47. Tarot (5)

Time, in the eyes of Gonnie, is just "good", the moon darkens not only the sky that was dyed red by the setting sun before, but also the tranquility and comfort of everything around it; the place, even Alice feels that it is "calming", no one will disturb the confined space, and at the same time, it also excludes the possibility of being spied on by "high technology", although the sound of water still comes from time to time in the bathroom, but this has little impact on Alice and Cornie.

Of course, the most important thing is her inner peace, as a witch, Goni naturally needless to say, even if she almost enjoyed a "****" farce just now, she still sat there quietly. As a result, the key to everything is still on Alice.

"Ready? I'm going to start. ”

Goni's gaze locked on Alice's eyes, as if to confirm the heart of the "apprentice" in front of her, "Once you start, you don't have to pause. ”

"Ah, alright. ”

When the sound of water from the bathroom paused again, Alice, who had taken a deep breath, finally mustered up the courage to answer. Perhaps the divination itself is not credible, but ...... Even if it is to comply with the overly insistent demands of the witch in front of you, at least you must be calm and complete her with a fair attitude.

This must not be a delusion, because although she was divining herself, Goni seemed to be more serious and nervous than herself, as if she was ...... The real point of this divination is not Alice, but herself.

"Well, please calm down. ”

While speaking, Goni slowly but calmly began to prepare for "divination", no. than to prepare. It's more like a solemn ceremony. There can be no distraction. There can't be a little noise. The black velvet cloth is spread on the tabletop, which is not too dirty, adding a gorgeous touch to the simple glass table, but also absorbing all the light and shadow reflected on it. Immediately afterward, Gonnie began a long and cautious opening of the cards, each of which was so delicate that it didn't even look like it had been "produced" with a strange pattern vibrating between her fingers, as if it had taken a life of its own, neatly arranged in two rows, dangling before Alice's eyes like countless choices for the future.

It's not too complicated. But even so, Goni didn't seem to have the "leisure" just now, her body unconsciously tensed, and every time she touched the "card", she seemed to be deliberately controlling her strength.

"Well, Alice, it's your turn. ”

After carving each card "deeply" and "again" into her heart, Goni finally sighed and withdrew her hand, which had begun to tremble. Her "mission" has completed the first step, and the next step is Alice's "beginner" round.

"Shuffle the cards, of course...... Don't turn it over. ”

"Ahh ”

This is no longer a simple "divination". Even Alice, who didn't care about it at first, just wanted to "complete the task" seriously. was also infected by the aura of Goni just now, and couldn't help but look at the generous cards.

Naturally, they don't let Alice see any clues from the back up, and the patterns printed on their front must be half-understood by Alice. Truth and interpretation are in the hands of Goni.

Yes...... I see, is Goni, who has established a magic association "outside" and resisted all the magicians with the power of a witch of her own?

"Well, then I'll get started. ”

The nervousness and trembling at the beginning were unavoidable, but the moment the palm of her hand touched the card, the unique cold feeling coming from it made Alice calm down a little. Slowly rubbing the messed cards on the table with both hands, watching them overlap alternately, although they didn't feel anything "wonderful", but ...... Goni's expression clearly didn't agree with her thoughts.

She stared at the scrambled cards on the table, what exactly did she want to see? I don't know, I don't understand, it's too difficult for the "apprentice" to come into contact with for the first time. The mission left to me now is not to think too much about it, and to follow Goni's instructions step by step.

Next, fold the cards. Goni, who was calmly watching Alice, continued the divination process after waiting for a moment, "Then cut the card twice, be cautious and don't make a mistake." ”

"Yes. ”

Cut the cards, carefully put them away, these are not a problem, just follow Godie's words, with a calm mood to complete. Truly mysterious...... Or the incomprehensible, even unbelievable "subtlety", can only be carried out after the card is cut. So......

"Alright, next...... Name the one thing you'd most like to know right now. After a pause, Gonnie took a deep breath like Alice.

"Hmm. ”

Obviously, as a "witch", she doesn't need to be too nervous when divining people, what kind of thing is it that makes Goni seem as "tense" as herself? I don't understand, I don't know, the only thing I can know is that this "witch" has been staring into her eyes, as if the next question she thinks of will determine her "evaluation and status" in her mind. Or maybe something deeper, but ...... Whether it's Rosie or Miradoro, or the new witch next door, I'm afraid it's a common problem for witches with different personalities and eccentrics, and no one can easily see the "future" they are thinking about from their eyes.

"Whatever it is, life, companions, family, strength, future...... Any doubt you can think of can be raised. ”

After a pause, Gonnie continued, "I'll also put up the corresponding cards according to your question, so don't worry. Relax...... Then think about it. You only have one chance, please ...... Be sure to grasp it. ”

"Hmm...... Hmmm!"

Life...... Human life is only a few decades, and maybe if you make a wish to Miradorolu, you can get a longer life, but I have never thought about such a thing in a strange way. If, at all, you can't end your life well, then knowing here about the interruption of that journey will only add to your troubles. Such a question has no value in asking at all, and even I am afraid that I will regret it if I say it.

Power, like life, has no meaning in divination. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to be one of the witches in a long, long time, or maybe I'll continue to do nothing like this, but judging the future now, I'll lose the direction of my efforts.

So what about family and companions? My parents and sisters don't have anything to do for them, and they must be living a life that is in line with their "identity" now. That's the companion.

Irina, all I can think of now is everything about her. Strange attitudes and behaviors, asserting that Letty is "dead", as long as you can understand everything about her, your own knowledge of all her companions can also get answers. The care of the hatter is certainly needed, but ...... That's something that should have been put on the back burner. Can such a divination ......

Is it really possible to let yourself know about Irina's situation, or is it really something that a companion should do, not to confirm it personally, but to find out through Goni's divination?

"Have you figured it out? Alice. ”

Suddenly, there was a urging voice from Goni. Maybe it's because of the focus, Goni's current state doesn't look so good, it seems to be ...... It's all a little sweaty.

"Decide, or I won't be able to concentrate any more time. ”

"Ah, well, what ......"

Say it quickly, even if it's a trivial thing, it can be regarded as completing this divination for Goni. But what is this kind of self now, hesitating, hesitating, isn't it back to the time when he was by Teacher Rosie's side without pursuit?

Then ask about the future, your own, your companions, the witches, the fairy tales...... With such a "broad" goal, the results of divination must be correspondingly blurred. That would be nice, at least there would be no shaky "facts".

"The question I want to ask is ......" (To be continued.) )
