Demon Slayer: I was taken home by Shinobu Kocho at the beginning.

“I see.” The woman nodded and then explained, “It’s like this, a divination is being performed here.”

"Fortune telling?" Tatsuya Kamio suddenly realized. "Is it the kind of fortune telling I remember? Like a crystal ball or tarot cards or something."

“That’s right.” The other person nodded with a smile. “However, divination needs to be done in pairs. If you are interested, you can invite your friends to come along. Divination will continue until the last day of summer vacation.”

Two people per group, huh? Tsk, can't it be three people per group?

Really.

Tatsuya Kamio nodded, then looked at the long queue.

"What time does it start in the morning, and how long does it take to complete one divination session?"

"We open at 10 a.m. every day. Each session takes about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the divination method chosen."

Kamio Tatsuya glanced at the line; it would take at least three hours to get there.

Moreover, it doesn't seem appropriate to call Kamuro or Shiina over at midday just for divination.

After thanking the staff member, Kamio Tatsuya was about to leave. He planned to ask Kamuro to come over tomorrow and try it together.

Although I went out with Shiina and Kamuro during summer vacation, this is the first time he has taken the initiative to invite me. I hope you won't be ungrateful, Masumi!

"What? They can't process a case if it's just one person?"

A slightly familiar angry voice came from the side. Kamio Tatsuya looked over and saw it was Ibuki from Class C.

I've actually seen something interesting.

Kamio Tatsuya didn't know much about Ibuki, only that she was a fighter in Class C and had practiced martial arts.

The two didn't have much interaction; the only time they met was when Ibuki acted as his liaison with Ryuen on the deserted island.

Just as Kamio Tatsuya was observing her, her gaze inexplicably turned in their direction, and their eyes met. Then, she walked over to them.

"What are you looking at?"

"Just watching the show? I can't believe you're interested in this?"

Although Ibuki's eyes were fierce, her outfit today was quite refreshing. If she were a little more docile, she might be more popular.

"So what if it is? And divination is usually done one-on-one, right? It's really incomprehensible that they require two people to be in a group." Ibuki's anger didn't seem to have subsided.

Honestly, we two aren't that familiar with each other, are we?

You wouldn't be trying to drag me into a fortune telling session, would you?

"I have no intention of having my fortune told today; I'm just here to take a look."

"Huh?" Ibuki frowned, then understood what Kamio Tatsuya meant. "You don't think I'm trying to invite you to do a fortune telling, do you?"

"That's good, otherwise I won't find it interesting when I come tomorrow."

"Go to hell, you narcissist!"

I shouldn't have any reason to be criticized, right?

Kamio Tatsuya was speechless, but after seeing Ibuki's expression, he seemed to understand, and then a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"Oh dear, you're not jealous that I can always find partners to do fortune telling with, are you?"

Sure enough, these words made Ibuki even angrier.

"Should I call Long Yuan over for you? I think he would be happy to help you."

As he spoke, Kamio Tatsuya took his phone out of his pocket.

"Are you kidding me? I don't want to see that guy's face during the holidays!"

"Really? You were sticking to Ryuen the whole time on the ship, never leaving his side." Kamio Tatsuya clearly wasn't going to let Ibuki off so easily.

"That's because I get harassed by the girls in Class D."

Kamio Tatsuya certainly knew the reason, because she had stolen Karuizawa's underwear at Class D's camp, causing chaos in Class D at the time.

After returning to the ship, the girls in Class D frequently teamed up to cause her trouble.

To avoid these unnecessary troubles, Ibuki simply went out with Ryuen.

With Longyuan's aura, those idiots in Class D didn't dare to approach at all, which saved her a lot of trouble.

But even though I know it, I'll still make fun of it.

"Oh, I see!"

Then, Kamio Tatsuya shut his mouth and didn't say anything, just looked at Ibuki with an "I understand" look, which made Ibuki so angry that she wanted to go crazy.

Chapter 162 Masumi, let's go out and play!

Interesting, Ibuki's expression right now is really interesting.

However, although it was very interesting, Tatsuya Kamio decided that it was better to stop now. After all, they would be classmates in the future, and it wasn't right to tease her like this.

And this guy seems to be really good at fighting; it wouldn't be fun if he got beaten up.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now." After taking a few steps, Kamio Tatsuya turned back again. "Are you sure you don't need me to call Ryuen for you?"

Seeing Ibuki on the verge of exploding, Kamio Tatsuya slipped away.

Exciting, really exciting.

Men, you know, they just can't stand not acting like idiots for a day.

After leaving the shopping center, Kamio Tatsuya called Kamuro.

"Hey, Masumi, there's a fortune-telling event at the shopping mall, wanna come check it out?"

At this moment, in Masumi Kamuro's dormitory, Kamuro is lying on her bed, her fair legs swinging up and down, showing how happy she is after receiving Tatsuya Kamio's call.

"I've heard about that too, but it's surprising that you're interested in it, Tatsuya."

"It's human nature to join in the fun, and it's really popular. I just passed by there, and there was a really long queue."

Upon hearing this, Kamuro remained silent for a brief moment.

"You didn't go to the shopping mall with Shiina again, did you?"

What's with this guy's jealousy now?

So cute.

"I came here to eat alone after I finished my student council work."

Kamio Tatsuya explained with a smile.

Then Kamuro realized he had been overly sensitive.

As for whether Kamio Tatsuya was lying, she didn't even consider it, because after spending so much time together, she knew Kamio Tatsuya quite well.

He wouldn't lie about something like this; otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out that way when we had barbecue last time.

That's actually the case. When it comes to this kind of thing, Kamio Tatsuya either doesn't say anything or tells the truth.

Since I'll have to confess sooner or later anyway, it's better to take the most difficult path now than to face the nightmare of chasing after my wife later. Once I break through the key points, the rest will be a smooth road ahead.

"I see. What time tomorrow morning?"

"I asked the staff when I passed by, and they said it starts at 10 o'clock. But considering that I might have to wait in line for a long time if I come late, how about 9 o'clock?"

"Okay, I'm fine. Let's meet downstairs as usual."

After ending her call with Tatsuya Kamio, Kamuro opened her wardrobe and began humming a tune as she put together an outfit for tomorrow.

The next day, Tatsuya Kamio got up earlier than usual because he wanted to get himself ready properly, especially his hair. He not only had to wash it, but also use hairspray to style it.

Since they had taken the initiative to invite Kamuro out, they couldn't just give them a perfunctory response.

Sure enough, when she saw Kamuro on the first floor, her eyes were full of satisfaction, and Kamio Tatsuya was also impressed by Kamuro's attire today.

She wore a white women's blouse, the hem of which was tucked into black slim-fit trousers, which showed off her slender waist, well-developed breasts, and long, shapely legs.

She was wearing a pair of white strappy mid-heel sandals.

Looking at Kamuro's fair feet, Tatsuya Kamio could only say that this was definitely a blessing for foot fetishists!

"Let's go."

Then, Kamuro generously took Tatsuya Kamio's hand and headed towards the shopping mall.

Walking down the street, feeling Kamuro's soft little hands, Tatsuya Kamio felt that the weather seemed unusually hot today.

"Masumi, don't we look like a couple going out together on a holiday?"

"Idiot! What are you saying?"

Ugh……

"That's how it is..."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"There's nothing there!" Kamuro turned her head away, preventing Tatsuya Kamio from seeing her face. "Let's hurry up and go, the sun is so strong."

Although the weather is hot, the school has decent greenery. There are trees planted on both sides of the road from the dormitory to the shopping center, which can provide students with some shade in the hot summer.

Stepping inside the Beech Tree Shopping Center, a blast of cool air immediately soothed Tatsuya Kamio's feverish body.

"Has Masumi had breakfast yet? Would you like to have breakfast together first?"

Kamuro shook his head, then nodded.

Although it seemed strange, Tatsuya Kamio understood what she meant: she hadn't eaten yet, so she could go and have breakfast now.

"What would you like to eat? Rice balls, sandwiches, or crepes?"

Because he was about to have to queue, Tatsuya Kamio chose items that he could take with him.

"A sandwich would be convenient. I've heard that a lot of people come here for fortune telling."

A few minutes later, Tatsuya Kamio and Kamuro arrived on the fifth floor with sandwiches.

"Wow, there are so many people." Looking at the crowd ahead, Kamuro couldn't help but exclaim, "Looks like we're a bit late."

"It's definitely not that we're late, it's that these guys are too early."

Kamio Tatsuya also started complaining. It's not even 9:30 yet, and there are already more than ten groups of people ahead of them. Even if they join the queue now, it will probably be noon before it's their turn.

Thankfully, someone suggested we go eat, otherwise we probably would have starved to death by noon.

"But since it's so popular, the fortune telling must be very accurate, right?" Kamuro didn't seem worried about the long queue at all; instead, he looked eager to try it out.

So-called divination is a kind of suggestion. Through cold reading and keen observation, this is then conveyed through clever words, making the other person believe that you can see into their future or past.

To be honest, Tatsuya Kamio didn't believe in divination before.

But since this world can have things like time travel and systems, it's not surprising that divination exists, right?

"So the person you invited to do the divination with you wasn't Shiina."

Just as Tatsuya Kamio and Kamuro were quietly heading towards the back of the line, Tatsuya Kamio heard something he didn't really want to hear.

Damn it, Ibuki Mio, why are you always haunting me?

And are you even speaking human language?

Saying this in front of me and Masumi?

Are you a human being?

"Who do we have here? Isn't this Ibuki from Class C? You should know that fortune telling can only be done in pairs. Did you really invite Ryuen to come and keep you company?"

Hurting each other? Anyone can do that!

Sure enough, after being told that, Ibuki immediately jumped up and down in anger.

“I was just thinking that maybe I could get them to do divination by myself, and I should have said that I am very interested in divination.”

"How pitiful, you can't even find someone to do a fortune telling with you. If you don't mind, I can lend you Tatsuya later."

Wow, Masumi-chan, you're the real villain for provoking her like that.

"No need, I'm afraid the fortune teller won't be able to continue the divination if they see the same person repeatedly."

Ibuki has never been good at talking, and now she is facing a two-on-one situation, so it is only natural that she can't win the argument.

"Um, did I disturb you?"

Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, an unexpected person appeared: Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, who stood expressionless at the very back of the group.
