People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 114 Could it be that he and Sakura have become Tomoyo-chan's monogamous couple?
“Use your left hand to put these three stacks of cards back into one pile,” Xiao Ke said.

"Should we put them back together in the order they were sorted?" Sakura asked.

Xiao Ke shook her head: "No need, you can fold it however you like, just follow your intuition, don't worry about anything."

Sakura hesitated for a moment, stared at the three stacks of cards for a few seconds, and then, according to her intuition, picked up the leftmost stack first, then placed the middle one on top, and finally placed the right one on top, making a new stack.

Ye Hui looked at this series of complicated procedures and tilted his head slightly.

It looks quite ceremonial.

But ultimately...

These steps are probably more about helping the diviner concentrate, eliminate distractions, and thus better connect with the Clow Cards.

"Next, draw the cards that you feel a connection with one by one from this stack, and arrange them in the order I taught you."

Little Ke waved her little paws and pointed, "First draw one and put it on top, then draw one and put it next to you, then draw one and put it on the bottom left, then put another one next to you..."

Sakura nodded and followed Kero's instructions step by step, quickly arranging a specific formation on the table.

"Now close your eyes and concentrate."

Xiao Ke lowered her voice and began chanting the incantation in an aria-like tone.

"'Clow Cards, answer my call, respond to my call, reveal your true form, show your countenance!'"

Tomoyo immediately zoomed in with the camera, giving Keroberos a clear close-up, capturing even the serious little expression on its face.

It must be said that the incantation was quite well-rehearsed and sounded quite convincing.

"Alright, Sakura, you can open your eyes now and start interpreting the cards," Kero announced.

"Hmm!" Sakura took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, clearly indicating some nervousness, and her fingers unconsciously curled up, preventing her from opening her eyes.

"What's wrong, Sakura? Can't you feel anything?" Tomoyo noticed her hesitation and asked softly.

"I'm a little nervous..." Sakura bit her lip, her fingers curling slightly. "What if... what if the divination results are bad, and we can't find the imposter?"

Before the analysis even officially began, Sakura had already scared herself.

"Don't be afraid, Sakura," Ye Hui comforted her softly. "Divination only provides us with a direction to search for, it's not some final judgment that can't be changed."

"Besides, no matter what the outcome, Tomoyo and I will be there to help you figure things out. We won't let you face it alone."

Tomoyo gently chimed in, "Ye-kun is right. We're all here with you. Don't be afraid."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +6】

Sakura took a deep breath, as if drawing courage from the two of them, and a determined expression returned to her face: "Okay! I understand, let's begin!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +10]

She composed herself and recited the incantation that Kero had taught her, word by word: "Clow Reed, the cards created by you, answer my question and reveal the true nature of what appears before me!"

As the incantation was finished, Ye Hui clearly felt a subtle fluctuation in the magic power in the room.

The Clow Cards that were drawn from the table simultaneously emitted a soft yet dazzling light, illuminating the entire room.

In retrospect, this Clow Card divination was not merely a formality, but a ritual that could truly invoke magic.

"Alright, turn over the top card." Xiao Ke flew to the table, her voice carrying a hint of solemnity.

"Hmm!" Sakura stretched out her finger and carefully turned over the top card.

On the card, a goddess draped in a huge, wing-like coat stands quietly, gently blowing her breath; this is the Wind card.

“It’s the Wind card…” Sakura exclaimed softly, her eyes filled with tension.

"Just as I thought!" Xiao Ke landed beside the cards and nodded.

"Kero, what does this wind card mean?" Sakura immediately asked, her palms sweating.

Xiao Ke looked up at her with a serious expression: "Wind symbolizes the transmission and spread of messages."

"The fact that this card is here means... the other Clow Cards already know about you, including this card causing trouble in your image, and your search for it."

"Huh?!" Sakura exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening as she instinctively pointed at herself. "Could it be... that the Clow Cards I'm going to capture in the future know everything about me?"

"Hmm...that's about right."

Xiao Ke nodded seriously, "Apart from those cards that haven't awakened yet and don't have their own consciousness, most of the Clow Cards that have already activated should know that there is a Cardcaptor Sakura like you searching for them."

This news instantly put Sakura under some pressure.

In the past, she was only forced to subdue the Clow Cards after they had caused trouble.

It's equivalent to "the enemy is in the open, while we are in the dark."

But this still gives us some control.

But now the situation has reversed.

The fact that I've become the target of attention for the other Clow Cards makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

Looking at her tense face, Ye Hui couldn't help but smile and joked, "This isn't a bad thing. At least it shows that our little Sakura's reputation has already been established in the Clow Cards."

"Maybe once you appear, those mischievous Clow Cards will be terrified and surrender obediently."

"Pfft..." Sakura burst out laughing at his joke. "Ye Zi, you're really joking. How could that be possible!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +9]

"Alright, alright, stop thinking about it. Let's flip over the next card. Maybe we can find a clue to the location of this Clow Card," Ye Hui urged with a smile, indicating that she should focus on the divination itself.

"Hmm." Sakura nodded, refocusing her attention on the card spread.

After taking a deep breath, I reached out and turned over the three cards in the middle of the deck one by one.

Xiao Ke came closer, placing its paws on the table: "These three cards represent the characteristics of the target. You can deduce what kind of card it is from the meaning of the cards."

"Shadow cards, water cards, illusion cards..."

Sakura stared at the three cards, her brows furrowed, and muttered to herself thoughtfully.

Shadows, water, illusions.
These three seem to have some common connection.

Ye Hui listened from the side, already having the answer in his heart.

These keywords undoubtedly all point to Mirror Brand, which excels at copying and imitation.

It seems that Clow Card divination does have some merit; at least for now, the accuracy rate is quite high.

Now, there is only one card left in the spread.

It's located at the very bottom, and according to Xiao Ke, this card represents the current goal of the Clow Cards.

Sakura's fingers trembled slightly, clearly indicating some nervousness.

She held her breath and turned over the last card.

"Is it... Hanafuda?"

Sakura looked at the blooming flower pattern on the card and was a little confused.

Hanafuda (flower cards)?

What does this have to do with that fake?
[That despicable disciple with the Heavenly Spiritual Root, Kinomoto Sakura, was so afraid of others learning anything when she used the Star Gazing Technique that her movements were extremely secretive, resulting in you learning absolutely nothing!]

However, as a chosen one of heaven, she comprehended a trace of the laws of heaven and earth, instantly entering a state of enlightenment, and was about to break through her cultivation level!

However, during her breakthrough, Sakura Kinomoto encountered her inner demons. Just as she thought! You knew it; beneath her glamorous exterior, she's a despicable and shameless person!

[Tomoyo Daidoji, the guardian deity, assists Sakura Kinomoto in her breakthrough, but finds her trapped in her inner demons and begs for your help!]

You must show Daidouji Tomoyo who is truly upright and honorable!

[You've refreshed the Bond quest – "The Torment of Inner Demons"! You'll have to see just what Kinomoto Sakura's inner demons are!]

Ye Hui glanced at the task panel that suddenly popped up.

A new task has arrived.

He completely ignored the system's nonsensical ramblings.

Anyway, the person described above is neither the real Sakura nor the real him.

Seeing that Xiaoying was still confused, Ye Hui reminded her in time: "Hana cards do not necessarily refer to real flowers. Card divination is often more abstract. It may also represent a person or thing related to 'flowers', such as a name containing the flower or a symbol related to flowers."

"People associated with flowers?"

Sakura's eyes lit up, and she immediately began searching her memory for people she knew.

Chiharu, Naoko, Rika... none of their names seem to contain any words related to flowers.

Just as she was about to give up, a familiar figure suddenly popped into her mind.

The person who always bickers with her, yet always unintentionally protects her.

That idiot older brother whose name has "peach" in it...

Sakura's face turned pale instantly, and she suddenly raised her head: "I've got it!"

"Who did you think of?" Xiao Ke and Zhi Shi asked at the same time.

“It’s my brother!” Sakura bit her lip, her tone absolutely certain.

"Touya?" Kero was taken aback. "Why Touya? What does he have to do with karuta?"

Sakura explained, "My brother's name is Kinomoto Touya. The 'mo' in 'Touya' is the same as the 'mo' in 'peach blossom'! Peach blossoms are a type of flower!"

Upon hearing this, Keroberos and Tomoyo realized what was going on.

That's right, if that's the case, then it makes sense.

The fact that the kata represents Touya does make sense.

In other words.

The Clow Card that was causing trouble everywhere in Sakura's guise was actually targeting her brother, Touya Kinomoto.
Ye Hui nodded to himself.

The Mirror Card's target was indeed Touya; it seems there's going to be a good show to watch.

However, using Clow Cards for divination really tests one's associative abilities.

Of course, Ye Hui felt that Sakura's ability to directly associate "flower" with Touya was probably not just a simple guess, but more a result of her enhanced magical power and keen intuition about those close to her.

After all, her own name contains the character "cherry blossom," and there are many people and things related to flowers in Tomoeda Town.

But she immediately targeted her brother.

Despite lacking any supernatural abilities, she possesses this intuition, which is rather enviable.

Xiao Ke realized it too, her beady eyes widening: "That guy's going to cause trouble for Touya? How could this be?"

"What should I do? Is my brother in danger? I have to go find him right away!" Sakura said anxiously.

As she spoke, she turned and rushed out.

"Wait, Sakura!" Ye Hui grabbed her wrist, his tone steady, "Do you know exactly where Touya is right now? Going looking blindly will only waste time."

Sakura paused for a moment, then shook her head: "But I can sense the aura of the Clow Cards. If I follow the aura, I'm sure I can find them!"

"Don't panic, Sakura, calm down first."

Ye Hui's calm voice gradually calmed Sakura's disordered breathing. "Leave it to me. I'll take you there, and we'll definitely find Touya faster."

Xiaoying paused slightly, recalling the supernatural abilities Ye Hui had previously displayed, and then immediately nodded: "Okay!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +15]

Tomoyo breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes showed more trust when she looked at Ye Hui.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +5】

Oh haha~

Ye Hui was secretly delighted.

Tomoyo also contributed some emotional points, though not many, but every little bit counts.

Does Tomoyo think he looks cool in his calm and reliable state right now?
Hehehehe~.
Without further thought, Ye Hui first affixed several invisibility talismans to everyone, and then immediately used the Wind Riding Technique to take Sakura and Tomoyo into the air.

As for the destination, he already knew it in his mind.

According to the original storyline, Touya and Kagami met on the edge of a cliff in the forest park.

So he doesn't need any other operations; he can lock onto the destination directly!
Huhu——

The wind whistled in my ears.

The houses, streets, and trees on both sides rushed past, making it even more thrilling than riding a roller coaster.

This was the first time Ye Hui had flown so fast with the two of them.

He deliberately used the Golden Light Mantra to create a soft barrier around them.

It not only blocked the strong winds coming from the front, but also insulated against the chill from high altitudes.

Otherwise, at this speed, their hair would have been blown into a mess long ago.

When Ye Hui led the two to the edge of the cliff in the forest park, the sight before them made Xiaoying's heart sink to the bottom.

On the edge of the cliff, a "fake Sakura" wearing the exact same blue and white school uniform as Sakura stood there, a smug smile on her face as she looked down at the cliff below.

At her feet, a hand was clinging desperately to the rocks on the edge of the cliff.

The owner of that hand was none other than Touya Kinomoto!

His entire body was suspended in mid-air, with a steep slope more than ten meters high below, covered with rubble and thorns.

If they fall, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Onii-chan!" Sakura cried out in disbelief.

Upon hearing the sound, Jingpai looked up abruptly and saw Ye Hui and the other two floating in mid-air. She was clearly taken aback, seemingly not expecting to see "another version of herself" here.

But it quickly realized what was happening and a wicked smile crept across its lips.

She even deliberately lifted her foot and gently stepped on Touya's fingers that were gripping the rock.

It's obvious they saw the main character had arrived and were deliberately trying to provoke him.

"do not want!"

Sakura was so anxious her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Touya groaned, his fingers went numb from being stepped on, and the pressure loosened slightly. His body slid down a little, and his other hand instinctively reached out to grab something, but only managed to grab a handful of pebbles.

The personality of this Mirror sign is truly wicked to the extreme.

Ye Hui's eyes turned cold, and he gathered spiritual power with his fingers.

Swish!
A sharp water blade shot out instantly, heading straight for the mirror's face.

The mirror, however, did not flinch and simply stood there quietly.

It probably thought this was another attack from the Clow Cards, and that magic damage couldn't hurt it at all.

But what it didn't know was that Ye Hui was using spiritual power, which was completely different from the magic of the Clow Cards.

"Whoosh!"

The water blade struck the mirror's cheek precisely, instantly creating several fine cracks on its face.

The mirror brand was stunned for a moment, subconsciously touched its face, and looked at the shards on its fingertips with a hint of shock in its eyes.

Just as Ye Hui attacked the Mirror Plate, Sakura quickly broke free from the seal, raised her wand, and shouted.

"Tree!"

The voice just fell.

Countless thick green vines shot out rapidly from the cracks in the rock wall, like serpents, and coiled around the falling peach arrow.

The vines precisely wrapped around his waist and limbs, firmly securing him in mid-air and steadily stopping his downward trend.

"Great!"

Sakura and Tomoyo both breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts finally half at ease.

When Mirror saw that his prank had been ruined, he puffed up his cheeks and stomped his feet in anger.

But it knew it couldn't beat Ye Hui.

Now that there were more of them, there was no need for him to get entangled any longer, so he turned around and ran towards the woods behind him, disappearing into the dense thicket in the blink of an eye.

Ye Hui did not immediately give chase.

Let it run around for a while, then Sakura can catch it herself and vent her anger.

Ye Hui manipulated the airflow, slowly bringing himself and Zhi Shi down to the edge of the cliff.

As soon as Sakura landed, she rushed to the edge of the cliff, gripped her wand tightly with both hands, and carefully controlled the vines to slowly pull the unconscious Touya upwards.

A few minutes later, Touya was gently placed on the grass at the edge of the cliff.

His eyes were closed, his face was pale, and there was some dirt on his forehead, obviously from when he fell. He lay there unconscious.

"Brother! Brother, wake up!"

Sakura knelt beside him, gently shaking his arm, her voice trembling with tears, her eyes instantly reddening.

Tomoyo crouched down, reached out her finger, and gently checked Touya's breath and carotid artery. Then she whispered to Sakura, "Don't worry, Sakura, your brother just fainted. His breathing and pulse are still relatively stable. He should be fine."

Seeing that Tomoyo could still feel pulses, Ye Hui glanced at her, then walked over, squatted down, and checked Touya's condition.

The pupils were normal, and there were no obvious external injuries on the body.

It was just a temporary loss of oxygen that caused the fainting spell; it's really nothing serious.

"Touya-kun is fine. He should wake up after resting for a while," he added.

Hear this.

Sakura finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then a deep sense of self-reproach welled up inside her.

"It's all my fault... If that Clow Card hadn't imitated me, my brother wouldn't have been in this danger..."

“Sakura, this is none of your business.”

Ye Hui squatted down and patted her shoulder. "It's that Clow Card that's too mischievous, deliberately causing trouble. Even without you, it would have found another way to mess things up."

"You did a great job arriving in time to save Touya-nii."

"But it's covering my face..." Sakura lowered her head, her voice muffled, still unable to let go of the feeling.

Tomoyo gently hugged her and patted her back tenderly to comfort her: "Sakura, you didn't do anything wrong."

"If you hadn't reacted quickly and used the tree tag to pull Touya back in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. You've done a great job."

Kero flew out of the Book of Seals and landed next to Sakura: "That's right! That's right! You were pretty good when you summoned the Tree Cards just now. You didn't hesitate at all. You were just like Cardcaptor Sakura!"

Ye Hui blinked.

He felt as if he was actually raising a beautiful girl.
Moreover, everyone around Sakura exudes the aura of a perfect parent.

There were no accusations, only heartfelt comfort and patient guidance.

Growing up in such a warm environment, how could Sakura not be adorable?
With everyone's comforting words, Sakura's emotions gradually calmed down.

But soon, she frowned again, looking troubled, and said, "Wait a minute... how are we going to explain all this to my brother when he wakes up? We can't just tell him it was the Clow Cards, can we? He'll definitely call me a little lunatic again..."

Ye Hui pursed his lips, suppressing a laugh, then stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Indeed, while Touya can sense magical energy, he most likely doesn't know the exact existence of the Clow Cards. He'll have to put some thought into coming up with a plausible excuse.

You can't just say that what pushed Touya off the cliff was a Clow Card that can mimic people.

And what saved him was the vine that Sakura summoned with magic, right?
In that case, Sakura's secret as the Cardcaptor Sakura would probably be completely exposed and made public.

Although Touya had long suspected that she was doing something dangerous, he never pointed it out.

Sakura, however, was unaware of her brother's thoughts and thought she had hidden them well.

This delicate situation, where "you think I don't know, but I've already seen through it all," gave her a bit of a headache.

Oh dear, what kind of nesting dolls are these?

Of course, Ye Hui felt that there was no need to deliberately hide the matter of magic.

There's a saying that goes, "Even if ordinary people see magic, or someone sees him undergoing tribulation."

so what?

There are mortals who will explain the scriptures to me.

Therefore, for someone like Touya, who is a close relative, there is really no need to go to great lengths to hide their identity.

This isn't some newly emerging world of demonic sects.

"This... I really can't think of a reasonable explanation." Sakura frowned.

"How about... we say he accidentally slipped and fell, and a passing hiker pulled him up with a rope?" Xiao Ke flapped its wings and offered an idea.

"Do you think your brother will believe that?" Sakura rolled her eyes at it, her tone tinged with helplessness. "His observation skills are so sharp; you've almost been caught several times. He'll see through this kind of flawed lie in three seconds!"

As the younger sister, she knew all too well how thoughtful her older brother was.

"What should we do then! We can't just tell the truth, can we?" Little Ke spread out her little paws, looking completely helpless. "Our identity as a mage must not be revealed!"

Seeing Xiaoying's helpless look, Ye Hui couldn't help but smile: "Actually, there's an even simpler way—have you forgotten that you still have the 'Eliminate Card'? It can also erase specific memories."

However, even if the card is cleared, given Touya's sensitivity to magic, he will probably still retain some vague impressions.

At most, it will just make Sakura continue to think that her brother knows nothing.

"Oh right! How could I forget about the elimination card!"

Sakura slapped her forehead, her eyes lighting up instantly. "If I use the eraser to erase my brother's memory of the danger he just experienced, he won't ask me about it anymore!"

This method is absolutely perfect!

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +14]

But her excitement didn't last long before Sakura hesitated again: "But... is it really okay to just erase my brother's memories like that?"

She bit her lip, feeling somewhat uneasy.

“Memories are precious to everyone. I always feel like I’m doing something wrong by arbitrarily erasing a part of his experience.”

Tomoyo noticed her concerns and gently took her hand: "Sakura, I understand your worries."

"But think about it, if Touya retains this memory, he will definitely worry about you a lot, and may even try to stop you from continuing to collect Clow Cards—he loves you so much, he definitely doesn't want to see you get involved in danger again."

Given Touya's personality, he probably wouldn't directly stop it; he'd just keep an eye on it silently, working odd jobs and hoping to "coincidentally" run into it.

Sakura, without making a sound, was giving away spoilers.

After all, he's a ruthless guy who can tear apart water cards with his bare hands!

With him protecting her, what danger could possibly harm Sakura?
Sakura was silent.

She knew that Zhi Shi and Ye Hui were both right.

If his brother knew about the existence of the Clow Cards, given his protective nature, he would definitely stand in front of him.

He might even be in danger, like he is today, trying to protect her.

She didn't want her brother to worry about her anymore.

"I see!"

Sakura took a deep breath and finally made up her mind.

She took out the card and softly chanted the incantation. The card then emitted a soft white light, which slowly merged into Touya's forehead.

He completely erased his memories of the mirror and the cliff encounter.

Ye Hui clapped his hands: "Alright, now it's time to deal with that naughty Clow Card. It'll be a good opportunity for you to vent your anger!"

"It hasn't gone far; it's still in this area."

He sensed the lingering magical fluctuations of the mirror tablet and pointed to the woods not far away.

Sakura immediately gripped her wand tightly, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.

This time we must seize it and teach this wretched Clow Card a lesson!
Ye Hui maintained his spiritual awareness, and the movement of the mirror tablet was clearly presented in his perception.

It hadn't gone far at all; it was just hiding in the woods not far away, secretly observing the movements on the cliff edge, seemingly still plotting something.

"That wretched creature! I'm going to catch it this time!"

Sakura gripped her wand tightly and said angrily.

She felt a surge of anger when she thought about the bad things the mirror brand had done with her face on it!
Ye Hui stepped forward and explained on Xiao Ke's behalf: "However, this Clow Card is very special. Ordinary attack cards and binding cards may be ineffective against it."

"But as soon as you call out its real name, it should immediately revert to its original form and lose its ability to resist."

"Hey?! You brat! You stole my lines! Wait, how did you know all that detail?"

Xiao Ke bristled, crossed her arms, and glared at Ye Hui, "This kind of crucial information should be delivered by me, the sealed beast!"

Who exactly is the sealed beast of the Clow Cards?!

[Kerberos's Mood Value +13]

Sakura ignored their bickering and began to think seriously: "Real name? What is its real name? We can't just call it 'imposter,' can we?"

Ye Hui smiled and guided, "Think back carefully about the cards that were just divined: Shadow, Water, Illusion. The answer is hidden in their meanings."

"Which cards contain the answer?"

Sakura tilted her head, her brows furrowing slightly, and began to organize her thoughts: "Shadow Card... the shadow imitates the movements of the original body, much like how it replicates my appearance, Water Card... the surface of water reflects things, just like..."

"Like a mirror?" Tomoyo pondered from the side.

"Yes! Just like a mirror!" Sakura's eyes lit up. "The image reflected on the water isn't the real thing either! And the illusion cards represent falsehood and unreality—isn't that its power?"

"I know!" Sakura exclaimed, her tone certain. "Its true name is Mirror!"

Mirror!

This card can perfectly replicate the appearance of the target, just like a mirror.

However, his inner personality is completely opposite to that of the person he copied.

Sakura is gentle and kind, but it is mischievous and naughty.

The three cards, Shadow, Water, and Illusion, perfectly illustrate the essence and characteristics of the Mirror card's power.

"Bingo! You got it right!"

Ye Hui snapped his fingers and looked at her approvingly.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +18]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +13】

"Damn it! This is all my work!" Xiao Ke gritted his teeth.

Sakura clenched her fist excitedly and said impatiently, "Now that we know its name, let's go find it!"

“Come on, it’s in the woods over there, it hasn’t gone far.” Ye Hui pointed to the woods on the left. “I’ll stay here and watch Touya, you guys go ahead.”

He wasn't worried at all.

Once the real name is known, the mirror brand will have no chance of escaping.

“Okay!” Sakura replied, gripping her wand and rushing into the woods first, with Tomoyo following closely behind.

Xiao Ke pouted and followed.

As soon as Sakura rushed into the woods, she saw the "fake Sakura" squatting on the ground with her back to her, seemingly fiddling with something.

"Don't even think about running away again!"

Sakura immediately raised her wand and pointed it at it, "I already know your real name!"

She took a deep breath and shouted, "Mirror!"

The moment the words fell.

The figure that looked exactly like Sakura vanished like smoke.

Instead, there was a stunningly beautiful girl wearing a long robe and with flowing green hair.

She hovered quietly in mid-air, a faint sadness in her eyes, a stark contrast to her mischievous and naughty demeanor just moments before.

"Eh……"

When Tomoyo, who was following behind, saw the true form revealed by the mirror, she couldn't help but widen her purple eyes slightly. She also steadily pointed her camera at the floating green-haired girl and recorded this dreamlike scene.

"How... how can she be so beautiful..." Sakura was also stunned.

She never expected that the imposter, who was using her face to cause trouble everywhere, would be like this.

Her true identity is actually a stunningly beautiful older sister with a cool and aloof demeanor.

Completely different from his previous unruly self!

She thought the other party would be something evil and ugly!

Just as Sakura was about to step forward and raise her wand to seal the Mirror Card.

Mirror suddenly turned around and faced out of the woods.

It slowly drifted away in the direction where Touya was.

"Huh? Where is it going?" Sakura was stunned and subconsciously followed it.

The mirror floated out of the woods and went straight to the edge of the cliff.

When it saw Touya lying unconscious on the grass, the sorrow in its eyes deepened.

The mirror tablet slowly descended and floated to Touya's side.

It placed a gentle kiss on Touya's forehead.

"Huh? Is it saying goodbye to its brother?" Sakura asked softly from a short distance away.

"Probably." Tomoyo looked thoughtfully at the mirror plaque. "Perhaps it was causing trouble before to get someone's attention, and didn't really intend to hurt anyone?"

"No matter what, we have to seal it away quickly!" Sakura raised her wand and pointed it at the Mirror Card. "Restore your original form, Clow Card!"

The mirror did not resist, but gave Touya one last deep look.

Then, a white light emanated from its body, and it slowly transformed back into the form of a playing card, gently landing in Sakura's hand.

The newly acquired Clow Card clearly depicts the green-haired girl, her eyes tinged with a faint melancholy.

[With your help, Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, has successfully defeated her inner demons! However, this is only from the perspective of the Guardian Daidouji Tomoyo!]

[You didn't actually contribute anything in this! You just wanted to see how Kinomoto Sakura's inner demons were handling things so you could use that information to deal with her, but little did you know that the protagonist is the protagonist! Kinomoto Sakura actually defeated her inner demons through her unwavering willpower! Daidouji Tomoyo, however, mistakenly believed it was your help and was extremely grateful to you, which you accepted without a second thought!]

[Congratulations on completing the side quest "The Torment of Inner Demons"! You have successfully earned Tomoyo Daidouji's gratitude and obtained the Golden Stone Manual (Fragment). Would you like to use it?]

The system task log pops up on time.

Ye Hui's eyes lit up when he saw the reward.

The Secret Records of Metal and Stone? Isn't that just the Golden Spiritual Root?
It has been a long time since I last obtained the Wood Spirit Root.

I never expected that this mission would actually yield rewards related to spiritual roots!
He suppressed his excitement, planning to study it more carefully when he got back.

Ye Hui looked at Touya, who was still unconscious on the ground, and then glanced at the spot where the mirror had kissed him. He couldn't help but complain in his heart.

This guy's luck with women is truly extraordinary.

First there was Teacher Mizuki, then Yukito, and now even the Mirror Card has special feelings for him, and in the future there will be Yue...

Why don't the people around him act like that?
For example, having slightly different feelings for him.
"Brother hasn't woken up yet, what should we do?" Sakura squatted down next to Touya, gently nudged his arm, and looked worried.

They can't just leave him lying here forever, but how are they going to get him back?
"Otherwise, I'll use my wind manipulation technique to take him back," Ye Hui suggested.

With his current spiritual power, he can easily carry people through the air.

Sakura shook her head: "That would still be a bit dangerous. What if my brother suddenly wakes up during the flight and finds himself flying in the sky? He would probably be terrified. And what if he falls down while flying? After all, Onii-chan is quite heavy, even though he doesn't look fat at all."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

Ye Hui blinked.

Is Sakura questioning his business acumen?

Let alone one Touya, even if there were ten more, he could bring them back safely without them even shaking.

"What should we do? We can't just leave him in the park forever, can we?" Little Ke flapped its wings.

"I'll figure something out," Tomoyo said, taking her phone out of her bag and dialing a number with practiced ease.

After the call was connected, she calmly explained the situation: "I'm currently on the edge of a cliff in the forest park. Could you please send a car over?"

"Someone here is feeling unwell and has fainted. They need to be taken home. The address is the Kinomoto residence. Please do so as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Tomoyo turned around and smiled at Sakura and Ye Hui, saying, "Alright, the car should be here soon."

Sakura was taken aback, then looked a little embarrassed: "Thank you, Tomoyo."

Ye Hui laughed heartily.

Indeed, money is a good way to solve problems!

If Tomoyo hadn't called first, he had originally planned to contact his butler to arrange a vehicle.

The car arrived quickly, in less than ten minutes.

A discreet black sedan slowly pulled up to a stop on the side of the road at the park entrance.

The car door opens.

Two bodyguards in dark suits got out and professionally carried Touya onto the back seat on a stretcher.

Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi got into another car that accompanied them.

Kero was carefully stuffed into Sakura's pocket, with only his little head sticking out, pretending to be a doll.

The car soon arrived at the Kinomoto residence.

The bodyguards carried Touya into the room gently and placed him on the bed.

Then he left quietly.

"Thank you so much, Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura said gratefully, holding Tomoyo's hand.

"You're welcome. Sakura is my favorite friend. I'm happy to help my friend." Tomoyo gently shook her head.

Then, she took out her camera and started playing back the footage she had shot during the day to see if there were any good clips that she could cut out directly when she got home.

After school in the afternoon, I ate ice cream at the penguin park.

Later, we followed the sign to the forest park.

Then came the successful capture of the Clow Cards.

Before I knew it, the sky had completely darkened, and a few stars dotted the night sky outside the window.

"Thank you so much, Ye Zi. You not only helped me clear up the misunderstanding, but you also helped me find the Mirror Card."

Sakura turned around and gave Ye Hui a sweet smile.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +12]

Ye Hui smiled and his mood improved: "No need to thank me, I'm glad I could help."

Hmm, it feels pretty good to be thanked by Sakura like that~

at this time.

Touya on the bed twitched her eyelashes slightly, and then slowly opened her eyes.

He stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, seemingly not fully awake, then slowly turned his head and met the sight of Sakura smiling at Ye Hui.

Momoya: (◣_◢)
Touya's expression instantly darkened, his brows furrowed, and his eyes showed obvious displeasure.

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +15】

"Brother! You're awake!" Sakura didn't notice the change in his expression. Seeing that he was awake, she excitedly went to the bedside.

Upon hearing Sakura's voice, Touya composed himself and his expression returned to normal, though his voice was still a little hoarse.

"Sakura? How come I... am in my own room?"

He rubbed his temples, seemingly having no memory of what had happened.

Ye Hui, however, was inwardly grumbling.

Well, Touya's acting skills are pretty good too.

She was so fierce when she glared at him just now, but now she's immediately pretending to be an amnesiac passerby.

"You fell off your bicycle this afternoon and passed out."

Sakura answered according to the words they had agreed on beforehand, her eyes slightly darting away.

"Is that so?" Touya frowned.

"Brother, I'm sorry." Sakura lowered her head and apologized softly.

"Huh? What are you apologizing for?" Touya stared at Sakura.

"Because... because I didn't catch you when you fell, that's why you got hurt." Sakura made up a reason casually.

What she really wanted to apologize for was that she had erased his memory and kept the Clow Cards a secret from him.

Touya looked at her guilty little face, sighed, and reached out to rub her head: "Silly girl, what does this have to do with you? I fell down by myself. Okay, I'm a little thirsty, where's the water?"

"Ah! Here it is!"

Sakura quickly picked up the water glass that had been prepared on the bedside table and handed it to him.

Touya drank a few sips of warm water, which relieved the dryness in his throat. He then looked at Sakura and asked, "I'm hungry. What should we have for dinner tonight?"

"Let's go prepare dinner right away!"

As Sakura spoke, she pulled Ye Hui and Tomoyo away from Touya's room in a quick manner.

After closing the door, she muttered softly, "Ye, the card should have completely erased my brother's memories of the cliff, right..."

Ye Hui knew that eliminating the cards wasn't a complete solution.

Given the strength of Touya's own magical power, it's highly likely that he will still retain a vague impression.

But he didn't point it out, and simply went along with it, saying, "Of course it's gone."

"However, the effect of eliminating cards will be slightly weakened for people who possess magic or spiritual power, but it will have almost no impact. They won't remember what exactly happened."

This way, it wouldn't be considered deception, and it would also put Sakura at ease.

While preparing dinner, Sakura was somewhat distracted, her eyes darting around as she chopped vegetables, and the blade almost touched her fingers.

Fortunately, Ye Hui reacted quickly and pressed her hand down in time: "Xiaoying, be careful."

"Sakura, why don't you rest for a while? Ye and I will take care of the preparations," Tomoyo said softly, stopping her washing of vegetables.

Sakura pursed her lips, nodded sullenly, walked to the sofa in the living room, sat down, and stared blankly with her hands supporting her chin.

Seeing this, Xiao Ke flew out and landed on her knees: "Xiao Ying, are you still thinking about the Mirror Card incident today?"

"Hmm." Sakura nodded. "Kero, do you think there will be more Clow Cards like the Mirror Card that could hurt the people around me in the future?"

"Well...maybe."

Kero's tone was unusually lighthearted, and her wings drooped slightly. "The abilities of the Clow Cards are all kinds of strange and wonderful. Some of the cards' power is dangerous in itself. If it gets out of control, it could indeed affect other people."

"I remember when we first met, didn't you say that?"

Sakura looked up at Kero seriously and said, "You said that when all the seals on the Clow Cards are broken, the world will face a huge disaster."

"Yes, I did say that." Xiao Ke nodded.

Sakura frowned even more: "What kind of disaster is that? Could something terrible happen? Like... the Earth being destroyed, leaving everyone homeless?"

Ye Hui listened from the kitchen, secretly amused.

Sakura's imagination is truly quite rich.

Such an exaggerated disaster wouldn't happen in the world of Magic Cards.

Tomoyo also stopped what she was doing and looked over.

"Oh, that kind of thing won't happen," Xiao Ke waved her little paws, dispelling her concerns. "It's not that exaggerated."

"What kind of disaster would that be?" Sakura pressed on relentlessly.

"Well..." Xiao Ke scratched his head and said somewhat vaguely, "It might vary from person to person. For some people, it might not be a big disaster."

It varies from person to person?

Ye Hui understood.

He remembered that in the original work, this so-called "disaster" actually made people forget the people they loved most.

For insignificant people, it might just be the loss of a memory.

But for girls like Sakura and Tomoyo, who value feelings above all else...

Forgetting those who cherish us is undoubtedly a punishment more painful than the destruction of the world.

However, Ye Hui was not worried.

With him there, even if something unexpected happens in the end and all the Clow Cards cannot be sealed as smoothly as in the original work, he can still ensure that all of them are sealed.

He would never allow such a disaster to happen.

After all, he had worked hard to raise Tomoyo's favorability to this level.

I don't want all my previous efforts to be wasted and I to go back to square one because of some inexplicable "disaster"!

Sakura remained silent for a moment, her eyes gradually hardening.

This time, I was more persistent than ever before.

"I will work even harder to capture the Clow Cards from now on! I will never let them cause trouble again, and I will never let them hurt Dad, my brother, Kero, Tomoyo, Yoko, or anyone else!"

"Wow! You're full of energy! This is the Cardcaptor Sakura I know!"

Xiao Ke nodded with satisfaction.

The controversy caused by the mirror card has helped Sakura grow up a lot.

They not only have a greater sense of responsibility, but also have clearer goals and directions.

"I'll always help, and so will Yoko. We're all here for Sakura!" Tomoyo walked over, gently took Sakura's hand, and spoke in a gentle yet powerful tone.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +13】

Ye Hui felt a warmth in his heart.

Oh dear~ Tomoyo even added it in.

I'm so sorry~
Does this mean he and Sakura have become Tomoyo's monogamous couple?
"Yeah! With you guys here, I'm not scared at all!"

Sakura nodded emphatically, a bright smile returning to her face.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +16]

The heavy discussion about the "disaster" was thus put to rest.

"jingle--"

The doorbell rang suddenly.

"It must be Daddy coming home! I'll go open the door!" Sakura got up, ran quickly to the entrance, and opened the door.

However, it wasn't Fujitaka standing outside the door, but Yukito.

"Sakura, good evening!"

"Brother Snow Rabbit! What brings you here?"

Sakura opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"I heard from others that Touya seems to be injured, so I came here specifically to see him."

Snow Rabbit shook the bag of fruit in his hand, "I also brought some apples that he likes."

"Brother is resting in his room! Yukito-nii, come in and sit down! Dinner will be ready soon, why don't you stay and eat with us? I'll make extra!" Sakura greeted warmly.

Yukito smiled and agreed, then followed Sakura into Touya's room.

Dinner tonight is prepared in a rather simple way.

They are wraps.

Simply fry the pancakes in a skillet until golden brown.

Add some pre-cooked vegetables, eggs, and diced meat, roll it up, and it's ready to eat.

"Dad seems to be working overtime tonight and probably won't be back until very late. Let's have dinner in my brother's room tonight; it'll be convenient to carry the wraps around!"

Sakura, carrying two freshly rolled pancakes, ran excitedly towards Touya's room.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi stayed in the kitchen, made some more wraps, and then began to clean up the frying pan and cutting board.

"Ye Zi, did you also foresee the location where Touya was in danger today?"

Tomoyo asked casually as she wiped the plates.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +9】

Yes, Tomoyo is indeed more attentive and observant than Sakura.

However, perhaps it's because she's naturally sensitive, or perhaps it's because she cares about him?

Why would you pay extra attention to his actions?

He nodded: "Yes, I sensed the magical fluctuations of the mirror tablet in advance and roughly determined where it might go."

"So, when Sakura encounters a Clow Card, does Ye-kun also anticipate it in advance?" Tomoyo stopped what she was doing and looked up at him.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

Ye Hui was momentarily speechless.

This question is not easy to answer.

If I said yes, wouldn't that feel like I'm just letting things slide? Tomoyo wouldn't hate him, would she...?

He often spoiled the plot for the two girls, so Tomoyo could sense it to some extent...

Just as he was considering his words, Tomoyo smiled first and stopped asking questions: "I see. In any case, I am very grateful to Yoko for staying with Sakura and helping her so much."
