572-Quiet Story Rokuo Matsuri-A Passion for a Demon Part 2






 In a corner of the hall that was extremely crowded because it was the last day of the Sixth King Festival, the high-ranking demon tribe Elise was setting up a small shop and pondering.
 The fortune-telling shop she was setting up had recorded moderate sales throughout the six days, and thanks to that, she was able to get permission to set up shop again today, the last day of the festival.

(The trouble was.... a mess. I mean, my nerves are already frayed. I think it's all because of that human! What's going on with that human! (The Death King, the World King, a nobleman of the human race, I don't know his name, but he's definitely a high-ranking demon tribe of the county level... and yesterday he was the Dark Lord... too much of a monster.

 Yes, that's why her shop was very popular throughout the six days. That's because Kaito had stopped by many times at the urging of his lover and companions.
 Thanks to that, rumors led to rumors and earned quite a bit of money, but Elise, who had general sensibilities, was tired of it.

(.................So, in the end, all the rumors about that human-san were true. Hmm, but well, thanks to that, I was able to earn more than my goal. (With this, I might be able to own a store in the 'human world of my dreams'!

 She has a small fortune telling shop in the demon world, but she wanted to expand into the human world eventually. This is because the demon world is basically a place where there are few big cities. Due to the variety of races, the majority of them were small to medium-sized towns and so on, and Elise actually set up her shop in a small town.

 That's why the royal capital of the human world, with its excellent function as a city, is a dream place for small shop owners living in the demon world. Elise, who has accumulated funds to buy a small piece of land there, continues to ponder with a smile on her face.

(But hmmm........I'm not good with the cold, and I have to think about it a bit)

 Since the Archlesian Empire is located in the northern part of the human world, it is quite cold and often snowy in the winter. There are some specialties that take advantage of that climate.

(The Kingdom of Hydra has a great vibrancy of commoners, and there are many opportunities for upward mobility... but that country is quite innovative and fashions change quickly, so I'm not sure if I can keep up with the trends.)

 In the Kingdom of Hydra, there are many things that are cutting edge, including politics, as the national style, and the fashions change very quickly. Especially since it is called the "Hydra" of clothing, clothing trends change every year.
 In order to succeed in such a Hydra Kingdom, it is better to be sensitive to trends, but Elise was not a fan of trends.

(If that's the case, the Symphonia Kingdom is still the most promising. The climate is stable throughout the year, and the food is delicious. It's a nice country with many tourist attractions. A little bit, there's too much nature and you have to travel by flying dragon flights, so transportation costs are high...)

 Elise smiled happily as she imagined her life in the royal capital of her dreams........The smile froze shortly afterwards.

(..........You're here again, human. You come here almost every day. I'm already a complete regular. Huh, who in the world are you bringing this time.........................

 The blood drained from Elise's face as she found a familiar figure of a pleasant person and moved her gaze while wondering if she had brought someone extraordinary to her again.

 Hey, hey, human! What kind of person are you bringing in! Please don't! Get away from me! 

 He screams desperately in his mind at Kaito, who is coming towards him along with Sharovanal.................but it is empty, and Kaito and Sharovanal reach the front of Elise's shop.


Hi.

 To Kaito, who told her apologetically, Elise nodded while half-sobbing.

(Hahaha, the aura........the God aura!  I mean, that's what it is, isn't it? (Even if I don't, if I don't get a bad result, I'll die, right?

 While thinking about this, Elise moves her gaze as she shuffles the cards used for divination.
 On the roof of a building quite a distance away, Kronor, the time-space god, is quietly looking at me with his arms crossed. Fate, the God of Fate, who rides on a cushion floating in the air and looks riddled, but looks at you with sharp eyes. Life God Life peering out of the shadows of the mold with an intimidating smile on his face.

(..........................Ah, this is completely dead. It's the one that will instantly turn into ground meat if there are poor results. (I like eating ground meat, but I don't want to become it myself...)

 In the face of an existence that could be considered the pinnacle in this world, Elise was rattled and trembling, but she did not despair. It was ironic, but it was because of the presence of the pleasant man here.

(Duh, it's okay. This human's luck is at a level that makes me crazy. I've been drawing four hearts all this time, so if you draw that this time, too, it'll come full circle)

 The compatibility reading that Elise does is only for the masses, and it is relatively easy to get good results. In particular, if either man or woman draws four hearts in a row, it's set up to be the best match, so either Kaito or Shallow Vanal should draw four hearts in a row.

 Under normal circumstances, the odds of drawing the same four cards in a row out of seven different cards, for a total of 28 cards, are not high. However, Kaito has drawn four hearts from the second day of the Sixth King Festival until now.
 That's why Elise hadn't lost hope.


....

 Hearing Elise's words, Shalovanal draws four cards in a beautiful, flowing motion... and they were all hearts.

(Say, that's the God of Creation!) Four hearts in a row would be the best result no matter what Mr. Human draws! Thank God my life is saved. (Now, all that's left is for the human to pull back.......)

 While relieved that her life is over, Elise urges Kaito to draw a card. And the card that Kaito drew was......................4 hearts.

(Hallelujah! Hey, why is the heart coming out again? I only put four cards in... what? (Perhaps I mixed up my spare card by mistake?)

 Elise is stunned by the sight of eight heart cards in a row when there should only be four, but she notices Sharovanal's gaze and straightens up.
 Whatever it is, in her fortune telling, drawing four hearts in a row is the best result.

''Say, best match!
Well I do have one question.
What?
With this result or 'four suns and four hearts,' which one is better?

 Elise, who is understandably horrified, asks in a voice without inflection, "What do you mean?

(Well, I've never heard the voice of the Creator God before! Nah, what a beautiful ... not, um, four suns and four hearts ... four hearts in a row is the best match, four suns in a row is the next best match ... ...I'm saying it's the best match with 4 hearts, but in that sense, it's theoretically the best one.

 By the way, the 4 sun and 4 hearts were the results of the compatibility reading conducted by Chrome-Eina and Kaito the day before, but the tempestuous Elise didn't notice that.

(Umm........to begin with, there are only four cards of the same kind in it, so it's not like it's eight hearts or something. It's irregular but........since the best match is two......)

 Elise opened her mouth somewhat anxiously after pondering a bit.


....

 While Elise tells him fearfully, Sharovanal doesn't say anything.

(What do you think?) Is this answer the right one? Is it an outlier? (Geez, I can't see his expression at all...)

 To Elise, who was silent while sweating profusely like a prisoner awaiting sentence, Sharovanal opened her mouth after being silent for a while.

''........Time and Space God.''
'Ha! Here.
'It's a great store. I think it would be nice to have it in the 'capital of the Kingdom of Sinfonia',
"As you wish.

 Hearing Shalovanal's words that told him in a matter-of-fact manner, Kronor bowed his head deeply and disappeared.

 

 It's a little further than that when Elise sets up shop in the capital of the Symphonia Kingdom and despairs when she finds out that Kaito lives rather close by.........
