Chapter 38 Divination
In principle, Chihaya Mifune only reads divination for the same customer once a day.
But first, Kashiwa Sanhui has a lot of principles in his hands.
Secondly, she also wanted to see where the limits of this ill-fated guest were.
After reshuffling the tarot cards and arranging them evenly, Kashiwa Sanhui this time carefully selected three cards that looked lucky.
The first one is the upright High Priestess.
"You'll have a platonic, spiritual relationship that lasts for quite a while."
Kashiwa Sanhui nodded. If one has a woman who understands him well as his partner, no matter what the reason is for not being able to achieve anything sexually, love can always make up for the gap.
Pretty literary, but I like it.
The second one is the lover in the upright position.
"Your future partner will get to know you through group activities, and your feelings will grow over time."
Group activities? Does a band count, or maybe some future academic conference?
The third card is the reversed destiny.
"Because of inappropriate communication methods, it will take a long time for you and your future partner to establish a relationship."
After interpreting all three cards, it was surprising that Chihaya Mifune was not as unlucky as she had imagined, but rather quite normal.
"Well... this at least shows that the curse others placed on you only targets your physical and mental health and career."
"My health is more important than my relationship situation," Kashiwa Miki shook his head weakly. "I'm sorry, Miss Mifune, but I'm leaning towards the explanation of my future path being career failure and romantic success. I'm afraid your so-called bad luck is just overly sensitive."
Of course, I pretended not to believe it, after all, the system wouldn't lie. But if I wanted Chihaya Mifune to reveal more information, I had to retreat in order to advance.
"Eh? Please trust me, my intuition won't be wrong!"
The young Chihaya Mifune was manipulated by the awful guy Kashiwa Miki.
"I, I can help you relieve your bad luck!"
Chihaya Mifune took out an earring from her pocket and placed it on the table.
The earrings were made entirely of silver, inlaid with a somewhat dull ruby. The intricate patterns on them were somewhat rough, and they must have been handmade by an unskilled apprentice.
"These are earrings I made myself. They are called Concubine Silvia Earrings, after the name of this ruby."
“Are we almost entering the sales pitch?”
"No, it's free!" Chihaya Mifune felt a little heartbroken. Although this was something that Lian got from somewhere and gave it to her for free, it was made by her own hands after all, so it should be worth at least 50,000 or 60,000 yen.
Now human lives are at stake. Even if it means earning a little less, I must deliver this earring to Baihe Sanhui.
Intuition told Chihaya Mifune that Kashiwa Miki was not a bad guy, and once he realized his kindness, he would definitely repay him.
"Please wear it every day. It will at least help prevent your curse from further eroding your future."
"If you think it's really useful, you can come find me in Shinjuku. If not, consider it my apology for interrupting your journey."
After pinching this exquisite little gadget between his fingers, the system information was updated almost immediately.
[Special Status: Curse (Weakened): You have been cursed by someone through special means. This curse is weakened by a blessing, slightly depriving you of your good fortune. This status upgrades to Curse 1 after 67 days.]
Carefully pinning the earring on his left earlobe, a fresh breath rushed into Kashiwa Sanhui's nostrils, lifting his spirits.
"Maybe it's just psychological, but I do feel great, thanks to you."
Kashiwa Miki took out five 10,000 yen bills and handed them respectfully to Mifune Chihaya with both hands.
"I don't like to owe favors to others. Consider this as payment for these earrings."
Chihaya Mifune was a bit surprised. Did this guy actually believe it straight away? Wasn't her intuition coming through too quickly?
"Anyway, perhaps because of my lack of skills, I really can't lift the curse for you, but at least it's alleviated. Here's my phone number—"
Chihaya Mifune wrote her contact information on a small piece of paper and handed it to Miki Kashiwa.
"If you feel unwell and the hospital can't find out the result, please contact me immediately."
After solemnly taking the piece of paper and putting it in his wallet, Kashiwa Sanhui stood up and bowed slightly.
"Thank you very much, Miss Mifune Chihaya, for doing your best for me. I bid you farewell and hope to see you again someday."
"Well, see you again if we're lucky, Mr. Kashiwa Sanhui."
Watching Kashiwa Miki gradually disappearing in the crowd, Mifune Chihaya contacted someone through LINE.
"Lian, are you there?"
……
11pm.
"Ten thousand, twenty thousand...two hundred and ten thousand."
In a room on the second floor of Rising, Shoko Toyokawa had just finished washing up and was lying on the tidy bed, comfortably counting the fruits of her labor over the past few days, swinging her calves up and down.
An hour ago, another 20,000 yen came into his account, bringing Xiangzi one step closer to his dream of buying a keyboard in full.
Useless Dad would occasionally send some messages to harass me, such as admitting his mistakes and apologizing, finding an opportunity to make a fortune and urgently needing start-up capital, etc.
Of course, Xiangzi didn't write a single letter, nor did he reply to a single message. If it weren't for the constraints of their father-daughter relationship, Xiangzi would have wanted to block his father just like he had blocked Su Shi.
Oh, Sushi is back on the whitelist.
Su Shi Hemu would occasionally call him. In addition to general chatting, Su Shi also secretly suggested that he could provide him with better food and accommodation, and might even provide him with pocket money.
I am Toyokawa Shoko, the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family. Even if I fall into poverty, I cannot rely on others to support me!
So Xiangzi just pretended to be stupid and pretended not to know. Su Shi was also very understanding and never mentioned the matter again, but just chatted with him.
Mu Ze mostly followed Su Shi's instructions and invited Xiangzi to go out and play. Of course, Xiangzi didn't have much time, so except for the live performance next week, Xiangzi basically rejected all the invitations.
Instead of spending this time, you might as well relax and chat with your doctor.
Tomorrow is Saturday. I should remind the doctor to accompany me to the music store to buy a keyboard.
"Doctor, are you asleep?"
Xiangzi dialed the number of Kashiwa Sanhui and greeted him in a lazy tone.
"No, I have nothing to do tonight, so I'm just wandering around Shibuya."
"Give me a good rest. You promised to go out with me. Don't show up in front of me tomorrow looking like a living dead."
"I will appear in front of you on time at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Please relax, Ms. Toyokawa Shoko."
"Just remember."
"Speaking of which, I met a tarot card reader today, and he predicted that I would be plagued by bad luck recently, but my love luck was unexpectedly smooth."
Baihe Sanhui decided to conceal the curse a little bit, and resolutely implement the old Chinese tradition of reporting good news but not bad news.
"Can you tell me what the tarot reader predicted for your love life?"
After catching the key words, Xiangzi instantly entered the focus mode.
"The tarot reader said that my future partner and I met at a group activity."
Group activities…collective food poisoning also counts as a group activity, right?
"Well, please continue." Xiangzi blushed a little.
"My lover and I will have a spiritual love affair that will last for a long time."
Xiangzi's breathing gradually became heavier, and the lazy and relaxed tone of his voice could no longer be maintained.
"Any more?"
"Maybe because our way of getting along isn't right, it'll take a long time for my relationship to be confirmed... Xiangzi, Xiangzi, are you listening?"
Not listening anymore, Xiangzi started rolling around on the bed, struggling with himself.
"Woo, I feel like I need to grow a brain——"
Xiangzi let out a mournful cry.
On the other side, Kashiwa Sanhui murmured to himself in confusion: "Doesn't Xiangzi have a brain? Oo?"
