Yes, it would be difficult if the fairy fox wasn't a divine child, but it would be even more difficult if she were.
She was born silently in the darkness, so let her die silently as well.
"..." Yae no Miko listened in silence.
He made some unusual little gestures, even fidgeting with the hem of his clothes with his fingers, revealing his emotions.
Hana Sanri is right. If Lin Qiu hadn't had a solution, she would indeed have been in a very difficult situation.
Knowing that the other party was 'Kusai Palace', but having no way to keep him, felt too cruel.
Thankfully, there was the traveler; without him, she might have ended up having to perform the exorcism herself...
Hana Sanri would be very satisfied then, the little fox in her arms has grown up.
But what about her? She might laugh, even if her hands tremble and her voice trembles, she will still laugh.
She needs to let the other person know that she has grown up and is now a qualified priest.
She won't act like she did when she was little, so... maybe she should wait until the other person leaves before she cries?
“I didn’t want to make things difficult for them, so I’m very grateful to you, Traveler-sama,” Hanahara said.
Hana Sanri didn't do what she wanted to do because she didn't want to hurt or embarrass her 'former friends'.
Even now, she still thinks about her friends.
Just like the Fox Palace that was swallowed by darkness, what it was thinking about was not itself, but the people it cherished.
Hana-san shifted her gaze from Narukami Taisha to the moon. The moon was far away, but they had once tried to 'chase' it. How nostalgic! The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
I remember Yae no Miko once said that she wanted to participate in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons with everyone when she grew up, but unfortunately that didn't happen, and we didn't even get to see her grow up.
How is she? Is she happy? Is she growing taller? Is she sick?
And of those friends who used to parade with a hundred demons, how many are still alive today?
Hana Sanri pulled herself together and said, "I've got it. There's a short song in the memories of the Fox Palace that fits perfectly. May I use it?"
"The autumn moon I saw last year shines as brightly as it does tonight—but the one who shared it with me is now forever separated by time."
Paimon and Yingmei exchanged a glance, both seeing the sadness in each other's eyes.
The mask concealed Hana Sanri's expression, but her sadness could still be heard in her voice.
"Is that so? Well, I also thought of a line." Yae no Miko walked over gracefully.
"You still have the wind that longs for you, which is enviable; I wait for the wind to come, but it doesn't—how can I not lament?"
Everyone is thinking of you, and I am thinking of you too, but you have never come back.
Hana Sanri stared blankly at Yae no Miko, and after a long while, a smile appeared on her lips behind the mask.
"So it was you, the other fox spirit's aura, Divine Child."
"Hmm... Haha, it really is you."
Hana Sanri placed her hands in front of her, her posture elegant, observing this fox spirit who was somewhat 'unfamiliar' to her.
With her head tilted slightly, even through the mask, her smile was palpable.
"Grown up."

Character Voice Acting - Traveler: About Hana-sanri and Kitsune-sai-miya
Paimon: "Hanahara-san is so gentle."
Traveler: "Isn't Fox Palace gentle?"
Paimon: "Um... it's not that I'm not gentle, it's just... well, how should I put it?"
"It gave me the feeling, 'Wow, this person really is the parent of a divine child!'"
Traveler: "Paimon, have you been secretly going to school without telling me?"
Paimon: "Damn it! What does this mean?!"
Chapter 269 She took off her mask
Yes, we've grown up; so much time has passed.
But seeing you again now, hearing you speak, gives me a feeling of returning to my childhood.
It must be said that this mask is excellent; it concealed Hana Sanri's face, causing Yae no Miko to mistake the person behind the mask for Kitsune Sōkyū.
Because in the past, Fox Monk also wore a similar mask.
"You're still young. When you grow up, you can join everyone in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."
Back then, when Yae no Miko watched everyone 'competing for beauty' in the sky, she was filled with envy, and Kosai-no-kami comforted her.
Now that I've grown up, you and all of you are gone. I can now 'compete for beauty' in the sky, but where are the demons who can rival me?
I've become a renowned great yokai in Inatsume, and now I've finally earned your approval...
I finally heard those words: 'You've grown up.'
Upon hearing this, Yae no Miko almost couldn't resist the urge to throw herself into Hana Sanri's arms.
Fortunately, I had prepared myself mentally beforehand, which helped me resist the urge.
After calming down, Yae no Miko said, "Sigh, because of someone, I have to grow up quickly."
Hana Sanri thought that the "someone" Yae no Miko was referring to was herself, since if she hadn't died, Yae no Miko could indeed have lived a carefree life as a little fox.
Hana-san asked apologetically, "I'm sorry, Shinji, how have you been?"
The goddess shook her head. Hana-san thought the goddess was having a hard time, but the goddess said, "I shouldn't apologize."
"I'm doing great, I'm happy every day, really."
"But you lied to me. Even if you become a palace attendant, you won't have an endless supply of fried tofu. You'll only have endless official business to handle."
At this point, Yae no Miko sighed, seemingly lamenting that she had been too young back then.
He quickly smiled again and continued, "But I'm still very happy. I even started a bookstore. Isn't that amazing?"
Finally, her expression turned somewhat forlorn. "I only think of you occasionally, really only occasionally."
"It's only at this time that I feel a little unhappy."
Hana Sanri looked at Yae no Miko and wanted to reach out and touch Miko's head to comfort her, just like before.
But considering his current status and looking at the now-grown divine child, he ultimately did not do so.
Silently withdrawing her raised hand, Hana Sanri said:
“My Goddess, I’m so glad to see you again, but I hope you won’t stop the Great Purification of the Divine Cherry Blossom.”
Hana-san was also worried that Yae no Miko might do something foolish because she couldn't bear to part with 'her'.
The Great Purification Ceremony of the Divine Cherry Blossom must be performed, for the sake of Inazuma and also for the sake of Fox Maiden.
Yes, this is good for everyone, except for Hana Sanri.
Hana Sanri knows about Yae no Miko, but in 'her' memory, it is still the Miko from hundreds of years ago, and she is not clear about the changes that have taken place in the current Miko.
“Of course I won’t stop you,” Yae no Miko said with a smile.
"I won't stop it, but..." Yae no Miko gestured to Ying Mei with her eyes.
Yingmei understood and took out the doll that Lin Qiu had given her from her backpack.
"What is this?" Hana Sanri was full of questions. For some reason, she had a feeling that this 'doll' seemed to be 'attracting' her.
Hana Sanri's essence is a combination of obsession and filth; she has no 'physical body,' which is why she is attracted to this 'physical body.'
"This was a gift from a friend. Alas, I don't know how much I sacrificed for it." Yae no Kamiko rambled on.
She even wiped the corner of her eye with her fingers, looking pitiful.
Her tears weren't from feeling wronged, but rather from not being able to hold back when she saw Hana Sanri.
This is a good opportunity to wipe away her tears so that no one will know that Miss Fox has been crying.
After the doll was 'assembled', Yae no Miko and Hana Sanri explained its ingenious uses.
"So amazing?" Hana Sanri exclaimed in surprise.
In just a few hundred years, humanity has even created such a 'divine artifact'?
She was very happy. Hana Sanri herself didn't have a self-destructive tendency; she was just noble enough to be willing to sacrifice herself. Of course, it would be best if she could survive.
More importantly, once she entered the doll's body, she was no longer a 'monster'.
Hana-sanri doesn't know whether, once inside the doll, she will become either Kosai-miya or Hana-sanri.
To some extent, Hana Sanri is still unwilling to admit that she is Kitsune Sōkyō. Although the two share memories and emotions, they are somewhat different in consciousness and personality.
For example, Hana-san-ri doesn't like to tease people like Miss Fox.
Moreover, in Hana Sanri's heart, she was always a demon, not the great Fox Palace.
“I understand. That way, I won’t disappear after the Divine Cherry Blossom Great Exorcism,” Hana Sanri said.
Once inside the doll, her identity changed from 'monster' to 'human'.
The power brought by the defilement will disappear with the Great Purification of the Divine Cherry Blossom, but the memories and emotions will remain in the doll, shaping a 'new her'.
She won't disappear, it's just uncertain whether what remained at that time was her or 'her'.
However, Hana Sanri was not averse to it. She didn't care even if it disappeared, so why would she be afraid of 'returning' to the Fox Palace?
However, before disappearing, Hana Sanri still had some things she wanted to know. She was worried that if she turned back into Kosai-gumi, she would completely lose Hana Sanri's emotions.
Therefore, she wanted to confirm some things by using Hana Sanri's identity and Hana Sanri's emotions.
"Is Ying alright?" Hana Sanri asked.
"Of course Ying is doing well. He's eating and drinking well, and he's probably just finished reading your story."
"Right now, she's probably hiding in the Pure Land of One Heart, crying and making a fuss. Waaah, so pitiful," Yae no Miko said with a smile.
Although she doesn't have a system, she understands shadows.
She couldn't help but laugh after reading the story, let alone watching the movie.
That's only because Ying didn't know, otherwise she would have to refute it. Although I cried, I didn't make a scene!
"My story?" Hana Sanri then realized that the focus of the story in that book was on her.
She had thought the book focused on the Great Exorcism of the Divine Cherry Blossom, and at most revealed her identity, but she never expected that she was the focus of the story.
Hana Sanri was somewhat dazed, never expecting that she herself had become the protagonist of the story.
Will Inatsumi remember me? Not Kitsunemiya, but Hana-sanri.
...Isn't this request a bit excessive?
Hana Sanri snapped out of her daze and smiled, "Is that so...that's good."
After hesitating for a moment, Hana Sanri lifted her mask to reveal the corner of her mouth, letting everyone see her smile. "I hope that Kage will be even happier when she sees Kosai-gumi again."
Seemingly having made up her mind, she took off her mask.

"She actually managed to separate my consciousness... She really is a great person."
Chapter 270 So she was 'born'
The face behind the mask was not a hideous monster; it still bore some of the features of Kitsui-no-miya, which explains why Harunosuke Yukami mistook it for a monster at first glance.
However, Hana Sanri's hair and eyes were both jet black, and her face had an unnatural blackness that detracted from her beauty.
However, in this way, compared to the Fox Palace, it is exactly one black and one white.
