Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Travel is always enjoyable.
I, who occasionally go on solo trips when I have time, especially felt that way.
Whether it’s a hotel or a motel, spending a comfortable night in an unfamiliar place was an exciting thing.
It was nice even if I just stayed at the accommodation without going anywhere to play.
In that sense, this trip to Japan was a very thrilling thing.
An overseas trip taken care of by an S-rank superhuman!
For me, who originally had neither the occasion nor the money to go abroad, it was a very exciting thing.
The only times I’ve been abroad were when I went to China on Dokma’s invitation after starting my amateur fortune-teller life, when I briefly went out for the cult problem, and the business trip to the lawless zone which is hard to call a proper trip… Can those really be called proper overseas trips?
Maybe that’s why I was more excited this time! It felt like a vacation too.
Moreover, I might even get to see a Yuki-onna, a unique being like from folklore. I couldn’t help but be personally excited.
It was also fortunate that the others who were coming along didn’t seem bad.
Especially Cheon Ryu-hwa, for whom it seemed to be her first overseas trip or plane ride, was constantly sparkling her eyes and exclaiming in admiration.
“Ooh! Wow! Waaah!!”
Hoho, this one is really unpredictable. She can be terrifying but also cute at times…
Although she didn’t show as dramatic a reaction as Cheon Ryu-hwa, Dalgi, who was actually riding an airplane for the first time, also seemed excited.
“There are a lot of excited people!”
“Although we superhumans with the S-rank title can move much faster and more conveniently than airplanes, we always get excited about these experiences. Hmm, how should I put it… Comfort? Luxury? Romance? Something like that?”
“Hooo… I see.”
Well, even though they’re so strong, S-rank superhumans are still people with red blood flowing through them.
Ah, are there people without red blood? I think I’ve heard of people with blue blood flowing… There are cases where the species is different, right? Well, anyway, let’s say people who have facial features and bleed something called blood.
“Come to think of it, did you go abroad often, Su-yeon?”
“Well… I went often when I was working in the underworld. I rode planes often too. But it’s Sujin’s first time, so Sujin seems quite excited.”
“It does look that way.”
By the way, right now Sujin is sticking close to Ryu-hwa and admiring things together.
Hoho, how cute, how cute.
To add some explanation about the other friends, Black Cat, who’s been in high spirits lately, is just smiling and humming, and Akame is calm.
Well, these guys probably have a lot of experience with this kind of thing, right? Akame is a famous S-rank, and Black Cat was a thief who played around all over East Asia, right?
Ah, unfortunately, Yeopoong couldn’t come. She’s a pet dog, but she’s still a monster, so it’s a bit awkward to put her on a regular airline plane, they say?
So we had no choice but to leave her with the Cheongsung Guild security guards who protect our house. Still, I wonder if she’ll have fun in her own way? From her perspective, the S-ranks who might be scary to her have disappeared along with her owner.
Anyway, after boarding the plane, I was surprised again.
“Ooh, so this is what they call business class…”
As expected of expensive seats, they’re high-class…
“Haha, I wanted to get first-class seats, but it was a bit rushed and the flight to Japan isn’t that long, so I thought it would be similar anyway and just went with this. Please understand!”
“Oh my! What are you saying! This is more than satisfactory!”
“Hahaha! I’m glad to hear that!”
It’s true. Well, I’ve ridden an incredibly luxurious private jet before… but how often do I get to ride planes in the first place…
I’m happy enough just to have experienced the business class I’ve only heard about!
“Hmm, by the way, you’re incredibly kind compared to your ability, teacher.”
“Huh? Me?”
Suddenly??
“Well, due to the nature of my job, I meet a lot of powerful people, but there are so many eccentrics! To put it nicely, there are many with bad tempers, you know? Haha!”
“Uh… I see.”
“Even that friend Akame over there seems to be suppressing a lot now, but back in the day, whenever she entered a dungeon, she used to slice up all the monsters into flower shapes. She said flower shapes are cuter than star shapes? I think that played a big part in her nickname being Fire Sword, not just her swordsmanship!”
“Ah…”
Uh, is it okay to say such things when she’s right next to us?? She’s looking at you with a smiling face right now?!
“Kuku, sharing things like this is how we get closer. Don’t you think? Ah! And that old hag Sword Fairy in China is so stubborn…”
…Is it okay for a ninja to have such a loose mouth…?!
“But I don’t just tell these stories to anyone carelessly? I’m telling you because you seem tight-lipped, teacher!”
“No, that’s fine for me, but there are a lot of ears listening around us??”
“Ah, that’s true. But it’s fine! It’s not like it’s important information! The people I’m trash-talking now probably trash-talk me when they go somewhere too! Uhaha!!”
Wow… Should I call this open-minded or what…
Is his personality… good? Still, I could tell that he gets along well with various people and has a wide network.
Whew, to think someone could fall in love at first sight with such a person, how beautiful must that Yuki-onna have been? And it wasn’t even a life-or-death situation, just someone he saw in passing.
‘Well, we’ll find out in ten days, right?’
Anyway, we arrived in Japan while chatting like that, and then enjoyed a Japanese trip with luxurious treatment in a good accommodation.
We went to famous ramen shops, ate sashimi and sushi in Japan, got to drink expensive sake, and even went to those famous hot springs.
We also sightsaw various tourist attractions.
Like that, we spent a very enjoyable and peaceful time after a long while and had sufficient time for recovery, and time flew by like an arrow until the day we saw in the fortune-telling dawned.
“Is it today?”
“Yes! That’s right! It’s today! The fateful day!!”
Wow, our The Ninja Masanari is really excited. Is he that happy?
Hmm, well. I guess he’d be happy since he might be able to fulfill his first love.
Anyway, the day with the full moon brightly shining arrived.
We immediately got ready and headed to the snowy mountain where Masanari said he had met the Yuki-onna, guided by him.
“This is the very snowy mountain! This is where I met that nameless woman…!! Ah, but the blizzard here is quite severe, will you be alright? I know your physical abilities themselves aren’t that high.”
“My body is that of an ordinary person, but I’m equipped with good item power. Haha.”
“Ooh! The reason this not-so-high mountain has become a snowy mountain with year-round blizzards is because the power of an S-rank monster that wasn’t properly dealt with in the past went berserk and completely changed the environment of this area… You must have an amazing artifact! This cold is hard to endure as it feels like the cold accumulates from the bones to the inside of the body unless you’re a high-ranking superhuman!”
“It is an amazing artifact. Well, it’s something you know about.”
Of course, that amazing thing is our supreme all-purpose crystal ball Arin.
I was told that with Arin’s power, I can block the cold and adjust the appropriate temperature. I often forget because I mostly use it for special effects when fortune-telling, but it’s surprisingly versatile, isn’t it?
Walking on a mountain covered in snow would be difficult for me, but Arin can adjust that too, they say. As expected of the all-purpose crystal ball!
[Ahem.]
Having solved the cold problem like that, our group started climbing the mountain together with me. First, to about the middle of the mountain where Masanari said he first met the Yuki-onna.
And not long after arriving there, it was now time for me to use my power.
First, I stopped in place and held up Arin, looking into the crystal ball.
“Hmm…”
Then, something appeared inside the crystal ball.
The path to the Yuki-onna’s cabin, that is.
“Hmm, first go straight ahead.”
Ooh, breaking through a yokai’s barrier, this reminds me of breaking through the barrier where Yeondal-gi was trapped before. Isn’t this a bit similar to that time? Although the purpose and request were completely different.
“…Turn right here and go straight for 20 steps. Then turn 45 degrees left and go forward 50 steps…”
And the barrier here wasn’t as difficult as that place. The others should be able to pass through without any problems if they just follow me well.
“…Turn 90 degrees right and go straight 10 steps, then right 3 times, forward 5 times, left 2 times, turn 65 degrees right and go straight ahead…”
Clunk! Whoosh!!
“Ah, done. We’ve broken through.”
As we simply broke through the barrier like that, as if by magic, the harsh blizzard subsided and a peaceful winter landscape with light snow appeared, and in the middle of it, a log cabin that looked so ideal it could appear in a manga was sitting there.
“Is that it?! The cabin where the Yuki-onna lives!!”
“That’s right. Well, shall we go take a look?”
Like that, we approached the cabin and knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock!!
“Is anyone there?!”
Then, the door swung open and a figure inside appeared.
“Wh-what?! How did you pass through the barrier that can’t be passed unless you inherit our clan’s blood!?”
The figure that appeared like that was indeed a great beauty that made it instantly understandable why the customer fell in love at first sight.
Long braided hair as white as snow crystals crushed finely, piercingly blue and clear eyes, and skin as white as snow. Even clean white clothes.
He was a cool-looking beauty just like a Yuki-onna! I could instantly understand why Masanari felt that way as soon as he saw him.
However, there was a problem, and a very big and serious one at that…
“…Uh, the voice is…?”
“…Uh, uuh, uuuh…?!?!”
…It’s too gruff???
…C-could it be…!?!?
