80 – 16-1. Motivation
I don’t know what happened.
I just felt a sense of discomfort.
[Divination: ]
‘I am the only one who can ask questions using job skills.’
Even if there was a fortune teller like me, there was no way he could interfere with my job skills.
No matter how much I think about it, it is true that I asked this question.
Then the problem arises.
‘When is the replacement?’
Questions include ‘conversation with an unknown being’ and ‘state of insanity’.
In other words, at the time I asked this question, I was talking to an unknown entity and I was probably out of my mind.
When exactly is that?
When you come to the mansion? When did you start keeping a diary? Or some other time?
Nothing can be inferred from this question alone.
‘…… No, no. ‘Something else comes first.’
Before that, you need to check first.
Am I sane now?
“…My name is Namgoong Min, I’m 20 years old, and I’m currently in my second year of middle school. I have no friends at school because I work part-time, do manual labor, and learn divination every day. I’m not going to high school and I’m planning to take the qualification exam…”
And, her family has one younger sister.
Is there anything wrong with any of this?
I hastily wrote down what I just recited, but no matter how much I read it, there doesn’t seem to be any problem.
But.
“If I’m not in my right mind…”
Even if there are strange parts in this article, there is a high possibility that you will not notice them.
What if you don’t realize it yourself?
Just ask someone else.
I grabbed the bell on the desk and shook it.
Tingle.
“Nam Goong Min, did you call me?”
Then, of course, one of the employees waiting nearby opened the door and came in.
It was the black-haired maid I saw on her first day, and I smiled at her and held out her paper to her.
“Oh, excuse me! I’ve been writing for a while. Are there any mistakes?”
“Huh? Wait a minute…Um…No? There’s nothing wrong. You’re a student at the Romance Academy after all.”
“Thank you! You can go back now!”
“I understand. And since it is late at night, please do not come out of the door. The others are sleeping.”
“Yes!”
Squeak.
The maid closes the door and leaves with a blank expression.
Looking at her reaction, I nodded.
“I’m out of my mind.”
I did not find any sense of discomfort in the article.
It was just the maid’s words that woke me up.
‘Romance Academy, Romance Academy. Yes, I’m a student at Romance Academy now.’
And, the Romance Academy I know is definitely not a middle school.
In other words, it means that my head is wrong in thinking that I am a second year middle school student.
Once you realize this, it is an obvious fact, but it is surprising that you thought it was nothing strange until just a moment ago.
After laughing out loud, I felt like my head was a little clearer.
‘And the maid is crazy too.’
Since I didn’t point out the part where I wrote that I was in the second year of middle school, it probably means that the maid was either crazy or an accomplice.
Maybe it’s not a maid.
‘I even told you not to come outside.’
Originally, I was going to go straight to the room where Riou, Rain, or the princess were, but that also became dangerous.
If you go out the door, you might go crazy again.
Since I succeeded in coming to my senses in this room, it would be safe to at least consider this room to be safe.
‘Then…….’
What should I do?
As I lean back in my chair for a moment, I can see the status window still floating in the air.
[Divination: ]
“I feel like telling fortunes, but…”
Right now, that question is the only thing that allows me to grasp reality.
If I changed the question and lost my sanity again, that would be the end, so I couldn’t use my job skills easily.
“……………….”
When I look around the room again, the bed, various furniture, TV, game console, bookshelves, etc. Come into view.
I took the remote control and turned on the TV, just in case.
[Just sleep like this, that’s the way to feel comfortable.]
“There is no problem with TV…”
I pressed the power button on the game console.
A game called Caught my eye, so I played it.
[It’s all for you. I couldn’t just watch you surrounded by those crazy b*tches. Sorry.]
“This doesn’t work at all…?”
I pulled out any of the books on the bookshelf and opened them.
[I told you so. You should live happily there, but you didn’t know that food was poisonous. How can I just watch that?]
“There’s nothing special here either.”
TV, game console, book.
I search the room and find nothing but ordinary things.
I laid down on the bed feeling frustrated.
[Okay, let’s sleep. I’ll just sleep and forget everything. Even if all memories return, even if we become ignorant, even if we become excessively pure…….]
“……………….”
[You will be much happier in this world. I’ll do something about those b*tches. So… ….]
“……….”
[Forget me and live, oppa.]
“……….”
…………….
I’m sorry.
“I can’t listen to that much.”
[…] …… ?]
Are you telling me to forget you?
I deliberately ignored the other words, but I can’t bear to say that.
“Hey, you.”
[Well, what is it? How? Could it be that that bastard…… ?]
“Hey.”
[It can’t be like this! How on earth did you…… !]
“Namgoong Jisoo.”
[…] … ….]
“Can you hear me? You’ve been talking in my head since a while ago.”
[…] ……….]
“This b*tch. Do you think she’ll forget your voice just because she hasn’t seen you for a few months?”
Get up from bed.
It was with a sneer towards his stupid younger sister.
“At first, I just listened quietly, wondering what he was going to say, but then he crossed a line.”
[…] ……….]
“Forget you? That’s bullsh*t. Is there anyone who can forget their only family and live happily ever after? Hey, Namgoong Jisoo.”
[…] …… Brother.]
“My head is pounding, so don’t just talk, come in front of me. Just like the last note, let’s talk between siblings for the first time in a while.”
[…] … Sorry.]
“What’s wrong with being sorry? I told you to just come? I’ll get it over with.”
[Just…… I’m sorry for everything. It was for my brother, I thought it was for my brother…… I was too arrogant.]
“What are you talking about? Aren’t you coming forward?”
[You can hear me…… It must be because of that bastard. He’s such a piece of sh*t. They dragged me into this world as they please, and now that I’ve solved everything, they try to betray me…… I’m going to strike the candle again this time.]
“……Hey.”
[I’m sorry, brother. We can’t meet yet. I’m so sorry, brother…….]
“……Jisoo, let me ask you one question.”
[…] …… Huh.]
“”
[…] ……….]
Is it silence?
Well, that answer was enough.
“Then just wait. I’ll take a video of your crying face and make fun of you for the rest of your life.”
[…] …… Get out, you bastard.]
Ha.
Yes, this is how Namgung Jisoo should be.
And.
Rigo
That.
.
“……………….”
I opened my eyes in bed.
When did I fall asleep?
As if to indicate that it was morning, the lights in the underwater cave were gradually getting brighter.
“……….”
Juseomjuseom I got up from my seat, opened the door, and went out.
After walking down the hallway for a while, I saw Rio.
“Mr. Liu.”
“Oh, fortune teller. You woke up early?”
“Mr. Liu, when was your birthday?”
“…? There are still a few months left. Why?”
“Oh, I don’t know Liu’s birthday. Will you invite me to the party then?”
“Ha! If you kneel down and beg, there’s nothing I can do for you… Hey! Listen to me until the end!”
As I walked a little further and reached the main gate of the mansion, I saw Lane who seemed to be going out for a walk.
He smiled at her and approached her.
“Mr. Lane.”
“Namgoong Min, are you awake?”
“Mr. Lane, what does the gate look like?”
“…? You’re asking something strange. You learned it at the Academy last time, right? It’s all different, but it’s all a broken space.”
“Thank you, see you later at meal time.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Ah, Namgoong Min. If possible, let’s take a walk together…!”
Walk a little more. Continue without stopping.
After walking for a while, I saw the princess who had come out first.
“Princess.”
“Oh my. Namgoong Min, did you wake up early today?”
“Princess, when will you return my ribbon?”
“…Ribbon? What does that mean?”
“Well, it’s morning so I guess I’ll be talking nonsense for a while. See you later.”
“No, is that the end? If you are a citizen of the Korean Empire in name and name, you should at least say good morning to the princess───”
Walk.
Towards the destination we had planned from the beginning.
When we almost arrived, we saw a black-haired maid watering the flower beds.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
“Ah, Namgoong Min. What’s going on?”
“I wrote this myself. Are there any mistakes?”
“Hmm…? Namgoong Min, what kind of bizarre setting is it that you’re 20 years old and in your second year of middle school…?”
“Isn’t it strange, after all? Thanks to you, I feel relieved. Have a nice day.”
“…? Yes, I understand.”
The destination was just around the corner.
I stopped at the corner of the cave.
“……….”
There were no cracks there.
It’s as if nothing like that ever happened from the beginning.
“Hey! You fortune teller! Don’t tell me what to say!”
“Namgoong Min! Let’s take a walk together…!”
“Nam Goong Min! What does Ribbon mean all of a sudden!?”
When I hear several voices and turn around, I see three girls hurriedly running towards me.
Liu Yen, Lane Arthur, Kim Eun-ha.
I greeted them with a smile and looked towards Rio.
“Mr. Liu.”
“Oh, why again!”
“Is there a gate near here?”
“What is that… Hey, based on common sense, what kind of crazy person would build a house near the gate? Are you going to get killed by monsters?”
“I guess so, right?”
“No, more than that, why are you ignoring what I say! Hey!”
“Mr. Liu.”
“If you do anything, Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu! Are you going to say some bullsh*t again?”
“Has the food I eaten been poisoned?”
“……………….”
Hiccup.
Liu, who was so angry and irritated that he suddenly became mute, broke into a cold sweat.
Rain and the princess’s gaze mixed with astonishment and suspicion also turned towards Liu.
“…Really?”
“Mr. Liu, is this true…?”
“……………….”
“Mr. Liu, I was just joking. Why are you doing that?”
“Uh, ah? Right? It’s just a joke, right? hahahaha! Of course it’s not a joke! hahahaha!!”
“……….”
“……………….”
“hahahaha! Then of course it’s really a joke!”
Rio is dripping with cold sweat, and Rain and Eunha are glaring at Liu.
I sighed as I watched them.
‘Jisoo, you said these kids were crazy.’
So you did what you did to me?
Are you manipulating Rio, Rain, and Eunha?
‘…… I don’t know what happened to you in the past to make something like that possible.’
These kids are my friends.
A precious friend who can be considered another family member.
‘If we meet, it won’t end with me hitting him.’
I glanced at the thin book I had in my arms.
[
This is a sign of arrogance.
Traces of her trying to do whatever she wants with you. Traces of hypocrisy for your sake.
Keep it precious. Even if there is nothing to write about.
* Deflects mental interference from ???? Once. It disappears after use.]
“……….”
The days written in the diary, the conversation with the crack, and the conversation with my sister.
I remembered all of that.
Is this compensation? A medal for successfully overcoming everything?
Well.
In my opinion……
“…Is it an apple?”
“Huh? Apple?”
“It’s nothing. Anyway, isn’t it almost time for breakfast? Let’s go back.”
“…That’s also true. Mr. Liu, can’t you take the medicine in the morning…?”
“No! It’s a joke!”
“Mr. Lane, when we get back, we’ll start by testing the ingredients.”
“Princess!”
The three girls take a step back at my suggestion. You must be hungry after running around since morning.
As I walked behind the bickering girls, I muttered quietly.
“.”
And.
[Divination content: ]
“……….”
Draw any card that appears out of thin air.
The drawn card is…… Major Arcana No. 10, .
The results of the job skills came to mind right away.
[Job skill Completed!
Foreign content:
Progress of divination: In the positive direction
Result of divination: If the ending is perfect, then yes.
Probability that the result of the point will be executed as is: ???%]
It was a result I had already expected, so I was calm enough to accept it.
“……I see.”
In the first place, there was a reason to see a perfect ending.
I had to go back to reality, I didn’t want to see the characters become unhappy, I had enough……
There were many reasons that motivated me.
Today, a motivation more powerful than anything else arose.
“Just wait.”
It was finished so perfectly that I couldn’t say anything.
I’ll explain everything.
I smiled like always.
…… It was a bitter smile.
