"Uncle Chaimen and Auntie are not at home. Also, I ordered the fireworks, so thank you for your help."
Then, to Xiao Gong's surprise, the person who appeared at the door of Chaimen's house was a young man he did not know.
——Yes, young man.
Xiao Gong knows all the young people in Konda Village. Because of the national isolation order, the business of violet flower textile raw materials in Konda Village declined. Most of the young people went to Inazuma Castle to make a living.
There shouldn't be any young people here whom you don't know.
Are you a relative of the Shibamon family?
Many doubts came to Xiao Gong's mind, but his professionalism made him say: "I want to confirm, can you tell me who placed the order?"
"I asked Ichiro Shibamon to place the order. I think he went to the Naganohara family to order it himself. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Li Mo, a friend of Ichiro Shibamon."
"Oh, this is the fireworks that Ichiro Shibamon ordered. Sorry, I just wanted to confirm it. The distance from Inazuma Castle to here is quite far, and it takes me a long time to get here. Hehe." Xiao Gong said, touching the back of his head.
Li Mo said: "This is a normal action. Excuse me, how do you use these fireworks?"
He has seen fireworks. Among the most famous things in modern Japan, fireworks must be one of them. The saying that seeing the rising fireworks in the eyes of a lover is the most beautiful is very popular on the Internet.
However, those who have eaten pork may not have seen pigs run. Li Mo has seen fireworks rise into the night sky, but he does not know how fireworks are released. In his distant memory, fireworks seem to need to ignite the fuse.
——Instead of trying to figure it out on your own, it’s better to ask a professional directly.
The Xiao Palace in front of us is a professional.
"Hmm? Li Mo is indeed a traveler from a foreign country. Haven't you used Inazuma's fireworks? They're actually very simple to use."
The name, combined with the behavior, was enough to tell that the young man was a foreigner. In today's Inazuma, it was rare for a guest to appear.
"Let's just say I'm a Liyue person." Li Mo said.
Soon, the two did not discuss this topic any more. Instead, they discussed how to use fireworks. By the way, Li Mo also asked a little about the composition of fireworks. After all, when talking about fireworks, one can think of gunpowder, and then think of firearms. The degree of jump in thinking made Li Mo ask if there is something similar to firearms in this world.
"A musket? I seem to have seen that idea somewhere before. Well, I guess it can't even break the shield of the hillbillies." Xiao Gong said.
Li Mo asked casually, this world does not have the foundation for the development of conventional firearms. The existence of the extraordinary has, to some extent, suppressed the development of this aspect. The equipment and technology tree of the Fatui are completely different from those in the normal world.
Soon, Li Mo learned how to operate it. Setting off fireworks is a fool-proof operation, even slightly older children can do it.
"Thank you, Xiao Gong."
"You're welcome. Next time you buy fireworks, remember to come to Naganohara Fireworks Store!"
After advertising her home, the lively and energetic girl left first. Her legs were not slow, after all, she was a person with the God's Eye. But there was a full White Fox Field between Inazuma Castle and Konda Village. It would take her some time to get home.
Li Mo slowly told the Chaimen family that he was going out, and then left with the fireworks.
The abandoned shrine is some distance away from Konda Village, but considering Li Mo's walking speed, it only takes a short time to get there.
Hanasari still stood in front of the abandoned shrine, as if this was the only place she was familiar with.
Yes, Korekami Harunosuke was a figure from hundreds of years ago. During the chat, Li Mo learned that Hanasari had met Korekami Harunosuke. The other party also commented that Hanasari was one-quarter similar to Kosaigu. And the place of the meeting was in this abandoned shrine.
Hanasari has been wandering the world for many years, and perhaps the place where she has stayed the longest is this abandoned shrine.
Li Mo didn't think much about it. He walked up and said, "Miss Hua Sanli, let's set off the fireworks."
Chapter 103 Rising Fireworks
In Hanasari's eyes, the young man came here with empty hands. When he came in front of her and said "Let's watch the fireworks together", two or three boxes of things appeared on the ground.
It's fireworks.
Hanasari had never seen anything like this before, and Kitsusaigumi's memory told her directly that these were fireworks.
Why fireworks?
When they were in the desolate sea, the young man in front of him suggested that they take a rest today and he would come to the abandoned shrine to find him in the evening.
Why are you looking for yourself?
Questions lingered in Hua Sanli's mind, but she could not find the answers by just imagining.
Li Mo placed the answer in front of himself.
She really didn't expect that the answer Li Mo handed in would be fireworks.
The fireworks had nothing to do with what the two of them were doing—the "Great Purification of the Divine Sakura".
Then she heard the other party's response.
“From my perspective as an outsider, the only thing that hasn’t changed in Inazuma for 500 years, apart from the general, is the fireworks.
Even though the manufacturing process of fireworks is changing, even though the pyrotechnicians who make fireworks are changing. But the meaning of fireworks themselves has always existed. "
Li Mo's time at Inazuma was not long, just a week at most.
But he thought he knew Inazuma very well.
Is it because you have played games before? Probably not. When the game is written into reality, many things change. For example, the shadow mountain, looking up, towering into the clouds. The time required to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top is measured in "hours". And it is calculated based on Li Mo's walking speed.
The shadow is towards the mountain, which is very high.
Narukami Island is very big.
The scale of Konda Village has also increased a lot.
The reason was probably that the communication in reality and the information in the game made Li Mo understand a lot.
So, there is this feeling.
Maybe in the future, reality will teach Li Mo to be a man and not to be arrogant. But now, he is like this.
"Hana Sanri, have you ever seen fireworks in Kitsai Palace?"
Li Mo's tone was decisive, but the content was a question mark. Doubts should not be too certain.
Hanasari said, her voice full of laughter: "Are you so sure that Lord Kitsusai has seen fireworks?"
"Yes, I'm sure. The Konda family has records about this. Kitsusai-gū is willing to make connections with both humans and monsters. So how could he not watch the fireworks?"
Li Mo fiddled with the fireworks and said, "Speaking of which, why is it so clean here? There are very few weeds. If it weren't for this, we would have to find another place to set off the fireworks."
The abandoned shrine is very large. Entering from the torii gate and going up the stone steps, you will find that the shrine is half the size of Konda Village. What was this place used for?
Li Mo didn't ask.
The answer to the question is not important. What is important is that there is a large enough area to set off the fireworks.
"Eaten dinner yet?"
"It seems like not yet. But I did bring some seasonings myself, and I'm too lazy to go back to Konda Village. I'll go see if there's anything to eat nearby."
At the foot of Yingxiang Mountain, Li Mo didn't think he would be short of food. Walking east for a while, he would reach the Town Guard Forest, where there were no shortage of small animals. Li Mo's hunting skills were still fresh.
As soon as the mind moves, it can be acted upon. The biggest gain in the Demon Slayer world is that Li Mo is willing to do whatever he thinks of. His ability to act is several levels higher.
Soon, Li Mo returned from the Guarding Forest. He had nothing in his hands, just like when he came, but when he arrived at his destination, a wild boar's corpse suddenly appeared in front of him.
Under Hua Sanli's strange eyes, Li Mo said embarrassedly: "Originally, I wanted to catch rabbits, squirrels and the like. But unfortunately, not long after entering the forest, this wild boar rushed towards me in a panic. I had no choice but to accept it with reluctance."
Li Mo's dissection skills are also very good, because the wild boar's body structure is roughly the same as that in other worlds.
In fact, at the beginning he thought that if he couldn't find any prey, he would look for a camp of Hillil people and take advantage of it.
Hua Sanli was not in a hurry, but watched Li Mo's actions from the side. It was still early, and the sun was still in the western sky, creating red clouds.
"Do you remember our previous conversation in the desolate sea? At the end, did you need to prepare for that leap?"
Tomorrow is the final stage of the "God's Sakura Purification", and the first thing to do is to jump down and enter the cave of Shadow Mountain. This requires extraordinary courage.
"Hana Sanri, is there really no spell that can make me fly? I don't have wings of wind, so I can't glide."
The traveler has the Wings of Wind, but I don't. I want to go to Mondstadt, maybe I can get the Wings of Wind. But I can't go to Mondstadt now.
It would take at least half a year to go back and forth, and he didn't know how to use the ground anchor points to transfer time and space.
"I don't have such a spell. Sorry."
"It's okay, I'll just go to the Naruto Taisha Shrine and ask tomorrow." Li Mo undoubtedly thought of the fox who read light novels at the Naruto Taisha Shrine.
No matter how you look at it, the fox's life is pretty leisurely. So leisurely that it only has its eyes on this side, so why not bother it more?
Before the "Great Purification of the Divine Sakura" is over, I am still useful.
Based on this, Li Mo came up with this idea.
Later, they had barbecue. Li Mo was not particular about food, but he had the seasonings in his hand, and the barbecue tasted pretty good.
Time came to night. When the day was blocked by the black curtain, the stars dotted the dark time. Li Mo, bathed in the firelight, knew that it was time to set off the fireworks.
Disturb the fuse and hide nearby. Watch the fireworks rise into the sky. When they reach a certain height, the fireworks spread out and spread into beautiful flowers.
"It's the same as before."
In her ears, there was the sound of fireworks. Wearing a mask, Hanasari watched the fireworks in the night, and the memories of Kitsai Palace also rose in the ocean of consciousness.
“Master Kitsai-gū also likes to watch fireworks.
In her memory, she once watched fireworks with a child, but... the next time she watched the fireworks, the child next to her would change.
From a child to an adult. From being single to getting married and having children. From being young to being old. "
Hanasari said that those were memories belonging to Kitsaigumi.
Then, the masked shrine maiden said, "I saw a lot. Lady Kitsusai has many memories of watching fireworks. Among them, there are her exchanges with the general. She once invited the general to watch the fireworks together. But the general refused. The general said that during the fireworks display, you can also see the rising fireworks while sitting in the castle tower..."
Hua Sanli did not continue speaking.
Because Li Mo stopped her.
He said, "It is Hanasari who stands before me today, not Kosaigumi."
"I understand."
Hanasari is the "continuation" of Kitsaigu.
It’s just a continuation.
Hanasari's existence, Hanasari's life value, and Hanasari's goals are all based on the memories and thoughts of Kitsukosaiguni.
But, Hua Sanli is Hua Sanli.
Tonight, only the shrine maiden named Hanasari and the samurai named Li Mo watched the fireworks...
