Hearing Paimon's voice, Ying stood up and walked to Gao Muming's side, carefully observing Gao Muming's condition.

"Takagi Akira, how do you feel? Did you get enough sleep?"

"Well, I feel much more energetic now."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to Ganjin Island where the celebration is held. I can't wait to eat all those delicious foods at the celebration."

Paimon, who had been waiting for a long time, was very happy to hear Gao Muming's response. He took Ying's hand and prepared to set off.

Soon the three of them arrived at Ganjin Island. Looking at the lively celebration in front of them and smelling the aroma of delicacies from various stalls during the celebration, Paimon, who was drooling, rushed to the nearest snack stand.

Looking at the impatient Paimon, Gao Muming and Ying shook their heads and looked at each other with a smile.

"Paimon is really energetic."

"really."

Ying responded to Gao Muming's words with a smile, but there was still a hint of sadness on her face as she looked at the guests around her who were out with their families enjoying the celebration.

Looking at Ying's expression, Gao Muming, who thought she was missing her brother, spoke to comfort her.

"Don't be sad Ying, next time when you find your brother, let's go to the celebration together."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Ying was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"Everyone will come together then."

Having said that, Ying's expression did not improve, and there was still a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"I wasn't thinking about my brother just now. I was just thinking how nice it would be if Hanasari could see the smile that Inazuma is showing during the celebration now."

Although he knew the ending of Hanasarashi due to his past memories, Takagi Akira pretended to be ignorant and asked Ying with a curious look.

"Hanasanri? You're the shrine maiden that I met by the fox statue outside Konda Village, right? When I was in the dark room at Yaedo, you went to Konda Village to help Hanasari the shrine maiden remove the barrier."

Having said that, Gao Muming looked at Paimon who was waving at them in front of the snack stand, and asked while waving back at her.

"But Ying, judging from your tone, is there something else going on here?"

"Yes."

Ying said as she walked slowly towards Paimon.

"As you know, when we were helping Mr. Domon, we found out that the seal that Miss Hanasari wanted us to remove in Konda Village was in a dry well behind Konda Village."

Gao Muming raised his foot and followed Ying.

"Of course I know that. The key to open the locked dry well was dug out by us from the ruins of a house across the canal east of Konda Village."

"When I opened the barrier in the dry well, a powerful sea demon suddenly emerged from the roots of the sacred cherry tree in the barrier."

"After I dealt with the Kairanki that suddenly appeared, Miss Hanasari suddenly appeared behind me and told me that the Kairanki that suddenly appeared was formed by the accumulation of pollution that the Divine Sakura Tree failed to purify and drain in time."

"Hana Sanri said that the filth accumulated in the roots of the God Sakura tree has become so much that the tree can no longer bear it, so she asked me, an adventurer who can purify the filth, to help her complete the ritual of the God Sakura purification."

As he spoke, Ying took out the commemorative mirror.

"I agreed to help complete the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura, and I received this commemorative mirror at the Narukami Taisha Shrine that can be used to observe the earth fox and see some hidden things that are not visible to others."

Gao Muming and Ying came to the snack stand while chatting in low voices. Seeing that Gao Muming and Ying were still unhurried, Paimeng put his hands on his hips.

"You guys are so slow. It's such a lively celebration but you're not excited at all. Forget it. I've already bought your share as well."

Gao Muming paid the bill very consciously. After receiving a pile of snacks from the stall owner, Paimeng handed some to Ying and Gao Muming, then ate while flying to the fragrant stall next to him.

Ying continued to talk about her previous experience while eating snacks.

"I am glad that during the Great Purification of the Divine Cherry Blossoms, I made new friends, the raccoon dog sealed in the Guardian Forest - Gobazo and the little raccoons of his clan."

"After running across most of Narukami Island according to the locations Hanasari told me, I finally managed to clear all five barriers required for the Great Purification of the Kamizakura."

"Finally, at the foot of Yingxiang Mountain, with the help of the Divine Sakura Tree, I purified the filth that had accumulated at the roots of the Divine Sakura Tree over the years and successfully completed the Divine Sakura Purification."

"It's a happy thing to be here. I completed the Great Purification of the God Sakura and helped Inazuma resolve the potential danger. But what I didn't expect was that Hanasakura, who entrusted us to perform the Great Purification of the God Sakura, turned out to be the filth condensed from the roots of the God Sakura tree just like Kairanki."

"Hanasanri is the impurity that holds the memory of Kitsusai-gū who sacrificed her life heroically to fight against pollution many years ago and was devoured by the pollution. Even though she knew that she would be eliminated along with the impurity, Hanasari still chose to complete the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura with her own will."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of sadness in Ying's tone.

"That's why I was thinking, how wonderful it would be if Miss Hanasari could see that people live so happily in the land that she was willing to sacrifice herself to protect."

Hearing what Ying said, Takagi Akira also lowered his eyelids.

"Such will and awareness are truly admirable. I regret that I was not able to accompany you to see Miss Hanasari off for the last time."

Just when Ying and Takagi Akira fell into silence because of Hanasari, Paimon, who had placed an order at a snack stand nearby, flew between the two of them.

"Really? What's wrong with you two? You look so miserable. Festivals are meant to be fun. Hurry up and catch up. There are other delicious and fun things ahead."

As he spoke, Paimon grabbed one hand each of Gao Muming and Ying's and flew towards the stall in front.

"That's right. Everyone laughing and having fun is what she wants to see in Inazuma."

After figuring things out, Ying and Takagi Akira actively participated in the celebration. The contrast between the two was so strong that even Paimon on the side was a little confused.

Looking at Ying and Takagi Akira who were enjoying the celebration to the fullest with smiles on their faces, Paimeng crossed his arms over his chest.

"That's right. The purpose of a celebration is to have fun."

When Paimon saw Gao Muming and Ying sharing the tri-color dumplings that Paimon had just ordered from the stall next to them and eating them one by one with no intention of stopping, he hurriedly shouted and flew to Gao Muming and Ying.

"Wait, Gao Muming, I've been waiting for that tri-color dumpling for a long time, don't eat it all, leave some for me!!!"
