"Then it's your treatment, but let's do this"
Marie gets up on the bed with her hands slapped as she says so.
Pei, I heard a very light noise.
"I hope you don't mind if it hurts or hurts, I just suffocated to death"
"That depends on your fate."
"Depends on destiny...... oh, I see. The Goddess of Destiny is about to do it."
22 cards rounded and floating about the size of a palm.
I can only see the back from here, but I knew immediately what it was.
"Yes, as you can imagine, it's a tarot card. We've got 22 cards for the big Arcana."
That's familiar to me, too.
Tarots with somehow seemingly correct origins and mysterious images can be good props that tip ordinary people into fortune telling.
It's a convenient item that I've been using for years.
"Each of the 22 positive and reverse positions is assigned treatment. So you decide what happens next."
Ironically, I've been in control of other people's lives in Tarot, and now I'm in control of myself.
I know this is true when it comes to punishment too, but my cheeks stick to too many bad tastes.
Marie, you look so cute.
"By the way, I wonder if you'll tell me what kind of treatment there is"
"Of course I can't tell you. Because the future is something no one will ever know."
Nobody knows the future, it's perfectly natural.
I just don't think I thought so at one point.
Humans are thought creatures.
So if I could read the thought, I could have predicted what I would do next, and I could have made myself behave conveniently by directing the thought.
It's the same with cards.
I was able to pull the card I was after by blindfolding the card I used, and I was able to make people choose the card that looked like it according to their situation.
That's my fortune, who Squid Sama is.
No, I don't call that fortune telling.
It's just a trick, just a scam.
So I guess this is a real fortune teller.
Probably the first time I've ever done a real Tarot fortune.
"Come on, are you ready for your heart? Let's get started, your true fortune."
Strong grip on faintly trembling fingertips.
Marie was smiling contentedly watching how it went.
If this is the reward for blaspheming the Goddess of Destiny, take it spoiledly.
That's all I've spent on other people's lives for money.
Ugh, and one breath.
If you don't know what's going to happen next, you don't even know which cards to pull in the first place.
I just have to choose.
One card that determines my future.
"Hehe, is that okay?
I'll take the one I pointed at, Marie.
Then he fell and scattered it on the floor like the rest of the cards accidentally lost power.
There are several sheets on the table.
As far as I can see from here, 'Mage', 'Star', 'Tower', 'Devil', then 'World'.
"Tower" has no good meaning in positive or reverse position.
Should I be glad I didn't have to choose?
"So, what did I choose?
"I can't help it if it's a lot, okay?"
I slowly laid my eyes down when I saw the pattern pointed at me.
"This is your destiny, 'Reaper'"
The pattern is positively positioned 'reaper', the meaning is the end, the ruin.
It's a card I've never pulled in my entire life.
Hard to use because it has too strong a meaning, regardless of the positive or reverse position.
This card was unnecessary in my way that I would not let too much despair, that I would not let too much hope, and that I would continue to postpone in my judgment without either.
"Somehow I understand, this is a roundabout"
"... I wonder what that means"
"No, think that's definitely my destiny. Um, every ten years, I came to see you."
Marie laughed when she heard that.
It's not some uneven grin like before, it's a natural smile as it looks.
"You look cuter that way."
"Thank you, it's probably been a long time since I've laughed properly like this"
I laughed so Marie could follow me, and the wind started blowing from somewhere even though the window wasn't open.
Pretty strong, wind like I've never even felt during a typhoon.
"Marie... what is this!
Marie standing in front of me is as flat as she is.
No, my hair hasn't messed up at all, even though it's this way. Am I the only one who feels this?
"Oh, yeah, yeah."
Marie slowly walks over to me and takes her right hand and makes her hold the 'Reaper' card.
"I didn't introduce myself properly, so I changed it"
In the wind I couldn't keep my eyes open, I saw something strange.
The card hasn't spinned at once since Marie took it.
Yes, if you pass the card in the positive position as it is, the recipient will hold the card in the reverse position.
I mean, this card on my right...
"I am the God who tells the fate, what you call death"
"Hey, what's this!
"I did tell you, your destiny"
The last word of it, you won't hear anything with the roar.
I don't remember when I lost my mind from it.
This was my first encounter with Marie Reaper.
