Chapter 138: House of Divination
Done with my shift, I moved to the waiting room.
There I found Saria and Al taking a break as well.
「Ah, Seiichi! Good job out there~!」
「Yeah, you did great.」
I took off the mantle that I had on and let a single sigh escape.
「Phew……………I’ll go die for a bit!」
「Hold on hold on hold on!」
As I said that and tried to jump out the window, Al stopped with all of her power.
「Why’d you say sothing so outrageous with such a refreshing smile!?」
「Let go, Al! It’s already hopeless… such a cringe line……. UGGAAAAHHH!!!! KILL EEEEE!!!!」
「Calm down, idiot! You’re not the only one bearing the sha here, too! In fact, who can even kill you anyway!?」
「Good point!」
「Eh, you’re at that level!?」
Helen was wide-eyed as she heard the banter between and Al.
DAMN IT AAAALLLLL! Even though I wanted to erase that shaful mory by ending my life! I didn’t think my body would hinder in such a way….! Thank you very much for saving all the ti! But, can you just let take the controls for a bit?
In fact, in the off-chance that I did die, how do I put it…. I feel like Heaven, Hell, and especially Netherworld-san would say 『Ah, please don’t co here』 to and would just straight deny my death, leaving to continue to live. Or rather, it is also the sad truth that I can no longer be surprised by that much. I-, I can still die from old age, right!? Please, I ask of you, as a single human!
Having cald down a bit after Al held back, I muttered wearily.
「Just who was it… the idiot who suggested doing a Cosplay Cafe…. I’ll kill him…」
「「「Seiichi」」」
「Gohuk!」
I punched my own face with all I had. Yeah, it was all my fault.
「Well, ain’t it fine. Umm… you were cool, you know…?」
「Yeah, yeah, you look so good, Seiichi!」
「Al…. Saria…」
And the two of them comforted the likes of .
…Sure, there was no doubt that it was embarrassing as hell, but I was glad that the students that visited our cafe still smiled and enjoyed their ti here.
It was also nice to see a new side, or rather, a new appearance of Saria and the girls…. At the end of the day, I was happy with the result.
After sighed for the second ti, I put on a bitter smile.
「If you two said that to , then I can’t say anything further…. thanks.」
「Yeah! Let’s do our best for the next shift!」
「Yosh, I’ll go die for a bit after all.」
Reminded that there were still works to do, I went to flee from the scene, only to be held down by Al and Saria.
◆◇◆
「Heeh…. The students sure do a lot of different programs, looking at them like this.」
「You’re right~. Ah, that looks delicious!」
After I sohow went through all my shifts, bearing unspeakable sha in the while, I was now looking around the school with Saria.
Al and the other girls were either looking around with different pairs or still not finished with their shifts.
I had never been able to properly enjoy a school festival during my middle school and high school on Earth, mostly because I was bullied, but once I looked around like this, I felt a festive energy different than ones at sumr festivals and such.
The food the students sold was reasonably tasty.
Ti to ti, Saria and I stopped by a food stall to get so and continued our walk with food in hand, until we passed by a certain booth.
「House of Divination?」
「Heeh…. so they do fortune telling too.」
It was sothing for an Academy Festival after all, I wasn’t sure how serious they were with it. But, still, it sounded interesting. After all, I never had my fortune told back on Earth.
「While it is a special occasion anyway, let’s give it a try.」
「Yeah!」
The House of Divination that took one whole classroom for itself was dark inside, with the windows covered with black curtains and so violet light motes floating around.
「Aah, welco to my House of Divination…. Please, take a seat.」
Prompted by a person dressed in a hooded robe so their face was unseen, Saria and I sat down in front of another person dressed in a robe more lavish than their peers.
There was a crystal sitting in front of that person, which I presu would be used for the divination.
「Thank you for coming. Now, what shall I divine for you? The affinity between you two? Your future? Or your essence?」
「Umm……」
It seed like they could divine more than I expected, so I involuntarily fell into a thought.
Saria, then, raised her hand.
「Here! Then, please tell the affinity between Seiichi and I!」
「Saria?」
「Ehehehe. I wonder how will it be? Ah, Seiichi, what will you have?」
Since Saria would have our affinity divined, I would give more thought into this.
「Hmm…. Then, the Essence? thing please.」
I understood what Affinity and Future ant to express, but I couldn’t put my finger on the Essence thingy, so I chose it.
「I understand…. I have received your order. If so, then I shall start with the missy and divine the affinity between you two….!」
Saying so, the lavish-robe person put both of their hands——not on the crystal, but on our heads.
「KIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK!!!」
「You’re not using the crystal!?」
「I’ve seen it!」
「And fast!?」
Ignoring my situational retort, the robed student opened their mouth in excitent.
「Your affinity is as high as can be! Or rather, I have never seen a pair with such a high affinity before! Your future together is stable and bright ahead! May you eternally explode, damn it!」
「That’s way too unreasonable!」
I can’t tell if you’re blessing us or cursing us with that!
However, being told that Saria and I had an excellent affinity was…. it makes happy. No, it makes super happy.
When I unconsciously shifted my gaze to Saria, she also looked at , and showed a little smile shyly.
「Ehehe… we’re always going to be together, right!」
「…That’s right.」
No matter what happens, Saria and I will always be together.
Just by thinking that again made glad to co here.
「Nn! Ahem, ahem! Can you please stop pulling your lovey dovey card here!?」
「Ah, I-, I’m sorry….」
I didn’t an to be lovey-dovey, but… I understand, I’m reflecting on it.
「Well, fine enough…. Now, I shall look into the essence of the man.」
「P-, please do.」
The robed student this ti didn’t even put their hand on my head, they just stared into my face. No, you really don’t use the crystal? It’s quite big, you know?
「I’ve seen it!」
「So you don’t use the crystal after all…」
「wait——HHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!?!?!?!?」
「Eh?」
The robed person that had been staring at my face made a startled expression then backed away with trendous vigor.
「W-, what even are you!? You’re, like…. I don’t even know how to phrase it, you’re just absurd! It’s like every possibility in the na of 【Human】 is cramd inside a single vessel, and yet that vessel is deviating from the principle of this world…. Nay, not even that. You’re a single individual secluded from the other innurable worlds and dinsions as an 【Individual】 of a higher tier!? Aah, fuck! My vocab is too limited to explain! Or rather, who can even explain this!? What are you even expecting from so student’s booth for a freaking Academy Festival!?」
「F-, forgive !?」
I didn’t know for sure, but I got scolded. No, really, I don’t know what happened.
Also, for soone who says it’s just sothing for the Academy Festival, aren’t you doing a surprisingly good divination?
「A-, at any rate! I can’t divine you any further! Or rather, nobody can! You at least need a True God……Hmmmm!? E-, even a True God can’t!?!? THEN WHAT THE HELL IS HE!!!!」
「「……」」
Looking at the hooded student grasping their head in frustration, Saria and I exchanged looks.
Staying here any further wouldn’t do anything good, so we paid for the divination and sneaked out together.
