I Became a Fortune Teller in the Game My Little Sister Made – Chapter 28

Buuuuuuuuuum───

“I was wondering what that sound was at first… but running through the mountains like this isn’t so bad.”

“Right, Older Brother.”

“Honestly, I was impressed this time. I never expected riding up in a jeep could be this fun.”

“Don’t forget, this is my car, okay?”

“…When have you ever seen me lie?”

A jeep, roaring with its massive engine, was tearing through the mountain roads.

The gusting winds and exhilarating speed turned what should’ve been class time into a drive.

“We can’t get through here, cough!!”

Crack.

Monsters lurking in the trees or seniors suddenly jumping out got squished or overtaken by the jeep during Rain’s brief pause.

“Oh, that way.”

“Got it.”

Lucas effortlessly disarmed the barriers and traps we encountered along the way.

“I’m about to go full throttle.”

“Crown Princess Punch! Crown Princess Punch!”

“Stop calling it that!”

Kaboom!

With a punch from the Crown Princess herself, nature was obliterated, creating a path through the wilderness.

What is this? This doesn’t feel like a class; it feels like a real drive!

Moreover, just hitching a ride feels great!

Wait, if it weren’t for me, they wouldn’t even know the way? They should be thanking me instead.

“At this speed, we’ll arrive soon. It was definitely a good call to travel with a Fortuneteller.”

“You flatter me, Lucas.”

…Yeah, it’d be nice if it ended this easily.

Something feels off.

‘The level of monsters and traps… is way too high.’

Right now, Rain is stopping them with her telekinesis, but to be honest, there’s no way we could defeat the artificial monsters or seniors one-on-one.

If it were the Crown Princess, Kim Eun-ha, we might stand a chance, but she’d still fall victim to magic barriers and traps.

So…

‘It’s been set up for cooperative play from the start.’

Barriers and traps only Lucas could disarm, monsters we could only defeat with Kim Eun-ha’s level of ability, and likely a maze leading to the goal that was designed to keep an eye on me.

This isn’t an individual match; it’s been engineered so that the entire Special Class has to work together to get through.

But right now?

“Oh, I see open plains instead of a forest.”

“That seems to be the goal.”

“Namgoong Min… impressive.”

“…Rain, why do you stutter whenever you talk to the Fortuneteller?”

“Oh, no? It’s nothing, Older Brother.”

“………?”

There’s just the five of us, and we’re managing to get through.

Well, I guess the difficulty level was set incorrectly… but even thinking that feels a bit off.

The missing <Hero> and <Saint>, Kim Sung-il from Royalty, are all powerhouses on their own.

That Violent Crown Princess could clear a path through the mountains with a single punch, stronger than any <Hero>, and if Kim Sung-il, who’s at Lucas’s level, and the <Saint>, who can heal if they get tired or injured, had teamed up, class would’ve ended long ago.

With them acting individually, we’re only making it this far.

‘…Could it be?’

Is there still a level of foe that only appears when all eight members of the Special Class are gathered?

Buuuuuuuuum───

“Alright! Let’s score a goal!”

“…Wait, Liu! There’s something up ahead!”

“Eh? Are you pulling my leg, you rascal?”

“Why are you lying now? There’s something that looks like armor up there—”

Wait a minute.

…Armor?

Real armor, for real?

“L-Liu! Turn the steering wheel!”

“What? Hey, why are you suddenly saying this weird thing…?”

“Turn the wheel, NOW!! We’re in serious trouble!!!”

“Hey, hey! What’s going on all of a sudden!?”

What the hell.

This is our first class, right? No matter how special the class is, this is the first class after the entrance ceremony!

There was no power-up event to get more familiar with our jobs or enhance our skills!

“Hurry up! Left or right, just TURN IT!”

“Are you crazy!?”

In the back seat, as I abruptly tried to grab the steering wheel, Liu’s face flushed red, and she started hitting me.

But now’s not the time to worry about that!

“…Please tell me, Fortuneteller. Don’t say what I’m thinking.”

“That’s correct, Lucas…! You know, don’t you!?”

“What the heck?!”

Even Lucas, who was looking at me like I was crazy, seemed to have realized something was off as he saw the armor and looked visibly panicked.

And though Rain had been perplexed, as soon as she heard the voice, her eyes widened in recognition.

“O-Older Brother. You mean… that…?”

“Right. I heard she’d entered the Romance Academy, but I didn’t think I’d see that lunatic here…!”

“What’s happening? Can someone fill me in on what you guys know?!”

“Crown Princess, brace yourself.”

“Eh?”

“Here it comes!”

Lucas hesitated to call her a lunatic, the medieval knight-enthusiast girl from our school.

Though not quite on Arthur’s level, she hails from one of Europe’s noble families.

Unfortunately, that insanity of hers is matched by her real skills.

“Lily of the White Rose family, I’m coming!”

“…Lily White Rose? Don’t tell me that’s the…?”

She was well-known even across the world, a student council president of the Romance Academy, and the strongest in her third year.

Truly, one of the greatest opponents that would require all eight of us to work together.

“Feel the blow of this knight!”

“……!!”

With her entire body clad in armor, she charged at the jeep in the blink of an eye.

At a speed that defied logic, just as the crown princess reflexively threw a punch—

BANG!!!

“Kyah!”

“Crown Princess!”

“A capable junior indeed!”

The Crown Princess was sent flying out of the jeep for the first time in a power struggle…!

“Rain!”

“Okay, I got it!”

Rain quickly used her telekinesis to catch the Crown Princess in mid-air, narrowly avoiding a disaster.

It’s a good thing the princess was flung out because she’d have no one to fight that armored girl if she fell out of the speeding jeep.

“How about a second round! Hahahaha!!”

“What a lunatic!”

Crack!

While Rain and I were distracted by the Crown Princess, Lilly, having jumped onto the jeep using her lance, raised her shield.

Lucas, realizing what she was up to at the last moment, created some kind of blue barrier—but—

“Lucas Arthur! You’re still a fledgling, aren’t you?!”

“It’s you who’s insane, you crazy girl!”

Bang! Bang!

…Is that sound really the shield smashing down? It’s not like a bomb is going off, is it?

She’s just slamming the shield down with all her strength, and cracks appear on the barrier.

Lucas, gritting his teeth, reinforced the barrier, but the speed at which the cracks healed was far slower than the damage!

“Liu! Pull the car over immediately!”

“What? Are you serious!?”

“If we’re on this ride, you can’t just throw me off! I have a plan, so stop the car!”

“…Fine, I’ll just go with whatever!”

SCREECH—!

With an emergency brake taken without any concern for the passengers, everyone felt themselves lift off their seats for a moment.

I looked back at the still-dazed Crown Princess and yelled, “Up the tree!”

“…What?”

“Climb up!”

I had no choice but to trust that everyone would follow my orders!

While Lucas stayed focused, keeping his telekinesis going in a sweat, and Lilly White Rose was about to smash the barrier with her shield, I shouted to counter!

“Let’s go for a little chat!”

“Eh?”

<My Little Fortune Teller's Shop>.

I forcibly called her into this space.

As the dark area formed on top of the jeep, even Lilly, despite her confidence, froze momentarily, raising her shield.

Not missing that chance, I hurled a candle I had grabbed!

Clang!

“…You didn’t think that would work, did you?”

Of course, it bounced harmlessly off her armor.

It was a bit embarrassing seeing her not even respond.

“Haha, as if I would not expect that.”

“What do you mean by that? What’s this skill for…?”

“Goodbye!”

“…What?”

Did you think I was trying to attack? I was just trying to distract you!

Leaving a stunned Lilly behind, I dashed through the black curtain.

Whoosh.

In the blink of an eye, I returned to the jeep where I’d first activated the skill.

“What the heck! You just appeared out of nowhere?”

“It’s a skill. I am surprised it could hold someone like that lunatic.”

“At least I bought some time!”

“Namgoong…Min? Is that skill you just used…?”

“Does it look familiar?”

<My Little Fortune Teller's Shop> is a skill that invites myself and opponents nearby into an alternate space.

Since it’s not a tangible space, the shop doesn’t physically appear on top of the jeep, and from their perspective, it looks like I just vanished for a moment.

After sharing a knowing glance with Rain, who had already experienced this skill, I turned forward again.

“Man, I’d like to make that guy my underling. Anyway, we bought some time! How much do we have?”

“Three seconds.”

“……Huh?”

“They will be out soon…!”

<My Little Fortune Teller's Shop> can be used to forcibly invite an opponent, so itも can also be used to buy time, but getting out has to be easy!

I could walk back through the dark curtain like I did, or—

Or she could just break through like that woman over there!

Boom—!!!

“Junior! You didn’t really think you beat me with that, did you?!”

Coming out of the void was Lilly, roaring powerfully as she prepared to slam her shield down on the jeep again.

“Of course not. There’s someone who can take care of the seniors.”

“What?!”

Naturally, my role was just buying time. There’s no way I could defeat that armored girl!

I was just pulling away the attention, and I had only secured a brief moment to prepare.

Time to send someone to take a strong blow at her from an angle she wouldn’t expect.

“Hnnngh!”

A short time, thanks to Namgoong Min.

With Rain’s telekinesis, the Crown Princess, who had been waiting in a tree, leaped down.

Timing her strike when the enemy was most vulnerable, the most powerful blow goes in at the right moment.

The Crown Princess, impressed by Namgoong Min’s strategy, approached Lilly White Rose, who reacted too late, and with all her strength—kicked out!

BANG!!!!

The spectacle of the Crown Princess, who seemed thin, delivering a boot that sent Lilly flying along with her armor, crushing trees and rocks in the process was truly magnificent.

Just in case, Lucas, who had been maintaining the barrier, gasped for breath, while Rain, whose powers were dwindling, trembled as she noticed the Crown Princess was also panting heavily.

What an emotionally charged moment as we barely overcome a sudden, formidable opponent… or that’s what I’d like to say.

“Now! Now’s the time, Liu!”

“I know it without you saying!”

Fwooosh—!

At my urging, Liu stepped on the accelerator, speeding up rapidly.

Though the kick landed well, it wouldn’t be enough to subdue Lilly. Still, we could push past her just like before!

As everyone was worn out, Liu, the non-combatant, turned the wheel towards the grassy plain that was supposed to be our target.

[This is fun, junior.]

“………!!”

I quickly scanned the area upon hearing the voice right beside me.

But there was no one nearby. There’s no way Lilly, who was thrown that far, could have recovered so quickly.

‘Is it a voice transmission skill?!’

Dressed in armor and holding a lance and shield, she was undoubtedly part of the <Fighter> class, yet Lilly was also a <Fighter>.

And <Fighters> acquire a skill known as ‘Transmission’ after reaching a certain level. It can send their voice over a distance, a lesser version of the telepathy Rain uses.

‘But why is she sending a transmission right now?’

I panicked, unable to grasp Lilly’s intentions.

[This is the end.]

“The end? What nonsense is this?”

Lilly had been flung far away. With the jeep racing ahead, that distance could only grow.

And the means to attack at this distance is…

“Namgoong Min? Why are you sweating bullets?”

…It exists. Damn it.

“Liu! Hurry and tell me you’re passing the ownership of this car to me!”

“What? Are you nuts? Why would I—”

“Hurry! Do it now!”

I’m dead serious; this mysterious girl is about to attack!

“Ugh! You really mean it!?”

“Just let me use it for a second! I’ll tell you another secret afterwards, just hurry!”

“Fine, Liu Yan transfers ownership of this jeep to Namgoong Min! Good to go!?”

Alright. Now for a brief moment, this jeep is ‘mine.’

Liu’s suspicious gaze pierced through me, but I didn’t care and turned my head away.

“Lucas!”

“What do you want…?”

“Make a roof over the car!”

“…Ha, fine.”

Responding almost like a decree, Liu could’ve possibly bribed back, but perhaps from sheer exhaustion, Lucas produced a blue barrier over the jeep.

That should make the jeep a kind of ‘room.’

I’ve done everything I can! Whether it’s good or bad, I’ll just have to try──

BANG—!!!

There were no screams, reactions, or voices at all.

It was that brief moment of time where Lilly’s thrown lance completely wrecked the jeep.

A throwing spear. Lilly White Rose’s trump card.

She didn’t seem to want to kill us, aiming for the tires, but that overwhelming force ripped through not only the tires but the bottom of the jeep, sending it airborne.

As Lucas, Rain, the Crown Princess, and Liu, who had been driving, all stared wide-eyed in shock,

“Please!”

<Cleanliness>.

Not only does it keep me clean, but it also cleans ‘my room.’

I realized this while facing the Saint last time. This cleaning action can revert a room to its original state, a skill rivaling time reversal.

It’s a makeshift move, but having received ownership from Liu, and with Lucas serving as the roof, if this jeep is acknowledged as ‘my room’—

“I-I…”

“What the hell?!”

“It’s back to normal….”

“…Huh.”

<I can return it back to its

The blown out tires are restored, and the torn doors and floor reassembled.

Looking at the jeep being broken apart and cleaned in under five seconds,

“I did it…”

I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a hard-won victory.
