I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

It was not until Hanasari no longer appeared that the traveler found the last word.

The phrase "Bring the fried tofu quickly" is so cute that it doesn't seem like an important spell.

With the second talisman, the traveler quickly killed the warrior who was the embodiment of resentment and purified the thunder cherry.

After that, Hanasari appeared as promised, and the traveler told her about his investigation process.

"I see. Has the record of the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura been lost?"

"..."

After hearing the news, Hanasari's delicate shoulders kept shaking.

"It's understandable. It's understandable. After all, it's been so long. I'm not angry. I'm not angry!"

Having said that, even with the mask on, players could sense the anger in her tone.

"When I used the commemorative mirror to observe the past, I saw the figure of Kitsai Palace, and then I saw you, and you appeared many times."

"What is your relationship with Kitsai Palace? Why did you appear in the past? Who are you?"

Facing the traveler's question, Hanasari seemed a little flustered, and she said guiltily:

"I'm extremely sorry. I never meant to hide anything, but... I never had the chance to explain."

At this point, players certainly have no intention of blaming Hanasari.

The time spent with her was pleasant and novel for everyone.

From Hanasari's words and actions, it seems that she wants to treat the traveler as a friend, but because she needs something from the traveler, she dare not get too close to him.

This kind of ambiguous feeling has captured the hearts of players.

105. Hide and seek with only one party left (free)

"Thank you so much."

After gaining the understanding of the travelers, Hua Sanli's joy can be clearly heard.

Including her previous anger, she never intended to hide her joys, sorrows, anger and happiness from travelers.

Some people don’t wear masks but they are full of false appearances, while Hanasari wears a mask but is very sincere to the travelers.

"One more thing. What kind of item is the commemorative mirror you mentioned earlier?"

"It is made from the lens and the camera of the Kitsai Palace."

"Lens?!"

Hanasari became excited again.

"That mirror... was actually used as an accessory for some video recorder?!"

She took several deep breaths to adjust her mood, then quickly walked to the traveler, took his hands and emphasized:

"You must take good care of this lens!"

"Really! It's very valuable! Don't bump it! Clean it regularly!"

"I, I will keep it safe..."

The traveler was also frightened by the momentum and unconsciously hugged the precious mirror tightly.

After that, Hanasari led the travelers to a quiet forest called the "Forest of Guardians".

He also got the final talisman from the fat raccoon monster Gohyukang.

At the same time, he heard Gobazo talking about his fight with a "dirty fox" and the event was hide-and-seek.

But after it hid, the naughty fox never came to look for it again.

"If you see that stinky fox, remember to say hello to him for me and say... let me think..."

Wu Bai Zang gathered his emotions for a moment, then pretended to be angry and said:

"You bastard, you're making me so angry. Come back and fight me. The winner between us hasn't been decided yet!"

Before he could maintain his angry tone for a moment, Gobazo's momentum softened:

"And that...that..."

"Tell that stinky fox that I...mostly my little brothers, miss her."

After purifying the Thunder Sakura, the Traveler asked Hanasari about the "dirty fox" that Gohyukō mentioned.

This time, Hanasari did not hide anything and told the story of Kitsusai Palace to the traveler.

In order to protect this sacred forest, the fox fairy deceived the five hundred Zangs and told them to hide well and not show up under any circumstances under the pretext of playing hide-and-seek.

However, Kitsune Saiguni had already died in the dark disaster, and Gobazo was still thinking about showing off to Kitsune Saiguni how good his hide-and-seek skills were after they met again.

Hanasari’s narration is extremely detailed, as if it were her own personal experience.

The players who had already doubted her identity guessed that she might have a close connection with Kitsai Palace.

But once asked, Hanasari simply said that she inherited Kitsaigumi's memories, and the truth would not be revealed until the ceremony was over.

"The Great Purification of the Divine Sakura is only one step away."

"Please believe me, as long as you complete the last step, the divine cherry will be purified and all your problems will be solved."

At this point, there was no trace of relief in Hanasari's tone that indicated that her mission was about to be accomplished. On the contrary, one could actually hear some nostalgia and reluctance in her tone.

106. Player: Cardiac Arrest (Free)

"The final step of the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura is to remove the miasma that has accumulated in the roots of the Divine Sakura for many years."

After that, Hanasari brought the travelers to the depths of Yingxiang Mountain, where the aura of the underworld was heavy and the resentment emanating from the roots of the sacred cherry blossoms was visible to the naked eye.

If you stand on a steep cliff and look down, you can see many rocks turned upside down, rising slowly along with the foul air, which is quite magical.

The traveler jumped down, cleared out all the incarnations of resentment, and destroyed the huge tumor full of evil that was entrenched on several roots of the sacred cherry.

"In this way, the pain Shenying endured has finally been relieved, right?"

At some point, Hanasari also appeared here. The traveler mentioned the previous agreement and wanted to know the secret about Hanasari.

The masked witch no longer hides her secrets.

"As I said before, I inherited the memories of Master Kitsusai."

"In order to protect Narukami Island, Lady Saimiya fought against the dark disaster and ultimately died, but the barriers she set up in various places protected the lives of countless creatures."

"Although I, who simply inherited the memory, really shouldn't have such presumptuous thoughts, I am also proud of this memory."

Hanasari only talked about her pride, but did not mention the two times she was angry because the lens was modified and the Divine Sakura Purification was lost.

Apparently, Hanasari possessed not only Kitsaigumi's memories, but also her thoughts.

"Are you a member of the Huzhai Palace's family?" the traveler asked.

"No, it's quite the opposite..."

There was suddenly a hint of sadness in Hua Sanli's voice.

"The disaster that consumed her eventually subsided, and her thoughts and memories returned to the land of Narukami Island."

"Remember those entities formed by filth? I am actually one of them."

"I, Hanasari, am the filth formed from the memories of Kitsusai-sama."

Seeing this sentence, all the players had a sudden cardiac arrest, and their fingers touching their phones stopped unconsciously.

It was hard to imagine that this girl who was so comfortable to interact with was actually filthy.

"I can't help you fight because I am filth myself, so I can't purify other evil spirits, and naturally I can't heal you."

"Because the memory of the Kitsai Palace is very strong, even the dark disaster could not completely eliminate it."

"After the Calamity was defeated, it flowed into the earth as a burning filth, and so... I was born."

After Hanasari told him everything, all the previous doubts were resolved.

"After seeing your bravery and kindness, I can't help but wonder if Kitsai-no-Miya had someone like you by her side, perhaps she would have survived."

"But every time I think of this, I can't help but selfishly think that if that were the case, I wouldn't have been born in this way inheriting her memory and meeting you in the end."

Hua Sanli's voice sounded very sad.

On the one hand, it is the sincere wish that Kitsai Palace can survive, and on the other hand, it is his own existence itself.

Hanasari is caught in the middle and can't have it both ways.

And in the end, she made her own choice...

107. If you are born to die, who can save you?

In the end, Hanasari made her own decision:

"When I was born, I was also at a loss, but as my memories came back, I also understood my own life experience and my own responsibilities."

"I must protect Narukami Island, purify the miasma, and perform the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura."

At that moment, countless players wanted to shout out a sentence, and that sentence happened to appear in the dialogue as the traveler's line:

"If that happens, you will be destroyed too!"

“When I realized this, I felt very uneasy.”

Hua Sanli smiled and said:

"But when I see the contribution you have made to the lives of the people on this land, I feel relieved."

"In order to ensure that your efforts are not in vain, evil spirits like me must give way to hope for the future."

"I'm sure if Saigū knew about this, he would be very proud, right?"

At this point, Hanasari's tone suddenly became a little awkward:

"Although... although I am a little anxious because the magic tool that Kitsunayagū gave to Kanjou Hiroshige was destroyed, and the records of the Kamizakura Grand Purification were lost..."

"But in any case, I am very happy to see it come into your hands in such a tortuous way."

When talking about this joyful feeling, Hanasari put her hands on her chest and said meaningfully:

"I wonder if this is Hanasari's mood or Kitsai-gu's mood?"

"Are you really going to leave?" asked the traveler.

"Well, this is my mission, the meaning of my existence."

Hua Sanli nodded, and there was no longer any confusion or hesitation in her words.

"Don't be deceived, don't be shaken, always walk on the path you believe in - this is the last motto that Husaigong said to his beloved girl before the final separation."

"Although I feel I don't have the qualifications as a descendant of Baichen, I believe that if Hu Zhaigong himself were still alive, he would definitely not be stingy with his blessings for you, right?"

Hanasari originally wanted to bless the travelers in the name of Kitsusai Palace, but after thinking about it, she felt a little unwilling.

"You are the friend I made, the companion who worked with me to complete the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura, and my...my...most precious memory."

With this in mind, she risked transgressing the taboo and stubbornly spoke to the traveler as "self":

"I hope that her... no, my blessing, can help you in the future to resist some lies and evil thoughts."

After confessing her feelings, Hanasari walked towards Kamizakura.

She looked up at the sky for the last time, and suddenly an idea struck her:

"Kosaishi-kun has always been partial to the beauty of short poems. Although I have inherited her memory and the 1,111 poems she knew, I do not have the elegance and taste to apply them as freely as she does."

"But at this very moment, I remembered a song that fits the occasion..."

"Since I have left you, I do not know when I will return. I am like the morning dew, which dries up in an instant."

When the flowers disappeared in the morning light, the completely purified divine cherry blossoms were also full of beautiful cherry blossoms.

The beautiful flower cluster seemed to be a stand-in for Hua Sanli, and where she originally stood, there was only the mask left.

【…】

The players fell silent, and all major gaming communities fell into a subtle silence.

It’s a pity that the game’s background cannot detect the current status of each character.

Otherwise, Ye Ming should have been able to see that all the characters who were doing this task were staying where they were and not taking any action.
