If this wasn't an excuse, Xuefu's memory was really bad, so his grades weren't that good. So Kangfu didn't mind.
"What you said yesterday about dreaming about super beasts, is that true?"
"It was real. It was a big, scary creature, all red, with fins on the sides of its ears. It came out of the lake and sprayed water at me. It soaked me all over, and then I woke up and found that I had wet the bed."
If it had happened only once, Xuefu would have thought it was just a dream, but the same horrible scene had been haunting him for a whole week.
"In that case, let Sakura come. You know, she's the magician of Clow!"
Of course Xuefu knew that the TV show "Cardcaptor" was being watched by all the classmates around him, and of course he was too.
"But, is it really possible?"
For a bed-wetter like me who wets the bed so often, would such a powerful person like Sakura Kinomoto really be willing to help me?
"Sakura saved me from a kappa monster before. She also saved my sister and my neighbor. This time it's not a lie! So, she is a real magical girl who will help people in need!"
Being looked at expectantly by the two, the "real magical girl" Sakura Kinomoto didn't know what to do next.
Chapter 216 Fear
Although she had promised Kangfu to help, Sakura didn't know what she could do when she stood in front of Xuefu.
On the sidelines of the football field, she, Kangfu and Xuefu stared at each other stupidly for a while.
"Don't you want to recite the spell?" Kangfu asked. "The key to the hidden dark power, the spell."
It's okay to chant the spell, but of course nothing will happen. The Dark Key won't turn into a wand, no magic circle will appear, and of course it won't make you brave.
Sakura hesitated. She could foresee Xuefu's disappointment. It would be great if she really had magic like Ling, but she was not a real magical girl and could not use magic to help others.
"Why, Kangfu, you don't really believe that there is Clow Magic in the world?"
A laugh came from the boy who was playing football. The originally inconspicuous corner attracted the attention of many children because of Sakura's presence.
"You're talking nonsense, Kuro Magic really exists! Sakura saved me before!"
"Are you Kangfu? I've heard of you, the liar from Class 2, right?"
After hearing this, Kangfu felt like he had been hit on a sore spot and was completely speechless.
"Sakura, don't play with them, come to our soccer team. I'm the captain of the soccer team, how about you be the leader of our cheerleading team?"
The boy's name was Kazuya. He was the one who formed the football team and naturally became the captain of the team.
The football club and basketball club are usually the most popular clubs in the school, although their school's football club has never achieved any results over the years, let alone the county competition, and has not even won a friendly match with surrounding schools. However, with Sakura as a cheerleader, whether they can win in future competitions with other schools is another matter, it will definitely be very cool, and other teams will be envious.
Sakura shook her head, and Kazuya didn't force it. He dared to yell at Xuefu and Yasuo, but he didn't dare to do that to Sakura.
If the football team is the star of a school, then Sakura is the star among the stars of their school, although she herself does not seem to be aware of this.
"Xuefu, you're not going to tell others about your dream about the super beast again, are you? Bedwetting is bedwetting, are you still going to say that it was the super beast who did it?"
"But I really dreamed about the super beast."
"That was a nightmare you had. Or do you really believe there is a super beast? A super beast that doesn't do anything bad but stares at you every day just to make you wet the bed?"
The students watching around all laughed.
It was not a pleasant feeling to be made a laughing stock. Xuefu clutched his pants tightly, lowered his head and could not speak.
"By the way, I have a great idea, Xuefu, you want to join our football team, right?"
"Yes!" Joining the football team has always been Xuefu's dream and it has never changed.
"You know, I'm the captain of the football team. I can let you join. But there's one condition."
"What conditions?"
Xuefu was willing to agree to any conditions as long as he could join the football team. The players on the football team were all stars of the school. As long as he became a member of the team, no one would laugh at him anymore. Maybe he could become braver.
"Our football team doesn't accept cowards. Didn't you say you saw the Ultra Beast? To prove your courage, how about you call the TAC team over? As long as you can call the TAC team here, I will let you join the football team."
There is only one situation that can make the TAC team go out, and that is the appearance of a super beast. Of course, there is no super beast here, so this is asking him to make a false alarm!
Xuefu hesitated.
"What, you don't dare anymore? If it's true as you said, that you're being harassed by Ultra Beasts every day, there wouldn't be any problem in asking the TAC team to come investigate, right? Or, were all your previous statements a lie?"
"No, I'm not lying! I did dream about the Ultra Beast, I understand, I..."
"No, Xuefu, you can't make such a call. It's illegal to make a false police report!" Although Sakura had always felt that she couldn't get a word in, it turned out that she couldn't do something illegal. She didn't like to argue with others, but seeing the bad-hearted people deliberately bullying others, Sakura couldn't help it.
"If we call the police, you all should stay here. When the TAC team arrives, we can say that you were the ones who suggested calling the police. How about that?"
"I, I didn't say that. Forget it, let's go play football and ignore this bed-wetter."
Kazuya said this and ran away with the group of football players.
"Thank you"
Xuefu lowered his head and spoke softly. He knew that he almost did something stupid. However, he really wanted to be braver, at least not to be laughed at.
"Actually, I don't know any magic that can make people brave." Sakura smoothed the hem of her skirt and sat down on the lawn. "Cuckold magic, that's something you see on TV, I don't know it."
Xuefu actually knew it, he just held on to the mentality of saving his life. But the reality is cruel, there is no magic in this world, only terrible super beasts.
"Thank you, Sakura... and Yasuo, I will never forget your name next time. My classmates all laugh at me, but you are the only ones willing to talk to me."
"Actually, I was attacked by a monster before. I was playing on the beach when suddenly the whole ocean started to boil. The houses collapsed and the sea even flooded the shore. Fortunately, there was the MAT team and Ultraman who defeated the monster."
"That's when you started wetting the bed?"
"Yes, the monster was so scary. I was terrified. Although I wasn't hurt, I developed the strange habit of wetting the bed from then on."
Even now, recalling the scene of the waves rolling up to the sky, making it impossible to distinguish between the sky and the sea, and covering the sky as if the whole world was rushing towards him, Xuefu could not help but feel the fear in his heart.
"Did you dream about the super beast at that time too?"
"That's not it. The super beast is a recent thing. In the past week or so, I don't know why, I dream about the same super beast every night. I used to wet the bed two or three times a month. But recently, because of the super beast dream, I wet the bed every day. Mom took me to see a doctor and prescribed medicine, but it didn't work."
Even the hospital was of no use, Sakura really didn't know what else she could do.
Everyone has their own fears. Xuefu is afraid of the experience of being attacked by a tsunami monster. What about her? Sakura knows that she is not braver than Xuefu. She was also attacked, together with Kangfu, in the haunted house of the kappa monster. It was her mother who saved her, and Lingye who was holding the bow of breaking the magic. But even so, she is still afraid in her heart.
Although what she was really afraid of was not monsters or super beasts, but something else.
"Oh, by the way," Sakura remembered something Lingye had given her. She dug into her skirt pocket, pulled out a small wallet, and took out a talisman from it. "This talisman might be useful and protect you."
She doesn't know magic, but Sakura believes that magic does exist in this world and there are real magical girls.
This amulet was brought back by Lingye from Izumo Taisha Shrine and blessed by her during the first ceremony. Although Lingye said that she didn't know whether such a blessing would be useful, Sakura believed that this amulet could bring happiness to people.
"Give this to me?"
"Yes, this is an amulet, an amulet that is granted magical power by a real magical girl."
Xuefu was a little confused, but he still reached out to take it. At the moment of passing it over, Sakura felt a chill, not knowing whether it was an illusion.
It was not surprising that Tomoyo's song "Friendship" passed the preliminaries and the Tomoeda Elementary School Choir Club entered the finals.
"Congratulations, Tomoyo."
"This is the result of all of our efforts. Tomorrow it's up to Lingye."
"Ah, you're putting me under a lot of pressure now."
"If you're lying, Lingye won't feel any pressure."
For Lingye, there really is no pressure. Because she doesn't care about rankings or awards. For her, no matter what kind of competition it is, it's just a simple singing on stage.
She likes singing, and gradually discovered that she likes the lively stage.
But the accident still happened.
The next morning, Ling also received a call early in the morning.
Only a few of her friends knew her mobile phone number, so when she saw the caller ID of an unfamiliar number, she thought that the world had begun to have telemarketing. But it was obviously her misunderstanding.
The person calling was Sakura's mother, Nadeshiko Amamiya, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. No, now that her marriage to Fujitaka was restored, she should be called Nadeshiko Kinomoto again.
"Sakura has been crying?"
"Yes, since early morning. I didn't know who to ask for help, so I just remembered your phone call."
Ling also looked at the time, it was 7:20, more than two hours before the competition. But the competition was not important.
Lingya didn't even let Butler Jianye drive, but took a step directly and arrived at Sakura's door.
Sakura was indeed crying, and even outside the house, she could be faintly heard.
After hanging up the phone, she saw the person who called appeared outside the house. Nadeshiko was not surprised. She just felt a little guilty. This kind of thing should be her responsibility as a mother. It was not the first time that Ying's Jialing came here. She was already familiar with it.
Pushing open the bedroom door, Sakura was still in her pajamas, but not on the bed. Instead, she was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"What's wrong, Sakura? Are you feeling unwell?"
Originally Sakura had stopped crying, but when she saw Lingya, she couldn't hold back anymore.
"Reiya...I'm sorry, I, I just had a nightmare."
"Nightmare?"
Ling didn't care about the nightmare. She sat down next to Sakura and also sat on the floor beside the bed.
"What kind of dream was it?"
Sakura shook her head heavily.
"Is it a very scary thing? It's okay if you don't want to say it." Ling looked at the messy dressing table next to her. She took a wooden comb from the dressing table, sat back behind Sakura, and combed her hair that she hadn't combed since she woke up.
Sakura's hair was in good condition, but after a night of sleep, it was inevitably a little tangled. Ling also combed it carefully to prevent more split ends.
"Still the same as usual, or with a different hairstyle?"
If a girl changes her hairstyle, her mood will also change.
"Thank you." Sakura didn't answer. She leaned back and leaned on Lingye's shoulder. Lingye couldn't comb her hair, but she didn't care and put the comb down. She just let Sakura lean on her.
Sakura is a few months older than Reiya, but looking at her like this, it seems as if Reiya is the big sister.
"I dreamed of the Ultra Beast."
"Is it a super beast?"
If Sakura was attacked by a super beast in a dream, she would be scared, but not so sad. What she dreamed about was that she failed to protect her mother.
The mother who was lost and found again disappeared before her eyes again under the huge paw of the super beast. Because the feeling was too real, Xiaoying still couldn't let it go.
