chapter 37
37 – 8. This fortune teller does it for free
They say that with great power comes great responsibility.
It was a word I had seen in a cartoon before, but it was quite impressive.
At that time, I thought it was just a quote that made my heart cry.
widely.
“Please explain, Namgoong Min.”
“…….”
Eileen hugging me, and Liu Yan glaring at each other with that Eileen.
The student newspaper, with the photo on it, was thrown onto the table.
I have received great power from Eileen and Liu, and I have to take responsibility for it… …
‘Patience.’
After all, I should have taken a picture somehow.
The eyes of Instructor Charles Teddy Bear sitting across from him are so stinging that he is on the verge of piercing a person… !
“I can tell you everything, Instructor.”
“Really? Then take a look at the title.”
… title?
Let’s see, [A fight for love in the middle of the academy in broad daylight… … Who is the fortune teller’s choice?]
‘f*ck, what kind of bastard is this.’
What kind of trashy bastard wrote this kind of delusion?
Just try taking it.
“Can you explain this title… can you?”
gg gg gg —-
What. Is there a sense of intimidation around the teddy bear instructor? Can you see that?
Is that the spirit? Wasn’t this game a modern fantasy? Is there such a thing as martial arts?
Anyway, I’m really innocent, so there’s no need to worry… … that’s it
“I can explain everything, so please calm down.”
“……Huh.”
All the aura around Instructor Charles disappears.
Charles teddy bear sighed at my answer without hesitation and took a sip of black tea.
“For now, this newspaper will never go out.”
“Are you blocking it?”
“It’s against the school rules to publish a newspaper with unauthorized photos in the first place. Even the newspaper department gave up quickly.”
Okay, newspaper department.
You assholes I remembered.
“I heard the story from the saint.”
“……Are you talking about Eileen-san?”
“Yeah…hahahaha, I couldn’t imagine that it would be that reason…”
How did she know that the pain that had plagued her daughter since childhood was actually not a disease but a job called <Saint>.
His sighs contained all the remorse and sighs he had suffered so far.
“At first, I resented the saint, but after hearing what he said, I understood.”
“It would be better not to reveal <Saint>.”
“Of course I should. I don’t want to send her to church’s strife, even if she wants to.”
All Charles teddy bear wants is for Eileen teddy bear to live freely and happily.
It was half my life dedicated to that, and it was the days I ran only for that.
He had a complicated and relieved expression on his face.
“The Holy Son said. Eileen should find her own ‘God’.”
“……god.”
“They say it’s a chronic disease of professions called saints and saints. You have to find your own god and rely on that existence so that the pain will disappear and you can live on your own…”
This… … I didn’t know either.
When Aileen was randomly intertwined with the <Saint> every episode, I knew that she was a <Saint>, but why it was causing Eileen pain and how to solve it later was outside the game.
‘Find God, rely on him.’
Maybe that’s why the saint is a fanatic who only seeks God.
A saint like a saint or a saint may have to find God because it is a job that can be established only when ‘God’ exists fundamentally.
This could be called Eileen’s ‘character event’.
‘Of course I have to take responsibility.’
I didn’t just watch the ending, I decided to watch the perfect ending.
A happy ending where all the characters’ events are resolved and no one has an unhappy ending.
Aileen needs to find her own God so that she can become healthy and whole again, so it would be natural for her to help.
“I’ll help too.”
“…I only owe you. Same thing from last time…And I heard that you persuaded the saint.”
Oh, is that what the saint said?
Is it persuasion, if I have to ask? Originally, the saint wanted to let people know that Eileen was a saint, so I feel like I only got a spoon.
“Eileen, I like you a lot.”
“……That, I can explain that picture.”
“No no. I lost my temper the moment I saw that, but… that’s my daughter’s choice.”
“A choice?”
“hahahaha! No, I’m sure he’ll talk about it himself. It seems he’s feeling quite grateful to you.”
thank you
But I’ve never even talked to Eileen lying on the bed.
I went into the room, but I only saw them sleeping, and I didn’t know them… …
Oh right.
“Instructor Charles? Come to think of it, Eileen’s body shape…why did it become like that?”
“Body type? Oh, I’ve grown a little.”
“Not a little at all.”
The Eileen I remember was a girl similar to Liu, tall and short in many parts.
Now, she has become a glamorous beauty. Personally, I like it because it’s my taste, but no matter how you look at it, it’s a strange growth.
“Well. According to the saint, it will be in ‘optimal condition’.”
“Optimum… condition?”
“Whatever they say, I heard that they become suitable for their own god. The saint seems to like it. Seeing that Eileen has already changed so much, they said that her god is not far away.”
be in optimal condition So that’s her God’s taste?
Isn’t this a complete pervert? Making Eileen such a beauty? I should say thank you when I see you later.
“How did you get into the academy?”
“…It was my own will. Fortunately, the Holy Son and the Vice Principal cooperated, so it was handled well.”
“You have to hide the <saint>, so what kind of job are you disguised as?”
“It’s a <fighting song>. Maybe he inherited my qualities, but he’s well versed in fighting. He handles the mace wonderfully.”
Oh yeah. It was an amazing retreat.
Rather, why withdraw? Aren’t there many other good weapons?
… … Well, just like <Saint> did, <Saint> will crush most <fighters>, so it won’t be difficult to disguise your occupation.
It seems to have worked out well in the end.
“……But, there is one concern.”
“Are you worried?”
“Yes. It’s a trivial matter, but…”
Charles Teddy Bear started pouring another cup of tea with a puzzled look on his face.
“Eileen seems to have changed a bit…”
“Is it different?”
“Originally, Eileen liked the saint quite a lot. It was the same when I first met the saint and was examined, and I heard that the saint talked well with Aileen whenever he treated Eileen without even knowing me.”
“You mean not now?”
“No way. They sent all sorts of glances and made the saint shrink. He seemed to hate it.”
hate it
Is there a reason Eileen hates the saint? From what Instructor Charles says, it doesn’t seem to be there.
To be honest, neither Saint nor Eileen are characters I know very little about in the game, so I don’t know either.
“Isn’t that just a personal dislike?”
“You can see that, but other than that, I think my personality has changed a bit.”
He calls everyone other than him a non-believer, his personality has become somewhat toxic and active, and he prays to somewhere every day, even though he doesn’t believe in God.
The changes in Eileen that Charles Teddy Bear said… … It was definitely something embarrassing to just pass by.
“Isn’t it because of the <Saintess>?”
“I’ve asked the Holy Son, but I’ve heard that this hasn’t happened in his case. And the strangest thing is…”
“…?”
“Sometimes, though, my daughter’s personality gets a little quieter.”
If I have to count the time, it’s less than 30 minutes a day, but Aileen, who used to be active, suddenly becomes passive and quiet.
It’s strange, but aren’t there times when people who were originally noisy suddenly become quiet? When I think about it, I don’t think it’s too much of a concern.
“At that time, people around me didn’t even call me a non-believer. It’s a strange thing.”
“……It may be rude, but.”
“I know what you’re trying to say. I also thought of things like curses and possession just in case, but even though my personality may change a bit, the memories and things are the same.”
“Is that so.”
“Above all… I know for sure. Eileen is my lovely daughter.”
If so, that’s good.
In some character events, there are stories about family members being cursed so that the original personality disappears and someone else’s personality is added.
There, the other family members were portrayed in a way that made them feel out of place, so it wouldn’t be a problem if Charles Teddy Bear was so sure.
“After hearing everything, it’s a bit strange. I’m supposed to meet Eileen again tomorrow, so let’s talk about it.”
“Tomorrow? Oh, I heard you asked Eileen for something.”
“Yes. Even Instructor Charles must know that I received a penalty from the academy.”
“……I heard that.”
At that time, most of the academy instructors were gathered in the meeting hall, but I remember that there was no figure of Charles Teddy Bear.
Maybe it was because of Aileen that he took time off and took care of her at home.
I told Charles Teddy Bear, whose face hardened as if he hadn’t heard the details, what I had said at the meeting, the characteristics of my divination (?) and the things I decided to open a fortune teller instead of a penalty.
“——That’s how it happened.”
“I see. I was thinking of making a formal protest to the academy right away, but I solved it wisely and well… You’re such a great fortune teller.”
“It’s too much praise.”
“Hmm, but what’s the relationship between that fortune teller and Eileen?”
“It’s a guest.”
“hmm?”
If you’re just going to do fortune-telling, there’s no reason to ask for help from Liu and Eileen.
Because there were several conditions the vice-principal said.
“I heard that Eileen has many friends.”
“Ah, um. Yes. I think it’s fortunate that they look good together.”
“They’re friends after a long time, shouldn’t we make good use of them?”
“…?”

“……is it here?”
Manderick, a freshman in the <Martial Arts> class, murmured.
Romance Academy A small building located in a remote location.
From the outside, it’s just a place that’s managed without an owner, but… … I saw a sign in the depths of the first floor of the building, as if I had come to the right place.
“[My own little fortune teller], that’s right. I’m sure it’s the place I heard from Eileen.”
gulp.
In front of a rather antique-looking wooden door, Manderik, who inadvertently swallowed saliva, took a deep breath and grabbed the handle.
Eileen was a teddy bear who always called him and other classmates a non-believer, but as Instructor Charles’ daughter, she was kind and considerate… … More than anything, she was so pretty and had big breasts, so it was natural for her to be the center of the class.
It’s hard to say for yourself, but compared to other places, they were <fighters>, so they were a bit simplistic.
Anyway, this is the fortune teller that she strongly recommended as she leads the <Martial Artist> class with skills as outstanding as her deadly body.
If it’s here, I’m sure he’ll be able to solve his troubles–
profit.
A sound that seems as old as an antique door echoes through the building.
“—Ah.”
My first impression was that it was dark.
It was obviously a modern building, but it felt like it was a different space just beyond the door.
The red table that looks luxurious just by looking at it from the front.
On the way there, you will see several cards, a bottle with an unknown liquid, a strange painting, and an unknown piece.
The candles, which are insufficient to illuminate the entire room, sway and create a small light and a dark space.
and beyond.
A person sitting at a red table, who finally caught my eye.
“welcome.”
He wore clean white gloves on both hands and wore a black suit with a red shirt.
A slightly worn-out necklace hangs around her neck, and she gently shuffles and organizes the various tarot cards arranged on the table.
The face I had already seen at the entrance ceremony, welcoming Manderson with a confident smile.
“……fortune-teller.”
The only <Fortune Teller> in Romance Academy.
At least as far as Manderick knows, the <Fortune Teller> is superior to anyone else.
“What are you worried about?”
<Fortune Teller> Namgoong Min.
One of the top celebrities at the academy wore his signature smile.
