Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

"The best way is to stay in a place full of spiritual energy to recuperate. But Lei Ying is now..." The witch thought for a moment and took out a ball of pink. "This is for you. It can help stabilize the situation."

Su took it and asked curiously, "What is this? It looks like Liyue's hydrangea."

What the masked shrine maiden handed over was a cluster of pink cherry blossoms with a ribbon tied underneath.

A pink "cloud" floated over, and the masked witch gently gathered it and introduced it to the traveler team: "The petals that make up this flower cluster are the red cherry hydrangea. In other words, it is the petals that fell from the Inazuma Thunder Sakura tree, and it has special powers."

After the petals fall from the thunder cherry tree, they will float in the air. When attracted by lightning, they will gather into clumps. Elegant people named it the red cherry hydrangea, but in fact, only the petals can be collected.

Masked witch: "This is a flower cluster of longing that I made using my purest spiritual power and the scarlet cherry hydrangea."

Holding the flower ball, Su Zhen felt a lot more relaxed, and his eyes were full of favor as he looked at the masked witch.

Su thanked him earnestly: "Thank you! You are the first good person I have met since I came to Inazuma!"

"You're welcome," the kind-hearted masked shrine maiden said in a worried tone, "but the current trend among Inazuma is..." Is it so bad? There aren't many kind-hearted people?

"Yeah!" Su nodded vigorously and complained to the masked witch about everything that had happened to him since he got off the boat.

If it weren't for the Manyo pearls, she would almost think that there are no good people in Inazuma!

The masked witch felt very apologetic: "I'm so sorry..."

Paimon complained: "Those guys did the bad things. Why should you apologize on their behalf when you did nothing wrong?" This shrine maiden is too responsible to Inazuma.

"You are a good Inazuma!" Su felt that the masked priestess who took the initiative to help her was a rare good Inazuma like Manye, so, "Do you need any help or want anything? Please tell me."

"I do have something I would like to ask for your help." The masked witch led the group of travelers to a fox statue. "There is a charm inside the fox statue enshrined here. Only those who are appreciated by Thunder, have courage and cherish friendship can take it out."

Paimon pondered: "To be appreciated by Thunder, does that mean I have to use the element of Thunder?"

The empty sword swung out a flash of lightning, and an old sword indeed emerged from the stone platform...

"What is this? For dusting?" Su picked up the whisk with disdain.

The masked witch was very happy, "As expected, you are the destined ones."

She recalled the heroic battle between the Traveler Team and the Sea Ghost, and said with more certainty: "With your skills, it shouldn't be a problem!"

Hanasari seemed to remember something and looked at the girl, "As for you, please try not to use elemental power until you recover."

Paimon carefully wrote down the "doctor's orders" and asked curiously, "So, Masked Priestess, what exactly do you want us to help you with?" It sounds like they are going to fight, I wonder if it's dangerous.

The masked shrine maiden thought for a moment and told the truth, "The Thunder Sakura tree is a branch of the Inazuma's sacred cherry tree, symbolizing the eternal watchfulness of the Thunder God. It has the power to exorcise evil spirits and purify the earth veins."

"The roots of the Thunder Sakura tree absorb the filth from the ground, and a purification ceremony is required every few decades. This purification ceremony is called a small purification ceremony."

"But the roots that absorb and purify pollution will also be eroded over time. When too much filth accumulates in the roots, the polluted parts will continue to form tumors. At this time, it is necessary to unseal the roots and perform the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura."

The masked priestess was kind-hearted and offered to help, and the traveler team reciprocated by simply taking on the task of the divine cherry blossom purification.

The masked witch pointed to a place not far away and said, "There is a village not far ahead called Konda Village. There is a root of a thunder cherry tree there. This charm is used to break the barrier there. But you need to go and ask and investigate where the barrier is exactly."

Su was feeling unwell, so he stayed with the masked priestess along with Paimon. Sora went to Konda Village to investigate alone, but returned empty-handed after a while.

Kong said the village looked peaceful, but it was mostly inhabited by old people and children, with few young adults to be seen. The village chief was very wary of outsiders.

He made a quick inspection but didn't find any suspicious places, and because the village chief was keeping a close eye on the place, he couldn't conduct a thorough investigation.

The village is full of old people and children, which is a bit like Qingce Village in Liyue, but the reason for this is that all the young people in Qingce Village have gone out to work, while the reason for this is that all the young people in Gandada Village have been drafted into the army.

There are only the elderly and the weak left in the village, so it is understandable that the village chief is wary of outsiders.

Sora sighed in his heart for the miserable lives of ordinary people like Inazuma.

"Is it because Sora obviously looks like a foreigner?" Paimon analyzed, "In that case, it would be better for Hanasari, who is a local, to ask!"

Hanasari lowered her head. "I'm sorry, I... don't really want to come into contact with humans. They don't trust me either."

She is a filthy being, and contact with ordinary humans will have a bad influence on them.

Paimon: "It must be because you don't even want to show your face, so it's normal for people to be scared. Are you really unwilling to take off the mask?"

"I...look different..." Thinking of her own dark face, Hanasari's voice became even lower.

Now that Hanasari had said so much, Paimon didn't want to force her, and he regretted touching her sore spot.

Paimon quickly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, your mask is pretty cute. Where did you buy it?"

"I think it's cute too!" Su Peng looked at Hua Sanli, "I want one too. Do you have any left, sister?"

Hearing the girl calling her sister affectionately, Hanasari felt a faint surge of nostalgia and joy in her heart, but, "I only have one of you..."

Seeing the disappointed look in the girl's eyes, Hanasari paused and couldn't help but said, "After the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura is over, the mask... I'll give it to you then."

Sue thanked him and then declined, "Thank you, sister, but no thanks."

"You need a mask to cover your face." Su thought that Hanasari might have been injured on her face.

"Although I think you are very beautiful, if wearing a mask makes you feel safer, then it would be fun to be a cute masked shrine maiden."

Although Hua Sanli did not reveal a single trace of her face, Su knew that she was a great beauty!

Sometimes you don’t need to see a woman’s face to see her beauty.

You can see it from her back, from her temperament, from her demeanor... from her kind and gentle heart.

Hanasari is definitely a great beauty!

Paimeng was worried: "What should we do now? Who will go and get the news?"

She is like Sora, neither of them is Inazuma. If Hanasari doesn't want to go, then there is only...

"Me?" Su pointed at himself.

Paimon looked up and down at the girl. She had black hair and black eyes, and her appearance was more like that of a Liyue or Inazuma person. When she was silent, she exuded a calm and melancholy temperament, even a sense of mystery.

But once you speak, it’s all over!

Paimon held his forehead and said tactfully, "Su can't do that either. The clothes are either from Mondstadt or Liyue."

"As for clothes," Hanasari held out a new set of miko clothes, "this one is old, but I've never worn it before."
