Chapter 40
What are you talking about!
The next day.
In the early morning.
A beam of light pierced through the chilly mist, casting a warm glow upon the world.
At this time, some people have already gotten up and are ready to start a new day, while others are still lying in bed, unwilling to get up no matter what.
"Sakura-chan~"
"Wake up, Sakura!"
"Sakura!!!"
In Sakura's room in a small villa.
Kero leaned close to Sakura's ear and shouted loudly, trying to wake the cute-looking girl who was sleeping like a log.
"You guys said I sleep like a wild boar, huh!" Kero muttered a few words, then started tugging at Sakura again. "Wake up, Sakura!"
"miamiamia~ No way~ I'm already full, I can't eat anymore~"
After being pushed twice by Keroberos, Sakura couldn't help but slap the strange thing that was making noise away.
"ah--!"
Xiao Ke was pushed aside by Sakura, making her so angry that her teeth were itching.
"How dare you!!!"
Kero rushed to Sakura's ear and shouted.
"Wang Changsheng said he'd use magic to turn you into a lazy, good-for-nothing wild boar! Get up now, Xiaoying!"
"Huh? What? A wild boar?" Sakura, still half asleep, was stunned by Kero's roar. "I don't remember anyone in my family speaking Osaka dialect."
Completely awakened, Sakura rubbed her eyes and then propped herself up to sit up in bed.
Her chubby little face looked incredibly cute and soft. When the sunlight shone on it, you couldn't help but want to pinch her delicate little cheeks to see if they would release any moisture.
Those dark green eyes still held a hint of confusion, clearly indicating that they had just woken up and were still dazed.
As soon as she sat up, Sakura, with her somewhat messy hair, looked at the television in the corner of the room.
"Huh? The TV isn't on? Then who's talking?"
In a daze, Sakura turned her head and suddenly noticed a yellow doll that looked like a mouse staring at her angrily, with a strange light flashing in its small, dead fish eyes.
"Ohhhh——!~~~"
Sakura was startled by the guy who suddenly pressed his face so close to hers; even the ahoge (cowlick) on her head twitched and stood up.
"Ouch!" Sakura slapped Kero's big face, sending him spinning five or six times in mid-air before finally stopping.
"Damn it!" Xiao Ke finally managed to steady herself, and couldn't help but twitch her lips before secretly cursing someone.
"If it weren't for that brat who likes to slap people, Sakura wouldn't have been led astray! That brat must have set a bad example for Sakura yesterday!"
"What kind of magic is that? Even a simple slap carries a terrifying magical aura; you can't dodge it!"
Xiao Ke couldn't help but recall the punches and kicks Wang Changsheng had given Fei Pai last night—or perhaps slaps and trips.
But no matter what, I think that if Wang Changsheng had slapped or kicked me, even if I could fly, I probably wouldn't have been able to dodge his attack.
Just like flying cards.
Even though the flying card could attack, it was still knocked down by Wang Changsheng, wasn't it?
Moreover, it had never seen the Eight Gates Star-Fixing Technique before, and it had never even heard of the family that Wang Changsheng mentioned.
"Are there any magical families with the surname Wang? And that magic book, is it really passed down from their Wang family?"
Xiao Ke felt quite wary of Wang Changsheng. Although he seemed to support Xiao Ying, it couldn't help but be somewhat prejudiced against him.
"Ah, you're that one!"
Just then, Sakura, who was still a little dazed, came to her senses. Looking at Kero's familiar face, she immediately recalled everything that had happened yesterday.
"Yes, that's me!" Seeing Sakura finally awake, Kero breathed a sigh of relief. It had been a little worried that Sakura would still deny being the Cardcaptor Sakura after waking up, but it seemed that now...
"You're the despicable sealing beast who, despite shouldering a heavy responsibility, neglected your duties and remained unconscious for thirty years while guarding the extremely important Clow Cards. As a result, the Clow Cards were lost, and you even insisted on dragging me along on this dangerous journey to capture them!"
Xiao Ke:
How many more times do we have to bring this up?!
You just need to be clear-headed, but you don't need to be that clear-headed. You have to repeat yourself!
This is outrageous! It's all that brat's fault; he's corrupted our Cardcaptor Sakura!
Why can't I see him? He's still haunting me like this!

"Huh?"
At a certain manor, Wang Changsheng, who was having breakfast, raised an eyebrow when he saw the sudden system notification.
"What's wrong now? What's wrong with Xiao Ke so early in the morning?"
After finishing the last sip of sweet shrimp soup, Wang Changsheng took a tissue from the maid beside him and wiped his mouth.
"Today is the second day of the new semester. Has Tomoyo already witnessed what happened yesterday?"
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
Wang Changsheng placed the used tissue on the plate held by the maid beside him and fell into deep thought.
Yesterday, when he was sitting on his magic wand, holding Sakura, he vaguely felt like he was being watched.
He felt that Tomoyo had recorded this scene. One of the reasons he got up so early today was to get to school as soon as possible and see what was going on with Tomoyo and Sakura.
"I remember everything. I was coerced by you into becoming the Cardcaptor Sakura."
At Sakura's house, Sakura sat on the bed, her bright eyes glaring fiercely at Kero.
"Eh? What are you saying?" Upon hearing this, Keroberos flapped her little wings and went to the window, then pulled the curtains open.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, bathing the room in warmth.
"What do you mean by coercion? That sounds awful!" Kero basked in the sun, then stretched and said to Sakura, "The weather's really nice today, perfect for school. Aren't you going to get up? Cardcaptor Sakura can't be late!"
"I haven't agreed to become a Cardcaptor Sakura yet!" Sakura pouted angrily after hearing Kero's words, then got off the bed, went to her desk, and tidied her slightly messy hair in front of the mirror.
"You can't be it? If you can't be it, who can be it?" Xiao Ke shook her head as if she had heard some kind of international joke. With a wave of her hand, she made the magic book lying in the drawer fly out and float in front of the two of them.
The magic book slowly opened, and in the middle was a playing card with a large bird printed on it.
Kero took the card from the spellbook and placed it in front of Sakura, praising her loudly, "To capture such a dangerous Clow Card so easily, Sakura, you are clearly the chosen magician destined to stop the darkness from spreading across the land!"
"According to you, I think Xiao Wang should be the Cardcaptor Sakura."
Upon hearing Keroberos's words, Sakura not only disagreed but also snorted.
"If it weren't for Xiao Wang, how could I have subdued this card so easily? It was Xiao Wang who defeated it, which allowed me to seal it directly. Otherwise, if I had done it myself, who knows what kind of trouble would have occurred!"
