The capital of the Symphonia Kingdom. Inside the brand-new building on the largest street in the city, Elise of the high-ranking demon race had a happy smile on her face.

''Fufufu, it's finally, finally finished!　The royal city of mankind that I dreamed of!　My shop!　And a prime location on Main Street!

　She had a strange connection with Kaito at the Sixth King's Festival, which led her to open a store in the human world, which she had longed for, thanks to a word from Sharovanal.
　Moreover, due to the prestige of Shalovanal, the God of Creation, the Kingdom's side cooperated fully with me, and they completed the store in the blink of an eye with a large number of personnel in a prime location on the main street.

''Ugh, it's been a long time so far. Fortune-telling wasn't very popular in the demon world, and we had to come up with a fortune-telling method that was easy to get good results from, not a proper one, but one that was aimed at the masses.

　After muttering to herself as if she was reminiscing about the past, Elise clenched her fists in a guffaw.

''But yes, my hard work has finally paid off!　Well, I owe it mostly to that human being. Yes, I was mentally exhausted, but for that I am very grateful.

　After giving thanks to Kaito, who wasn't here, Elise muttered to herself again, still in a good mood.

''Well now, it finally opens tomorrow!　Let's see if we can divine ourselves for one economic boost!

　Muttering, Elise took out a bunch of cards from her pocket. It wasn't the tarot cards that she had arranged for the masses that she had used at the Sixth King Festival.......it was a special tarot card that Elise, who was filled with strong magical power, used when she performed her 'Serious Divination'.
　When Elise tossed the tarot cards upwards carelessly, the tarot cards broke apart one by one in the air and began to spin in a circle.
　Then, one by one, four cards slipped out of the clockwise rotation and were placed face down on the table in front of her. Then the remaining cards were bunched up again and returned to Elise's hand.

'Well now I hope it turns out well.

　As she said this, Elise rolled up the first.......leftmost card and frowned.

'Ugh, it's the reverse position noon.......not a very good card.

　The daytime card represents 'the time of year', in the positive position, when you want it, and in the reverse position, when you don't want it.......

I have a really bad feeling about this....

　The second card, the visitor's card, indicates 'events'. In the positive position, an encounter or a visit; in the reverse position, a breakup or an outing....

'Well, the third card............eek!　It's like having good luck in the opposite position, or a confirmed bad luck!

　The third card, the good luck card, shows 'influence'. In the positive position, good luck, and in the reverse position, bad luck.

'Yo, fourth card. Please!　...It sucks!　It seriously sucks!

　The fourth card appeared.................the card of the king in the positive position. This indicated a 'person', and she was despairing as she thought of the person that corresponded to it.
　And then, at the 'very unwanted timing', a certain person appeared in front of Elise, who was holding her head.

'What are you making a fuss about all by yourself?　Elise.
"...the person I least want to see is here. My luck today is terrible.
...you're being harsh all of a sudden.
So, what can I do for you?　'Lady Chartier'?

　It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any of these things.

It's time for you to get your act together. For the time being, I would like you to receive instructions from pandemonium around tomorrow.
''I knew that's what I was talking about. Can't I just refuse or something?　You see, my shop opens tomorrow.　I finally got my hands on this store...
Oh, that's okay. As far as your shop is concerned, I've made all the necessary corrections, including the flyer that says 'Open Day After Tomorrow'.
It's a demon. I have a demon.

　To Chartier, who has already turned his hand around, Elise holds her head with a despairing expression on her face.

''........Well, you can refuse if you don't want to, but.......in that case, I might inadvertently slip up regarding 'your true ability' - no, I'm also inadvertent and so on. Hey.
''Ehhh........He's threatening me, this boss. I'll be participating in the battle against the God Realm, so I hope you'll give me a break on that.
I wish I could do the same for you, but I don't have much time to spare this time.

　Hearing Chartier's words, Elise slumped her shoulders with a gulp and fell down on the desk. She was a high-ranking demon race with only a lot of magic power, not a knighthood level. She is good at divination, but she has no fighting ability........that was manipulated information.
　In the first place. She exchanged words with 'Isis at close range' at the Sixth King's Festival, let alone Sharovanal. That's not possible for a 'mere high-ranking demon tribe that isn't even at the baronial level'.......

''I mean, you're still an oddball as always, aren't you? It's not easy to 'assess yourself weakly'.
'I'm a petty person by nature!　What if you get famous and, oh, you get assassinated or something!
I'm sure there are only a handful of people who could assassinate you but, anyway, you'll have to make your move tomorrow.
I wanted to make a small fortune as a fortune teller but I just served the people who wanted to make ends meet when I wasn't successful and I made a completely wrong choice of workplace.

　

''.........By the way, by the way, it's a nice shop, isn't it?''
Hey, what's going on?　All of a sudden?
''No, it's an honest blessing. I'm glad, 'I'm going to have a shop in the human world based solely on the results of my fortune telling', my dream of many years has come true...
Oh, I have a bad feeling about this. I have a very bad feeling about this.

　Elise's expression gradually turned pale, as if she sensed what Chartier was trying to say. And as if to ridicule Elise, Chartier made a deep smile and muttered.

''Moreover, in such a short period of time in a prime location on the main street, no wonder I'm pleased as a boss. By the way........was that 'thanks to whom'?

You mean you owe Mr. Kite a lot of money, don't you?　After all, you've given me the best possible boost to my longtime dream...
Uggh, well, that's a bit of a problem.
I don't think this is a possibility, but you wouldn't....step on that debt, would you?
"...I understand!　I'll work for that human too!　It's true that I do owe you something and.......so what do I do?

　After telling her with a resigned expression and a slightly throwaway look, Elise stood up from the chair she was sitting on.......and out of nowhere, she took out the 'Black Tarot Card'.
　After looking at it and nodding in satisfaction, Chartier opened his mouth again.

''I've given the details to Pandemonium, so please take the instructions. Well, I guess we can have a proper meeting 'if you speak'.......
Yes!　What if my voice gives away my identity?　I don't want to be a knighthood or anything!
Well since you took out that card, do you plan to go now?
If you're going to move, the sooner the better. I mean, I'd like to be able to have the opening the day after tomorrow as normal, so...

　After telling her that, Elise throws the black tarot card she was holding upwards. Then the tarot card turns into a magic circle in the air, and the magic circle slowly descends on Elise's body.

...Code Phantom Menace!

　As he said the key words, a magic circle passed through Elise's body and transformed her figure. Floating in the air, it became a ghost in a translucent and empty robe........

''Then, please, 'Phantom'........''
....

　Nodding to the king's command - the ghost of disaster began to move silently behind the stage.
