Chapter 363 – #2-34 Magical Girls Say They Investigate (3)
“Uhh~ Thank you, thank you! I’m going to help you when you almost got caught by the uncle and dragged away, and he gave you the money instead, plus this meat skewer! Thank you so much, veri berry berry!”
“Ah, yes…”
“Woohoo, you’re saying that you’re greedy too? I know you want to monopolize it because you have such a pretty and sweet wife, but no matter how you do it, the violent act at the end is NG. You’re too much for a girl. Don’t you think so?”
“…”
‘Really, it’s a waste of looks. He’s a pretty person, but…’
Anyway, he is a sad person.
A restaurant located around the outskirts of the market.
Dan-ae and I sat face to face with the Chinese-style woman who caused a commotion a while ago, and had a moderate meal.
In moderation, though, it was a whole chicken-like thing, and it was spectacular to see several skewers lined up.
The man who prepared the dish, wondering if it could be eaten by three women, also looked at it wide-eyed, but looking at the way she slicing the meat with great enthusiasm, it seems that this Chinese-style woman is also quite a glutton.
“But didn’t you already eat a little while ago? Are you still in?”
“Umm~ um uh um um um um um um um um um um um um um um!”
“…Sorry. Eat everything and tell me…”
Dan-ae said with the tip of her lips hanging down.
It seems that she doesn’t know how to deal with even the most impudent Dan-ae.
Like that, both Danae and I eagerly ate the meat and finished the meal.
“Ah~ I ate well. I received grace~ I received grace. This grace will not exist, two beautiful people!”
Where did all that food go? A Chinese-style woman who was still patting her slim stomach and talking as if she was satisfied.
“I didn’t even say his name. My name is Hwaran, how about you, may I ask for the names of the two of you?”
“My name is Kay.”
“…Sweetheart.”
“As expected, Kei and Danae. Nice names for both of you! I think you will be impressed! Good good! By the way, Kei and Dan Ae-ra… Hmm… Hmm…?”
Hwaran, a Chinese-style woman, suddenly started stroking her chin as she chanted our name.
What? Was there anything that would make our names known?
‘…Ah, the casino!’
Come to think of it, it’s a fake identity, but the name must have been exposed.
If she’s hit something wanted at that casino, and our names are on it… Then I can understand this woman’s reaction as she’s trying to come up with something.
I squeezed her fists under the table, nervously, and I don’t know what Dan-ae is thinking, but she’s looking at Hwa-ran with her cold eyes.
How long has it been like that?
“Um… Nice name! The name is so pretty that I was even impressed. Whoops, good stuff. Kay, dear. Yes. Ok, ok very good.”
Clap clap, Hwaran clapping their hands in a good mood.
I don’t know what the hell is so good about…
Dan-ae let out a sigh as if embarrassed by that species’ incomprehensible response.
“Yeah, I get it. She finished eating more than that, so can we have a serious talk now?”
“Hmm? Story? What do you want to hear from me, who has a reputation for being empty-headed and doesn’t know anything? I was willing to take responsibility for the grace of a meal and pay with this female body and uselessly soft breasts, but…”
“Great. I don’t know how you intend to pay, but shall we talk on the bed?”
Dan-ae wants you to shut up.
I know that this woman, both male and female, is a carnivore, but what is she doing like a man starving for a woman? It’s like it keeps clinging to me.
‘I’m sleeping, and I’m sucking on it… And so on…’
Is it craving?
Frustration, this guy?
“…Just kidding. Since Kay stepped up to help you in the first place, I think you two should discuss it in more detail. Kay, what whim did she save this woman from?”
“Hey. You keep saying this woman, this woman, but since I’m a masochist, I like it when people treat me harshly. So, when you say something nice, call me by a harsher title!”
“What should you do with this fucking crazy bitch, Kay! Why did you ask to save a bitch like this!”
“Aaaaa! Sweet! Selling in an instant! That look of contempt! Kyaaak?! The best! From the hair on my head to the hair on my feet, it feels like electricity is going through it!”
…I think it’s true that she’s a really crazy woman.
I put my forehead on my forehead and sighed.
“…Uh, there… That’s it.”
Dan-ae seems to think that I brought this woman because I had some idea.
Of course, he did not pay for this woman’s meal out of simple goodwill.
The problems of the people of this planet should be solved by the people of this planet, and it is ridiculous that I am doing this because I cannot take care of myself right away and cannot return to my home planet.
There is a reason for helping this woman.
But.
If there is a problem.
“That’s… It’s just… The back of her neck is sore…”
――The reason for this is that I myself do not know.
“The back of your neck? Huh? What do you mean? Is it a new pervert term? Table talk only between same-sex people? I’ve only been traveling recently, so I’m out of fashion, so I wonder if there’s a new word I don’t know about? Nonsense! What a deplorable life it is to be swept away by fashion! I need to calm down by touching my soft breasts!”
“Please do it in moderation…”
Really I think I made the wrong choice.
It always is. Bad luck.
The reason why the back of my neck was sore was because I had a bad posture somewhere. When I go back to Earth, I should start with a neck disc test.
I thought so as I entered the state of liberation, but Dan-ae was looking at my face surprisingly seriously.
“You can trust Kay’s intuition. She said that if Kay felt something, she had something.”
“So, Mr. Hwaran. Do you have anything to say or anything special to say? Any guesses?”
Dan-ae asked as if questioning.
Hwaran was lost in her thoughts for a moment as she massaged her own breasts through the clinging cheongsam.
Then, she opened her mouth as if thinking of something.
“No!”
Is there no…
But why did he look like he remembered something, annoyingly.
As if her Dan-ae was also disappointed, she moved the cup of tea to her mouth.
It’s a unique tea that I’ve never tasted on Earth, but I honestly don’t know what’s different from green tea or roundworm tea as I’ve never had the habit of drinking tea.
By the way.
After all, she must have been a meeting that meant nothing to this woman. Is that sore throat just like a herniated disc?
I’m too stupid to rely on something I can’t trust like a persimmon.
‘I can’t gamble now.’
There was a time when I hit the jackpot with just this feeling at the casino, so I must have been arrogant without even realizing it.
I thought so.
“But there are things I can give you even if you don’t have money.”
What?
Across the field of vision, Hwaran was laughing.
He smiles calmly as if he has become a different person.
“I mean, I know how to read fortunes as a hobby, even if it’s like this?”
“So, I want you to allow me to do fortune telling for the two of you.”
“How are you, are you interested?”
Dan-ae and I looked at each other for a moment, then nodded toward Hwaran.
* * *
Talking to the store clerk, we entered a partitioned area like a private room.
I didn’t want to tell our story, and it was also requested by Hwaran.
Is it necessary to create an atmosphere?
In any case, the Dutch will do their divination for us here.
“Well, to be honest, Kei, Dan-ae, the names are so pretty that I was already doing a bit of divination. But in my head.”
“Something, invasion of privacy… More than that, no one said our names were pretty.”
“Because only those who care care.”
Chow-
Rice-like grains lined up on the table.
It was taken out of the large backpack that Hwaran was carrying on his back.
It looks very similar to rice, but I feel that the scent and shape are slightly different.
“Even divination isn’t all-powerful, so don’t expect too much.”
“Well… I’ll take that into account.”
“I don’t know what Kei is like, but in my opinion, it’s honestly superstitious to call a fortune. She thinks it’s just advice and listens. Don’t worry, quack.”
My words, followed by Dan-ae’s words, must have touched the heart, and Hwaran’s eyebrows twitched and moved.
Was it too rude? I openly declared that I would not believe in front of the best fortune telling.
But he didn’t seem angry about it.
“I am not talking about the accuracy of divination. …I’m just saying that I can’t tell you everything even if I know it because I have to maintain the right balance, neither too much nor too little.”
Uh… Something is a little hard to understand. I won’t understand it though.
However, with the grains lined up and lighting a fire with something like a thin scented candle between my fingers before I knew it, the atmosphere seemed different from before.
“…”
Dan-ae also kept her mouth shut and remained silent.
The bustle of the store could be heard from the other side of the door.
And this place seemed to be in a completely different world due to the scent of scented candles, smoke, and silence.
――’The foundation of everything is the atmosphere.’
I remember Hwaran saying that.
No, well… For me who didn’t believe in divination in the first place, it seemed like nothing more than a gimmick to make it easy to believe anything.
“…Hmm. Great.”
How long did the silence last?
“Then, I will tell you what I can teach you now.”
Hwaran broke the silence and turned his gaze from looking down at the grains to us.
“I was going to ask about what I was curious about, what I wanted to be told about, but… These are difficult to answer anyway, right?”
“…”
“It’s okay. Because I wouldn’t bother asking. Even if I didn’t ask, I could tell that much by point. Now, that’s what I’m going to teach you now.”
Woo-wook.
Hwaran extinguished the embers that were burning at the end of the incense candle.
Only smoke rose from the tip of the scented candle.
“First. Don’t worry. Back street. I can meet you.”
“Second. Colleagues of the trend. Danger. Isolation. I will move to rescue you.”
“Third. Homecoming. Don’t worry. Do what you desperately need to do. All the hard work will eventually lead to the most correct result.”
Hwaran laughed as he tapped between the rolling grains of rice.
It was a light and spicy smile, different from the solemn atmosphere from before.
“It’s over. No questions, no additional explanations. At least it was kind of generous ♪”
