Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

My goodness, a love problem…
Actually, it wasn’t such an unfamiliar story. There have been many people who came for fortune-telling related to love.
Didn’t even Kim Ju-hwan, that big B-rank superhuman who was a team member of Kang Min-ji, an A-rank superhuman and team leader belonging to the Hwajin Guild, and who is now married and living happily, come to me with a love-related problem?
‘Ah, there weren’t many readings as unique as that one…’
Honey trap, time-fishing old man, spy caught in a trap.
They all seemed abnormal, but when I actually saw them, they were a unique combination that, conversely, if done well according to their tastes, there would be no better couple.
I’ve continued to act as an amateur fortune-teller until now and have seen many love-related fortunes since then, but there haven’t been many as unique as that one.
Hmm, anyway, back to the main point…
An S-rank superhuman from Japan, and even an underworld big shot who has currently taken over the entire Japanese underworld, came all the way across the sea to Korea wanting a love fortune…
‘Well, love is a major matter.’
It’s a bit surprising that an S-rank superhuman from another country would come to a different country to see it.
Well, I guess it’s love that’s important enough for that. Isn’t it?
Well then, shall we hear the proper story?
The love story of an S-rank, no less!
“Well, it’s an unexpected topic… but let’s hear the story! We need to do that to tell the fortune anyway.”
And S-rank love stories are very interesting. I’m personally curious too, you know?
“Haha, it’s not that great a story… but I guess I have no choice but to tell you?”
Masanari opened his mouth and began the story.
“Whew… To tell this story, I can’t help but talk about my past…”
Oh, is this something like a childhood friend he’s known since he was young?
“My nickname is The Ninja! Isn’t it? This is partly due to my ability, but my family is that ninja family. I’m not sure if you know… but there was a ninja famous for his cool name, Fuma Kotaro in the old days, and my family is a collateral branch of that gentleman! Surprisingly, we’ve survived until now, continuing the lineage of ninjas.”
Wait, such a story?
But the fact that there’s a family… is this like a fiancée arranged by the family… something like that? They were engaged when they were young, and now that they’ve become adults, it’s time to get married… something like a manga-like development?
Or is it that he has a lover separate from his current fiancée, and he wants to break off the engagement with the current fiancée to be with the lover??
“The reason I mainly work in the underworld is because of that. My family is, how should I put it… kind of an underworld-related business? Whew~ So even though I want to be active flashily as you can see, I had to endure and remain in the underworld. Still, my overflowing talent couldn’t be hidden, so those who should know, all came to know! Hahaha!!”
Certainly, his appearance is far from what you’d expect of a ninja.
Blonde dyed hair and muscular build, yellow sunglasses worn even underground, rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and so on.
Unlike his nickname “The Ninja”, he doesn’t look like a ninja at all. Hmm, wouldn’t his appearance be more suitable for a tank rather than a ninja? He looks like someone who would draw aggro well.
But the reason I didn’t pay much attention to it is… well, there are that many unique superhumans in the world.
To give a simple example, there’s an S-rank healer-type superhuman in Australia who’s a 3M tall muscular superhuman who heals and tanks by punching and forging.
Moreover, his punching power is also extraordinary, so despite being a healer, he can punch a hole in a mountain with one blow… That’s why his nickname is ‘Physical Therapist’. He’s famous enough for even me, who doesn’t know much about superhumans, to know about him. Of course, he’s famous for being eccentric.
If such a superhuman is famous as a skilled healer who heals well, there could be one such ninja too.
Ah, come to think of it, he seems quite similar to the kind of character called Golden Sun or something. Of course, just in appearance. He’s even handsome!
“So when I was in Tokyo……”
But anyway…
Why is there no love story at all…?
“Excuse me, so what love problem do you want to discuss…?”
“Ah, I got sidetracked. I’m sorry. Haha.”
…Does this guy have a too-much-talker tendency too?
No, why does he have nothing in common with a ninja when his nickname is Ninja? It seems his personality isn’t like that at all, only his ability is ninja-like.
Well, never mind, let’s get to the real point now.
“Ahem, anyway, the main point is this. I went to deal with a dungeon that appeared in some snowy mountain, and after finishing the job cleanly and on my way back… I encountered a ‘Yuki-onna’!”
“…A Yuki-onna??”
Wow, this guy’s appearance is as sudden as his looks.
“It was a person who really fit the description of a Yuki-onna! I saw her clearly even though there was some distance! Hair like ice crystals crushed and braided, long eyelashes, and skin so white it was chilling, with blue eyes!! Add to that a white dress and mysterious movements that were smooth even in the midst of a snowstorm!! She was undoubtedly a real Yuki-onna!!”
“Ooh…”
So he accidentally met a Yuki-onna while going to conquer a dungeon? This is quite an interesting story…?
“So did you meet the Yuki-onna directly afterwards and become close?”
Did you build a friendship like that, accumulate affection, and become that kind of relationship?!
“No… I haven’t met the Yuki-onna since then…”
“Huh, really??”
Then what is it??
“But I fell in love at first sight with that Yuki-onna!! I want to date her!!”
“Ah… So you want to know how to date the Yuki-onna?”
“No, I don’t want to know how to date her! I should achieve that with my own strength! Instead, please just help me meet that Yuki-onna!! I’ve looked around that mountain several times since then, but I couldn’t find even a trace of the Yuki-onna!”
“Aha?”
Wow… This is unexpected? So you came to find me just to get an opportunity?
Ah, but is this a lot of love fortune-telling?? It is related to love, but it’s somewhat ambiguous.
Well, never mind. I don’t need to worry about it deeply. If the customer says so, I just need to do the fortune-telling.
“Alright! It sounds interesting as I listen! Let’s take a look!!”
Now, what should I use for the fortune-telling?
Hmm, okay. I’ve decided on you!
“Arin?”
[I’ve been waiting.]
At my words, the crystal ball that had been waiting in the air popped out and positioned itself in front of me.
“Oho…! As expected, a great fortune-teller has a good artifact!”
“Haha, well for now… Please put your hand on the crystal ball.”
He’s an S-rank, and I’ve heard an interesting story, so I should do a bit of a high-class fortune-telling.
Soon, as Masanari’s hand was placed on the crystal ball and then removed, a robe-like formation rippled around me, a mysterious purple mist settled around, and faint lightning-like things flashed. Of course, just images.
“Ooooh…!! This is the famous fortune-teller’s crystal ball reading…!! Indeed…!!”
Wow, was this something that could impress even an S-rank? As expected, Arin!!
Anyway, now that the mood is set… shall we do the fortune-telling?
“Now, please look inside the ball. A future where you can find the Yuki-onna will appear in there…”
Then, as I brought my hand close to the crystal ball, something began to be reflected inside the crystal ball.
What I see is… a blue full moon, a snowy mountain with a blizzard. And a log cabin existing somewhere on that snowy mountain…
“This is…! That snowy mountain where I met the Yuki-onna…!!”
“Hmm… That’s right. The snowy mountain where you dealt with a dungeon before…”
I also continued speaking while looking into the crystal ball along with Masanari.
Ooh… I can see it, I can see!
“You need to go to that snowy mountain on a night when there’s not a cloud in the sky and the full moon is clearly visible in the sky.”
“Is that when the cabin where the Yuki-onna lives appears?!”
“No. That’s when the Yuki-onna enters that house.”
It seems Yuki-onna these days don’t live in one place but move around to several places. Does she have a lot of work??
“Anyway, you need to go to that snowy mountain at that time and find that cabin. Well, it won’t be an easy task. It seems the Yuki-onna doesn’t like showing herself much, so she’s put up a barrier? Something like that to prevent ordinary people from finding that cabin.”
“Then how do I break through that barrier?! No, before that, how do I find and detect that barrier??!”
“Ah, there are various ways to do that… but never mind all that, let’s go together. It would be most convenient if I find it for you directly, right?”
A Yuki-onna… Now that I’ve heard about it, I want to see it for myself! How can I resist this?! I need to go see it directly right now!
“By the way, that day is ten days from now.”
“I see…!!”
Of course, assuming we go right now, I’ll be taking a break from business for ten days. Then I guess… I’ll skip regular fortune-telling 3 times? Wow, I’m about to take a break right after opening… but what does it matter? If people are disappointed and come less, that’s even better! It’s not like I’m short on money! It would be good if interest cools down a bit too!
In the meantime, I’ll go to Japan and have fun traveling to my heart’s content! I should take everyone along while we’re at it. Since we’re going, won’t the underworld big shot customer in front of us handle all the expenses?
I’d like to go with my parents too, but come to think of it, I sent them on a luxury cruise trip last time, so they haven’t come back yet. They’re probably having a great time right now… It’ll be a while before they come back… What a shame.
“It’s a bit awkward to go on the day itself… Why don’t we go together now that it’s come up? We can do some sightseeing abroad and have fun while we’re at it.”
“Hahaha!! If you’re being so considerate, I should be even more grateful, teacher!! I’ll take proper care of everything!!”
“That’s reassuring? Hahaha!”
Well, since they said they’ll take care of all the other various preparations…
Let’s pack our bags, everyone!! It’s my first trip to Japan in my life!!!
