Fantasy in the world of crossover anime

Sakura blinked, looking confused. Then Tomoyo took a video camera out of her bag and placed it on her desk.

"A video recorder?" Sakura asked from her seat.

"I filmed something really interesting last night," Tomoyo said, and then pressed play.

Yu Shen Haoyu saw Sakura flying in the air in the picture, with the moon in the background and Kero beside her.

Upon seeing this, Mikami Hiroyu became even more certain that Sakura was a Cardcaptor Sakura. As for what the four elemental Clow Cards were, Mikami Hiroyu guessed they might be Wind or Earth, since he already had the other two elemental cards. Sakura was flying in the air on the screen, so it seemed to be the Fly card. Mikami Hiroyu thought to himself.

Sakura herself was completely bewildered, only managing a curt "Huh?" to express her feelings at the time.

The recording ended quickly, but it brought Sakura quite a few surprises! Haoyu, sitting behind Sakura, looked at his turn and asked, "Sakura, is that you in there? How did you get flying in the air?"

Please forgive Hiroyu Mikami! It's just that Sakura's expression is just too adorable right now. Sakura broke out in a cold sweat from the moment the videotape started playing. And when Hiroyu Mikami asked her question, the cold sweat on her forehead increased even more.

"What is this? I don't know!! Hehe" Sakura was making a last-ditch effort.

Tomoyo promptly added insult to injury, "This is a magnified view." Sakura's appearance was now fully visible to the three of them. Sakura couldn't refute, only managing a loud "Eh!!!" Well, Sakura was sweating profusely.

Just then, Kero flew out of Sakura's schoolbag. "Sakura, what's wrong? Did the Clow Cards appear? Where are they? If you're so tough, have a duel with me! Oops!" Kero realized something was wrong after saying that.

Looking at the little beast Kero flying in the air, Mikami Hiroyu thought, "This is the Sealed Beast Kero? Is this what Keroberos is like?"

Tomoyo seemed to have discovered something. She looked at Kero flying in the air, then at the doll next to Sakura in the video camera, and compared the two. Our Tomoyo seemed to have discovered something. "Wow! They're exactly the same!" The three people and one beast present were speechless.

During lunch break, under a large tree in the school's woods, Hiroyuki Mikami and Tomoyo watched Kero deliberately acting cute. "Why did you come here?" Sakura asked.

Ke was trying to come up with an excuse for him to go out and play: "Because I want to see the daily life of Cardcaptor Sakura first."

Sakura sighed helplessly. Tomoyo, who was standing to the side, asked curiously, "If it's convenient, could you introduce yourself?" Mikami Hiroyu continued to perform his acting skills, nodding with great curiosity.

Seeing that she couldn't avoid it any longer, Sakura introduced him to the two people sitting there, saying, "He said his name is Cerberus."

"My name doesn't seem quite the same as this Rubelos," Mikami Hiroyu asked, voicing what Tomoyo wanted to say. Tomoyo nodded and looked at Sakura.

"It would be more appropriate to call her Keroberos," Sakura explained.

Tomoyo clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Yes!"

Cerberus, standing to the side, disagreed and retorted, "Don't call me a frog! I'm Cerberus, the sealing beast guarding the Clow Cards!"

Yu Shen Haoyu was starting to doubt whether this Cerberus was genuine. If it weren't for the solar-attribute Clow Magic emanating from it, Yu Shen Haoyu would have thought it was a fake. Cerberus, if you do this, Clow Reed will cry.

"Clow Cards?" This time it was Hiroyu Mikami who asked the question, and Tomoyo looked at Kero with a curious gaze.

Students were playing on the playground. Meanwhile, Kero-Belos, also known as Keroberos, stopped explaining the Clow Cards. He concluded with, "So, Sakura became the Cardcaptor Sakura." Just as Keroberos finished explaining, Sakura had almost finished her bento. Mikami Hiroyu handed Keroberos a drink after his long explanation. Keroberos took it, said thank you, and drank it in large gulps.

As for Tomoyo forgiving her, she was still immersed in the Clow Cards that Kero had mentioned. Soon, Tomoyo woke up. "Fantastic! Preventing the Clow Card disaster and protecting the local area! A Cardcaptor Sakura!" "So cool!" Looking at the starlight in Tomoyo's eyes, even Mikami Hiroyu himself wondered if his Clow Cards were particularly powerful.

Hearing this, Sakura had to interrupt Tomoyo, whose eyes were sparkling, "I can't do something this important."

Tomoyo quickly grasped Sakura's hands. "No, Sakura, you can do it, right, Hiroyu-kun?"

"Why are you asking me? But Sakura, you'll definitely be fine, you can definitely be a good Cardcaptor Sakura," Mikami Hiroyu encouraged. Just now, Mikami Hiroyu sensed the presence of the Clow Cards and was planning to come and check on them tonight. He said this after hearing Tomoyo's words.

"And if it's convenient, could I see how you cast magic?" Tomoyo made this request before she even got an answer from Sakura.

"Yay, yay, let's give it a try!" Xiao Ke cheered from the side.

"But"

"It's alright. Is anyone else around? Let them see."

Seeing Tomoyo's sparkling eyes and knowing that Hiroyu also wanted to know, Sakura thought for a moment and agreed.

Sakura took a few steps, exclaimed "Hey!" and then took out her wand. She then uttered the incantation, "Key containing the power of darkness!" As soon as she said this, the small wand flew from her hand into the air, and a magic circle of Clow Cards appeared beneath her feet. "Show your true divine power! According to the contract, Sakura commands you to break the seal!" Then, the wand in her hand grew larger.

Mikami Hiroyu felt that Sakura's magic power was still very weak. She could probably only use one card at a time, which was probably all her current power, and that was based on the remaining magic power of the Clow Cards themselves.

While observing Sakura using magic, Mikami Hiroyu made his assessment. Tomoyo then asked, "Is this how you use magic with this staff?"

"Yes, but you need a card first."

Kero continued to betray its teammates, taking a Clow Card from Sakura's bag and saying, "This one?"

Sakura sighed, "When did you bring this?"

While Tomoyo was still asking Sakura if there was a fixed posture for using the Clow Cards, Mikami Hiroyu glanced at the Clow Cards in Kero's hand and knew that Sakura now possessed the Sho and Fuu Clow Cards. Besides, having just sensed the existence of Clow Cards at school, Mikami Hiroyu decided to come and collect them tonight. He wondered what kind of Clow Cards they were!

Chapter Five: First Battle

Night quietly fell, and Yuuji Hiroyu hung up the phone to call home. He had just been reporting to his family that the Clow Cards had appeared, and if he didn't report it, his family would find out soon. In that case, he figured it was better to report it himself.

Although he told his family about the Clow Cards, Mikami Hiroyu concealed the fact that he already possessed four. After all, the Clow Cards were related to the safety of this world, and only by collecting all the Clow Cards could Mikami Hiroyu obtain information on how to solve the problem of the world's safety.

Upon learning of the disappearance of the Clow Cards, Kosuke Mikami on the other end of the phone was overjoyed, a joy so obvious even to unsuspecting outsiders. This was understandable; after all, Hiroyu Mikami had tricked his older brother before leaving. Now, he couldn't even stay at home anymore; the mere sound of Meiling Mikami's voice sent Kosuke Mikami scurrying away.

Now that he's heard such a legitimate reason to leave home, how could he not be happy?

"Auntie, is my cousin home?" Mikami Meiling's voice came from outside the door, instantly snapping Mikami Syaoran out of his reverie while he was dreaming of going to Japan to collect the Clow Cards. He then skillfully slipped out the window. Although Mikami Syaoran lived on the second floor, being a Taoist disciple, this wasn't a problem for him.

"Oh, it's Mei Ling. Little Wolf is home. You can go up by yourself," Little Wolf's mother replied.

"Damn it, he got away again. Haoyu, why don't you contact me?" Yu Shen Meiling complained, looking at the open window.

Meanwhile, far away in Japan, Mikami Hiroyu was unaware that his fiancée, Mikami Meiling, was talking about him. He had just said goodbye to his butler and was heading to school with his only four Clow Cards.

During the day, Hiroyuki Mikami sensed the presence of the Clow Cards at the school, but Sakura and Kero, who were explaining the Clow Cards and performing for Tomoyo, did not notice.

Although Sakura's magical power is still very low, and Kero, as a sealed beast, hasn't noticed due to the loss of his magical power, they are worried about unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, that very night, Mikami Hiroyu went to the school with his Clow Cards and equipment.

Unlike the bustling daytime, Yuzhi Elementary School was eerily quiet at night, a silence that was almost unsettling. Mikami Hiroyu arrived at the place where he had sensed the presence of the Clow Cards during the day.

He discovered a faint trace of magic still lingering on it. Yu Shen Haoyu became even more certain that Clow Cards had appeared here, and that his intuition was correct.

With his current abilities, Yu Shen Hao Yu cannot know the exact location of the Clow Cards, but he is also a descendant of Clow Reed, and thus possesses some of the treasures left behind by Clow Reed.

The compass that Mikami Hiroyu currently holds is one of the few treasures left behind by Clow Reed, a member of the Mikami family. This compass is specifically used to find Clow Cards, and as for how to use it, Mikami Hiroyu says it's not a problem at all.

You have to understand how much effort it took for Yu Shen Haoyu to first learn of this item. He resorted to all sorts of tricks, from feigning ignorance to acting cute, and finally managed to obtain it with great difficulty.

Yu Shen Haoyu held the compass in one hand and made a Taoist salute with the other. Then he recited the incantation in mid-air.

"By imperial decree, the divine inkstone is in all four directions, representing metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, and wind. Lightning and lightning are hereby commanded. Lightly grind the inkstone, and the lightning flashes. So be it!" As soon as the incantation was finished, the compass in Yu Shen Haoyu's hand gave a prompt.

Mikami Hiroyu walked to the location indicated by the compass and found only a shadow. Based on the Mikami family's records of the Clow Cards, Mikami Hiroyu roughly knew what card it was.

"Is that the shadow beneath the statue? Let's test your power first," Yu Shen Haoyu said with a smile, taking out a fire token and pointing it at the shadow on the small side of the statue.

Mikami Hiroyu chanted "THEFIREY" in the air, and the Clow Card in his hand activated. The Clow Card in Mikami Hiroyu's hand lit up, and then the Fire Card spirit appeared in the air.

"Fire, play with it! Don't go too far, and don't start a fire." Yu Shen Haoyu pointed to the shadow that was about to escape from under the statue.

Upon hearing the order, Huopai glanced at Ying and nodded. Huopai quickly caught up with Ying, who was trying to escape, and blocked all possible escape routes with fire, leaving only one passage.

In the firelight, the shadow's escape route was gradually compressed, leaving only a vast, empty space. The shadow knew its opponent was the Fire Card, capable of creating light. This allowed it to effectively suppress itself, and the path the Fire Card had left was undoubtedly a place devoid of any buildings, where it would be completely suppressed. Was the Fire Card really that clever? Having been with it in the Book of Seals for so long, wasn't the Fire Card simply someone who knew how to use its fire abilities? How could it have developed a brain? This isn't scientifically sound, Clow Reed.

In fact, those Fire Cards that have used Mikami Hiroyu's magic have experienced a comprehensive boost in intelligence and strength. Although Mikami Hiroyu isn't yet the true master of the Clow Cards, as mentioned before, only after collecting all the Clow Cards and transforming them into Hiroyu Cards will the Fire Cards' improvement be enormous. After all, Mikami Hiroyu's magic was given to him by this world; it would be strange if his magic didn't have some special circumstances.

But these shadows don't know this now. When they do, they realize they were a bit foolish. Why did the shadow say it was foolish? Because it was trying to use its shadow to break through the fire's encirclement. But the shadow quickly realized it was doing something futile; its shadow clones vanished rapidly, leaving only its original form.

Seeing the shadow appear in its true form, Yu Shen Hao Yu ordered Huo Pai to stop. Upon receiving the command, Huo Pai withdrew its magic power back into its body. Then, like a child, it flew to Yu Shen Hao Yu and lowered its head. Yu Shen Hao Yu knew it wanted him to pat its head. Like a child wanting a reward, Yu Shen Hao Yu was somewhat helpless about this, so he touched Huo Pai's head. Strangely enough, Yu Shen Hao Yu's hand didn't feel hot when he touched Huo Pai's head; on the contrary, it felt quite warm.

The last time he touched the Fire card, he hadn't paid attention because he was trying to appease the two sulking Water and Fire cards. Now that he thought about it, he realized he was quite daring. After touching the Fire card's head, Yu Shenhaoyu realized that he didn't have the sealing key, so how could he turn the Clow Cards into playing cards?

After thinking for a long time, and with a try-it-and-see attitude, he chanted to the shadow, "Restore your original form! Clow Card!" At that moment, Mikami Hiroyu sensed the power of the world. Because Mikami Hiroyu didn't have the Sealing Key, he couldn't use proper methods to turn the revealed Clow Cards back into playing cards. A spell alone couldn't restore the Clow Cards to their original form, but what could he do? He was the child of the world! If the world didn't help him, who would it help?

And so, the shadow slowly transformed into a playing card, which then flew into Mikami Hiroyu's hand. Mikami Hiroyu looked at the Shadow Card in his hand. He knew the power of the Shadow Card; it possessed the magic to control one's own and others' shadows. If used properly, it was no weaker than the four elements. After writing his name on the Shadow Card, Mikami Hiroyu felt his magical power increase slightly. The Fire Card, still in its original form, understood this very well, as it clearly sensed that Mikami Hiroyu's power seemed to have increased considerably after writing his name on the Clow Card.

Just as Mikami Hiroyu sensed the connection between himself and the Shadow Cards, he turned around to see the Fire Cards looking at him. Mikami Hiroyu smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's just that every time I collect a Clow Card, my magical power increases, and your power also increases along with my magical power. So, I'll be relying on you all a lot more in the future."

The Fire Card nodded upon hearing this, and its expression changed beyond its standard form—it became more human-like. Overall, it was a positive change.

"Fire Card, come back! You've worked hard this time," said Mikami Hiroyu, placing the Shadow Card in his hand.

The Fire Card nodded and transformed into a card, flying into Mikami Hiroyu's hand. Mikami Hiroyu held all the Clow Cards he had brought in his hand, and he noticed something different about this haul compared to the ones he had acquired before.

With each Clow Card collected, his power increases by one point, and the Clow Cards he possesses also grow stronger. Furthermore, Mikami Hiroyu discovers that even without the Sealing Key, he can still turn the Clow Cards back into playing cards after they've been reverted to their original forms. Of course, this requires the help of the world's consciousness.

Yu Shen Haoyu knew that the world's consciousness couldn't intervene too many times; it would probably be at its limit after three interventions. Until then, Yu Shen Haoyu could only hope that there was a solution within his own home. Otherwise, things would deviate significantly from his plan.

The next morning, Hiroyuki Mikami arrived at the classroom early as usual. However, he was surprised to find that he wasn't the first one there. Ever since his homeroom teacher, Yoshiyuki Terada, spoke to him, he had always been the first to arrive. Now, he discovered that not only one person was there before him, but two others, plus a self-proclaimed Clow Card sealing beast, Kero-chan, which astonished him.

"Good morning, Haoyu!" Sakura and Tomoyo said at the same time, truly good friends.

"Good morning, Sakura and Tomoyo! Why are you here so early this morning? I'm quite surprised! You know, I'm always the first one to arrive in Class 4-2!" Mikami Hiroyu asked the question he wanted to ask after closing the classroom door behind him.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just..." Tomoyo was about to answer when Sakura interrupted her. As for Kero, it seemed to be thinking about something.

"What is it? Is there something Sakura can't tell me?" Mikami Hiroyu used his smiling killer move, and well, Sakura couldn't resist.

"So who is Tomoyo? What makes you all come so early?"

"Take a look at this and you'll see," Tomoyo said mysteriously, pulling out a box.

After opening the box, Yu Shen Haoyu exclaimed in surprise, "This is really good!"

Chapter Six: The Whereabouts of the Judge Moon

"Chiyo-chan, did you make this? It's really good!" Mikami Hiroyu praised as he looked at the clothes in the box.

"Really? I made it to Sakura's size. Sakura, how about you wear it when you use magic?"

"Um, Tomoyo-chan, this outfit..."

"Sakura-chan, what's wrong with this outfit? It looks so cool! I really want to see Sakura-chan wearing this outfit and using magic. It must be so cool and cute!" Tomoyo said before entering her own fantasy world.

Sakura, seeing that Tomoyo couldn't be interrupted, inexplicably imagined herself wearing magical girl clothes when using the Clow Cards in the future.

Looking at the clothes Tomoyo had made, Mikami Hiroyu couldn't help but wonder what would happen if Tomoyo knew he was also a Cardcaptor Sakura. Would she make him such an incredibly embarrassing outfit too?!

"Tomoyo, why are you so eager? You even made me clothes. I don't need them," Sakura wanted to protest a little more.

"This is my hobby. Don't you think magical girls are cool? Haoyu, do you think so too?"

"Mmm, mmm," Mikami Hiroyu could only nod repeatedly under Tomoyo's powerful aura, secretly thinking that if he couldn't let them know, he would try his best not to let them know.

"Sakura-chan, what happened to Kero?" Mikami Hiroyu tried to change the subject.

"Xiao Ke? What's wrong with Xiao Ke?"

"See for yourself," Yu Shenhaoyu said, pointing to Xiao Ke, who was still deep in thought.

Sakura turned around and sure enough, she saw Kero contemplating life there. She walked over, picked Kero up, and asked, "Kero, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

"Sakura, didn't you sense a strong Clow Card aura in the school? And because I'm a Solar type, I'm very aware of the Fire Card aura. There's not only the Fire Card aura here, but also the aura of other Clow Cards," Kero said, arms crossed.

"Really? There really is one," Sakura said, closing her eyes.

Yu Shen Haoyu thought to himself with relief, "Luckily I acted quickly, otherwise I would have been too embarrassed to compete with Sakura for the Clow Cards. But I couldn't just not try. But that Kero really has a keen sense of things, even though he stood on the Fire Card."

"Kero, you say it," Sakura was about to speak when the classroom door opened. The student on duty for the day arrived. Seeing it was Mihara Chiharu, Mikami Hiroyu greeted her, "Mihara Chiharu, is it your turn to be on duty today? You're here early. Didn't Yamazaki Takashi come with you?"

"Yes, Haoyu, you're absolutely right. It's my turn to be on duty today, but you, Sakura, and Tomoyo all arrived very early! As for Yamazaki Takashi, he's still behind," Mihara Chiharu replied.

"Good morning, Chiharu Mihara," Sakura said in unison with Tomoyo.

"Good morning, Sakura and Tomoyo," Mihara Chiharu greeted them before going to do his duty as a student on duty.

As for the topic of Clow Cards, we had to put it aside because someone had come.

Our homeroom teacher, Yoshiyuki Terada, brought us some good news during class: this Friday, the school arranged for us to visit various public facilities in different groups, and our class was assigned to the aquarium.

Sakura's excited expression at the prospect of going to the aquarium was known to the whole class. After observing and learning for a while, Hiroyuki noticed that his deskmate, Kinomoto Sakura, really enjoyed the sports meet and field trip. Meanwhile, Hiroyuki discovered that Tomoyo, who sat next to Sakura, liked taking pictures of her.

On Friday, the fourth-grade students visited the aquarium. As soon as they arrived, Sakura rushed to each exhibit to look at the various fish. Behind her, Tomoyo, with a beaming smile, was recording Sakura's adorable antics with the fish. Hiroyuki Mikami, upon seeing this, exclaimed that he was completely charmed.

Just then, our classmate told us that the penguin show had started. Upon hearing this, all the other students went over, and Yu Shenhaoyu smiled helplessly.

Sakura, who had run to the side, noticed that Yuuji Hiroyu wasn't there. She turned around and saw him sitting in a chair, not intending to watch. "Hiroyu, the penguin show has started. Aren't you going to watch? It's really interesting."

"Sakura, you go ahead, I'll be there in a bit. If you don't go soon, the performance will start," Mikami Hiroyu replied.

"Then come over in a bit, I'm going now," Sakura said and immediately disappeared.

This was the first time Yu Shen Haoyu had seen Sakura in this state, and he laughed, "This is quite a rare sight."

This is an aquarium; I guess the aquarium owner really likes it here. I'd love to let him out and play, but Sakura's here, and it wouldn't be good if he got caught.

As for why Yu Shenhao didn't go to see the penguin show, it was simply because he needed to use the restroom. So he made up a lame excuse and didn't go.

When Hiroyuki Mikami arrived at the penguin show area, he found that the show was almost over. Sakura caught him as soon as he arrived, saying, "Hiroyuki, didn't you say you'd be here soon? The best parts are over now. If you want to see more, you'll have to watch Tomoyo's recording!"

"It's okay, I'll just watch the recording," Mikami Hiroyu said nonchalantly.
