Chapter 43

Don't speak yet, I have two things to say.

"Hey there, Xiao Wang!"

"Are you on duty? Coming here so early?" Sakura greeted Wang Changsheng, who had arrived early. "You just transferred here, are you already assigned to clean the classroom?"

"No, that's not it." Hearing Xiaoying's words, Wang Changsheng gently shook his head. "I'm just excited about being in a new environment, so I couldn't sleep and came here."

If I don't come early, how am I supposed to collect negative points?

At home, Wang Changsheng had also tried it with the maids, housekeeper, driver and others around him.

He could get almost nothing from these people who had no magic.

Not only do you get a few negative points, but you also can't obtain any items or magic.

On the other hand, he can easily gain a lot of negative points by teasing Xiao Ke, and if he's lucky, he'll also get a lot of items and magic.

This one attempt was worth hundreds of times for an ordinary person, so after trying it a few more times, Wang Changsheng stopped focusing on other ordinary people.

"Soga~" Sakura nodded, "Going to bed early and waking up early is good for your health."

Wang Changsheng walked over to the two of them, sat down in the seat behind Xiaoying, put down the backpack he was carrying, and then looked at the two of them.

"I haven't even asked yet, what are you doing?"

Wang Changsheng's gaze fell on the schoolbag between Sakura and Tomoyo.

It was packed full, seemingly containing quite a lot of things.

"Uh, I'm not too sure either." Upon hearing this, Sakura couldn't help but glance back at Tomoyo.

Since Tomoyo rushed over so early saying she had something to show her, and it seemed to be something very important, she wasn't sure if Tomoyo would be willing to let Xiao Wang see what it was.

When Sakura's gaze fell on Tomoyo, the latter not only showed no reluctance, but also nodded with a smile.

Her long, flowing hair cascaded down, and the soft morning light bathed her, making her look like a painting. She was so young, yet already breathtakingly beautiful. Wang Changsheng was stunned, unable to tell whether this was a three-dimensional or two-dimensional world.

"I have something I want to show Sakura, but you've come at the perfect time, it's about you too!" Tomoyo's smile looked very sweet.

"About me?" Wang Changsheng tilted his head, seemingly looking at Zhi Shi with curiosity. However, he already knew what Zhi Shi was going to take out next.

They know exactly what it is, but they just won't say it.

This is the professionalism of a cunning old fox!

We still have a lot of professional ethics, you know.

Wang Changsheng's dark eyes still revealed a hint of "innocence" and "naivety" as he watched Zhi Shi take a large video camera out of her overflowing schoolbag.

Looking at what Tomoyo was holding, Wang Changsheng immediately understood, but Sakura asked with some doubt, "Video? Tomoyo, is this the new camera you told me about yesterday?"

"That's right, it's the new camera that my mom's company just got." Tomoyo nodded her head slightly, then turned on the camera and placed it on Sakura's desk.

"Come sit down, Sakura." Tomoyo pulled Sakura to a seat, then smiled at Wang Changsheng before continuing, "Last night, I originally wanted to see if this newly developed camera could capture the moon clearly, but unexpectedly, I had a very pleasant surprise!"

"Huh? Taking pictures of the moon?"

Upon hearing Tomoyo's words, Sakura felt as if something had struck her on the head. She suddenly felt guilty, and her seemingly spirited, dark green eyes glanced furtively in Wang Changsheng's direction, as if to say—

Will our secret be discovered?

However, the latter seemed completely oblivious to the unspoken message in her eyes, instead curiously peering around as if trying to see what Tomoyo had photographed.

"Sakura, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Wang Changsheng, shameless as ever, not only failed to understand her meaning but also loudly questioned her in front of Tomoyo, making his intentions quite clear—

What's going on between us? What's going on between us?

Sakura:

Message: Sakura Kinomoto's negative points +666

Watching the interaction between the two, Tomoyo chuckled, and a hint of excitement and joy couldn't help but show in her dark purple eyes.

"It was purely by accident that I was able to photograph these precious treasures. I didn't expect it at all. I felt that I had to let Sakura or Changsheng see them."

As she spoke, Tomoyo, with a happy smile on her face, reached out and pressed the play button on the camera.

In that instant, a deep and serene night sky suddenly appeared on the previously pitch-black camera screen.

With a crescent moon and hidden stars, in the deep of night, from this extremely distant view in the image, beside that clear, bright moon in the universe, there seems to be a boy and a girl, riding on a pole that can flap its wings, flying slowly.

The footage didn't last long, only a few seconds, and the last frame was a bit shaky. It was clear that the person recording the video seemed stunned and immediately tried to continue filming, but for some reason, there was no follow-up.

The video ended, the screen went dark, and everything returned to black.

"(°ー°〃)"

With Tomoyo pressing her shoulder, Sakura looked at the camera on the table and seemed to understand something.

Sure enough, her bad feeling was proven true.

I've only just become a Cardcaptor Sakura, and my identity has already been exposed?!

However, the scene was too far away, so it was a bit blurry, and the two figures hanging under the moon were very small. If we really wanted to argue, we could say they were two birds.

Thinking of this, Sakura couldn't help but swallow hard, then gave Tomoyo an embarrassed smile: "What's this, Tomoyo? Did you take a picture of two little birds flying at night? That's really rare!"

Hearing Sakura's explanation, Tomoyo smiled, revealing her pearly teeth, which was quite rare for her.

Her dark purple eyes seemed to hold two hidden stars, so dazzling and bright that Xiaoying felt uncomfortable from head to toe.

Seeing Sakura's attempt to deny it, Tomoyo manipulated the camera, and the screen lit up again. As the screen focused, the figure that was originally as small as a bird gradually grew larger.

"Because it's a newly developed model, it can still record the moon quite clearly," Tomoyo said with a slight smile.

If the moon can be photographed clearly, then people in the sky can also be photographed clearly.

Wang Changsheng stood silently to the side, while Xiaoying became somewhat dazed.

"This is the moon."

"Mmm~"

"I"

"Uh-huh!"

"Little Wang"

Yes, that's right.

"(You really filmed us!)"

"You got it right! Sakura, you're very smart, but there's no reward~"

Watching Sakura and Tomoyo's conversation, and seeing the scene of public execution playing on a loop on the table, Wang Changsheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, but Sakura was clearly different.

She was stunned when she realized she was flying around in the sky, and that she was being filmed flying around, and even flying around with other people. She took a deep breath and set up the table. ┬─┬ノ('-'ノ)

then--

"(/‵Д′)/~╧╧ Smart my foot!!!"

"What? What happened? Sakura, are you alright?!" Suddenly, a small, yellowish creature darted out of Sakura's backpack. As soon as it emerged, it nervously looked around frantically. "Has another Clow Card appeared? Where? Where? I see you! Stop hiding! Come out and fight if you dare!"

However, once the little yellow thing used its tiny eyes on its big head to see the surrounding scenery and people clearly, it froze again.

"Well?"

Looking at Xiao Ke, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but chuckle: "(?????)??? Don't be surprised, your identity has been exposed. Not only you, but my and Xiao Ying's identities as magicians have also been confirmed because of your appearance."

Xiao Ke: "(?ε?`)"

Message: Negative points from Cerberus +555

Although Wang Changsheng was joking, he was actually telling Zhishi their true identities.

After all, as a member of the main characters and possibly the director of this magical world, Tomoyo is bound to have some connection with Sakura.

Since it's impossible to avoid discussing magic with her, it's better to lay everything out in the open and make things clear. With a director involved, the plot should develop more smoothly.

"It's true, it's all true!"

Looking at Xiao Ke flapping its wings and flying in mid-air, and hearing Wang Changsheng's words just now, Zhi Shi became visibly excited. The two stars in her dark purple eyes were like laser eyes or searchlights, flashing in a series of clicks.

Tomoyo's gaze swept over the three people present.

"Sakura, Changsheng, and the little mouse without eyes!"

Tomoyo's lips curled into an irrepressible smile: "(ˊ???????????ˋ) I've really struck gold~~~"

"ヽ(`⌒′メ)ノ What? Why am I called this???"

Xiao Ke was initially a little embarrassed that its true form had been discovered by outsiders right after it woke up, but when it heard Zhi Shi's description, it clenched its fists instantly.

"Alright, Clown Mouse, you don't have eyes anyway, and you look like a little mouse, so you can't blame people for giving you the wrong nickname~" Wang Changsheng gently advised.

"I'm ugly? You're the ugly one!!!" Xiao Ke shouted, pointing at Wang Changsheng, a kid whose appearance was one of the best she had ever seen in her life.

Upon hearing Xiao Ke's words, Wang Changsheng immediately raised a finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture: "Shh, don't speak yet, I have two things to say."

"First, let's break off our friendship."

"Secondly, I'm not good-looking, but you're not much better looking. Say what you should say, and don't say what you shouldn't. Think it over carefully before you speak, OK?"

"???"

Wang Changsheng's words rang in the ears of Xiao Ke and Xiao Ying, leaving them both bewildered.

Xiao Ke looked at Wang Changsheng with a look of disgust.

What's wrong with this guy now?

Message: Your friendly interaction left Sakura bewildered, Kero speechless, and Tomoyo quite intrigued.

"Huh? There are no negative points for Tomoyo?" Wang Changsheng was taken aback when he saw the system's notification.

He had originally thought that Tomoyo would have some negative emotions after hearing his crazy words, but it turned out that she just found it novel.

Turning his head, Wang Changsheng focused his gaze on Zhi Shi.

The other person's eyes were shining, and they were staring at him with a grin, as if they were looking at some kind of treasure.

"Huh???" To be honest, Wang Changsheng was somewhat startled by Tomoyo.

Even a psychopath like him was terrified by the other person's gaze.

"Swish"

Just as the group was looking at each other in bewilderment, the classroom door was suddenly opened from the outside again.

Xiao Ke's body stiffened instantly, and then she slowly floated down from the air.

Tomoyo was facing the door, so she naturally turned to the side to block Koko's figure.

Wang Changsheng was quick-witted and grabbed it, then stuffed it back into Xiaoying's schoolbag. Only Xiaoying was startled by the sudden sound of the door opening and stood there, unsure of what to do.

Will the person who comes see Xiao Ke?

What should she say?

Should I lie?

But lying is wrong, isn't it?

"Good morning, Kinomoto-san, you're all here! And the new student, Chōsei-san, why are you all here so early today?" Just as Sakura was feeling extremely conflicted, Yamazaki, who was standing at the door, squinted and smiled as he spoke.

"Good morning." Tomoyo returned the smile and nodded slightly, showing no sign of nervousness whatsoever.

Wang Changsheng reacted quickly. After putting Xiao Ke back, he picked up the camera on Xiao Ying's desk, turned off the screen, and handed it to Zhiyi.

"Ah, Sakura seems to be on duty. I'm here on my second day, so I thought I'd arrive early." Wang Changsheng calmly responded to Yamazaki's question, and then even changed the subject, "By the way, you're Yamazaki-kun, right? I saw your name on the duty roster on the blackboard yesterday. You're not on duty today, so why are you here so early?"

"Oh~ I thought Chiharu probably wouldn't have time for breakfast today, so I brought some breakfast with me, thinking I'd come over to give it to her earlier." Hearing Wang Changsheng's words, Yamazaki raised the snacks in his hand and then said with a smile.

"Huh? Chiharu doesn't have time to eat today? Why is that?" Sakura, upon hearing this, snapped out of her reverie and looked at Yamazaki to ask.

Seeing that the topic had been diverted, Wang Changsheng and Zhishi exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of amusement in each other's eyes. Then, they sat down and watched as Sakura started cleaning while chatting with Yamazaki.

"Actually, there's a lot to say about breakfast! It's said that in ancient times, people had to make eighty-eight different kinds of buns every morning. Only after eating all of these buns could they do anything else!"

As Yamazaki spoke, the style of his writing began to shift in a strange direction.

Wang Changsheng, who had just placed his textbooks and pencil case on the table, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard Yamazaki's words.

"Eighty-eight steamed buns? You want to make them and eat them all? That would take a whole day!" Wang Changsheng shook his head with a chuckle. "You really are a master conman; not a word of truth comes out of your mouth."

Although Wang Changsheng knew immediately that Yamazaki was lying, Sakura, who was sweeping the floor, looked up in surprise after hearing Yamazaki's words.

Did people in ancient times eat such a lavish breakfast every morning?

"Well, as expected of the naive and innocent Sakura, she actually believed this~"
