Fujitaka is a professor of archaeology and his work takes him all over the world, leaving him little time to spend with his family. Sakura is excited to have her father back home, but her happiness is somewhat tempered by the knowledge that his stay will be brief.

During his visit, Fujitaka shares the news that he has been invited to participate in an archaeological dig in Hong Kong. Sakura and her brother Touya are sad to hear this, as they know that their father's job often takes him away for extended periods of time. However, Fujitaka reassures his children that he will be back as soon as possible and promises to bring back souvenirs for them.

Despite the fact that her father's visit is short-lived, Sakura is determined to make the most of the time they have together.

With the help of her friends Tomoyo and Syaoran, she discovers that the mysterious force responsible for Kero-chan's loss of power is none other than a Clow Card!

Sakura and her friends set out to capture the card and restore Kero-chan's power. Along the way, they must face a powerful foe and work together to overcome their obstacles. Despite the danger, Sakura is determined to succeed and prove herself as a capable cardcaptor.

Meanwhile, Sakura's father has been observing his daughter's activities from a distance.
