Chapter 170 Boss Su: This Stone is Really a Stone
……
After purifying the third tree root, Kamisato Ayaka and Su Li met Hanasari again.
"Ms. Hanasari, let me tell you..."
Kamisato Ayaka repeated Gohyukura's words to Hanasari in detail.
After listening to Kamisato Ayaka's description, Hanasari's tone became noticeably nostalgic.
Then, she told Kamisato Ayaka everything that happened that year.
"…When the world turned dark, Kitsunasai was worried that Gobazo would fight an enemy he could not defeat in order to protect the forest, and die as a result. So he deliberately challenged him with the game of hide-and-seek that the raccoon demon was good at…"
[…Whatever happens, it is my spell to lure you in. Don’t be deceived and don’t show up…]
[Of course, you stinky fox. This time, I will definitely defeat you and make you admit defeat sincerely!]
"…As for Kitsunayagū, it was swallowed by the darkness. When the darkness was finally slain, it returned to the land of Narukami along with the mud…"
"Then Miss Hanasari, who are you..."
Looking at the puzzled Kamisato Ayaka, Hanasari hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "I... I actually inherited her memory... As for more specific things, when the time comes, I will tell you everything..."
Did Hanasari inherit Kitsaigumi's memories?
So... is Hanasari, who inherited Kitsunayagumiya's memories, really [Kitsunayagumiya] or... [Hanasari]?
Kamisato Ayaka was a little confused.
"…Then, the next purification will be up to you two. I will pray for you at the roots of the Thunder Sakura tree that you successfully purified under the well in Konda Village. When all five roots are purified, please come find me there…"
Seeing that Hanasari was unwilling to say anything more, Kamisato Ayaka had no choice but to continue with the Kamisakura Daiba.
As for the doubts in her mind, she decided to wait until she finished the big project before asking the other party in detail.
Because of the experience of purifying the tree roots in the first few times, it didn’t take long to purify the last two tree roots.
And Hanasari seemed to have returned to the well in Konda Village as mentioned before. After the fourth and fifth purifications were completed, she did not appear to answer some of Kamisato Ayaka's questions like she did in the previous times.
In Kanda Village, under the dry well.
"Ms. Hanasari, we are back."
Seeing Hanasari looking up at the purified tree roots in a daze not far away, Kamisato Ayaka subconsciously called out.
"…You did a great job. The roots of the Thunder Sakura have been transmitting your achievements to me."
Although Hanasari's tone was calm, for some reason, Kamisato Ayaka always felt that the other party seemed to be in a bad mood.
Even the hint of agility that was always present in Hua Sanli's words before disappeared at this moment.
Kamisato Ayaka was about to ask Hanasari what was wrong, but Hanasari seemed to see what Kamisato Ayaka wanted to say and quickly changed the subject: "…I am really terrified, I have something to confess to you two…
"When I first met you two, I thought you two were people with ulterior motives, but as the progress of the big entanglement, you two not only proved my shallowness and stupidity, but also far exceeded my expectations.
"I can't help but feel regretful. If there were people like you two around Hu Zhai Palace, then perhaps..."
Kamisato Ayaka: “Maybe…?”
"It's nothing, I just talked too much." Hua Sanli didn't say that sentence in the end.
then.
Hanasari told Kamisato Ayaka that the most crucial step in the exorcism of the Divine Sakura is to remove the barrier of the Divine Sakura and eliminate the miasma that has accumulated at the roots of the Divine Sakura for many years. The roots of the Divine Sakura are located deep in Yingxiang Mountain.
Simply put, the previous five tree roots were just branches, while the tree roots deep in Yingxiang Mountain were the main roots.
The unsealed shadow went deep into the mountain.
Kamisato Ayaka saw the roots of the divine cherry blossoms, which were thicker and more seriously polluted than the previous five roots.
Looking at the terrifying aura ahead that could be clearly felt even from such a distance, Kamisato Ayaka, who had previously treated Kamizakura Oka as a puzzle game, finally became serious.
"This tree root... is indeed different from the previous ones." Kamisato Ayaka drew out her katana, and the bone-chilling ice elemental power condensed on the katana.
Although she has not yet seen the filthy monster condensed from the roots of this tree, no matter how she thinks about it, Kamisato Ayaka feels that the enemy she will face in a while will not be underestimated in strength.
Just as she was about to step forward to complete the final purification, Su Li, who had been standing by to do nothing, suddenly grabbed Kamisato Ayaka's arm and pulled her behind him.
"Okay, okay, the puzzle game is over." Su Li looked at Kamisato Ayaka who was looking at him with puzzled eyes, and smiled, "Let me do the next thing."
After all, he just wanted Kamisato Ayaka to experience the fun of adventure and puzzle solving. As for the [powerful enemy] who might hurt her, he still didn't want her to take risks.
Besides...
I never had the chance to play with it before... I wanted to try the third divine key, the Seven Thunders of Purification, which was constructed using the power of reason and law. Su Li was really curious about how powerful that thing was.
"Okay." Kamisato Ayaka nodded and put away her sword.
Su Li glanced at the huge [Miasma Tumor] not far away, and with a thought, a uniquely shaped sniper rifle appeared in Su Li's hand.
"Then... let's end this battle with one shot."
Su Li pointed the muzzle of the gun at the miasma and pulled the trigger before any filthy monster emerged. He didn't want to go through the trouble a second time.
Nourishes—
Blue-purple electric light surrounded the gun, and the next moment.
boom!
A straight blue-purple electric light shot out from the muzzle.
A loud explosion and a strong flash were heard from the area where the bullet hit. After the smoke and dust cleared, Kamisato Ayaka was shocked to find that at this time, not to mention the tumor, even the hard rock wall behind the tumor had been pierced by the previous shot, leaving an extremely deep and straight cave. The entrance of the cave was so deep that it was impossible to tell how deep it was.
This earth-shattering blow was so shocking that not only Kamisato Ayaka, but even Hanasato who appeared again was stunned for a long time before they reacted.
She looked at the roots of the sacred cherry tree, which had been cleared of the miasma but nearly destroyed by a single bullet, and then looked at Su Li, who put away his gun as if nothing had happened and walked aside as if nothing had happened, as if admiring the gravel at his feet.
Hua Sanli: “…”
But overall, the matter was resolved.
Hanasari looked at Kamisato Ayaka and Su Li in front of her, and said in a tone that was barely keeping calm: "... You did a great job. You two really are the [destined ones]... Oh, right. As for the [remuneration] that I agreed to at the beginning, I should also..."
"Wait!" Kamisato Ayaka, who had just recovered from the earth-shattering blow, saw that Hanasari didn't seem to have answered her doubts at all, so she couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Hanasari, after the Kamisakura Daibu is completed, won't you tell us about your own affairs?"
