I Became a Fortune Teller in the Game My Little Sister Made – Chapter 68

Why is that?

Liu Yan was simply enjoying this moment.

“So, am I just supposed to call for a private jet at the building? Just pay the taxes. Isn’t this totally freebie?”

“Ms. Liu, even if I just pay the taxes, it’ll wipe out my entire fortune…”

She laughed sincerely, feeling that this conversation was so enjoyable.

It was a strange feeling she had never experienced in conversations with anyone else.

Originally, she didn’t know why, but now she did.

“It’s because of Namgoong Min.”

The joy in the conversation, the absurd date proposal acceptance, and the hospitality involving private jets and restaurant reservations—all of it was because the other person was this fortuneteller, Namgoong Min.

At first, it was suspicion, then curiosity, and beyond that was embarrassment, but once she passed that, happiness filled her up.

Every little response from Namgoong Min and every word spoken was delightful, making time fly unnoticed.

“I’m really easy.”

She could have doubted it endlessly. She could have distanced herself as much as she wanted.

Yet, the desire to get closer to Namgoong Min was her own will.

Had my suspicion decreased?

She had pondered such questions before but realized while dealing with Wang Fei that she was still the same.

It was just that Namgoong Min was unique. Only Namgoong Min was different.

This fortuneteller, who always approached her with endless smiles even when she doubted, pushed away, threatened, or hated, was special.

Liu Yan self-deprecatingly thought of herself as an easy woman.

Of course, if she could feel this happy, it wouldn’t be bad to be seen as an easy woman.

“So, am I paying the taxes too? Should I just change your name?”

“Ms. Liu…”

“Pfft, haha.”

Does this foolish fortuneteller even know?

Although she boasts the wealth of the world’s richest as a Rich Tycoon, she does not share her wealth with just anyone. Even if it were only 1 won.

Does she understand what it means for Liu Yan to consider gifting a three-story building and a private jet to one person?

“Foolish brat.”

Usually perceptive but utterly clueless at times like this.

But Liu knew it wasn’t an act.

Having done enough background checks on Namgoong Min to fill a book, she memorized it all, going over it several times a day.

“She had no friends during her school years, not a single acquaintance. In fact, in her second year of middle school, she was bullied for three months and sixteen days before transferring schools, and in high school, she was tormented by four students for eight months and three days during her first and second years.”

Despite having lived such an unfortunate school life, how she maintained such a bright personality remained a mystery.

Those who had ostracized or bullied Namgoong Min ended up in ruin for ‘unknown’ reasons—whether drowning in debt, having broken families, or going bankrupt.

‘For unknown reasons.’

Anyway, having lived a life with no friends, she couldn’t help but lack intuition regarding such a delicate relationship.

“Better this way. At least I won’t fall for some strange seductress.”

However, Liu Yan was generous enough to overlook that kind of flaw.

It would be quite troublesome if someone she could comfortably talk to like Namgoong Min fell for a strange woman.

In that case, she would have no choice but to make that woman ‘unknown’ too…

It was just a natural action for a ‘friend.’

“Okay, okay, then let’s just go with the building. Deal?”

“…Will you really let it go with that?”

“Of course, I won’t consider it a debt!”

“Then, uh… thank you.”

So far, Namgoong Min owed her a staggering 12,134,897,600 won in Daehan Empire currency.

Unluckily, it was an amount he could pay back with the money he currently had.

“I need to give him even more.”

In this age of capitalism, anyone would want a large sum of money.

It was no different for Namgoong Min. If it were otherwise, he wouldn’t have accepted the overly troublesome commission from Lily White Rose.

Of course, Liu didn’t view that as a fault.

“The more I give, the more he’ll want.”

Then, if she considered it a debt, it could pile up to an unpayable amount no matter what he did for a lifetime.

Even if he didn’t want the money, it would be fine. She could keep giving him gifts in the form of her feelings to make him feel a emotional debt.

If she kept piling up debts—genuine or emotional—on Namgoong Min…

“He won’t leave my side.”

Could this feeling be love?

Liu Yan shook her head.

It felt like that moment when she saw an Artifact she desperately desired…

Even if it was inefficient, she was willing to pay more than its value…

It was a strange sensation she had felt before a few times.

While it was good to surrender to this pleasant sensation, there were things to take care of.

Smiling mischievously, Liu got up from her seat.

“Wait here for a moment.”

“Are you going to pick flowers?”

“…If you know, then don’t ask unnecessarily! Don’t make it obvious I don’t have a girlfriend.”

“Haha, sorry about that.”

After scolding Namgoong Min, she entered the restroom, where the waiting attendants greeted her politely.

Liu received their greetings casually and sat down in the prepared chair.

If dining with Namgoong Min was a rest, now was work time.

“So, who exactly are they?”

“One is Rain Arthur, and the other is Crown Princess Kim Eun-ha.”

“…Talk about a couple of seductresses.”

She had a feeling someone was trailing her and Namgoong Min.

Even if it was coincidental that they came to Italy, following her here was definitely stalking.

Thanks to her Job Skill, Eye for Wealth, she could clearly see the auras of the two.

Expectedly familiar light, but she didn’t expect them to be a malevolent Psychic and the Fist Princess.

“Contact?”

“Not yet.”

“How rude; what a lack of manners… expecting human manners from fox-like beasts is quite a stretch, isn’t it?”

Liu frowned and spat out derogatory remarks, but none of the attendants among them showed any signs of agitation.

They recognized her temper and, more importantly, were well-trained.

She often used them as pawns when directing ‘unknown’ matters.

“Well, I guess I’ll have to endure.”

But Liu, utterly unfazed as if she had never been angry, let the two seductresses pass by.

The ‘real task’ was different.

“Is everything ready?”

“We’ve picked a quiet mountain and land in Sichuan, purchased it, and construction is underway.”

“To complete the size you want, it’ll take about five years.”

“Five times the salary.”

“…I’ll reduce it to three years.”

“Good.”

By that time, she would graduate from the Romance Academy, perfectly timed.

“Number of actors?”

“We currently have around 2,000 hired and in training. In a year, they’ll be ready for real action, focusing on familiarizing the main actors with Namgoong Min gradually.”

“What’s the most important point?”

“Namgoong Min must never find out about the plan, no matter what!”

“Remember. If you get caught, you’re all finished.”

“Yes!”

It was a plan born from watching an old movie.

The budget and time had consumed more than expected, but it wasn’t a large expenditure for Liu.

“…Should I call it the Namgoong Min show?”

Although I won’t broadcast it on TV like that movie.

At least it seemed it would become the world’s most enormous display case for her and Namgoong Min to spend time together.

Thinking of the beautiful future in three years, Liu smiled momentarily.

Just then, one of the attendants hurriedly approached her.

“Ms. Liu.”

“What is it?”

“Rain Arthur’s side… has initiated contact.”

“…Damn it, are they really going to interfere?”

Liu anxiously checked her wristwatch.

It had only been a minute since she snuck out under the pretense of visiting the restroom.

Being a shy girl, if she didn’t want to be misunderstood, she needed to return within 9 minutes at the latest.

After contemplating briefly, Liu quickly made a decision.

“…Where are they?”

“First floor of the building.”

“Let’s go.”

With a sharp glare, Liu led the attendants down.

To prevent any noise from interfering with her conversation with Namgoong Min, she had dismissed the people from the building itself, allowing them to head straight to the first floor without hindrance from the elevator.

Upon arriving at the first floor, she found a girl with silver hair, dressed like her, being attended by maids and butlers, waiting for her.

With a truly ugly and sinister smile in Liu’s eyes.

“What a coincidence, Ms. Liu.”

“Shut up.”

The Rich Tycoon and Psychic stepped forward, leaving just a step between them, glaring at each other as if ready to kill.

“What do you want?”

“This is Europe. I’m surprised to even hear a goldfish ask why Arthur is here in Europe.”

“Shut up.”

“You still only know how to use cheap words.”

“I guess you only know how to speak uselessly polite and use weak insults?”

“…………”

“…………”

An ominous wind blew between the two girls.

The attendants, well aware that the relationship between Liu and Rain was the worst, did not even think about intervening and adapted the atmosphere by either drawing their Artifacts or stepping forward with their classes.

With Rain’s Superpower, furniture and items in the building began to rise, while the Artifacts covering Liu flickered with light.

It felt like a clash could happen at any moment.

However, the situation was resolved more smoothly than expected.

“……No way?”

“Shut up.”

Thud!

Just as it seemed they would fight, both girls suddenly looked up at the ceiling and hurriedly headed for the elevator.

Leaving the attendants, who were confused and stunned, on the first floor, the two repeatedly pressed the elevator button.

From the first floor to the top floor.

It wasn’t a long time, but the atmosphere in the elevator was the most uncomfortable of all.

“…………”

“…………”

They both felt the same thing.

With Rain’s Superpower and Liu’s Eye for Wealth.

Yet, knowing there was nothing to gain by talking, they each targeted the other with their powers and artifacts without even meeting each other’s gaze.

As forever-like time passed, they finally arrived at the restaurant.

“Are you okay, Crown Princess?”

“I’m sorry. I’m feeling dizzy…”

“…………”

“…………”

As soon as they spotted Namgoong Min, the two, who had been walking with composed expressions, suddenly twisted their faces.

Because they caught sight of the Crown Princess, slumped over and resting on Namgoong Min.

“Oh, Ms. Liu! Is there a hospital nearby, by any chance?”

“…Hey, Crown Princess… why are you here?”

“I’m not really sure. Suddenly, you came through that emergency exit and said you felt dizzy…”

That emergency exit?

That’s the door leading to the rooftop!

If she had flown in with a plane or helicopter, she would have known by now.

…Could it be? Did she ride a building up?

“What a monster.”

Just as Liu’s wariness towards Crown Princess Kim Eun-ha level spiked, Namgoong Min rushed toward the elevator.

“I’ll take the Crown Princess to the hospital nearby! Please wait just a moment!”

“Hey, hey! Hold on a second! Do you know the way there?!”

“A hospital, it’s obvious where that is!”

“Hey!!”

Before Liu and Rain could even chase after him, Namgoong Min slipped out of the restaurant in a somewhat unnatural way.

Could he already be enchanted by the audacious violent seductress?

Sighing deeply, Liu muttered.

“Looks like I need to keep him in the display case…”

“Looks like I need to put him in the cage…”

At the same moment that Rain sighed in sync, their expressions turned to annoyance as if the overlap of their words offended them.

But, they couldn’t help but be aware of each other’s words.

“…What do you mean by cage?”

“What do you mean by display case?”

They both growled at each other.

Just like when they were young, and just like now.

*

“…Is this enough?”

“Yes, thank you for accompanying me.”

“Not at all.”

After running for a few minutes outside the building, confirming that Liu and Rain weren’t chasing after them, he let the Crown Princess down.

The dizziness had been a lie, so there was no need to go to the hospital.

Anyway, he had just said anything urgently to escape.

“I’m sorry, but I need to go on a date with Liu. What’s all this urgent talk about…?”

“…Namgoong Min, listen carefully.”

“Oh, okay.”

“Run.”

“………What?”

One was a cage, the other was a display case.

Kim Eun-ha muttered words that didn’t make sense with a determined expression on her face as she grabbed his hand.

“Let’s escape together, Namgoong Min.”

“Uh, Crown Princess?”

“Quickly from those crazy girls…!”

I mean, it’s rather a ridiculous statement, but…

Her eyes were bloodshot red and she genuinely looked insane, didn’t she?

But why was the princess alone in Italy!? Did she not have any attendants nearby?

“Crown Princess, but how did you even get here…?”

“That’s not important right now!”

“Uh, okay.”

“I’m taking off, so run!”

Her strength was astonishing.

With one hand, she lightly tugged both of his and began running away.

Feeling that resisting would shatter his wrists, he gave up on understanding and followed the crown princess when…
