Please, Tomoyo-kun
Chapter 72 Please, Tomoyo-kun
"That Kuro, even after he's dead, he's still such a worry." Wang Changsheng sighed inwardly, his thoughts churning, unable to quite describe his feelings.
Kuroide is involved in too many things.
He didn't just interfere in this one world; claiming to be omniscient and omnipotent, he knew almost everything.
Even he himself has admitted that the feeling of knowing everything is not good and sometimes bothers him.
Therefore, Wang Changsheng still harbored some fear of Kuro's lack of virtue.
It remains to be seen whether the other party will suddenly surprise him.
So far, on the surface, it seems that nothing has happened.
However, Wang Changsheng felt that this did not mean that Kuro had not noticed him. On the contrary, he might have noticed him the moment he, this variable, arrived in this world.
They're keeping quiet now, who knows what they're planning to do next.
Unless the system's existence is even more advanced than Kuro's, it is impossible to shield him from his terrifying precognitive abilities.
"I remember Yuuko Ichihara's evaluation of Clow was something like this."
An image of a captivating woman floated into Wang Changsheng's mind. She smiled faintly, and when someone asked what she thought of Kuro, she would chuckle and say, "He's an annoying guy. As a cunning bespectacled man, it's quite unexpected that he can create something so adorable that it's completely at odds with his personality."
The "cute things" that Yuuko Ichihara is referring to are naturally the magical creatures like Cerberus created by Clow Reed.
"Even Kero's evaluation of Clow is something like he has a terrible personality and is willful, right?" Wang Changsheng's gaze fell on Kero, who was raising his arms and shouting excitedly when he saw Sakura seal the Shadow Card.
Although he himself was the only one who could know the author's evaluation of Kuro from the perspective of the entire work, Wang Changsheng guessed that Kuro, as a magician with infinite precognitive abilities, must know even the evaluations that Xiao Ke had not told him.
"Speaking of which, the reason Kero was assigned to help Sakura search for the Clow Cards isn't because Clow found out that this little thing said bad things about him, is it? That can't be, right?"
Wang Changsheng suddenly thought of a possibility, a possibility that seemed both possible and impossible, but he didn't know whether it was possible or impossible.
Wang Changsheng felt that even if he mastered a lot of magic in the future, he would probably still have a hard time figuring out what Kuro was thinking.
Why are you staring at me like that?
Just as Wang Changsheng was deep in thought, Xiao Ke seemed to notice his blatant and unashamed gaze, and immediately turned her head, staring at Wang Changsheng with her tiny eyes.
Hearing Xiao Ke's somewhat impolite voice, Wang Changsheng snapped out of his reverie and glanced sideways at the yellow mouse.
"What's wrong with staring at you?"
"?" Xiao Ke almost choked on her breath.
Message: Negative points from Cerberus +999
"Try looking at one more!" Little Ke flew up. "You brat!"
"I was looking, couldn't you see? You really are a small-eyed monster!" Wang Changsheng glared at Xiao Ke as well.
! (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸(゜皿゜メ)!
"Hehe, you two are so sweet!"
Wang Changsheng and Xiao Ke were still locked in a head-to-head struggle, neither willing to give in, when suddenly, a huge black camera was thrust right in front of them.
Immediately afterwards, Tomoyo's voice, as soft as a bell, rang out: "Record this scene, and when you look at it again later, you'll definitely be very moved~"
Message: Wang Changsheng's negative points +999
Message: Negative points from Cerberus +999
"Hehe, is that so?" Upon hearing Zhi Shi's words, Wang Changsheng gave an awkward laugh.
Will these current records move you later? Shouldn't they be enough to make you die on the spot?
"Love? Me and him? Hahahaha!" Xiao Ke's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she immediately burst into a silly laugh. "Who would be in love with this idiot?!"
"Who the hell are you calling a baka?" Wang Changsheng looked at Xiao Ke incredulously.
The latter gave a soft snort, then crossed its arms, flapped its little wings, and glanced sideways at Wang Changsheng: "I'm talking about you, I'm talking about you, what can you do to me?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Changsheng narrowed his eyes and suddenly pointed at Xiao Ke: "Rebound!"
"The rebound is ineffective!" Xiao Ke crossed his arms, protecting his chest.
Tomoyo, who was recording the video, watched as Xiao Ke and Wang Changsheng, who were arguing one second and then started bickering the next, steadily held up the camera with one hand, while unconsciously covering her mouth with the other. Her eyes crinkled with laughter as she chuckled, looking quite happy.
If Wang Changsheng could shift his attention away from his confrontation with Xiao Ke and turn around, he would find that Zhi Shi's upper body was laughing hysterically, but the hand holding the camera was steady and composed, without a single tremor.
It was as if the hand holding the camera wasn't hers, but someone else was holding it for her.
There's a kind of beauty in the torso that doesn't care about the life or death of the limbs; the upper body doesn't seem to want to involve the arms at all.
"Hey—! What are you doing? Get down here!"
Suddenly, at that moment, a melodious sound came from below the teaching building, piercing through the void and reaching their ears.

The group looked down and saw that it was Sakura calling to them.
Sakura's voice also brought Wang Changsheng back to his senses from his struggle with Xiao Ke. He took a deep breath and suppressed the keyboard power that was about to burst forth from his heart.
"What's wrong with me? Why am I playing those elementary school games with this brat?"
Bounce?
Realizing what he had said during his argument with Xiao Ke, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but blush.
"I'm begging for help, but I do seem to be a primary school student right now, right? It doesn't seem out of place at all that I'm saying this."
After thinking for two seconds while flying in mid-air, Wang Changsheng decided not to dwell on his increasingly reversed mental age.
Anyway, he didn't have any ulterior motives in arguing with Xiao Ke; he just wanted to have a fight with it.
If things really escalate into an argument, even negative points become secondary factors in the argument itself.
Having been bickering with Xiao Ke lately, Wang Changsheng felt that his thoughts had quietly changed.
At first, she was very focused on getting negative points and rewards, and just wanted to get them. But gradually, she started to enjoy arguing with Xiao Ke.
It has to be said that Xiao Ke's Osaka accent is incredibly captivating. Just chatting with it is always fun, and when it starts arguing, it's even more interesting and entertaining.
Especially seeing it so desperately want to kill him, yet unable to, made Wang Changsheng crave more and couldn't stop.
Through a series of bickering sessions, Wang Changsheng not only grew closer to Xiao Ke, but also quietly closed the gap between himself and Zhi Shi and Xiao Ying.
Wang Changsheng, who had always been used to being alone, had become accustomed to the loneliness of his previous life.
Having just arrived in this world, he was probably still weighing the pros and cons with an adult's mindset.
However, he now finds that his thinking is becoming more youthful under the guidance of Sakura, Kero, and others around him, and he really does consider Kero, Tomoyo, and Sakura as true friends he can confide in.
Although Wang Changsheng didn't say it on the surface, he cherished and was very happy to have a partner like Xiao Ke, who he could bicker with at will.
The change in mindset led Wang Changsheng from initially pursuing rewards to gradually leaning towards a more casual and carefree attitude. Being able to benefit from making friends is a very good thing.
Of course, the rewards should be claimed.
It's just a matter of arguing with Xiao Ke a few more times~
"Now that the Shadow Card has been sealed, let's hurry down and meet up with Sakura." Wang Changsheng turned around and looked at Tomoyo.
"Uh-huh!"
Upon hearing this, Tomoyo nodded and then put down the camera in her hand.
The image captured by her camera was frozen at the moment Sakura picked up the Clow Card.
"Wait a moment, I need to make a phone call."
Tomoyo pulled a flip phone out of her skirt, operated it for a moment, and dialed the number.
It seemed like someone had been waiting on the other end of the phone. Tomoyo had only pressed the dial button, and before the call had even rang for half a second, the other end had already answered.
"I've finished what I was doing here, you can turn off the power now," Tomoyo's sweet voice rang out.
At her command, all the brightly lit buildings around them turned off their lights in an orderly fashion.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Youzhi Elementary School, once a city that never sleeps, returned to silence and darkness.
The window where Tomoyo stood appeared much dimmer because it was no longer illuminated by lamplight.
The slivers of moonlight that fell upon Tomoyo only added to her mystique and tranquility.
When all the lights went out and there was no light left, there seemed to be a sound coming from the other end of the phone in Tomoyo's hand. Then Tomoyo nodded slightly, hung up the phone, and walked to the electrical box next to her. She reached out and slowly pulled down the switch.
"Then, shall we go this way?"
After finishing all this, Zhi Shi turned around and looked at Wang Changsheng and the huge wing behind him, pointing to the stairs a little further away.
"It must have taken you quite a while to get up here. Going down now would be too much trouble," Wang Changsheng shook his head.
The teaching building is neither particularly tall nor particularly short.
The climb was exhausting, though Tomoyo seemed completely unfazed.
But Wang Changsheng can't let her climb the stairs again, can he?
Going downstairs is harder than going upstairs.
Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng said to Zhiyi, "You probably haven't experienced flying yet, have you, Zhiyi-kun?"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Wang Changsheng's words, a glint immediately flashed in Zhishi's eyes.
She nodded, a sweet smile appearing on her lips. "I've never experienced what it's like to fly in the air like this before."
Upon hearing this, Wang Changsheng smiled, flapped his wings, and came to the window.
His white robe made him appear like a god in the moonlight, glowing slightly, or like a holy angel, attracting everyone's attention.
He leaned slightly forward, gracefully extending a hand, and then invited Tomoyo:
"Please, Tomoyo."
