Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Kang Min-ji, who had just become a team leader, wanted her teacher to do well, and this led her to first secretly promote him to her team.

However, doing it openly is something only amateurs do.
Since the team members of an official attack squad in a large guild like Hwajin would all be well-off financially, it was enough to just make them think, ‘Maybe getting a fortune telling once wouldn’t be bad…?’ So Min-ji approached very carefully and leisurely…

“Um… Team Leader, I heard about a very skilled fortune teller the other day…”

As a result, her promotion was successful.
Inwardly smiling, Min-ji looked at the team member who had spoken to her.
A B-rank superhuman with a height well over 2 meters, and a rugged physique and fierce-looking face to match that tall stature, who played an excellent tank role in her team.

“Ah-. Right, I did talk about a fortune teller. But why?”

“Well… I’d like to get my fortune told at that place. If it’s that accurate… would it be possible…?”

‘Got you?’

But contrary to his fierce exterior, he was a man with a rather soft heart, Kim Ju-hwan.
Somehow he seemed quite restless, clearly having some important circumstances he couldn’t speak about.
Although she didn’t know what circumstances he had for wanting to get his fortune told… well, was that important?
For a great fortune teller like Teacher Dam Han-ul, the genre wouldn’t be an obstacle.

“I’m curious about your circumstances, but… well, I won’t ask. That wouldn’t be polite, right? But you’ve made a good choice. That teacher is really skilled.”

She gave Kim Ju-hwan the teacher’s address and phone number.

“If you want to contact him, do it here, and after making a reservation, go to this address. Ah, but as befitting a skilled place, the cost is quite high, so keep that in mind.”

“Then… how much should I prepare?”

“Well… I paid about 2 million won in total. I guess it depends on how important it is… but isn’t it better than being disliked for paying too little?”

She added that the reason they were able to remove the risk factor and complete the conquest so easily in the recent “Temple of the Devout Trolls” conquest was thanks to that fortune teller.

“Wow… If he’s that skilled, I guess that money wouldn’t be wasted?”

“Of course. I don’t know what concerns you have, but prepare your sincerity sufficiently. That way, he’ll tell you more.”

Anyway, for him, an accomplished B-rank tank assigned to the regular conquest team of Hwajin, that much money wasn’t a big deal.

“Ah, I understand! Thank you for the advice, Team Leader!”

“It’s nothing. Just tell me how it went later, okay?”

Having completely succeeded in her promotion, Min-ji inwardly smiled a deep smile of satisfaction.

‘Hehe… One more customer for you, Teacher!’

Of course, the problem is that the teacher himself probably didn’t want this favor, but that’s beside the point.

Anyway, they had just conquered a dungeon recently, and unless a hunter is affiliated with the government, it’s a job that leaves quite a lot of free time, and since the team had just been formed, there wasn’t much work and they weren’t busy, so Kim Ju-hwan immediately headed to the fortune-telling place Min-ji had introduced right after work.

With very, very high expectations.

Having earned an additional 1.5 million won last time, I was spending quite leisurely days when I encountered an incredibly unexpected guest and was dumbfounded.

“So… what brings you here?”

“Yes, well… I came here on Team Leader Kang Min-ji’s recommendation. I heard you’re very skilled at fortune telling…”

Team Leader Kang Min-ji… a figure deeply etched in my memory.
A quite impressive person who had given me a total of 2 million won and a Korean beef gift set, an A-rank hunter and team leader of the large guild Hwajin.

Wait, but suddenly someone came to get their fortune told on that person’s recommendation??

‘No… What on earth…’

I had thought that only that person would occasionally come for fortune telling, but what kind of mishap is this?

Inwardly, I wanted to chase him away saying I don’t do that kind of thing anymore, but… I couldn’t do that either.

‘Wow… How can a person look this scary…’

If I said such a thing, it seemed like the person in front of me might say “How dare you turn me away!!” and fold me in half.

‘No… Team Leader, of all people to introduce, such a terrifying person…!’

In this situation, I can’t even refuse out of fear…!

“Ah, well… Please come in.”

“…! Thank you! Then…”

The ferocious-looking giant hesitantly squeezed his body to enter my house.

After roughly guiding him to the living room, I set up a small table, brought out a glass of juice for the giant, and asked.

“So… First, may I ask what kind of fortune you came to get…?”

“Ah, that… I’d like to get a love fortune reading…”

“L-love fortune…?!”

No, of all the fortunes, why a love fortune…??

I blinked in surprise.

Regardless of my reaction, the giant continued speaking, his face reddening slightly as if embarrassed.

“I’ve come to like someone, but… I don’t know what to do… I’m not very outgoing by nature, so… I’d like to get advice through your fortune telling, sir.”

“No, ha… haha…”

To think he’d come for love fortune telling and advice from someone like me, a lifelong single who’s never even held a girl’s hand…!!

I barely managed to hold onto my mind that felt like it was about to go blank.

“Well, I’ve prepared this much as a small fee for the fortune telling…”

However, my mind cleared up immediately when I checked the envelope the giant handed over.

No, in fact, it might have flown all the way to Andromeda.

That’s because the envelope contained the huge sum of 3 million won!

‘Huh, huck…! S-such a large sum…!!’

Faced with such a large amount of money, my eyes rolled back like last time, and I cleared my throat and said.

“Ahem… I can’t refuse after seeing such sincerity… Please wait a moment.”

I hurriedly stood up.

Since he went this far, I have to give him a fortune telling.

Of course, I’m just an amateur novice, but… what can I do with such money in front of me!

The only problem is…

‘Ah crap… I don’t have tarot cards…!?’

Of course, the problem was that I didn’t have tarot cards in my house.

Back then, it was at my friend’s fortune-telling shop, so they were there, but how could there be such things in the house of an ordinary unemployed civilian like me?

‘Damn, at least cards, cards…’

As I searched around the room for cards, I finally managed to find a deck of cards.

‘Th-this is…!!’

The problem is that it’s a deck of cards from a card game I often played when I was young…

‘Damn it! It’s urgent, so for now, even this…!!’

But with no time to be picky, I brought it out anyway.

“Uh… sir. Isn’t that card from an old popular card game…? Why are you using that for fortune telling…”

“Oh ho! A true master doesn’t blame his tools! Don’t doubt!”

“Ah… Yes, I’m sorry, sir! As expected, a skilled person is different!”

While inwardly sweating profusely, I outwardly forced my way through the crisis, shuffled the cards briskly, and held them out to the giant in front of me.

“Now, so your name is…?”

“Ah, my name is Kim Ju-hwan, sir!”

“Alright, Mr. Kim Ju-hwan. Please draw five cards from there. Don’t look at them.”

“Yes.”

Desperately thinking about how to get through this somehow, I watched Kim Ju-hwan draw five cards and had him place them face down on the floor.

“Now, flip over one card of your choice from these five.”

Following my words, Kim Ju-hwan flipped a card.

The first card revealed was a trap card, “Femme Fatale”.

The effect is… well, that doesn’t matter right now.

Anyway, after pondering over it, I finally spoke.

“Hmm… The person you have in mind must be very beautiful?”

“…! Th-that’s right! As expected, you are truly skilled!!”

Well… When you like someone, you get rose-colored glasses, and even if they’re not pretty, they look pretty…

“Well then, flip over the next card.”

Kim Ju-hwan, whose eyes now held a deeper trust in me, flipped the next card.

This time, it was a monster card, ‘Old Man Fishing for Time’.

It showed an old man sitting in a small boat fishing, and the effect is… not important, so pass.

“Hmm, it seems the woman you have in mind is also interested in you.”

“R-really, sir?!”

“…Ahem, let’s calm down and turn over the next one.”

“Ah, yes!”

Next was a trap card, ‘Spy Caught in a Trap’.

It’s a card showing a beautiful spy being captured… the effect doesn’t matter, but how should I interpret this…?

“Hmm… You want to become lovers… something like that with the woman you have in mind, right? Then first, step forward boldly and confess.”

“What?! B-but such…!”

“Well, just trust me and try it. Remember. You must be very bold. Just grab her hand and slam the wall or something! Got it?”

“Well… I-I understand for now.”

The guest nodded for now and flipped the next card, which turned out to be a field trap card, ‘Secluded Alley’.

“Make that confession in a secluded alley like this. It will be more effective.”

In truth, I didn’t know if that was really true. I was just saying whatever came to mind right now…

“Confession… in an alley…”

The guest who muttered that flipped the last card.

The last card was… ‘Eros’s Primal Love’.

Of course, the effect doesn’t matter, so let’s quickly summarize the situation.

“Hmm… It seems that woman likes things a bit hard… If you confess powerfully, she’ll probably accept, and when she does, if she suggests something, you should accept it without hesitation, whatever it is. Understood?”

Shit, I don’t know if this is really right…

Ah, I don’t know. Even if it’s wrong, it’s not my fault! It’s your fault for asking such things to a lifelong single like me!

“Well, anyway… You remember everything, right?”

“Yes! I will definitely win this love following your advice, sir!!”

“Good! That’s the spirit! Now, you can go!”

“Yes! I’ll return triumphantly!!”

No, there’s no need to come back…

Anyway, the guest who gained confidence left my house just like that…

About a day later, I received a call from that guest.

[I-it really worked, sir!!!]

What?! That actually succeeded?!

[You are truly my lifelong benefactor, sir!! Thank you so much!! Sniff…!!]

Receiving that call, I gaped in astonishment and froze on the spot.

No… That actually worked?! It’s the second time in a row it worked?! Why on earth…?!

Of course, there was no one here to answer my questions.
