There are many stalls at the Rokwang Festival. There are a variety of stalls, from the standard festival stalls to full-fledged restaurants.
　Most of the shops are run by the Sixth King, but if you apply in advance, even invited guests can set up a shop.

　Elise, a high-ranking demon, was one of those who applied to open a restaurant.
　Although she is certified as a high-ranking demon because of her magical power, she is not a knighthood. And she had no fighting ability at all, and had little to do with the Sixth King.
　However, Elise had a talent for fortune-telling and making magic tools, and she lived a meager life while running a small shop.

　I've been invited to the Sixth King's Festival because of their connections to the Sadieitch Magic Tool Trading Association, although it's a small connection. Since this was a great opportunity, I applied to open a stall for my specialty of fortune telling, and here we are.
　To tell the truth, I wish I could use this opportunity to get to know a high-ranking demon, such as an earl or other high-ranking demon, although I also have a small ulterior motive.

　I'm a petty person and don't have big ambitions, but I'm also a bit greedy there. Such a normal existence. But now she was facing the biggest crisis ever.

I want you to read my affair....
Hi!

　Recovering from the shock of seeing a woman who looks exactly like their mother, Kaijin and Isis are once again making the rounds of the festival. They stop by Elise's shop, which they happen to see by chance. That's all there is to it in words.

(Sh, Dead King-sama!　Ugh, lie, ho, it's real.......no, it's definitely real!　My body hasn't stopped shaking since a while ago... (I'm scared...)

　To an ordinary demon race like hers, Isis is the very symbol of fear, even a symbol of fear, and just the mere mention of being in front of her caused a large amount of cold sweat to flow out of her.
　And unfortunately, because he has an unusually large amount of magical power, he is unable to faint.

　

　Although he is not aware of it, Kaito is reasonably well known in the demon world. He communicates with the Sixth King, the pinnacle of the demon world, and holds the only black-ranked invitation to the human world. To Elise, it can be said that he is on top of a cloud.
　However, Kaito doesn't seem to have much of an interest in using the black-ranked invitation, which is free of charge for all facilities 'if you present it', and he usually pays for it at the stall, and he didn't particularly want to present it this time, either.

　That was half because he was sorry that it was free, and half because he didn't want to stand out by presenting a black-ranked invitation.
　However, he was already conspicuous when he was with Isis, but around not noticing that, he still seemed to be missing something.

(Ugh, rumor has it that 'the Dark Lord lost', 'he took care of more than 100 black bears in an instant', 'he overwhelmed the War King-sama's subordinates', 'he won a serious battle with the War King-sama', 'he beat the Phantom King-sama and made him his subordinate'... ...the rumor!)

　Although it was something that would make his head spin if he heard it, the impression of Kaito to the general demon race was roughly like this.

(Ah, affinity reading?　The two of them?　.........wow, you're going to get killed if you get a bad result!

　Of course it wasn't. However, seeing Kaito and Isis, who could be said to be heavenly beings, Elise had completely lost her composure.

''........what kind of.......fortune telling.......?''
(HUH?!　My Lord Death King do you not know my fortune telling?　Nah, then we might be able to manage it!　(Which, no matter what the results are, if you say 'it's the best match' or something like that...)
According to the guidebook, it's like a card-based fortune-telling. Well, it's a form of affinity prediction, so it's said to draw 4 cards, one for each woman, one for each man, and then divine the pattern and the order in which it appears. All the combinations are on there too.
(Why are you saying that, human?　I mean, what is that guidebook?　Do they even know all the combinations?　

　The faint glimmer of light was shattered by Kaito, and Elise took out the cards for divination with her trembling hands and placed them in two separate piles.
　For a moment she thought about adjusting the patterns on the cards with a cheat, but she didn't have the confidence to deceive these two, and Elise had no choice but to divine it as normal.

''........So, then, then, from the Dead King-sama.......Yo, draw four cards......''
(When this happens, all we can do is pray!　God, creation God, please. (Please give me a good result.)
Okay.

　Elise's affinity reading is done with a total of 28 cards, including four cards of seven different types: heart, sword, sun, moon, star, flower, and crown.
　The result depends on the combination of the pattern and the order in which they appear.

(Please. Please draw a heart!　(If hearts are the beginning, they all usually turn out good...)
"...moon...
(Uh-oh!　The moon!　Not in the first month!　(That's a pretty good chance of a bad outcome...)
...Stars ...swords ...moon ...?
(.........done. (It's impossible to get 4 hearts in a row from the remaining 24 cards)

　The cards that Isis drew had only one 'best result' pattern in the fortune telling, and the rest were all combinations and orders that could only be a bad match.
　Elise had a soul-deprived expression on her face and vaguely turned her gaze towards the next Kaito to draw.

''........Kaito's......turn.
(...I'm going to die here. There were still things I wanted to do and things I wanted to eat, but I was greedy, at least a little. I wish I could have made a connection to someone famous... but nothing has to happen like this...)
'Oh, yes ... er ... a heart. Next..........Huh?　It's a heart again...and the third one is a heart?　...and the fourth one?　It's a rare thing sometimes. They were all hearts.
Really?
'Heh?　Ah, ha, yes.

　Elise, who had let go of her mind, instantly came to herself when she saw the card that Kaito had drawn and crowded in with a bite.
　When Kaito nodded his head while being astonished by the change in his leopardishness.......Elise shouted with a small tremble in her shoulders and then shouted with a gut pose.

''Great!　It's a great combination!　The chemistry between the two of them couldn't be better!　The red thread of fate and all those connections!
Oh, really?
Yes, they are just the best couple!
Kite and ... the best couple ... I'm happy.

　Thanks to the best result in a way that can be called a major reversal, Isis smiles a heartfelt happy smile and squeezes Kaijin's hand lovingly.
　Seeing such an Isis, Kaijin also squeezes her hand back while looking a little shy, and the sweet air unique to lovers begins to flow between them.

''Thank you........this........for the bill.
'Oh, yes......................Dead King!　This is, is a white gold coin!
I'll take the change.
'What?　No, no, um... yes.

　After handing the white gold coin to Elise with a heartfelt happy smile, Kaito and Isis left in good company.
　After vaguely looking away from them, Elise let out a big.......really big sigh.

''Haaahhhhh.......Yo, good. I didn't get killed........

　Incidentally, even if the result was bad, she didn't get killed. It was only a mistake on her part.
　Elise, who was relieved, didn't know yet. After this, she heard from Isis that the Dark Lord and the Phantom King would come to the shop with Kaito.......
