Chapter 79 Is this meeting the parents? (5.4K high-read chapter)

"Thank you……"

In the penguin exhibit, after the somewhat dark-skinned man tore apart the water sign that had turned into a vortex, the relieved trainer thanked him.

"You're welcome."

The man with a somewhat stern face shook his head and carried the penguin ashore.

"Huh?"

However, when Sakura snapped out of her panic and saw the man clearly, she was stunned.

"Onii-chan?"

No wonder she felt like she recognized the man when he rushed over. Before she could see him clearly, he had already plunged into the water.

Now that he has shown his face, Sakura can finally see what the person looks like.

"Why is my brother here?" Sakura asked, looking at the people in the exhibition hall.

"They're probably here to work." Wang Changsheng stood next to Sakura and glanced at Touya.

This guy always has a cold expression on his face when dealing with outsiders, giving off a feeling of keeping people at arm's length.

However, he remembered how arrogant and siscon this guy was in the anime.

"Maybe." Sakura scratched her head lightly. "I was in a bit of a rush this morning, so I didn't check the family schedule. But isn't today school day? Why is my brother working here?"

Sakura still didn't quite understand.

By this time, someone had already reported the incident to the aquarium staff; such a thing had actually happened at the penguin exhibit.

This has already caused panic among the tourists who came to visit.

This tragic incident has made all staff members afraid to go into the water, and even the various creatures that were performing in the water have been taken to the breeding area.

Not only the penguin exhibit, but also several other exhibits located near the penguin exhibit, were closed urgently.

The trainer, who had been trapped by the water sign, calmed down the penguins under his care, fed them some food, and then left with Touya's help.

As for the frightened penguins, they were all moved to other places and temporarily settled.

This matter quickly reached the ears of Wang Changsheng's homeroom teacher, who gathered all the teachers and students together to ask for their opinions.

We'll see whether we want to continue our visit here, go home for the day, or visit another place later.

However, many students had come to watch the penguin show, but this dangerous incident made many female students lose their desire to continue watching, so they suggested that they go home to rest.

Wang Changsheng naturally agreed to go home and rest.

How wonderful to get another day off for free!

Furthermore, Wang Changsheng needed to have a proper talk with Xiaoying about the water sign. Under Wang Changsheng's prompting, Zhishi, Xiaoying, and the others all expressed their willingness to go home and rest.

Some of the boys hadn't had enough fun and didn't really want to go home. They told the teacher they wanted to visit another place, or that staying here was fine too.

However, the minority should obey the majority, and the school's funds are not enough for them to squander money in the next place. After such an incident, it would be better to send the children back to their homes and let them calm down.

To avoid the school having to take responsibility if something goes wrong, that would be a huge problem.

Ultimately, the homeroom teacher decided to send all the students home, which was exactly what Wang Changsheng wanted.

"Let's go to your house, Sakura, and talk to Kero about this."

The homeroom teacher originally intended for the school bus to take everyone back together.

However, delivering them one by one would be too slow, so Tomoyo simply called her driver.

After explaining the situation to the teacher, she left the main group with Wang Changsheng and Xiaoying.

When they arrived at Sakura's house, Keroberos was surprised for a moment. Why did they suddenly come back? Could it be that something else had happened?

Then Sakura gave it a long explanation.

But after Sakura finished speaking, Kero suddenly stopped eating the cookie, and then looked up at Sakura with a surprised expression.

"You're saying you almost drowned?"

"Huh? What? I'm drowning?"

Hearing Xiao Ke's words, Xiao Ying was also stunned, but she quickly realized what was going on, then waved her hand and glared at Xiao Ke with some dissatisfaction.

"What do you mean I'm drowning? It's that cute little penguin and that big sister who are drowning."

Sakura looked at Kero's expression, which showed he only cared about eating, and said with a look of exasperation, "Are you even listening to me?"

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to make something delicious for Xiao Wang and Zhi Shi."

Seeing that Xiao Ke was relieved and started eating again after realizing that she was alright, Xiao Ying stood up helplessly and walked downstairs.

"You're going to make something to eat? What are you going to make?" Kero immediately perked up when he heard that Sakura was going to make something to eat.

"It's none of your business what I cook," Sakura said as she walked downstairs.

Despite being scolded by Sakura, Kero seemed very interested. It flapped its wings and flew down with Sakura.

Wang Changsheng and Zhishi exchanged a glance and followed suit.

Sakura bought some pancake sauce; she planned to make some herself.

Anyway, it's early now, so she doesn't need to worry about dinner.

"Sakura-chan, I'm so sorry~"

When Wang Changsheng came downstairs, he saw Xiao Ke begging and wagging her tail at Xiao Ying, saying, "If you make this pancake, please share some with me, thank you!"

Seeing Xiao Ke's persistent and pleading attitude, Xiao Ying waved her little hand, signaling it to go to the side and not get involved in her affairs.

"Hehe~ I knew my chosen mage was the best!" Seeing Sakura's expression, Kero knew he was in for a treat, and he got a little carried away with his joy.

"So the penguin drowned..." Xiao Ke was stunned. "Penguins can drown?"

"That might be a Clow Card," Wang Changsheng said at the opportune moment.

"Whoosh!" Upon hearing this, Keroberos nodded knowingly. "I knew it! How could Sakura have drowned? After all, her only redeeming quality is her athletic ability. She shouldn't have made any mistakes in that area."

「Nani?(?『ヘ′?;)ゞ」

Upon hearing Xiao Ke's words, Xiao Ying immediately turned her head and glared at it fiercely.

At this moment, Sakura was holding a bowl in one hand and an egg beater in the other, stirring the pancake batter in the bowl. Xiao Ke's words almost made her lose her mind. She raised the egg beater in her hand and was about to smash it at Xiao Ke.

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean I only never make mistakes when it comes to sports?"

Sakura pretended to hit Kero, but when it flapped its wings to dodge, she turned away angrily, hugged the bowl in her arms, and began to stir vigorously.

"You brat, this pancake is for me, Xiao Wang, and Zhi Shi. There's none for you."

"?(?–?)?"

Upon hearing Sakura's words, Kero's attitude changed drastically. It wagged its little tail and snuggled up to Sakura, pleading, "Please, please~ beautiful and adorable magician~"

Seeing Xiao Ke's silly look, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but shake his head, diverting Xiao Ying's attention: "If there were no external forces, how could a penguin drown in such a small body of water? As a sealed beast, it's so stupid that it can't even think of this... Tell me, what card could this be?"

"Where am I stupid!" Xiao Ke was still begging Xiao Ying for forgiveness, but Wang Changsheng's words made it turn around immediately.

Message: Negative points from Cerberus +999

Xiao Ke glared at Wang Changsheng, then crossed its arms and voiced its guess.

"It can create eddies in the water and attack people and animals..."

Xiao Ke shook her big head: "It should be the water sign."

"Water card?" Sakura, who had already put the mixed pancake sauce into the pan and started making pancakes, asked upon hearing Kero's words, "What kind of card is that?"

As soon as the waffle sauce was poured onto the hot pan, a fragrant aroma wafted out, filling the space. Xiao Ke's nose twitched instantly.

As it slurped its saliva, it explained, "The Water Card is one of the four elements..."

The waffles are quick to make; simply pour the mixed waffle sauce over them, and they'll be cooked in just a few minutes.

So while Kero was still giving a brief introduction to the menu, Sakura scooped the pancakes out of the pan and placed them on a plate.

Of course, this could also be because Kero's mind was always on the pancakes, so he spoke haltingly and ramblingly, unable to explain himself clearly for a long time. As a result, Sakura had already finished making the pancakes, but he still hadn't explained the water sign clearly.

"Hurry up and try some, Xiao Wang, and there's also Tomoyo-chan~" Sakura handed the prepared pancakes to Wang Changsheng and the others.

"I want some too! I want some too!"

Now that the fragrant pancakes were served, Xiao Ke had no time to explain anything and ran to Wang Changsheng with a clamor.

"You're not allowed to eat this! This is for Xiao Wang and Zhi Shi!" Sakura stepped forward to stop her.

"I don't care, you brat, give me a piece!" Xiao Ke shook its head repeatedly. Its tail was grabbed by Xiao Ying, but it still managed to pull a hot pancake from the plate in Wang Changsheng's hand with all its might.

"Who are you calling a brat? Don't steal my food. If you break a plate, I'll sell you to pay for it!" Wang Changsheng kindly offered Xiao Ke a pancake, but the guy still called him a brat. Wang Changsheng shoved him aside with his arm.

"You broke the plate yourself, why should I sell myself to pay for it..." Xiao Ke, protecting the slightly hot pancake in her arms, fought against Xiao Ying and Wang Changsheng all by herself.

Seeing this amusing scene, Tomoyo realized that she had somehow managed to hold up a camera in her hand.

"click"

Just as the group was playing around, a crisp sound of a door opening suddenly came from the entrance of Sakura's house.

"I'm back."

Along with the sound of the door opening came a magnetic and languid voice.

Sakura knew immediately that it was her older brother who had returned.

"(???д???)!!! What do I do? What do I do?"

For a moment, both Sakura and Kero panicked.

Especially since Xiao Ke had just picked up a still-warm pancake from the plate in Wang Changsheng's hand.

It was blowing air when the other owners of the house suddenly returned.

"Let Koko go back inside," Tomoyo's voice rang out.

"Yes, yes, hurry back to your room, quick!"

Tomoyo's calm and composed voice brought Sakura, who was somewhat at a loss, back to her senses. She quickly grabbed Kero, who was still stuffing food into his mouth, and then tossed him upstairs with a whoosh.

"Waaaah—my pancakes~~~"

With tears in its eyes, Xiao Ke clutched the remaining half of the waffle, spinning uncontrollably in mid-air, rolling several times before finally managing to steady itself in mid-air by manipulating its wings just before crashing into the steps.

Immediately afterward, before a figure could turn the corner from the entrance, he darted up the stairs.

"Onii-chan? You're back~"

Because the corridor leads directly out of the open kitchen, Sakura leaned against the kitchen doorway after throwing Kero back in, looking at the person who had come in.

"Hmm." Touya nodded gently upon returning. "Why do I feel like I heard some strange noise just now?"

Touya had already changed into his tiger-head slippers at the entrance. He looked at Sakura waiting for him at the door and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Haha...really? Maybe it was because I was chatting with Tomoyo and the others just now," Sakura said, scratching her head and laughing awkwardly.

"Hmph, I knew it right away, it was you yelling again." Touya chuckled lightly, then put his hands in his pockets and walked past Sakura. "But who else came to the house besides Tomoyo?"

Watching her older brother walk past her with a disdainful look, Sakura gritted her teeth and glared at Touya's retreating figure.

She was screaming like a ghost?

She wouldn't scream like that!

But if we don't admit that it was her screaming just now, then Xiao Ke's existence might be exposed.

In the end, Sakura could only helplessly swallow her tears and bear this strange accusation.

QAQ Waaaa~ She won't scream.

"It's Wang, a new transfer student in our class," Xiaoying replied.

"A new transfer student?" Touya paused upon hearing Sakura's words.

He stepped out to the kitchen doorway, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the boy standing with Tomoyo.

"Hello, brother. I'm Wang Changsheng, a new transfer student in Xiaoying's class."

Upon seeing Touya, Wang Changsheng remained calm, raised his pancake plate with a smile, and looked at the newcomer. Tomoyo, standing beside him, slowly lowered the camera she was holding to her chest, revealing her face, and then nodded slightly to Touya in greeting.

"Hello, Touya-san."

Touya squinted, looking Wang Changsheng up and down with an unbridled gaze, seemingly mixed with a hint of doubt, as if he felt that the other party resembled someone he knew.

The way she was acting made it seem like she was sizing up her future brother-in-law.

Hello.

Hearing Wang Changsheng greet Zhi Shi, he replied with a greeting as well.

They were somewhat polite, but not much.

"These are pancakes Sakura made. Would you like some, big brother?"

Wang Changsheng seemed oblivious to Touya's meaningful gaze. His voice was clear and pure, very pleasant to hear. He held up the pancake on the plate in his hand; one piece was missing, but that didn't stop him from saying to Touya, "It's delicious."

"I won't eat it." Touya's answer was concise and forceful.

Sakura followed Touya into the kitchen.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two seemed fairly harmonious, she pressed Touya for an answer: "Onii-chan, did you go to the aquarium today?"

Upon hearing Sakura's voice, Touya entered the living room and tapped on the schedule placed on the table to the side.

"You're not in fourth grade and still can't read, are you?" Touya glanced at his little sister. "Isn't it clearly written here? I'm going to work at the aquarium today."

Touya tossed his backpack onto the ground in a corner and then turned and walked toward the refrigerator.

He worked all day and then that thing happened. The penguin exhibit closed early, so he came back first and didn't even get a meal.

Fortunately, he received a significant overpayment, which meant he could enjoy more delicious meals later, so Touya didn't worry about whether or not to eat.

He squatted in front of the refrigerator and rummaged through it for a while, but couldn't find anything to eat.

Seeing that Touya had walked to the side, Wang Changsheng slowly put down the pancake in his hand.

If Tomoyo hadn't been there with him, he would have thought they were meeting the parents.

"So you work at the penguin enclosure? I saw you rescue that penguin when the show went wrong," Sakura's voice rang out again. "What kind of job do you do there? What's it like?"

Sakura followed Touya around, asking him questions.

"Feeding penguins."

Finding nothing edible in the refrigerator, Touya turned around, casually replied to Sakura, and then walked over to Wang Changsheng.

"Really? You can feed penguins? That's amazing!" Touya's answer made Sakura's eyes light up and she felt quite excited.

If my older brother can feed the penguins again next time, can he take me to the backstage of the aquarium to see how the penguins are raised?

"Great? Heh, what's so great about it?" Touya walked slowly toward Wang Changsheng, humming softly.

"Isn't it great? You can even feed the penguins, how fun is that~" Sakura said with a grin.

"You'll know how bad it is when you're feeding a bunch of fish every day." Touya didn't say much, he just stood next to Wang Changsheng.

"Why did you come to my house?" Touya asked, looking at Wang Changsheng.

"I asked Xiao Wang to come! Xiao Wang is very good at math, and I wanted him and Zhi Shi to tutor me, so I asked them to come over," Xiao Ying explained on behalf of Wang Changsheng.

"Is that so?" Touya shrugged noncommittally, then very naturally grabbed a waffle from Wang Changsheng's hand, put it in his mouth, and began to chew.

"Hey! Onii-chan!" Sakura, who had followed him, saw Touya's actions and exclaimed in surprise as he stuffed a huge piece of waffle into his mouth. "That's so mean! That was what I treated Wang-kun and Tomoyo to! How could you eat such a big piece?!"

"It's just a pancake, what a stingy monster." Touya waved his hand. "It tastes a bit bland, go make a new one."

"What?!" Seeing that her older brother not only ate a big piece of her pancake but also complained about it, Sakura immediately swung her fist and started a windmill attack, smashing it round and round at Touya.

"Hey, are you crazy? There are other people here!" Touya was startled by Sakura's sudden action and quickly dodged.

"Hmph! Little Wang and Zhi Shi should see your despicable face!"

Ignoring everything else, Sakura unleashed her Pegasus Meteor Fist, chasing after Touya and shouting, "I bought that with my own allowance!"

"Hey, are you going to keep listening at the door? Get in here right now!"

Tired of being chased and beaten by Sakura, Touya called out towards the door.

"Huh? Enough? (Sorry, sorry)~"

A clean-cut figure walked in. The moment Sakura saw him, her movements froze, and she slowly withdrew her outstretched hand.
