Chapter 54 - The Amateur Fortune Teller's Confession Consulting
I was comfortably eating snacks at home when suddenly a crazy guy appeared in front of the door.
“Please!!! Help me!!! Savior!!!”
“????”
Let’s say it’s fine that he came to my house. Didn’t an ordinary person somehow find out the location of my house and come to have their fortune told last time too? That huge guy must have found out somehow too.
But why is he suddenly banging his head and desperately shouting in front of the gate, and why is he calling me savior??
“…Now even crazy people are coming as customers…”
Hmm, should I say it’s fortunate this didn’t happen in the early days of my fortune-telling life? Now, even if a troublemaker or a crazy person comes, my friends living with me can restrain them, but that was impossible back then.
Come to think of it, I might have been unexpectedly brave back then. Or maybe not.
“Ahem… Excuse me, it’s troublesome if you do this here…”
“Oh my, if you cause a disturbance here, it’ll be really bad, really bad! Let’s get up first!”
“Kuung…!! Why isn’t he moving at all?!”
Anyway, since there was a noisy disturbance in front of the gate, I and Baek Young-hoon, an A-rank superhuman from the Cheongsung Guild in charge of guarding our house, and his colleagues first tried to raise that unidentified giant, but…
As if living up to his size, the giant didn’t move an inch.
“…Tsk, this has become troublesome… Geez…”
It’s awkward to use force against a person who hasn’t moved an inch except for shouting loudly when he first banged his head, but we can’t just leave him like this either.
Anyway, while the Cheongsung security team was having a headache due to the suddenly appeared assailant, the assailant who took a posture as if making a big bow while banging his head strongly enough to make a thud sound towards the house beyond the gate shouted loudly again.
“Just once, really!!! Please help this pitiful guy!!! I’ll really do anything!!! Savior, please!!!”
“Aish, why are you destroying the innocent ground again!!”
“Aish, we decorated this ourselves… Looks like we’ll have to work hard again…”
“…Ahem, I’m really sorry about that… I’m in a bit of a hurry…”
Still, he seemed to feel guilty as he slightly turned his head and apologized when they grumbled next to him.
Hmm, it seems he has plenty of conscience unexpectedly. What an interesting person…
But why does he keep calling me savior?? That’s really not great…
By this point, I was starting to get curious about what kind of fortune he wanted to see so badly that he was doing this. Did he get a serious illness? Or did his parents get an incurable disease…
Anyway, well, big guy, if your goal was to draw out my curiosity, you’ve succeeded. As a winning prize, I’ll let you have your fortune told. Of course, you’ll have to pay the fee, right?
Having decided to see that giant’s fortune like that, I finished eating the cookie I was eating and went out of the room towards the underground fortune-telling room.
“Black Cat, bring that person in. Seeing how earnest he is, I should give him a fortune-telling.”
“Yes! I understand nya! I’ll bring him in swiftly and accurately nya!!”
And when I asked Black Cat, who I saw while going down, to bring that giant in, Black Cat smiled brightly and headed outside.
“Nyaang! Congratulations! The teacher says he’ll see you nya!”
“R-really?! Thank you so much, savior!!”
And not long after, the giant’s bright and resonant voice rang out again from outside.
…I wonder if Old Man Hoseo isn’t complaining about noise pollution? Hahaha…
Anyway, after sitting in the fortune-telling room and waiting a bit like that, the giant from earlier appeared.
“Ah, hello, savior!!”
“Just call me teacher. Savior is too much… By the way, seeing you directly, you’re really big? Well, sit here for now.”
First, after seating the giant in a chair, I smiled and looked at the giant.
…It’s really fortunate we bought a huge chair and put it here. The chair almost got smashed… No, forget about smashing, with this person’s size, he probably couldn’t even sit on an ordinary chair?!
“Well then, let’s first hear the reason why you wanted to see me so badly that you caused such a commotion!”
“Ah, yes teacher… Well, it’s like this…”
And the content I heard from the giant who introduced himself as Ma Dal-su was… completely different from what I had imagined.
“Hmm… So you want to fulfill your first love, is that right??”
“Yes, teacher!! I’m really desperate!!”
Hmm… First love… Wanting to fulfill first love…
Of course, it’s a very important story, but… how should I put it… It feels a bit anticlimactic?
‘Ah, come to think of it, this situation happened once before too…’
B-rank superhuman Kim Ju-hwan, a high-ranking superhuman and Kang Min-ji’s subordinate, who had a quite huge physique, though not as much as this man in front of me.
At that time, he came to me and asked about love, and as a result of the fortune-telling, it came out as a very, well… extremely perverted and ero-manga-like strange fortune, but that fortune really hit the mark and they’re living happily together, he was the owner of the first love fortune in my fortune-telling life.
Similar love fortune, and a huge superhuman… Isn’t it similar? Although it’s a bit out of nowhere, it felt good like looking back at my beginnings.
Anyway, now back to the main point, wanting to fulfill first love…
“Hmm, the name of the woman you like is Yoon Seo-yeon, right?”
“Huh?! H-how did you know that when I didn’t even tell you…!!”
“Didn’t I say? I’m a fortune teller. I can see that much just by looking at your face.”
I was too lazy to explain and even if I wanted to, I didn’t have anything to say properly, so I just passed it over and continued reading the physiognomy through Ma Dal-su’s face.
“First, fortunately, Yoon Seo-yeon herself doesn’t have a lover or anyone she likes?”
“Uh… Is that fortunate?”
“If she had a lover or even a one-sided love, wouldn’t you have no chance? That’s why it’s fortunate.”
And personally, NTR is a bit…
“Well then, since there’s nothing in the way, now let’s see how you can achieve love.”
“Please, teacher!!!”
Hoho, what a resonant voice this person has…
“Hmm, first, you should keep confessing from now on.”
“What?! No, I’ve been confessing continuously until now and failed… Are you saying to just keep confessing until it works?!”
Indian rain dance-like confession…!! I didn’t come all this way for this kind of answer…!!
Towards Ma Dal-su who was sitting with such an expression, I continued speaking.
“I heard that you failed after confessing twenty-something times, customer. And you should listen to people’s words until the end… Confession is important, but that’s not all.”
“Ah, I see… I’ll listen attentively!!”
“Hmm, anyway, don’t do those confessions too much, just once a week. Well, the form doesn’t matter. I still love you, I only look at you… If you can give that kind of feeling, it’s enough.”
“Once a week…”
“And the most important thing is… Exactly 37 days from now.”
“37 days later? What happens on that day?! Maybe if I confess then, she’ll accept…? Or do I need to succeed by then…!!”
“It’s roughly similar. A dungeon will break out in Busan then, and Yoon Seo-yeon will be in danger of death.”
A dungeon has appeared somewhere underground in Busan, but because the location is strange, they haven’t noticed it and it’s breaking out.
If there’s a fortunate point, it’s that because it appeared in a strange place so it wasn’t detected, but it didn’t get stronger.
“Whaaaat?!”
No, what is this heavy talk all of a sudden?!
“Well, it shouldn’t be a difficult problem for a customer hiding their strength. But it’s different for Yoon Seo-yeon, who’s an ordinary person. Now, this is the key point.”
“No, how did you know that I’m hiding my strength?!”
“Well, I can just tell. Anyway, listen! This is important content from now on!”
Now, listen carefully, okay?! This time it’s not like back then with that completely makjang H*ntai-like development…!!
“First, buy a flower and prepare it on that day. And on that day, Yoon Seo-yeon will be at a cafe that grows a lot of plants when she gets attacked, so keep this in mind.”
“A flower… and a cafe that grows a lot of plants… Ah, is the cafe a chain store??”
“Not a chain store, just a neighborhood cafe. And the important point is, at this time, you appear like a prince on a white horse just when Yoon Seo-yeon is in danger from a monster attack, save her, and then hand over the flower you bought while confessing! Ah, and for a dramatic effect, deliberately injure your head a bit to bleed a little.”
“I-is that all I need to do?! But doesn’t this method seem a bit… you know…”
“We’re not putting Yoon Seo-yeon in danger, we’re changing a fate of death into a fate of life. This is the key point. So don’t feel any guilt. Rather, Yoon Seo-yeon should be thankful to you for saving her life.”
Phew, anyway, the fortune I saw this time isn’t makjang content like back then, so that’s really fortunate. Back then, I was a bit reluctant to say it… I really couldn’t imagine that customer’s lover would have such tastes.
“Well, anyway, that’s the end of the fortune-telling. Now go and prepare hard. I’ll specially receive the fortune-telling fee after you succeed in connecting with that first love.”
“…Thank you so much today, teacher!! I’ll definitely succeed in confessing and come back!!”
“Well, work hard. Haha.”
If possible, come back with good news?
Ah, but I wonder if this guy is also going to say he’ll become a subordinate as the fortune-telling fee?
