I Became a Fortune Teller in the Game My Little Sister Made – Chapter 101

Even someone who has never invested can give investment advice, and even a young student can offer life advice.

So is it possible for inexperienced folks to give dating advice too?

“First of all, calling us was a wise yet foolish choice.”

“Why is that?”

“If this goes wrong, it could become a social issue. Having the Crown Prince’s aide, the Crown Prince himself, a fortuneteller close to the warlock, and me—a hero who knows the warlock fairly well—on one team is a good choice. At the very least, no one outside will spill the beans.”

So that’s a good thing, right?

But what’s the foolish choice?

“The problem is that we’re all… inexperienced.”

“………”

“Our goal is to clear up the misunderstanding between the Crown Prince and the warlock regarding dating Lily, but isn’t it ridiculous to have a miracle group where no one has any dating experience?”

“Well… that’s…”

It can’t be helped, right?

You guys are the only boys available to help keep this a secret!

So do you want to drag Hwang Jin-woo or Sasaki Ito into this?

Sure, there are girls to choose from, but I at least want to preserve the pride of the Crown Prince and Lucas…

“………Let’s… at least give it a try.”

“…Hero, you’re more proactive than I thought?”

“………….”

“You can’t pretend to be silent now; it won’t work.”

“Well, Abel’s right. As a Saint, my romantic experience is nonexistent, but ‘Even a blank sheet can be supported by two’.”

“Can I… back out…?”

“I know it’s a daunting position, but since you’re a close aide of the Crown Prince, you really have to be here!”

“………….”

What a truly heart-pounding lineup. The fact that we’re all inexperienced is a drawback, though.

Well, compared to the Crown Prince, the <Saint> and <Hero> don’t bow down much, and with the fortuneteller being a close friend of the Crown Prince, I understand the pressure.

Let’s just hold on with all our might! This is a combination you didn’t choose!

“Um…”

“I have… a thought…”

“Um… do you perhaps enjoy this kind of talk?”

“……………a little…”

“That’s definitely not just a little.”

“Abel might not talk much, but he’s been interested in dating for a long time. But…”

“But?”

“…No, let’s just wait and see.”

“If there aren’t any other opinions…?”

“Well, then let’s go with the Hero’s strategy.”

For some reason, the aide seemed to shrink even more.

…Anyway, since the Hero is interested in dating, won’t he come up with a decent plan?

*

“We’re in trouble.”

“Yeah, we are.”

“………How… could this happen…?”

“Abel, why on earth are you in despair? Did you really think a love letter could solve this?”

“Saint… you agreed to it too…”

“……….”

Leaving the Saint and Hero who were shooting a sitcom aside, this operation clearly went south.

Basically, the outline of the plan was to make a third party, someone who genuinely likes Lily, appear to make the others give up… but would that even work on the Crown Prince and Lucas, who think they’re already dating her?

And it’s not even a face-to-face meeting; it’s a letter!

“What did you write in the letter?”

“……Your love is… fake… If you truly want to make Lily happy…”

“Are you telling them to break up?”

“……Uh…”

“That’s why Lucas ripped the letter as soon as he read it. At least the Crown Prince kept it close…”

That’s… probably because he felt genuinely hurt.

The Crown Prince plans to marry her in a political marriage while dating Lily, so he surely doesn’t think this method is normal either. If he’ll end up hurting Lily anyway, then telling him to break up might resonate.

Of course, you could just brush it off as a thick face, but if he kept it close, it must be bothering him.

By the way, the Hero is completely unaware of the Crown Prince’s political marriage plans and just hit the nail on the head.

“Do you remember what I was trying to say earlier, Fortuneteller?”

“Ah, is that the story about the Hero being interested in dating from a young age?”

“That’s right. But… think about it.”

“Yes?”

“If someone is very interested in dating but still remains a total newbie, what does that mean?”

“Ah….”

Does that mean he’s completely unable to find a partner? How sad…

The Saint, who had been calling me the ‘criminal comrade’ in front of others, stiffened his expression.

At the same time, the Crown Prince’s aide stepped forward—

“I…”

“—I have a good idea.”

“What… is it…?”

The Hero, who was in despair over the failed plan, revived at the Saint’s words and approached.

At the same time, the aide who was about to say something promptly shut up. Well, we can always hear it later.

But is this one of those moments? Like, “I failed too, so hope you fail too”?

I didn’t expect you guys to be so close.

“Could it be that… we should pray… and hope for the best?”

“Haha, not this time, Abel.”

… ‘Not this time’?

Do you usually solve everything with prayer?

“The depths of a thousand rivers may be known, but one’s heart is hard to discern. Love is ever-changing; even the greatest deities cannot sum it up in one word.”

“………What… are you talking about…?”

And really, Saint, how do you know these proverbs so well?

Aren’t you European…? Oh wait, you’re a created personality?

Is that why? Was there ever a citizen from the Daehan Empire among the historical figures who held the Saint job?

Well, either way.

So what’s the plan then?

“It’s easy; all we need to do is help the Crown Prince and Lucas realize that they aren’t dating Lily.”

“Right?”

“So it can be solved very easily.”

“………?”

What is this?

Why does it feel ominous?

*

“Haha, Lucas. I heard you recently got a girlfriend.”

“Would the Crown Prince consider himself any different? I heard you found a good match.”

“Hey, lately your smile hasn’t left your face. You must be meeting someone wonderful.”

“The other person is very bashful, so it’s hard to really see her… but I’m happy nonetheless.”

“I’m the same. When we start handing out wedding invitations, let’s make sure to attend, shall we?”

“I would love that, haha!”

“Hahaha!”

In one corner of the Special Class classroom.

The Saint lowered his head while watching the Crown Prince and Lucas engage in cheerful conversation.

“This is a failure…”

“………How… can they think they’re both dating…?”

“We did go through with the plan, but it feels a little off.”

“Ugh…!”

The Saint’s plan was to let both the Crown Prince and Lucas realize that they both had girlfriends, but…

It wasn’t hard to share the information. They’re all in the same class and friendly enough.

If anything, it’d be harder to avoid Liu and the Crown Princess when notifying them. Rain is still absent.

Besides, don’t people usually congratulate each other when they hear someone has a girlfriend instead of thinking, “Could it be my girlfriend is cheating on me?”

I’m genuinely curious about what goes on in the Saint’s head.

“It seems they’ve gotten even closer…”

“This makes me even more uneasy. What if they both realize they were mistaken…?”

Muttering that, I glanced sideways.

In the classroom corner where the Saint, Hero, and I were gathered.

“……….”

Since that day, Liu had been glaring at me from a distance, avoiding me.

No matter how hard I tried to approach, she would run away, making it hard to find her, and she wouldn’t speak during class either.

What’s going on? What did I do so wrong? Was it really that big of a deal not to inform her of the culprit?

I’m also a total newbie in that regard… especially Liu’s feelings, I genuinely don’t get it…

“…I’ve already failed twice. Abel, do you have another plan?”

“I do… but…”

“What is it?”

“This time… as a love rival…”

“Why are you so obsessed with bringing in a third party? Who do you plan to feature? Please don’t say it’s you!”

“With how you’re so pointedly questioning me… you must have an idea too, right?”

“Why not just pray to the gods from now on? If you wish hard enough, I’m sure the gods will help!”

“… If you think about it, aren’t the gods… also kind of newcomers themselves…?”

“What are you saying?”

“Both of you stop it, please. You both failed, so it’s my turn now.”

Mistakenly delegating things to two newbies is my fault.

I at least have some experience in confessions, so I should be better than those two, right?

“Fortuneteller, what’s your plan?”

“Your abilities… are known, but… your dating experience… doesn’t seem that much different from ours…”

“I’m just going to take the easiest route.”

*

“The Crown Prince has misunderstood. Just because I’ve agreed to a date doesn’t mean we’re dating.”

“Haha! Do you really think I’d make a mistake? Lily and I are already connected. Even with such fear, I won’t back down.”

“……….”

…Failure.

“Lucas, you’re misunderstanding. Read this letter carefully; it’s just a roundabout rejection!”

“Oh no, Namgoong Min. Apparently, your lack of experience is showing. Look at this, at first glance, it seems to be an indirect refusal, but that’s just a disguise. It’s European nobility-level skill—refusing while actually agreeing.”

“……….”

Failure.

Wait, did I directly say this and it still did not get across?

Am I the weird one, or are those two truly in love and blind?

“Did I… mess up?”

“Such an extreme method isn’t getting through either.”

“…What do I have to… do…?”

“Um, excuse me…”

“If merely saying it won’t work, then is there another way?”

“It’s already… severe…”

“But we can’t just leave it like this.”

“Um, excuse me?!”

Whoa, that surprised me.

Why did the aide suddenly act like this?

“Why are you behaving so abruptly?”

“I’ve been trying to tell you this from the start and you haven’t been listening!”

“Oh… Is that so?”

“Did I…?”

“That’s good to know. What’s on your mind?”

“I’ve been thinking about this for a while now.”

As the gaze focused on him, the aide, who had raised his voice suddenly hesitated for a moment, but soon regained his composure and wore a serious expression.

Then the last newbie spoke up.

“We simply need to have Lily explain everything.”

“…Huh?”

“………?”

“Yes?”

“If we can’t do it directly, then all that’s left is for the real Lily to step forward.”

But that means…

“However, if that happens, it could seriously hurt the feelings of the Crown Prince and Lucas—”

“Namgoong Min.”

“Yes?”

“From the moment they both misconceived this, it was already doomed.”

“……….”

“From the start, the only answer is this…”

*

“You’re dating? I don’t understand. I only accepted the date due to knightly duty; I’m not planning to date anyone!”

“…Wha? But you accepted the after-date…”

“It’s strange to bring up a request from six months ago now. If you want, I might accompany you, but dating is out of the question.”

“………Cough.”

The Crown Prince is down for the count.

“Phew… Crown Prince, you’ve misunderstood. Lily and I—”

“What nonsense is this? Lucas, I’m not dating you either.”

“Um, huh? But this love letter says…!”

“That’s a conventional denial response. I’d prefer if you didn’t jump to strange conclusions. Besides, I’ve been called a madwoman since long ago, so it would be impossible for me to have romantic feelings.”

“Cough…!!”

The warlock has fallen, game set.

The Crown Prince Kim Sung-il and Lucas, gathered by the manipulations of the Saint, Hero, and aide, faced utter defeat at the hands of Lily, whom I brought.

Honestly, asking Lily to correct their misconceptions was really embarrassing, but… it was still better than when I confessed to Rain.

On the contrary, Lily readily agreed. Apparently, misconceptions like this have occurred frequently since childhood?

Anyway, the anxious Newbie escapade wrapped up quite anticlimactically.

“Um, Crown Prince? Lucas?”

“………….”

“……….”

No response. They seem like ordinary corpses now.

It seems too much for the first love of inexperienced folks, but… it’s good that it didn’t drag on longer and deepen the misunderstanding.

Wouldn’t that have caused a bigger backlash?

Better to wake them up to reality sooner.

What a frightful thought.

“Hah, haha. Hahaha…”

“Uh, Crown Prince?”

“Hahaha… So that’s how it is. It was my misunderstanding…”

…Please tell me he hasn’t gone insane, right?

Is he losing his mind from the shock of a broken heart—

“How fascinating. Though it’s sad and embarrassing, it doesn’t extinguish the fire within.”

“Um, excuse me?”

“It’s really embarrassing and a bit suicidal but… I can’t give up here!!”

Is this what it means to be a Newbie?

“Haha! Good! As the knight among knights, take the highest mountain’s Lily White Rose as your girlfriend!”

“This is what I’ve longed for…!”

What’s with these guys getting scary now?

The Crown Prince seems to have revived (?) but what about Lucas?

He’s been mumbling something this whole time.

“That’s just wishful thinking… even if you succeed, it’s bound to be tasteless… there are plenty of vineyards around the world…”

“……….”

“Once you date, this love will surely fade… I’ll surely be hurt… it’s not that shocking… I wasn’t dumped; I was the one who turned them down…”

Poor guy, he’s taken refuge in his own mental victory, huh?

I truly hope he recovers and stands up again.

“Oh, right. I have a letter from the external consultant, Samuel, who is based in the highest city.”

“What?”

Lily, who was locking eyes with Kim Sung-il, suddenly looked thoughtful and pulled out a neatly folded letter from her armor.

There’s a gap in there?

But what letter? Was there someone to send it?

“What does it say?”

“I’m not sure. There’s no sender’s name. Since it arrived at the student council room, it seems they don’t know the address of your base.”

“Is that so?”

Well, I think it’s just a tax notice or something (?)

If it’s not that, I wouldn’t even have a clue.

If someone wanted to contact me, they’d just send a message; in this day and age, letters are… what the…?

“…Huh?”

“Um, let’s see. ‘I’ve been watching you closely. Four days from now, I’ll be waiting at the place where you and I first met’… what?!”

“……That’s… could it be…?”

What the hell is this?

Could it be?

As I was trembling uncontrollably, unable to accept reality, Lily, laughing boisterously, placed her hand on my shoulder.

“Haha! Congratulations, it’s a duel arena!”

No, it’s not a duel arena; isn’t it a love letter?

More importantly, what’s going on?

Am I about to escape my Newbie status?

“………….”

“…………….”

Oh come on, Saints and Heroes, don’t glare at me like that…
