The Trickster's Ninth Episode

"Why did you bring this up again? Didn't I say it? I..." Yagami Takayuki resignedly refused.

"Longzhi...you should leave Shinjuku earlier." Matsujin Gong also sighed helplessly. "If Phantom really came to you with a commission, it might not be a good thing."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Unlike Takayuki Yagami who has been unable to let go for a long time, meeting a bad lawyer who looks a lot like Takuya Kimura can only be regarded as a small episode for Ren Amamiya.

However, Matsujin Gong's worries are justified. If Amamiya Ren really went to Yagami Takayuki with the entrustment, it would definitely be a considerable amount of trouble.

After all, if it's not troublesome, then Amamiya Ren can easily solve it by herself.

After getting away from the scene, the police arrived not long after. This is different from before. The police force in the past was smaller than now.

【Not injured?This concubine can rub medicine on you!How about having a meal together by the way?The concubine is still very confident in her cooking skills in Kyoto. 】

Yu Gonglian received such a message on her mobile phone, it was obvious that the conflict just happened outside the hotel door, Long Danzun was aware of it.

[Because I met a kind person, I didn't get hurt, and didn't I say goodbye just now? ] Yu Gonglian replied.

【I want to see you~】

[Is it because the police gathered outside the bar, and Mr. Belmond had to go out to communicate and no one could help you mix drinks, so he felt lonely? 】

[Even if you want to express your refusal, it is too much to tell the guessed facts. 】

【Would that one mind? 】

【Because LLEAN called my name so no~】

Ren Amamiya frowned while chatting, Miss Longdanzun seemed to have the ability to make any conversation seem like flirting.

But in any case, it is impossible to go back and see her right now.

Ren Amamiya put away her mobile phone and walked for a while, this time he finally came near the familiar Shinjuku station.

According to memory, Ren Amamiya arrived at the place where Mifune Chihaya's stall was in his impression.

......no one?

Apart from nobody, there were no divination booths either.

Mifune Chihaya originally found a random place on the street and fixed it, and then set up a stall there every day with portable tables and stools. Strictly speaking, it is not a serious storefront.

Although she is always in that position in the game, in fact she can change the location of the stall at any time.

It's just that after a fortune-teller has gained a reputation, it's not good for business to change the location of the stall rashly.The word of mouth of most customers is only to the level of [Where the fortune-teller is very clever].

But now that no one is in the store or in, then I don't know what's going on.

Ren Amamiya thought about various possibilities carefully, and it is known that the growth of related personnel in the community after reincarnation will not disappear.Then according to Mifune Chihaya's character, would she just stay in the country?

Mifune Chihaya is a native country girl who seems to be a priestess of the local shrine. The reason why she came to Tokyo is because those people in her hometown are very disgusted with her divination ability, or in other words, [the ability to tell misfortune].

How rural can Japan be?In the countryside, there is no Internet, no fast food, no department stores, and a trip to a convenience store may be tens of kilometers away.The aging population is serious, and most people are extremely traditional, extremely stubborn, and extremely superstitious.

In one episode of the Japanese drama "Winner Is Justice", there was an episode of rural content, in which it was mentioned that a villager followed the example of an urbanite and opened a bar, bringing "modern entertainment" to the village. The grievances of those who cling to tradition.

Is art exaggerated?Not exaggerating, it can even be said to be very realistic.

From the above reasons why Mifune Chihaya left her hometown, it is not difficult to see that if Mifune Chihaya had been stronger, had a higher psychological endurance, and even been more humane, then maybe... she would not have come to Tokyo.

Many country people go to the city to pursue their future and dreams, but Mifune Chihaya is not like this. She is simply excluded and cannot stay any longer.If the factor of exclusion is put aside, perhaps she can spend her whole life in the countryside with such peace of mind.

Or, Mifune Chihaya was originally [can only predict fate but cannot change it], after being influenced by [The Fool], it became [can both predict fate and guide others to change luck], and then her situation was directly reversed.

If the real situation is the latter, then maybe Mifune Chihaya has become a well-loved and well-known shrine maiden in her hometown, and there is no reason to come to Tokyo.

They ran all the way here, and even the people and stalls are gone, what should I do?

Do you have to wait until sometime in the future when you are free, and take the time to go to Mifune Chihaya's hometown to inquire about it?

The matter has not reached this point yet, and the solution to the problem should start with a simpler direction.

Yu Gonglian looked around, trying to find someone to ask about the situation.However, the probability of finding out the other party's knowledge is too low to find a passer-by, so you have to find someone who has stayed in the neighborhood for a long time.

Those who will stay on the side of the road for a long time include those who guard the gate of the club, some who are pimps, and there may be homeless people.

There should be a selection item here.

Well, there’s really nothing to choose, whether it’s looking for a pimp or a male older sister, it’s easy to get entangled, although in Amamiya Ren’s impression, the male older sisters in this area prefer boys who are full of vigor like Sakamoto Ryuji, and they don’t like The nerdy type, but it's better not to be boring if you don't have to.

In the end, Ren Amamiya asked a janitor for useful information.

"A female fortune teller who set up a stall? Ah... I have a bit of an impression. I did see a woman setting up a stall there before. But I haven't seen it since I don't know when, maybe it was closed. Alright."

The big brother janitor is still relatively easy to talk to, but he can't provide more information.

According to what the janitor said, Mifune Chihaya had been to Tokyo, and indeed set up a roadside stall for a while, but the janitor didn't know anything about where he went afterwards.

Now that it is confirmed that Mifune Chihaya has been to Tokyo, it will be easy to handle. She once joined an organization called the Fortune Teller Association when she set up a stall in Shinjuku. The organization is doing pretty well.

Since she had joined that association, no matter whether she stopped opening the shop and went back to her hometown, or changed places, the people in that association must know her whereabouts.

But Umiya Ren doesn't know where the Fortune Teller Association is, but it doesn't matter, it's time for luck to play.

Yu Gonglian wandered along the street after she had a strong luck, planning to find someone who was pleasing to the eye to go up and ask questions.

As a result, Yu Gonglian was walking, and suddenly a person rushed out from a closed shop nearby, and grabbed Yu Gonglian's arm.

"Please! Please stay!" The man said very excitedly.

Ren Amamiya looked over strangely. The man was dressed in a very traditional fortune-teller costume, wearing a turban and a veil, making himself mysterious, and he was only missing a crystal ball.

However, although the style is traditional, there are three wheel of fortune patterns on the clothes.Although she was wearing a headscarf, people could still see her golden hair, and her voice was familiar to Ren Amamiya.

Isn't this Mifune Chihaya?

After seeing the person coming, Yu Gonglian immediately looked at the storefront where she suddenly appeared.

The first thing that catches the eye is the [Closed Store Today] sign, that is to say, the store is not open, so if you look up at the name of the store, it says [Destiny Mortals].

This looks like... an official fortune-telling shop.

At this time, Mifune Chihaya who suddenly rushed out of the store and grabbed Ren Amamiya, restrained her nervousness, and said with the fear of her offensive behavior: "Yes, I'm sorry, that... Although it is very Offend, but can I bother you."

"If possible, I would like to do a divination for you......Ah! It doesn't cost money, it only takes a while."

It is an abrupt and unreasonable request, but it cannot be said to be completely unconvincing. After all, there are still some people who believe that there is a pie in the sky. If you are more vigilant, you may worry about the fairy jumping.

But since Amamiya Ren recognized the other party as Mifune Chihaya, of course she was willing to cooperate.Not to mention that the other party's series of actions also made him very curious.

This fortune telling shop... Could it be Mifune Chihaya who opened it?

A simple inference, the original Mifune Chihaya only had the ability to predict fate, but firmly believed that fate could not be changed.When she was deceived at the beginning, she would still sell that kind of 10 yen a piece of fortune-telling stones, and then most of the money would be turned over to the Fortune Teller Association in order to continue to obtain [precious stones].

In other words, even in this state, this kind of business model is not as good as a pure charlatan, Mifune Chizao has already been able to make money.

If she retains the ability to predict fate and guide others to change their fate, and at the same time does not need to be exploited by the so-called Fortune Teller Association, then it is normal to earn more and rent a facade, isn't it?

"Excuse me, what's the matter? Don't be nervous. If you need help, just make it clear and I will consider it." Ren Amamiya is willing to cooperate, but he is not sure what is going on with Mifune Chihaya, so the answer is very formal .

"That... this..." However, Ren Amamiya's reply made Mifune Chihaya even more nervous, the problem is that the explanation is not clear!That kind of esoteric and esoteric rhetoric about divination.

Ren Amamiya guessed right, Mifune Chihaya's business is indeed very good now, especially women like to visit her fortune-telling shop very much.Her divination and fortune-telling rituals can be said to be particularly famous in this area.If she hadn't put up a closing sign at the door today, there might be people queuing up at the door right now.

Mifune Chihaya has had a strange feeling since yesterday, something is wrong but she can't quite put it into words.She did a divination for herself first, but this time, the feeling of being able to see her fate with certainty in the past was gone.

It stands to reason that the same thing should not be divined for the second time in a short period of time, but this vague and unstable feeling made Mifune Chihaya divination again, this time the feeling was much clearer, but the fortune displayed on the card and The results obtained last time were quite different.

However, Mifune Chihaya didn't think it was a problem with her divination ability, she felt that someone might have changed her fortune.

After that, she used divination to decide her future actions, and finally decided to temporarily close the business today, and she did not want to go out, and waited for the fateful encounter in the store.

And just now, when Ren Amamiya activated her strong luck ability, Chihaya Mifune suddenly had an impulse like a natural intuition, and took the initiative to come out of the shop and grab Ren Amamiya.

However, although she followed her intuition and acted, Mifune Chihaya didn't know what to do next.She wanted to see Yu Gonglian's fortune, why this person would have such a strange influence on her divination ability.But my own motives are probably incomprehensible to ordinary people, so how to persuade the other party has become a big problem.

"For divination, you have to go to the store, right?" Yu Gonglian pointed to this [Destiny Mortal]. "is it here?"

"Eh? Ah... yes, that... If you can, please come in." Mifune Chihaya felt unreal for a while at Ren Amamiya's cooperation.

Ren Amamiya and Mifune Chihaya came to the fortune-telling shop that was apparently closed, and sat down in the seats of the fortune-teller and the customer respectively.Ren Amamiya saw a timer on the table, and under the dim purple light, there was a fancy sign saying [Divination - 1200 yen/10 minutes].

In addition, there are many charging items such as transfer ceremonies. Looking at the price, it is a bit higher than the prices in Amamery Ren's memory.Like some luck-up transshipment ceremony, Ren Amamiya's impression seems to be 5000 yen, but here it becomes 10000 yen.

This transfer is often used in the game. After using it, you can drive Morgana and take Ryuji Sakamoto to the impression space to bump into people and raise P.

There is also compatibility divination (+1 favorability point) that can directly make the relationship develop. Needless to say, this must be the favorite transfer ritual of boys and girls.

It is very expensive.

This is much more formal than when she set up a stall on the roadside, and the price of this chatter is also quite expensive.

"Ah! Please don't be intimidated by the price here. This time I invited you in because of my own willfulness. All divinations are free. Of course, there will be no other additional charges." Mifune Chihaya found Amemiya Lian was looking at the price tag and explained with some anxiety.

"Well...Although I called you in, according to the fixed procedure, please let me ask, what do you want to divination?" Mifune Chihaya asked with a tarot card.

"I want to divination..." Ren Amamiya still trusts Mifune Chihaya's ability, so since he wants to divination, he really thinks seriously about which aspect of fortune he wants to know.

Generally speaking, fortune and marriage are the most frequently asked questions about divination, but for these two, the former does not need to be asked, and Amamiya Ren does not want to know about the latter.

As for fortune divination, which is more partial and still within Mifune Chihaya's ability, only luck and luck are left, right?

The luck of heaven affects a person to become excellent and improve his own fortune, which can be reflected in the smoothness of learning; while the luck of martial arts affects the success or failure of a person's career, which is reflected in whether the work is smooth or not.

"In that case, I want to divination my own fortune." Yu Gonglian smiled playfully.

"For example, when will I get superpowers? Something like that."
