriving at the school, he waited for a while until all the students were present. Then the teacher organized all the students to get on the bus and head to the zoo.

The teacher who led them was naturally their homeroom teacher, Yoshiyuki Terada. Once they arrived at the zoo, the homeroom teacher gathered them together again and began to inform them of precautions and tasks.

As students, hiking is not just for fun, they also have the task of learning.

We need to write an observation report for this hike. We will form a group of five and observe the animals we are responsible for. The observation report will be submitted next Monday.

"Observation report..."

Xia Yu felt a little headache when he heard his head teacher say this familiar word. When he was in school, what he hated most was writing reports.

He didn't like anything that required writing a report afterwards, whether it was hiking or anything else.

Yet he still had to write because he was a student.

Everything is just to complete the teacher's task.

"Okay, now team leader, come get the camera."

After finishing the task, Yoshiyuki Terada opened the briefcase at hand, which was filled with cameras. These were cameras allocated to the team and were specifically used for observation work.

After the team leader took the camera, Yoshiyuki Terada announced that the group would disband on the spot and regroup at 2pm. If they were hungry, they could find a place to have lunch by themselves.

After disbanding, each group went straight to the animals for which they were responsible.

Xia Yu was in a group with the squinty-eyed liar Takashi Yamazaki, Li Xiaolang and two stranger classmates. The five of them were responsible for the sloth, and Takashi Yamazaki was the team leader.

Even though Takashi Yamazaki always says things to fool others, he is actually the class monitor of their class and is quite responsible for his duties.

The five-member team followed the map and searched for a while, and soon found the sloth area.

The sloth area is a small forest surrounded by barbed wire, with a few motionless sloths hanging inside.

"found it."

Seeing the sign in front of the sloth area, Takashi Yamazaki walked quickly forward and pointed to a sloth hanging on a tree.

"Where is where?"

When two passers-by heard this, they hurried forward, but unfortunately the small forest was too lush and leafy, and they didn't see any sloths.

It was Yamazaki Takashi who narrowed his eyes and pointed in a direction, reminding: "It's over there."

Everyone looked in the direction that Takashi Yamazaki pointed, and sure enough, they saw a lazy sloth.

The sloth hung motionless on the tree, its brown hair clinging to its body. It had an expression that was indifferent to the world, as if it had seen through the mundane world or was just in a daze because it didn't understand its current situation.

Xia Yu walked over and glanced at Yamazaki Takafumi beside him. He couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart. He had squinty eyes, but he didn't expect that his eyesight was so good.

"That's a sloth." Li Xiaolang's eyes lit up as he looked at the sloth hanging on the tree.

Since he was trained as the patriarch of the Li family and spent his childhood exercising, he had never been to the zoo since he was a child, let alone observe the animals in nature.

So when Li Xiaolang saw the sloth for the first time, he was very happy and rarely showed a side of himself that was suitable for a child of his age.

Seeing that his team members had already started observing the sloth, Yamazaki Takashi said, "We are responsible for observing it. Let's all observe it carefully together, okay?"

"it is good!"

Two passers-by classmates cheered excitedly in unison, and then several people piled their backpacks together and put them aside. These backpacks are the designated backpacks for Tomoeda Elementary School, and the style is the same for all of them.

Then some people took photos and some took notes.

But when Xia Yu took out his notebook, he suddenly found that he had no idea where to start. The sloth didn't move at all, so what should he write?

Just as Xia Yu was thinking about whether to use nonsense literature to write an observation report, Li Xiaolang, who was taking pictures nearby, asked with some confusion.

“Are sloths as inactive as their name suggests?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Yamazaki Takashi, who was taking notes, suddenly came over with a smile on his face.

It is obvious that this big liar is going to start fooling people again.

"Actually, it's not, Mr. Li."

Yamazaki Takashi said with a smile, and then looked at the sloth with a serious expression: "In fact, sloths are very agile. Although they usually seem to have no strength hanging on the tree, if they muster up some energy, they can run very fast."

Seeing Yamazaki suddenly start to talk about sloths, Li Xiaolang listened with a serious look on his face.

"It is said that its speed, based on actual measurements, is over 100 kilometers per hour."

Yamazaki Takashi said this in a very serious tone, and from his narrowed eyes it was impossible to tell whether he was lying or not.

Xia Yu, who was listening on the side, curled the corners of his mouth, not knowing how to complain. 100 kilometers per hour, converted to about 27.8 meters per second, is almost catching up with a cheetah. How dare he say that.

The cheetah's body shape is very suitable for running, but a sloth's body shape... can only run one meter per second, which is considered fast.

As far as he knows, the running speed of a sloth is less than 0.2m per second. Compared with sloths, turtles are considered very fast animals.

I don’t know why there are creatures like sloths in nature.

In the nature where the strong prey on the weak, other animals are trying hard to evolve stronger survival skills, but sloths seem to be living in another dimension forever, leading a miserable life hanging on trees and eating leaves.

It is said that the most dangerous thing a sloth can do in its life is to climb down from the tree and poop on the ground.

After listening to Takashi Yamazaki's extremely outrageous science popularization, Li Xiaolang not only did not realize that he had been deceived, but instead looked at the sloth with admiration.

"It's so fast."

Xia Yu: "..."

There are actually people who believe this lie that ordinary people would not be fooled by.

Master Li, are you a child?

Wait, it seems like he really is a child.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu suddenly walked to Li Xiaolang's side, nodded and said, "Mr. Yamazaki is right. Although the name of the sloth is related to laziness, this animal actually has another nickname."

"nickname?"

Seeing that Xia Yu seemed to be about to give a science lecture, Li Xiaolang looked over curiously.

Xia Yu pointed his finger at the sloth hanging on the tree with a serious look on his face and said, "Lightning, only the sloths with speed comparable to lightning in the sloth family can get this nickname."

"The sloth that got this nickname is also called sloth lightning, which is an extremely rare species."

"Oh, so awesome!" Upon hearing that sloths are not only extremely fast, but there is also a special species called sloth lightning, Li Xiaolang's brown eyes sparkled and he raised the camera in his hand with anticipation.

"Okay, we must try to capture the moment when the sloth starts running!"

Looking at Li Xiaolang's expectant and serious expression, Xia Yu suddenly felt a little pain in his conscience. Taoist Li was so simple, yet he actually fooled him?
Decision made. I’ll go buy Li a bag of melon seeds as apology later.

"Xia, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable."

After listening to Xia Yu's equally outrageous science popularization, Yamazaki Takafumi patted Xia Yu on the shoulder, squinted his eyes and smiled. It was obviously just an ordinary smile, but Xia Yu somehow saw some joy in it.

As expected, Yamazaki, you are also a tax evader!
"Of course, I understand it very well, okay?"

Xia Yu patted his chest, smiled proudly, and then gave Yamazaki a thumbs up: "Although I understand, I am not as good as you, Yamazaki. You are the real one!"

"No, no, Xia is also very good."

"Each each other."

Li Xiaolang, an honest boy who was still waiting for the sloth to run, listened to the conversation between the two and thought they were talking about science. Only the two passers-by on the other side twitched their lips, looking a little helpless.

Unexpectedly, besides Yamazaki, Xia is also a big liar, but only Kinomoto and Li were fooled.

Time passed slowly, and several people continued to write their observation reports.

Xia Yu also successfully used nonsense literature to fill a page of his observation report. At first glance, this observation report seems very substantial, and upon closer inspection, it is indeed very substantial. If it were more substantial, it would be even more substantial.

As expected of him!

"It's moving, it's moving!"

Li Xiaolang, who had been holding the camera, suddenly exclaimed and hurriedly pressed the shutter. He saw that the sloth hanging on the tree suddenly moved its front legs.

"At eleven forty-six, there was a movement."

A passerby nearby took note of the observation, while another passerby said in frustration: "We observed it for an hour and it only moved three times. Is this a lot or a little?"

"Ah, it moved again." Li Xiaolang reported excitedly.

"Yes, yes, it moved again at eleven forty-seven."

"It moved twice in less than two minutes."

Yamazaki Takashi looked at the sloth with a smile: "Maybe it will be very motivated today."

"Oh, so today, is it..."

Li Xiaolang was just about to excitedly ask the sloth if it was possible for it to run today when suddenly a huge vibration was heard in the distance, and even they could feel the vibration here.

"earthquake?"

Xia Yu felt the sudden vibration and looked towards the place where the sound came from with some confusion.

Li Xiaolang and Yamazaki Takashi on the side also looked over. Especially Yamazaki Takashi, he actually opened his eyes which was extremely rare. It was unknown whether it was because of surprise or because he was scared.

Since the sloth area is relatively close to the entrance, tourists visiting nearby all hurriedly fled to the entrance.

Japan is a country where earthquakes occur frequently. The moment the ground began to shake, the zoo visitors had already begun to evacuate in an orderly manner amid the chaos.

Although panicked, the tourists did not lose their composure.

Just as the surrounding tourists were running away, Li Xiaolang's eyes narrowed and his brows furrowed slightly, as if he sensed something.

He handed the camera to Xia Yu beside him and said with a double meaning: "I leave it to you."

After saying that, Li Xiaolang hurriedly ran towards the location where the vibration came from.

"Classmate Li!"

Yamazaki Takashi shouted anxiously, but in the blink of an eye, only Li Syaoran's back was left.

Xia Yu took the camera and looked at Li Xiaolang's back but did not follow him. Seeing Li Xiaolang's appearance, he thought that the Clow Cards were causing trouble again.

In order to prevent other ordinary people from being affected, it is indeed more appropriate for him to stay here. After all, his magic is quite concealed. Unlike Li Xiaolang, he needs a sword as a catalyst to use a spell.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu waved to the few people who were still at a loss and said, "Student Li will take care of himself. Let's go to the shelter first."

"But……"

Takashi Yamazaki frowned and wanted to say something, but Xia Yu pulled him straight towards the entrance.

"Don't worry, let's go to the shelter first. Staying here will only cause more worries. We should protect ourselves first."

……

A few minutes later, at the zoo entrance.

"What? Kinomoto and Daidoji stayed inside?"

When the class teacher, Yoshiyuki Terada, heard the reports from Chiharu and others, he couldn't help but frown.

Although the earthquake was not strong, it was still very dangerous to stay in the zoo. According to the staff who came out to evacuate, all the wild animals in the cages had escaped!

In such a dangerous situation, instead of running out to take shelter, they ran into the zoo. That was simply ridiculous!
Before Yoshiyuki Terada could digest this news, Takafumi Yamazaki and others brought another bad news.

Li Xiaolang didn't know what was going on, and he actually ran towards the inside of the zoo, with no intention of coming here to seek refuge.

Upon hearing that apart from Kinomoto and Daidoji, Li Syaoran did not escape for refuge, Terada Yoshiyuki couldn't help but cover his forehead and felt a little headache.

Why are these children, who usually look very well-behaved, suddenly becoming so naughty?

"No, we can't let them stay in the zoo any longer, I have to go in and find them!"

Yoshiyuki Terada took a deep breath and his eyes gradually became firm. As a teacher, it was his responsibility to protect the safety of his students.

Although he didn't know why the three people were unwilling to come out for shelter and instead ran further inside, he had to ensure the safety of all students.

Thinking of this, Terada Yoshiyuki turned around and told all the students who were looking at him worriedly, "Don't run around. Although the tremors of this earthquake are not strong, it is still somewhat dangerous. We will end this hike after all the students are here."

After saying that, Yoshiyuki Terada planned to run into the zoo alone to look for Sakura and the others who had not returned yet.

Xia Yu, who was standing silently in the team, saw that Terada Yoshiyuki was really planning to go back to the zoo to look for someone, so he quietly lowered his head, covered his mouth with his hands, and whispered, "Confuse the audience."

The next second, Terada Yoshiyuki, who was originally anxious, suddenly stopped and his eyes gradually became confused: "What should I do?"

The students gathered around Yoshiyuki Terada also looked confused. They simultaneously forgot what Yoshiyuki Terada had just said, and no one mentioned looking for Sakura and the others.

"Confusion" is a spell that confuses and misleads the target. It can be used on living or inanimate objects. As long as the target has thoughts, this spell can cause varying degrees of confusion, from confusing current vision and hearing to forgetting important information.

After using wandless magic to confuse the people around him, Xia Yu shook his head with a sigh: "Sure enough, this is logical."

In the original cartoon, there was such a big commotion, Sakura and the others went straight in the opposite direction, and the class teacher didn't even go looking for them, and even seemed to have forgotten about them. It was totally illogical.

However, it is possible that the head teacher actually went to look for it, but just didn’t find it.

After all, the protagonist of the cartoon is Sakura, so the main perspective will only be on Sakura's side. The class teacher, as a supporting role, will definitely not be given a special picture.

If there is also a protagonist on the class teacher's side, maybe the main perspective is on the class teacher's side at this moment.

If he was a little bolder, maybe even his little secret movements would have been broadcast. After all, he had joined the protagonist group and became a well-known character.

Xia Yu was thinking about random things while looking at the conditions of the people around him.

Whenever the people around him had a moment of clarity in their eyes, he would cast another "confuse the audience" spell. Without the help of a magic wand, the spell did not last long, so he had to cast another one from time to time.

Ever since he successfully cast "Expelliarmus" without a wand last time, his proficiency in these spells has gradually increased. Now, he can successfully use these spells which are not difficult.

It just doesn’t last long and isn’t very powerful.

Time passed slowly, and just when Xia Yu used three or four "confusing attacks", Li Xiaolang finally returned to the team.

When Li Xiaolang returned, he looked at the large group of people gathered at the entrance with confusion in their eyes and a strange expression on his face.

But he didn't do anything extra, he just walked into the team quietly, as if he had never left.

After waiting for a while, just when the new round of "confusing the audience" was about to end, Sakura and Tomoyo finally arrived holding hands.

When the two of them finally arrived in front of the team, Xia Yu's spell also failed.

Yoshiyuki Terada, who was originally confused, suddenly changed his expression. He finally remembered what he was supposed to do just now and went to find the students who were still in the zoo.

But as soon as he took a step, he saw Sakura and Tomoyo in front of him.

At the same time, another classmate's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Teacher, student Li has also returned to the team."

Hearing this, Yoshiyuki Terada turned his head and looked at Li Xiaolang in the team. After finding that Li Xiaolang had also returned to the team, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face also relaxed.

But soon, Terada Yoshiyuki's relaxed expression changed into a serious one.

"Student Li, please come over here first."

Li Xiaolang, who had originally planned to be an invisible man, could only sigh and leave the team when he saw Terada Yoshiyuki calling his name.

When he went out, he glared at Xia Yu dissatisfiedly, because it was Xia Yu who shouted just now. If the other party didn't shout, the teacher might ignore him.

Facing Li Xiaolang's dissatisfaction, Xia Yu smiled with glee. He had not forgotten Li Xiaolang's smug look when he was playing cards. He was a vengeful person.

When Li Syaoran also stood in front of Terada Yoshiyuki, Terada Yoshiyuki frowned slightly and looked at the three students in front of him with a serious expression.

"I heard from other students that when the earthquake happened, instead of taking shelter in an open area, you ran towards the inside of the zoo? What were you doing?"

The serious words coupled with the real gaze put Sakura and the others under great pressure, and they didn't know how to respond.
