Chapter 177 Sakura was shocked when she saw what Wang Changsheng took out.
""???"Well……"
Sakura seemed to realize her mistake after saying that. She shook her head repeatedly, looked around, and then waved her hands with an embarrassed smile, saying, "Sorry, sorry, I misspoke... It wasn't 'fiancée,' it was 'fiancé,' the shopkeeper's fiancé..."
"It's alright, he won't hear you even if you're wrong," Wang Changsheng said helplessly. "Natsume Seian usually stays in the back mountain, so you don't have to worry about running into him."
In fact, Wang Changsheng thought that Natsume Seian usually stayed by Masaki's side, but if he said that, Sakura might involuntarily develop a fear of that boutique, so he changed his words. Obviously, the effect was significant, and Sakura visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Sakura's expression, Tomoyo couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"It's good that he's not here, Xiao Wang. What can he do for you? Do you need my help? I've learned quite a bit of magic now, and if it's not too difficult, I'm sure I can help you!" Sakura raised her head and looked directly at Wang Changsheng, her dark green eyes filled with a hopeful gaze.
Judging from her behavior, Xiaoying seemed eager to help Wang Changsheng.
Wang Changsheng had originally intended to bring Xiaoying along to complete the task entrusted to him by Natsume Seian, so he nodded: "This really needs you and me to complete it together. If I do it by myself, it might be very difficult."
The mental hospital that doesn't exist in the human world is unknown, but Sakura's Clow Cards are the embodiment of the rules of this world, possessing immense power.
She has indeed collected quite a few cards. If Sakura can use these Clow Cards skillfully, she can be considered a somewhat accomplished magician.
However, because Sakura has only been using magic for a short time, her on-the-spot reaction ability is not very strong, and her judgment of the situation is not clear, so she is unable to effectively maximize the advantages of the Clow Cards' power.
Sakura needs to hone her skills herself; Wang Changsheng can't help her with that.
As for how to hone her skills, continuing to follow the path paved for Sakura by Clow Reed is not out of the question, but the world is changing too rapidly these days.
Wang Changsheng had a faint worry in his heart.
He feared that the world would change drastically before he and Sakura had a chance to grow.
At that time, even someone as strong as Kuro Reid might find it difficult to perfectly control the entire situation.
Therefore, taking Sakura on an adventure was part of Wang Changsheng's long-standing plan.
Upon hearing Wang Changsheng say that she held a very important position in the entrustment of Manager Masaki's fiancé and that Wang Changsheng also needed her help, Xiaoying immediately became excited.
Ever since she met Wang Changsheng, he has always been the one helping her.
Although Sakura sometimes felt that Wang Changsheng was overly familiar, as if he had known her for a long time, Sakura knew that this was probably because their elders knew each other.
That's why Wang Changsheng felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he first met her, as if they were born to be friends.
Unfortunately, she has yet to properly introduce Wang Changsheng to her father.
"When can I invite Xiao Wang over for a visit? I must ask Dad to cook a big feast for him!" Xiao Ying thought to herself with delight.
"Right, right, I have to pick a time when my idiot brother isn't around!"
Thinking this, Sakura couldn't help but reveal eight clean, white teeth: "Really? That's great! I'll definitely help you, Xiao Wang, fulfill the request from the shop manager's fiancé!"
"What is it anyway? Why is it so hard to get you to speak?" Xiao Ke complained impatiently as she waited on the side.
Looking at Xiaoying's resolute expression, Wang Changsheng pondered for two seconds, then smiled slightly: "We're going to catch ghosts!"
Sakura—
"(°ー°〃)"
"(???；)"
"ヾ(??Д??)?"
"What?!"
Sakura's expressions were incredibly varied and colorful, leaving even Tomoyo completely bewildered.
Her hands were trembling, and her cherry-like lips stammered as she spoke to Wang Changsheng in a pitiful tone, "Little Wang, you're not joking, are you? We...we're going to..."
"Ghost hunting???"
Wang Changsheng nodded firmly: "You heard me right, we're going to help Natsume Seian catch a demon, and this demon involves our classmate, Natsume Asahi..."
Wang Changsheng briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter to Xiaoying.
He didn't go into the specific details, but only emphasized the consequences if they didn't complete the task.
Clearly, this immediately hit Sakura's weak point.
"Will something happen to Natsume if we don't go find that ghost?" Sakura's fair face immediately scrunched up.
A hint of seriousness crept into Tomoyo's expression.
When Wang Changsheng was at school today, he only told her that Natsume was not an ordinary person, but did not explain to her the course of events and the reasons behind it.
Tomoyo was also surprised to learn that Natsume was involved in such an incident.
Having been classmates for so long, Natsume had always acted unremarkable, like a nobody. Now, suddenly, she realized that Natsume's soul and personality were not complete, so it's no wonder that Tomoyo was surprised.

"In that case, we must go!" Although Sakura was still a little scared of ghosts, this involved her classmates with whom she had spent many years.
Even though they weren't particularly familiar with each other, and Sakura didn't have a deep impression of Natsume Asahi, it didn't stop this warm-hearted girl from selflessly showing her kindness and courage.
Xiao Ke never expected that Wang Changsheng would encounter such a thing.
"The ghost of the dead?" It stroked its round chin, its brow furrowed in thought. "By the way, why haven't I heard Kuro mention anything about a mental hospital?"
"There's no rush." Seeing Xiaoying's determination, Wang Changsheng's smile showed some relief.
Wang Changsheng gradually nurtured Xiaoying from a little girl who knew nothing and understood nothing, who was easily startled by anything she saw, into a little girl who could overcome her fears and reach out to help friends, family, and even strangers... For some reason, Wang Changsheng felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Is this the joy of raising a pet?
(???????????)~~~
The development system is YYDS!
Composing himself, Wang Changsheng looked at Xiaoying: "I heard from Masaki's fiancé that we need to wait for the right opportunity before we can enter that mental hospital."
"Is this mental hospital still open? Are there any other mental patients inside?" Zhi Shi asked Wang Changsheng.
"There should be some." Wang Changsheng knew that Zhi Shi wanted to know how dangerous the mental hospital was, so he brought up Natsume Seiyasu's statement.
"We're going to the seventh ward of this mental hospital, which is considered to be of medium to low danger level. According to Natsume Seiyasu, the reason that ghost was able to establish itself in that place is largely because it has taken over half of Natsume's soul and personality."
"But in the end, even now, Natsume is just an elementary school student like us. When that demon was separated, Natsume was even younger, so it didn't have much power to rely on. That's why it has been staying in Ward 7."
"So there shouldn't be any major problems. I'll take Sakura in safely and come out safely. You can rest assured, Tomoyo. You know I have the Anywhere Door. Even if we encounter any danger, we can escape at any time."
Wang Changsheng understood that Zhishi was worried about him and Xiaoying, so he explained things to Zhishi in an attempt to dispel her concerns.
Of course, Wang Changsheng wasn't entirely sure whether he could use the Anywhere Door to leave that place that didn't exist in the human world.
However, he certainly had other backup plans. The Anywhere Door was just a way to put his mind at ease by mentioning it directly.
"I see~" Tomoyo nodded upon hearing this, a strange light shimmering in her dark purple eyes.
Looking at her ambiguous smile, Wang Changsheng's alarm bells immediately went off.
Sure enough, Tomoyo said with a soft, sweet voice, "In that case, I'll entrust myself entirely to you!"
"???ДO???"
Wang Changsheng stared at Zhishi.
The curve of her lips was as perfect as a crescent moon, and her eyes sparkled with a few bright stars.
For a moment, Wang Changsheng couldn't tell whether it was a warm smile or a hidden wicked grin.
"Tomoyo, are you going too?" Sakura turned her head and looked at Tomoyo.
Xiao Ke also snapped out of her thoughts and said to Zhi Shi, "This must be pretty dangerous. You're coming with us; who knows what might happen?"
Sakura nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, Tomoyo, maybe you shouldn't go."
"Didn't Changsheng just say that he's made all the necessary preparations? Nothing will happen to us." Tomoyo shook her head.
She wasn't afraid of danger at all.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed by Sakura's side the whole time, filming them capturing the Clow Cards.
The passion to record Sakura's heroic figure completely overshadowed the fear of danger.
Tomoyo would automatically enter a magical state whenever she was recording Sakura.
Wang Changsheng sometimes felt that even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, Zhi Shi would remain indifferent.
As long as Taishan doesn't block her from taking pictures of Sakura, it's fine.
Of course, Tomoyo would still worry if Sakura encountered any danger.
She would go from a calm, composed shoot to one filled with worry.
Seeing that Chiyo seemed determined to go with them, Sakura couldn't help but glance at Wang Changsheng.
"I told you I was capable of getting Sakura away safely so you could be at ease, but you still want to come along," Wang Changsheng shook his head inwardly. "Fine, let her come. One more or one less won't make a difference. Besides, if we really encounter danger, Tomoyo might be more reliable than Sakura."
The latter shook his head and said, "In that case, Tomoyo, you should just stick close to us."
Anyway, no matter what happens, he can protect Tomoyo, so if she wants to go with him, then let her go.
With the combined aura of the two main characters, Wang Changsheng felt even more confident in finding Natsume Asahi and escaping safely.
Although Tomoyo appears to have no magical powers on the surface, her actual role is very significant.

This is the same principle as using a mascot.
Moreover, Wang Changsheng felt that once Zhi Shi entered filming mode, those dangers seemed to be deliberately ignored and avoided from clashing with her.
This might be one of the effects of Tomoyo's unique protagonist aura.
"Alright, since Xiao Wang has said so, then Tomoyo, you must stay close to us! Don't leave our sight!" Although Sakura's first reaction was not to get Tomoyo involved in these things, after so many years of getting along, Sakura roughly knew Tomoyo's personality.
Although she seems very approachable, in reality, once Tomoyo has made up her mind, it is very difficult for others to change her mind.
Tomoyo is different from other children. She has a strong sense of self and management skills. According to Xiao Wang, what's that word again?
Oh, right!
precocious!
Sakura pouted.
Xiao Wang sometimes comes up with some strange words and sentences.
Every time I chat with him, or listen to him chat with others, I learn a lot.
So, Xiao Wang must be a precocious child, right?
They're all so amazing!
Blinking, Sakura no longer felt any resistance to Tomoyo going to the mental hospital with her.
She was only worried about Tomoyo, but since Tomoyo was going, she would protect her well!
Having made up her mind, Sakura actually felt safer about Tomoyo's involvement.
With Xiao Wang and Tomoyo by her side, Sakura is full of confidence no matter what she does!
Xiao Ke: What about me?
"Go on, go on. Now that this matter has been decided, shouldn't we consider how to seal that illusion card?" Xiao Ke and the others exchanged glances and spoke as if they didn't take him seriously at all. His guilt towards Xiao Ying vanished instantly like smoke.
It flicked its tail, turned around, and showed its rear end to the crowd.
Hearing Keroberos's words, Sakura nodded: "That's true. We must be more careful this time and not be careless or reckless!"
Wang Changsheng glanced at her.
You probably said that to yourself, right?
Aside from your recklessness, none of us are.
Shaking his head slightly, Wang Changsheng still agreed, saying, "That's right, Xiaoying is right!"
The three of them discussed things in Sakura's bedroom for a while before deciding to separate.
After all, Sakura's dad and brother still need to go home soon, and they'll cause some trouble here.
Yesterday, when Sakura had that incident, Touya didn't tell Fujitaka. He only said that Sakura had told him she wasn't feeling well, and Fujitaka naturally acted as if nothing had happened.
As for what Sakura did on the back mountain of their school, Sakura didn't say, and Touya didn't ask either.
Of course, since she was either unconscious or fast asleep yesterday, Touya didn't have a chance to ask, and Yukito didn't know the specifics of what happened.
Touya did have a chance to ask this morning, but time was short.
He explained to his father that he needed to ask Sakura for leave, but there wasn't much time left, so he still couldn't get the information.
Now that a day has passed, he probably has lost the desire to ask Sakura.
"So big"
After seeing Tomoyo off, Sakura was stunned and somewhat surprised when she saw what Wang Changsheng had taken out.
Is this the pink door that Tomoyo and Xiao Wang were talking about, the one that allows you to travel freely through different spaces?
They're so much taller than me.
Sakura raised her head and looked up.
After Wang Changsheng explained the function of the Anywhere Door, Xiao Ke circled the door frame twice with a disbelieving look on her face.
"This is it? It can travel through space?"
It's no wonder Xiao Ke didn't believe it.
After all, it knows how difficult it is to learn the laws of space.
Even Clow Reed encountered far too many difficulties when he was refining the laws of space.
The Clow Cards that were ultimately created were not entirely satisfactory. They were incredibly powerful only when in the hands of their creator, Clow, but in the hands of others, they were merely tools for passing through walls.
Moreover, that card involving space is currently sealed; it can't even be passed through walls.
Even the Clow Cards have some limitations in terms of space, so how can a broken door frame ignore distance and allow someone to instantly travel thousands of miles just by turning the doorknob?
Wang Changsheng curled his lip in response to Xiao Ke's question.
He didn't choose to explain; instead, he opened the door, waved to Sakura, and went inside.
After returning to a corner of the manor, Wang Changsheng put the Anywhere Door away again, and naturally, the Anywhere Door on Xiaoying's side also disappeared.
"!!!"
Xiao Ke's eyes widened.
"It's really gone! I just saw a grove of trees through that door, isn't that Wang's backyard?" Sakura exclaimed in surprise. She walked around the spot where the door had disappeared in her pajamas.
Xiao Ke flapped its wings and swooped through the air twice.
"It really is," it said, its expression complex. "Just how much more does this guy have?"
