Tokyo Trickster

"Uh..." Her eyes wandered, "I'm Japanese."

"Oh, I see." Amamiya Ren looked a little disappointed.

"My name is Chihaya Mifune. Would you like to have a divination? I saw your destiny..."

Amamiya Ren once again interrupted her mysterious opening remarks.

He sat down behind the booth and put his hands on the table, "Let's get started."

This was the first time Chihaya Mifune had seen such an impatient customer.

At first, I paid attention to Amamiya Ren simply because this guy exuded an "overflowing" charm whenever he walked among the crowd.

If you look closely, you can find that there is an extremely huge thing wrapped around the other person's body.

The world-weary smile is like a big skirt, just like an umbrella and ride on it.

In Chihaya Mifune's eyes, they are "fate".

In other words, Amamiya Ren is a person who is pursued by a huge destiny.

The world-weary heart writes the postscript of the eagle's successor

She had never seen such a special person.

Her strong curiosity made her try to persuade Amamiya Ren to stay.

I really want to see what this guy's fate is...

Before shuffling the cards, Chihaya Mifune quietly opened the three tarot cards that she had kept covered since morning.

Her expression suddenly changed.

The reversed [World].

Symbol: an irreversible situation, a finish line that is just a hair's breadth away, an impossible perfect ending.

But an even more terrifying omen was about to arrive.

What opened next was actually the [World] of sequence.

Her finger pressed on the third tarot card, but she didn't have the courage to open it.

Oops, I shouldn't be curious about this guy's fate...

17-year-old Ace: 234. You will become a master of shogi

A talent that Chihaya Mifune was born with.

She can "sense" things that others cannot understand.

They should be called "fortune" or "destiny".

In short, it is a metaphysical concept.

Destiny is a torrent that rushes upstream from the end of the abyss of cognition, sweeping across the world in a mighty manner, crushing human arrogance, meanness, despair, joy... It looks down on people with absolute equality, regardless of good or evil.

Chihaya Mifune was very lucky. She was born on a canoe and could watch the crowd sink and float in the torrent.

All she could do was watch, and perhaps occasionally reach out to help those who were about to drown, allowing them to lean against the side of the boat to catch their breath.

But she herself...

The direction and speed are all handed over to fate. Just go with the flow.

But today.

An ordinary evening.

Chihaya Mifune saw an existence beyond her understanding.

If Chihaya Mifune was a lucky girl who was born on a canoe.

Then Amamiya Ren is probably the protagonist of an epic like "Noah's Ark".

He stood on a huge ship crossing the ocean, looking down on people with the attitude of a savior.

She didn't dare to turn over the third Tarot card, but just put them into the deck and shuffled them again.

A strong sense of humiliation surged in her heart, and Mifune Chihaya spoke in a soft voice, "May I ask your name?"

The thief tapped his sunglasses and then pointed at his mask. "Do you think I look like someone whose name can be made public?"

"I'm sorry!" Chihaya Mifune's voice suddenly rose in volume.

"It's okay, let's get started." Amamiya Ren looked at the stack of tarot cards on her desk with interest.

The last person who read his fortune was Sakura Kinomoto. The tarot card that came out was [Cyber ​​Monster? Time Thief? Amamiya Ren].

So he really experienced his own gift from the other world, as well as the Good Friday of Judas, and then took a thrilling time journey.

I just like this kind of weird stuff.

Amamiya Ren stared closely at Mifune Chihaya, watching her pair of white and delicate hands fall on the deck of cards and then start cutting the cards...

Chihaya Mifune's expression became increasingly anxious. She discovered that the "fate" of the boy in front of her was constantly changing.

Finally, she mustered up the courage and chose the card layout that matched Amamiya Ren's expectations.

Then the cards are drawn...

Because the "fate" entangled with Amamiya Ren has been changing all the time, it has to be measured many times.

[Star], [Scepter], [Fool].

Chihaya Mifune was interpreting the results. This was the first time she had seen such a variety of results:

[Star] Seven: Lies, rumors, and malicious criticism.

[Star] Second: consideration and balance between two things.

【Star】Third: Teamwork and partnership.

[Wands] One: Wealth and career success, lifelong friends and a peaceful state of mind.

The last part is “face the new journey with strength and vitality”.

Combined with the original [World]...

Chihaya Mifune's eyes widened, and she looked at Amamiya Ren, "It's shogi!"

The Phantom Thief pinched his chin and thought carefully, "You mean, I'm going to debut as a star shogi player?"

"To become a shogi master! He will definitely not be inferior to Hanyu Yoshiharu..." Mifune Chihaya's mouth was covered by Amamiya Ren.

(Note: Yoshiharu Hanyu is the undisputed number one in the Japanese shogi world. He is the best Japanese shogi player of our time. His specific life achievements are not given as examples.)

"Be careful of the occasion," the thief didn't know where this guy got the confidence to say such a thing.

I'm afraid I'll be surrounded and scolded by the whole street soon.

Chihaya Mifune came to her senses and nodded understandingly.

I was really immersed in the vast future that I had just glimpsed.

Although it doesn't belong to Chihaya Mifune, but... since when do you need to personally experience reading a passionate and orthodox light novel? It's good enough to have a sense of substitution.

She felt that the young man in front of her must be a very remarkable person.

"Um... If you don't want to tell me your name, could you please give me your contact information?"

Chihaya Mifune blushed and begged, "The fate that is entangled with you is very strange. I hope I can tell fortunes for you again in the future."

"You're talking like a stalker trying to pry into my life."

"No, no, no, no, no!" Mifune Chihaya said anxiously, "I just..."

Amamiya Ren had already taken out her phone, "Come and scan the QR code."

"Oh," Chihaya Mifune fell silent, and she looked at the real name on the account with complicated eyes.

"Kurisu Akatsuki-sensei. Should I call you that now?"

There is almost no young girl who dislikes Kurusu Akatsuki.

Of course, when it comes to fan density, Amamiya Ren thinks that most of the fans are male.

"Hush." ​​The thief looked at the excitement, joy, envy and other mixed emotions in the other's eyes, "Since you told me the divination, I will give you a small gift in return."

Amamiya Lian spread her hands and placed them on the table. "I don't know yet whether your divination result is correct."

He caught a Fool and placed it in his palm, covering it with both hands and squeezing it.

As Chihaya Mifune waited, Amamiya Ren raised her hand.

A bouquet of bright roses lay quietly on the table. "A gift for you."

"Oh, you got the wrong one. You must be my fan. I was supposed to give you Daphne osmanthus - a symbol of good fortune and luck." The thief pinched the bouquet of roses, shook it, and then placed a bouquet of Daphne osmanthus on the table.

He stretched out a finger and ran it across the tarot cards spread out on the table, and the cards disappeared one by one wherever he passed.

Finally, it landed on the pile of cards with a crackling sound.

And a bunch of crystal clear fruit candies were left in the original place.

"See you next time," Amamiya Ren waved, turned and walked into the sunset.

Chihaya Mifune looked at the fruit candies and bouquets on the table in a daze.

There were a few rock salts in the drawer of the stall, but they seemed to have no chance of being used. Some scattered large-denomination banknotes lay in the corner, waiting for a pair of hands that had nowhere else to put them.

Fortune tellers who run private businesses are always involved in fraud.

In this regard, Amamiya Ren is professional and authoritative.

He saw it clearly, but had no intention of correcting it.

The Phantom Thieves' website will be pushed to Chihaya Mifune's mobile phone continuously for a long time to come.

If she wanted to be saved, she had to struggle on her own.

If there is no cure, the Phantom Thieves will help her repent.

(PS: I bought a P5T cassette, which will arrive on the 24th. I will take two days off to study the plot and settings of this thing.)

17-year-old Ace: I can’t publish a single chapter

Not even a single chapter could be published.

I now have more than 10,000 words in manuscript, and they are accumulating more and more, but I just can’t publish them.

This chapter is modified from the previous chapter. Those who understand the specific reasons will understand.

I'll go ask the platform on Monday.

17-year-old ace: 235. Dongxiang Yi

(It has passed the review. However, the plots involving gangs, the sequel of Jincheng selling drugs, and even Wu Jian Miao cannot be written for the time being, so I will just skip it and find an opportunity to write about it later. The "Dongxiang 123" chapter that has already been written also needs to be deleted and revised on a large scale.)

Chihaya Mifune carefully put away the candies and hid the bunch of osmanthus.

She watched Amamiya Ren disappear in the crowd, but she couldn't hide the shy smile on her face.

The sound of leather shoes hitting the ground should have blended into the noise of the street, but it sounded like a barrier in her ears.

A girl with long black hair tied into a rustic pigtail, wearing thick round-framed glasses and a strong scholarly air stood in front of Chihaya Mifune.

Chihaya Mifune looked a little flustered. She found that the entire entertainment street was like a bubble that had been popped. With a slight sound of dripping, in the blink of an eye, only the high school girl standing in front of her was left.

"Hekawa Tsubasa." She introduced herself.

A business card was pushed in front of Chihaya Mifune, "You have been selected by the organization."

Chihaya Mifune was stunned. "This is..."

[Surreal Special Operations Team] This is what is written on the business card.

"We are very optimistic about your abilities, fortune teller Chihaya Mifune." Hanekawa Tsubasa placed the business card in her palm. "You should also have expectations for your talent, right?"

Chihaya Mifune quickly shook her head. She had predicted that she would meet someone who would change her fate today... But if I had to get involved in this kind of supernatural dispute... Spare me, I'm just an ordinary person, I really don't dare to get involved in this.

"You have no right to refuse," said Hanekawa Tsubasa.

"You should be able to see that the huge future is coming back, rushing along its inherent trajectory, and you can no longer avoid it."
