I Became a Fortune Teller in a Game My Sister Made

33 – 7. The fortuneteller says

“You know… do you?”

The princess muttered blankly.

After class, after returning to the dorm, the princess found an assassination notice.

She’s irritable and anxious and… … I felt fear.

No matter how much the princess of the unified Korean Empire was, she was only a human being in front of the fear of death that could come from anywhere.

So I took the side effects and followed Namgoong Min and tried to interrogate him somehow.

Do you know everything?

“Is that because you’re one of the assassins?”

aww

Come to think of it, there is no other explanation.

The fact that he brought up her secret from the beginning, the role of the messenger, and the fact that he came.

It must have been a trap to bring me out here to show that I was openly suspicious.

The princess’s hostile gaze was directed at Namgung-min and the darkness of the alley surrounding them.

When I think of the moment when we split hands earlier, Namgung-min isn’t very physically strong, but… … There is an unknown skill that was used on Lily Whiterose.

I can’t help but think of him. First of all, to divert attention, I raised my fist–

“No? It’s not.”

“A lie——”

“Otherwise, would I be talking so leisurely?”

“…….”

That statement is not wrong.

If this fortune teller is really on the same side as the assassins.

Common sense makes it impossible to miss this opportunity.

‘… … No, maybe it’s a ploy to catch me off guard to make sure it kills me.’

However, it could be that the action was intentional.

The princess thought… … …

“Princess.”

“Hee!?”

“You’re suspicious.”

… … While doing so, I let out a small scream at the sudden tickling of my ears.

The fortuneteller who sees through the princess’s mind as if it were only natural.

He was smiling as always.

“I understand. Doubt is like a quagmire. Once you start, you fall into it without end. Just like Mr. Liu.”

“………….”

“Are you not suspicious of my words and actions? Don’t you think that everything I do is an act and a pretense, and that I have other intentions?”

“…….”

A very poignant word.

That’s why the princess didn’t answer anything.

It was because I was afraid that all my thoughts would always be read by Namgoong Min.

Although the princess was always confident, she felt herself shrinking in front of this fortuneteller.

“It’s perfectly normal. That’s normal.”

“………….”

“But you must trust me.”

“……Why?”

“Yes, it’s because I’m on the princess’s side.”

side. be on my side

Thinking over that word, the princess glared at Namgoong Min.

yes, are you on my side?

“Then can you answer my question?”

“Anything.”

“How did you know everything about the assassin?”

That was a question for the princess.

How on earth did a mere fortuneteller know of an assassin who was threatening the princess?

What if he himself isn’t one of them?

But Namgoong Min was still smiling.

“Don’t you know my job well?”

“……fortune-teller.”

“How would a fortune teller get information?”

“………no way.”

did you score?

You figured it all out?

“Are you deceiving me right now…?”

“What is deception?”

“How do you figure all that out with dots!”

Although the princess was screaming out loud in a heartfelt rage.

The fortune teller was the same as the first. He had smiling eyes and smiles full of laughter, without the slightest embarrassment or movement.

“So, does anything else make sense?”

“……yes?”

“Being able to hit things in Mr. Liu’s pocket, predicting the earthquake on the day of the entrance ceremony, finding the way out of the maze, knowing the secret of the princess, and knowing the direction from the mountain to the destination.”

Namgoong Min talks.

As if it wasn’t really a big deal, as if taking something out of your pocket, for granted.

Rather, in a voice that seemed to bruise the princess for asking such a thing.

“Do you think everything is possible with dots?”

“…….”

that.

… … that.

“You must have already completed my background investigation. Even though I was born in the Korean Empire, I have no ties to strange groups, the upper classes, or, of course, the imperial family.”

“…….”

“There’s no way I knew that information in advance, so what would it be?”

incomprehensible.

That was the feeling the princess felt for Namgoong Min.

You know what you couldn’t know, and you do what you couldn’t do.

If you look at the background of Namgoong-min, he is just an ordinary person who has had a bit of misfortune. I have no idea what to do.

It’s not that I don’t have contact with people often, I don’t exchange secret things, and I don’t go in and out of places often.

just plain… … ＜Fortune Teller＞.

so that.

“Isn’t the answer only divination?”

Even though it is infinitely irrational, illogical and unscientific.

There is only one conclusion.

“How are you, Princess?”

“…….”

“Do you believe me… No, do you believe my point?”

The princess thought and thought, and finally came to a conclusion.

If Namgoong-Min is truly an incomprehensible being and a person who can find out all that information through dots.

If there was nothing behind him and he was out to help the princess.

“……yes.”

At least, you shouldn’t leave it as an enemy.

I came to the conclusion that I had to attract them as allies unconditionally.

“great.”

“Whoa… I like it. Let’s listen to what happened like this.”

Not all suspicions about Namgoong Min have been resolved yet, and he is still a suspicious person.

At least right now, she had no better option than trusting Namgoong Min.

The princess, who had regained her cool, watched Namgoong-min with serious eyes.

“Who is the assassin?”

“Um, that’s right.”

If Namgoong-min really knew who the assassin was, it would be the first thing to know.

However, it was true that if it was known as a ‘dot’, it would be less reliable… … At least so far this fortuneteller has never been wrong.

That’s why the princess was willing to believe his words——

“By the way, does the princess really need to know?”

“──What?”

What do you mean?

do you need to know

“……Can you explain what I mean?”

“Just because the princess knows about assassins, what can you do?”

“Ha! That’s right, of course they…!”

“Would you like to capture an assassin who has never been assassinated?”

“…….”

A criminal called an assassin is indeed strange.

If he didn’t assassinate, he’s not an assassin, so what’s the name of arresting him?

You can’t be called an assassin just because you want to kill an annoying superior or boss in your heart.

“Ah, there was an assassination notice. If you use that as a pretext, you can catch it.”

“But if you do that…”

“You know, you can’t get behind it. It’s going to have its tail cut off.”

“…….”

“Did you know now? The reason the princess doesn’t need to know about them.”

The princess didn’t ask how he knew about the assassination notice. I would have figured it out anyway.

… … As Namgoong-min said, the princess wanted to know not only the assassin, but also the background that ordered the assassination.

That’s why she overreacted to the prince’s escort. It was clear that the person behind the assassin who put the assassin in the prince’s escort was not serious.

After organizing her thoughts, the princess looked at Namgoong Min, who was still talking.

“By the way, the assassination is three days later. So, rather, if the princess knows the assassins and is wary of them, she can only raise suspicion.”

“………….”

You know not only who the assassin was, but also the date?

The princess burst out laughing. It seemed like I couldn’t get over it otherwise.

What does this fortune teller not know? Is there such a thing?

I had already experienced his divination, so I knew the hit rate well.

Even so, it seemed to be relieved to see it in front of my eyes one more time. Only then could I trust his words and spend the three days comfortably.

Out of curiosity, the princess picked up a stone near her feet.

“Mr. Namgoong Min, please give me one more chance to believe in your divination.”

“……yes?”

“Which hand is this stone in?”

Jumulluck.

Hiding her hands behind her back and holding a stone in one hand, the princess reached out to Namgoong-min with both hands clenched into fists.

he was still smiling

“You said. The assassination is three days later, and if I knew the assassin, you might suspect it. But isn’t that just your point?”

“……Yes that’s right.”

“So, trust in that point. I want to confirm that again. All I can think of right now is this easy problem… but please trust me.”

If it were his point of knowing all kinds of information and penetrating thoughts, this would be too simple.

The princess laughed briefly as she asked for his trust and tested him with such a simple question.

Namgoong Min pondered for a moment, then raised his hand with a smile on his face.

The princess watched his choice, and then—

“No, I’m childish. If you’ve decided to believe it, it’s your duty to believe it to the end.”

“…………Is that so, I’m really glad.”

──Introspection, he threw away the stone he was holding in his right hand.

Somehow, Namgoong Min’s hand seems to have turned to the left, but it must be because of his mood.

“Okay. If I didn’t need to know about the assassin, what would I do?”

“Big, hmmm. I’ve made an appointment with the prince tomorrow. We’ll take care of everything there.”

“……A day, after?”

“Of course. It’s not that difficult compared to choosing a stone earlier.”

“…That’s a boring joke.”

Did I give such a simple problem to such a person?

At Namgoong Min’s bold declaration, the princess gradually found herself trusting him.

Maybe he was more trustworthy because he was located in the realm of illogicality. Because the source of this endless confidence is that it will never change.

The princess, who ruled the imperial family with her own strength and senses rather than brainstorming, nodded.

“I’m anxious, but I’ll trust you. Mr. Namgoong-min.”

“I will definitely do it.”

That’s why the princess didn’t notice.

… … That the fortune teller’s back was wet with cold sweat.

*

“I see. Can I get along better with her?”

[So you had that conversation with Eunha.]

“Of course. It’s just a dot, but I’m proud that it’s better than nothing.”

[That’s right.]

The next day, a classroom somewhere in the academy.

Arriving according to the letter sent by the prince, I was having a secret conversation with the prince after defeating the escorts like yesterday.

On the surface, it’s a love story, and writing on paper is a part of divination, disguised as it is.

“Then I’d like to know the compatibility.”

[Do you really know about assassins?]

“Okay. Then first, write down the number you want on a piece of paper.”

[Name, affiliation, background.]

“Can it be any number?”

[Did you figure it out as a point?]

“Any number between 1 and 10 is fine.”

[of course.]

On the surface, it looks good, but on the inside, it’s probably a little shaky.

The prince must have investigated my background for a day and found out that I had nothing to do with the imperial family or any strange group.

You must be aware of my dragon(?) divination, and you will think about whether you should believe this or not.

Originally, of course, I wouldn’t have done something like identifying an assassin with a dot.

‘Now the princess is my junior.’

Princess Kim Eun-ha trusted me and entrusted me, so I’m worried.

No matter how busy the imperial family is, they’re brother and sister, so they’ll see each other at least once a day. At that time, the princess must have told me to trust me.

‘Actually, if I handed over the password at that time, I wouldn’t have to go through with me like this.’

Unfortunately, that’s not possible. When the prince and the princess meet, how many people are there to watch it? It is safer to have someone else do it than to risk that the password will be found out if you tell it at that time.

In fact, judging from the strange reaction of the princess to the password of ‘the prince’s escort’, the prince’s response was correct.

“Then… let’s do this.”

[Then the question you asked me was a bluff.]

“Oh, that’s a good number. The other person seems to have a good opinion of the prince.”

[you’re right. It was to get the prince’s attention.]

“Really? I feel relieved.”

[It really stinks to ask who the assassin is when you know him.]

The prince smiled softly and nodded his head. If you look at him like this, he seems to be relieved by his relationship, but if you look at his written conversation, he calmly grasps the situation.

He did not let go of the pen even as he continued to act.

“It’s a good start to say that the compatibility with her is good. How exactly is the compatibility good?”

[Then can I hear who the assassin is?]

“It’s everything.”

“……what?”

But I put down my pen.

Because I didn’t have to write more.

“What do you mean?”

“entire.”

“……!”

“Everything, I said.”

The assassins who wanted to assassinate the princess were 6 people who served as the prince’s aides and escorts.

all of them
