Sleepyhead Sees You From 100 Days Ago 72

Chapter 72 – Chapter 3: Fall Festival – 2

I went outside with Uncle Posao.

This ‘festival’ suited us better than the boring and boring ‘banquet’.

I was worried that I would stand out by wearing my banquet dress.

Luckily, this outfit wasn’t as flashy as I thought, so I was able to blend in with the crowd easily.

We walked around the streets without worrying about what anyone thought.

It was okay for the man to stutter while buying rye bread, and no one would look at him strangely even if he ate it without a fork or knife.

Even without polite greetings, the people at the festival treated us like old friends.

I looked around the streets happily.

There was a store selling strange hats and masks.

After seeing the magic performance there, the man was amazed and asked if this type of magic existed.

Fool. Anyway, it’s all a trick.

I also saw a store displaying unusual fish.

I stuck my head out to see what was in the tank, and the fish suddenly splashed the water and screamed.

The man wiped my wet dress and laughed unpleasantly.

Next, I went to a store that told fortunes using cards.

Since the man seemed very interested, she decided to take a look.

Inside was a young woman wearing a deeply veiled.

A mysterious voice asked us.

“What fate have you come to see?”

The man scratched his head and answered.

“Well, I’m trying to see my luck in love…”

“You came to see your love luck?”

“Yes… Ugh.”

“Then, you two, please sit down.”

What, what what what?!

I thought there might be a misunderstanding, so I quickly waved my hand.

“Now, wait a minute! I didn’t come to see your love luck, just this guy…”

“Then only men should come in. Why did you come in together?”

“I just wanted to watch from the side… Ahaha-.”

“Whatever the intention, it was fate that brought us together to this sacred place. Please take a seat.”

“… Yes.”

I had no choice but to sit side by side with the man.

“I’ll tell you my luck in love.”

The fortune-teller closed his eyes and picked up his pack of cards. And then he spread it out on the table.

He muttered something and started to mix things up.

As I hummed the song in a low tone, I felt something very mysterious.

Eventually, he gathered the shuffled cards with skill.

A card was held out in front of us with only the back side visible.

“Two people. Please pick four cards each.”

First, the man pulled out a card with trembling hands.

I also drew the same card.

“Don’t check it, just put it down on the table.”

I put down the card I received.

The fortune-teller started arranging the cards one by one on the table.

It’s shaped like an H.

My three cards are on the far right.

Uncle Posao’s cards were placed vertically, three at a time, on the left end.

Lastly, place the two sheets facing each other in the center.

The fortune-teller rolled up his sleeves.

“Let’s see – let’s look at the past of the two people first.”

Palak-.

The uncle’s card and my card were transferred at the same time.

The fortuneteller who saw the card exclaimed as if it was interesting.

“Oh!”

It was a picture of three swords sticking into a bright red heart.

“Three swords. “Do you hate the world?”

“Boo…”

The man didn’t answer, but the fortuneteller explained as if he already knew.

“‘Three swords’ piercing the heart. One is the woman he loved. The other is people. The last one belongs to the woman I am currently in love with. “You’ve received so much hate so far.”

“…”

“And that girl over there looks like a hedgehog.”

“Yes?”

“‘The boy with the sword’. There is nothing more dangerous than a sword held by a clumsy person. Look. You’re looking like you’re about to cut the person next to you at any moment. “It means there is a man I don’t like.”

It really looked that way.

The picture of a boy holding a sword and glaring was no different from my old self-dealing with Uncle Posao.

“But this is just the past. It’s important from now on. Now let’s see what the two of them are thinking.”

Palak-.

As if the feelings I wanted to hide are unfolding.

The uncle’s card has been revealed.

It was a painting of a naked man and woman.

But the card was turned upside down.

“It’s called ‘a lover turned upside down.’ You still don’t like it. This world? Or people? Unless that too. What made you so jealous?”

“Oh, is it bad…? ?”

“No. ‘Jealousy’ sometimes creates a strong fighting spirit. This strong feeling of jealousy may be the driving force behind finding a new lover.”

Palak-.

Next, my card was revealed.

A child riding a white horse, with a strong sun drawn on it.

“‘Sun’. Unlike this man, you are a very kind and innocent girl. “I never would have thought that even though I hated him so much, he would try to give me new hope again.”

“What does it mean?”

“The sun dispels darkness. He wakes up an aardvark sleeping in the cold shade, shines light on a hermit hiding in a dark house, and is willing to become a bright hope for those in the dark. The same goes for the man right next to you. “You want to be the sun and guide this person.”

“…”

That was correct.

I hoped that this man, who had been discriminated against and ignored for a long time and became a loner, would become brave and get along well with other people.

So, I personally taught him swordsmanship.

She also promised to teach him how to treat women.

“Next, we will see how much the two love their lovers.”

My card was all over the place.

It was a picture of a woman holding a cane and wearing a laurel wreath.

“‘Empress’! That’s interesting. You will become the ideal woman for your lover and embrace everything with her big heart. Even if the man escapes because his enemies frame him. You have the determination and courage to resolutely defeat your enemies with the grace of an empress. She will take good care of her husband.”

“…”

I was embarrassed and lowered my head.

I’m protecting Ritz?

She thought Ritz protected me…

When she gets married, does she become the opposite?

Palak-.

The man’s card showed an old man holding a lantern standing upside down.

“‘The inverted hermit’. Deep darkness is bound to seep into those who hide from the world for a long time. How long has he been living in his own world with the door firmly locked? Even if the dazzling sun comes one day and timidly knocks on your door…”

Suddenly, the fortune-teller stuck his head out in front of the man.

“You will drag even the ‘sun’ into a dark and gloomy house and extinguish its brilliant light.”

Uncle Posao’s face became stiff with fear.

I felt like I needed to say something, so I hurriedly intervened.

“Hey fortune-teller-. You’re not that dark of a person. Ahaha-. Actually, we came from far away. “If he had been stuck at home, how would he have come all this way?”

“…”

The fortune-teller stared at me and then sat down again.

“I’ll move on. Let’s take a look at their future.”

A situation where all six cards on both ends are spread out.

Now only the two cards in the center remain.

Palak-.

The uncle’s card was unfolded.

It was a painting of a nobleman holding a falcon in his arms and nine gold coins on either side.

“‘Nine gold coins.’ If you are in any business, you will be very successful. Also, if there is something you have wanted for a long time, it will come true soon. “If only I could tame that innocent ‘hawk’ on my arm.”

“That’s good, mister-! The business will be more successful!”

“Uh, uhm…”

Palak-.

My cards were spread out.

It was a picture of a red-haired queen holding a sword with her stern face.

“This… ?”

The fortune-teller who had been interpreting the cards without hesitation until now stopped talking for a moment.

It was a strange thing.

Even though her face was hidden behind a veil, it was noticeable that she was very embarrassed.

After a while, the fortuneteller spoke again.

“‘Queen with a sword’. Although she will be lonely and struggle through harsh trials, she will eventually find her own justice and establish her new kingdom.”

“… ?”

The fortune-teller looked straight at me.

“You will gradually discover who you are.”

“That… “Isn’t that obvious?”

“But that’s all I can say. “I have never seen a fortune-telling like this before.”

The fortune-teller drew a card from her deck.
And she inserted the last one into the empty center.

“This is my advice for you two. What will come out?”

Palak-.

As soon as she saw the card, her breath stopped.
The three eyes stopped there as if they had become a painting.

It wasn’t anything particularly strange.

Even just by looking at the nosebleed, I could tell that it was an ominous card.

“Death.”

A skeleton knight riding a white horse.

He is holding a black flag with a rose engraved on it.

There are countless people lying bleeding on the ground.

‘Death’ appeared as a card of advice?

As if this was also unexpected, the fortuneteller was silent for a long time.

In the suffocating tension.

The fortune-teller said quietly.

“I see.”

“… Yes?”

“What can I tell you about the fate of these two people? There is only one thing called ‘death.'”

On a celestial body with a total of 9 cards.

The fortune-teller explained quietly.

“All these alignments and interpretations… It is completed with just one death.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Man.”

The fortune-teller glared at Uncle Posao.

“If you truly want to achieve your goal, defeat this Skeleton Knight with your own strength. When you do that. Because the sun rising behind these two towers will finally shine on you.”

“… Ah, I understand.”

He was a fortune-teller whose last advice was incomprehensible.

“I’ll leave it here.”

Slurp-!

The cards that had predicted our fate until now were all mixed up and disappeared.

The man took out a coin bag.

“Look, how much is Bokchae…?” .”

“There is no need.”

The fortune-teller pointed outside.

“You two should leave immediately because it’s unfair.”

We had to leave the store as if we were being kicked out.

The man must have been displeased with the contents of the fortune-telling, so he continued to sweat with a stern expression on his face.

“That’s Okay. Don’t worry too much -. “I watched it for fun anyway.”

“Yes…”

“The divination is up to interpretation. Even if the result is the same, each fortune-teller will say something different, right? So there’s no need to be offended by something like that.”

Originally, I heard that fortune-tellers always spoke firmly to men and softly to women.

That way, next time, the woman will encourage you to go see your fortune.

It’s a kind of commercial tactic.

Plus, it’s a benefit because you can watch it for free without having to pay for it!

As I walked down the street for a bit, I came across an area where people were setting up and selling things.

I pulled the man’s arm.

“Look over there! It’s a night market! Shall we go eat something?”

“Yeah, yeah. Then!”

Forget about feeling bad.

We excitedly ran to the night market.
