I Became a Fortune Teller in a Game My Sister Made

10 – 3. Mysterious Fortune Teller

Why did things turn out this way?

Namgoong Min hid his trembling heart and looked at Rain, who had become extremely polite while pretending to be relaxed.

“Hee, hee…!”

When he stares at him without saying a word, she looks at him with her whole body shaking.

Strong Weak Weak Strong (强弱弱强).

It’s a word that accurately describes Lane Arthur, and it’s the reason she’s so scared.

She blocked her telekinesis, which she was proud of, so easily that her attitude changed after recognizing Namgoong-min as stronger than herself. Even that Lucas Arthur can’t stop her telekinesis with a single gesture, so in Lane’s head, the dynamic relationship of ‘me ＞ Lucas ＞ Lane’ will be fixed.

It’s a very simple way of thinking, but considering the environment she grew up in, it’s not impossible.

And it was also a device for the main character to easily submit to Lane, who plays the role of the ‘evil woman’ commonly referred to in this female-oriented game.

‘… … Seeing it in person doesn’t make me feel good.’

The sight of Lane desperately crouching down and giggling while keeping an eye on me was not good even with empty words.

… But didn’t Rain try to stab me with a candlestick earlier? Couldn’t this be plus minus zero to each other?

‘I somehow came all the way here on an improvised basis… … .’

Namgoong Min lowered his eyes and glanced sideways at the empty space without Rain knowing.

At least it was because of that that I was able to overcome the situation like this.

extra reward

– Acquire the general skill ‘My Little Fortune’!

– Enhanced job-specific equipment ‘White Gloves for Novice Fortune Tellers’! ＞

‘I don’t know why I’m second… … Now is not the time to think about that.’

Using the acquired general skill ‘my own little fortune teller’, I bring Rain Arturman here.

Her telekinesis was destroyed with the ‘cleanliness’ skill attached to her enhanced white gloves.

‘Honestly, when I first saw it, I complained that something like this was Ganghwa.’

The white gloves reinforced as a tutorial quest reward changed the ‘cleanliness’ skill at the same time as the level of enhancement that increased the point accuracy by 1% more.

Originally, only a little first impression bonus and cleanliness were possible, but now it is possible to clean only within the scope recognized as ‘my space’!

‘I’m so glad I lifted the candlestick.’

Fortunately, Lane was able to clean this fortune teller with the cleaning skill by lifting the candlestick and spilling the wax, and that ‘cleaning’ included returning the messy items to their original positions.

It was how I, who had no fighting abilities, could appear to have destroyed Lane’s psychic powers with just a flick of my hand.

‘The problem is that I can’t do it one more time.’

Because there is a cooldown of 1 hour to activate the cleaning skill.

If Rain shows his telekinetic powers again, he has no choice but to be beaten.

‘Now that it’s like this, I’ll continue this atmosphere somehow!’

“Rain Arthur.”

“Yes, yes!”

“Honestly, it was a little unpleasant. It’s a big road.

“S-I’m sorry! I, in my own way…”

“I wasn’t asking for an excuse.”

“sorry!”

It was a lie.

To be honest, it was purely coincidental that I noticed Lane was following me.

I purposely went into a dark alley to use the acquired skill ‘my own little fortune teller’, but when I used the skill, it just came out that she was behind me.

As soon as I realized that ‘Rain Arthur’, not anyone else, was following me, I dragged her into the fortune-telling house summoned with a skill and pretended to be strong, but considering the difference in combat power between her and me, I’m still uneasy.

Well, it’s nothing else, but she has no choice but to believe in ‘Strong, weak and weak’, which is the underlying principle and absolute law in her heart.

“And you shouldn’t pass people over.”

“yes……?”

“You say that I’m Liu Yan’s cousin? It’s offensive, so don’t even mention it again.”

“Oh, I see!”

The reason why he suddenly spat out short words and changed his tone was to take advantage of the weak and weak.

Lane is more vulnerable to the high-handed tone of Lucas Artur or her father.

“And it seems like they’re investigating my background…”

“That, that. At that time, I didn’t know that Namgoong-min was a strong person……”

“Is that an excuse?”

“No! Sorry! Sorry!”

… … The background investigation was overlooked, but was it real? Like Rio, why do you guys like background investigations so much?

Yes, I did attract some aggro, but even taking that into account, I already sighed at the second background investigation.

“Rain, you’re smart, right? You know what I’ve been talking about?”

“Again, clever……? Yes, yes! Of course! I know it well!”

“I entered the academy for personal reasons, and I want to be quiet if possible. You understand?”

“Yes! I understand! I understand everything! There is not a single part that is overlooked or not heard!”

“……okay.”

reaction is too much

No matter how strong and weak she is, is it normal for her, who has the pride of being a young-ae of a prestigious family, to tremble as she comes out to such a low level?

but… … Maybe this was normal for her.

If you think of Lane’s character events and the education at Arthur’s mansion… …

‘… … … I have to resolve Lane’s character event as quickly as possible.’

It is Rain Artur who is being severely emotionally abused even to this day. The difficulty of the event to solve it was quite high, so I didn’t want to get involved with Rain at first.

Seeing her like this changed my mind.

I muttered quietly as I changed my priorities in my head.

“Okay. Then, would you like to look at that card?”

“yes?”

At my sudden question, Lane turns her head to the side of the table where my fingers were pointing.

What caught her gaze… … A tarot card that I don’t know since when.

“……Hi!”

“look.”

“Heeep! Oh, I see!”

While hiccuping as if it were a bit startled, Lane lifted the card with trembling hands.

It’s not visible from my side because it’s only facing itself, but it’s obvious that it’s a card.

I whispered to Rain, whose complexion was strangely hardened as soon as he saw the Taro.

“I understand?”

“I-really…?”

“I just know. You know why I’m doing this, right?”

“Yes, yes! Of course… of course!”

The card I gave her is Major Arcana number 0, ＜The Clown＞.

This time, rather than the meaning of the tarot card, the card itself has meaning to her.

Especially since it’s deeply intertwined with character events… … Maybe we can get into her character event this semester.

It was a conversation with Lane that started by chance, but I did everything I could.

I waved my hand toward Lane’s back.

“Go out now.”

“That……Nam Goong-min.”

“why?”

“That card is really… oh no no! How can I get out?”

“Just lift the curtain over there and go out.”

He seemed to be trying to say something, but he pointed to the blackout curtain behind Lane.

‘My Little Fortune’ has the advantage that you can forcibly drag one person nearby, and it is a completely different space, so it is not visible from the outside… … The law of destruction was also very simple.

You just have to go out.

It’s dark here and the atmosphere is mysterious, but it’s surrounded by blackout curtains, not walls, so you can go out without any blockages.

When I first got it, I wondered if I could use it somehow, but it doesn’t seem to be of much use other than just using it as a fortune teller.

“Then I’ll be back!”

“Yes. Don’t show off at the academy.”

“yep!”

I don’t know why, but it was after Rain, who had been hesitant to go out while watching me until the end, disappeared behind the curtain.

“ha………….”

I was able to exhale a deep relief rising from the danjeon.

“Rain’s character event… is too early.”

Unlike Liu Yan, who approached on purpose, there is nothing good about other special job guys who approach quickly.

Not to mention the ＜Imperial＞, the ＜Hero＞ won’t respond, and the ＜Saint＞ will always be hostile due to the nature of my job.

The only thing better is Arthur and his brother, but if they approach too quickly, they will be recognized as weak by Lane or ignored by Lucas and struggle.

“Still, I got involved, so what?”

I wouldn’t know if we hadn’t even talked to each other, but seeing such an attitude, we can’t stand by and watch the abuse that Lane is going through.

Then, what should I prepare to solve her character’s event?

“Oh, I’ll take the card.”

The Major Arcana ＜The Clown＞ shown to Lane.

Anyway, whenever I use a job skill, a tarot card is created, but since I usually carry it with me, I picked up the upside-down card.

“……uh?”

──Wait a minute.

“card….”

did you give me the wrong one?

*

“Ah, lady! I’m really sorry. I missed you right in front of you… Miss?”

“……Huh? Ah, no. That’s okay, I want to walk alone, so go in first.”

“Yes? Yes, yes. Everyone withdraw! Found the lady, everyone withdraw!”

Lane Arthur, who came out of the fortune teller, continued to walk, repeating only a hand motion to go away, despite the words of an attendant who must have been anxiously looking for her.

Well, there were a lot of embarrassing things in a short period of time, so it was only natural that my head was confused.

The reason she walked absentmindedly was because of something else.

“I said I was smart…”

A strong man who overwhelms Lane’s psychic powers with one gesture gave her a compliment.

It was a fact that she knew well that it was a bit sarcastic, but… … Still, isn’t a compliment a compliment?

“I received a compliment…”

The compliments given to her by the weak mean nothing. Only the praise of the strong has meaning.

When was the last compliment you received?

I don’t think it’s been in at least 3 years.

Rain, who was chewing on Namgoong Min’s praise with an expressionless expression, suddenly remembered the last card he saw.

“Is that card really?”

A tarot card lay beside her.

For a moment, I remembered ‘that card’ I had seen in the past, and I inadvertently stiffened my body.

“……lover.”

Contrary to what Lane expected, the card turned over was not ＜The Clown＞.

Major Arcana 6, ＜Lover＞, depicting a man and woman being blessed by an angel.

And Namgoong Min asked if he understood that.

“………….”

Lane’s dynamics are seizures that only come out when someone is next to him, so if he’s alone like now, he doesn’t bother to say honorifics to strong people.

It’s been a long time since I thought about a strong person except for my brother when I was alone in the first place.

Because it was so painful to think of my father.

“……Why me?”

Have you ever met me before? Or was it love at first sight?

“Confession, confession…”

Just like compliments, she sees no point in confessions from the weak. Because that was her own mental illness and trauma, like Rio’s suspicious illness.

So, this was the first time she had received a ‘proper’ confession.

Even though he was a ‘strong man’ in the first place, he did not criticize or reprimand like his father. That he didn’t treat her with indifference like his older brother.

Because it was her first time.

“………….”

Lane was confused.

What feelings do you feel toward Namgoong Min? … … I don’t know.

“……I want to receive it again.”

Suddenly, I was surprised that he muttered that to himself.

Lane inadvertently covered her mouth.
