Well, here's what you're gonna do.

Marie-chan clapped her hands and stood up on the bed.

I heard a very mild noise.

"Forget the pain or the pain, I just choked to death."

"It depends on your destiny."

"It's up to fate... oh, I see. But the Goddess of Destiny is going to do it."

22 cards about the size of a palm that floats in a circle.

I can only see the back side from here, but I soon knew what it was. [M]

"Yes, as you can imagine, it's a tarot card. I have prepared 22 cards for Greater Arkana."

That's familiar to me too.

Tarots with a mysterious image that seems somehow correct can be a good prop for dumping ordinary people into divination.

It is a convenient item that I have used for many years.

"Each of the 22 positive and reverse positions is assigned a treatment. In other words, it's up to you to decide what happens next."

Ironically, I've been in control of other people's lives in Tarot, and now I'm in control of myself.

I suppose this is also punishment, but my cheeks are attracted to my bad taste.

Marie-chan, you look so cute.

"By the way, won't you tell me what kind of treatment there is?"

"Of course I can't tell you. Because the future is something no one knows."

The future is a matter of utmost obviousness that no one understands.

I just don't think I thought so for a while. [M]

Humans are creatures of thought.

So if I could read my thoughts, I could predict what I would do next, and by guiding my thoughts, I could make myself do something convenient.

It is the same for cards.

I was able to blindfold the cards I used and draw the cards I was aiming for, and I was able to choose cards that looked like them according to the situation of my fortune-telling partner.

That's what my fortune-telling squid looks like.

No, such things are not called fortune-telling.

It's just a trick, it's just a scam.

So this must be a real fortuneteller.

Probably my first real talent fortune teller.

"Now, are you ready? Let's get started, show your true fortune."

Hold your fingertips tightly until they tremble.

Marie-chan, who was watching, smiled satisfactorily.

If this is the reward for desecrating the Goddess of Destiny, let's take it easy.

That's all I've played with other people's lives for money.

Hmm, one breath.

If you don't know what to do next, you don't know which card to draw in the first place.

All I have to do is choose.

A card that determines your future.

"Fufu, is that okay?

Marie-chan takes the one I pointed out. [M]

Then the rest of the cards fell and scattered on the floor as if they had lost power unexpectedly.

There are several sheets on the front.

As far as I can see from here, "Magician", "Star", "Tower", "Demon", and then "World".

"Tower" has no good meaning in either the forward or reverse position.

Should I be glad I didn't have to choose?

"So, what did I choose?

"It can't be helped if it's too much, okay?"

I slowly lay down my eyes when I saw the pattern turned towards me. [M]

"This is your destiny, Reaper."

The pattern is a positive-position "Reaper", meaning the end, the ruin.

It's a card I've never drawn in my life. [M]

It is difficult to use because it has too strong a meaning, regardless of the forward or reverse position.

This card was unnecessary in my way of not letting too much despair, not letting too much hope, and continuing to prolong by judgment.

"Somehow I know. This is a fight."

"... what does that mean?"

"No, I thought it was my destiny. Unh, I've been seeing you every ten years."

Marie-chan smiled.

It's not a flawed smile like it used to be, it's a natural smile as it looks.

"You have a cuter face."

"Thank you, it may be a long time since I laughed like this."

When Marie-chan laughed, the wind began to blow from somewhere even though the window was not open.

Pretty strong. I've never felt anything like it during a typhoon.

"Maricha... what is this!

Marie-chan standing in front of me is as flat as ever. [M]

No, this wind hasn't disturbed my hair at all. Am I the only one who feels this?

Oh, yeah.

Marie-chan slowly approached me and took her right hand to hold the Reaper card. [M]

"I didn't introduce myself properly, so I changed it."

In the wind, which kept my eyes open, I saw something strange. [M]

The card hasn't rotated since Marie-chan took it.

Yes, if you pass the card in the forward position, the recipient will grasp the card in the reverse position.

I mean, this card on my right hand...

"I am the God of destiny, what you call the Reaper."

"Hey, this!

"I told you, your destiny."

At the end of the sentence, you can't hear anything with a roar.

I don't remember when I lost my mind.

This was my first encounter with Marie the Reaper.
