Chapter 40: Enjoying the Festival with Yona (3)

We walked around and looked around. Nevertheless, there was still a lot of time left.

The festival isn’t just for today, but today is the day you can do the most, so I wanted to do as much as possible.

“Sister, what’s that?”

“Where? Are you talking about that?”

“Yes.”

Yona asked while holding my hand and walking.

The place where her finger pointed was a red tent.

[Astrologer’s Tarot House]

• Love luck, future luck, wealth luck, etc.

“That’s where you see the future with cards. To be precise, it’s like saying that something good will happen in the future, or something bad will happen.”

“They can see the future? Wow. Even my dad said he couldn’t see the future.”

“There’s no guarantee that it’s correct. It’s just for fun. Shall we go in?”

“Yes!”

Yona excitedly led me inside.

Flutter.

When I went inside, there was a mysterious smell.

How should I put it.

If I had to compare, it was similar to the smell of incense used during ancestral rites.

“Welcome. Did you come to see your fortune?”

“Yes.”

“Sit in the front. There are two of you, right?”

“Yes. Two people.”

An old woman with white hair and wrinkled wrinkles greeted us. It felt more trustworthy than a young person doing it.

“Sit down.”

Since the chair was high, I lifted Yona and sat her down. When I sat next to her and waited, the old woman held out her hand.

“Money.”

“Yes?”

“It’s a prepayment.”

“Ah, yes. Here you go.”

The old woman who counted the coins soon put the tarot cards on the table. She spread the cards on the red carpet.

“Wow.”

“What kind of fortune do you want to see?”

“Hmm. Future luck.”

“Choose three cards, you should choose carefully. It’s the moment when the future is decided.”

I was going to go first, but I saw Yona’s restless appearance.

“Do you want to go first?”

“Can I?”

“Of course. Of course.”

Yona thought for a moment and nodded.

Then she carefully selected the cards.

So the three cards that were chosen.

The first is a pocket watch hanging on a person’s wrist. The important thing is that the overall picture is reversed.

The second is people worshiping the radiant sun. Unlike the first, it is in the right direction.

The third is a man climbing up a rope. This is also in the right direction.

“How did it come out?”

The old woman looked at the cards with a serious look for a moment, then raised her head and watched us both.

“The name of this card is originally the clock of fate. But it’s upside down. In other words, fate is twisted. It means that you will live a different life, not the original fate, due to an unknown variable.”

Yona asked.

“Is it good?”

“I don’t know that. I don’t know what the fixed fate is, or what the changed fate is.”

The old woman held out the second card.

“The name of this card is the new sun. It means that something new that will appear becomes the purpose of life. It’s probably precious.”

The old woman held out the third card.

“Finally, the name of this card is consistent effort. The rope goes up, right? It means that you will have to work hard to achieve your goal.”

The old woman mixed the cards and said.

“Overall, it means that your fate is twisted by someone, you will find a new goal, and you will work hard like crazy. Is this enough?”

Normally, I would have reacted by saying, what is this?

Naturally, the result after working hard was not guaranteed.

But I couldn’t say anything else.

In the first card that Yona picked, I saw the old woman’s divine power.

‘I don’t know about the second and third cards, but the first card is talking about curing the disease.’

According to the original work, Yona should have died by now due to Priest. But because I intervened, I no longer have to worry about Priest.

The twist of fate at this time would mean this.

“Yona. How was it?”

“I liked it. You try it too, sister.”

I was curious.

This original work itself is a fantasy, so it may have divine power.

In other words, it is different from the scammers on Earth.

Srrrk.

“You can pick three this time too.”

After thinking about it, I picked three that I liked the most.

The first card depicts lightning falling from the sky.

The second card is a black coffin being buried in the ground.

The third card is just painted black.

It doesn’t look good at first glance.

The old woman’s expression is not very good either.

“It’s a typical accidental death fortune. This lightning card means that something unexpected happens. Whether it’s good or bad is determined by the second card. But….”

“It’s a coffin.”

“That’s right. It means that you can’t avoid death due to the previous accident and you are buried in a coffin.”

I asked about the third card.

“There is no big meaning. Complete annihilation. It is usually used when an object is broken, but when a person’s life is at stake, it is used to mean just annihilation.”

I feel bad.

Even if I drew it for fun, it’s natural to feel bad that I’m going to die.

Moreover, the opponent is a person who is judged to have divine power.

Since such a person drew it, it was not only unpleasant, but also anxious.

“Thank you. Goodbye.”

I took Yona and came out. But Yona’s expression was not good.

“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”

“No. It’s not that. That… are you going to die, sister?”

“Huh? Ah. No. There’s no way. I told you. It’s just for fun. How can a person see the future.”

“But I… well. That’s right.”

I was very anxious, but I can’t worry Yona. After stabilizing her by doing this and that, I walked around.

‘Should I prepare something?’

Anyway, after the festival is over, I should get defense artifacts first.

I tried to forget the result and held Yona’s hand.

The sun is setting.

There is not much time left to enjoy the festival.

“Where do you want to go?”

“Hmm. They said there will be fireworks tonight. Let’s secure a place in advance.”

“That’s a good idea. A lot of people will gather. Where would be good?”

If possible, a wide place like the rooftop of a building is good. But I don’t know the geography nearby.

“Can we see it from our house?”

The only place that is wide open and has a good view of the sky that I could think of was my house.

Did she hear my muttering, Yona grabbed my hand and led me.

“Then let’s go. To your house, sister.”

“Let’s do that. Then.”

So we all headed to my house together.

Grrr. Rrr.

“I’m back.”

After greeting the teddy bear, I headed to the second-floor terrace.

Since the Barony itself is quite large, the sky could be seen clearly.

It was a little chilly outside, so I brought out pillows and blankets.

I sat on the wide spread mat.

I looked around and worried about whether the fireworks would be visible.

After a while.

Fireworks signaling the start of the fireworks display came up.

Pyuyung.

With that signal, the fireworks display began.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

“Sister! I can see it well!”

“Phew. That’s a relief.”

I sat still and stared blankly at the fireworks display.

It was pretty.

The colorful fireworks embroidering the sky.

I turned my head and looked at Yona.

She looks up at the sky with sparkling eyes.

She looked very cute wearing a flower crown on top of her hat.

I wish I could take a picture. It’s a shame that there is no camera.

“Sister?”

“Wait a minute.”

I took off her hat and put the flower crown on her head.

“Heh. Sister. Can I hug you?”

“Of course. Here.”

When I opened my arms, she hugged me and leaned on me.

I watched the fireworks display while rubbing Yona’s head.

That evening.

Yona was about to go home, but she changed her mind and went to Emily’s mansion.

Knock knock.

“Who is it… Ah. Miss Yona? Come in.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

After greeting the butler of the mansion, I headed to Emily’s room.

Knock knock.

“Who is it?”

“Sister. It’s me. Yona.”

“Hmm? Yona?”

When Emily opened the door, Yona hugged Emily’s leg.

“What’s going on at this late hour? As I said before, I can’t sleep with you today. Because I have a lot of work.”

“It’s not that, actually, I went to see tarot with sister Rachel today.”

“Tarot? Oh. You went to the festival today.”

Emily picked up Yona and took her to the bed. Sitting on the bed, Yona talked about what happened today.

“So that astrologer said that Rachel would have an accident soon?”

“Yes. But it didn’t seem like it was just luck. She matched my fortune.”

Emily made a serious expression.

“Accident… I see. I’ll take care of it. By the way, what did you get?”

“Hehe. Secret!”

“Secret? You must have had fun today.”

“Yes! It was fun.”

Emily smiled bitterly.

She is just frustrated by this situation where she wants to play too, but can’t.

At that time, when she stroked Yona’s head, she saw the flower crown.

“This flower crown is pretty. Did you buy it?”

“No. Sister Rachel made it for me. How is it? She made it well, right!”

“Rachel made it herself? Haha. Y, yeah. It’s pretty.”

Emily sighed, feeling anger at the elders who were the main culprits of increasing her work these days.
