Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

She believed her duty was to cleanse the divine cherry blossoms of their filth, but with the return of the Fox Palace, her only purpose was no longer needed. So... what should I do?

This body... is made of filth! Just staying in this world is a problem!

"Hey! Hanasanri, it's been a long time!"

The voice from the side woke Hana Sanri from her thoughts, making her look to the side and see people walking out of the spatial teleportation portal.

The rare sight stunned her, but unfortunately, she was wearing a mask and no one else could see her.

"Have we met before?" Hana Sanri asked, puzzled.

"Yes," Fang Rui replied affirmatively. "I've met you before..."

"We're here to help you complete the Divine Cherry Blossom Grand Climb."

Hana Sanri's gaze swept over the others, recognizing some familiar faces: Kitsunemiya, Yae no Miko, Raiden Shin, Raiden Din...

This lineup... it's more than enough to take on even the Demon God, let alone the Divine Sakura Daiba.

“You…” Raiden frowned. She looked at Hana Sanri for a while and then at Kosai-kyo for a while, seemingly lost in thought.

"Afterwards, let's go eat fried tofu together." Fox Palace had guessed this earlier, and she smiled as she extended this invitation.

At the same time, he came to Fang Rui's side, put his right hand behind his back, gently poked Fang Rui's waist, and whispered, "Please help me!"

"of course can."

Fang Rui did not refuse, and naturally led everyone to find Hua Sanli, showing no intention of giving up on Hua Sanli.

To keep Hana Sanri, one must solve a problem: she believes herself to be filthy and should not remain in this world.

To change her mind, you should find someone who approves of her, and that person must be a specific group of people.

For example, only genuine, heartfelt approval from Raiden Shin, Raiden Movie, and Kosai-gumi could change her mind.

"Let's begin the mission!"

“Alright! First…” Hana Sanri was about to explain the mission details when Fang Rui interrupted, assigning tasks to everyone, “Wendy is going to retrieve the town items, the locations are…”

"No problem." Wendy vanished instantly, transforming into a gentle breeze.

"Then let's go play in the Forest of Guardians."

That tanuki demon is quite amusing, so of course we have to tease him.

Within the Guardian Forest reside many monsters. The dense canopy obscures the view, making the light in the forest rather dim. Coupled with some luminous plants, the atmosphere of the forest is somewhat... eerie!

It's that feeling of "Ah! There might be a monster here."

Following the forest path, the group arrived at the raccoon dog statue.

"You stinky fox! Let's have a contest—"

Before anyone could say anything, the stone statue suddenly shattered, and a fat raccoon cat jumped out.

“Alright! I won, you have to hand over the talisman to me.” Fox Palace did not refuse.

"What is a talisman?" The excited raccoon demon was taken aback upon hearing this, for he did not have a talisman!

"It's the one you stole," Fang Rui reminded him.

"Oh, you mean that?" the raccoon demon exclaimed in realization.

"How do you know everything?" Everyone looked at them with curiosity. Had they been to Inazuma before?

But... that shouldn't be the case!

"No problem, if you beat me, I'll hand it over."

"Let me think, what should we have a competition about?" Fox Prince pretended to think seriously, then suddenly laughed and said, "Let's have a ramen-eating competition!"

"Okay! I'm sure I'll win, and I'll definitely eat more than you!"

The raccoon demon was very excited, waving its arms, ready to make a big splash.

"Ramen...where are you planning to get it from?" Fang Rui asked.

This is the middle of nowhere, there are no ingredients at all, and no shops either!

"Ah! It's alright, the Kamisato family is nearby, where are you going?" Kitsuri-miya said.

The group moved their location from the Forest of Guardian to the Kamisato family's residence.

Ayato and Ayaka were both at home when the General's visit surprised them. After greeting the General, Ayato returned to his office to continue handling government affairs, while Ayaka took charge of entertaining everyone.

Upon hearing the reason why the general and his entourage had come here, he immediately ordered the chef to prepare a meal, and various kinds of ramen were served.

Not only the two players in the competition, but everyone else also had a bowl of ramen, which was excellent in both taste and presentation.

Fang Rui and the others watched the play while eating noodles.

Fox Palace ate his noodles slowly and deliberately, without any hurry.

The fox demon ate large mouthfuls of noodles, finishing several bowls in the blink of an eye, while Fox Palace didn't even finish one bowl.

A dozen minutes later, Huzhaigong finished his noodles, put down his chopsticks, and said, "It tasted very good, I'm full."

Upon hearing this, Gosho threw down his chopsticks and cheered, "I won!"

"It's not you!" Fox Palace explained, "We didn't discuss how to determine the winner before the competition started, so eating more doesn't mean winning; eating less is the way to win."

"You stinking fox, you're cheating!"

"No~ It's because you didn't follow the rules of the game." Fox Palace chuckled softly, teasing Ichizo was still as amusing as ever.

"A bet's a bet, so hand over the talisman!"

"Damn it! I was careless this time, but I'll definitely win next time."

Wu Baizang, looking displeased, handed the talisman to Huzhaigong...

Chapter 453 Zhongli Wants to Plant Trees

After a brief interlude, the group left the Kamisato family and headed to the first place to cleanse the impurities, Konta Village, a village near Kagemura Mountain.

Foxmonger once instructed the village chief of Konta Village to guard the site where the filth was removed. Successive village chiefs have remembered this matter. Although the specific details have been forgotten, the key points are remembered.

However, when people are nervous, they cannot think calmly. Therefore, when the village chief of Konta Village saw the general and others, he did not recall the story passed down through the generations. Instead, he thought of something else.

Several young men from the village robbed the shogunate's goods. Because the robbery was successful, the truck was abandoned in the wilderness, and the attackers had already escaped. The shogunate soldiers who were robbed exaggerated their story, which led to the case not being solved.

The village chief, who was one of the insiders, had been living in fear. Now that he saw the general, all his worries came flooding back. He realized that his secret had been exposed and confessed immediately.

Listening to the old man tell his story in a trembling voice, Raiden and the others felt quite helpless.

Why does it feel like all the content I'm showing my friends is the bad side?!

Is there no good side to Inatsuma that she can show now?!

As Raiden thought this, he glanced at his younger sister, Raiden Movie, again. He wanted to complain about something, but then he remembered something and couldn't bring himself to criticize her.

After all, things happened too hastily back then, and various disasters struck one after another. The devastated Lei Movie became withdrawn and had no mind to manage Inazuma.

If we had to find the culprit, it would naturally be the group of people who started the disaster.

As for those who maintain it, they can take some of the blame.

"Take us to the sealing location."

While mentally complaining, he thought to himself, "Lightning really changed the subject. The location for removing the filth is naturally impossible to explain, so let's just say it another way."

"Yes!" the village chief responded, leading everyone to the dry well behind the village, unlocking it, and allowing them to enter the well...

A foul stench, mixed with damp air, gushed out of the well. Fox Palace frowned slightly; the situation was somewhat serious, the filth had become so thick that it was easily perceptible.

Wendy raised an eyebrow slightly. A gust of wind blew in from afar, entered the dry well, circled around inside, and carried away the stench of decay before being thrown out through another exit.

Meanwhile, he already knew the situation at the bottom of the well, since the wind could bring him information.

"I'll go first!" Wendy said, and crawled into the well. He found something interesting at the bottom and decided to take a look.

Seeing this, the others entered the well one after another, but when it was Wu Baizang's turn, they encountered a problem.

"We...are stuck!"

Feeling the well wall pressing against his waist, Ichizoku was completely stunned.

"You actually managed to get it in!" Fang Rui raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.

It's absurd that Goyakuzō could get stuck inside, as he's more than twice the size of the wellhead.

Although cats are said to be liquid with great flexibility, and raccoons are somewhat related to cats, the current situation is truly absurd.

"Transformation, huh! Where's the tanuki's signature skill?" Kitsune-miya muttered under his breath. How did Ichizo become so adorable? Even more silly and cute than before!

Could it be that I haven't teased him for too long, causing his IQ to drop?

No, we need to try to "bully" Ichizoku and raise his IQ.

Ichizou naturally had no way of knowing what Fox Palace was saying, otherwise he would definitely have protested instead of thanking Fox Palace for his help.

With the problem solved, the group reached the bottom of the well. The dim light had no effect on them; everything was still clearly visible.

The Cherry Blossom Tree quest was originally the Traveler's task; if it's completed ahead of time, the Traveler will lose one less quest to grind reputation with...

No, not many people know about the Divine Cherry Tree quest; in fact, only a handful do, so it's not a good way to boost a traveler's reputation.

However, stealing tasks isn't a good idea, so Fang Rui thought about assigning the travelers a task, like catching fluffy things...

There are quite a few Abyss Mages in Inazuma territory. Let the Traveler capture them. On the one hand, it can help her gain reputation and make money, and on the other hand, it can weaken the Abyss forces.

In the end, Fang Rui was able to collect a bunch of fluffy things.

Speaking of which, what can the Abyss Mage's hair be used for? Alchemy materials? Making cloth?

While he was lost in thought, the group arrived at their destination. Fox Palace was conducting an exorcism ceremony, while the others, including Yae no Miko, observed without any intention of participating…

A little while later, Yae no Miko, who had been watching the show, was dragged over and made to work with Kitsune-no-miya.

I have no right to interfere with others, but you... I do have the right to interfere, so come and help me.

Through their combined efforts, the filth of the Divine Cherry was expelled, transforming into the phantom of a warrior. Composed of the energy of the filth, its combat power was very high, surpassing that of ordinary possessors of the Eye of God.

Unfortunately, they were both easily eliminated by the two generations of shrine priests; a single spell would have been enough to take them down...

"So...relax?" Fang Rui muttered under his breath. He wanted to see something interesting, but the current situation made it impossible.
