Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

The house Wei Zhiying gave me was really quiet around, so it was good for sleeping.
I could always get a good night’s sleep.
“Ugh… But today I just can’t seem to fall asleep…”
After yawning heavily, I got up from the bed.
Well, thinking it was just one of those occasional nights when I can’t sleep, I gulped down some water and thoughtlessly looked at the window when suddenly.
“…Huh?”
My eyes met directly with a weasel with long whiskers.
“…A weasel with whiskers??”
No, putting aside the weasel having whiskers, why is it stuck to the window staring at me?
Moreover, what kind of weasel is so big?? It’s bigger than a large dog…
[Hmm… This is interesting! I was just going to look at your face and leave, but you woke up!]
“The weasel is talking?!”
[Kekeke! I’m obviously not an ordinary weasel, am I?]
The weasel, stroking its whiskers with its front paws, then gently opened the window and came into my room.
“…It doesn’t seem to be a monster, but who are you?”
As this unidentified weasel said, it obviously didn’t seem to be an ordinary weasel.
But it didn’t seem like a monster either.
[As for me, I am the mountain god of the mountain next to this house! My name is Hoseo (虎鼠), so just call me Hoseo!]
“Mountain god…?”
Mountain god? Were there such things in this world?
[Kekeke, if superhumans and monsters exist, why wouldn’t there be mountain gods, ghosts, or yokai! There are more of those things than you think! You just haven’t experienced them.]
The weasel mountain god, Hoseo, who had entered my room very naturally, opened the water bottle cap with its front paws like a person, poured it into a glass, and drank it well with gulps.
[Kaha! This water tastes quite good!]
“…Is that so? Lee Su-yeon did bring it saying it was good for the body.”
This is really an unusual weasel…
[Come to think of it, you must be curious how I infiltrated so easily!]
“Uh… I wasn’t particularly thinking about it…”
[Of course, even though I’m a mountain god, my strength itself is not as good as your subordinates! If just one of them came out to catch me, that day would become my memorial day!]
This weasel is quite a brazen fellow…
“But didn’t you say you’re a mountain god? Even an S-rank superhuman can defeat a god?”
[I don’t know how you think of gods, but we’re not omnipotent beings! Such things are only for the mysterious creator who made the universe, stars, and world at the beginning, whose identity is unknown! And I’m not even sure if such a being exists!]
“Is that so?”
[Of course, that doesn’t mean gods are pushovers! Even I, who am just a not-so-great mountain god of a neighborhood back mountain, am about on par with the weaker ones among those you call S-rank superhumans! Though I do have a few tricks up my sleeve.]
Hmm, I don’t know much, but it seems he is strong in his own way.
[Still, those superhumans are amazing. Gods and yokai live for a long time, from hundreds of years to an unimaginable length of time, yet superhumans have caught up to that strength in such a short time since they appeared, haven’t they? Of course, their numbers are few.]
I’m not really interested in such complicated stories… This weasel gentleman seems to be quite a chatterbox, more than expected.
“Oh, then are there quite a number of beings like yokai and gods?”
[That’s right! Quite a lot! They just don’t enjoy appearing in front of people! And aren’t superhumans already busy dealing with monsters that pop out of things called dungeons? There’s no interest on either side, so there’s no occasion to meet!]
“Then why did you come here?!”
You said there’s no interest!
[Hmm, come to think of it, I should tell you how I infiltrated so easily, but I got sidetracked! I’ll answer your questions later!]
No, I’m not curious, Mr. Weasel Mountain God!!
[How did I infiltrate so easily! It’s thanks to a simple trick! I just helped your soundly sleeping subordinates fall into an even deeper sleep! And made them have good dreams too! As long as I didn’t come to harm them or with bad intentions, that much is enough! And as for the animal you raise… even if it’s a monster, it’s a beast tamed by humans, so we just became friendly!]
Oh no! Yeobo, you traitor! To think you’ve already betrayed me and neglected your duty?! As expected, you’ve lived up to your name and made three fathers…!
[And the reason I came to find you… I happened to see your ability a few times and it was so amazing that I came to take a look!]
“Then why did you come all the way in here instead of just looking and leaving…?”
[Kekeke! That’s entirely because of your outstanding ability! Didn’t I say? We usually avoid contact with ordinary humans. I tried to put not only your subordinates but also you into a deep sleep! I was planning to just take a brief look and leave! But you reacted sensitively to my ability and woke up! I expected it to some extent, but you’re really extraordinary!]
“I was wondering why I couldn’t fall asleep… It was because of you, Mr. Weasel?”
Ugh, I was tired but couldn’t sleep… So this was the reason…
[But from my perspective, it’s a pleasing situation! Your ability is so amazing that even I am in awe of it!]
“Huh? You mean my amateur fortune-telling?”
I could usually give a fortune-telling with 100% accuracy just by shuffling some cards and doing some amateur physiognomy… Is it to that extent?
[Well… to put it simply, it’s beyond reaching the heavens, it’s like piercing through the heavens… Even the most amazing god or being would pale in comparison before you. It’s like becoming an ordinary person?]
…Isn’t this exaggeration too much? It’s an amazing talent, but to that extent…?
I should just let it in one ear and out the other…
[Kekeke… Whether you believe it or not is up to you. It’s not for me to say anything.]
Anyway, the weasel old man lay down comfortably in front of me, who was sitting casually on the bed, as if it was his own home and said.
[Hmm, by the way, since we’ve met face to face like this, it’s a connection, so how about giving me a fortune-telling? I’ll pay for it, of course!]
“A fortune-telling?”
My goodness… Now I’m even giving a fortune-telling to a weasel…
Well, to be precise, it’s not an ordinary weasel but a mountain god weasel old man… Is that more surprising??
Anyway, a fortune-telling…
“What the heck, let’s do it.”
Well, since he says he’ll pay for it, why not try it once. I’m also curious what a mountain god will give as payment for a fortune-telling.
…But wait, have I become a bit bolder? Maybe I’ve gotten a bit more daring after meeting so many amazing people…
“Well, what kind of fortune-telling do you want?”
[Since I decided suddenly, I don’t have any grand purpose… Just see if anything troublesome will happen to me in the near future, something like that!]
“I understand.”
I was too tired and lazy to go get the cards, so I just thought I’d do physiognomy and grabbed Hoseo old man’s face to examine it briefly.
[Hoho, you do physiognomy in an interesting way! To think you’re doing physiognomy on a beast, not even a person!]
“Well, it’s a bit different from other people, right?”
And now that I’m actually looking, I could clearly see the physiognomy of an animal, not a person.
Hmm, this is a bit interesting? I didn’t know I could do physiognomy on animals too…
[It’s certainly different! When I met someone who was a shaman or something, it wasn’t this way!]
“I see?”
Well, my physiognomy is amateur among amateurs after all. People in other related fields probably see it differently.
Anyway, after quickly checking the physiognomy, I immediately gave the result.
“Well, there’s nothing particularly unusual. No crisis, no big luck, I’d say it’s uneventful… In a way, that’s the best fortune.”
[Ohoho! Is that so indeed?]
“But there will be one minor incident. Roughly… Four days later, while you’re taking a nap basking in the sunlight on a flat rock, a dungeon will appear behind you. There will be one insignificant incident where a poison needle shot by a goblin that came out of there, mistaking you for a wild animal, will hit you squarely in the buttocks.”

[…Isn’t that quite significant?]
“No, well, it won’t be life-threatening, and even if you get hit, it would have just been itchy? Also, you were planning to sweep away the entire dungeon, furious at having your nap disturbed.”
After all, the dungeon that happens to appear behind the napping weasel old man is an F-rank dungeon where only ordinary goblins appear. There’s no way an old man who is a mountain god would fall victim to such a thing, right?
[Hmm, is that so? I’ll keep that in mind! Now I should give you payment for the fortune-telling… Wait a moment!]
The old man, who had jumped out the window saying to wait a moment, really came back in no time.
With something in his mouth.
“What is this?”
[This land has quite good energy! It’s a pill I made by condensing a bit of that efficacious energy! Well, it doesn’t have any extraordinary effects, but if you eat it, it will make your body strong and free from minor illnesses for life!]
“…That sounds like it has an amazing effect?”
No, this is really a good pill! To think it has such an incredible effect!
[Kekeke! Well, eat it before going to bed tonight or something!]
“Whoa! Thank you, old man!”
[Hmm, well then, now that my curiosity is satisfied, I’ll be going now! I’ll come to play sometimes, so you come to play sometimes too! If you climb the mountain, I’ll find you!]
“Haha… Well, I’ll come if I remember?”
[Kekeke… You cheeky fellow. Then I’m off!]
With that, Hoseo old man, laughing mischievously unlike a weasel, slipped through the half-open window and disappeared.
By the way, he closed the window when he left. Hmm, he’s a good old man…
“Well, I’ll eat this and go to sleep then…”
Taking a quick look, it didn’t seem to be a strange pill and seemed to have the effect the old man said, so I thoughtlessly popped the pill in my mouth and flopped back onto the bed.
And this time, unlike a little while ago, I was able to fall comfortably asleep.
