"She left." Paimon watched Inashiro Hotaru disappear. "So the Inazuma Shrine knows about the Kamizakura Purification and is willing to send props to support it, but has no intention of taking over?"

Su stroked his chin and thought for a moment before speaking in a narcissistic voice, "Sure enough! It's because Sora, Paimon and I are so awesome. Without us, the world wouldn't be able to move for even a day!"

Paimeng coaxed, "Okay, okay, Lord Su, the most powerful man in the world, let's find clues about the Word Spirit as soon as possible." There are still several tree roots waiting to be purified.

Su held the commemorative mirror and looked at the fox statues everywhere until he found a round little fox statue with purple lightning markings on its body. Suddenly, the phantom of a mysterious witch appeared on the commemorative mirror.

"A shrine that lost its master and its worshippers has become so desolate in such a short time..."

The commemorative mirror and the little fox not only show the images of the past, but also the sounds of that time.

The Traveler Team huddled in front of the mirror to watch for clues.

The mysterious witch muttered to herself, "I remember now. She seemed to have asked someone to build a locked door beside the pond on the way to the Guardian Forest, and gave the key to the Konda clan."

The mysterious witch in the picture turned around, revealing her face wearing a smiling fox mask.

Paimon loudly pointed out the identity of the miko: "This is Hanasari!"

Hua Sanli in the mirror seemed to be in a state of confusion: "This is... my former... No, not me. This is her former territory."

Suddenly she looked up in one direction, "That person over there... I miss him so much..."

The picture and sound are interrupted here.

"Who is this 'she' that Hua Sanli mentioned? And that person over there? Is there anyone coming?" Paimon was anxious to see what happened next.

Su looked in the direction Hua Sanli was looking, and after finding the little fox statue on the side of the road, he used the commemorative mirror again.

Sure enough, a strange figure appeared in the mirror. It was an Inazuma man wearing traditional Inazuma clothing and with gray hair.

"Yeah, very good. The spirit vein can still be used." The man patted the little fox statue's head. "And her followers are here too. It's a good place. Then, I will use the spirit of words to protect the talisman."

After realizing that it was this person who created the words, the Traveler Team focused on observing the follow-up.

The man who called himself "Xiaosheng" said solemnly: "The first sentence is [Mingshen Envoy], and the second sentence can be set to [Bai Chen Bloodline]."

"Great, I know the first two sentences!" Paimon looked at the passing shadow expectantly, "Next is the last one... Eh? Why did it disappear again!"

There was no other choice, so the Traveler Team began to look for a new little fox statue everywhere. Finally, in front of the Vermilion Hall, the shadows of the man and Hanasari appeared in the mirror.

Hanasari seemed to know the man, "You are... the person who seems so friendly on the surface."

The man greeted the masked Hanasari frivolously: "Hey, long time no see. I am still so ruthless to you..."

But then he immediately restrained his expression and became serious and stern, "... No, who are you?"

Paimon looked confused, "Eh? Did you mistake Hanasari for someone you know?"

Hanasari didn't say anything, and the man didn't seem to need her answer: "This kind of smell, is it the time for the great purification again..."

"I am... My name is Hanasari."

Hanasari tried to introduce herself earnestly, but the man interrupted her directly.

“...No need to say more. I understand.” The man seemed extremely disappointed. “I thought she was back. So this is what happened.”

Hanasari: "I... I remembered. About Kamizakura. About you. About Raiden."

The man chuckled, but his smile was very light. "Hmm, maybe the young man in front of you is actually the transformed one of Gohyakuzo. After all, you don't really know me, right, Miss Hanasari?"

Hanasari: "From what I can remember, it doesn't make much of a difference."

The man sighed. "For me, this is a half-hearted reunion. No, it feels more like... a quarter?"

"Let's say goodbye here." Feeling the man's hostility, Hanasari became much colder. She nodded to the man and left.

"Just leaving like that? What a disgusting creature..." The man alone in the picture muttered to himself, "Forget it, I won't punish her this time. After all, she still looks rational."

"I thought I met a friend I'd never see again, but... I'm so tired. So the third sentence is, [Fried tofu, come quickly!]"

The man, whose mind was disturbed by the unexpected encounter, finally uttered the last words.

Paimon was speechless, "What kind of words are these!" The first two sentences were so normal!

As if hearing someone's complaints in the void, the man in the image responded: "Fried tofu and Baichen bloodline are indeed a perfect match!"

Regardless, after much trouble, they finally found out the specific content of the words. A group of people returned to the fox statue and reported the voice code -

"Mingshen Envoy, Baichen Bloodline, Fried Tofu, come quickly!"

A new weight quickly emerged on the stone platform - a handful of old and faded imperial coins.

I took the imperial coin and went deep into the cave below the shrine, where I saw the torii gate and tree roots that were almost exactly the same as before.

The team of travelers who were already familiar with the process quickly placed talismans to break the barrier and fight the evil spirits, and quickly completed the purification work in this area.

"Thank you for your hard work," Hanasari mysteriously appeared again, "The progress of the Great Purification has advanced a little. Thank you very much."

Hanasari said with worry, "This time the incarnation of filth also looks like a vicious warrior. What happened to Inazuma?"

Paimon answered her, "I heard that Inazuma is at war."

"As expected..." Hanasari could only sigh, "The illusion of filth condensation is formed based on people's fear."

"In the past, filth would usually take the form of various monsters, and not all of them were harmful to humans."

Hanasari made a stirring motion, "For example, Natto-chan, he's a good kid who keeps stirring the natto when he's nervous."

Paimon looked confused: "Natto-chan? What, what is that?"

If Paimon hasn't heard of it, let alone Kong and Su.

"Oh, people nowadays don't know about monsters anymore?" Hanasari began to wonder if the monsters had gone into seclusion because of the war.

"Monster!" Su's eyes widened with anticipation, "I want to see it, I want to see it!"

Is there a cute but incomprehensible creature? She still needs a mount!

Hanasari had originally intended to ask the Traveler Team to meet a youkai to see how he was doing, "Okay, but please eat something first."

"You have been through so much, you must be tired and hungry. I have prepared some dishes, if you don't mind..."

Paimon's face was full of greed, and his mouth became sweet, "Wow, it looks delicious! Although there are a lot of mysteries about you, you are indeed the best miko sister in all of Inazuma!"

Su immediately followed suit and raised his hand to cheer: "The best witch sister!"

There was a barely perceptible shyness in Hua Sanli's voice, "...Thank you both for your compliments. I really don't deserve them."
