I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists

3 – Episode 3. A fortune teller who sees the future

I want to live a valuable life that I can be satisfied with.

That was something that could not be achieved simply by living a stable and comfortable life, such as purchasing a home or preparing for retirement.

In my past life, as I traveled around the country in a truck with my dad and experienced all sorts of things, I didn’t feel the stimulation that could satisfy my desires in a smooth life.

However, if I were recognized as a hero, it would be unreasonable to hope for such a thing when my only ability is not to forget my name.

“Ah, how long do I have to be this guy’s porter?”

Well, it’s normal to wander around the streets at night like this and get drunk and irritated, but that doesn’t mean the job as a porter is all bad.

Even though all the heroes are a bunch of trash-talkers with nasty personalities, their military power is real, so a certain level of safety is guaranteed if they join a party.

If you follow them in such safety, you can indirectly feel the feeling of going on an adventure.

Compared to stable manual labor such as repairing castle walls or cleaning drains, these were rare experiences for me.

No problem. If you don’t have the ability, shouldn’t you just save up some money and try it out?

Let’s work as a porter for one more year and use the money we save to go on our own adventure!

For that reason, after relieving my fatigue with cheap alcohol, I took the time to take the remaining money, excluding the minimum living expenses for the time being, to the bank and deposit it.

“Yes, Woo Hyo-seong of the labor union. Term deposit confirmed.”

Even though the world is falling apart, something called civilization still exists.

Because it is a fantasy world, the method is analog, but since it is operated with the support of the empire and each guild union, it can be said to be a place you can trust and entrust your money to.

Term deposits can be said to be an excellent means of taking responsibility for the future, as they even provide a small interest bonus when you deposit your money.

“hehehe, this is also quite a lot of money.”

Is this one step closer to my dream? And for a moment, I smiled contentedly as I looked at the amount written in my bank account.

The banker who was looking at the records with me seemed to recognize my efforts and spoke to me with an admiring smile.

“I looked at the records and you see that you deposit quite a lot of money for someone from a labor union. Are you saving money for a wedding?”

“… Yes?”

“That’s usually the reason young people save money.”

A banker who says something I didn’t expect at all in a casual tone.

I was hesitant about how to respond to that, but then I quietly answered with an ambiguous smile.

“… Ahahahaha, I wish I could.”

Romantic or feminine?

This world was too harsh for me, an outsider, to chase both birds and birds.

***

Of course, I am also a man.

The longing for a relationship with the opposite s*x has continued from my past life to my current life.

That’s why I often felt a longing for not only getting married, but also hanging out with a woman who was my ideal type.

Even if the world is falling apart, it’s even more so when you see people in love appearing on the streets all the time.

“Baby, baby~ Do I look like I’ve changed at all?”

“Hmm~ Did you cut your hair prettier than usual?”

“I changed the color of my pedicure today! “You don’t know me that much?”

If her toenails were dyed with balsam, would she have taken off her shoes?

But I also felt very envious of the man who was grabbed by the collar and beaten to death by such an unruly woman.

f*ck, even if you’re caught like that, you’re going to live in a place you can’t see and do whatever you want, right?

After touching here and there and kissing lips, I grin at the thought of hooking up with her, but I’m single…

“When I think about it again, it’s ridiculous. Oh Deok-hoon, that trash bastard also has a girlfriend.”

Of course, that stupid bastard got a sh*tty special and got a reverse tour, but if he accepted what that girl did without any resistance, wouldn’t it be called pure love?

I just passed by today, but as I was watching couples bickering on the street, I began to feel in real time the hatred I felt for people close to me.

f*ck you, next time I see you, I’ll start by stabbing you in the stomach.

“Ugh, when am I going to date?”

But even if you burn up hatred like that, it will only end up dragging someone down as a loser.

As a single person born in Amman, I have to hate the innocent people in the world, but in the end, I cannot achieve what I want.

However, love is not something that can be achieved by pouring money into it, so I want to avoid having to go as far as ruining the savings I had saved for an adventure…….

f*ck, the world is going to ruin and the baby boom is in full swing, so why is it that every woman I meet is a b*tch with a bad personality who got her limbs amputated by tentacles?

Is it because I set the bar high?

I don’t know of an all-round beauty with beauty, body, and personality, but I just want to sit down and talk with an older woman who listens to me well.

“A passerby there. If it’s okay, could you give me a moment?”

A voice heard while walking down the street muttering such grumblings.

I stopped in my tracks for a moment and glanced back at the place where the sound came from, looking at the people there.

A tent pitched in a remote, dark alley with few people.

However, its presence was clearly felt by the dim candles lit here and there.

Asian rather than fantasy… …. Also, the mysterious atmosphere exuded by the woman wearing a style of clothing similar to that of ‘India or Mongolia’, which is located on the opposite side of Korea or Japan.

“… Fortune-teller?”

“Yes, as you said.”

Soon the woman removed her braids from under her hood, revealing her smile on her face to me.

“I stopped you because I sensed you were worried as you were passing by. If it’s okay, why don’t you leave me for consultation?”

Yes, she is a very pretty woman.

It’s hard to think of anyone running a street stall on this secluded street….

She was also a very mature and quiet woman.

“Uh, um… ….”

Facing such a woman, I couldn’t help but feel conflicted for a moment.

Even though it is a place where civilization is established enough to have banks, it can still be called a world that is falling apart.

Without words, this is a place where highway robbers run rampant in places where no one is looking, except for institutions.

In such a world, there is something unpleasant about those who settle down in these dark alleys and do business.

“hehehe, you seem to be suspicious of me.”

Towards me who was on high alert, she smiled brightly and spoke to me in a relaxed manner.

“But you don’t have to worry. I am a body that can see the past, present, and future……. “The reason we do business in these alleys is because we foresaw a future in which no particular danger would come here today.”

“… “Do you foresee that there is no danger?”

“Yes, at least I am confident that I will get out of here safely today, so I did not hesitate to offer this to you who are passing by.”

Sigh, a woman writing something with a pen on a piece of paper in her hand.

Afterwards, she stared at me with her wide open eyes and asked quietly.

“Let me ask you something. “Are you here, a person with such bad behavior that you would reach out to a woman who is doing business alone this late at night?”

“Oh, is that possible? “It’s hard to make a living, but I don’t want to end up as a criminal.”

It was half sincere.

The other half is also on guard, so rather than reaching out like this, they feel a strong desire to just run away?

“Hmm, is that so?”

After hearing her words, she smiled bitterly and quickly held out the note she had written before hearing my answer.

The following sentence was written inside it:

[Oh, is that possible? It’s hard to make a living, but I don’t want to become a criminal.]

“…… Uh?”

What is it? This?

Why is what I just said written here?

“The name is Woo Hyo-seong. A reincarnated person summoned from the ritual hall of the Tares Empire.”

But that is not the only surprising thing.

Before I knew it, she had taken out her crystal ball in her hand, and with her hand on it, she began reciting information about me one by one.

“Unfortunately, he was not recognized as a warrior and was abandoned by the imperial family with only minimal welfare, so he is in a situation where he is dependent on the empire’s labor union and is making a living by helping the warriors……. “One of the warriors who helped me died recently, and it seems like the guild is taking notice. Am I right?”

“… ….”

“hehehe, you look surprised.”

Yes, you can’t help but be surprised.

Not only my personal information but also recent experiences came out of his mouth.

If the other person is not a swindler who is really determined to deceive me, doesn’t that mean that the other person is a more ‘scary being’ than a mere criminal?

“It’s not that surprising.”

While I was feeling goosebumps, she continued speaking while stroking the crystal ball in her hand as if to reassure me.

“I am born with the ability to see the movement of stars, so I can read the flow of the past, present, and future… …. “I already knew that this place was safe, and that you would pass by me.”

Movement of stars… ….

I don’t know what that means, but at least I could immediately understand that the other person was not an ordinary person.

Anyway, in a world where people who awaken powerful powers by summoning to another world are also rampant, it would be strange that there is not even a fortune teller who can see the future.

“But it is not absolute. Without facing the target, all that can be guessed is approximate information and the future ahead……. “For full-fledged foresight, you need to face it directly and exercise your power.”

After explaining her abilities, she spread her hands and spoke leisurely, holding her crystal ball in front of her.

“Now, the opportunity to know the future has come. What follows from now on is your choice… …. “Please decide with your own hands whether to live in anxiety about a future that cannot be predicted, or to listen to what the future will bring and adapt to it.”

I do not force myself.

Whether I do fortune telling or not is up to me.

However, if the other person is truly a prophet who can see the future, he or she will have guessed what choices will be made in the ‘future just around the corner.’

“… “Do you know that I have no money?”

“Of course, I knew that and made the suggestion. We’ll give it to you for free the first time, so if you’re satisfied with the answer, please visit us often in the future, or recommend it to your friends…….”

No problem. They provide proper service as well as competency certification, so it would be a loss to go without it.

This is especially true if the person making such a suggestion is the ideal type I had in mind until just now, ‘an older woman who would listen to me well.’
