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

This guy's appearance startled Tatsuya Kamio...

Holy crap, don't play horror games!

“No.” Tatsuya Kamio shook his head, then looked at Ayanokouji, who was alone, “If I’m not mistaken, you’re not here for a fortune telling too, are you?”

"Um, is there a problem?"

Ayanokouji looked at Kamio Tatsuya with a strange expression, somewhat puzzled.

Then, Tatsuya Kamio pointed to the sign at the front of the line—"Our shop only accepts groups of two. We apologize for the inconvenience."

……

"Well, that's really unfortunate."

Ayanokouji seemed a little disappointed. Could it be that he was also interested in divination?

"I think it's quite a coincidence," Tatsuya Kamio said with a mischievous grin. "It seems that this Ibuki-kun can't find a partner to do fortune-telling with either of you. Why don't you two team up?"

"That's fine with me."

Ayanokouji didn't seem to care, but Ibuki looked a little awkward.

"Although it requires two people to form a group, I don't think everyone will have their love compatibility calculated, right?"

Hearing Ibuki's words, the three people present found it amusing. They clearly wanted to agree, but they were being so hesitant.

This guy, for some reason, looks a bit like Horikita...

After exchanging a glance, Tatsuya Kamio and Ayanokouji both saw what the other was thinking.

After some self-persuasion, Ibuki decided to temporarily team up with Ayanokouji to have her fortune told.

The wait was incredibly boring, and just when Kamio Tatsuya felt he was about to fall asleep, it was finally their turn.

Chapter 163 Divination, Superstition!

Stepping inside the fortune-telling shop, Tatsuya Kamio saw many common mysterious elements. Perhaps common and mysterious don't go together, but these were truly the only words Tatsuya Kamio could use to describe it.

Dim lighting, a crystal ball, books of unknown origin that looked heavy, and an old fortune teller wearing a hood.

The presence of two backless round chairs in front of the fortune teller immediately lowered the overall quality of the establishment.

"First of all—please pay the fees first."

When the fortune teller pulled a small card reader out from under the table, Tatsuya Kamio felt that the mystery she had deliberately created vanished instantly.

This is reality; fortune tellers do need to make a living too.

"What can I ask you to do?"

Kamuro took out his phone and asked.

"I can tell you about your studies, career, love life, and the things you like."

The fortune teller gave a sinister laugh. "You're not a fortune teller, you're a witch!"

But there probably isn't a witch that looks that abstract...

While Kamuro was asking questions, Tatsuya Kamio picked up the instruction manual that was lying next to him.

It contains information on various divination methods, including crystal ball divination, tarot divination, and physiognomy—including palmistry and face reading. The most bizarre one is even character divination…

"Tatsuya, have you made your choice?"

"I have a bit of trouble making decisions, why don't you go first?"

Kamuro nodded and then chose the most basic divination, but even the most basic divination cost 5,000 points, which was the cheapest package.

Sure enough, this is a money-grabbing scheme.

The minimum charge is 5,000 per person, and at least 10,000 for two people. Judging from today and yesterday, there has been a constant queue.

Assuming eight hours of business per day, with each group operating for fifteen minutes, that's thirty-two groups, and the minimum turnover would be thirty-two hundred thousand.

You can earn about a million points in just three days...

All I can say is that students' money is really easy to make, especially those in higher education, because they are genuinely rich.

At this time, things also started on Kamuroku's side.

"Then let's begin." The fortune teller looked towards the shrine. "Miss over there, what is your name?"

"My name is Kamuro Masumi."

"My divination will look at the person's face, palm, and inner self, and I will also see things that you don't want others to see."

"Well, it's okay."

Next, the fortune teller asked Shinmuro to extend his hands, then pretended to observe them for a while before starting to mutter incantations.

"First, there's your palmistry. Your life line is very long, so you should live a long life. There's no indication that you'll suffer from a serious illness at this stage..."

They'll probably live a long life, which means you can't really tell.

As for not getting seriously ill at this stage, just look at his complexion and that's it.

Kamio Tatsuya used to have some reverence for divination, but now he's just watching for fun.

Then, the fortune teller kept talking about love, wealth, and career, mostly saying good things.

Kamuroku was overjoyed to hear this.

Regardless, the emotional value was definitely there, but spending 5,000 points in just a few minutes is really expensive.

Well, as long as Kamuro is happy, that's all that matters. Why worry about anything else? You can't really expect her divination to come true, can you?

Most of them are just seeking psychological comfort.

"Thank you."

Kamuro thanked the fortune teller with great satisfaction.

Next, it was Tatsuya Kamio's turn.

"Young man, what would you like to have divined?"

"Let me have a character analyzed."

Tatsuya Kamio noticed that there was ink and a brush on the table in front of the fortune teller.

"It takes 10,000 points to analyze a character."

Tsk, I only borrowed your calligraphy brush and ink, and you charged me an extra 5,000 points. You're really greedy.

Next, Tatsuya Kamio picked up a brush and wrote a Chinese character on the paper—神 (Shin)!

"You can actually do calligraphy? And you write it quite well."

Is it good?

Kamio Tatsuya thought it was just so-so. He had only practiced calligraphy for a few years when he was in elementary school. Back then, it was popular, and schools required students to learn calligraphy in their Chinese language classes.

"god……"

After uttering the word, the fortune teller fell silent for a long time before turning to Tatsuya Kamio with a sinister gaze.

"Young man, although you don't believe in gods, gods do exist. Your presence here is the biggest proof, isn't it?"

Kamio Tatsuya, who had initially been watching with amusement, suddenly felt his hair stand on end by those words!

"However, although your past is full of misfortune, your future is bright..."

The fortune teller then went on and on with a lot of nice things, but Kamio Tatsu didn't listen to a word of it.

It wasn't until the last sentence that Tatsuya Kamio returned to normal.

"Your family is waiting for you at home, so try your best to be someone who won't let them down."

Okay, I thought you really had some skills, but it turns out you're just a fraud.

My family is long gone!

Emerging from the divination room, Tatsuya Kamio felt that his 10,000 points had indeed been wasted.

Before leaving, Tatsuya Kamio gave Ayanokouji a look that said, "Good luck to you."

"It's almost lunchtime, Masumi. What would you like to eat?"

"How's the ramen?"

Kamuro offered a suggestion, but Tatsuya Kamio was somewhat speechless.

I always feel like people will look down on me if I take you out for ramen.

"Huh? Why?"

"I feel like it's a little inappropriate to take my date out for ramen."

"What does it matter? I don't care anyway. Let's go. I know a good ramen shop on the fourth floor."

With that, Kamuro pulled Kamio Tatsuya towards the stairs.

There's absolutely no need to use an elevator on a mere one-story building.

Upon entering the ramen shop, Kamio Tatsuya smelled a strong ramen aroma. He figured he'd be covered in the smell after eating.

"Any recommendations?"

Looking at the menu, Tatsuya Kamio was a little unsure what to choose. He usually only ate tonkotsu ramen, so at least he wouldn't have any bad experiences.

"If you can handle spicy food, I recommend you try this Devil Ramen. I've had it once, and it's delicious."

Kamuro pointed with a mischievous grin at the second-ranked Devil Ramen.

Judging from the picture, it must be quite spicy; the chili oil almost completely covers the bowl.

But I'm sorry, I'm not afraid of spicy food at all.

"Then I'll have one Devil Ramen."

After ordering, Kamuro looked at Tatsuya Kamio with admiration, and then, under Tatsuya Kamio's gaze, ordered a cheese ramen.

"Cheese... I've heard it's high in calories. Aren't you worried about the calories and stuff?"

“I go for a run on the track every morning, so there’s nothing to worry about,” Kamuro said, unconcerned.

"I see, no wonder you have such a great figure."

Kamio Tatsuya suddenly realized that not only did he have a good figure, but his thighs, which had been exercised for a long time, also felt very soft to the touch.

"What are you doing, you idiot!"

Kamio Tatsuya remained silent, simply enjoying the soft touch on his fingertips.

It's a pity that Kamuro is wearing trousers today; it would have been better if she had worn a short skirt.

Chapter 164 Does Mind Reading Really Exist?

As Tatsuya Kamio was enjoying Kamuro's soft thighs while waiting for his ramen to be served, his phone, which was in his pocket, suddenly vibrated.

Who is it?

Why did you have to bother me at this time?

Don't think I'll let you off easily unless it's something important!

Tatsuya Kamio picked up his phone with a displeased expression.

The caller was Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

What is this guy doing?

Why would you suddenly call me?

Although she wanted to refuse, she still frowned and answered the phone, then said in an unfriendly tone, "You'd better really have something to say!"

"I'm unfortunately trapped in the elevator in the shopping mall."

Kamio Tatsuya remained silent for two seconds.

"Are you kidding?"

"I'm not good at that kind of thing."

Which elevator?

"If you go to the west side of the divination room now, you might see a sign indicating a malfunction."
