152 – 31. The Fortune Teller’s Past
A story of a family’s tragedy.
As soon as the moderator finished speaking, Eunha Kim got up from her seat.
“I can’t listen to you anymore.”
“Huh…?”
“Arbitrator, I told you clearly. Just keep your mouth shut and go away.”
“……………….”
“If you continue like this until the end, I have no choice but to respond properly.”
“Aren’t you curious?”
“You probably already answered it, right? It seems like this is a meaningless question and answer.”
While Kim Eun-ha, with a hostile expression on her face, glared at the mediator.
Rein Arthur also sighed and stood up.
“Arbitrator, I have heard of the false names of the three imperial consuls.”
“Is that so?”
“But this case has crossed a line. It seems like you don’t know anything about the relationship between me and Namgoong Min.”
“Well? Actually, I think you’re the funniest.”
“What…?”
At the mediator’s incomprehensible words, Raine opens her eyes and releases her supernatural powers little by little.
Eileen, who was listening to their argument, quietly opened her mouth.
“Honestly, even though I’m a non-believer, this sounds appealing.”
“Is that so?”
“Mr. Eileen?”
“You…?”
“I listen to what people say… But that’s just it. I’m attracted to it, but it’s not enough to change my faith.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“What value is there in stories about the past that Namgoong Min doesn’t tell us directly? And that too through the mouth of someone like you.”
“You speak aggressively.”
“Well, since I can clearly see your true nature, I don’t think it’s wrong, do you?”
Saint’s job skill, .
Aileen, who read the arbitrator’s mind with that skill, scoffed.
“I wonder what the same fanatics are acting like.”
“……………….”
I don’t know who the ‘being’ in the mediator’s mind is.
From Noble mtl dot com
Unfortunately, the mediator has as strong a faith as Aileen and the saint have for Namgoong Min.
Knowing this well, Eileen laughed at the mediator who was ‘pretending’ to be an ordinary person.
And.
“……Ha.”
Unlike usual, Liu, who listened calmly to everything, soon took out a dagger from his pocket and struck it on the table.
Kwasik!
Everyone’s eyes are focused on Rio due to his strong actions.
Liu, with his feet crossed on the table, crossed his arms and glanced at the moderator.
“Hey, you b*tch who is a mediator and all.”
“What is it?”
“Did you think that if you used the courtesy item as bait, I would gently follow you? Well, you’re not wrong, but.”
Liu, who was laughing self-deprecatingly, pulled out his dagger, , And aimed it with a truly arrogant expression.
The rich man who doubts everything revealed his doubts again this time.
“It’s funny that you’re suddenly talking about that fortune teller, but what? The past? Do you think there’s someone here who doesn’t know that?”
“Well, do you guys know?”
“Even if you don’t know, you don’t have the right to say it. Of course, we don’t either.”
“Then…?”
“……The answer is obvious.”
Just a moment.
Liu hesitated for a moment.
He declared with a determined expression, as if he had made up his mind.
“Only you can talk about your past.”
“Don’t you have any doubts?”
“If you think about it that way, I have to be suspicious of what you say. And…”
“………?”
“…I can trust that fortune teller. That’s all.”
Liu Yan talks about trust.
Because everyone here knew how ridiculous that was.
Even though I thought it would be true deep down, it has a different weight when Liu, the person involved, says it directly.
As Lane, Eunha, and Eileen see Rio again.
Only the arbitrator did not erase his sly smile.
“Oh, can I also receive your trust?”
“f*ck you, b*tch. There’s only one person in the world who can trust me.”
“hehehehe, she looks so pure and touching. She’s similar to a princess.”
“……………….”
“……………….”
“……….”
“……………….”
“Anyway, it seems like everyone here is against talking about the past? It’s such a sad thing. I also came with my own decision.”
“Close your mouth.”
“Please be quiet.”
“Shut up, non-believer.”
“Get out.”
“Various reactions. It’s like watching a skit and it’s fun, but… If you don’t listen to the past, I’ll be in trouble too.”
“What…?”
“So, I’ll force you to do it?”
Job Skill .
The mediator’s fingertips shine with clear light. The female students who were watching her suddenly tried to respond in different ways.
The mediator’s hand is directed to Liu Yan’s chest.
To be precise, it was a space pocket where artifacts were stored.
Chuck!
“What…!?”
“As expected, you had this diary.”
Soon, a notebook was pulled out of the artifact pocket in Liu’s arms and flew into the arbitrator’s hands.
At the same time, the mediator, who had obtained the notebook and diary, smiled brightly.
The psychic’s telekinesis, the saint’s charge, and the princess’s fists are aimed at the mediator.
“Now, shall we go?”
Before that, the pages of the diary turn.
Crooked writing was engraved on the diary, which was originally a blank page…
“Into the fortune teller’s memories.”
──The intense light swallowed everyone.

“What…?”
Eileen, who rushed towards the mediator, muttered in embarrassment.
I was definitely in the room just a little while ago.
Before she knew it, she was standing outside in the sunlight.
Next to her, Eunha Kim, Rain, and Liu, who were also unable to grasp the situation, were looking around.
“What’s happening…?”
“Hey, I’m a patient with a suspected disease. Do you have any artifacts?”
“…It’s a disaster. All artifacts for location tracking and identification are ineffective. The crowds that get out of the way…Seem like that too.”
“Don’t test that on me, you suspicious b*tch.”
“Just calm down. First, we need to figure out what’s going on──
“Mom!”
“……Mom?”
Suddenly, a voice that seemed like they had heard it somewhere before made all the female students turn their heads towards where the voice came from.
And.
“…Namgoong Min?”
“No, it’s definitely… Correct?”
A young Namgoong Min who could have been ten years old at most.
He was running towards them.
Leaving Eileen and Lane perplexed by the incomprehensible situation, Liu hurriedly ran towards young Namgoong Min.
“Crazy! So f*cking cute!”
“Now, wait! If you touch it just in case—”
“──Huh?”
“Mom!”
“Oh my, my son.”
Liu tried to hug the young Namgoong Min who was running towards her, but soon her eyes narrowed as Namgoong Min passed through her body.
Nam Goong Min walked past them and was held in the arms of a woman, as if Liu and other women were not visible at all.
This is not the first time I see a face.
They knew Namgoong Min’s family relationships through background research and knew who that woman was.
“Mother…?”
“Mother? You evil b*tch, what are you talking about like that?”
“That’s going to happen, so what do you think?”
“This b*tch?”
“Are you going to have a pointless argument in a meeting like this? Anyway…This makes it clear.”
“The non-believer is right. This seems like Namgoong Min’s past.”
“How on earth could this happen…?”
As far as Princess Kim Eun-ha knows, the mediator does not have this type of skill.
Then, is the diary that the mediator brought from Liu’s arms the medium?
The moment when Kim Eun-ha asks Liu about the diary.
“Oppa! Let’s go together!”
“I hate you because you’re so slow.”
“Oppa ah!!”
“…Oppa?”
Of course, Namgoong Min.
He is an only child?
Liu, Rain, and Kim Eun-ha, who knew about Namgoong Min’s family relationship through background investigation, made dumb expressions toward the girl they were seeing for the first time.
“……Younger sister.”
Meanwhile, Eileen Mann was looking at her little sister with a sad expression.
Soon, her younger sister passes by them and falls into the arms of young Namgoong Min and her mother.
Her mother calmed the two whining children and eventually waved her hand at a man.
“Honey!”
“You.”
A dependable man with a kind face.
He was Namgoong Min’s father.
With a smile on his face, he picked up his son and daughter at the same time and skillfully comforted them.
“Should we go eat pork cutlet today?”
“Tonkatsu!”
“I like pork cutlet!”
“Do you want to push yourself today?”
“How expensive do you want to go?”
“The factory has been doing well recently, so don’t worry. Kids, today is a pork cutlet that melts in your mouth!”
“Waaa!”
“Dad is the best!”
A close-knit family who genuinely laughs happily and cares for each other.
The four female students who were looking at Namgoong Min’s past suddenly stopped talking and looked at the family.
There were words that passed through their minds at the same time.
──Which family is this tragedy?
Because the mediator said something extremely ominous.
They trembled with an unknown anxiety.
“……….”
Only Eileen.
I had my eyes closed.
*
“What, what is it?”
Suddenly, Lane came to his senses.
Not outside in the dazzling sunlight, but inside a house.
I hurriedly looked around, but there was no patient with a suspected disease, no fighter attacking non-believers, and no arrogant princess.
Immediately after thinking that I fell alone.
A voice was heard.
“Guys, was the pork cutlet delicious today?”
“It was delicious!”
“I tasted it better than my brother!”
“No!”
“These guys.”
Enjoyable conversation with a smile.
And warm warmth.
Raine’s body trembled at that togetherness.
“……Me too.”
I had a time like that too.
With my kind mother, there were times when I fell asleep every night feeling the warmth of her arms.
Raine, who had picked up her past that had been buried in a corner of her heart, walked toward her living room with a somewhat gloomy look.
“……….”
She eventually stands in front of Namgoong Min’s family, but they do not notice Lane.
With this, it becomes clear. It was clear that she was in some kind of observer mode.
Is this what you meant by forcing it to be shown?
“Arbitrator…!!”
Raine, who was clenching her fists in her anger towards her mediator, soon sat down with a sigh.
The job skill Does not appear. Since I had already experienced incompetence during Skill Thief, I was less panicked about being the underdog.
In that case, I have no choice but to watch quietly.
Rain, who was looking at Nam Goong Min as if he were a child, smiled.
“…Namgoong Min, you’re cute.”
At most ten years old. I’m at a criminal age to harbor romantic feelings…… Is it because it was the childhood of the man I like?
Rain thought the young Namgoong Min was so cute, as if he was wearing a bean pod.
The patient with the suspected disease was so excited that it was enough to rush in.
But even if she tried to reach out and stroke her hand, her hand would only pass through Namgoong Min.
“……………….”
In the warm and cozy atmosphere, Lane, who had been quietly watching them, moved her body to the corner of her living room.
Then, she puts her legs together and buries her face.
“…I miss you.”
I suddenly want to see her face that I tried so hard to forget.
My mother shared childhood memories with me.
Reign, who remembered the face of her mother who disappeared one day, looked blankly at her Namgoong Min and her family.
“It’s family…”
If I start a family with Namgoong Min, will this pain be healed a little?
Rain was seriously thinking about the future.
“……….”
She closed her eyes, unable to resist the sudden drowsiness that came over her.
*
“…Huh?”
“Are you awake now?”
“Come to your senses.”
“Suspicious b*tch…? Princess…?”
“This evil b*tch until the end…”
What on earth is going on?
Raine woke up from her doze and faced Liu and Eunha, who were looking down at her.
“Here…?”
“Look at that.”
“What, what… Eileen?”
When she came to her senses, she was able to look around her.
She and her three girls are floating in the air.
And below, I saw a martial artist talking about non-believers and non-believers.
Just like myself a little while ago, looking at Namgoong Min’s family.
“I couldn’t believe it before…?”
“It was the same. You couldn’t hear this voice, right?”
“Ah, yes.”
“I’m sure about this. We’re looking at each fortune teller’s past separately. I don’t know why it’s done this way.”
One of the four looks at Namgoong Min’s past as an observer, and the other three observe everything as observers above observers.
If I was going to show it, I would just show it to all four of them. Why did they take this method?
“Then…I squatted in the corner…?”
“I saw it all.”
“That evil b*tch had a cute side, didn’t she?”
“…I feel bad.”
In that case, that fighter would know that they are watching him.
But the fighter didn’t seem to care about the girls who were watching from somewhere.
Just late at night in the living room with the lights on.
I was just looking at Namgoong Min’s parents, who had put their children to bed and covered their heads.
“…For now, let’s watch it together.”
Hearing the princess’s words, Rain also quietly focused on the past.
Unlike the warmth she felt a moment ago.
A moment filled with only cold atmosphere.
