Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

The dizzy situation I encountered as soon as I entered the room following the guide…
Amidst that, Poison Demon Wei Zhiying’s hand extended towards me.
Moreover, as the Poison Demon urged me to take it directly, I couldn’t hesitate any longer.
So, gathering my courage, I carefully grasped the Poison Demon’s hand, and the Poison Demon stared at me intently.
“It seems the fortune teller is quite shy. Are you bothered by my current appearance?”
“Uh… Ahem, wouldn’t it be stranger not to be bothered when meeting for the first time?”
“Is that so? Fortune teller, you’re quite interesting.”
As the Poison Demon who released the handshake raised her hand, suddenly a white robe fluttered through the air and draped over the Poison Demon’s body.
…Every time I see it, I find such things truly amazing. How do they do it? In old martial arts novels I read, they called this kind of thing ‘air grabbing’.
“You’re very different from the image of the fortune teller I had imagined after hearing about you.”
“R-really…?”
No, Hatieri… Just how detailed an explanation did you give for such a person to even imagine my image in their head!
“You see, after hearing about you, I thought of… someone who observes the world placed in the palm of their hand, standing one step away from the mundane world… Yes, like a transcendent being.”
“Uh… You had quite an exaggerated idea…?”
You imagined someone so far removed from me…? Where in my appearance did you think of such an extraordinary person…?!
“But you’re different in person. You’re human. A human born with extraordinary abilities, yet close to being ordinary.”
…No, if I’m not human, then what am I? Just what kind of monstrously capable and amazing person did you imagine?!
As I was thinking this inwardly, the Poison Demon’s waist bent, her face approached mine, her mouth stretched wide, and her eyes curved like crescents.
“That’s why I like you even more! I like people like you. I think we can become good friends, teacher.”
Perhaps because she was originally beautiful, her smiling face was truly pretty, but as her face came closer and I could see it in detail, I felt a strange sensation as if a snake was crawling up my spine.
…Hmm, is it just because of her impression? Or the Poison Demon’s atmosphere?
“…Well, I’m glad you like me. Haha…”
As I laughed awkwardly, I felt like the Poison Demon’s smile deepened a bit more.
“Oh my, I’ve kept my precious guest standing for too long.”
The Poison Demon, who had suddenly retracted her smile and returned to that expressionless yet somewhat languid face, muttered, and suddenly something rose from the floor and took the shape of a round table and plush chairs.
…No, how on earth do they do this kind of thing?!
“Sit down.”
As the Poison Demon, who had naturally crossed her legs and sat down, spoke briefly, I immediately took a seat.
‘Hmm…’
How should I put it, even though I’m surprisingly someone who has met many S-rank individuals… The Poison Demon feels somewhat different.
…Or not? Actually, thinking about it, I’ve only seen three in person excluding the Poison Demon, so am I just inexperienced?
Hmm, but for an ordinary person like me, meeting four S-rank individuals is quite a lot…
“You don’t need to be so tense. I like you, after all.”
As I was momentarily lost in thought, the Poison Demon casually dropped a word.
…But does that mean she would have done something if she didn’t like me? As expected of the notorious Poison Demon…! Does this mean I should be on my guard…!!
Thinking that, as I looked at the Poison Demon, she silently took out an expensive-looking porcelain cup and placed it on the table.
‘A wine glass…?’

Seeing that she only took out one glass, is she planning to drink alone…? As I was thinking that, the Poison Demon raised her finger over the empty wine glass, and
Tok! Tok tok!
From her fingertip, a green liquid that looked ominous at a glance began to drip drop by drop, gathering in the wine glass.
‘Uh, uhm… Isn’t that dangerous…?’
As expected, once a sufficient amount of green liquid had gathered in the glass, the Poison Demon nonchalantly pushed the glass towards me.
“Uh, well… Wh-what is this…?”
“It’s poison. I made it myself.”
No, this is crazy!! Don’t casually hand me poison you made yourself!!
Y-yeah…!! There must be some other intention, right?! Even though she handed me the glass, she surely doesn’t expect me to drink this…!!
“I’d like you to drink it yourself.”
That was the intention after all!!! This damn…!!
Hearing the Poison Demon’s nonchalant words, I swallowed hard and looked at the poison in the glass.
The green liquid that looked ominous at a glance. Bubbles appearing as if boiling, and what looked like steam or smoke rising…
It seemed like the moment an ordinary person like me drank it, I’d immediately punch a ticket for the express train to hell. In the first place, it didn’t seem like the artifact Hatieri gave me would work against drinking such poison.
‘Y-you want me to drink this…? Really…?!’
Wondering if it was a joke, I looked at the Poison Demon, but she was staring at me with her still expressionless face, holding an antique-looking long pipe in her mouth that I didn’t know when she had taken out.
It didn’t seem like a joke at all.
No, Hatieri…!! You said she wasn’t the type to harm her guests!! How is this such a situation!!
Damn, no matter how I think about it, Akame was right. The Poison Demon was a very vicious superhuman.
But I couldn’t say I didn’t want to drink it. The person in front of me was a very vicious superhuman, how could I refuse her offer knowing what might happen to me if I did?!
As cold sweat ran down my spine in this very tense situation that only I felt, something suddenly flashed in my mind.
It was the phrase “Good medicine tastes bitter” that came from the physiognomy reading I did on myself before coming here.
…Does the fact that I’m remembering this now mean that this is the situation I foresaw in my physiognomy reading?
In a situation where I couldn’t outright refuse anyway. I closed my eyes tight and picked up the glass.
‘Yeah! It’s not like I saw a physiognomy reading saying I would die!’
I did some self-rationalization and inwardly prayed desperately that I would be okay, then downed all the poison in the glass in one go and placed the wine glass back on the table with a clank!
And right after that, I opened my eyes wide.
“Th-this is…?!”
Although smoke rose from my body, it wasn’t because of the poison’s effect causing pain.
Rather, it was the opposite. My body was full of vitality, and I felt like I had even lost some weight.
As I was wondering what this phenomenon was after drinking poison, the Poison Demon said with that smile on her face,
“You showed courage, teacher. Excellent.”
“Uh… What’s going on here?”
“It’s a simple situation. I offered poison, and you drank it. It’s just that the poison you drank wasn’t harmful to you.”
…Aren’t all poisons supposed to make you sick and painful? Are there such poisons too?!
As if reading my thoughts, the Poison Demon quietly smiled and said,
“Even poison changes its use depending on how it’s used. When used properly, poison can become an extreme weapon, but it can also become medicine.”
Then, pointing at my wine glass with her long pipe, she continued,
“By the way, what you drank is a diet poison. It burns excess fat to some extent and invigorates the body, so if you exercise just 10 minutes a day for a week, you can build a somewhat firm body. It’s also an item I’m considering selling.”
And right after that, the Poison Demon leaned in close and silently grasped my chin, and I swallowed hard.
…Ah, damn. This is burdensome. This person is too damn burdensome!!
“I like you more and more, teacher. Despite being close to an ordinary person, you have an ability that could even make my power seem trivial, and although your physical strength is weak, you know how to show courage. It’s something I didn’t have in the past. That’s why I’m more attracted.”
Wei Zhiying, the Poison Demon.
If Scolia Fenrir Hatieri is a prodigy, she has an extraordinary talent that could be called a lazy genius.
In fact, when she first awakened, she was only D-rank, but now she has not only reached S-rank but has become a monster among monsters who could even aim beyond that.
One of the nicknames that refer to her, “The Most Feared Superhuman in China,” is not an incorrect assessment.

However, before her awakening, she was insignificant.
Abandoned as a child for being the youngest, barely surviving and wandering the world without a proper job, living a rock-bottom life.
She, who lived looking only at the ground without even the strength to raise her head towards the sky, has now become the Poison Demon (毒魔) who reigns from a higher position than anyone else, but she might have liked the person in front of her because they had something that her past self didn’t have.
…Or it might be because she’s just a slightly crazy superhuman.
“…I really like you. Yes, teacher. May I know your name? I’m Wei Zhiying, known as the Poison Demon. I’d like it if you could call me by my name comfortably, if possible.”
“…Ahem, I’m Dam Han-ul. Please call me however you like…”
More than that, I wish she’d move her face away now… It’s too burdensome…
“Dam Han-ul… Does it mean containing the sky and universe? It’s as good a name as your ability.”
Wei Zhiying, who let out a strange smile, lazily leaned back in her chair, then suddenly melted the long pipe she had just taken out and abruptly stood up, grabbing me and pulling me to my feet.
“I think we need to get to know each other better to become even closer friends, don’t you? Come, follow me.”
“Y-yes…?!”
“Ah, you don’t need to worry too much about your companions. My subordinates will be treating them well… So don’t worry and just follow me obediently.”
“Ah…”
Wei Zhiying’s words were mixed with a firm will that refused any refusal.
Oh my, Ricone, Black Cat, Akame…
I don’t think I’ve ever missed those invisible ones as much as I do now.
And so, I began to move weakly, trudging along as Wei Zhiying led me.
