Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

About a week passed after I hung up on that surprisingly shocking spam call.
During that time, nothing much happened except for Hatieri, who had been playing around, going back, and me reading fortunes for regular customers twice.
“…But why do I feel tired even though nothing special happened…?”
It seems that knowing a dangerous person called Poison Demon knows my identity and not knowing when that contact will come is unexpectedly stressful.
Is it the difference between waiting while knowing and waiting without knowing?
How should I put it… It feels quite cowardly to feel such excessive anxiety despite Hatieri’s words, but what can I do? That’s who I am, even if I’m called a fortune-telling teacher or whatever…
Aoh, I should change somehow though. At this rate, I feel like I won’t be able to die when I’m supposed to…
Even financial therapy has its limits… These days, as money increases too much, it’s becoming rather burdensome.
I was just an ordinary citizen until a few months ago…!! I was even unemployed and looking after my friend’s shop!!
For such a person, things like being an executive of a huge underground organization, an outside director of a top 10 guild in Korea, or the master of Flower Sword, one of the Three Great Sword Saints and an S-rank superhuman from Japan, don’t really sink in!! And all the other miscellaneous things too!
Not only have I earned enough money to play around for a lifetime, but money keeps copying itself, so I’m starting to get scared!! I feel like an idiot for being shocked when Akame asked for a monthly salary of 30 million won!! The incoming money far exceeds that situation!!
Ah, come to think of it, that guy running the tarot card shop… I heard his love life is going very well these days…
That guy is both a benefactor and an enemy who completely changed my life for better or worse… Last time I sent him a set of Korean beef to grill with his girlfriend and enjoy his love life, filled with my tears of blood and gratitude.
Sigh… Since I seem to be going wrong, at least you should live an ordinary and sweet life…
If he gets married later, I should send him a refrigerator or something…
Anyway, I’ve been looking into things related to fortune-telling lately… It seems I need to find a way to recover my mental health.
Hmm, should I try meditation, which is one of the most widely known methods?
So, as I sat in a proper posture, straightened my back, and closed my eyes in a somewhat familiar way…!
Diriding ding diding ding ding ding!
…A strange ringtone rang out.
No! Of all the timing for a phone call!!
Moreover, the phone call came from the phone containing the Poison Demon’s contact information, which could be called the root of all evil for my mental problems over the past week!
Anyway, I hurriedly answered the phone, and an unfamiliar man’s voice came from the other side.
[Is this Dam Han-ul, the fortune teller from Korea, an executive of Vargfang, an outside director of Cheongson Guild, and the master of Flower Sword?]
“Uh… That’s right, but why such an uncomfortable confirmation…”
And for a moment, I was flustered by the extremely fancy titles that I had never received before.
No, what’s with this terribly burdensome hybrid title! Although it’s true…
[Hmm, so it is you. As you probably expected, sir… I am a subordinate of Master Poison Demon. I’m calling because the preparations to bring you here are almost complete.]
“I, I see…”
It was burdensome before hearing it, and it was burdensome after hearing it. Damn, just the Poison Demon itself is extremely burdensome.
[After all preparations are complete and we depart… The personnel to escort you will probably arrive at your residence two days later in the evening. We’ve already prepared most things, so if you just prepare your fortune-telling tools and simple travel preparations, there should be no problem.]
“Ah, I see… Understood.”
[Ah, do you have any companions who will be coming with you?]
“Uh… Probably about 3 people will be coming with me.”
[Hmm… 3 people, noted.]
Sigh, yeah. Let’s try to think positively. Isn’t having positive thoughts the way to live long? The secret to longevity is to have less stress, after all.
…But am I destined to live with stress all the time? It probably won’t work…
Aish, I should refrain from such negative thoughts too! I’m going crazy!!
Anyway, it seemed that thinking of it as a free overseas trip would be the most comfortable. After all, I’ve never traveled abroad before.
[Then… We’ll see you in two days, in the evening, sir.]
“Yes. Understood…”
And so, the date for me to cross over to China to meet the Poison Demon was set.

Two days passed without anything special happening…
As the time for the Poison Demon’s subordinates to arrive approached, I sighed deeply with worry.
“…It’s not easy to shake off worries…”
Well, it’s not a simple task for me, who has lived as an ordinary citizen all my life, to adapt so suddenly.
It’s not like I can change my personality either. And isn’t that even harder?
“Hmm… Come to think of it, can I read my own physiognomy?”
Perhaps because I sighed in front of the mirror hanging above the sink, such a thought suddenly occurred to me.
Aren’t you a bit curious? In movies and such, they say shamans can’t foresee their own fate, and even the most extraordinary prophets can’t change their own destiny.
Well, movies are movies and reality is reality, so they’re most likely to be different… But I was still curious, so I looked at my face in the mirror.
By this point, I realized that I had the power of a fortune teller with quite a high accuracy rate, even if I didn’t know the reason why I had such power.
“Hmm…”
Anyway, as I looked at myself in the mirror, I touched my face and read my physiognomy, and read something.
“…Good medicine tastes bitter?”
It seemed that there was a limit to what I could see by looking at my own face. It was harder to see than when reading fortunes for other people, and what I saw wasn’t very clear.
Didn’t it come out quite detailed when reading fortunes for other people? It seemed that it was indeed difficult for a fortune teller to read their own fortune.
…But what kind of fortune is this? It’s not just reminiscent of the proverb that good medicine tastes bitter, it’s almost an exact copy.
“Ah, I don’t know. I’ll find out when the time comes, I guess.”
Well, isn’t it good enough that I didn’t get a fortune saying I’d be in mortal danger? I should think positively.
“Is there anything else visible?”
While I was looking at my face a bit more, wondering if anything else would come out, I heard a knock on the bathroom door.
“Han-ul, are you not done yet? It seems guests have arrived.”
“Ah… They’re here. I’ll be out soon!!”
Hearing Akame’s words, I realized that the Poison Demon’s subordinates who were supposed to come pick me up had arrived, so I quickly came out of the bathroom and grabbed the simple luggage I had prepared in advance, including clothes and cards.
As I came out of the room, Akame, Ricone, and Black Cat, who had finished their preparations and were waiting huddled together in the living room, were waiting for me.
“Oh, shall we go out then?”
As we opened the front door and went out, a thin middle-aged man with a neat impression was waiting for us.
“Nice to meet you, Dam Han-ul sir. And sir’s companions. I’m the subordinate of Master Poison Demon who contacted you before. Then… please follow me.”
Following the man who only introduced himself as the Poison Demon’s subordinate, we boarded a luxurious, spacious, and comfortable car and headed to the airport. We moved directly to the plane without going through passport checks or security screenings.
“…A private jet?”
“Haha… That’s right. We thought about seating you in first class… but since you’re Master Poison Demon’s guest and you have companions, we mobilized a private jet.”
My goodness… Living life, I’m experiencing such luxury as riding a private jet that I’ve only seen in movies or videos…
I felt like I was experiencing an unrealistically large number of experiences since starting my fortune-telling life.
Anyway, as we moved uncomfortably in the extremely luxurious and opulent private jet, receiving lavish treatment, we arrived in China so comfortably that we didn’t even know how time passed.
As expected, we passed through inspections and checkpoints freely, and the destination we arrived at after being guided was… a truly enormous mansion with a deep green hue.
A vast mansion so large that we had to travel for quite a while by car even after passing through the large and sturdy-looking walls and main gate.
It was like seeing an ancient castle in person. Perhaps because it was the Poison Demon’s house, it felt somewhat eerie.
We went straight inside and entered the largest and most magnificent-looking mansion, and there I received separate guidance.
“Master Poison Demon wishes to see Dam Han-ul sir first.”
“…Well, let’s do it then.”
Since they said they wouldn’t do anything dangerous, I gathered a bit of courage hoping for that and followed the guide straight in, and was led to a room.
“Master Poison Demon will be waiting inside when you enter.”
“Ah, yes…”
As I opened the door and went inside, I felt a strange sensation from the start.
Green smoke and steam were flowing out.
“Oh, you’ve finally arrived? This is later than I expected.”
As I was looking around wondering what this was, a voice came from far away.
And right after that, with a splash sound of someone coming out of water, someone walked through the steam and smoke.
“Nice to meet you, fortune teller sir. I am the Poison Demon (毒魔), Wei Zhiying, who invited you.”
A height taller than most adult men, like a volleyball player, with flawless white skin. Mysterious secret two-tone hair with the inside being light green, green eyes, and a cool, expressionless beautiful face.
The problem is…
‘Oh my, this is crazy…’
With some unknown green liquid dripping down, that is, completely naked, they approached me. Not that anything particular was visible.
“My outstretched hand feels awkward. Are you not going to take it?”
‘I’m really dizzy…’
No, why is everyone I meet these days not normal to the point of being normal?!
I felt a moment of dizziness, whether because of the Poison Demon in front of me or because of the steam and green smoke.
