Chapter 138

Inazuma.

Narukami Island, Konda Village.

Here, there was a shrine maiden wearing shrine maiden clothes, always wearing a fox mask on her face, standing under a fox statue:

Many villagers felt this person was a weirdo because she rarely spoke and rarely communicated with others; in short, she was strange everywhere.

The video once featured the plotline of Hanachirusato; although it was only a fleeting glimpse, it allowed the villagers to learn about this strange shrine maiden.

Hanachirusato, is she seemingly the embodiment of filth?

The villagers of Konda Village did not dislike her and even enthusiastically brought her food.

They did not know that Hanachirusato did not actually need to eat.

However, Hanachirusato felt the goodwill people held for her, which made her feel somewhat panicked.

She also belonged to the ranks of the transcendent; although she was very, very weak and merely a piece of filth, she truly belonged to the transcendent ranks.

Hanachirusato did not know how to describe her own mood.

She was merely a creature formed from the combination of filth and a portion of memories left behind by that person in the ley lines.

She was not human, nor was she a yokai; her essence was merely polluted filth, something that should be purified.

Hanachirusato had long been prepared for this; although she felt a bit sad, she kept her mission firmly in mind.

"What are you thinking about?"

Just as Hanachirusato was lost in thought, footsteps suddenly came from beside her, followed by a soft, sweet voice.

As soon as Hanachirusato turned her head, she saw Paimon flying over with a face full of curiosity.

"Hanachirusato, you really were waiting for us here!" Paimon kicked her little feet happily, then handed the dessert in her hand to Hanachirusato.

Hanachirusato subconsciously took it and hurriedly thanked her: "It, it's you, thank you, thank you all!"

"Hanachirusato, this time we won't let you disappear!"

Lumine curled the corners of her mouth.

Lumine, possessing all the memories of her past life, could be considered familiar with Hanachirusato.

If the main content played in the video was the main storyline, then the occasionally flashed fragments were side quests.

The Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual happened to be among them.

Therefore, Lumine held some affection for Hanachirusato, this embodiment of filth, because she was truly unique, just as Gu Chen had said: rising from the mud without being stained.

She truly managed to maintain a pure heart despite being born in filth.

Was it caused by the memories of Kitsune Saiguu?

No one could say for sure, but the only thing that was certain was that Hanachirusato was determined to persist with the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual; only in this way could Inazuma be spared from the pollution of filth.

Hanachirusato was a bit bewildered.

Yae Miko narrowed her eyes.

To be honest, upon knowing that Hanachirusato held a portion of Kitsune Saiguu's memories, Yae Miko had wanted to bully this little shrine maiden, but thinking of her pitiful background, Yae Miko gave up.

[Empty]

Although the Guuji liked to tease people, it depended on the target; she wouldn't just bully others casually.

At least... wait until she was familiar with her before bullying her.

Yae Miko looked at Hanachirusato with a wicked, cunning gaze, which made Hanachirusato feel somewhat afraid.

In her memories, Kitsune Saiguu seemed to like bullying this current Guuji.

She wouldn't want to take revenge on me, would she?

Hanachirusato shivered.

"No rush to reminisce, let's go, come with me to work!"

Lumine reached out and grabbed Hanachirusato.

"Oh, oh." Hanachirusato nodded subconsciously.

The Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual went much smoother, and it was also very easy with Yae Miko tagging along.

At least for things like puzzle-solving, Lumine didn't need to use her brain.

Who told Gu Chen to be Yae Miko's brother-in-law? According to their status, she could also be considered Yae Miko's sister!

Of course, a sister should order her younger sister to do the work!

After finishing the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual and clearing the prepared tumor, Lumine used the item Gu Chen gave her to preserve Hanachirusato's existence.

Paimon asked curiously: "What is the principle behind this ring?"

Yae Miko took a look and said: "It probably purifies the filth on Hanachirusato, preserving the purest consciousness... it's equivalent to the soul residing on the ring."

"It's quite convenient, here you go, Hanachirusato can just happen to help you all." Lumine handed the ring to Yae Miko.

Yae Miko didn't refuse either, after all, everyone was family.

With this ring, Hanachirusato could freely maintain her existence.

Giving Ei a simple little shrine maiden who could work... she must be very moved, right?

That afternoon.

The Shogunate issued a decree to recruit talent.

Gu Chen and Raiden Zhen couldn't help Raiden Ei forever.

Gu Chen enjoyed life and didn't want to do things, while Raiden Zhen wanted to stick to her husband.

It just so happened that Raiden Ei inherited the position of Shogun, so she was inevitably miserable.

In order to keep Raiden Ei from coming up with any more strange ideas, Gu Chen believed they must recruit more talent.

Hanamizaka.

"Shinobu, let's go sign up quickly!"

"With my greatness, I'll definitely become the Tenryou Commission's Grand General easily!"

Arataki Itto was very confident.

Kuki Shinobu helplessly held her forehead, not wanting to speak.

Become the Tenryou Commission's Grand General easily?

Boss, stop messing around.

Let alone becoming a Grand General, they might not even want you as a foot soldier.

After all, the army emphasizes strict obedience to orders, and with our boss's personality, he might not listen to these at all...

Therefore.

"What?!"

"You actually think I have no wisdom?!"

"Shinobu, they said I'm a blockhead!"

Arataki Itto was furious.

Too hateful.

Who in this Hanamizaka area doesn't know Arataki "Number One Fighter" Itto?!

The place recruiting talent actually doesn't want him?

Do you know how much psychological damage this caused to a hot-blooded young Oni?!

"I'm going to report you!"

Arataki Itto was so angry he wanted to file a complaint.

[Arataki Itto]: @[Gu Chen] General! Those Shogunate staff members executing the recruitment decree won't take me! They said I have no brains, this is too insulting... too

insulting to an Oni! (Annoyed)

[Gu Chen]: Hard to comment. (Shrugs)

[Raiden Zhen]: Eh, there's actually such a thing?

[Yoimiya]: Hahahahaha, I know about this, but Arataki Itto, you'd better forget it, you can't help if you go, instead you'll drag them down, you are more suitable for executing more arduous

tasks! (Serious face)

[Arataki Itto]: I can't help?! A joke! I didn't get where I am today by being a pushover... wait, what is a more arduous task?! Only I can do it?!

(Excited)

[Kamisato Ayato]: (Kamisato Ayato drinks milk tea and watches the show)

[Yoimiya]: Play more with the children in Inazuma City. (Hu Tao, wicked smile)

[Arataki Itto]: Ah?! What kind of arduous task is this! (Arataki Itto scratches his head)

[Gu Chen]: Let them have a happy childhood and get rid of the depression brought by the Vision Hunt Decree and the Sakoku Decree. (Convinced)

[Kaeya]: You really understand high emotional intelligence. (Funny)

[Arataki Itto]: ???

[Kuki Shinobu]: Boss, this is indeed very important. (Nods)

[Arataki Itto]: Hahahaha, since it's so important, then I'll do it! (Arataki Itto laughs loudly)
