CHAPTER 1184: CHAPTER 1183: WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS!!

Valentine’s Day passed just like that.

Of course, in the end, Fang Zheng received the chocolates from Illya and Nanoha, finally achieving a complete chocolate accomplishment.

After that, the days continued to pass by, and Little Sakura kept working hard to collect the Clow Cards.

Unlike the original story, due to Little Sakura’s increased power, many Clow Cards were found and successfully sealed by her even before they were activated. Syaoran, motivated by the appearance of a competitor, also put in more effort. However, unfortunately for him, he didn’t have a group helping him like Little Sakura did, so he only managed to gather a few Clow Cards.

What made Fang Zheng feel a bit amused was that this led to several changes in the plot.

Originally, there were several instances where Syaoran saved Little Sakura, which sparked feelings between them. But now, it was often Little Sakura saving Syaoran instead. Well... okay, it didn’t exactly reverse things. In any case, Syaoran still seemed to develop feelings for Little Sakura.

However, he apparently felt that he wasn’t quite a match for Little Sakura yet, so he didn’t intend to confess.

Little Sakura, on the other hand, was as oblivious as ever, and her relationship with Syaoran remained somewhere between rivals and friends, not as close as in the original story. As for Shisei, she was still her usual self, content to follow Little Sakura around and secretly photograph her.

Finally, after another month, on the first evening of summer vacation, Little Sakura successfully sealed the last Clow Card.

It was then that she witnessed with her own eyes her brother’s friend, the Snow Rabbit, transform into the second Guardian of the Clow Cards—"Mr. Yue."

"How could this be... Snow Rabbit is actually Mr. Yue?"

With her Magic Wand in hand, Little Sakura was surprised as she stared at the white-haired young man with wings spread, floating in the sky. If it were the original Little Sakura, she might have been at a loss. But in this world, perhaps due to less interaction with Snow Rabbit, Little Sakura didn’t have a strong affection for him, so she was merely taken aback.

On the contrary, Syaoran next to her...

"How could it be... Snow Rabbit is actually...?"

Staring at the Guardian before him, Syaoran turned pale, looking as if he had suffered some serious blow, shaking unsteadily.

"What’s wrong, Syaoran?"

Seeing Syaoran’s strange display, Meiling beside him curiously glanced in his direction, and Syaoran jerked in surprise, coming back to his senses and shaking his head.

"It’s nothing, nothing..."

While saying this, Syaoran tightened his grip on his sword and leapt to the rooftop.

"So, if I defeat you, you’ll acknowledge me as the holder of the Clow Cards, right?"

"That’s right."

Continuing just like the original story, Syaoran was instantly defeated by Yue, collapsing with a cry, and naturally, all of Syaoran’s Clow Cards were taken by Yue.

"Next, it’s your turn."

Yue gently descended, looking at Little Sakura standing to the side, and extended his hand.

"Come, let me see if you have the... What is this?"

However, just as Yue was about to do something, he was astonished to see all the Clow Cards around Little Sakura had turned pink and were floating in the air, spinning around their owner while dancing up and down—as if showing off to Yue.

"This is... Clow Cards? How did the Clow Cards turn into this?"

Seeing the Clow Cards turning pink before him, Yue was dumbfounded. He had been dormant in Snow Rabbit’s body, and since in this world, Little Sakura and Snow Rabbit had little interaction, and every time a Clow Card was sealed, it was done secretly. As a result, Yue had no idea that Little Sakura had not only successfully sealed many Clow Cards but had also completely transformed them into Sakura Brand Cards.

This meant... whether he admitted it or not, the master of the Clow Cards was Little Sakura!

"......Come, holder of the Clow Cards."

Noticing the magical energy emanating from the Clow Cards, Yue’s expression turned somewhat grim, but he forced himself to remain calm and extend his hand, continuing to deliver his lines.

"If you can defeat me, then I will acknowledge you as the master of the Clow Cards."

With Yue’s words, a shining Light Orb appeared in his palm, and the next moment, countless Ice Arrows shot from it, flying towards Little Sakura.

"FLY!"

After so many battles, Little Sakura had become quite experienced, and her reactions were quick. Just as Yue launched his attack, Little Sakura quickly activated the "FLY" card, soaring into the sky. Yue’s attacks followed closely behind, launching another assault.

"SHIELD!"

The protective Barrier appeared instantly, once again blocking Yue’s attack.

"Amazing, your reactions are swift."

Seeing his consecutive attacks so easily thwarted, Yue’s originally expressionless face now showed a trace of surprise.

"But... is merely defending enough? If you cannot defeat me, then I will not recognize you as the master of the Clow Cards."

"Mr. Yue———!"

Hearing Yue’s words, Little Sakura gripped her Magic Wand tightly, looking at the Guardian before her.

"I am fond of these adorable kids, and they all like me too. I... I’m not their master; I am their friend. And Mr. Yue too... So, I will do my best, and I will definitely make Mr. Yue acknowledge me!"

With these words, Little Sakura suddenly opened her personal terminal.

"Teacher, I want to use that!"

"Alright, go ahead and use it... Anyway... the Barrier is already up..."

"Got it!"

Hearing Fang Zheng’s response, Little Sakura nodded happily, then turned to face Yue again.

"Mr. Yue, please watch carefully, this is my... full throttle!"

As she spoke, Little Sakura raised her Magic Staff and took out a "Clow Card."

That is...

Seeing the Clow Card in Little Sakura’s hand, Yue couldn’t help but furrow his brow. Although the color and pattern were different, Yue could still see that it was a "Hanafuda," but... this Clow Card wasn’t meant for battle, so how would she confront him?

"Spell Card device, unleash your power... FLOWER!"

Shouting, Little Sakura placed the Clow Card on the top of her Magic Wand.

"Flower Talisman———Fantasy Flower Bloom!"

Accompanying Little Sakura’s shout, Yue was startled to see countless radiant Magic Bullets explode from Little Sakura as the center, spreading in all directions!

What is this thing?!

Yue quickly focused his attention, no longer maintaining his previous ease. Facing the explosive barrage, the silver-haired Guardian flew up instantly, dodging the bullets and attempting to counterattack Little Sakura. He called forth countless Ice Arrows once more, directing them at Little Sakura, but Little Sakura twisted and easily evaded Yue’s attack.

However, in the next moment, her released barrage changed again.

Countless spinning Sunflowers exploded and dispersed in all directions. This time, Yue couldn’t avoid the attack, and was directly hit by several Sunflowers. With a series of explosions, Yue was blown away by the magical power contained in the Sunflowers.

Ugh...

After tumbling several times in mid-air, Yue finally steadied himself. At this moment, all previous underestimation towards Little Sakura had vanished, replaced by a grave demeanor.

In that case, let me try this move!

"Go! Pierce it!"

With a shout of anger, Yue suddenly reached out, ice crystals forming in his hand to become a 40-meter-long sword, which then pierced through Little Sakura’s barrage, aiming straight at her.

But at this moment, Little Sakura hurriedly took out another card[SWORD].

The next moment, silvery sword lights interlaced out of thin air in front of Little Sakura, instantly slicing Yue’s ice sword into pieces. Then the dazzling silvery lights scattered, transforming into countless Cherry Blossom-like Magic Bullets, howling towards the Guardian not far away.

"Six Paths Sword———One Thought Infinite Slash!"

"This......"

Seeing the approaching Magic Bullets, Yue was dumbfounded.

When he was swallowed by the Magic Bullets, Yue’s mind was filled with only one thought.

"What on earth is this!!!"
