Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Since there was no one around in the wilderness, Su simply let Count Tuo Tuo out to exercise.

"I'm sorry for putting you through this." Su hugged Earl Tuo Tuo and rubbed him for a long time. "It's been a while since you came out to breathe some fresh air. Bubble Orange is not here, but you have a new friend to play with today."

Count Tuotu and the three little raccoons sniffed each other and soon became familiar with each other.

The favorite game of the fox demons is hide-and-seek.

The bell rang, and a raccoon with leaves on its head and a bag on its back jumped on the mountain path not far away, signaling the start of the game.

When Su ran over, the raccoon cat disappeared in front of her, but there was an unlit torch in the middle of the stone steps not far away.

Count Toto walked slowly over and walked around the torch.

"It's too obvious!" Su raised the "Torch" and shook it. The "Torch" had stars in its eyes but still stubbornly refused to change back to its original form.

Su's eyes turned, he took out the tinder, and just as he approached, he heard a "beep" sound! The "torch" turned back into a raccoon cat with leaves on its head and a bag on its back.

"I caught you! What's your name? Zheng Cheng, good." Su squatted down and shook hands with the demon raccoon Zheng Cheng, "There are two more to come!"

Count Tuo Tuo took the girl and ran around in the mountains and forests, and soon they caught all three raccoons.

"Okay, now..." Su and Paimon looked at each other and said in unison -

Paimon: "It's time to go find Gobazo for the talisman."

Su: "It's the turn of Zheng Cheng, who was caught first, to come find us!"

Paimon's eyes widened, "You still want to play?!"

"Yeah!" After perfunctorily answering Paimon, the girl earnestly told the raccoon the rules of hide-and-seek for humans, "Close your eyes and count to 60 before you can open them!"

Su, Count Tuotu and the two raccoons all fled, leaving behind Zheng Cheng who was counting with his eyes closed and Paimeng who was furious.

Paimon: "Stop playing around, business is more important!"

Sora looked calm as he sat on the stone steps and carefully cleaned the commemorative mirror. "It's rare that she's so happy. Paimon should take a rest as well."

Since Kong said so, Paimon was angry for a while but then he came to terms with it.

After running around for so long, Su had suffered a lot because of Inazuma and his health had problems.

From the time I boarded the ship until now, the only time I felt a little better was when I met the kind-hearted masked shrine maiden Hanasari. It’s a good thing that I’m in the mood to have fun now.

When the girl and the raccoons had finished playing and ran back, Paimon gently helped her and the raccoons pick off the grass leaves and twigs on their bodies.

At this time, Gobazo remembered a question, "You are obviously human, why do you have the smell of raccoon dogs?"

"You're asking at this time?" Paimon felt that Gobazo was, in some ways, a naive child!

"Because we ate the food made by the masked witch. She said she learned the magic from the raccoon demon so that we could understand what the raccoon demon said."

Gobazo suddenly became excited, "What does the shrine maiden you are talking about look like?!" Did the stinky fox turn into a shrine maiden again?

What? That stinky fox! If he was still alive, he should have come and said hello to us earlier!

Paimon described Hanasari's appearance as "short black hair and a fox mask. We haven't seen her face yet."

"Hmm, I'm wrong." Gobazo said a little disappointedly, "The shrine maiden I know is a stinky fox, with white hair, and her name is Kitsai-gumi."

Paimon: "Do you only have one witch friend?"

Gobazo was very sure, "Yes!"

Paimon was very confused, but Hanasari clearly said that he and Gobazo were friends?

Sora felt that it was getting late, so he asked, "Speaking of which, Gobazo, do you know where the roots of the Thunder Sakura tree are?"

"Tree roots plus the torii gate, right?" Gobazo knew. "I saw it before when I was fighting the stinky fox. I was worried that other monsters would come out and harm my forest, so I used magic to seal it off. Let Master Ji take you there."

The raccoon cat carrying a green bag came out on his own initiative and motioned the team of travelers to follow.

Paimon: "Thank you Gohyukang."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. If you see that stinky fox, remember to say hello to me. Just say...let me think about it..."

"You bastard, you're making me so mad! The winner of our game of hide-and-seek hasn't even been decided yet!"

After cursing for a while, Gobazo's voice became very low, "And... Xiaopan from the Ministry of Justice said he missed you! That's all, remember to pass on my message!"

An ornate wooden comb with a white fox pattern emerged from Gobazo's belly.

Unlike the previous town objects which were old, this comb was well preserved.

Su showed the comb to Paimeng and Kong. The three of them looked at each other and understood.

They said that the other little raccoon missed Kitsaigumi, but in fact, it was just Gobazo who missed her.

Master Ji led the group of travelers to the bottom of the cliff, facing the bare mountain wall with a look of exertion. Soon a hole appeared on the mountain wall.

Su and Master Ji shook hands, "Wow! The stone disappeared! Thank you, Master Ji, let's play hide-and-seek together next time!"

"Huh!" Master Ji jumped happily for a while and then disappeared.

It went back to Gobazo.

After the old routine, the torii and the tree roots returned to peace.

Hanasari also reappeared, "It's quite beautiful, whether it's Gohyuko's trick or the way you guys defeated the monsters."

"Oh, Paimon, I'm used to the masked witch's elusiveness." Paimon was not scared at all.

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'll try harder next time." There was a hint of cunning in the gentle Hanasari's voice.

Paimon was so annoyed that he jumped up and down, "Don't encourage this kind of thing!"

Hua Sanli hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but ask the question that she had always been concerned about.

"Is Gohyukura... okay?"

Su told her about Gobazo's current situation, "It's a very good and spiritual big rock."

Paimon carefully told Hanasari what happened to Gobazo.

"So that's how it is. Although the demon raccoons are naughty, they are kind-hearted and innocent, just like children. Generally speaking, when demon raccoons cause trouble, as long as they don't go too far, we won't send people to suppress them."

Hanasari sighed, "But, the talisman for the Great Purification is of great importance, and it is true that I have to be punished like this..."

Paimon asked Hanasari, "If you care about him so much, why don't you go and see him in person?"

Gobazo is kindhearted, and even when they have a quarrel, he is not really angry with his friends. If his friends visit him, he will definitely be happy.

Paimon remembered something else. "He said the only miko he knew was a 'stinky fox'. Are you a fox monster?"

Hua Sanli was silent for a moment, "······You really flatter me too much."

"He's talking about the daughter of Baichen's bloodline, known as Lady Fox Palace. In the past, she was honored as a fairy fox for worship in some places. I am not her noble self."

"Konisaigu...ah!" Su remembered where he had heard this name before, "The priestess of the Narugami Taisha Shrine said that she is a good friend of the God of Thunder and the former chief priest of the Narugami Taisha Shrine!"
