Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Chapter 104 - Home-cooked Meal



The place where our parents live is quite an expensive apartment.
It’s not that the facilities are particularly amazing, but it’s expensive because it’s safe.
These days are quite dangerous, you see. It’s not uncommon to suddenly encounter monsters popping out on the street.
Because of that, cars are expensive and not used much, so many people around the world tend to use public transportation.
Especially in our country, since it’s operated by the government, they’ve installed defensive artifacts in all public transportation, and some public transportation even employs superhumans as drivers who are government officials, so it’s quite safe.
Thanks to that, taxis have almost gone bankrupt and their numbers have greatly decreased.
Only high-grade private taxis that operate after acquiring one or two defensive artifacts are running on a small scale.
Anyway, I digressed a bit, but I bought this apartment for them right away when I made some money from fortune-telling.
Actually, although I’m called a fortune-teller who makes money by fortune-telling, rather than earning money from that… I rake in money related to the superhuman industry, so I have an overflow of money that’s enough to spend lavishly and still have leftovers, but I don’t have anywhere to spend it.
I received an extra-large house, and aren’t there S-rank and above superhumans overflowing around me? Even the car was a gift.
So I don’t have anywhere big to spend it, so I just gave it generously to my parents.
I bought them a house, bought them a building, sent them on trips, and… did various things. Actually, I couldn’t think of many amazing things, so I just gave them more cash.
I gave them enough money to spend lavishly for a lifetime and still have leftovers, so they said I don’t need to bring more, so I’m not giving them anymore now. But it’s even scarier that it didn’t even make a dent in my assets…
Anyway, this apartment is quite safe.
A superhuman is the security guard, it’s a building with byproducts from dungeons, and defensive artifacts are embedded here and there.
Well, it should be safe unless a major accident occurs.
‘In the first place, I bought it for them after fortune-telling and seeing that no major incidents would occur until my parents pass away…’
“Hoeng… Is this what apartments are like these days meow!? It wouldn’t have been easy to rob in my old days meow!”
“Is robbing the first thing you think of…”
“Hehe, I’ve quit now, but it’s kind of an occupational disease…”
Hmm, is this some kind of joke to relieve his tension since he seemed nervous?
Anyway, after passing through security and roughly parking the car in the empty parking lot, I took the elevator up with Heukmyo.
And then I entered normally by inputting the password on the door lock.
“Mom, Dad. I’m here~.”
“Hm? Han-ul’s here?”
“Oh my, it’s been a while, but what brings you here?”
“Haha, do I need a reason to visit family? I just thought of you and dropped by. I also have some things to give you.”
“Ah, hello Mother, Father…! Nice to meet you! I’m Heukmyo meow!”
Heukmyo popped out from behind me, who had entered smiling normally, and bowed at an acute angle beyond right angle, extremely nervous.
“Oh my, who is this, Han-ul? You usually come alone, what’s the occasion today? Could it be… that kind of thing??”
“Hoho… It’s not like that, just a colleague and friend. We’re living together because the house is so big.”
“That house really is big. It’s good that you have someone living with you, if you lived alone it would have been quite scary, right? Uhahah! Anyway, come in! Why are you so nervous? Hahaha!”
“Ah, yes!”
Anyway, like that, Heukmyo managed to enter the house, albeit stuttering and stumbling.
“Why are you so nervous? Someone might think you’re entering an S-rank dungeon.”
“W-well… They’re the teacher’s parents, aren’t they?! They might be amazing people even beyond EX-rank…”
“What? Hahaha! You were thinking that?”
Well, I might do some fortune-telling… but I’m just a special case, our parents are ordinary.
They’re ordinary people who have lived ordinary lives their whole lives.
“I-is that so meow…?”
“Actually, if our parents were special, wouldn’t I have been the first to notice? It’s not like I don’t find this fortune-telling ability strange myself.”
Honestly, I don’t think it’s amazing compared to the S-rank or EX-rank amazing superhumans next to me. Unlike me, who’s just an ordinary person who’s good at fortune-telling, superhumans have the power to shatter the world, don’t they?
Even being like this now is just because I’m lucky.
If I wasn’t careful, I might have met some strange superhuman and ended up in a terrible state, right?
And about our parents… I had been thinking a bit about that too.
Maybe this mysterious ability of mine to fortune-tell came from my parents? Even if not, could it be related?
I had such thoughts and did fortune-telling, but I didn’t see anything special.
Our parents were ordinary. Maybe this ability of mine is also a product of chance, like how superhumans awaken their abilities by chance?
Well, that’s roughly what I think now.
Actually, how you obtained your ability isn’t important, right? What’s important is how well you use it and live with it.
“By the way, our son, have you eaten? If not, let’s eat together! We were just about to have lunch.”
“Kuu, as expected, there’s something that connects family, right? I was hungry because I couldn’t even eat breakfast!”
And I really suffered driving at the speed of sound on wide-open roads.
Hmm… That’s good because it’s fast, but it seems like it’s too fast for me, who’s not even a superhuman, to handle… I won’t drive at the speed of sound next time…
Well, Heukmyo, being an S-rank superhuman, said it was quite alright, but I’m not such a superhuman, am I?
“Mom! What’s on the menu today?”
“I’m going to make kimchi stew, is that okay?”
“Mom’s food is always delicious!”
This is really true. Our mother’s cooking skills are no joke!
“Heukmyo, is that okay with you too?”
“Of course meow!”
“Hoho… By the way, a guest came and I couldn’t even greet properly. Nice to meet you. I’m Dam Ji-ho (地護), Han-ul’s father.”
“Ah! I’m Heukmyo meow! I’m indebted to the teacher meow! Please speak comfortably meow!”
“Uhoho! Then I won’t hesitate! Our Han-ul isn’t causing any trouble, is he?”
“How could he meow! Thanks to the teacher, I’ve reformed and am living a completely successful life meow!!”
“Is that so? Then that’s a relief!”
My father smiled contentedly and then patted my shoulder with a playful smile.
“She’s quite a cute girl! Are you interested in her? If you’re dating, I approve. At least she doesn’t seem like someone who would harm you!”
Twitch twitch!
Hmm, are Heukmyo’s ears twitching…?
“Oh my, interested, you say.”
She’s an S-rank, you know… Honestly, even if I were interested, wouldn’t she be a tree I couldn’t climb? Though I’m not particularly interested in her as a lover.
If she were a lover… Hmm, it would be quite burdensome…
Is it because even though I live as a supposedly skilled fortune-teller, my mindset still hasn’t escaped that of an ordinary citizen?
Droop…
Hmm, did her ears droop a bit, or is it my imagination?
Anyway, soon the food was prepared, and as we took out the side dishes and scooped rice, we could finally eat today’s first meal.
Hmm, home-cooked meals are really the best~.
“But you’re eating two bowls?”
“Hoho, after eating the medicine you gave us, we became a bit too healthy! So these days, the food goes down smoothly!”
“Wow, you’ll easily live to 200 years old?”
Heukmyo was also eating silently but with sparkling eyes, which seemed to please him quite a bit.
Well, our mom’s cooking skills are really amazing.
“Oh my, come to think of it, I didn’t even know the guest’s name! What’s your name, young lady? Are you getting along well with our Han-ul?”
“Ah, yes! My name is Heukmyo and I’m getting along well with the teacher meow!”
“Hoho, I see! I’m Yoo Hae-yeon (流海連). I hope we can see each other often in the future?”
“Hehe, thank you meow! Ah! And please speak comfortably!”
And my mother said similar words to me.
No, are our parents wanting grandchildren now too…??
“Kekeke, how can we help it if we’re suddenly interested in such things after quitting all our jobs and living in luxury thanks to you? When you get old, you just start thinking about these things~.”
“A guy who hasn’t even held a girl’s hand bringing such a cute child, how could our eyes not go round?”
“Tsk, I don’t know, I don’t know~.”
As the conversation was about to lead to a strange topic, I took out the gifts I had brought to change the subject.
Whew, it’s really convenient to bring gifts when you have a subspace-like thing, isn’t it?
“Anyway, please accept these! I brought some nice things.”
“Oh my, what have you brought so much of this time?”
“It’s nothing special. Just some defensive artifacts because the world is dangerous these days, and for this, if you have someone to give it to, please do. You were saying you were thinking of opening a shop, right?”
“Come to think of it, I had some things to ask about that… Hoho, you came at a good time! And we’ll use these well!”

“You know safety comes first, right? Always wear them when you’re outside the house!”
“Alright, alright.”
As we were about to clean up after finishing the meal and giving them the gifts, Heukmyo suddenly stood up.
“Since I got to eat, I’ll do the cleaning up meow!”
“Oh my, how can we shamelessly let a guest do that?”
“Nyahaha! It’s okay, Mother! Despite how I look, I’m quite a successful superhuman meow!”
“Even so… Then I’ll let you help just for today?”
“Leave it to me meow!”
Like that, while Heukmyo was doing the cleaning up and dishes swiftly yet steadily, I returned to the living room and received a request from our dad.
“Even so, just playing and eating with the money you gave us makes us feel quite sluggish! We’re thinking of opening a cafe or something and living as owners, the two of us, but could you do a fortune-telling on where we should set it up?”
“A cafe? That’s a bit unexpected. Anyway, I understand. Of course I should do it for you!”
Whew, it’s time to take out my soulmate, the game card, after a long time!
I smiled and took out my amateur fortune-telling exclusive card that I always carry around now because I feel empty without it, from the subspace where I left the gifts.
