Chapter 251-No. One Week Only
“You took it off while you were sleeping because it was hot..?”
She was at a loss for what to say, and when she asked casually, Maria nodded her head.
“How can I undress naturally in this narrow bed?”
If she moved just a little, would her elbow break against the wall?
“When I fall asleep, my consciousness becomes hazy. He must have woken up and was in a hazy state when he took them off.”
After answering that, Maria began to put on her clothes as if it were nothing special.
“Master. Let’s get up first to prepare breakfast. Master, please rest a little longer and then come out.”
Maria left her seat like that.
I blankly looked at the place where Maria had left.
* * *
While eating breakfast, he cracked up.
Because of the shocking events that unfolded right after waking up, she couldn’t possibly put anything in her mouth.
After the meal, she took Kara out of her house. The destination is a famous fortune teller in Kalita. It’s natural to say it’s a famous fortune teller, but it’s run by a fortune teller belonging to Agnes’ sisters.
In the first place, on the floor, you can’t do business unless you belong to Agnes’ sisters.
Do people treat you like a quack?
Well, if I had to choose between a store with and without an official license, I would choose the former.
“Is there a fortune teller in a place like this?”
Kara looked around and said.
“A place like this?”
“That, why? A fortune teller has a mysterious image, right? That’s why I thought it would be in an embarrassing alley…”
Kara closed her mouth as she looked at the colorful signboard in front of her.
Huh. I know what you want to say.
The fortune teller, which should have a mysterious image, is located in the middle of the road, and it is gorgeous, so the illusion is broken, right?
But Kara.
“A famous fortune teller doesn’t have to hide in an embarrassing place. Rather, the business is going well, but isn’t the shop hiding in an embarrassing place suspicious? You mean there’s something going on in the business openly.”
“It’s… It’s…”
Kara lowered her head in agreement.
Maybe it’s because he learned the world through fairy tales, so he has a lot of strange fantasies. I’m glad I’m not stubborn.
Calming down a depressed Kara, I entered her fortune teller.
The inside of the fortune teller was quite dark with no windows.
The only light source was the candles placed all over the place.
I’m fine with getting into the dark quickly, but not Kara. She tried to look in front of her, squinting her eyes.
“Follow me.”
He smiled and held her hand. It was when she sat Kara down in front of the table in the center of the fortune teller.
The crystal ball above the table suddenly emitted a bright light.
In the light, her face popped out.
“Come on-“
“Kyaaak?!”
Baka-!
Kara’s fist slammed squarely into her fortune teller’s face. The fortuneteller fell behind her and rolled across her floor. And I couldn’t get up again.
She wasn’t dead, she fainted for a moment.
You can be sure you can hear the sound of your breath.
“…Don’t you punch too much?”
“I couldn’t help it. I was surprised!”
“I saw you stretch your fist first.”
I saw exactly
Kara stretched out her fist first, then she shuddered as she screamed in surprise.
In other words, it means that you just hit the fortuneteller.
And in the first place, Kara couldn’t be surprised at such a simple prank.
She also has a keen sense.
He must have known from the beginning that a fortune teller was sitting across from him.
“… Did you notice?”
Kara scratched her head with an embarrassed expression.
I knew it.
“What did you hit me for?”
“Because of the fortune-telling atmosphere.”
“How is the atmosphere in the shop? Isn’t that the kind of atmosphere you’d like? It is mysterious.”
At that, Kara shook her head with a solemn expression.
“What if only the inside is mysterious? The outside appearance is lousy. I’m just pissed off for doing that when my expectations have already dropped!”
Kara made all sorts of gestures with her arms, giving her impassioned speech.
Then she looked at me with a look like ‘You understand?’
I sighed and nodded.
“Huh.”
I don’t get it at all.
* * *
“Hmmmm…!”
The fortune teller who had woken up from fainting continued to clear his throat with a very displeased face. At the same time, he keeps touching her nose and is openly asking for money for treatment.
Hey, my kid hit me so well that he didn’t even leave a single wound. Isn’t that overdoing it?
To say that, the fault of my child who hit the bread first was too great.
I obediently took out her purse and handed it to her.
“It’s Bokbi.”
The fortune teller quickly snatched it away and looked inside her purse. She opened her eyes for a moment, then smiled softly.
“Welcome to Alina’s fortune teller. Guests.”
As a result of pouring 20 gold, we were able to become guests again from assaulters.
Oh, of course, with Kara’s apology preceded.
If you just hand out money without an apology, you won’t get that kind of expression.
“What did you two come here for fortune-telling? To check compatibility? Or marriage luck? Or is it because the child doesn’t fit well? Just say anything Because this Alina will tell you everything.”
“Anything?”
“Yes. Anything!”
Perhaps because of the 20 gold she received earlier, Alina was very motivated.
Maybe this will make things easier.
“Before you speak, can you promise me one thing? It’s not difficult. Just keep quiet about what we are saying from now on.”
“That’s natural. Secrecy is a virtue of a fortuneteller. This is a pretty absolute rule, and if you don’t follow it, you’ll be excommunicated from Agnes’ sisters. Even if the guest was human trash like a serial killer. So don’t worry and tell me!”
“Oh yeah?”
Then there is nothing to shy away from.
I chined Kara. She told what she felt her needs, and what she had done.
.

.
.

“…That’s how it happened.”
“…”
When the story was over, Alina was staring at her floor with her whitened face. Her body trembled, holding her arms and legs together. She said in a trembling voice, returning her purse that I had given her earlier.
“I-I’m sorry… Can I pretend I didn’t hear it…?”
Well, it can’t be easy after all.
With both hands, I held her purse and Alina’s hands together and pushed them away slowly. He smiled and met her trembling eyes.
“From the moment it left my hands, this money was not my money. So I can’t take it.”
Alina shook her head as if telling her not to do this.
I nodded her head saying okay.
Then she shook her head more desperately.
At that, I couldn’t help but sigh.
“Teacher is not only good at fortune-telling, but also good at business. I lost.”
Alina’s expression brightened.
His expression darkened again as I took out the new 5 gold. She looked at me with eyes asking what this was.
“Cancer, I lost. Originally, the one who is in a hurry should bow down. Not like that.”
Alina’s eyes trembled.
“I… Why are you doing this to me… I, I have lived a good life without doing anything really bad…”
“Ah… Are you still lacking? Yeah, I’m bleeding a little bit more, but… I can’t help it. Can I save money on getting help from a teacher?”
I took out 5 more gold.
“Ha, can’t you just look at it once? I’m just plain-“
I took out 5 more gold.
“Ah… Uh… Ah…”
I took out 5 more gold.
No, now I took out a slightly larger money bag to pour out all the money I brought. As I was about to put it on the table, Alina’s hand grabbed my arm.
“…What is it?”
“That… Stop…”
“Stop it? You haven’t taken on the work yet, so how can I stop?”
“Ha, I will. No, please let me do it. I will definitely do it!”
Alina exclaimed earnestly.
It will be soon.
I put back the money bag I had taken out.
* * *
“That, that’s why…”
“Don’t keep talking back and tell me properly.”
It is the 10th minute that the Seon dialogue will continue.
Realizing that she could no longer linger in the meteor’s gaze, Alina closed her eyes and said.
“Mo, I don’t know!”
Ah. She said.
I should never have said this, but I said it.
Alina bowed her head.
Wiggling her fingers, she waited for Yoosung and Kara’s reaction.
“…Is this a 40 gold fortune teller?”
Yooseong’s eyes narrowed.
Alina’s heart skipped a beat at the sound of her voice full of disappointment.
In fact, the current situation is unfair to her. Didn’t Yooseong force her to refuse the job?
But those things were of no use to Alina now.
‘Am I dying of silence now? So vain?’
If I knew it would be like this, I would date a boyfriend and play while playing!
What kind of wealth did you live while studying to enjoy a movie..!
It was a time when resentment ran deep into the bones.
Lightning flashed in her head.
It came to mind
A way to survive while paying for money!
Alina hastily rose from her seat.
She took out a piece of paper and a pen and scribbled down on her paper. A candle was the only source of light for her paper, but she never got a single word wrong.
The human survival instinct is so great.
Alina folded the paper she had written down and handed it to Yuseong.
“This?”
“This is a letter of recommendation I wrote. If you have this, my master at the Sisters of Agnes headquarters will help you.”
The method she came up with was to hand it over to her master.
‘I’m sorry, Master. But I have to live too.’
I’m sure Master will understand.
Alina decided to think so.
“Head office?”
“Among the sisters of Agnes, this is where the high-ranking people live. My teacher is also a high-ranking person! Maybe the head office can figure it out.”
“Where is the headquarters?”
“Imperial capital.”
Yooseong’s brow narrowed. Alina thought for a moment that she had done something wrong, but when she saw Yoosung’s expression when she returned, she realized that it wasn’t.
“Okay. If that’s the case, I’ll be grateful.”
Yuseong and Kara turned her back on her.
“Yes..!”
Oh, you’re finally going
It was when Alina was relieved internally.
Yooseong suddenly looked back and said.
“You didn’t forget to keep quiet about today’s work, did you?”
“Yes yes!”
“Good. If you keep that, we won’t see you again.”
Yoosung left with a smile.
Alina, with her goosebumps, slumped back in her chair.
“…Should I close it?”
Is it a fortune teller or what, just beat them all up?
Alina thought that in her heart.
Only in your mind.
No matter how much she wanted to beat her up, she couldn’t stop doing fortune-telling.
I still have a lot of student loan debt left.
