Chapter 645 "Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle"

"Here we come!" A voice came from the other side of the portal that appeared before Jerry and Yuuko.

At the entrance of the villa courtyard, Jerry sensed unusual spatial fluctuations, signaling the arrival of the fellow travelers Yuuko had entrusted him to protect.

As anticipated, the first magical array in the yard illuminated three seconds later, and two figures materialized after a burst of white light.

The pair consisted of a boy and a girl, both around fourteen or fifteen years old. The girl appeared unconscious, and the man held her with a worried expression on his face.

Upon scrutinizing their faces, Jerry hesitated initially, but his eyes widened in recognition, "Syaoran? Sakura?"

Although they seemed familiar at first glance, a closer inspection revealed that these weren't Li Syaoran and Kinomoto Sakura.

However, compared to the eleven-year-old Syaoran and Sakura from Cardcaptor Elementary School, the individuals before him now were significantly older and likely in high school.

This age difference was the reason for his initial confusion.

"They aren't the Syaoran and Sakura you're familiar with; they're from different worlds. Every person you know in the original world will lead different lives in alternate dimensions. As you continue your travels through the dimensional world, you'll encounter various versions of them. It's just a chance meeting.

However, their souls remain the same at their core, and their personalities are generally similar." Yuuko stepped forward, whispering this explanation into Jerry's ear.

"Ah, I see! So they are a different version of the people that I know, I am quite experienced with this kind of situation from where I came from," Jerry quickly grasped the situation.

This scenario resembled the multiverse concept in the main world, where figures like Doctor Strange existed across parallel universes, much like Wanda.

Their fundamental nature remained consistent, but diverse life experiences led to significant variations.

Following Syaoran and Sakura's arrival, two more magic circles illuminated simultaneously.

Jerry failed to recognize the newcomers—a man in black robes wielding a long knife and another in white robes wielding a wand.

The black-robed man exuded a stern, warrior-like aura, while the white-robed figure demonstrated formidable magical prowess.

Upon a brief power assessment, the white-robed magician's magic level was surprisingly comparable to Eriol in the Cardcaptor Sakura World.

"Please, save Sakura!" High school Syaoran urgently pleaded with Yuuko as he cradled the unconscious Sakura.

He explained that he had been sent by Yukito, the high priest of Clow Country, to seek the assistance of the all-powerful Dimension Witch in rescuing their Princess Sakura.

Yuuko, leaving Jerry's side, approached Syaoran. While placing her hand on Sakura's forehead to diagnose her with magic, she inquired about Syaoran's name.

After learning the young man's name, she turned her attention to the white-robed and black-robed individuals.

The black-robed ninja identified himself as Kurogane, hailing from another world, Japan.

He found himself inexplicably transported to the witch by his loyal princess, Tomoyo.

Confused and disoriented, Jerry found himself in an unfamiliar place with no knowledge of how or why he arrived.

The white-robed magician, Fay D. Flouritte, hailing from the Country of Celes, maintained a constant fake smile as he sought a wish from Yuuko.

Fay was also the magician afflicted by the curse, as mentioned earlier by Yuuko.

"Something crucial has been lost by this child, scattered across various worlds. If this continues, she will not survive," Yuuko explained, referring to Sakura after conducting a diagnosis.

Syaoran, distressed by the revelation of Sakura's impending demise, urgently made a wish to Yuuko for her salvation, clutching her tightly.

Yuuko, in turn, directed Watanuki to guide Syaoran on how to save Sakura.

The solution involved traversing diverse worlds to retrieve the lost items scattered across them, ensuring Sakura's survival upon successful collection.

Jerry, observing the unfolding events, silently contemplated the situation.

The four individuals present seemed unfamiliar with each other, yet Yuuko appeared well-prepared for their arrival, assigning Jerry the task of safeguarding them throughout their journey.

While the circumstances seemed peculiar, Jerry reasoned that as long as he could continue traveling to different worlds to collect laws, the intricate dynamics of their situation mattered little to him.

Although Jerry had only visited each world once, the act alone granted him the spatial coordinates of those worlds.

His unique ability allowed him to rupture the fabric of space and navigate directly to any location he had previously encountered.

For instance, his return to the world of magic cards required no external assistance.

Armed with the spatial coordinates imprinted in his memory, Jerry effortlessly traversed space, bypassing the need for the witch's magic circle.

Despite this travel independence, Syaoran and Sakura's connection remained steadfast across the worlds.

Witnessing their deep bond, recently affirmed in the Cardcaptor World, reiterated the constancy of their relationship in different dimensions.

Similarly, Tomoyo's wealth seemed to transcend worlds. In Cardcaptor World, she held the position of a chaebol lady, while in the world of Kurogane, she assumed the role of a princess, albeit a magical one.

With the matters concerning Sakura addressed, Yuuko turned her attention to Kurogane and Fay, inquiring about their wishes.

Prompted to express his desire, the resolute Kurogane stated, "Since any wish can be fulfilled here, it's very simple. I want to go back to where I was originally."

He couldn't fathom why Princess Tomoyo, whom he served loyally, would send him to this unfamiliar realm, marking his forehead with magic that forbade him from killing and weakened his lethal abilities.

The immediate urge to return and seek answers from Princess Tomoyo overwhelmed Kurogane.

After articulating his wish, Fay, adorned in a white robe, shared his desire with an insincere smile, "I don't want to go back to where I was originally."

Having escaped the clutches of King Ashura in his original world, Fay preferred the freedom to roam different realms without being pursued.

Continually changing locations ensured that King Ashura could never track him down.

Ichihara Yuuko noted the similar nature of their wishes, stating, "It seems that your wishes align. Mr. Kurogane wants to return to his own world from this one, Mr. Fay wants to escape his own world and explore others, and Mr. Syaoran wants to traverse various worlds to collect memories and save this girl."

She gestured towards Jerry, who had been standing beside her.

This revelation surprised Fay and the others; they assumed Jerry was merely a store clerk with a close association with the witch, unaware that he shared their status as wish-makers.

"So, it's actually very simple. You all want to go to another world. I can send you to another world, but you have to pay the same price." Yuuko said with a sly smile on her face.
