"It's all thanks to your help." "I really troubled you before."
She bowed slightly to Takumi in gratitude.
"It's really because your spices are top quality." "Otherwise, the deal wouldn't have gone through so easily." "No need for thanks. Come on, let's go inside."
Takumi ushered her indoors instead of lingering in the hallway.
Tomoyo nodded and followed him inside. Only a few people were home.
Bronya was sitting in the living room, playing on her terminal. She gave a small nod to Takumi but remained focused on her device.
Ram and Rem were in the kitchen, clearly working on something aromatic. Likely experimenting with the new spices Tomoyo had brought.
Takumi and Tomoyo sat down and began chatting. Looking at her, Takumi grew curious.
"By the way, Tomoyodo you know Sakura?"
He'd been meaning to ask for a while now.
Bronya looked over with interest upon hearing the question. Was this sp guy eyeing someone new again?
Of course, Bronya knew who Sakura was.
Tomoyo blinked at the name.
"Sakura? Of course I do!" "We're very close friends." "Why do you ask? Are you interested in meeting her?"
She didn't understand why Takumi suddenly brought up Sakura. But thinking of her current condition, Tomoyo's heart stirred. Maybe Takumi could help.
"You already know a lot about our world, right?" "Naturally, that includes Sakura." "From what I know, you and she are best friends."
Takumi smiled.
Tomoyo nodded.
"Yes... we're very close!" "But Sakura's situation is a bit tricky right now." "If possible, I'd like to ask for your help."
She spoke seriously.
Takumi immediately perked up.
"Tell me more?"
Sakura's situation wasn't good?
"Her powers awakened, and as a result, her memories turned into feathers and scattered across different dimensions." "She's been in a coma since."
Tomoyo sighed.
It was a troublesome matter. Her memory feathers had flown into alternate dimensions.
But for Takumi, that might be a simple task.
He understood immediately.
"So, we just need to retrieve the feathers, right?" "That's easy. I'll come with you." "Plus, I'm quite curious about some folks in your worldlike Clow Reed or interdimensional magic."
Takumi rubbed his chin.
This was a perfect excuse to visitand maybe meet the younger versions of Tomoyo and Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura.
The plan was set.
Tomoyo's eyes lit up.
"Great! Then let's head to my world together!"
She agreed instantly. This was perfect.
As for meeting those peoplewell, that would be easy.
"Bronya, are you coming too?"
Seeing Tomoyo agree, Takumi looked over and asked.
"Of course."
Bronya rolled her eyes.
Of course she'd go. No way she was missing this. Anyone Takumi was interested in, she wanted to meet too.
Especially the original Moe Queen.
She'd thought Takumi had forgotten about all this, but clearly, he hadn't.
She was curious too.
With the decision made, they began preparations.
Takumi called out to Ram and Rem, then headed out with Tomoyo and Bronya.
Currently, many people from Takumi's world had traveled to the neighboring dimensionMiori Shiba included.
Maybe they'd been cooped up too long and wanted a real fight.
That's why the house was empty.
Only Bronya hadn't joined them. She wasn't really into fighting. Otherwise, she'd be out there too.
After all, the neighboring world was incredibly appealing.
Most people had gone there to battle or... claim territory.
Chapter 519: This Ones Simple
Takumi brought Tomoyo and Bronya through a teleportation gate to Tomoyo's world.
In just a few days, development in Tomoyo's world had already begun. Countless industrial robots were assisting in the construction efforts. These were all support units sent over from Takumi's side.
Many of the original buildings in Tomoyo's country had already begun being demolished to make way for new structures. Before long, the entire capital city would likely be rebuilt. Of course, some buildings would be preservedlike the palace where Tomoyo resided.
Other less significant structures would be torn down without issue, but Tomoyo's palace would definitely be preserved. All of this had been discussed with her people, and the plans had long been finalized. Both sides were very satisfied with the arrangement.
"Where is Sakura living now?"
After surveying the current state of development, Takumi turned to ask Tomoyo.
In response, Tomoyo opened her terminal and pulled up a real-time map of the city. This system had been set up with the help of Prometheus. By now, there were countless satellites in Tomoyo's world. A map like this was nothing special.
"Here," she pointed. "It's a bit faron the other side of the city."
Takumi glanced at the map and instantly opened a spatial portal to the location.
On the other side was Sakura's house.
Seeing this, Tomoyo's eyes lit up and she followed Takumi immediately. Bronya trailed right behind them.
The three arrived at the Kinomoto household. Tomoyo quickly stepped up and knocked on the door.
Sakura's home was quite large. Even from the outside, it was clear her family was wealthy. They were among the elite in Tomoyo's nation.
Soon, a maid opened the door. She instantly recognized Tomoyo.
"Princess!!"
The maid quickly bowed. She hadn't expected Tomoyo to show up in person, especially during such a busy time. Everyone knew that this world was now connected to others. For Tomoyo to visit now was a surprise.
"I've come to see Sakura," Tomoyo said kindly. "And I've brought someone who can help her."
Tomoyo remained warm and polite even to a maid.
Hearing this, the maid's face lit up with joy.
"Really? That's wonderful! Princess, esteemed guestsplease, come in!"
Not daring to delay, she hurriedly led them inside. Their young lady might finally have a chance to be saved.
Guided by the maid, the three arrived at Sakura's room. The other maids in the house had already heard the news and rushed out to greet them. Oddly, Sakura's brother and father weren't home.
Takumi couldn't help but ask, "Are none of Sakura's family members here?"
Tomoyo smiled and explained, "Her older brother is one of my ministers. He's currently away."
With that, Takumi understood. Everyone in this world was likely very busy these days.
"I see."
Because of Tomoyo's status, the maids quickly brought the trio into Sakura's room.
On the bed lay a real-life Sleeping Beauty. Takumi could sense that Sakura was now like a blank canvasall color had vanished from her.
If he could wake her, then he could freely paint his own colors onto her.
Looking at Sakura, Takumi was intrigued. So, her powers had become so overwhelming that she lost all her memories? And those memories had turned into feathers that scattered across other dimensions.
To restore her, they'd need to collect those feathers. Tomoyo could have done it, but her sudden transfer to Takumi's world had delayed everything. No matterTakumi could handle it now.
"Well?" Tomoyo looked at him with hopeful eyes.
In her heart, Takumi was practically omnipotent. If he could shift entire worlds, surely reviving Sakura would be easy.
"Simple," Takumi replied. Then he got to work.
Activating his own power, he used Tomoyo's aura to trace and summon Sakura's feathers scattered across dimensions.
As Takumi's power activated, Tomoyo's entire world began to tremble.
Some feathers were already in the possession of others, but now they were being summoned away by Takumi's force.
One by one, feathers vanished from various people's hands. Those who witnessed it were stunnedsuch overwhelming power, capable of acting across worlds. Some didn't even know what happened before the feathers were gone.
Back in Sakura's room, feathers began to materialize in the air, floating gently above the bed.
Seeing this, the maids were ecstatic.
Yes, these were the feathers! When their young lady had released her power, these were the very feathers that had drifted from her and disappeared. Now, they were returning.
Overwhelmed with excitement, the maids grew teary-eyed.
Takumi summoned back every last feather. Once all were gathered, he guided them into Sakura's body.
One by one, the feathers merged with her. The effect was immediate.
Not long after, Sakura's eyes slowly opened.
She looked disoriented, as if waking from a long dream. Her body felt stiff.
"You're awake!" Takumi said cheerfully. "Congratulations! You've become a cute little boy."
Hearing this, Sakura's eyes widened in alarm. She sat up abruptly and began checking herself in a panic.
Poking and prodding various parts of her body, she quickly realized nothing had changed.
"Liar!!"
Relieved, she pouted in irritation.
But she soon noticed Takumi and blinked in confusion.
"Eh? Who are you?"
She didn't recognize him. At the same time, she spotted Tomoyo.
"Sakura, you're finally awake! I'm so glad you're okay."
Seeing Sakura return to consciousness, Tomoyo's smile blossomed brightly.
Nothing could have made her happierSakura had finally awakened.
As expected, bringing Takumi was the right decision. He didn't disappoint her.
Perhaps... she could believe in him forever.
Chapter 520: Young Tomoyo and Sakura Are Filming
Sakura paused for a moment upon hearing Tomoyo's words.
"Tomoyo..."
Looking at Tomoyo, Sakura had a confused expression. What had happened to her? And who was this person named Takumi? And who was this silver-haired beauty?
For a moment, several question marks popped into Sakura's mind.
"I'm Takumi~!" Takumi grinned.
"You fell unconscious and lost your memory because your powers awakened. Normally, you wouldn't have been able to wake up unless your memory fragments were recovered from other worlds. But now, I've already retrieved all of them."
As he spoke, Takumi silently opened the group chat and took a photo of Sakura.
Takumi: [Image] [Adult Sakura!]
Bronya glanced at Takumi with slight disdain upon seeing his little stunt in the group chat.
Fujiwara Chika: (pwq) Sakura's all grown up, so pretty!!
Sagiri: Ahhh, the first-generation moe queen!!
Nyaruko: Where are you guys? Can you take me along?
Takumi: Magical girls don't like tentacle monsters. Please stay away, thank you!!
Upon seeing Nyaruko's message, Takumi immediately rejected her with disdain, then closed the group chat and focused his attention on Sakura.
Whatever those guys were saying in the group didn't matter to Takumi. He just wanted to share Sakura's presence.
After listening to Takumi's explanation, Sakura slowly began to remember. A powerful force had erupted within her, and she'd lost consciousnesslike falling asleepand it felt like she had been asleep for a very long time.
"Is that so... hmm..."
Sakura looked troubled. Her eyes turned to Tomoyo.
"Did I cause trouble for you, Tomoyo?"
Tomoyo quickly shook her head.
"Not at all. You don't need to worry about it."
Hearing this, Sakura nodded but silently made a mental note to ask about it later. She knew what kind of person Tomoyo was. Even if she had caused trouble, Tomoyo would still say otherwise. That was just how gentle she was.
Sakura's gaze shifted to Takumi.
"May I ask who you are? Could you tell me your name?"
This person should be the one who saved her, but she didn't know his name yet.
"Takumi!"
Takumi replied cheerfully.
"Takumi, is it? Hello! I'm Kinomoto Sakura. Nice to meet you. And this sister here?"
After memorizing Takumi's name, Sakura turned her attention to Bronya.
"Bronya."
Bronya calmly answered.
"Great! I'll remember that!"
Sakura smiled brightly. Takumi had saved her, so of course, she would remember his name.
"Sakura, a lot has happened during your sleep. Let me tell you about it."
Tomoyo sat at the bedside, gently fixed Sakura's hair, and began recounting all that had happened while she sleptincluding the connections to other worlds.
Listening to Tomoyo's narration, Sakura was dumbfounded.
"Was I asleep for hundreds of years or something?"
She felt like the entire world had changed in one nap.
"Not at all~! You've only been asleep for two months."
Tomoyo chuckled. Sakura's reaction was just too adorable.
"Ehh... but it felt like I was asleep for centuries."
Sakura was filled with distress. She began to wonderif she kept sleeping, would the whole world turn completely unfamiliar to her?
Truthfully, her guess wasn't far off. Even within just a month, Tomoyo's nation had already undergone massive changes.
Everyone laughed at Sakura's remark.
"Alright, Sakura's situation is settled. Next, I'm going to meet the younger versions of you two. Want to come along?"
Takumi looked at the two and extended the invitation.
Tomoyo quickly responded,
"Sakura just woke up, so she shouldn't go. Let her rest at home. Her brother should be back soon. We'll take her next time."
Tomoyo made the decision for Sakura. Now wasn't the right time for her to go out.
Sakura looked puzzled. See her younger self?
She turned a curious gaze toward Tomoyo.
Seeing this, Tomoyo began to explain the situation. After understanding, Sakura blinked.
"Another me? I really want to go..."
Sakura was clearly interested. Maybe she could even meet a young Tomoyo too.
"You'll have a chance in the future. The portal is only here now, but if Takumi wants, he can build one in that world too. Then we can visit anytime. If not, I can use my power to take you there. I've grown much stronger now."
Tomoyo reassured her. Right now, she just wanted Sakura to rest well.
In Takumi's world, only one portal had been built here. Most other worlds probably weren't even aware of what was happening. Only those capable of traveling between worlds knew the truth.
Sakura understood Tomoyo's intentions and nodded.
"Alright then! If I went now, that idiot brother of mine would definitely worry. Next time!"
She was understanding and didn't insist on going.
Tomoyo nodded.
"Good~! I'll take you next time."
After calming Sakura, Tomoyo took her leave. She called a maid to take care of Sakura and informed her brother that Sakura had awakened.
Once everything was settled, Tomoyo, Takumi, and Bronya left.
After departing from Sakura's home, Takumi activated the portal to another parallel world. Locating the world of Cardcaptor Sakura was an easy task for him.
By the time the three appeared again, they had already arrived at their destination.
