I Became a Fortune Teller in the Game My Little Sister Made – Chapter 66

What could this sound be?

Rain Arthur couldn’t understand the current situation.

No, she didn’t want to understand.

‘It should be a joyful day.’

The day she lost her superpower to a Skill Thief and got it back.

Since the day Namgoong Min realized that he was her other half, Rain’s days became full of happiness.

Just thinking about her other half brought joy, just the thought of her other half made her happy, and the thought of her other half made her heart ache, and just thinking about her other half brought a smile to her face…

Therefore, today’s tea party should also be a delightful time.

Although there were bugs named the Crown Princess and Liu, it should still be a happy moment she could endure.

──Let’s go on a date, Liu.

However, Namgoong Min couldn’t accept the words his other half had spoken.

“Rain? Crown Princess!? Are you alright?”

“Ah… yes. Of course, yes. Yes, I’m fine.”

“That’s a relief.”

“……….”

Without a word, she used telekinesis to lift the broken teacup.

But before Rain could gather the shards of the teacup, Namgoong Min snapped his fingers.

<Cleanliness>.

One of the general skills Namgoong Min possessed.

Thanks to that power, the broken teacup in this fortune teller’s shop became ‘cleanly’ restored.

Clink.

The teacup returned to its original form and was gently placed back on the table.

“Anyway, I’m glad you didn’t get hurt.”

“Hey, hey, hey. You lucky fortune teller!”

“Liu? What’s wrong with you….”

“What do you mean what’s wrong! Do you, do you, do you know what you just said to me?!”

“Well, I did ask to go on a date.”

“Exactly!!!”

‘…So infuriating.’

It was certainly not something she said to her other half.

It was disdain aimed at the rich tycoon who pretended to be shy despite having heard it clearly.

‘Repulsive girl.’

From the start, Rain never liked Liu. It was like water and oil, or dogs and cats, it wasn’t an exaggeration.

But now that she realized that Namgoong Min and Liu complemented and watched over each other like a perfect pair, her hatred for Liu surpassed all limits.

She wanted to shout that he should stay away from her right now…

“I just told you, to have better dating fortunes, I need to gain some experience.”

“…If you come up with excuses like that, who would want to date you?”

“Liu would.”

“………Your reasoning makes this unfair.”

Ah, that damn woman.

If only she could just lose her powers to the Skill Thief and get kicked out as a penniless person.

Then I might be able to use her as a housemaid in the mansion where my other half and I live.

Turning her head away from Namgoong Min to hide her flushed face was so disgusting it made her want to vomit.

But, it couldn’t be helped.

‘Since it’s Namgoong Min’s choice…….’

If he chose this Rain Arthur, she would have been more passionate and proactive than anyone.

But Namgoong Min was her other half and a strong person.

‘I will bear it.’

Yeah, after all, the future ahead was just living together after graduation.

Before that, pushing Father down and taking over the family could be said to be her support, right?

She would properly throw the head of the family to her brother, and I would live happily in the cage with my other half.

Thinking of that romantic future plan brought a shy smile to her face.

However, such thoughts were unpleasant in reality.

“Ugh, it can’t be helped! If there’s no one else, I have to help!”

“Thank you, Liu. Then right now….”

“Hey, hey!! What crazy person would go on a date this evening! We have to meet from tomorrow morning!”

“Ah… I’m sorry. I’m a newbie in dating.”

“………Huh? Hey, then is this your first date?”

“Yes.”

Snap.

First date?

That precious opportunity was taken by that bug!

‘I could do much better than that girl…!’

Jealousy.

Intense jealousy was overflowing within Rain.

Yet, demonstrating superhuman patience, she refrained from slapping Liu with the chair she was sitting on and glanced sideways.

“………A date.”

‘The Crown Princess seems a bit dangerous too.’

Although Namgoong Min and Crown Princess Kim Eun-ha are close, there was no sense of a romantic relationship at all.

But you never know. There might be something hidden between them like Rain and Namgoong Min.

‘Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a reason to break the teacup.’

But Rain wasn’t wary of the Crown Princess as much as she was of Liu.

Just looking at her, it seemed that the Crown Princess’s feelings for Namgoong Min were still ambiguous.

‘Not much different from me.’

Rain became aware of her feelings.

This overflowing emotion deep within her heart, wanting to see the other person, wanting to think of them, wanting to claim them as her own, unwilling to share, and wanting to monopolize them.

This was what love was.

She was sure it was a pure girl’s first love.

‘I am an easy woman.’

Who would have thought she would feel love for Namgoong Min, who was so burdensome and suspicious?

Rain inwardly laughed at herself.

But still, she had no regrets.

No matter how easy her heart was, what pain she had endured in the past, or how hard things had been until now.

‘I’m happy.’

Just being with her other half in this moment brought her happiness.

Now that she had tasted this happiness, she could never go back to the past.

“Then let’s meet tomorrow at 10 a.m.”

“Y-Yes! Come to the north airport!!”

“Airport…? Yes.”

So, Rain squinted her eyes.

Looking at Namgoong Min, who tilted his head, and at Liu, who was still turned away with a flushed face.

[Prepare the car for me by tomorrow at 10 a.m.]

…She secretly sent the email.

Of course, she had no intention of sending them off alone.

*

“I’m glad it went well.”

The next day, at 9:30 a.m.

Thanks to the alarm set yesterday, she safely woke up and donned a decent suit.

Thanks to <Cleanliness>, she could always be clean without needing to shower or wash her hair, so her preparations ended in the blink of an eye.

‘…But can’t I wear different clothes?’

The first semester was almost ending, and having worn a red shirt and black suit for nearly two months was causing a cognitive dissonance.

No matter how <Cleanliness> was, wouldn’t other students think it’s a bit odd?

‘Let’s buy some clothes this time.’

When she was younger, living expenses were tight, so she hardly spent money on clothes, but now with over three billion in her account, clothes seemed like nothing.

If it’s Liu, she probably goes shopping for artifacts often, so she would know better about fashion than Rain.

After checking the time appropriately, she stepped outside to wait for the bus.

‘Date….’

A date. How burdensome a word it was.

Other than Namgoong Jisoo, her younger sister, there were hardly any opposite genders she had properly conversed with.

When she was doing fortune-telling stuff in school, she often talked, but there was no personal conversation at all.

She had certainly spoken well with several female students so far, but those conversations would be vastly different from romantic ones.

‘This dating fortune must be solid.’

It was a date for him.

By excluding the stories of the Crown Prince and Lucas and consulting with female students she knew, it came out quite smoothly.

I added that dating fortune is a bit clumsy… having dating experience can lead to better fortune-telling… and so on, but perhaps because of the mood, everyone seemed unconcerned.

‘Of course, involving the Crown Princess in a date is impossible… Rain seems a bit intimidating these days.’

Not wanting to be dragged to the Royal Palace, she excluded the Crown Princess, and since the event with the Skill Thief, something about Rain… something felt off.

Was it a bit sticky?

Since she didn’t just fold after regaining her superpower, it seemed she was forgiving of acting strong.

Still, it was just scary…

So, the only option left was Liu. Among them, she was the most comfortable to be with.

‘…By the way, I haven’t seen Eileen.’

After the Skill Thief event two days ago, Eileen didn’t show up until the tea party yesterday.

She had been coming to the fortune teller’s shop every day until now, so it felt a bit empty without her.

But well, she must have had her personal circumstances. It was strange for her to come every day anyway.

‘Let’s meet next time.’

As she continued her thoughts, she found herself arriving at the northern airport bus stop.

Hastily getting off the bus, the huge airport came into view.

‘…So, do people usually go on dates at the airport?’

Well, I should have known after trying.

Looking around absently while checking the time, it was already close to the promised 10 a.m.

Liu wasn’t someone who wouldn’t keep track of time, but where could she be—

“Excuse me, are you Namgoong Min?”

“………? Yes, that’s me.”

“I’ve been waiting. I will take you right away.”

“……?”

Huh?

Suddenly, a well-groomed middle-aged man with a mustache approached me in a suit and guided me somewhere.

Passing through places bustling with regular people and climbing higher and higher, they finally reached the top floor filled with luxurious decorations.

By the time they arrived up there, there were very few people left, and each of them was adorned with luxury and jewelry as if to declare “I’m rich!”

After passing even those wealthy individuals, the middle-aged man stopped in front of an opulent door located in the furthest back.

“This is it. Have a good time.”

“Ah… yes.”

Seeing him bow politely, she finally noticed the name tag attached to his chest.

[Wujianhao, President of China Airlines.]

“……You’re the airport director?”

“That’s correct.”

“Could it be that you are waiting inside….”

“He is our VVVIP and a major shareholder. I will open the door for you.”

“Ah, okay…….”

No matter how much oil had been applied, the door opened without a sound.

Opening the lavishly decorated door revealed a spacious area.

The floor and ceiling were all marble. One whole wall was made of glass, and on the high ceiling, there were five luxurious chandeliers and expensive decorations and furniture scattered throughout.

And a soft, fluffy carpet covered the floor.

Sitting on a chair made of gold and jewels while swinging a wine glass was a girl.

“Y-you, fortune teller.”

“……Liu.”

Of course, it was Liu Yan.

“Sit.”

“……Are you alone here?”

“This entire place is my personal room. Make yourself comfortable.”

…No, this was way bigger than combining several ordinary classrooms!

No matter how narrow the top floor was, it was almost half this room!

Nervously sitting in the expensive chair opposite Liu, Rain marveled at how plush it was.

‘Wow, this is so plush.’

What on earth is this made of? Why is this chair so soft and fluffy?

As she stumbled around in a chair more comfortable than a bed, Liu, who smiled while placing her glass down, asked,

“What do you think?”

“Uh? About this room?”

“No, no. The director who brought you here.”

“That… Mr. Wujianhao, right?”

“That’s right. Quite a useful pawn.”

Step.

Liu stood up from her chair and casually walked around, brushing her fingers against various decorations.

Numerous jewels and gold, and fine silver glimmered in the light of the chandelier.

“I like the money dead.”

“Why?”

“There’s no need to doubt. If they throw enough money, they would even sell their parents or children. Wujianhao is the same.”

“……Is that so.”

“He swore loyalty to me to become the president of this airline. I own 60% of the stocks here. With just a word from me, the president or CEO can be changed, you know.”

“Oh.”

“……React properly. Anyway, with so many pawns who voluntarily became slaves, I can live like this comfortably. Well, there are some who boldly aim for my back, but I don’t mind.”

“Is that so? I thought you would… suspect me like you did with me.”

“Ha, you little brat. I only doubt those who could pose a threat to me. Wasting time suspecting those who lack the ability is pointless.”

Beep. Beep.

As Liu said that with a laugh, she took out her phone and pressed a few buttons.

Right after that, the door of the room slowly opened.

“Lady Liu, did you call for me?”

“What’s the status of those who betrayed me yesterday?”

“Zenkiu Corporation’s Ray Shawn, Taeyang Wool Cloth’s Jeong Nam-gil, and Weihua Pharmaceutical’s Zhang Wei have all been silenced. I cooperated with the local police, so there shouldn’t be any worries about it getting out.”

“Neatly done. Give the person who reported those guys a fair ten million yuan.”

“As you command.”

“Now you can leave.”

With that, the courteous airline president exited the room, and Liu picked up the phone again.

Then, her phone rang.

[Lady Liu, what can I do for you?]

“Report on Wujianhao from China Airlines.”

[Wujianhao has embezzled 23 million yuan 12 days ago and has taken a new wife six days ago. It seems the former wife was assassinated due to an affair.]

“Seems? Is that just speculation?”

[I’m sorry. I’ll investigate the exact reasons!]

“Report back by today. And also include the reason for assassinating the former wife.”

[Understood!]

“Alright.”

Even after hanging up, Liu proceeded to call and let several others into the room.

It wasn’t hard to realize that all of them were keeping tabs and monitoring each other.

Someone was watching the airline president, someone else was observing that person, and that person was being tracked by yet another individual.

They were all intertwined in mutual surveillance.

If someone showed signs of betrayal against Liu, they wouldn’t escape being discovered.

“What do you think?”

“……Very impressive.”

“Except for my direct subordinates like Wang Fei, everyone else is like this. Even my direct subordinates are under surveillance among themselves. They’ll have to catch my eye before I notice.”

Saying that with a laugh, Liu looked at me.

As if to ask how I felt.

“What do you think? I’m this kind of girl. Even at this moment, someone might be keeping an eye on you?”

“I don’t care.”

“Right, of course it would be… what?”

“Liu, whether you send someone to watch me, track me, or investigate me, it doesn’t matter.”

“……Why?”

“? Because we’re friends. Oh, not yet, huh…”

If it was about investigation, she had already experienced it with several people.

Besides, I had long since prepared for wiretaps and surveillance once I got involved with all these people.

It was only natural for a commoner to approach the upper echelons of society at the peak of the pyramid.

As I shrugged my shoulders in response, Liu stared at me for a moment with a dazed look before breaking into a gentle smile.

“……I see, you’re that kind of person. Therefore, I—”

“Me?”

“Ah, no! Let’s go on a date soon!”

“Fine by me. But why at the airport….”

“Huh? If you’ve come to the airport, isn’t it obvious?”

“Excuse me?”

“Let’s go.”

Leading confidently, Liu opened the door, revealing a red carpet path lined with numerous stewardesses and staff who bowed and greeted us.

“”””Lady Liu, have a good trip!””””

“Thanks.”

“………Huh.”

“What are you doing?”

By the time we descended down to the first floor aboard the heavily gold-painted elevator—

Vroooom──!!

“Get in.”

“This… Could it be….”

“This is my private jet number 12. Originally, number 11 is better, but it’s under maintenance right now….”

“Wow.”

A luxurious red-painted private jet that suited Liu’s taste was waiting for us.

The red carpet laid up to the entrance of the jet, where the captain and co-pilot as well as the private stewardesses greeted us politely…

……Is this a date?

*

“Finally taking off.”

“Lady Rain, what should I do?”

“Chase that plane.”

“Yes!”

From the eastern airport, strong in the Arthur family’s influence, the Arthur family’s private plane lifted off.

“Chase that!”

“Understood!”

At the dazzling emperor-owned airport in the floating city, the luxurious crown princess’s private jet took off.

It was an ordinary chase amongst three girls.
