Chapter 204 Green Hat

Chapter 200: Green Hat?

"Where am I?"

After Sakura and Kero returned to their bedroom, it was getting late, so they quickly tidied up and went to bed.

The process of capturing the Clow Cards was indeed tiring, and Sakura fell asleep quickly, soon drifting off to sleep.

Time passed slowly.

Sakura didn't know how much time had passed, but she felt as if she had arrived in another place.

"Was it a dream?"

Sakura was still not fully conscious. In her hazy state, she felt that the dream seemed somewhat familiar, yet also very strange.

It was that towering giant tower again.

It still stands before me, its tower dazzling and radiant.

Sakura felt as if she were on a rooftop, surrounded by an endless divine moon.

The full moon, imbued with an ancient aura, lay there, casting its light, which mingled with the radiance emanating from the giant tower, making everything appear so dreamlike.

The giant tower also carried the aura of age, as if it were cast from steel, its entire body shimmering with a cold glow, its structure complex, having withstood countless years of wind and rain, yet still remaining sturdy.

Sakura had initially thought that the ancient rusty iron would groan and tremble, but only when she stood in front of it could she truly feel its magnificence and grandeur. Moreover, the giant tower did not seem to be made of metal; under the clear moonlight, its shimmering light became even more intense.

Is it raining?

Sakura's consciousness became slightly clearer.

She looked around at her surroundings, and a strange feeling welled up inside her. Her perspective was extremely peculiar, as if she could look down on the place.

She could even see her own body, standing blankly on a tall building.

"Why do I look so silly?"

Something was falling from the sky. When Sakura looked down, she realized it wasn't rain, but rather a series of playing cards, scattered across the sky.

"It's playing cards"

The cards were so densely packed that they resembled a torrential rain, falling from the distant sky in a flurry of motion.

Sakura looked to the side and found a familiar figure standing not far from her.

"Little Wang?"

Sakura also noticed that Tomoyo was standing on her other side, not far away.

"Tomoyo's here too? Who's that?"

When Sakura glanced in Wang Changsheng's direction again, she saw another boy standing on another building.

His dark green Taoist robe fluttered in the wind, and he wore a green hat on his head. Although he seemed to be about the same age as me, his attire gave him an air of composure.

At this moment, the person's lips opened and closed, as if reciting a mantra.

Upon seeing this stranger, Xiaoying instinctively wanted to move closer to Wang Changsheng, only to find that she couldn't move at all. Although her perspective was like that of God, allowing her to look down on the scene, she couldn't move an inch.

In other words, all she could do was watch.

Sakura didn't recognize the boy wearing the green hat, but she had a strange premonition that she would meet him soon.

"I feel like I had this feeling before I met Xiao Wang and Xiao Ke. Did I have a dream back then too?"

Sakura had long forgotten about this incident, but now that she's back in the dream, she suddenly remembers it.

The young man held a sword horizontally in front of him, his eyes sharp as the sword itself.

Just as Sakura was trying to get a clear look at the boy's face, he stopped chanting and suddenly leaped down from the sky, raising his sword to stab forward, his fierce momentum seemingly about to pierce through his target.

When Sakura tried to shift her gaze to see who the boy was about to attack, she suddenly felt the entire scene around her shatter.

All images disappeared.

Sakura felt as if her consciousness was plummeting from a great height, about to fall into some inexplicable chaos.

Just as Sakura was about to shout, she seemed to faintly hear a voice with an accent calling out in her ear.

"Sakura! Sakura!"

"Are you having a nightmare? Wake up!"

The accent of the shouts sounded somewhat familiar to Sakura, pulling her out of that inexplicable confusion.

Sakura had been feeling like she was experiencing sleep paralysis, unable to open her eyes, but now she suddenly opened them.

When I opened my eyes, a yellowish-brown face was right in front of me.

On that big face were two tiny, dark eyes, smaller than the smallest beans she had ever seen, which were now staring at her "affectionately".

Sakura noticed a hint of sadness in those eyes.

Before she could even process what was happening, her hand was already raised high.

"Snap"

It was accompanied by a crisp sound.

The little yellow thing was sent flying by his own flick.

"what!"

The thing that had been slapped away let out a scream and then swung leisurely in an arc in the air.

However, the little yellow thing did not fall to the ground, but instead remained suspended in mid-air at the same height as the bed.

"Huh?"

Now, Sakura was completely awake.

When her dark green eyes fell on Kero, who was staring at her resentfully from the bedside, Sakura waved her hands repeatedly, "Ah! Enough, enough!"

"Damn it!" Xiao Ke covered her left cheek with both hands, the resentment in her eyes practically palpable. "I saw you looking like you were having a nightmare and I was so worried about you, and then you slapped me... Waaaaah... ╭╮?!"

Hearing Xiao Ke's complaints, Xiao Ying was speechless and could only awkwardly grin and smile sheepishly.

She lifted the covers, sat up, leaned forward, pulled the little Kebab back from the bedside, hugged it, and gently rubbed its big head.

"I didn't mean to. I just had a really strange dream. When I woke up, I felt like I was sinking into nothingness. Luckily you woke me up."

Sakura held Kero in her arms as she fell into deep thought.

That dream I just had...

What was it again?

Why can't I remember all of a sudden...?

Oh dear, it's all Xiao Ke's fault for interrupting me like that!

Although Sakura felt very sorry for slapping Kero earlier, she couldn't recall the contents of the dream, most likely because she had been startled by Kero earlier.

"Qiudou Madai, what did you just say? You had a dream? What dream?"

Kero, who had been grumbling and complaining, immediately straightened up when he heard Sakura's words and climbed out of Sakura's arms.

"Huh? What dream..." Sakura scratched the back of her head when she saw Kero's tone suddenly become serious. Then, she glanced at Kero and shook her head: "I don't remember very well."

"What?!" Xiao Ke's eyes widened. "Didn't you just wake up? How come you don't remember? Let me tell you, people like you with magic powers often have dreams that are symbolic. You said that dream was strange, and after you woke up, it left you in some kind of void. It sounds like a precognitive dream, doesn't it? You need to remember it quickly!"

"A precognitive dream?" Sakura pursed her lips, frowned, and pondered for a moment. "If I had to think about it, the only thing I can remember is that I seemed to see a very huge tower, like the Tokyo Tower, but I can't be too sure. It seemed to be at night, and then..."

"And then?" Kero asked, looking at Sakura.

"And then... I don't really remember. Oh dear, I really can't recall it. I had some recollection when I woke up just now, but you startled me, and I forgot..." Sakura puffed out her cheeks.

"Huh? Wait a minute, I think I saw three more people!" Just as Keke was helplessly rubbing her forehead, speechless, Sakura suddenly remembered something else.

"Who's there?" Seeing Sakura make a sound again, Kero also quickly looked over.

"...They might be people I know. They feel very familiar. I don't remember the other two very clearly, but I do remember one of them wearing Chinese clothing. He was wearing a green hat." Sakura racked her brains in frustration, but after thinking for a long time, that was all she could think of.

"A green hat?"

"Chinese clothing?"

Sakura said so much, but Kero only managed to extract these two key pieces of information.

It craned its neck, trying to get closer to Sakura and continue asking questions.

Suddenly, a sound came from the doorway, and the next moment, with a "click," the bedroom door was opened.

The commotion came so suddenly that Xiao Ke felt like her heart was about to stop.

Its head was about to lean forward, but the next moment, its body suddenly stiffened, and its big head slammed straight into the blanket in front of Sakura.

Instantly transforms into a doll!

Sakura hurriedly hugged it back into her arms.

The bedroom door was pushed open from the outside, and a young man appeared.

The young man's eyes always carried a hint of coldness, and his expression was calm to the point of indifference, but there seemed to be a hint of worry in his eyes.

He pushed open the door but didn't come in. He just stood at the doorway, leaning half his body into the room, his brows furrowed as he looked at Sakura.

The young man had a very defined jawline; he was so handsome that he exuded a powerful aura that kept strangers at bay.

Sakura held Kero protectively in her arms, looking at the newcomer with a hint of fear, and cautiously called out, "Onii-chan, why didn't you knock before coming in!"

The person who arrived was none other than Sakura's older brother, Touya.

After opening the door, he first glanced at Sakura. Seeing that his foolish little sister was alright, he then seemed to want to confirm something, and his cold gaze swept across the entire bedroom.

Looking around, Touya said, "I think I heard you screaming just now. Were you having a nightmare?"

"Huh?" Hearing her older brother's words, Sakura scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "You heard me? It's nothing, I just had a dream, a weird one, kind of a nightmare."

Because Keroberos's body had already stiffened, Sakura helped it adjust its legs to a more comfortable position before placing it on the bedside table.

I never expected my silly older brother to worry about me, hehe (*∩_∩*)~

Sakura couldn't help but think to herself.

Although Touya listened to Sakura's words, he still carefully looked through every corner of the bedroom, as if he were looking for something.

After looking for a while and finding nothing, Touya breathed a slight sigh of relief, then pouted before replying to Sakura, "Had a nightmare, huh? No wonder. I was wondering who in the house could make a monster-like roar. It was you."

The moment Touya finished speaking, he withdrew half of his body that had been sticking in, and then slammed the door shut.

The movement was fluid and graceful, as if the person had anticipated what was about to happen.

In fact, his reaction was very quick, and he anticipated what would happen next.

Sakura was initially touched that her older brother was worried about whether she had a nightmare.

However, his words instantly shattered the tiny bit of emotion that was smaller than a fingernail in my heart.

Sakura stared with her beautiful dark green eyes, turned around, grabbed the pillow behind her, and threw it towards the door.

Her movements were fluid and graceful.

It looks like he's thrown it many times and is quite skilled at it.

But she didn't manage to hit her own idiot brother. The pillow landed on the doorknob and was stopped before falling to the ground.

Xiao Ke, sitting by the bed, went limp as soon as she saw the door close.

"Oh my god, that was terrifying... It happened so suddenly, my leg is about to cramp up..."

Before Xiao Ke could catch her breath, she heard another noise from the doorway, followed by a crisp "click".

The bedroom door was pushed open again.

"!!!"

Xiao Ke felt her heart stop again.

Its back, which had just bent down, straightened up again, and it quickly controlled the expression on its face, raising its two little arms straight to the sides.

"I am a doll without feelings..."

"I am a doll without feelings..."

"I am a doll without feelings..."

Xiao Ke kept repeating these words to herself, forcing herself to calm down.

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Touya saw Sakura, who was glaring at him fiercely after he threw the pillow so hard that he had been thrown to the foot of the bed, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"What else do you want to do!" Sakura was furious at Touya's smug smile, grinding her little fangs in a cute but fierce way.

"The monster's head is steaming!"

"I, you, you..."

Sakura was so angry that she wanted to grab something else and throw it at Touya.

Seeing that she was looking for something again, Touya chuckled and was about to close the door: "Breakfast is ready, come down and eat."

After saying that, Touya was about to close the door.

However, before he closed the door completely, a pair of sharp eyes looked towards Xiao Ke, who was sitting stiffly on the headboard.

"???"

Xiao Ke was startled. The back of her head was covered in cold sweat, and her entire back was soaked. She still didn't dare to move.

"Aren't you leaving yet? What else do you want to do!" There was nothing left to smash on the bed, and Sakura didn't want to throw the blanket on the floor, so she angrily threw off the blanket completely and climbed out of bed in her pajamas.

After staring at Keroberos for a while, Touya finally closed the door.

The gaze that had been making Xiao Ke feel like she was sitting on pins and needles was finally cut off.

"Hmph, I'm not a monster!" Sakura was still fuming.
