My Daughters Have Regressed

207 – Naru #3

207 – Naru #3

All the fortune tellers are weirdos.

I’ve never seen anyone who wasn’t that.

He either liked collecting strange things or always had a strange eccentricity.

Casablanca, the fortune teller on this ‘World Cruise Group’, seemed to be like that too.

From the outside of the tent, the skulls of all kinds of animals were decorated like hunting trophies, and unidentifiable totems and magical accessories gave off an eerie power.

I feel overwhelmed in many ways.

It was also surprising that so many women were standing in line.

There were no couples unexpectedly.

“Don’t couples usually go to see things like love fortunes?”

I’ve never tried it, but I’ve heard that when couples are bored, they go for fortune-telling with tarot cards or for love fortune-telling.

Are you saying that fortune tellers who receive a lot of money tell plausible stories?

When a strong-willed woman and a weak-looking man meet as guests, the fortune tellers say, “You must listen to the woman carefully!” And the woman who hears this says, “Oppa! Did you hear? Listen to me!” And startle the man.

That was the story of a love story I heard from a friend in college.

However, among the people lined up in front of this tent in Casablanca, there were only three couples, including us. The remaining 30 people are all women.

When I wondered what had happened, Brigitte told me in a low voice.

“Couples enter together and if the fortune teller says, ‘You can’t marry this man. Say, ‘Your mate hasn’t been born yet.’ Won’t things get weird between couples?”

“Is that so?”

There was definitely a chance of something like that happening.

Of course, couples who are hot enough to come to a place like this on their days off say, “Hmph, you stupid pseudo-fortune teller!” “We are a match made in heaven, and we are going to get married!” He said, swearing and running out of the tent.

However, when couples live together, there will be times when they fight and when their affection falls apart, and whenever that happens, both the woman and the man say, “The fortuneteller said at that time that we would never get married…” ” ” It was clear that he would say “.”

And if they eventually break up, they will say things like, “Look, we were destined not to get married.”

If you succeed in getting married, whether by good luck or bad luck, whenever you experience unhappiness and conflict during your married life, you will think things like, “I wasn’t meant to get married, but am I being punished by forcing myself to get married?”

Therefore, it didn’t seem like a good idea for couples to come and tell their fortunes about marriage.

I understand why there are so many women.

As I was thinking about that pointlessly, it was now our turn.

The time given to us is 10 minutes.

It only takes 10 minutes to get a fortune telling, even though it costs a whopping 200,000 Ren.

The fortune teller looked at the old woman in front of him, wondering how much money he could make.

She was an old woman wearing purple robes decorated with all kinds of jewels.

Her back was bent and her teeth were sparse.

Her hands were wrinkled and looked like old trees, and the large jewels embedded in them made her look very extravagant.

However, it was clear that overall she gave off a mysterious and strange aura.

It felt like she really looked like a ‘fortune teller’.

“We are lovers.”

The old man smiled and asked.

As Brigitte and I sat down in her chair, the fortune teller laid out suspicious cards in front of her and told us to pick them out one by one.

“You have to pick only one card at a time.”

Is it a card?

If I were to explain how the card unfolded, it would be like this.

Mmmm

Mmmm

Mmmm

Among the cards laid out like this, the one I chose was the one in the bottom left corner.

I just liked that card.

I turned it over and saw her cart wheel and a skeleton holding a scythe. Does it look like a reaper? It was a card made with great care put into the drawing.

“This is the card of ‘death.’ Now, young lady, pick one.”

“Where…” .”

Brigitte picked the top right card with her hand. I turned it over and saw a woman wearing a crown, holding her staff among the sheep.

“This is the ‘Queen’ card. Their love luck is not very good. Mathematically speaking, the probability of getting married is less than 1 percent. “It’s lower than the probability of a meteorite falling in Frisia today.”

I see.

He was a pseudo fortune teller.

But, well, how can it be considered accurate?

What is the probability that I, a 21st century Earthling, and Brigitte, a wizard from the continent of Pangea, will meet and get married?

How many light years are there between these two planets?

Then Brigitte asked.

“Then who will be my husband?”

“Let me see, I want to see your palm.”

Zek-.

Brigitte held out her palm, and the old woman looked at it carefully. If you look at her palm, is there anything you can see?

The old woman said after looking for a while.

“Childhood may have been quite difficult, but at some point, everything will work out and you will be successful. Your spouse is lucky too. “You will marry the king’s grandson.”

It was an interesting story that Brigitte was marrying the king’s grandson.

So what about my fortune?

“Grandma, please look at my hands too.”

I held out my hand to the old woman.

The old woman clicked her tongue and looked at my palm her her, saying, “It’s almost 10 minutes, tsk.”

Then, he seemed to be looking closely and then blurted out a few words.

“It’s my job to be a guest. “Looking at my palm, I’m destined to die for stealing!”

“Is it. “Then how about this?”

Ssyuk-.

I changed my palm and fingerprints.

The secret secret of the thief was ‘changing fingerprints.’ Because thieves like me who broke through the realm could change their fingerprints and palm prints at will.

However, the old woman seemed very surprised, as if it was her first time seeing this technology.

“This… What on earth is it that makes this possible? “This is no ordinary Barbaroi!”

Zek-.

Instead of answering, I held out the ‘death’ card I had drawn earlier in front of the old woman.

Now all my business here is done.

“How was it?”

I asked.

Then Brigitte burst out laughing.

“They said I was a brave fortune teller, but that was a lie!”

Brigitte seemed to think the fortune teller was a fraud.

The guy who was laughing so hard that tears came out said, wiping his eyes with his fingers.

“Well, if you really don’t know anything, you can be fooled into believing it. It’s natural for wizards to have a hard time studying when they’re young, and it’s also natural for them to thrive as they get older.”

“Really?”

“Also, my clothes are expensive. We also have a lot of shopping bags. It is common for wealthy and skilled wizards to marry nobles or royal families. In the end, what the fortune teller said was something anyone could have said.”

That’s what I heard and saw.

In the end, fortune teller Casablanca was a liar.

But maybe it wasn’t all a lie.

“My grandfather. How did you manage to escape the prosecution’s siege? They say he might really become president now. Then I become the president’s grandson.”

If you are the president’s grandson, isn’t that the same as the king’s grandson in a larger sense?.

In that sense, the fortuneteller’s prediction was not necessarily wrong.

Whiuwoo-.

Then the wind blew.

When I raised my head, it was already evening time with the moon rising.

Because the sun sets early in the fall.

We headed to a nearby inn called “Adventure Garden” To have dinner. It was an inn that adventurers often visited, and it was a very pleasant place that brought back memories of the past.

“I feel the best when I come back to the inn after an adventure and have a meal.”

Brigitte laughed as she ordered her drink and food.

I felt like I knew what it felt like.

Our dinner consisted of two “Gold Adventurer Set,” The inn’s signature menu.

We talked about ourselves when we were adventurers.

Perhaps because she had been drinking, Brigitte’s face was very red and her hands were shaking.

And she kept checking her watch.

8 o’clock.

9 o’clock.

And at 10 o’clock.

Brigitte spoke as the tavern grew louder.

“Isn’t it almost time?”

“Not yet.”

“What now?”

“Not even now.”

“So, now?”

Brigitte looked a little anxious.

Is it because she was drunk?

It was then.

Wajangchang-.

It sounded like her glass was breaking.

A fight broke out in a bar.

“A fight really broke out.”

Clink-!

At that time, I heard a very loud sound.

A beer glass flew from somewhere and splashed on my and Brigitte’s face, and in the end, my and Brigitte’s bodies ended up drenched in cheap beer.

“This is why I really need to change clothes upstairs.”

Brigitte stared at her own body like she was truly amazed. I also laughed, like anyone who has experienced something funny.

I also nodded.

“Come change and come.”

“… Judas, would you like to come with me? Upstairs. You need to change your clothes too. “It’s like a mouse that fell into a beer barrel.”

Brigitte’s face was extremely red as she said that. What about my face? My face her her her also felt hot.

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol I had just drank or because of the pitch-black BamBam strawberries, but my body was so hot that I couldn’t calm down.

Brigitte said.

“Probably, if it were normal, I would have said here, ‘I’m just going to change clothes, so don’t think about anything else.’ “If it were me, I definitely would have done that.”

“I would probably say, ‘Okay. I think he said, ‘I promise.’”

We entered the same room together.

Up to this point, everything was just as written in the diary.

But nothing more was written.

I didn’t know what to do, and Brigitte was the same, so we just turned our backs to each other and changed clothes.

What should I do?

I was also deeply worried.

It was an important moment in many ways.

At that time, Brigitte, who had completely changed her clothes, took something out of her bag.

It was a beautiful lily flower.

It is said to be found in the desert and has abundant vitality, making it effective in treating infertility.

Brigitte was munching on the petals of a lily flower.

It seemed as if he showed great determination, but I suddenly thought of goats and sheep eating flowers and felt like laughing.

However, as I barely held back for the sake of the atmosphere, Brigitte spoke first.

“Does it look like some kind of goat chewing flowers?”

“…”

If you smile even a little here, the mood will not change.

I exercised superhuman patience and made my facial muscles expressionless. Then he spoke to Brigitte.

“Brigitte, you seem quite calm for having entered the room alone with a man. “Isn’t it true that the unicorn was angry earlier?”

“What, that unicorn was fake? You saw it too. “It was just a narwhal horn attached to a horse’s head with glue!”

“I don’t believe it. Prove it.”

Zek-.

I put my hand on Brigitte’s waist.

Then Brigitte, shocked, spoke.

“… “Didn’t we say we would just change clothes for now?”

“I’m the type of person who doesn’t keep promises.”

“Hey… ! Hey… ! Wait a minute, prepare your heart… !”

On this night, Brigitte was no longer able to ride the unicorn.

It was the same for me.

When morning arrived, Brigitte and I woke up in the same bed. Waking up in the same bed was more awkward than I thought.

Maybe I’ll get used to it someday.

“…”

“…”

I was somehow embarrassed and found it difficult to speak.

I think Brigitte felt the same way.

We had a normal breakfast and returned to the mansion.

Salome and Iscariot looked at us, but neither of them said anything.

At that time, Naru, who was watering the garden of the mansion, seemed to have spotted us and waved his hand.

“Mom! Dad!”

When we saw Naru’s bright expression of her, both Brigitte and I were so relieved that we were able to catch her breath.

─The future has not changed.

It felt like a piece of metal weighing heavily on my shoulders and chest had been lifted.

Warak-.

Naru hugged me.

“Dad! Naru, you stayed fine yesterday and didn’t get into trouble!”

Naru’s body temperature was a little higher and warmer than her other children’s, as usual.

Naru always smelled like wild flowers.

She was a very cheerful and kind child.

How could a child like this be born to me?

Zek-.

When Naru fell from me, Naru was crying.

I asked.

“Naru, why are you crying?”

“… Naru, I wanted to say goodbye with a smile! “I’m so happy to be able to meet my mom and her dad, but I’m in tears!”

Naru shouted, shedding tears.

“… Mom and dad! Naru, I’m sorry for causing trouble every day! From now on, I will grow up to be a good person and become an SSR princess, so you must wait for me!”

Naru soon fell into Brigitte’s arms.

“Also Naru, I will study hard… ! I will listen to my mom and her dad, and I will get along well with Cecily and Hina, and I will get along well with Sifno, and I will take care of Anvil Anvil! You must wait… !”

Brigitte also hugged Naru tightly and burst into tears as they rubbed their cheeks.

“… You don’t have to study hard! What if you have an accident? You just have to live healthy. It’s okay if we don’t become SSR princesses, so as long as we can meet again in good health!”

Slurp-.

Naru’s body began to glow.

“Naru, we will definitely see each other again! Please… “

The weight her gradually disappeared from Brigitte’s arms her her her, which had been hugging her. When she came to her senses, Brigitte was just embracing the air.

“I’ll definitely come back again… ” .”

A very small thing disappeared, but its presence was so great that we even forgot to speak.

“…”

I suddenly became curious.

What is life?

… When does a person become a person?

In my opinion, Naru was already Naru.

She was Naru, a daughter, a friend, and a sister.

At least I thought so.
