Chapter 260 Going on a vacation to Moonshadow Island

Chapter 253: Going on vacation to Moonshadow Island?

Yuanmei stood up, ready to leave, but then suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to look at Xiaoying and Wang Changsheng.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I almost forgot to mention."

Tomoyo looked up and asked, "What's wrong, Mom?"

"After today's meeting and the signing of the contract, we should have everything sorted out within the next week. Then, after you all have some time to rest, how about we go on a trip?"

Yuanmei's voice rang in their ears.

Not to mention Wang Changsheng, even Zhi Shi didn't expect that his mother would suddenly want to take them on a trip.

So she couldn't help but ask, "Mom, are you sure you have time to go on a trip?"

"Of course!" Sonomi chuckled at Tomoyo's words. "The most important thing is today's meeting. I can handle most other things at the company without showing up, so I can spend time with you and your friends to relax. It's been a long time since we went on a trip, hasn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Tomoyo didn't speak, but instead fell silent.

Indeed, she and her mother hadn't gone out for a very long time.

The last time they went on a trip together must have been two years ago, right?

Yuanmei is usually very busy.

Tomoyo also wants to spend more time with Sakura.

However, since Mom invited Sakura over this time as well, that's a good thing.

Thinking of this, Zhi Shi nodded in agreement, then glanced at Wang Changsheng and asked, "Changsheng, can I go too?"

"Of course you can. As long as they are your friends, you can invite as many as you like. It's more fun to go out with more people." Yuan Mei nodded naturally, then glanced at Wang Changsheng, who was well-behaved and quiet during the meal, with a personality like a gentle little girl.

This child is quite well-behaved, and she looks a bit like Nadeshiko; she likes her quite a bit.

If it weren't for Xiaoying being there, she would definitely have talked to Wang Changsheng more.

After all, who wouldn't love such an adorable child?

His quiet and shy personality, in particular, is even more like that of Nadeshiko.

Wang Changsheng felt Yuan Mei's gaze and was momentarily stunned.

Wait, why are we suddenly talking about traveling again?

Wang Changsheng racked his brains for a long time, but couldn't recall any scene of Yuanmei taking everyone on a trip.

In other words, this is either a plot point that wasn't shown in the anime, or it's because his appearance caused some changes in the plot.

"But that doesn't make sense. I remember they sat down together for a meal and chatted in the anime, right? How come the story changed just because I sat down and ate here too?"

Wang Changsheng expressed disbelief.

Sure enough, the next second Yuanmei explained, "My secretary told me that there's a small island that seems perfect for a vacation. It's actually quite hard to find. He only found out about it because a relative of his went there once. It's a rare spot that isn't crowded. We can go there and relax in peace and quiet without being disturbed."

"It seems like a really nice place." Sakura nodded.

Wang Changsheng was also somewhat surprised. There were unknown but very interesting little islands around this island nation?

That is indeed quite rare.

Just then, Tomoyo asked her mother sweetly, "Does it take a long time to go to and from that island?"

Clearly, Tomoyo felt that there shouldn't be any unknown but very fun islands around here; if there were, they should have been discovered long ago.

Therefore, she guessed that the island her mother mentioned must be somewhere quite far away from them.

However, she doesn't really want to go if it's too far.

After all, there isn't much time to rest during holidays, and traveling back and forth for too long would be too rushed.

That kind of travel would be very tiring, and she didn't want Sakura and Changsheng to be so tired just because of her invitation; she would feel very bad about it.

"It doesn't take long by boat, about two hours. It's just a bit out of the way. I'm not sure exactly where it is, but I'll ask when I get back to the company."

Sonoko glanced at the time, then smiled and looked at Tomoyo and the others.

"I heard that island is called Moonshadow Island. Isn't it a nice name?"

Upon hearing this, Sakura nodded sheepishly.

"Just from the name, I can tell that place will be a lot of fun." Sono Mi waved her hand at the others. "Alright, you guys go have fun. I'm going back to the company first. I'll talk to Tomoyo about the details when I get back. You can discuss it properly when you go to school tomorrow and see if you're willing to go. If you are..."

Yuanmei glanced upwards, pondering, "As for the boat, our family's ship will probably be occupied for a while. Renting one seems like a lot of trouble. Maybe we should just buy another one."

In less than two seconds, she made her decision.

"Okay, that's settled then. I'll head back to the office now."

Sonomi acted swiftly and decisively, giving the three children almost no chance to respond. In the end, they could only watch Sonomi's figure disappear into the distance.

However, the bombshell news she dropped left Wang Changsheng and the others stunned.

Moonshadow Island? ??

Wang Changsheng blinked repeatedly.

"I must have heard correctly, right? Tomoyo's mom must have been talking about that island, right?"

This place was very familiar to him.

He had previously been at an art museum when a painting caught his attention.

He later asked Director Ochiai, but didn't get many clues.

To his surprise, he learned about Moonshadow Island from Sonoko.

After Tomoyo's mother left, Tomoyo called her maid to clear the table, and then led Wang Changsheng and Sakura across the wooden bridge back into the house.

When going through the back door and up the stairs.

Sakura smiled as she thought of Sonomi: "Tomoyo-chan, your mom is so sweet!"

Hearing Sakura praise her mother, Tomoyo smiled slightly: "Arigato, Mom would be so happy if she knew you liked her."

Wang Changsheng was still thinking about Moonshadow Island and silently followed behind the two girls, so he didn't notice that Tomoyo had taken Sakura's hand in hers and glanced at him slightly.

Seeing that he didn't react, she turned her head away and continued talking to Sakura.

The three of them walked to the bedroom door, and Tomoyo opened it.

"Swish"

Then, at that moment, a shadow flashed by, and then a big, round, yellow head appeared in front of them.

"You're finally back! You guys seemed really happy eating cake just now?"

Xiao Ke stared wide-eyed.

Although its eyes were small, Wang Changsheng could still clearly see the emotions conveyed in its gaze when they were face to face.

"Why that look? Are you trying to eat someone?" Wang Changsheng glanced at it.

"Tch, you smell awful, I'm not going to eat you." Xiao Ke rolled her eyes decisively.

There wasn't a single negative point about this, which clearly shows that the two of them didn't take each other's words to heart at all.

Upon seeing this, Wang Changsheng narrowed his eyes.

He noticed that as the two argued more and more often, Xiao Ke was starting to feel rough and tough from his constant rubbing.

Ordinary friendly exchanges no longer yield much benefit.

This is not a good thing.

Xiao saw that Wang Changsheng didn't speak, so he ignored him and waited until all three of them went inside before closing the door.

"I saw you guys eating cake!" Xiao Ke continued, her eyes wide. "And you ate lots and lots of delicious food too!"

Tomoyo's bedroom faces the lake, and one of the windows offers a view of the wooden pavilion over the water.

That's why Xiao Ke knew exactly what they ate.

"Didn't I leave you some food before I left?" Wang Changsheng was speechless at this glutton.

"Those skewers weren't enough at all; they were gone in no time, one bite at a time!"

Xiao Ke said she hadn't had enough to eat at all, "And you all had cake to eat, and so much delicious food, chatting and laughing, you seemed so happy... but I can only sit here all alone eating skewers."

(??¨?)?? After saying that, Xiao Ke pressed his big face against Xiao Ying's again.

"Sakura-chan, you ate so much cake by yourself, weren't you happy? That cake must have been delicious, right? Right?"

Seeing Keroberos's resentful expression, Sakura couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Um, Kero..." Sakura was about to say something when Kero interrupted her, his resentment deepening.

"I've been watching you all this time... right here in this room, always!"

Sakura: "???..."

"Snap"

Just then, a crisp slap rang out. It turned out that Wang Changsheng had slapped Xiao Ke on the head.

"Alright, stop howling. If someone finds out, they'll think we're slaughtering a pig."

Xiao Ke: ".?."

Message: Your sudden friendly interaction left me momentarily bewildered.

Message: You have acquired a Level 1 magical creature—a shark bee!

Message: This magical creature has been added to the All-Heavens Friendly Exchange Shop, priced at 888 Negative Points per creature.

Message: Negative points from Cerberus +999

Stupid...shark bee?

Upon seeing the system's prompt, Wang Changsheng was stunned, momentarily unable to comprehend what kind of magical creature it was.

This name is so bizarre!

Upon reading the system introduction of this thing again, Wang Changsheng fell silent.

shark bee

Description: A type of honey that likes to eat meat, with the body of a shark and the tail of a bee.

Ability: It can retain the essence of the meat it eats, thus creating a very delicious honey sauce with a natural meaty aroma. Eating it can replenish a lot of energy.

P.S.: It also has several other names, such as Bee Shark, Shark Bee, etc., and you can also affectionately call it Little Shark Bee~

Wang Changsheng: "..."

Just as Wang Changsheng was somewhat bewildered, wondering how such a bizarre and outrageous magical creature could exist in the world, Xiao Ke's deliberately lowered voice rang in his ear: "You brat, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll..."

Wang Changsheng glanced at it, snatched the cake from Xiaoying's hand, and placed it in front of it: "What are you going to do about it?"

"I'll just bear with it."

Looking at the cake that looked expensive, Xiao Ke smelled the aroma of cake and cream wafting from her nose, but before she could finish speaking, she swallowed all the words she wanted to say.

"Pfft"

Sakura, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Tomoyo covered her mouth and smiled gently.

"Give it to me now!"

Xiao Ke grabbed the small box from Wang Changsheng's hand with both hands, snatched the piece of cake that the others had left over, and then eagerly flew to the table and sat down, quickly tearing open the cake box.

"Wow! It smells so good!" Xiao Ke's eyes lit up the moment she opened it.

It must be said, this is indeed a very good cake.

Sakura opened her mouth, wanting to remind Kero that she had smoothed the cake bit by bit with her own cake-eating spoon, otherwise it wouldn't be so smooth.

However, Xiao Ke had already taken a spoon, scooped up a piece of cake, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Seeing this, Sakura awkwardly shut her mouth.

"Never mind, Xiao Ke loves to eat so much, she probably won't mind, right?"

Sakura glanced discreetly at the spoon that Kero was using.

This is also the spoon she used...

"Burp~"

Xiao Ke finished the cake in just a few bites.

It patted its belly contentedly.

Wang Changsheng had actually left quite a bit of barbecue for it.

After eating its fill, it was actually quite full.

With the cake that Sakura had specially saved for it, which wasn't too small, Kero was finally satisfied.

After finishing the cake, it leisurely addressed the three, "Tomoyo, did you ask Sakura and this brat to call me over too? Is it because the Clow Disc is bothering you and causing you some trouble?"

"What?!" Sakura was taken aback upon hearing Kero's words. "Clow Cards?"

"That's right, it's the Clow Cards." Kero nodded. "I sensed the presence of the Clow Cards in Tomoyo's bedroom."

When Zhi Shi heard Xiao Ke's words, she didn't show any particular surprise, much like Wang Chang Sheng.

She simply nodded slightly: "Since you say so, Xiao Ke, it seems that you think the same way I do."

Sakura blinked, looked at Tomoyo, then at Kero, and remained silent.

"Here's what happened."

Tomoyo walked toward a locker.

She took out a square box from inside, and then held the box in front of the group.

"Something that's been bothering me lately is related to this box."

"This is..." Sakura looked at Tomoyo.

"This is a box," Tomoyo replied earnestly.

"..."

Sakura choked a little and almost choked on her own saliva.

Wang Changsheng almost burst out laughing, and asked Zhi Shi, "What's wrong? Can't you open it?"

Chise nodded: "Yes, no matter what I've tried recently, I haven't been able to open it."
