24 – A Dangerous Invitation

About a week has passed since I just hung up on a very surprising spam call.

In the meantime, nothing special happened except for Hattieri, who had been playing to his heart’s content, and the fact that he had seen a regular customer’s divination twice.

“…But why do I feel exhausted when nothing else has happened…?”

It seems that the fact that the dangerous person called Dokma knows my identity and that I don’t know when that contact will come to me is unexpectedly stressful.

Is this the difference between knowing and waiting and waiting without knowing?

What can I say… I feel so uneasy after listening to Hatieri’s words, it seems like a tidbit… But what can I do? The fortune teller teacher, after all, that’s me…

Ah, but I guess I’ll have to change it somehow. If I live like this, I don’t think I’ll die because of my name. Really…

Financial treatment also has its limitations… These days, having too much money again seems to be a burden.

I was just an ordinary petit bourgeois until a few months ago…!! Even because he was unemployed, he looked at his friend’s store instead!!

To such a person, he is an executive officer of a huge organization in the back world, an outside director of the 10th Korean guild, a member of the 3 major swordsmen, and the owner of Japan’s S-rank superhuman fire sword. Other than that, everything else!

I don’t have enough money to play and eat for the rest of my life, so I’m getting scared because the money keeps being copied!! When Akame asked for a monthly salary of 30 million won, I was frightened, but I turned into an idiot!! The money coming in was a situation that exceeded that for a while!!

Ah, come to think of it, the guy who runs the tarot card shop… I heard that the dating business is going very well these days…

That guy is literally my benefactor and enemy who changed my life 180 degrees, in a good or bad way… The other day, he sent me a set of Korean beef with my girlfriend to eat grilled beef and have a good relationship with my bloody tears and grace. .

Hu…I think I’m wrong, so you can live a normal and sweet life…

If you get married later, you should send me a refrigerator…

Anyway, I’ve been looking for things related to divination lately… I felt like I needed to look for a mental recovery method.

Well, how about meditating, one of the most widely known methods?

That moment when I sat upright in a familiar way and closed my eyes with my waist wide open…!

Threading, ting, ting, ding, ding!

…Some strange bell rang.

No! Of course, the timing is also like this when the phone comes!!

Even the phone call I received was from a cell phone containing the contact information of Dokma, the root of all my mental problems for the past week!

Anyway, when I hurriedly answered the phone, I heard the voice of a stranger on the other side of the phone.

[Are you Mr. Hanwool Dam, a Korean fortune teller, an executive of Bargfang, an outside director of the Cheongsong Guild, and the owner of the Hwasword?]

“Uh… That’s right, but why such an inconvenient confirmation…”

And at that moment, I was taken aback by the introduction full of extremely flashy titles that I had received for the first time in my life.

No, what is that horribly burdensome hybrid title! That’s true, but…

[Hmm, that’s right. As you probably expected, I am Dokma-sama’s subordinate. I contacted you because we are almost ready to bring you here.]

“That’s right…”

It was burdensome before I heard it, but it was also burdensome after I heard it. sh*t, just the poison horse itself is very burdensome.

[If we set off after finishing all the preparations… Perhaps two days later, in the evening, the staff to accompany the teacher will visit the teacher’s house. I’ve already prepared pretty much everything, so I don’t think there’ll be any problem if the teacher prepares the tools used for divination or simple preparations for going out.]

“Ah, I see…I see.”

[Ah, do you have any friends to go with?]

“Uh… Maybe three of us will go together.]

[Hmm…3 People, confirmed.]

After, yes. Let’s think good. Isn’t it a way to live longer by thinking positively? The secret to longevity is less stress.

…But isn’t it that I’m destined to live with stress all the time? Probably not…

Ac, I need to control my negative thoughts like this! I will go back!!

Anyway, I thought it would be most comfortable to think of traveling abroad for free. Aren’t you the kind of person who has never traveled abroad before?

[In that case… I’ll see you in the evening in two days, sir.]

“Yes. I understand…”

That’s how the date for me to cross over to China to meet Dokma was finally decided.

***********************

Just like that, the two days went by in an instant without much happening…

As the time for Dokma’s men seemed to be approaching, I sighed in worry.

“…Letting go of worry isn’t easy…”

Hagisa, having lived my whole life as an ordinary petit bourgeois, it can’t be easy for me to adapt so quickly.

You can’t change your personality. And wouldn’t that be even harder?

“Hmm…Come to think of it, can I see my own reflection?”

As I sighed in front of the mirror hanging over the washbasin, a thought suddenly came to me.

Aren’t you a little curious? Well, in places like movies, it is said that a shaman cannot foresee his own destiny, and no matter how great a prophet, he cannot change his own destiny.

Well, a movie is a movie and reality is reality, so it’s most likely different… But I was curious, so I looked in the mirror and looked at my face.

At this point, I don’t know why I have that kind of power, but I’m aware that I have the power of a fortuneteller with a fairly high accuracy rate.

“Hmm…”

Anyway, after looking at myself in the mirror, I gently touched my face, looked at my reflection, and read something.

“…The medicine that is good for the body is bitter?”

Anyway, it seemed that there was a limit to what I could see by looking at my face. It was difficult to see differently than when I see other people’s fortunes, and what I see is not so clear.

Wasn’t it pretty detailed when looking at other people’s divinations? After all, it seemed difficult for a fortune teller to get his own fortune.

…But what is this? Listening to it doesn’t just remind me of the saying that good medicine is good for the body.

“I don’t know. I’ll find out when the time comes.”

Where are all the things that don’t come out with the same thing as being in danger of dying? You should think good.

“Can you see anything more?”

As I was examining my face some more to see if there was anything else coming out, I heard a knock on the bathroom door.

“Han-ul, are you still far away? Looks like a visitor has come.”

“Ah…Welcome. I’ll be leaving soon!!”

Knowing that Dokma’s men, who had been told by Akame to come pick me up, had arrived, I quickly got out of the bathroom, took my clothes and cards, and went outside.

When I left the room like that, the trio of Akame, Ricone, and Black Cat were waiting for me in the living room, each ready and waiting.

“Uh, shall we go out then?”

As we opened the front door and went out, a slender middle-aged man with a clean look was waiting for us.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Han-ul Dam. And the teacher’s company. This is Dokma-sama’s subordinate whom I contacted the other day. Then…Follow me.”

Following the man who introduced himself as just a subordinate of Dokma, we got into a luxurious, spacious and comfortable car, and headed to the airport.

“…A private plane?”

“hahahaha…That’s right. I thought about taking you to a seat like first class, but… Since Dokma-sama’s guests and some of his companions are there, I mobilized a private plane.”

Oh my gosh… Living here, I enjoy the luxury of riding all the private planes I’ve only seen in movies and videos…

As I began my life as a real fortuneteller, I felt like I was enjoying a lot of experiences that were far from realistic.

Anyway, after hesitating in such a luxurious and luxurious private plane, I arrived in China comfortably, so that I did not know how time passed.

As expected, inspections and checkpoints were free passes, and the destination we arrived at after being guided in that way was…A truly gigantic, dark green mansion.

The mansion is so vast that you have to drive a long way to get past the big, solid-looking fence and front gate.

It was like seeing an old castle. Maybe it was because it was Dokma’s house, but somehow it felt gloomy.

I went all the way inside and entered the largest and grandest-looking mansion, and inside I was guided separately.

“Dokma wants to see Mr. Hanul Dam first.”

“…Whatever.”

They told me not to do anything dangerous, so I put my hopes on that and gathered a bit of courage and followed the guide all the way in. I was shown to a certain room.

“If you go in, Dokma will be waiting for you.”

“Oh yes…”

When I opened the door and went inside, I had a strange feeling from the beginning.

Because green smoke and steam were pouring out.

“Oh, are you finally here? This is later than I thought.”

As I was looking around for something else, I heard a voice from far away.

And right after that, choke! With the sound of escaping from the water, someone stepped out through the steam and smoke.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Fortune Teller. I am Wi Ji-young, the poisonous horse that invited you.”

He is taller than most adult men, like a volleyball player, and his white skin is flawless. A mysterious, secret two-tone hair with light green inside, green eyes, and a cool, expressionless beauty.

The problem is…

‘Heh heh, I’m going crazy…’

It was as if a green liquid of unknown origin flowed down, that is to say, it came to me without a single thread on it. I couldn’t see anything, though.

“I feel sorry for the outstretched hand. Are you not going to accept it?”

‘I’m dizzy, really…”

No, how is it that everyone I meet these days is not normal?!

I felt dizzy for a moment, whether it was because of the poisonous horse in front of my eyes or because of the steam and green smoke.
