mtl008 Chapter 143 Shinjuku Street
Chapter 143 Shinjuku Street
On the bustling and crowded streets of Shinjuku, at the corner between a convenience store and a large game hall, closer to the sidewalk, there is always a mysterious fortune teller setting up her small but professional-looking stall.
On this somewhat sultry night, the young and beautiful fortune teller still came to work on time. Although her intuition told her that there would not be many customers today, she still dressed neatly and showed up on time.
Chihaya Mifune usually doesn't tell her name to guests. Some regular customers may know her last name or simply call her Miss Tarot, but - she really rarely introduces herself.
Except today I met a very familiar customer with a very strange sense of clothing.
"Hello, my name is Chihaya Aine! I want to ask you for divination!"
This strange girl with pink hair and a sundress seemed to have some kind of magic that made Chihaya Mifune subconsciously introduce herself in response.
"Chihaya Mifune... um, please sit down."
Although this outgoing girl looked calm and easy to deal with, Chihaya Mifune was still sweating profusely.
My intuition...my intuition is a bit bad. I'm afraid I'm going to fall today.
"May I ask what you would like to divine?"
After calming her somewhat unstable mind a little, Chihaya Mifune put on the formulaic smile she usually wore when entertaining guests, and her weak and pleasant voice was as sweet as a silver bell.
“Well, that’s a long story… Miss Mifune, you don’t charge by the hour here, right?” Aine thought about it carefully, then scratched her head sheepishly.
So think carefully and briefly about what you want to ask before you come!
"It's okay, just say it."
After all, he's a guest, so I should stay calm and just treat it as a story... Why do I always feel speechless when serving this guest? He didn't say anything bad and his attitude was very gentle.
"That's it..."
Stream-saving version: Mygo’s first official single was released on several larger platforms yesterday, but as a new band, Mygo itself does not have much attention on the Internet, so Aiyin is very worried about the number of views of everyone’s work.
But for such a simple thing, Aine actually talked about it for almost twenty minutes, and during that time she also interspersed it with meaningless katakana and professional terms, names of people that Chihaya Mifune didn't recognize, and inexplicable Internet terms...including but not limited to the above.
"Huh...so why don't you come and see for yourself?"
My fees are quite high, although they have been slightly reduced due to the recent economic downturn. But would you rather pay me 3,000 yen than even lift a finger to do something?
"Because I don't dare, hehe~"
Okay... Chihaya Mifune shuffled the stacked tarot cards one by one and asked the girl, who couldn't tell whether she had too much sugar or was ridiculously cute, to choose three cards herself.
"...In general, your fortune will not improve in the near future, but will remain in a relatively stable state." After considering her words for a while, Chihaya Mifune described the results told her by Tarot in concise language.
"However, after a mysterious opportunity, your career luck will be very good!"
Although Mifune Chihaya has no idea what the opportunity is and is too lazy to know...but it's good that it exists!
"Hey, thank you!"
These words sounded somewhat comforting to Aine. The result of Miss Mifune's divination was that her new song would not be very popular, but out of kindness she still comforted herself.
So there was no intention to blame Chihaya Mifune. Aine respectfully handed over a few bills totaling 2,000 yen, smiled sweetly, and bowed politely.
"Thank you, Miss Mifune. I'll come back here to see you next time I have any questions!"
Little sister... This girl is not sweet at all! She is just very cute! She calls me little sister!
After smiling and waving goodbye to Aine who was still walking away happily, Chihaya Mifune sat back down at her stall, straightened her back, and prepared to receive the next customer.
Hey, I remember Miss Aine said their band is called mygo... Let's search it, if their songs are really good, please contribute some traffic!
However, the data displayed on the mobile phone was somewhat beyond Chihaya Mifune's expectations.
Mygo!!!!!!!... They have 14,000 followers on YouTube. This kind of popularity would make them a relatively well-known high school band outside of Tokyo, right?
Chihaya Mifune quickly turned her attention to the latest video.
"Ichishizuku Sora", 62,000 views... they must be a very popular new band!
Tarot! Has my divination skill really regressed?
"...Ms. Fortune Teller, are you receiving guests now?"
A rather hoarse voice sounded, and Chihaya Mifune no longer had time to look at her phone. She quickly stood up to greet this... well, very sloppy guest!
"Yes, please sit down!"
Chihaya Mifune didn't dare to be disrespectful. Look at this man wearing an unbranded brown short jacket and a black mask... Mr.? Ms.?
She had a freshly shaved head, shaved eyebrows, and no Adam's apple. She looked like a woman. But just looking at her thin but strong arms, it seemed that if the divination results were not satisfactory, she would suddenly pull out a knife and stab herself to death.
"I'm testing my career luck."
"Well, please sit down!"
It's a macro shot, please don't stab me to death.
"...Well, the result of my divination is just for your reference, please don't mind."
The result was not ideal. Tarot told Chihaya Mifune that the career luck of the lady in front of him had reached its peak, but it was difficult to say such words out loud.
"You tell me, I don't mind."
"Well," Mifune Chihaya said solemnly, clearing her throat after receiving her guest's approval. "Your career has already reached its peak, so I'm afraid it will remain stable in the future... or perhaps decline, but that's entirely up to you."
Unexpectedly, the customer didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he paid 4,000 yen and said, "I understand. I have one more question."
"But..." Mifune Chihaya hesitated. According to the rules, a person can only read the divination once...
"This person——" A printed half-length photo was taken out from the guest's arms. It showed a noble lady dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing expensive earrings and jewelry.
"Can this person be the principal?"
I study Tarot, not face reading... After muttering a few words to herself, Chihaya Mifune still looked at it very seriously.
After all, it’s not my professional skill, so it’s better not to make rash judgments... Forget it, just trust your intuition!
"With all due respect, I'm afraid that's not possible." Chihaya Mifune shook her head apologetically, and the photo was moved in front of the guest. "And..."
Mifune Chihaya thought about the rest of the sentence but didn't say it out loud, instead keeping it to herself. Besides, the lady in the photo is actually you, right? Your eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as in the photo.
"...Please take another look. I can add more money."
The guest's aura suddenly changed, and an indescribable pressure began to overflow. Although the guest still spoke politely, Chihaya Mifune was sweating profusely.
"There's no need to continue watching. Please go back."
Chihaya Mifune still insisted on her intuition and returned the money.
"To be honest, I'm not good at face reading, but my intuition tells me so, so you don't have to take my words to heart. I'll return the money to you."
She forced herself to keep her eyes on the customer for a few seconds. The dangerous, wolf-like look in her eyes made Chihaya Mifune feel uneasy, but there was nothing to be afraid of - at most her stall would be overturned, and she wouldn't be beaten or anything like that. This is a society ruled by law!
"...Tsk, forget it, just pretend I was never here."
After the guests left, Chihaya Mifune suddenly collapsed on her small table, feeling as if a huge stone had fallen from her heart.
Alive...alive!
God Emperor above... Wait, who is God Emperor? Why am I called that?
Anyway, let’s quickly close the stall today, go back to listen to some music and rest!
