Kinoshita’s Guide to Raising a Childhood Friend

[Thank you, dearies, for supporting the official release. Muah!]

Having inexplicably returned more than a decade into the past, Touya stood expressionlessly in his family’s library and reached out to grab the lion plushie poking out of the magic book, stuffing it back inside.

“Wait, wait, wait, young man, don’t you want to become someone chosen by magic and gain great power?!”

Touya (▼-▼): “No.”

After tying up the glowing magic book that kept struggling and putting it away, Touya was about to leave when he remembered Yue, who would nearly vanish several years later due to insufficient magic, and the Moon hanging beneath the tower, wings spread as it gazed down at him.

He stood silently in place for a long while before turning around and walking back.

With one tug, he pulled the winged plushie out of the magic book.

Ever since her brother gave Sakura a lion plushie, she kept seeing her working brother in all sorts of places.

Sakura: My brother really does have endless energy…

Kero, who had seen a certain man tear a water sign in half with his bare hands, forced out an awkward laugh: He probably just has too much magic bottled up… Ha, haha.

Yukito, smiling brightly after finishing an entire box of sushi, said: This is so delicious~

Touya calmly brought over two large plates and casually ran a hand through Yukito’s silver hair. “Would you like to go to the archery range tomorrow?”

★ Cardcaptor Sakura has been changed to Touya, who is the pursuer.

★ The entire work is 1v1. [Yukito and Yue are one person. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, his personality naturally has two sides, similar to dissociative identities, and the personalities do not merge.] There is no love triangle or any other strange relationship. The logic and personal settings are mine. The content warnings are clearly listed: [If you dislike this, do not enter] [If you dislike this, do not enter] [If you dislike this, do not enter]. Just right-click and leave; there is no need to comment. [No writing advice, please.] Solo fans, please do not leave comments below this work. It is truly very rude!!!!

★ Sakura and Syaoran will not be separated. Sakura’s magic has other arrangements.

★ This is a single Cardcaptor world. There will be no Clear Card arc and no crossovers with other anime. Please be sure to read the warnings in the author’s note of Chapter One carefully.

Advance Preview for the Cat Story: "Me, a Tabby Cat, Comforting a Siberian Tiger?"

Jiang Ye was reborn as a tabby cat.

He had no owner, came and went freely, and ruled a territory too vast to see the boundaries of. Every day, he woke on a three-meter-sixty stone bed, surrounded by a gang of underlings. He was a tabby cat with tattooed-biker-boss energy.

Jiang Ye kept himself sleek and glossy, with a body packed with muscle. Whenever he strutted through the streets, he was mighty and imposing.

As a cat with a plan and a high IQ, Jiang Ye sensibly arranged which windowsills would serve as his breakfast, lunch, and dinner cafeterias for all seven days of the week.

When he occasionally craved a snack, he also accepted jobs helping humans find their pet cats, earning a little extra food.

Though his territory was vast, Jiang Ye especially loved patrolling around the zoo. Not for any other reason than the meat there was genuinely delicious.

Until one day, the zoo director tried to bribe Jiang Ye into taking a part-time job.

Panda-special milk and fresh-meat salad: both were delicacies Jiang Ye had tasted once and never stopped thinking about.

But

Jiang Ye looked at the fierce-eyed Siberian tiger in the cage, and his confidently raised tail gradually drooped.

It wasn’t that the big boss was afraid, obviously. A tattooed-biker boss wasn’t even afraid of a honey badger!

But still…

Jiang Ye looked at his reflection in the glass.

Comforting a Siberian tiger?

Him?

Jiang Ye tried to refuse.

But the zoo was offering far too much.

Unable to resist, Jiang Ye steeled himself, raised his head and puffed out his chest, then lifted a paw and walked into the tiger enclosure.

The Siberian tiger, restrained by specially made chains and a bite guard, looked at the tabby cat before him, blood still dripping from its wounds.

The clearly underage cub, radiating the scent of spiritual power from head to toe, cautiously approached him and opened its mouth to say

“Be good, big bro’s got you covered!”
