Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Black Cat!!
Her true identity is the famous superhuman Black Cat, the phantom thief of the underworld!!

-But now, she’s living at fortune teller Dam Han-ul’s house, having half-given up her thieving life.
Their first meeting was the worst, as she was trying to steal, but after her life was saved through physiognomy, she became almost a follower and is now living by Dam Han-ul’s side!
Actually, she should be doing some thieving and offering the profits, but thanks to Dam Han-ul himself suggesting, “How about stopping dangerous work?”, she’s now living as Black Cat, not the phantom thief Black Cat, having half-given up thieving.
However, since it would be awkward to just freeload off Dam Han-ul, she’s living there while taking charge of thoroughly cleaning the mansion once a week.
…In fact, there wasn’t much else for her to do. She should be doing something, but now that two S-rank superhumans have joined due to Dam Han-ul’s outstanding ability.
Ricone is still an A+ rank superhuman belonging to Vargfang and acts as an attendant, but she wasn’t like that.
In fact, she was very satisfied with her current life even with just that.
She was born an orphan, and despite being a cat beastkin, she received the ridiculous name ‘Black Cat’ and naturally flowed into the underworld, living a dangerous life.
To think she doesn’t need to do dangerous work anymore, can live comfortably, and can leisurely live beside the person she likes and her benefactor!
For her, who hadn’t lived such a bright life, her current life was really to her liking.
Anyway! She is now…
“Shaaak! Today I’ll finally make you submit, you ill-mannered mutt!!”
Grrrr!! Woof woof!!
…Having a confrontation with Yeobo in the yard.
The dog Yeobo Bongson and the cat beastkin Black Cat… Dogs and cats, an already oil-and-water situation, and Yeobo, who looked brave and fearless but had a typical strong-weak-weak-strong personality… Black Cat, who had less power even than the newly arrived kid Lee Sujin, was the most vulnerable person in this mansion.
Even though Black Cat’s rank itself was higher, she was a peculiar case of a superhuman who excelled in speed, flexibility, and stealth, but had low raw power compared to her rank.
Anyway, that’s why Yeobo and Black Cat, who didn’t get along, were bickering again today.
After quite some time had passed like that…
“Heak! Heak! You damn mutt! I’ve finally subdued you…!!”
Whine?! Kiiing…
Around the time Black Cat had finally succeeded in establishing hierarchy by tying up Yeobo with iron chains,
“You’re full of energy from the daytime! Keukeu.”
“Isn’t it good to see, senior? Of course, you probably prefer quiet over energetic.”
“Well, whatever, where’s the owner of this house? Young one.”
“…Huh? More importantly, who are you to just come in here?!”
A peculiar old man with a height that wasn’t very tall but with a beard so long it touched the ground, and a young man with a mysterious atmosphere dressed all in white from head to toe, suddenly appeared in front of Black Cat!
“You’re seeing me for the first time, but I’ll have you know I’m acquainted with this house’s owner. Go and tell that fortune teller friend that the neighbor Hoseo has come!”
“…Uh, um… I understand for now! Yeobo, keep an eye on these people, okay?!”
Although she hadn’t seen them before, since they said they were acquainted… and it didn’t seem like they were lying, Black Cat went into the mansion to report to Dam Han-ul for now.
And after telling Dam Han-ul, who was reading a manga, about this fact and hearing his response, Black Cat came back outside and approached the two who had somehow become friendly with Yeobo and were playing.
‘Ahem, the teacher says you can come in!’
“What?! This Yeobo?! He picks fights with me but gets along so well with strangers?!”
“Um… It seems your words and inner thoughts have switched?”
Hoseo tackled Black Cat’s words, which didn’t match her facial expression at all, and the flustered Black Cat immediately cleared her throat and spoke again.
“Ahem! The teacher says you can come in! Please follow me!”
After glaring at Yeobo once, she led the two to Dam Han-ul’s dedicated fortune-telling room.

After hearing Black Cat’s words, I felt slightly puzzled but told her to let them in anyway.
“The Hoseo I know is definitely a weasel old man, but she said just an old man and a man with a peculiar atmosphere…”
I can accept that a weasel might be able to transform into a human since he’s a mountain god, but who’s the man beside him? The weasel old man’s son?
Well, I’ll know if I ask when we meet.
Anyway, I headed to my dedicated fortune-telling room, carrying Arin.
A little later, when I reached the room, Black Cat, the old man, and a handsome young man with a really strange atmosphere were waiting inside.
‘Just like Black Cat said, they’re really unusual people…’
Although he’s a young man, he also looks like an old man.
Putting aside that strange atmosphere, even his appearance was unusual from the start.
He also had a smiling face with squinted eyes.
White hair reaching down to his waist, white eyebrows and white eyes. White skin, white top and bottom, and even white shoes.
His clothes also feel a bit like… should I say a robe? That kind of feeling.
Ah, but are his eyes really white? I can’t see well because they’re squinted…
No, anyway, everything being white, what an unusual taste. Does he have some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder?
“Ahem, you came to meet me earlier than I expected, old man?”
Anyway, it’s not polite to stare at people too much. They seem like guests too.
I quickly sat down and asked the old man.
“Keu, I didn’t expect to see you this quickly either! But the reaction came faster than I thought?”
“Reaction? No, anyway, who is the person next to you? I brought them here because they seem like a guest.”
“Haha… I didn’t come for a fortune-telling, but I am a guest. Nice to meet you, fortune teller. I’m a fellow called Gobaekrok.”
“Ah, I’m Dam Han-ul, an amateur but working as a fortune teller.”
I shook hands with the person who introduced himself as Gobaekrok with a gentle smile.
“By the way, this fellow is a similar case to me.”
“Aha, so that means…”
It seems he’s a mountain god like Hoseo old man. No wonder the atmosphere felt quite mysterious.
“Hahah. I’m a white deer. That’s why my name is Baekrok (White Deer). At this point, you probably know, but I’m also, albeit inadequately, the mountain lord (山君) of Hallasan.”
“Aha, I see?”
I heard that Baengnokdam, the lake at the top of Hallasan, is called that because a white deer drank water there, is this guest named after that?
But the name is quite carelessly given. Calling a white deer Baekrok…
“But is it okay to just talk like that? I heard that gods usually don’t mingle much with humans…”
“Ah, that doesn’t really matter. It should be fine for people like you or those who follow someone like you. To begin with, I even have a house in Jeju Island?”
“What??”
Oh? Were not all gods living mysteriously??
“There are those who are leisurely and like being in the mountains like my senior, and there are also those like me who secretly mingle with people. Gods have diverse personalities just like humans, you know?”
“Oh, I see…”
So I’m learning more about gods like this…
“Wait, but how did someone living in Jeju come to know about me?”
It’s not strange for gods to know each other, but has my rumor spread even to Jeju?
“The rumor hasn’t particularly spread in Jeju… but my senior did some promotion. Quite a few people among the spirits probably know.”
“What?? No, why did you do promotion??”
You promote this?? No, keep it to yourself!!
“Huh? Wouldn’t you benefit more if you get more customers?? I did it as a kind of repayment… If beings like us come to visit, you’d receive precious things as payment for fortune-telling, wouldn’t that be good for you too?”
“…I don’t particularly like it though…”
No, I’m satisfied with how things are now…!! Now you’re even making me receive gods as customers!!
Keuuh…!! Just when my mentality had grown, it’s about to be shaken by the burden again after a long time…!!
“I-is that so… I’m sorry. But I’ve already spread it everywhere so I can’t take it back, hoho… I’ll just have to hope they don’t believe it.”
“For something like that, there seem to be quite a few interested ones though? I don’t know if they’ll actually come to visit, but…”
“Oh my…”
This is ruined…
“Ahem! By the way, you’ve obtained another amazing precious object in the meantime? What’s that floating above your shoulder?”
“Ah, this? It’s a fellow called Arin, simply put, it’s a crystal ball. Though it has overflowing abilities.”
[Ahem. I am Arin, the world’s best crystal ball. Nice to meet you, mountain god.]
“What an impudent fellow! Kekeke, but I suppose it’s worthy of being so.”
“You are indeed an amazing person.”
[Hoho. You have good eyes. To recognize this orb’s greatness.]
No, this Arin, it might be even more amazing than I thought?!
But anyway, about the wide-area promotion to the spirits…
“Tsk, let’s think about the already spilled water later… For now, shall we hear why our guest has come?”
Ah, whatever. My future self will figure something out somehow…
I’m always sorry, future me! I’ll focus on the present!! Thank you!!
“You said earlier that you didn’t come for a fortune-telling… So why did you come?”
“The reason I came here this time is… to borrow a bit of your power, teacher. Your power that is said to freely manipulate even heavenly secrets.”
“Oh, that’s quite an exaggeration.”
“Hoho, I doubt that.”
Gobaekrok glanced at Arin with a smiling face before looking back at me.
…But did he really look at Arin? It’s confusing because his eyes are squinted.
“Seeing what follows you, I think the rumors might have been understated rather than exaggerated.”
“Come on, I’m really not that amazing a person. Haha.”
What a brutal joke… To say even such rumors are understated…
“Ahem, shall we move on to the main point then?”
“Hahah, alright.”
Baekrok continued speaking with a bright smile.
“Actually, there’s a seal I’m in charge of. It’s containing an ancient great yokai… Recently, that seal seems to be shaking quite a bit, making me anxious. So I’ve come to ask you to deal with that great yokai and the seal, teacher.”
“…An ancient great yokai?”
“Yes. They say a nine-tailed fox yokai is sealed there.”
It seems like I’ve taken on another outrageous request…
