The roads in Kyoto are straight, and even the corners are 90 degrees, a bit like a chessboard with straight lines.

The divination club that Aoi Ichiki said, near the Kamogawa River.

She followed the map and led the way in front, and the five of them walked along the Kamogawa River unhurriedly.

When you go to the vicinity of Nijo Bridge, turn into it from the middle of the yo, and the divination company called the shrine is at the end of the alley.

The style of the entire alley makes it feel like an ordinary shopping street.

A photo studio full of photos, a stationery shop that specializes in stationery for elementary school students, and a flower shop with flower language written on the billboards......

"I feel like the divination club shouldn't be in this kind of place." Keisuke Saito stared at the door of the small bookstore, where a half-astringent magazine was deliberately placed.

The cover is full of female models in swimsuits with good figures.

"Maybe it's because housing prices in Kyoto aren't cheap." Osamu Kunii's gaze swept over the vending machine in the corner.

Inside are some functional dolls.

"You can't judge people by their appearance, and don't underestimate a store because of its location." As for Toru Watanabe, he prefers a photo studio.

Needless to say, the kimono is a dignified and noble Western classical aristocratic skirt and a riding dress with a tight figure......

When he came back to his senses, Rin Kiyono was looking at him with a heartfelt contempt.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" She said teasingly with a disdainful smile on her face.

"What do I do when I buy flowers, I'm just curious about flower language." Toru Watanabe shook his head and refused, "Kazuki-san, have you arrived?" ”

"Hmm......" Kui Ichiki looked at the golden signboard of the Divination Society, and then looked down at his phone, "This is it!" Let's go inside! ”

The soothsayer is a middle-aged woman in a kimono, about forty years old, with nasolabial folds on her face that make people feel serious.

But when she spoke, her voice was not pretentious, and she seemed very homely and kind.

Perhaps because it was common for high school students to come here for fortune telling, she didn't show any surprise when she saw five people in school uniforms.

In a Japanese-style room with a glass window overlooking Kamogawa, she and Aoi Ichiki sat facing each other, and the other four sat behind Aoi Ichiki.

The two began to divination.

"What do you want to divination? Academic? Or is it camaraderie? Or in love? The soothsayer asked gently.

"Look at ......" Aoi Ichiki remembered that Osamu Kunii and Keisuke Saito were still there, "Is it okay to watch them all?" ”

"Of course, whether it's divination the same or all, the price is the same." The soothsayer shuffled the tarot cards, "Okay, please draw any one." ”

Yimu Aoi drew one and handed it to her: "Whether the result is good or bad, please tell me everything!" ”

"Well, don't worry." The soothsayer looked at the tarot cards for a moment: "How old are you?" ”

"Sixteen."

"Sixteen years old...... Have you recently achieved a satisfactory result in a competition? ”

Yimu Aoi's eyes widened in surprise, and he nodded desperately: "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

"Depending on your age, and this tarot card, next year may not go well."

"Uh-huh! It's so accurate! "Aoi's eyes are shining.

Without Rin Kiyono and Toru Watanabe, the results of the Kamigawa High School Wind Club next year are indeed worrying.

Toru Watanabe leaned slightly and whispered to Rin Kiyono, who was sitting elegantly, "It seems to be really accurate, is she lying?" ”

Feeling the heat spraying into his ears, Rin Kiyono didn't squint, and reprimanded, "Sit down." ”

“...... All right. Toru Watanabe straightened his back.

At some point, the soothsayer's smile softened.

She said to Aoi Ichiki, who was excited, "Although there will be setbacks in the competition, please rest assured that as long as you keep your focus as always, it will continue to be smooth sailing." ”

"Uh-huh! What about friendship? What will happen? ”

The soothsayer looked at the tarot cards for a while, as if he had suddenly discovered something.

"Congratulations! Friendship is very strong! In April next year, you'll meet amazing friends in your new class! ”

"Next April?"

Aoi Ichiki thought about the four classes of the first grade, but I didn't think who would be a 'great friend'.

But she doesn't care about the friendship for the time being.

She nervously asked, "What about love?" ”

"The person you like is a friend of the club, right?" The soothsayer said in a firm tone.

"Huh? Can this also be divined? ”

"We're in Kyoto this time, too?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"He's a guy with a pretty good look and a lot of grades, right?"

"That's right!" Aoi Ichiki grabbed the clothes on the neckline with his right hand and looked directly at the soothsayer, "What will happen?" ”

The soothsayer did not speak, staring at the tarot cards for a long time.

Kunii Shu leaned over and said to Toru Watanabe through gritted teeth in a low voice, "Kazuki-san, I like you!" ”

"Huh?" Toru Watanabe was stunned and turned his head to look at him, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"I think so." Keisuke Saito nodded approvingly.

"How could it be me?!"

"Club friends, come to Kyoto together, excellent appearance, excellent grades" Osamu Kunii stared at Toru Watanabe viciously, "Who are you not?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Watanabe couldn't argue, so he had to look at Aoi Ichiki.

The other party was looking at the soothsayer expectantly, completely oblivious to the situation.

He looked at Rin Kiyono again with a pleading look.

"Hmm-" Rin Kiyono stroked her chin, "I'm kind of craving coffee." ”

"I'll buy it for you later!"

Rin Kiyono put down her hand with satisfaction: "Who does Ichiki-san, I know she told me that it was not Watanabe." ”

"That's good." Kunii let out a sigh of relief.

Although it is her freedom to see who Aoi Ichiki likes, he still hopes that the person she likes is not Toru Watanabe - both from the perspective of friends and from the point of view of competitiveness.

"Huh? Strange then? Keisuke Saito asked, "Is there a boy in the wind club who is more handsome, has a better academic performance, and is more popular with girls than Watanabe?" ”

"Nope." Rin Kiyono said indifferently, "But if you like someone, it's not just handsome and good academic performance." ”

"Yes, you have to be as honest as I am." Toru Watanabe said seriously.

"Sit down." Rin Kiyono's tone was suddenly stern.

Not only Toru Watanabe, but even Osamu Kunii and Keisuke Saito didn't dare to speak anymore.

The three boys straightened their backs and rested their hands on their knees.

It wasn't until Aoi was so nervous that she moved her ass for the second time that the soothsayer took his eyes off the Tairop.

"Divination sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't, so even if the divination results are not good, please don't take it too seriously." She said it in a tone of regret.

"What do you mean?" Kui Ichiki sat on his knees, his buttocks left his calves and abdomen, and his body straightened slightly.

"I suggest that you choose someone else." As he spoke, the soothsayer gently lowered the tarot card in his hand.

"How can this be......" Aoi Ichiki's sitting posture suddenly relaxed.

"That, Kazuki-san," Kunii Shu quickly cleared his throat before continuing, "The soothsayer also said that divination sometimes doesn't work, so don't take it to heart." ”

Aoi Ichiki turned around and smiled at him reluctantly: "Thank you, Kunii-san, but I can probably guess the result myself." ”

After saying that, she turned to the soothsayer and bowed, "Thank you very much." ”

"It would be great if it helped you." The soothsayer also bowed deeply to her.

Raising her back, she said to the four people behind her, "Does anyone still want to divination?" ”

Rin Kiyono looked disinterested.

The three boys looked at each other.

"I have no money." Keisuke Saito said dryly.

"I've accepted fate." Osamu Kunii said.

Aoi Ichiki, who was sitting back next to Rin Kiyono, heard this, his lost expression was a little embarrassed, and he glanced at him apologetically.

Before Toru Watanabe could say anything, Keisuke Saito grabbed his arm: "Watanabe, you go and try it?" Let's see if you can live a life with an annual income of 100 million yen in the future. ”

"That's right! Just go! Osamu Kunii clapped his hands in agreement.

"Guest, please sit here." The soothsayer made a 'please' gesture to the cushion on which Ichiki Aoi was sitting just now.

"Okay." Toru Watanabe had no choice but to stand up, "You two, listen carefully to my brilliant future, and you'd better take a note." ”

The cushion is still hot, and the girl's body temperature remains.

This guy should be asked to do it.

"What do you want to test?" The soothsayer asked as he shuffled the tarot cards.

"Career, friendship, love."

"Please draw one." The soothsayer pointed the tarot card at Toru Watanabe, "How old are you?" ”

"Sixteen." Toru Watanabe handed her the cards he had drawn.

"Career...... "I don't see what you will achieve in the future, but everything will be smooth sailing, so I recommend that you set your goals high, because everything will be successful." ”

"What about 20 billion yen a year?" Toru Watanabe asked.

"It's going to be smooth sailing, too." As if the figure of 20 billion was too exaggerated, the soothsayer added, "That's what the tarot cards say." ”

Toru Watanabe turned around and said to the four, "It seems that it is only a matter of time before I am written into the textbook. ”

"Since it's smooth sailing, and I've set a goal of earning 20 billion yen a year, Watanabe-san has only this point to come." Rin Kiyono said expressionlessly.

“...... That's changed to an adult income of $20 billion. Toru Watanabe turned around and asked the soothsayer, "Is that all right?" ”

The soothsayer replied with an embarrassed but enthusiastic smile: "If you are determined to do so, I am sure you will succeed." ”

"What about friendship? By the way, let's just count my friendship with this beautiful girl. Toru Watanabe pointed at Rin Kiyono and said.

"No problem."

The soothsayer stares at the tarot cards one moment and at the two of them.

After a long time.

"According to the show, the friendship between the two will not be very harmonious."

“...... yes. ”

The soothsayer looked up and looked at Toru Watanabe in embarrassment.

The others also watched his expression with some trepidation.

Although Toru Watanabe rarely smiled, it was the first time they had seen each other with such a completely expressionless face.

I always feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

Only Rin Kiyono was calm, and even mocked Toru Watanabe and hooked the corners of his mouth.

"It's not harmonious, but there's one thing," the soothsayer made an emphatic gesture, "and the fit between the two is definitely not to be underestimated. ”

"Anyway, you still can't be friends?" Toru Watanabe's cold voice revealed that he had no interest in divination.

The soothsayer struggled for a while, and finally replied with a certain "yes".

"What about love?" Toru Watanabe tidied up the sleeves of his school uniform, looking like he was almost leaving.

The soothsayer has been through the storm for a long time, and he has been scolded on the spot for cheating money, and he quickly ignores Toru Watanabe's attitude.

"In terms of love...... she carefully studied the tarot cards as if something was really written on them, "you are very strict with yourself and your other half, so you have very little experience in love." ”

"Hmm." Toru Watanabe nodded indifferently.

"But the truth is that you're unmatched, you're always surrounded by temptations, and if you're not careful, you'll overindulge."

"Overindulgence? Hahaha! Osamu Kunii and Keisuke Saito burst into laughter.

Aoi Ichiki also laughed embarrassedly in a low voice.

Rin Kiyono sighed amusedly, and turned her bored gaze out the window.

The sun is about to set, and it won't be long before it turns into a short-lived and beautiful akasi.

"Hmm." Toru Watanabe nodded perfunctorily, "I'll pay attention, is there anything else?" ”

"Although the cards show that there are countless thorns in front of you, as long as you hold on to the past, it will be a smooth road!"

"Understood."

The soothsayer finally said: "You are better suited to focus on your career, and if you follow the attitude of rejection emotionally, your life will go very well." ”

After Toru Watanabe was over, the soothsayer asked again if there was anyone else who needed to be divined.

Aoi Ichiki said to Rin Kiyono, "Kiyono-san, how about you try it too?" Seems to be quite accurate! ”

"Accurately?" Toru Watanabe interjected and asked.

Aoi Ichagi avoided his gaze as if he was afraid, and said to Rin Kiyono, "Try it, it's all here anyway." ”

Rin Kiyono glanced at Toru Watanabe, who was expressionless, and thought for a while, "It's okay." ”

She stepped forward and sat down on the cushion, feeling the residual heat from above, and adjusted her position a little unaccustomedly.

"What is the divination?" The soothsayer asked.

"Career and friendship, I have taken control of my destiny...... Let's fall in love. ”

"Really?!" Aoi Ichiki covered her mouth, "I didn't expect Kiyono-san to be interested in love!" ”

"In addition to career and friendship, only love can be chosen, right?" Rin Kiyono explained helplessly.

The tarot cards were drawn, the age was asked, and the soothsayer began to answer.

"I will be attracted to men who are full of unknowns......

"Isn't that accurate?"

Everyone looked at Toru Watanabe, who suddenly became happy again, suspiciously.

Rin Kiyono glanced at him with a chilling gaze and motioned for the soothsayer to continue.

"I care more about the tacit understanding of the soul than getting married."

"Hmm." Rin Kiyono has an ambiguous attitude and is noncommittal.

"There is another thing to pay special attention to...... the soothsayer looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, "although he is very smart, sometimes he will choose to believe what the other party says even though he knows that the other party is lying." ”

"Impossible." Rin Kiyono denied without thinking.

After experiencing Toru Watanabe's incident, the soothsayer has become accustomed to it, and still says with a smile, "Whether divination is spiritual or not, please use it as a reference and try to do what you want to do." ”

Probably because Keisuke Saito said that he didn't have any money, she no longer asked if she still needed divination.

The money was paid, and the five walked out.

The surroundings were completely filled with the smell of dusk.

Walking on Nijo Bridge, you can see the faint sunset on the surface of the mountain peaks in the distance, and even the Kamogawa River is gilded with a layer of gold.

"Kazuki-san, what are you going to do next?" Rin Kiyono crossed her arms and asked Aoi Ichiki, who was holding her hands on the bridge.

Yimu Aoi overlooked the flowing river: "I want to ask Mai Senpai to come out." ”

The surface of the water flowed slowly, and the stones poked their faces out of the water, as if to stop the flow, but it was only a useless resistance, and the swarthy water streaks avoided the small stones, and flowed in the same direction together.

"Then we'll go first." Toru Watanabe, who had been running around for a day, said with a yawn.

Don't let others disturb Ikki Aoi's confession, let's just count it as his job.

In addition, although he agreed not to tell anyone, Mai Tomorrow is his girlfriend after all, and it will only be embarrassing to see his girlfriend being confessed by a girl, and it will only be embarrassing to continue to stay.

"Wait a minute." Aoi Ikki turned to look at them, "Watanabe-kun, and ..... Kunii-san, I hope you will stay. ”

"Is it okay?" Toru Watanabe looked at her.

"Hmm." Aoi Ichiki nodded cautiously.

She would do this, probably because Osamu Kunii liked her, but whatever the reason, Toru Watanabe was not interested.

"Shall we stay, then?" He consulted Osamu Kunii.

Although Kunii Shu was confused, he still said, "I'm fine." ”

"Wait a minute, what about me?" Keisuke Saito pointed to himself.

Forget about him.

Aoi Ichiki smiled embarrassedly, "Saito-san, if you want, you can stay too." ”

Then, Aoi Ichiki calls Mai Asuka and asks her to come here on the grounds of dinner.

On the other side of the phone, Mai Tomorrow still agreed in her flat voice.

Before she came, Toru Watanabe, Osamu Kunii, and Keisuke Saito were playing on the Kamogawa River.

The two asked what was going on, but Toru Watanabe refused to answer on the grounds that he would know later.

Yimu Aoi's secret, let her tell it herself.
