Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Alright, the goal has been set!
Then what needs to be done now is to immediately move for Arin’s awakening, as they say strike while the iron is hot… No, it’s time to do a fortune-telling!
Just rushing out recklessly won’t produce anything.
As always, I should do a fortune-telling like the amateur fortune-teller I am! As always!
Whenever something big happens to move, it was mostly related to fortune-telling.
And above all, shouldn’t I determine through fortune-telling when and how much to start working?
If I do well, I might have to close the business again not long after reopening… but actually, that’s not really a problem.
It’s not urgent for me, right? Although I live as a fortune-teller, it’s not a situation where I need to do fortune-telling to make a living, and I’m living very comfortably now.
The one in need digs the well, and as long as I’m not the one in need, the ones who need to dig the well are not me but the people who come to me.
‘Hmm, but since I rested for too long and opened for a short time, I should probably do business once more if possible.’
Sigh… Honestly, with my personality that really hates doing work, isn’t this already a huge concession?
“If it seems like it’ll take a long time, I’ll do business once more and then go, if it seems like it can be resolved quickly, I’ll just start right away.”
If it takes a long time, I’ll have to rest for a long time, so I’ll do business for a day, and if it’s a problem that can be resolved quickly, I’ll be back soon, so there’s no need to do business for one more day.
Anyway, the important thing is the fortune-telling.
“In this kind of situation… card reading, the fundamental method, is the answer.”
Using Arin to see about Arin’s matter seems a bit ambiguous, it’s too early to do astrology with the sun still high in the sky, and physiognomy is even more ambiguous. Arin is an artifact, right?
There are several other outlandish methods… but what I feel like doing now is card reading.
And fortune-telling always comes out well when you do what you feel like doing. Hasn’t it always been like that for me?
“Ah, it’s annoying to go downstairs. Since I haven’t taken it out of the subspace yet, I’ll just do it in my room.”
It’s been about a day since Yu Gangpyeong came and went. It’s already been a day since the bomb flew in from the former North Korean lawless zone.
I was shocked mentally, so I just let one day pass by. In other words, I spent it meaninglessly rolling around in bed.
Anyway, if a little more time passes, it will be the day for fortune-telling, so it’s a bit much to rest more, and I need to quickly finish it today.
“Should I… bring Arin? No. I don’t need to bring her.”
Usually, if you’re fortune-telling someone else’s future, of course you’d need the person themselves, but for me, that’s not really necessary.
If it’s related to me, I just think in that direction and do the fortune-telling and it comes out, and if I see through a related person, I can look over as if climbing over a wall through the connection.
In this case, Arin, the crystal ball artifact, recognizes me as her owner and is close to me, and it’s also something I’m directly intending to do, so it means I can see through myself.
Well, enough with the annoying explanation…
Chwalak! Chwalak! Chut! Chwakchwakchwak! Chwareuruk! Jjararak!!
Habitually showing off my impressive skills even though there’s no one watching, I shuffled the cards and then spread the shuffled deck on the floor.
“Hmm… is it about two cards today?”
It’s not such a light matter.
How could it be light? What I want now is an action to create one more of the extremely rare EX-rank transcendents in this world.
But even though it’s such a heavy matter, if only two cards come out… it’s simple.
Either it was a matter that could be resolved simply, or it’s a cost-effective fortune-telling packed tightly into one card.
Looking at it, this case seems…
“…like the latter?”
After gently pulling out two cards that I felt drawn to and flipping them over, I clicked my tongue.
Actually, whichever of the two cases it turns out to be, there’s not much difference, but the easier one to read is the former case where it comes out short and concise.
“Oh, it’s long this time too.”
The things that appeared when I flipped over the two cards were, first, a trap card called ‘Divine Beast Grand Summon’.
It’s a card used in the ‘Divine Beast’ card theme, and its effect is simply to summon Divine Beast cards.
However, when used in fortune-telling, its purpose is a bit different.
“This seems to be the ingredients we need to obtain. Let’s see… Dragon’s cintamani… Qilin’s horn… Phoenix’s crest… Millennial ghost turtle’s shell… Eye of chaos… Fei Huang Deng Dal’s bone… Kunpeng’s wing… Oh damn, why are there so many???”
What I realized while muttering without thinking was that there were… a lot of ingredients.
And they’re all filled with things that seem difficult to obtain.
“When I first saw it, I thought it wasn’t an ordinary origin, but when I actually look properly, it seems it was more amazing than I thought…?”
I saw roughly back then. Arin is a kind of final legacy and treasure created by some great being in some way.
It’s an object created by putting in only amazing things, and now I see it was made by extracting and embedding the powers of numerous divine animals in addition to its own.
That’s why even though it’s just a crystal ball, it has tremendous potential, and to fully bloom that potential, you need to cram in all those amazing things.
The reason it takes so much effort is because Arin is a being that is completed after continuously absorbing naturally existing energy and accumulating pure power, and trying to compress that long process into a single moment is why so many items are needed.
The reason why things from legendary or divine animals that we’ve all heard of somewhere exist as ingredients is because of this. The power of such divine beasts, regardless of what qualities they have, is extremely deep and pure in its energy.
Oh, by the way, I learned this information while fortune-telling.
“Anyway, in addition to that… Ten thousand year old monkey’s venom, pearl of the Ten Thousand Refined Great Shell… What else, Ten Thousand Year Flower’s inner pill and ten thousand year old wild ginseng, lastly Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence and Extreme Heat Flame Essence… Oh boy, every single one sounds like hell-level difficulty just hearing it.”
But the fact that I foresaw it through fortune-telling means there’s a possibility of obtaining it.
It’s telling me because it’s possible, there’s no way it would tell me if it wasn’t possible, right?
“But the one who created Arin, what on earth did they make Arin with for the awakening ingredients to be like this?? They must have been extremely devoted…”
How should one make something for the list of ingredients to awaken it to EX-rank to come out like that… Whew, I can’t even imagine, I can’t even imagine.
I sighed deeply and opened the next card.
The card that came out this time was a monster card, ‘Wandering Adventurer’.
The effect is not worth looking at and not important, but from the perspective of amateur card reading, the meaning this card has is…
“It’s a kind of map showing where to get those ingredients?”
The moment I saw it, I could clearly see where all those ingredients that seemed difficult to obtain even one of were located and how to obtain them.
“As expected, there’s no way they’d just throw such things at me, right?”
As expected of my amateur card reading! It always gives an answer?! And the accuracy is 100%!
This is why I might not trust my own power, but I trust my fortune-telling.
Maybe I didn’t do so in the past, but now I’ve experienced too much to deny even my fortune-telling.
I’ve done so many fortune-tellings, and all of those fortune-tellings have come true. The methods were diverse, but no matter how outlandish and bizarre the method of fortune-telling, there was never a failure.
Isn’t that why people crowd in front of my house on fortune-telling days? They all come because it’s worth it. If not for that, there would be no reason to come, right? It’s not like people came just to torment me.
“It’s strange… Should I say it feels like the content of the fortune-telling is engraved in my head? I’ve never thought I had a good memory, but this is just vividly coming to mind.”
I guess this is my amateur fortune-telling. It’s still disgustingly excellent in performance.
And after looking at the places where I could obtain all those things that sound like they could come out of a martial arts novel…
“Oh boy, looks like I need to go on another trip.”
The conclusion was drawn that I would need to take a world tour to obtain them all.
Get them quickly? That’s out of the question. It seemed like I would need to spend some time.
“Hmm, but it’s an advantage that some of them seem like they can be obtained a bit more easily.”
The fortunate thing is that I don’t need to search for all the ingredients as if headbutting bare ground. Among the connections I’ve built up so far, there were a few people who had those ingredients.
Well, even so, the fact that it seems like it’ll be hard work doesn’t change…
“Whew, if it’s like this, it would be better to finish all the work for this week and then leave.”
This is another good opportunity to skip work like the Mongolia business trip, but since I rested quite a lot during the last Mongolia business trip, I felt conscious and thought it would be better to at least make a show of working this time before going.
So after a few days passed, I crammed a week’s worth of work into one day, immediately put up a closed sign, took a good nap and rested, and then started choosing a few people I knew to determine who would go on the trip together.
And when the personnel selection was finalized, after gathering all the people and perfectly recovering my terribly tired condition to completely revive, I shouted energetically.
“Alright, then let’s go find those divine ingredients!!”
All for making Arin into an EX-rank!!
