Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Chapter 83 - Business is Seriously Booming



Some time after Hati Eri left…
…A very serious problem arose.
“Fortune-teller sir!!! Please give me a reading!!!”
“Why can’t I get in?!! I want a reading too!!!”
“Fortune-teller sir!!! We’re from the NBS news team!!! We’ll really film you well!!! So please, just one interview…!!!”
“Damn it, I’m telling you I have a lot of money!!! Just do a reading and take all my money without saying a word!!!”
“Listen!!! I’ve eaten meals with your in-law’s eighth cousin’s friend’s distant relative, you know? We even drank!! Went to the sauna and everything!!! So please give me a reading!!!”
“I’m a city council member here…!!!”
Suddenly, customers coming for fortune-telling started flooding in!!
“Wait, if it’s your in-law’s eighth cousin’s friend’s distant relative, isn’t that just a stranger…?”
I’m not even sure if that’s true in the first place.
No, but putting that aside, why the hell did the number of customers suddenly increase like this?!
And it’s not just ordinary customers, but broadcast PDs… reporters… some YouTubers and SNS influencers or whatever… BJs and streamers…
All sorts of people are gathering!!
Even if they’re not such people, all kinds of people are really gathering!!
“I think I’m going crazy… Why did it suddenly increase like this?!”
“…Has our effort finally paid off…!!”
“Huh? Akame, what did you just say?”
“Ah, ah! It’s nothing, Han-ul!! I, I just said there are a lot of customers! Ha, haha…”
“Hmm…”
Is it… suspicious?
No, that’s not what’s important right now…
“Ah, what should I do about this…”
There are… too many people!!
I’m not the type to get nervous about a lot of people… but I’m not the type to be fine with or get more excited by so many people either.
In the first place, aren’t there really too many people?!
“Haha, everyone! Please calm down and get in order? If you don’t, you’ll get hurt?”
“Aish! What’s so great about fortune-telling!! Is it that expensive to see your face once?! I’m a D+ rank superhuman!!”
As there were many people, there were also many people acting out, but…
“Haha, you really don’t listen.”
Bang!!
“Keak!!”
“No matter how crazy you are, don’t you see this mark? If you rampage like this, we’ll have no choice but to forcibly restrain you~. Keep that in mind~?”
“Huh, huh?! Cheongsung Guild…?! So he was someone related to Cheongsung Guild…”
“As expected, he must be an amazing ability user! Seeing how Cheongsung is personally escorting him!!”
Fortunately, thanks to my reliable Cheongsung Guild escort team doing their job very well, no accidents are happening, which is really a blessing.
I thought they might find a gap and squeeze in because the house is big and there are so many people, but as expected of Cheongsung’s high-ranking superhumans, they didn’t allow even a single uninvited guest! They’re really capable!
Well, even if they get past that, what’s waiting are our household members who are at least A-rank with plenty of S-ranks too…
“It’s safe, but still burdensome!!”
Even though accidents aren’t happening, the number of people remains the same, right?
There are also many people who speak more loudly because they’re told not to cause trouble.
Did the competence of Cheongsung’s security guards turn into trust instead… The ways of the world are difficult!!
“What should I really do about this??”
For now, they should all be ordinary people, so I can’t just sweep them all away… but I can’t leave this as it is either…
“This is really a headache…”
“If it’s troublesome, should we just sweep them all away? It seems like if an S-rank person uses force once, they won’t be able to not back down…”
“Hehe, should we just kill them?? It’s good because there are a lot of people so I can cut a lot!”
“No, you need to restrain yourself, Ryu-hwa.”
She’s definitely someone who shouldn’t step up in this situation… because she has no options other than chopping with her axe.
Hmm, S-rank show of force… it’s good, but…
“Anyway, in my opinion, I think they’ll still come flocking…”
Because there are all sorts of people in the world. You might know what’s in a shallow stream, but you can’t know what’s in people’s hearts.
There will be people who aren’t here and don’t think much of it, people who think lightly of it even though they’ve never been close to a life-or-death situation, or people who have something they don’t care about losing their life for, fools who don’t think much of S-ranks, people who act recklessly because they don’t think they’ll really be killed, people who will see the fortune no matter what blocks them, and many more diverse people besides these… people who will come here.
But we can’t really sweep them all away, can we? That would be the worst of the worst…
But still, the presence of S-rank superhumans was obviously going to be helpful.
‘If I add this and that and come up with a method…’
After pondering for a moment, I came up with a method.
“I was already tired from having a lot of customers lately, but this is good. I should just do fortune-telling once or twice a week, only for a small number of people…”
The method was simple.
Set days for fortune-telling, set a fixed number of people to receive, and only see that many people.
Well, for our regular customers who have been using my services since before this spread so widely… I should be considerate and see them whenever I have time. There will be enough days to see those guys.
And it doesn’t seem like they’ll listen if I announce this myself, so…
“Who would be good at this kind of thing…”
Hmm, there are several S-ranks, but the person who would definitely be effective is…
Akame, famous as one of the Three Sword Saints, or Yeondal-gi who became Korea’s 6th S-rank superhuman…
“Let’s go with someone close by. Akame, will you do it?”
“Of course. It’s an honor, rather?”
And the performance of S-rank, no less than a member of the Three Sword Saints, the Fire Sword Sarame Akame, was indeed certain.
“Now~. I’ll announce to everyone who came for a fortune-telling~? The days when fortune-telling can be done are twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays. We plan to receive up to 10 people per day, and please note that the number of people may change depending on the fortune-teller teacher’s condition. Ah, and of course we rest on holidays and the fortune-telling fee is expensive, so bring plenty of money? We don’t accept card payments or bank transfers, only cash or goods~. Of course, be aware that if you bring something unreasonable, you might end up dead! That’s all?”
With this simple announcement, and one sword stroke from Akame added, people couldn’t help but be overwhelmed.
“My goodness, a place protected by one of the Three Sword Saints, the Fire Sword?!”
“I came here thinking I might be fooled, but it’s too convincing? The fact that there are S-ranks must be true!”
“Whew, I couldn’t get a fortune-telling, but this is definitely a scoop!! No less than an S-rank!! The best fortune-teller guaranteed by ‘Fire Sword’ Sarame Akame!!”
With a definite skilled person like an S-rank appearing and making such a resolute announcement that they couldn’t even dream of negotiating or anything, many people had no choice but to turn back while licking their lips in disappointment.
The fortune-teller teacher’s strong will that he didn’t want to do fortune-telling now was also apparent, and above all, their lives were too precious to act tough in front of an S-rank. Even for people whose purpose wasn’t simply fortune-telling, a satisfactory source had been created.
Nevertheless, there were still some who lingered out of disappointment at having come all this way…
“No, we’ve come all this way, at least let us have one fortune-telling!”
“Haha, didn’t you hear earlier? You can only see him on Tuesdays and Thursdays? Today is Friday, sir.”
“Ugh…”
At this point, most people left, but… how could there only be people who simply accept? With so many people in the world, and so many people gathered here…
“Shut up and let me in!! Do you know who I am?! I’m…”
“Fk, you’re really acting up!! Hey!! You think you’re so great?! Show me that great fortune-telling of yours!!”
“This fking scammer, that’s why he’s doing this, right?! Hey!! Or come out and prove it!!”
“You bastard!! Let’s see if you can act so cocky in front of me!!!”
“Fire Sword my ass!! Why is such a bitch here!! How dare a fake Fire Sword act up…”
And those people who didn’t know how precious their lives were… unfortunately didn’t die.
Instead, they were suppressed by force and driven out.
First of all, the people blocking outside were at least A-rank talents, and they even offended Akame’s mood… so they were swept away in an instant.
They were swept away painfully for the crime of acting up.
Anyway, like that, I unknowingly suddenly became famous as a fortune-teller…
And it seems that fame wasn’t limited to just Korea, as right the next week, on the day I started business again, I met an unexpected big shot as a customer.
“Oh my~. This is a pleasure! I heard you were popular, but it’s more amazing than I thought! It was tough to get a spot, you know? Hahaha!”
“Uh… So who are you again??”
“Haha, I guess my introduction was insufficient! Let me explain briefly again… I’m The Ninja! Fuma Masanari, active as an S-rank superhuman in the neighboring country! Nice to meet you!”
“The… Ninja?”
Hmm, I think I’ve heard of that…
I understand that he’s an S-rank in Japan, but I don’t know much. It’s not like I know the superhuman industry well, like when I met Hati Eri before. Even now that I’ve become an amateur fortune-teller, there’s a lot I don’t know. I’m more interested than before, but it’s not like I’m really paying attention…
Given my personality, I often stay at home too.
No, but was there such a flashy S-rank in Japan…?
Anyway, when I blinked, Akame next to me gave an additional explanation.
“The Ninja Fuma Masanari. Despite his appearance, he’s a superhuman only known by those who know. As his name suggests, he’s a secretive guy since he’s a ninja. It’s natural that you don’t know, Han-ul.”
She seemed to know well, probably because he’s a superhuman from the same country as Akame.
“That man was an underworld big shot who divided the Japanese underworld with Toyoda Yamatake, whom I killed in the past with Han-ul’s help. Now that Toyoda is dead, his influence has probably grown even more. It wouldn’t hurt to be cautious.”
Wait, such a big shot came all the way here from across the sea?!
Isn’t this meeting too intense a person on the first day of restarting business?!
Anyway, while I was nervous about what kind of fortune this gentleman would ask for, Fuma Masanari’s expression hardened.

“It seems you’ve heard about me from Fire Sword. Good. Then let’s get straight to the point.”
As he hardened his expression and set the mood, I also got nervous and swallowed hard at that moment!
Masanari revealed his purpose.
“Please help me with my love problem, teacher!!!”
“What???”
The request, which was more absurd than expected, was made desperately, even banging his head on the table.
