Just then, the music teacher arrived. This teacher knew Hiroyu Mikami and had invited him to join the choir for a long time. However, Hiroyu Mikami refused, and since then, he had never played the piano again, much to the teacher's regret. "If I had known it would turn out this way, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry; I scared him half to death."

"Haoyu, have you finally come to your senses and decided to join the choir? With you joining us, the championship is definitely our Youzhi Elementary School's!" the teacher said excitedly, grabbing Yu Shen Haoyu's hand.

Tomoyo cleverly solved this problem for Mikami Hiroyu, saying, "Teacher, let's start the training!"

The teacher seemed to know that it was impossible for Hiroyu Mikami to join the choir, but still made a request: Hiroyu Mikami would accompany Tomoyo on the piano during her practice sessions.

Seeing the longing looks in Tomoyo's, Sakura's, and their classmates' eyes, Mikami Hiroyu agreed.

Tomoyo played the piano in perfect harmony with Hiroyu Mikami, which calmed everyone present and allowed them to listen to this rare and wonderful song.

Soon, it was getting late, almost time for the school to close, and the choir was packed. Yu Shen Haoyu stopped playing the piano and said, "It's getting late, let's call it a day."

Then, as darkness fell, everyone reluctantly left. Only Hiroyuki Mikami, Tomoyo, Sakura, and the music teacher remained.

Under the music teacher's resentful gaze, Mikami Hiroyu left with Tomoyo and Sakura, leaving the teacher, filled with resentment, tidying up the classroom.

"I'm sorry, you guys are going home so late too," Tomoyo apologized on the bridge at Penguin Park where they parted ways.

"No, thank you. You let me hear such beautiful music," Sakura said, holding Tomoyo's hand.

See you tomorrow.

"See you tomorrow"

Sakura quickly ran home, since it was getting late.

"Haoyu, can I make a request of you?" Zhi Shi asked, her head down, one foot circling on the ground.

"Then tell me what your requirements are first."

"It's not that important, but could you please not play the piano in front of strangers in the future? I know this request is unreasonable." Tomoyo had witnessed the irresistible charm that Hiroyu Mikami had for girls when he played the piano today, and she was a little scared.

Yu Shenhao smiled and said, "Sure, if you want to be honest, you were the one who started this today."

"Are you serious?" Tomoyo asked again, somewhat incredulously, after hearing Hiroyu Mikami's reply.

"When have you ever seen me lie?" Yu Shenhaoyu asked, feigning anger.

"So this is the agreement you made with me."

"It's agreed."

After receiving Hiroyu Mikami's affirmation, Tomoyo smiled happily.

See you tomorrow.

"See you tomorrow"

Zhi Shi hadn't walked far when she turned around and smiled, "Hao Yu, your piano playing is really beautiful," and then quickly ran away.

Yu Shenhao smiled helplessly.

That night, Mikami Hiroyu had another precognitive dream about the Clow Cards. This time, the clue was very clear: it was the karuta (the Song).

The next day, after the choir left the school, Mikami Hiroyu entered the school alone.

After finding the karuta card, they discovered that ordinary methods couldn't subdue her, so they had no choice but to showcase their singing voice in order to seal the karuta card.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Catching a Cold

Mikami Hiroyu is sick. Yes, Mikami Hiroyu, who possesses immense magical power, is sick. Of course, it's not unusual for a magician to fall ill.

Because physical fitness is a weakness for magicians, although Yu Shenhaoyu's body is much better than that of ordinary magicians, the word "illness" is generally not associated with him.

Mikami Hiroyu's illness was not due to any ordinary circumstances; there were complex reasons behind it.

Yu Shen Haoyu lay in bed, dismissing Li Xiaolang and Mei Ling who wanted to take care of him, and telling them to go to school. Yu Shen Haoyu's reasoning was quite sound: with the Clow Cards looking after him, he would be fine. However, it seemed there was an important class to attend today, so Li Xiaolang and Li Mei Ling had no choice but to go to school.

Yu Shen Haoyu comforted Jingpai by the bedside, saying weakly, "Jingpai is fine, it's just a cold, he'll get better soon. Don't make things difficult for Xiaopai, he didn't mean it."

Jingpai looked worriedly at its owner lying on the bed. Its owner, who was always so healthy and energetic, was now weak and listless. It was all Jingpai's fault.

Little Card is now filled with regret. He should have listened to his master. Now he's surrounded by his brothers and sisters, all looking at him like a prisoner, except for Water Card, who's using water vapor to cool his master down. But Water Card also glances at him every now and then. Thankfully, his master told him not to make things difficult for him, otherwise it wouldn't just be staring at him. Little Card truly regrets it.

The story begins simply: last night, Yuu Mikami went out to play with the Clow Cards as usual. However, this time Yuu Mikami went a bit too far, venturing out to sea. The weather is slowly turning to autumn, and the temperature has dropped considerably.

The Clow Cards couldn't be in the water; they were on the shore. Those that could go into the water went in. The Water Cards, in particular, were very happy once they were in the water.

As for Mikami Hiroyu himself, after instructing the Clow Cards not to disturb him, he found a relatively high spot on the coast, sat cross-legged, and began to regulate the magical power in his body.

Mirror Cards were originally meant to protect Yu Shen Hao Yu, but Yu Shen Hao Yu distracted them. Plus, Mirror Cards also wanted to play some games, so they didn't insist and went off to play themselves.

Just as Yu Shen Haoyu was at a crucial moment, Xiao Pai appeared beside him, tugged at his clothes, and tried to get him to play with him. But the tug had no effect, so Xiao Pai got angry and used his magic to shrink Yu Shen Haoyu.

This caused Yu Shen Haoyu's magic to become uncontrollable and chaotic, and he then spat out a mouthful of blood, shrinking to the size of a small card.

Unfortunately, a sea breeze blew by at that moment, carrying the shrunken Mikami Hiroyu into the sea.

When Mikami Hiroyu's magical energy became chaotic, the Clow Cards knew something was wrong with their master. They stopped everything they were doing and rushed to where Mikami Hiroyu was trying to restore his magical energy. But they only saw blood on the ground; their master was nowhere to be seen.

The little card seemed to realize he'd made a huge mistake; he pointed to the sea, then lay down on the ground and started crying.

They were all Clow Cards, and they all understood what the small card meant. The Water Card immediately jumped down in the opposite direction the small card pointed to, while the other Clow Cards searched for the place where Mikami Hiroyu had disappeared.

Not long after the incident, Yu Shen Hao Yu was found by the Water Card. The Water Card carried Yu Shen Hao Yu to the Little Card's side, and the Little Card, seeing its master had been found, immediately dispelled its magic, forgetting its tears.

After the small card dispelled the magic, Yu Shen Haoyu returned to his original appearance, but his face was pale.

"Master, Master"

When Mikami Hiroyu heard the Mirror Card calling him, he forced himself to open his eyes, said, "Go home, find Teacher Mizuki," and then fainted.

When Mikami Hiroyu regained consciousness, he found himself at home, surrounded by Clow Cards, and Mizuki Kaho asleep on his desk.

Riki was the first to notice that Yushin Hiroyu had woken up, and asked worriedly, "How is Master? Are you feeling better?"

Yu Shenhao reached out to touch Li Pai's head, but he couldn't muster any strength, and his hand fell limply onto the bed halfway through the air.

Mirror quickly placed Mikami Hiroyu's hand under the covers. Seeing that even the Clow Cards were worried about him, Mikami Hiroyu weakly said, "You guys turn back into cards first! I'm fine."

But his extremely weak tone betrayed him; he wasn't someone who could be easily persuaded. For the first time, the Clow Cards refused Mikami Hiroyu's command, shaking their heads in unison.

"Listen to your master! You can't solve anything this way, and you'll only add to his burden," came Mizuki Kaho's weary voice.

The Clow Cards thought for a moment, then glanced at Mikami Hiroyu, before flying into the grimoire. Only the Mirror Card, the Power Card, and the Minor Card remained. These three cards were determined to protect their master, so Mikami Hiroyu went with them.

"Thank you, Ms. Mizuki."

"I'm still arguing with you! But now that you're awake, I have to leave. If your fiancée and girlfriend find out I stayed here last night, you're in trouble."

After finishing speaking, Mizuki Kaho opened the window, then, as if suddenly remembering something, turned around and said, "By the way, your brother and fiancée don't know you're like this yet." Then she left through the window.

After opening the window and closing the window, the mirror sign saw that its master was asleep. After covering Yu Shen Haoyu with bedding, it sat down by the bed and placed the small sign under its protection until dawn.

As usual, Tomoyo was the first to arrive at the classroom this morning. After wiping Mikami Hiroyu's desk, she waited for him to arrive, but he didn't appear until Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling arrived.

Later, Li Meiling told him that Yu Shenhaoyu had caught a bad cold and couldn't come to class.

When Tomoyo learned that Hiroyuki Mikami had caught a bad cold, she wanted to rush to his side immediately. However, class was about to start, and if she missed it, people around her would become suspicious of her relationship with Hiroyuki.

Although Hiroyu Mikami hasn't accepted her confession yet, and she's not his girlfriend, Tomoyo has already assumed the role of Hiroyu Mikami's girlfriend.

After attending two classes, Tomoyo became really worried about Mikami Hiroyu, so she asked her teacher for leave and left the school, taking a bus to Mikami Hiroyu's house.

This time, the mirror tablet opened the door for Tomoyo again, but it used her original form to open the door. As soon as Tomoyo entered, she asked, "How is Hiroyu? Are you feeling better?"

"Master is much better, but he won't eat breakfast. Can you persuade him?" The mirror tablet led Tomoyo to Mikami Hiroyu's room.

Tomoyo nodded, then straightened her clothes slightly. Seeing that nothing seemed amiss, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in"

Yu Shenhao was wondering who would come at this time. He understood as soon as the door opened.

"Are you feeling better?" Tomoyo asked about Mikami Hiroyu's physical condition as soon as she came in.

"I'm much better now. What brings you here? Are you in class?"

"You're sick, how can I be in the mood to teach! I heard from Kagami that you don't eat breakfast, that won't do. Wait for me to make you something to eat," Tomoyo said before going downstairs to prepare a meal for Mikami Hiroyu.

When Yu Shen Haoyu heard Zhi Shi say, "You're sick, how can I possibly concentrate on teaching?", he was stunned for a long time. A model student in the eyes of her teachers, a beloved daughter in the hearts of her parents. Now, she had even skipped class to come see him.

What guy wouldn't like a girl like that? Even Yu Shen Haoyu is no exception; he's deeply in love with such a beautiful woman. But he also has a huge mission to fulfill—it's a real dilemma!

Soon, Tomoyo carried a bowl of porridge into Mikami Hiroyu's room. Mikami Hiroyu had no appetite, but seeing the porridge Tomoyo was carrying, he suddenly felt very hungry.

Watching Tomoyo feed him bite by bite, Mikami Hiroyu really wanted to hold the girl in his arms. However, he ultimately gave up the idea, constantly reminding himself that he had something very important to do, something very important.

After preparing lunch for Mikami Hiroyu, Tomoyo left, reminding him how to recover before departing.

After the Mirror Card sent Tomoyo away, Mikami Hiroyu smiled wryly. This girl named Daidouji Tomoyo probably can't escape her own world. For her sake alone, I need to speed up my collection of the Clow Cards.

During the time that Mikami Hiroyu was recuperating, Sakura and Tomoyo visited him several times. Sometimes he came alone, and sometimes they came together.

One day, when Sakura and Tomoyo came to visit Hiroyu Mikami, Hiroyu told Sakura about the precognitive dream he had the night before.

Hiroyu Mikami tells Sakura that they will be learning to make cakes in their home economics class, and a card called "THESWEET" will come out to cause trouble, making the cakes surprisingly sweet.

After Sakura and Tomoyo left, Hiroyuki Mikami also told his older brother, Li Xiaolang, who brought him a bowl of rice, about the precognitive dream. He explained that he had asked Sakura to tell Li Xiaolang about it since he wasn't there at the time.

On the day of the housework lesson, Li Xiaolang and Mei Ling both took a shower as soon as they got home. Seeing their disheveled appearance, Yu Shen Haoyu assumed they had failed. A while later, Li Xiaolang came out after his shower and explained why they looked so disheveled.

Although Sakura and Li Xiaolang were very careful thanks to Mikami Hiroyu's guidance, they were still caught off guard by Ganpai. Furthermore, it was daytime, and there were many people at school, preventing them from using magic freely, which is why they ended up in this disheveled state.

Sakura ultimately obtained the Clow Cards. Tomoyo had come up with a crucial idea during the catching process, which enabled Sakura and Li Xiaolang to capture the cards. Mei Ling, on the other hand, seemed to have done more harm than good and was quite frustrated.

Soon, Yu Shen Haoyu's illness was almost fully recovered. He mentioned that he hadn't been to school for about a week. During these past few days, Jingpai had stayed by his side, fearing that something might happen to him again. Yu Shen Haoyu had tried to persuade him many times, but Jingpai wouldn't change its mind and insisted on staying by its master's side.

After Yushin Hiroyu recovered from his illness, the weather gradually turned cold. Winter arrived...

Chapter Thirty-Nine Treaty

After recovering from his illness, Yu Shen Haoyu discovered that his magic power seemed to have increased significantly. It seemed that the magic backlash had actually benefited him. However, he was determined not to experience another one like this.

Now, whenever Yu Shen Haoyu cultivates, he always finds someone to protect him. Otherwise, he never wants to experience the feeling of demonic backlash again.

As for the true culprit who caused his magic to backfire, Xiao Pai, considering that it wasn't intentional, Yu Shen Hao Yu didn't punish him. On the contrary, Yu Shen Hao Yu even went out of his way to dispel Xiao Pai's unease and guilt, who was still resentful about his wrongdoing.

Since then, the small cards seem to have gotten much bigger. But when needed, they can still be a great help.

Currently, the task of protecting Yu Shen Haoyu is still primarily led by the Mirror Token. After all, the Mirror Token is more convenient in various aspects, and of course, it currently considers protecting Yu Shen Haoyu's cultivation to be of great importance.

Mirror believes she bears a large part of the responsibility for what happened at the beach last time. If she hadn't been so playful, she wouldn't have let Little Card get close to her, and none of what followed would have happened.

Mikami Hiroyu had tried to persuade Mirror, but Mirror remained steadfast in her beliefs. Therefore, during Mikami Hiroyu's recovery period, Mirror stayed by his side, a situation that left Mikami Hiroyu feeling helpless.

After the incident of Mikami Hiroyu's magical backlash, the Clow Cards held a meeting in Mikami Hiroyu's grimoire, initiated by the Mirror Card.

The Mirror Card pointed out at the meeting that because their master treated the Clow Cards too well, the Clow Cards were almost forgetting their responsibilities and mission as Clow Cards.

This made even the Clow Card in Mikami Hiroyu's hand lower its head in embarrassment, its headless form radiating shame. Yes! The Clow Cards are meant to protect their owners, offering their abilities and loyalty to them.

Although the Clow Cards did their best to offer their abilities and loyalty to their master, and did so perfectly, Mikami Hiroyu's doting on the Clow Cards caused him to forget the most fundamental and important point.

That was to protect their master's safety. Perhaps it was because Mikami Hiroyu was so powerful that the Clow Cards forgot about this. After being captured by Mikami Hiroyu, the Clow Cards became more and more human-like, developing their own emotions and thoughts.

When Clow Reed created them, the Clow Cards, while possessing personal emotions and thoughts, were quite simple. To give an analogy, if the Clow Cards created by Clow Reed were an infant, then through the enhancement of Mikami Hiroyu's magical power and everything he did, this little infant grew into a 10-year-old child.

While Yu Shen Haoyu's powerful magic is indeed formidable, it is not without its weaknesses. The weakness is that it is too powerful; Yu Shen Haoyu currently has very little control over it. If any internal problems arise, that powerful magic will only have the opposite effect.

This incident fully exposed that the Clow Cards, spoiled by Mikami Hiroyu, have somewhat forgotten their essential duties.

Although the master didn't blame them, and instead comforted the Clow Cards, telling them not to worry, this only made the Clow Cards feel even more ashamed.

Therefore, this was the result of the meeting led by Mirror Brand.

1: From now on, the Clow Cards must prioritize their master's safety. No matter what happens, the master's safety is paramount. If their own lives are the most important, then the master's safety comes second.

2: From now on, the Clow Cards will proactively eliminate any potential safety hazards around their master. Fortunately, the Spellbook can see the outside world, and the Clow Cards can automatically enter and exit the Spellbook. Therefore, whenever the Spellbook senses potential danger to its master, the Clow Cards will actively come to eliminate the safety hazards around them, instead of passively accepting their master's summons and simply playing inside the Spellbook as before.

3: When the master cultivates magic power in the future, someone must protect the master and resolutely eliminate any crisis that may affect the master's cultivation. Even the master's relatives and friends.

4. After the Clow Cards are collected, a Judge will appear. If anyone dares to slack off at that time, they will be attacked and scorned by all the Clow Cards, and will no longer be recognized as a member of the Clow Cards. Regardless of who the owner of the Clow Cards is at that time, all the Clow Cards present can only acknowledge Mikami Hiroyu as their owner.

These four points were collectively discussed by the Clow Cards and represent the best possible solution to the master's safety issue based on the current situation.

Regarding point 4, the Clow Cards know that after the collection is complete, the Judge of Light will determine who the true master of the Clow Cards is. The Clow Cards know that some of the Clow Cards present are under Light's control, and they fear that these cards under Light's control might betray their master and attack him.

So it's best to get a shot in advance as a precaution. Although the Clow Cards that Mikami Hiroyu accepted all had great confidence in his abilities, the final decision rested with the Judge, Yue.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, and to ensure that Hiroyuki Mikami is not the true holder of the Clow Cards chosen by Light, it is now decided that these four Clow Cards must be under Hiroyuki Mikami's ownership. If, at that time, the owner objects to Light's choice and opposes him, these Clow Cards will definitely follow Hiroyuki Mikami.

Anyway, my current magic power is far superior to that Judge Yue's. Would a magic power contest with Yue scare him? I'm really looking forward to it!
