Chapter 30: A Gift from Tomoyo

Page 1/3

Xiao Ke puckered its lips.
But no matter what, since Ye Hui was able to successfully return the Clow Card, it meant one less worry.
Finally, Xiao Ke hummed twice and muttered, “I’m not a magician… but still, thank you, little brat!”
Sakura didn’t really take the Clow Cards seriously.
However, Xiao Ke regarded Sakura as the true successor of Clow Reed and had been hoping she would collect more cards.
Ye Hui glanced sideways at Xiao Ke, somewhat surprised.
He hadn’t expected such a stubborn temper from Xiao Ke to soften toward him.
At that moment, Xiao Ke thought to itself:
“If Ye Hui can truly see the cards, then that means there must be another card somewhere in Sakura’s home…”
It decided to look for it once they returned.
Just then, Tomoyo took out an electronic device from her backpack and handed it to Sakura first.
“Oh, here, this is for you!”
It was a pink mobile phone.
Sakura took it and examined it.
“It’s such a cute communicator!”
Tomoyo explained, “The one we used yesterday broke, so this time I brought a new product from my mother’s company. It’s a gift for you…”
Then, she took out two more, handing them to Ye Hui and Xiao Ke.
Ye Hui took it, looking at the color of the phone.
His mouth twitched slightly. “Thank you, Tomoyo, but this seems to be pink!”
[Tomoyo Daidouji’s Affection +6]
Tomoyo pursed her lips, a gentle smile in her eyes. “Sorry, Ye Hui, there aren’t other colors for this communicator yet.”
Really?
Ye Hui was doubtful.
But since Tomoyo said so, he couldn’t outright question her and just nodded.
“Alright then.”
Though the color didn’t quite suit his style.
Still, for this era, this device was quite advanced!
This kind of mobile phone resembled the “brick phones” Ye Hui had heard about from his previous life, only a bit more compact.
He remembered that when phones first appeared, they had antennas.
This must be the transitional product between those brick phones and modern mobile phones.
In just four years, technology had evolved from this level of mobile phone to the era of smartphones...
Thinking about this still felt surreal to Ye Hui!
“This one is for Xiao Ke, and I also have one for myself with the same color—cherry blossom pink…”
Tomoyo’s tone was gentle.
Xiao Ke looked at the large phone in front of him, eyes sparkling with excitement.
“Can I have one too?”

“Of course!”
Tomoyo replied.
“Yay!!!”
Xiao Ke immediately flew around the big pink phone thirty times before collapsing to the ground, clutching the phone tightly in both hands.
“Crazy…”
Ye Hui glanced at him, mouth twitching, but finally decided to try accepting the pink color.
Hearing just “pink” made Ye Hui feel a bit strange.
But when described as cherry blossom color, it suddenly felt much more natural...
Seeing everyone accept the phones, Sakura hesitated slightly. “Um... can I borrow it?”
Without hesitation, Tomoyo replied, “Of course! It’s okay if it breaks! I have more here!”
Ye Hui blinked beside her, impressed by Tomoyo’s sharpness and kindness.
Sakura’s hesitation was understandable.
After all, this new product looked quite expensive.
When she heard Tomoyo wanted to give it to her, she wasn’t sure if she should accept it.
Tomoyo sensed Sakura’s unspoken concerns and explained that her mother wanted to know how everyone felt after using the device, so it was a small gift.
They were essentially testing Daidouji family products...
Only then did Sakura smile and nod.
Ye Hui didn’t overthink it.
He knew Tomoyo’s intentions were pure—just wanting to give her friends a little gift!
“Thank you, Tomoyo, I really like this gift. I’ll also keep detailed notes about my experience using it!”
[Tomoyo Daidouji’s Affection +6]
Tomoyo’s eyes curved into crescent moons with a smile. “That’s good to hear. Actually, other colors are being prepared, too. If you don’t like this one, I can bring you another later.”
Such generosity was almost overwhelming.
Ye Hui’s eyes widened. “There are other colors?”
“Since it’s a new product, various colors will be released for people to try so we can understand everyone’s preferences before mass production...”
Tomoyo asked Ye Hui if he wanted to switch.
Ye Hui hesitated for a moment, then sighed, “No, I’ll keep this one. Since we’re a team, our gear should match, and even Xiao Ke’s is pink...”
[Tomoyo Daidouji’s Affection +8]
Ye Hui shook his head in private.
Pink is pink!
Anyway, many boys secretly have a soft spot for pink!
Of course, he was only thinking this to leave a good impression on Tomoyo, not because he himself had a girlish heart...
The next day.
Ye Hui and Tomoyo chatted on their pink phones.
She told him that Sakura was going to attend Rika’s piano recital today.

So she didn’t go to the aquarium with Yukito after all...
Ye Hui smiled softly.
The three’s school life had once again returned to calm.
From time to time, Ye Hui would join Tomoyo and the others for lunch.
Tomoyo sometimes shared trivial stories about the choir and talked about her new songs.
Ye Hui could bring up some intriguing music theory and beautiful melodies for her.
This made Tomoyo feel closer to him.
Sakura occasionally told Ye Hui about the magic skills she had learned and what she had done with the Clow Cards.
Xiao Ke, however, constantly compared Ye Hui’s cooking skills with Sakura’s.
While shamelessly begging Ye Hui to cook delicious food, it drooled and nagged by Sakura’s ear every day.
And then Sakura would nag Ye Hui in response...
As for the time after school every day,
Ye Hui temporarily set aside his side jobs and focused on training.
However, as he trained daily after school,
Ye Hui gradually noticed that the moisture in the air seemed to be increasing...
“Strange, this can’t be caused by my breathing exercises, can it?”
Ye Hui was very puzzled.
He mentioned this to Sakura during a call.
Sakura asked Xiao Ke about it.
But it couldn’t give a clear answer.
Still, Xiao Ke believed it had nothing to do with Ye Hui.
“Haha, someone’s too arrogant. Even though I don’t understand cultivation, I know that magic which directly changes the weather isn’t something a beginner can do...”
[Keruberos’s Affection +13]
A proud voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ye Hui gritted his teeth.
Unable to figure out the situation, he gradually relaxed and stopped overthinking.
As the moisture in the surrounding air continued to rise, one day it suddenly began to rain...
The heavy rains in Tomoeda Town lasted for several days.
“No way, I just got the Water Spirit Root and started training, and it’s really raining now? Is Xiao Ke’s judgment accurate?”
Ye Hui doubted himself again.
Raindrops fell on his forehead, cool to the touch.
He stretched out his hand.
Under his subconscious control, “Water Manipulation” activated.
In his palm, the dense moisture in the air gathered and condensed into mist droplets...
He channeled his spiritual energy, turning the mist into raindrops that drifted slowly through the air...
