Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

The things needed to awaken my excellent partner, the crystal ball Arin, to EX-rank are… many. Really many.
But! If I have my amateur fortune-telling, it’s just a bit annoying, but there’s no problem!
After all, my fortune-telling has a 100% accuracy rate!
Of course, as we go around here and there, quite a bit of time will be consumed… but shouldn’t we endure that much? We’re creating an EX-rank transcendent, if we can’t even invest time, what can we do! Right now, I have time to spare!
To be more precise, I’ve played hooky to have time to spare… but that’s the same thing, right?
Anyway! Like that, the first place we’ll head to find the first divine medicine is… Japan.
It’s not that we have to search in order, and it’s not that Japan is first so we’re going there first, it’s just that Japan is the closest place so we’re going there.
Rather than setting a specific order and moving, I’m thinking of moving in a way that finds the closest things first.
“And the thing in Japan seems like it might be a bit easier to find.”
Didn’t I once do a fortune-telling for a superhuman who flew in from Japan? The ninja who fell in love with a snow woman, The Ninja Fuma Masanari.
The divine medicine we want to obtain in Japan can be obtained more easily with that ninja’s help.
That’s because the divine medicine we can obtain in Japan is the Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence.
Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence, it’s a term that appears occasionally in martial arts novels, right? Something that can only be obtained in extremely cold places. A kind of jewel containing extreme cold? Something like that.
However, while the protagonists of such martial arts novels easily break through walls and raise their level with just one such rare divine medicine, our crystal ball isn’t such a martial arts novel protagonist, so it needs a whole bundle of such rare divine medicines. And all of different types at that.
Well, it’s the process of becoming an EX-rank transcendent of a different level from just an awesome artifact, if it were easy, that would be strange, right?
Ah! And since the reason for going to Japan this time is to find the Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence, a divine medicine containing cold energy, this time we’ve invited one more person in addition to our house members.
Hmm… he’s probably one of the top authorities in this field?
He’s a superhuman who broke through a wall using an ice essence, a divine medicine similar to the Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence, through my fortune-telling in the past.
Chung Soha, the head of the Chungsong Guild.
“…Why does it feel like it’s been so long since he last appeared? He used to come often…”
“Hmm, right? It feels like it’s been a really long time since I’ve seen him.”
It’s strange. Why does it feel like it’s been so long since we’ve seen someone we often see… Even when we went to Mongolia, he occasionally came to play after getting the Great Khan’s permission.
Well anyway, since he’s someone who can be called experienced, having obtained ice essence, I invited him to participate, and Chung Soha gladly accepted.
There might be snow women and snow men, but I thought it might be better to have one more experienced person.
“Come to think of it… hearing Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence makes me curious. Is it a more amazing item than the ice essence I ate?”
“Looking at just the name, I thought so too, but it’s not particularly so.”
It just looks cooler in name, but there’s not that big of a difference.
Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence just looks a level higher in name, but in reality, it’s a divine medicine that’s about the uncle of ice essence.
“Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence is purer than ice essence and… should I say less tainted? Anyway, that’s it. So it’s a divine medicine more suitable for mountain gods or spiritual beings than humans.”
And that’s why it’s a divine medicine that perfectly fits Arin, who, although a crystal ball artifact, contains powerful beast powers inside.
“If what I told you about back then had been Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence instead of ice essence, you probably would have had a hard time?”
“Hooh… Is that so? The world of divine medicines is mysterious.”
“It seems so. I didn’t know much, but looking at it while fortune-telling this time, it’s quite profound.”
Rather than profound, would it be more fitting to say there are an enormous number of types? There aren’t many, but the differences are big. Even if they look similar, when you look in detail, they’re different.
Anyway, because of that, after contacting Masanari in advance and crossing over to Japan, Masanari was waiting.
“Wow! It’s been a long time! Nice to see you, teacher!!”
“It’s been a while, Mr. Masanari. How’s your love life going?”
Hmm, I asked, but seeing that the person who looked like the snow man I saw for the first time back then is still there, it seems to be going well.
“Oh, of course! We’re living happily! It feels like I’ve found a perfect partner after living as a single for so long, you could say?”
“Thanks to you, I was able to meet a good partner too. Thank you, teacher.”
“Hahaha… I’m glad to see you match well.”
But I received thanks when we met last time too, why are they doing it again… It’s burdensome…
“Ah, is Mr. Shoji doing well? I do watch his broadcasts sometimes…”
Oh, Mr. Shoji, that shocking and terrifying snow man, I did watch his internet broadcasts because he does them… but the broadcast isn’t my style… Still, since he’s an acquaintance, I watch occasionally, but…
“He’s living comfortably. He’s the type who lives very comfortably in the world…”
“Haha, we meet occasionally and drink together?”
“Yeah, well, he seems to be doing well.”
His first impression was shocking and terrifying, but he’s a good person. My relationship with him isn’t that strange either.
“Ah! More importantly, I’ve booked accommodation near the place I mentioned! Let’s rest and recover from your travel fatigue today and go tomorrow!”
“There’s not really any travel fatigue… but that sounds good.”
There’s no need to rush. It’s not that it’s not urgent at all, but it’s not extremely urgent either, right? Taking a day to rest isn’t a problem.
“By the way, the person next to you… is it Cheongok?”
“The Ninja Fuma Masanari. I’ve heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you like this.”
“Hahaha! It’s an honor? I saw Cheongok bring snow in summer before!”
Ah, that day…
The day when all soldiers were deeply annoyed, farmers cried, and everyone cursed the weather forecast…
Oh, why did that have to happen in summer… Wow… Snow removal in midsummer… Hehe, it’s an unimaginable pain…
Still, isn’t it fortunate it didn’t happen during guerrilla training?
Well anyway… we moved to the city we saw in the fortune-telling.
Actually, I saw it, but I didn’t know where was where in Japan, so it was difficult, but it’s fortunate to have such a reliable helper!
“…W-well, I’m here too…”
“Akame, you’re more main than helper… give way on things like this!”
“Ahem…”
There is Akame as a Japanese person, but she’s living in Korea now!
“This area has been famous for temperatures dropping even in midsummer for the past few years… but nothing else particularly happened, so it was left alone.”
They thought it might be the work of monsters, so an S-rank superhuman investigated, but after concluding it wasn’t monsters, it became famous as a tourist spot. The best summer vacation spot?
“It seems the tourism industry boomed greatly because of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence… now they’ll have to find another way.”
From what I heard, they save on electricity bills in summer and spend the saved electricity bills lavishly in the terribly cold winter… That’s novel. And this becomes a tourist attraction… Of course, it’s a seasonal business, but it’s ingenious. Like someone who sold river water, you really can buy and sell anything…
Still, as all sorts of things happen around the world, one of the problems that arises commonly across all countries is safety insensitivity.
This place could suddenly go bankrupt too, so even if there’s some loss right now, taking back the Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence won’t be a big loss in the long run, right? Losing money is better than losing lives!
Anyway, as soon as we arrived, before going to the hotel…
“Soha, and Ms. Koharu? Before we go in, would you like to try to feel where the ice essence is?”
By the way, Ms. Koharu is Masanari’s girlfriend. They’re a couple with a good relationship! I’m also curious if they might even get married later.
“Understood.”
“I’ll give it a try!”
Like that, one snow woman and an S-rank superhuman who ate ice essence closed their eyes and started trying to identify the source of the cold by spreading their magic power.
“Heh~ That white-haired friend is pretty good too! Seems like she might be about A- rank!”
“Really? She’s more amazing than I thought. To be at A- rank level just with innate ability…”
Isn’t that the level of a high-ranking superhuman? Is this what they call the power of bloodline?
But that was the limit, as Koharu wiped her sweat and opened her eyes first.
“Whew… I’m sorry. I can’t detect it. Unless it’s closer…”
“It’s okay. Good work, Ms. Koharu.”
Unlike Koharu who gave up first, Chung Soha was still going strong, so there was still possibility.
Like that, a little later, Chung Soha retracted his magic power, settled his fluttering hair, and opened his eyes saying,
“I found it. It definitely has a similar energy to the ice essence I ate. If it wasn’t for that, even I would have taken a bit more time. If it’s this much for me, I can understand why that other S-rank superhuman couldn’t detect it.”
“Is it that much? It lives up to its name as an amazing divine medicine, huh?”
Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence… There was a reason for its grand name!
Well, it’s not like ice essence was easy to find either!
“Since you said we’re not planning to go today, I’ve just marked it for now. I’ll lead the way when we depart tomorrow.”
“Okay! Then I’ll leave it to you?”
Hmm, it’s a good start? It seems like we’ll be able to easily obtain one divine medicine!
