A journey through worlds starting with Magic Cards

Some time after the marathon ended, rumors suddenly began circulating in the school that there was a ghost in the music room...

"ghost?"

Sakura was a little scared, but then she remembered that when this kind of thing happened, it was usually related to the Clow Cards.

As for why I think this way, that can only be based on experience.

Ever since she started collecting Clow Cards, whenever something strange happens, it's always related to the Clow Cards.

She looked at Zhi Shi and Mu Yao, and the two of them returned her a smile.

Seeing this, she felt much more at ease.

Yes, it will definitely be fine.

Eriol suddenly asked Tomoyo, "Are you going to the music room to practice again today?"

Tomoyo paused for a moment, then said, "Yeah, because of the singing competition, everyone in the choir has to practice until very late. I have to practice solos, so I'm doing the same thing as them."

Sakura continued, "Because Tomoyo is the mainstay of the choir."

Zhi Shi smiled and looked at them without saying a word.

Elio looked at Mu Yao, and the two smiled at each other.

During class, everyone listened to the teacher playing the piano in the music room; it was the accompaniment for the song that Zhi Shi would be singing in the competition.

As she listened, Sakura paused for a moment.

The scent of Clow Cards is in this classroom.

It was indeed the Clow Cards causing trouble; thankfully, it wasn't a ghost.

Li Xiaolang, who was sitting behind her, also noticed it, but he was not sure if it was a Clow Card.

"Can you feel it? There's something strange in this classroom."

Sakura nodded: "Yes, it's a Clow Card."

Li Xiaolang was taken aback, then said, "As expected, you were already able to detect that it was a Clow Card."

Should I say that he truly deserves to be the one chosen by Cerberus?

However, he wouldn't give up; he was determined to get the Clow Cards.

Mu Yao suggested, "Then let's come over tonight when no one's at school."

Sakura turned her head: "Huh? Is Mu Yao here too?"

Mu Yao nodded: "I have a feeling it's going to be a wonderful night, so I'll come along too."

Then, she turned to look at Elio: "Do you want to come along?"

Elio smiled and said, "Of course."

Li Xiaolang glared at Elio: "I can understand her going, but why are you doing this?"

Elio laughed and said, "Because Yao Yao and I are together. Wherever she is, I am."

Actually, I was just bored and wanted to watch a play with Mu Yao.

Li Xiaolang found this reason convincing.

"Forget it, just come."

Anyway, they all knew about the Clow Cards, so it didn't seem to make much difference whether they looked at them more or less.

Come to think of it, it seems that the few of them who knew about Clow Cards were all sitting together. He, Mei Ling, Kinomoto, Daidouji, Mu Yao, and Hiiragi Sawa were all seated together, forming a small circle.

So is there some kind of magic to this location?

.........

That evening at 10 p.m., the six of them, along with Xiao Ke, arrived at the school.

Facing the dark school, Sakura's hand holding the magic wand trembled.

Li Meiling looked at Mu Yao and Elio: "Speaking of which, why didn't you change your clothes?"

Mu Yao and Eriol were wearing casual clothes, Sakura was wearing the battle suit made by Tomoyo, and Li Meiling and Li Xiaolang were wearing Taoist robes.

Even Xiao Ke has hats made from leftover scraps.

Mu Yao smiled: "Because we are just accompanying personnel."

Li Xiaolang looked at Li Meiling: "You have no magic power, so you won't be able to handle anything that happens. Just wait for us at the school gate."

"Why!"

Li Meiling naturally refused, and she looked at Zhi Shi: "Why can she?"

Tomoyo smiled and said, "I'm the recorder."

Li Meiling was so angry that she yelled, "I should have brought my camera!"

Li Xiaolang said helplessly, "We're not here to play around."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions on their faces changed.

Suddenly, singing came from the darkness.

Everyone ran in the direction from which the sound came.

When they got near the music room, the singing became clearer, but they still couldn't make out what was being sung.

However, Mu Yao and Elio heard it clearly.

Mu Yao looked at Zhi Shi: "Isn't this the song Zhi Shi sang in the competition?"

Sakura and the others were taken aback and turned to look at Tomoyo.

Tomoyo listened carefully and nodded: "Yes, it does look very similar."

Elio said, "Let's go take a look, maybe there will be a surprise."

As the group walked toward the music classroom, the sound became clearer.

Sakura recognized it too: "That's right, it's Tomoyo singing."

Tomoyo nodded: "Yes, it's a practice song for the national competition."

Li Meiling eagerly opened the door to grab the Clow Cards, but startled the Clow Cards inside, and they ran away.

After a while, the singing came from the rooftop, and the group chased after it.

While climbing the stairs, Kero told them that the card that was singing was the karuta, a very gentle Clow Card that liked to sing.

Because Tomoyo practiced so hard, she also practiced karuta (Japanese card games).

Once they reached the rooftop, Kero suggested that Tomoyo sing so that the karuta card would be lured out, and Sakura could catch it once it appeared.

Tomoyo took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"Shining in the night sky"

"The distant Silver Star..."

The karuta card did indeed appear.

Tomoyo continued singing: "Last night I saw in my dream..."

Bird-like color

On sleepless nights…

The karuta started singing along with her.

Mu Yao had heard this song before, but it was the first time she had heard Tomoyo and the karuta sing it together live, which felt very magical.

She stared intently at Tomoyo and the karuta cards, while Eriol looked at her tenderly.

Seeing her intently watching Tomoyo sing, her eyes gradually filled with stars, twinkling and sparkling, she looked absolutely beautiful.

He glanced at Tomoyo, a fleeting pang of jealousy rising in his heart, but it vanished in an instant.

She used to only give him that look, but now she was giving other people the same look. It was really annoying.

Mu Yao's attention was entirely focused on Tomoyo and the karuta, and she didn't notice Eriol's deep, dark eyes.

She only turned her gaze away after the karuta card appeared and was sealed away by Sakura.

It's such a pity I didn't get to hear the whole thing.

but……

She looked at Sakura: "Sakura, have you forgotten something?"

Sakura was taken aback, then realized she hadn't recorded anything, so she had to ask Tomoyo and Karuta to sing it again.
