I Became a Fortune Teller in the Game My Little Sister Made – Chapter 239

The first day of the decisive battle dawned.

It was the first day that the Namgoong Min treaty was set to begin.

Nevertheless, my morning routine didn’t change.

Today was a weekend with no classes. I woke up around 8 as usual, brewed some instant coffee, and settled for a simple toast for breakfast.

After washing up, I donned my usual black suit, red shirt, and white gloves, stepping out of the base.

“I’ve been waiting. You scummy fortuneteller.”

“………Liu.”

It was just Liu, who always covered herself in luxury goods and jewelry, waiting as usual.

A slight scoff escaped me at her determination not to waste a single moment.

After staring at me for a moment, Liu said,

“Are you… feeling unwell?”

She suddenly lowered her head slightly and muttered.

…Why is this overbearing rich tycoon acting like this?

“Of course not, Liu.”

“Really?”

“I’m spending the day with you, so it’s all good. I’m more than welcome.”

“………You little brat.”

Only then did Liu smile brightly and take out her phone, poking a few buttons.

Why suddenly with the buttons—

“I’ve arranged for the private jet, let’s go.”

“……Yes.”

It felt familiar—perhaps even comforting.

Thus began our private jet date.

*

“Oh my!”

It was only my second time, but stepping onto Liu’s private jet, which was different from the last one, left me utterly speechless.

Unlike the last time, where there were only two seats in the plane, this place felt more like a hotel.

Even though I was in an airplane, I was greeted with a warm welcome from the captain, co-pilot, and stewardesses as I walked into what could only be described as a suite that rivals any fine hotel.

The plane’s interior had been ingeniously remodeled to accommodate a billiard room, arcade, cinema, and library.

“…Is there a swimming pool too?”

“You can go in when we take off. Even if the plane tilts, there’s a gravity artifact under the pool, so you won’t have to worry about waves.”

“Wow.”

They equipped a whole artifact just for one room in this private jet.

Thinking that academy students and various people strive to have a single artifact like that, it seemed almost surreal.

Although I was somewhat used to it by now.

But speaking of swimming pools…

“Liu, are you going to swim?”

“I’m fine with it. Just wait a moment.”

A swimming pool inside a plane? I couldn’t resist that.

As soon as Liu entered the changing room, a male steward who had been waiting promptly approached me, offering a swimsuit courteously… but.

“…This fits my body suspiciously well?”

“I apologize. If you’d like a different design, Liu has many swimsuits she’s picked out herself.”

“How many…?”

“57 in total. 34 off-the-rack, 19 handcrafted, and 4 custom-made haute couture swimsuits.”

“……….I’ll just take this one.”

“Thank you. If you have any additional requests, just ask me, not the other stewardesses.”

“Oh, are the others busy?”

“Not exactly, but Liu is very reluctant to have you in contact with other women…”

“…I see.”

For some reason, upon putting on the precisely fitting swimming trunks and shirt, I’d noticed my body was somewhat on display.

Especially the scars.

‘This is awkward.’

Thanks to Eileen’s <Holy Radiance> and various artifacts, along with top-notch medical facilities, my physical condition had completely recovered.

However, the scars left from a former god still lingered on me.

On a normal day, dressed in a suit, I wouldn’t have to show them, but in a swimsuit, the deep scars on my abdomen, waist, and limbs became quite noticeable.

Even the male steward, who was assigned to attend to me, looked somewhat flustered at the sight of the scars.

I’d also want to erase them if I could, but they were remnants left by a former god, so I was told they couldn’t all be removed.

‘Well, I guess I should consider them my badges of honor.’

Thinking about having slain a former god for these marks somehow made it feel worth it. After all, that guy’s dead, and I’m still alive.

…This is a thought I wouldn’t have to entertain once Liu comes out. When is she showing up?

“Ugh!”

“Wha—!?”

Splash!

As I crouched and stared at the surface of the water, I felt all my energy drain away, making me feel a bit drowsy.

Just then, someone shoved me from behind, and I tumbled into the water without any resistance.

Of course, it was obvious who pushed me!

“Gah! Huh!?”

“Haha! Scummy fortuneteller, how’s it feel?”

“L-Liu!? I-I can’t swim…! Gah!?”

“Uh, huh?”

No, I can’t swim! This is my first time being in a pool!

The ocean is the first thing I’ve seen in this world, so I wouldn’t have had the chance to swim before—

Splash!

“Hey, hey!? Are you okay!?”

“Gah, huff… I’m fine. Thankfully, the water isn’t deep…”

“I lifted you. Hey! Raise the floor!”

“Yes, sir!”

As Liu shouted, the stewards sprang into action, and the bottom of the pool began to rise… Is this even possible?!

Once the water was at a level where I could stand, Liu gestured for me to hurry out.

The stewards bowed and hurriedly exited the pool area.

“…Sorry. You mentioned you’d never swum before during summer break…”

“Eh, I said it was my first time seeing the ocean, but I never mentioned swimming.”

“Isn’t that the same? Are you… angry?”

Why is she acting like this?

She’s so cold to her employees, yet acts all gloomy around me.

Of course, I wouldn’t be angry or anything.

“I’m not angry. By the way, Liu, that swimsuit…”

“R-really? Hahaha…”

Of course, it’s gorgeous. This is my first time seeing someone in a swimsuit.

…And I doubt anyone could compare to Liu when it comes to beauty.

“Hey? Hey? What do you think, pretty? Look closer, brat.”

“Of course, it’s beautiful. So could you just give me a moment…?”

“What’s up with you? Why are you turning your head? You… don’t tell me.”

As I turned my head slightly away from Liu, who was getting closer, she seemed to sense something and linked her arm with mine, grinning mischievously.

The culprit behind my distraction, her chest was right against my arm, soft as hell!

“L-Liu!? Could you at least let go first!”

“Hehe, do you like it? How is it, brat?”

I was overwhelmed.

“It’s good! So could you please…!!”

“Really? If you want, you could touch all you like.”

“……!!”

As Liu came closer, she sweetly whispered in my ear.

Hearing those words, I immediately made use of my hidden swimming skills to escape from Liu’s grasp, but of course—

I was caught by Liu’s strength immediately.

“What’s up? No one’s going to interrupt. Not the stewards, and not any other girls.”

“Liu…!!”

“Those scars on your body are nothing but adorable to me. It’s proof of your determination, so there’s no need to view them as something ugly.”

“W-Well! I feel the same, so please don’t!”

“You’re usually so reliable… but at times like this, you’re just downright cute.”

Facing a situation where it could lead to my first experience in the water, Liu backed off.

“Well, there’s no need to rush. Doing this here would break the treaty.”

“…Is that so?”

“Don’t give me looks like that, brat. If I break the treaty, the other girls would start doing so as well, and I wouldn’t want to see that kind of mess.”

So…

“Let’s just have some fun right now. Or do you want me to teach you how to swim?”

“As long as you don’t grope my body…”

“Let’s count that as a service.”

After that, the previous heated moment turned into a peaceful atmosphere… although I wondered if “peaceful” was the right term for this situation.

We floated in the water, held hands and swam, shared snacks that floated on the surface, splashed water around, and played with a ball.

To be honest, it was an incredibly enjoyable time. Liu in her swimsuit was… quite the eye candy.

I wondered just how long we’d been splashing around. When I started to contemplate why the private jet hadn’t arrived yet…

“…It’s about time.”

“Oh, is it finally arriving?”

“Pretty much. Get changed and come out.”

Worried about Liu’s words, I quickly dried off and changed back into my suit.

The wealthy tycoon’s private jet had built-in artifacts for simply drying off.

Once changed, I stepped out to see Liu back in her original attire, smiling as she took my hand.

“Let’s go.”

“Uh, Liu. It looks like we’re over the ocean from the window…?”

“Don’t worry. A boat is here to pick us up.”

A boat?

Out in the open sea?

“Hey, did I mention I run a PMC as well?”

“Private Military Company? This is the first I’m hearing of it.”

“Truth be told, I just lend my name and don’t really care much about it, but it seems like it could come in handy this time.”

“So…?”

<Private jet flight 5, landing now.>

Finally, the scenery outside started changing from just the ocean.

Gray steel ships adorned the blue sea.

Amongst the more than ten warships visible at a glance, one colossal ship stood out.

“…No PMC in the world would have an aircraft carrier, right?”

“That would be me, Liu Yan.”

My mind was blown.

*

“So, you’re saying that aircraft carrier is just on loan, huh?”

“Even as a tycoon, I can’t afford to own that. I simply ‘borrowed’ it to ensure there are no issues. It’s technically a decommissioned ship and quite old.”

“Wow…”

The private jet landed onto the aircraft carrier, but we weren’t going anywhere on that.

Instead, we boarded a cruise ship that was seemingly escorted by the aircraft carrier and several warships. It was easy to board, even possible to jump between the ships… though I was cradled by Liu.

But while the aircraft carrier was immense, the cruise ship, our actual destination, was equally jaw-dropping.

How many buildings could fit on this ship? Ten? Twenty?

“What’s with this boat size?”

“It’s the largest of my cruise ships. Not bad, right?”

“Not bad” didn’t even begin to cover it!

The water park on this ship alone was five times larger than what we enjoyed aboard the private jet, with several massive water slides, an ice rink, numerous bars and restaurants were scattered throughout, and not to mention an aquarium embedded within the ship’s floor… Liu’s explanation made it seem like finding something missing was more difficult than anything else.

Yet the cruise ship, which should be buzzing with people during regular times, had no one around except for us.

It was only Liu and me.

“I cleared today’s schedule. Since I’ll fully reimburse them, it’s all good.”

“I don’t think we could cover everything in a single day, even if we tried?”

“Well, we didn’t come just to play, after all. Follow me.”

Walking along the deck where luxuries sparkled everywhere, the staff lined up in an orderly fashion to bow to Liu.

Soon after, men who seemed to be the captain and head manager bowed respectfully to her and opened a path.

“Lady Liu. We’ve prepared everything as you requested.”

“Good. If there’s even a slight inconvenience… you remember? Many others would love to take control of a ship like this if there’s any problems.”

“Yes!!”

“Let’s go, scummy fortuneteller.”

“Yes.”

Taking Liu’s outstretched hand, we entered the cruise ship, taking an elevator that continued to ascend higher.

We reached the highest and most luxurious restaurant on the ship.

Inside the restaurant, not a single staff member was present.

All that greeted us was the smell of something grilling, demonstrating that chefs were hidden somewhere in the unseen kitchen.

“This is our spot, let’s sit down.”

“Wow…”

The restaurant didn’t have many seats. The table Liu led me to was the highest of them all, enclosed in a private room entirely glassed in.

The transparent windows were so crystal clear they captured not just the entire cruise, but the majestic ocean surrounding us.

As Liu poured wine into our glasses across the table from me.

“Do you want a drink?”

“Of course. When else would I get to drink something like this?”

“Well, from now on, I hope you can drink as much as you’d like.”

Clink.

After toasting with Liu, the wine I drank was… indescribably delicious.

Then came a moment of stillness.

It wasn’t that it was awkward or that we had nothing to say—it was closer to what Liu intended.

Right now, she was gazing at me with endless affection in her eyes.

“How do you like this ship?”

“It’s incredible. I never knew such a place existed…”

“Then take it.”

“Pardon?”

“Everything; this ship, the private jet we came on, the aircraft carrier we landed on. If you want it, I can give it all to you.”

—Is that all you think?!

“I’m a tycoon. You might not grasp it fully, but I am the richest in the world. It doesn’t matter how much money I have. If I wanted, I could buy countries. All of this is my property, and I have no interest in sharing with anyone else.”

“………….”

“Except, of course, you.”

Snapping her fingers, the surroundings went dark in an instant.

…No.

Not just the surroundings.

“Wait, the whole cruise…?”

“The artifact, <Veil of Night>. It’s a one-time use, but it can briefly turn the area into night. Cost? About 200 billion or so?”

“………….”

“Roughly the amount of your debt.”

Step by step, Liu walked toward me, having cast darkness around us.

The restaurant was not dark.

Stars adorned the sky, illuminating the entire cruise ship with the glowing night view around us.

All of it shone down on Liu.

Her eyes gleamed, beautiful only for one person.

“We’ve spent quite some time together, haven’t we?”

“…That’s true.”

“Some might refer to it as merely a year, but for me, that year spent with you has been deeper and richer than anything in this world. Even more so than my entire life.”

“………….”

“Now, telling you I love you would seem cliché. So, I’d like to propose a deal.”

“A deal, you say?”

“Ultimately, I am a tycoon. It seems fitting to speak this way.”

The chips on the table are:

“Everything I own. Including myself.”

What I wish for:
“A life with a certain fortune teller.”

No matter how much money one possesses, if the seller refuses, then the transaction cannot take place.

“Would you… consider selling me your life?”

That was the greatest deal of a tycoon’s life.

A heartfelt proposal only Liu could offer.

So…

I was about to say…

“Liu, I….”

“Shh, you don’t need to answer now. You’ll have a chance on the day the Namgoong Min treaty ends.”

“…………….”

“Today, let’s just enjoy this delicious and joyful day. Tomorrow, you’ll meet another girl.”

“………Ah.”

“Never give in. My husband.”

And so…

…The first day came to a close.
