Chapter 90 We are still good friends

After a while.

Xia Yu arrived at the classroom smoothly, and as expected, he was the first one to arrive.

Since starting school again, he has gradually developed the habit of being the first one to arrive in the classroom.

After waiting in the classroom for a while, other students came into the classroom one after another.

"Good morning, Xia."

Chise entered the classroom, greeted Xia Yu, and sat back in her seat in a good mood.

Then Zhishi took out a piece of draft paper from her schoolbag, turned around and placed it on Xia Yu's desk.

"Xia, this is the new Sakura uniform I designed. What do you think?"

"New uniform?"

Xia Yu took the draft paper and took a look at it. The battle uniform on the draft paper was relatively simple, but the design elements could be vaguely seen. It was a pink puffy skirt.

Although there are only a few strokes, you can still feel the fluffy and softness of the skirt.

As expected of the omnipotent Chishi, all talents are maxed out.

"Tomoyo, you really like pink."

Xia Yu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the draft. Hearing this, Zhi Shi covered his mouth and chuckled, "That's because pink is cute, just like Sakura."

Just as Tomoyo was saying this, Sakura suddenly pushed open the classroom door and walked in. However, judging from Sakura's sad expression, she was still in a bad mood today.

After arriving at her seat, Sakura hung her schoolbag on the edge of the table with a bit of loss, then lay weakly on the table.

Seeing Sakura like this, Tomoyo and Xia Yu also stopped their discussion.

Tomoyo couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoying, what's wrong with you? Did something happen again?"

Hearing Tomoyo's question, Sakura nodded: "Kero seems to have run away from home. I didn't find it when I went back yesterday. I opened the window at night, but it didn't come back this morning."

"Are you sure it ran away from home?" Xia Yu also asked.

Sakura heard this and shook her head, "I'm not sure, but he definitely didn't come back all night. Maybe he was very angry after I scolded him."

"Don't worry, Sakura. Kokoro probably regrets arguing with you, too."

Zhishi smiled faintly and consoled him: "It must be feeling the same as you right now."

"really?"

Sakura looked a little sad. She was just angry at the time, so she quarreled with Xiaoke, but when she calmed down, she felt a little regretful.

I don't know where Xiaoke is now. Where did she sleep last night if she didn't go home? Did she have a good meal?

"Sakura, if you're really worried about Xiao Ke, let's go look for him together after school."

Seeing that Xiaoying still had a worried look on her face, Xia Yu suggested: "Don't worry about not being able to find it. I can use the magic of finding objects to help."

"I'll go and help too." Tomoyo said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Hearing that her good friends were willing to help her, Sakura nodded heavily: "Thank you!"

……

Afternoon, commercial street.

Sakura, Tomoyo and Xia Yu have now changed into their regular clothes and are following the streets in search of Xiaoke.

Because school was over early, they first went home to change into regular clothes from their school uniforms before going out together to look for the lost Xiaoke.

But after searching for nearly half an hour, they still couldn't find any trace of Xiaoke, and even turned over the trash can.

Unable to find the item, Sakura had to give up her own search and turn to Xia Yu's magic to find the item.

"So why didn't you let me use magic to find it from the beginning?"

Xia Yu took out his wand and couldn't help but look at Xiaoying who was smiling awkwardly at the side.

In response to Xia Yu's question, Xiaoying blushed a little and replied embarrassedly: "Because I want to find it by my own strength first. If I rely on magic for everything, it won't work."

"Um……"

Why not? I even do my homework by magic.

Although he thought so in his heart, Xia Yu did not say it out loud. Using magic to do homework is not something to brag about, and Xiaoying's idea is not wrong.

He is not some straight man with no emotional intelligence like Li Syaoran, so he naturally would not refute Sakura just because of a sentence.

"Okay, then I'll get started."

Although there were many people around, most of them were in a hurry to get on their way and did not pay attention to the three elementary school students.

After taking out his magic wand, Xia Yu casually said "show me the way" while thinking of Xiaoke's image in his mind. The tip of the magic wand then turned and pointed to a direction.

"Let's go, Xiao Ke is at this position."

"it is good!"

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Xiaoke was at a strange little girl's house, wondering in distress how to get back.

After quarreling with Sakura, it was so angry that it ate a whole box of chocolates with liqueur without permission and got drunk.

After getting drunk, he slept in a garbage dump outside for another night. Then, in a daze, he was picked up by a strange little girl.

The little girl was alone at home because she lost her father and her mother had to work.

After learning about the little girl's situation, Xiao Ke wanted to leave, but he was worried about leaving the little girl alone at home. Now he could only think secretly about how to solve the problem perfectly.

"This is not a solution..."

Xiaoke was very conflicted. After sobering up, he stayed with the little girl for another whole day. He gradually realized his mistake.

It was so impulsive because it was angry at the time, and now that it has calmed down, it regrets it.

Whether it was throwing all of Sakura's things out of the drawer without permission, or saying that Sakura was a monster, both were bad behaviors, and it was indeed wrong.

Now that I think about it, it was reasonable for Sakura to be angry.

"Ah... I'm so distressed!"

As he thought about it, Xiaoke rubbed his big head in annoyance.

It sat on the ground, watching the little girl hanging out laundry, not knowing how to end its relationship with the little girl.

Although it had only stayed here for about a day, it had a general understanding of the little girl's situation.

The little girl lost her father when she was young and was raised by her mother alone. However, her mother was busy with work and could not often be with her, so she was very strong since she was young and got used to being alone at home.

Although it was only for one day, if it left without saying goodbye, it would definitely make the little girl sad.

"Forget it, let's go send a fax to Sakura first. Sakura should have gone home from school by this time."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Ke still couldn't think of any good solution. He could only temporarily suppress the idea of ​​leaving and decided to send a fax to Xiaoying to let her know that she was safe.

At least Xiaoying should know its current situation. If she had known, she would not have run away from home. Now she doesn't know how to go back.

dong dong!

Just as Xiaoke was about to go to the phone to send a fax, there was a knock on the door.

"coming."

The moment he heard the knock on the door, Xiaoke subconsciously pretended to be a doll. The little girl also answered and ran to the door with small steps.

"Hey~"

The door handle was a little high for the little girl, so she had to stand on tiptoe, grasp the door handle and use a little force to open the door.

At the same time, outside the door.

Xia Yu knocked on the door while putting away the wand in his hand, and then said to Xiaoying beside him: "If nothing unexpected happens, Xiaoke should be in here."

"Um... why did Xiao Ke go to someone else's house?"

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Xiaoying frowned slightly and said with some concern: "Will Xiaoke expose himself and be caught by others?"

"I'm not sure, but even if we're caught, it won't be a big problem. After all, we're not..."

Before Xia Yu could finish his words, the sound of a door opening suddenly rang out. He closed his mouth and looked behind the door.

After the door opened, the little girl came into the sight of Xia Yu and others.

When Xia Yu and others saw that the person who opened the door was a little girl about five or six years old, instead of the adult they had imagined, they looked at each other in surprise.

It was Tomoyo who reacted first. He smiled gently and asked, "Hello, little friend. Is your adult home?"

Faced with Zhishi's question, the little girl was confused, but she still shook her head honestly: "My mother went to work, and I am the only one at home."

"Little boy, did you pick up a yellow doll? It looks like a yellow kitten, but it has big round ears."

"Well……"

When the little girl heard Chiyo's question, she immediately thought of the little pet she had just picked up, a kitten she named "Bu Bu".

No, no, it is exactly the same as the little doll described by the sister in front of me, but no, no, it is not a doll.

Seeing that the little girl was thinking about it and did not answer immediately, Zhishi thought of another possibility and asked in a different way.

"By the way, although I just said a doll, it is actually a living thing and can move."

After hearing this, the little girl finally realized that it seemed that the brothers and sisters in front of her were unable to find her.

So, is she going to part with Bu Bu?
Although she was reluctant, she couldn't hide it since the original owner had come to find her, because she had noticed that the short-haired sister among the three people in front of her had an anxious and worried expression on her face.

"I……"

"Wow!!!"

But before the little girl could say anything, a scream suddenly came from inside the house.

"no no!"

"Xiao Ke!!"

The little girl and Sakura exclaimed at the same time, then hurried into the house and ran towards the location where the sound came from.

When they arrived at the location where the sound came from, they saw that all the objects around them, including Xiaoke, were floating in the air, as if there was an invisible buoyancy holding them up.

"What is this!!" Sakura, who ran in first, saw this scene and felt the faint aura of the Clow Cards around her. She immediately realized that it was the Clow Cards causing trouble again.

Just when she was about to unseal the wand, she suddenly realized there was a stranger around her, that was the little girl who also ran in.

Should I unseal the wand in front of the little girl?

Just as Sakura was hesitating, the little girl suddenly floated up, and even she herself felt the buoyancy.

"magical!"

At this moment, Xia Yu, who was one step behind, also rushed over in time and threw out a Clow Card with intricate patterns.

In an instant, the magic card pulled the floating little girl into the illusion, and Xia Yu's voice sounded at the same time.

"Don't worry about being exposed, Sakura. The child has already fallen into an illusion. You can let go and solve this strange phenomenon!"

"it is good!"

Sakura nodded in response, reaching out and pulling out her key necklace, then holding it in her palm.

"The key that hides the power of darkness, show me your true power. Sakura, who made a promise with you, orders you to--"

"Unseal!"

In an instant, the sun and moon magic circle lit up, and the small bird-head key instantly stretched and grew larger, turning into a pink magic wand.

"Sakura, it's a floating card. It's outside."

At this time, Xiao Ke hurriedly flew to Xiao Ying and pointed out the window.

Outside the window, a translucent object appeared.

If you look closely, you can see that it seems to be a brightly colored balloon with wings on both sides. It is floating in the air and emitting magical power.

"fly!"

Seeing this, Sakura did not hesitate. She threw out the flying card and flew out of the window with her magic wand.

"I can still encounter the Clow Cards when I go out. I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck."

Xia Yu reached out and picked up the floating little girl, then put her on the ground. Because the magic card covered the place, the little girl was still in the illusion.

"What a pity! I didn't bring a camera with me, so I can't take a picture of Sakura sealing the Clow Cards this time."

Chiyo, who also walked into the room, crossed her arms with one hand and stroked her face with the other, her tone full of regret.

"Hey, here's your camera. I'll take care of the kid here, and you can go take pictures of Sakura."

But just as Zhishi finished expressing his regret, Xia Yu suddenly took out a camera from somewhere and handed it to Zhishi.

Seeing Xia Yu suddenly take out a camera, Zhishi's eyes sparkled and he said excitedly, "With you by my side, I don't have to worry about anything. Thank you so much, Xia."

After saying that, Tomoyo reached out and took Xia Yu's camera, then quickly walked to the window and started filming Sakura flying in the air.

The ability of the floating card is not strong. Just as its name suggests, the floating card only has the ability to float. Compared with the flying card, it only has the advantage of being silent.

Moreover, whenever the floating card uses its ability, it will half reveal its true form, so Sakura, who flew high into the sky, quickly discovered the trace of the floating card.

The discovered floating card can't even speed up to escape. After all, it is just floating and its flying speed is not as fast as that of the flying card.

"Return to your original form - Clow Card!"

Sakura came to the floating card, raised the magic wand in her hand, and then smashed it down hard.

Ding--!
Along with a clear and crisp sound, an illusory light blue card appeared, and then the translucent balloon that could not escape turned into streams of light in an instant and then drilled into the card.

After a few seconds, the illusory card gradually solidified and turned into a physical card.

After taking the floating card, Sakura hurriedly flew back to the balcony and walked into the house again.

"Xia, is the child okay?"

The moment she entered the room, Xiaoying asked Xia Yu hurriedly.

Xia Yu shook his head slightly, reached out his hand, and took back the illusion card he had just used. The little girl who had been in an illusion gradually woke up.

"Woo..."

Seeing that the little girl seemed to be waking up, Sakura hurriedly returned the wand to its original state, and Xiao Ke also hurriedly dropped it to the ground.

Seeing this, Xia Yu reached out and rubbed the little girl's head: "Just now you seemed to have fainted because you were too tired, but you are fine now."

"Ugh... did I faint?"

The little girl blinked her hazy eyes, and after Xia Yu's explanation, her vision gradually became clear.

"Oh, right? No?"

The moment after waking up, the little girl looked around nervously, because she vaguely remembered that she seemed to hear a scream before she passed out.

"no no?"

Sakura was a little confused. Who was it?
At this moment, Xiaoke suddenly ran to the little girl and kept shouting "No, no".

"No no, turns out you're okay!"

Seeing that Xiaoke was not hurt, the little girl's face lit up with joy and she hugged Xiaoke in her arms.

After a minute, the little girl reluctantly let go of Xiaoke, then held Xiaoke in both hands and handed him to Xiaoying.

"No, no, this is your original master, right? Your master is here to find you, so you can go home."

Although she was reluctant, the little girl still forced herself to smile.

Xiao Ke was a little silent towards the sensible and gentle little girl. He didn't want to make the little girl sad, but he still had to go back to Xiao Ying after all.

“No no~”

After a few seconds, Xiao Ke did not fly to Sakura immediately, but rubbed the little girl's hand with his face.

Feeling that Xiao Ke seemed to be comforting her, the little girl, although sad in her heart, still smiled and said: "I will miss you, no no."

Looking at Xiaoke and the little girl interacting right in front of her, Sakura pursed her lips a little unhappily.

Why does she look like a bad person?

"By the way, little one, do you want to meet your dad? I can let you meet your dad in heaven."

Suddenly, Xia Yu's voice rang out. Upon hearing this, several people looked over in surprise. Although they were all surprised, their surprises were different.

The little girl was surprised and a little happy, Xiaoke was surprised why Xia Yu knew about this, and Sakura and Tomoyo were just purely curious.

"Big brother, can you really let me see my dad?"

"Of course you can. After all, I have seen that your father is watching over you in heaven."

As he spoke, Xia Yu suddenly raised the magic card again, and then waved it lightly, and the little girl fell into the illusion again.

"Although it's just an illusion, it can at least bring some comfort to this child."

After making the little girl fall into the illusion of seeing her father, Xia Yu smiled slightly and explained casually.

"How do you know Xiao Qian lost her father?"

Seeing that the little girl seemed to no longer hear what they were saying, Xiao Ke stopped pretending and flew to Xia Yu and asked.

"How else can I know? Of course, it was told to me by the Phantom Card. As the guardian beast of the Clow Card, don't you know that the Phantom Card has the ability to peek into people's minds?"

"Forehead……"

Xiao Ke was stunned by this. Although there was no evidence, it felt as if it was being ridiculed.

After listening to Xia Yu's explanation, Xiaoying asked reluctantly: "Xia, is it only possible to use illusions? Can't we let this child really see his father?"

Hearing this, Xia Yu shook his head gently: "You can't see your lost relatives just because you want to. Xiaoying, you can see your mother because your mother happens to be right next to you."

"But this little girl's father is not here. Even if she drinks the potion that can see souls, she may not be able to see her father."

After hearing this explanation, Xiaoying felt a little reluctant, but she didn't say anything else.

She was not an ignorant and willful little girl. On the day she met her mother, her mother also told her that the soul cannot always stay with its relatives.

Since classmate Xia said so, she would not force him.

The illusion cannot be measured by real time, so before a minute was up, the little girl woke up with tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips.

"I will definitely listen to my mother and live a good life. Goodbye, Dad!"

With this farewell, the little girl completely sobered up. Then she looked at Xia Yu and thanked him, "Thank you, big brother. I really saw my father. I will definitely be a good child like my father said."

After finishing speaking, the little girl looked at Xiaoying again: "Big sister, can you tell me Bu Bu's real name?"

"Bu Bu's original name?"

Sakura was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Its name is Kerberos, but you can call it Kero."

"Xiao Ke?"

Hearing this, the little girl picked up Xiao Ke, smiled and said, "Although the time was short, I am still very grateful for your company. I will miss you, Xiao Ke."

Hearing this, Xiaoke rubbed the little girl's hand again, expressing his emotions with his actions.

A few minutes later, at the door.

"Goodbye, big brothers and big sisters, and Xiao Ke, I will miss you."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to the little girl, Sakura and the others left the little girl's house. On the way out, Xiao Ke seemed a little depressed.

"I'm afraid we won't see each other again, and I don't know if the child can take care of himself."

"What? Even a dignified Sealed Beast has become sentimental? The child has grown up so much, and he looks very sensible. He can definitely take care of himself." Xia Yu said directly when he noticed that Xiaoke was a little depressed.

Xiaoying beside her also nodded: "Xia classmate is right, although the child is still young, he is sensible and can definitely take care of himself, Xiaoke, you don't have to worry."

"Well……"

After hearing these consolations, Xiao Ke wanted to say something, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with what he said. After all, it only accompanied the little girl for one day.

Before it, didn't the little girl still manage to live independently?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ke sighed, turned to Xiao Ying and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Ying, I shouldn't have messed up your things and ran away from home without permission. I know I was wrong."

In response to Xiao Ke's apology, Xiao Ying also smiled sweetly: "It's okay, I was also wrong, Xiao Ke, can you forgive me?"

"Hey, so Sakura, you've already forgiven me? If that's the case, then I'll forgive you too."

"Yeah, then we're still good friends!"
