“Why are you…?”

The old woman fortune teller looked at the jade beads imbued with my magic, and suddenly she broke into a cold sweat with a shocked expression on her face.

Even if something went wrong with my fate, I could hardly open my mouth or shut it with a look of unbelievable whether something was wrong or not, and I was smirking awkwardly.

“It’s not very good… no… it’s serious…”

As if it were his job, he stroked the bridge of his nose and started shaking his head.

“So what the hell did you see?”

I wonder if it’s because I’m just over-indulging, but to be so, the expression on my face feels so real that I can easily shake off my doubts.

“Your fate is one of the most unique and heterogeneous things I have ever seen, and perhaps the first person to hold such a fate has lived to the end of the century…”

He seemed to have a vague idea of what the fortune-teller was feeling.

gentile.

I came from a completely different world, different from this world in terms of time, technology, culture, and race.

The reason the old woman was shocked to see it must be that she felt that I had a different fate from the people of this world in that I was a person from another world.

“Is that so? But if that’s the only problem, I don’t think it’s particularly serious.”

They simply have a unique fate.

I breathed a sigh of relief in the corner of my heart, wiping away the burden, but as soon as that happened, the old woman started saying things that made her chatter cool again.

“Didn’t I tell you before? I’m a person who has lived for nearly a century, and I’ve been through almost everything in my life.

Isn’t that just the problem?

“Then what makes you look so surprised?”

“I told you earlier that you have a very heterogeneous fate? The problem starts with that fact.”

Then, while waving his hands in the air around the jade marble, he moves the cloud-like phenomenon inside the marble.

“Your fate is so peculiar, so eccentric that you seduce others.”

“yes…?”

It’s hard to explain in words, but I felt that something was wrong with every action I’ve taken over the course of my life.

“People are interested and drawn to strangers who feel different from themselves, and so is fate. It’s about being enchanted and attracted.”

It’s a logic I’ve never heard of anywhere… I’ve heard a lot somewhere that people are attracted to and interested in other people with different characteristics and personalities.

It wasn’t just humans.

Just as magnets stick to magnets with different polarities, people are also interested in people who are different from them.

And is it fate…

“Your fate has a very unique personality, so you have a very different character from people in this world, and you are leading the fate of others stronger.”

“Its power is so strong that it seduces even fates that are difficult to bear in the human realm.”

At the same time, the old woman swallowed dry saliva, and the astonishment soon turned into eyes of regret and sympathy.

“The fate of mortals with a great destiny to leave their mark in history, the dragons who reign supreme in the world, and even the fates of the gods, are guided by your foreign destiny to play a revolution or destruction.”

Due to the words of the old woman who is gradually losing her strength and advice that fits with my situation in the current progressive form, the feeling of insecurity and tension reaches its peak.

“If you feel bad, I’ll do my best to apologize, but… it’s going to be a difficult life…”

He puts his hand on my shoulder and pats me, comforting me with his faint eyes.

“Hold on, we must somehow overcome the crisis that lies ahead.”

“If you succeed, fate promises you the best future that can happen, but if you fail, the cruelest end that can happen in the world awaits you, so you must do your best in every moment.”

At the end of those words, the faded phenomena in the jade beads disappeared as if they had never existed, and the old woman tries to keep her kindness as much as possible by taking her hands off the beads.

“I think that’s all I can say, it’s hard to foresee any longer with this old man’s capabilities.”

Then he handed me a scroll that looked a bit old and clenched my jaw with both hands.

“However, if it is the goddess I serve, it may be different. If you are interested, it would not be a bad idea to visit.”

Goddess of Destiny Morione…. According to the setting, she is an unknown god who can oversee, glimpse, and even interfere in the fate of others.

“What is this scroll?”

“Morione-sama has a philosophy of her own, so she is not someone who carelessly looks at or modifies other people’s fates.

I hold the scroll in my hand.

“This is a letter of recommendation from an honorary follower, and since I have been serving you for a long time, I am an old man who has a seat in the shrine.”

“Give this to Morione-sama and he will look after you. I hope you get good results.”

I felt like I was apologizing for being treated so generously by someone I met by chance.

“Thank you. Then the fortune-telling value is…”

With those words, the old woman pulled out the money bag and stopped my hand.

“I won’t take money, I can’t accept money from someone with such a pitiful fate as you.”

“……”

I feel even more grateful for saying that, but at the same time, I became anxious because I couldn’t even imagine how twisted things would be in the future.

“Anyway, thank you. Then we’ll head straight to Morione-sama’s temple.”

Remove the tent and proceed towards the woods where the footsteps will reach.

“No, that’s fine, I’m just thankful that you showed this old man something interesting.”

“Maybe it’s fate that I meet you and go to the Goddess.”

There was no particular reason, but the last words of the old woman were strangely concerned, so it was not easy to shake off the afterglow.

◆◆◆

“Were you here?”

It was quite a distance from the place where the fortune teller had been before, so it seemed like he had walked quite a bit.

The temple of Morione, the goddess of fate, has an ordinary appearance that can only be imagined by ordinary people.

Like Abne and Eleona, she had a figure no different from the in-game one.

“……”

Thanks to the story I heard earlier, I am starting with a somewhat complicated mind.

“found.”

“I won’t miss it any more.”

The chill and ominous energy I felt from behind made my spine shiver.

“Ah… kids?”

As I slowly turned around with unnatural movements, there were two women who were glaring at me with hazy eyes.

“You seem to be changing places and trying to get away with us?”

“If you don’t tell me now, I don’t know what to do.”

They both said that there would be no more concessions, and were now prophesying that if they didn’t answer the previous question, terrible things would happen.

“Um… that’s…”

However, no matter how much he urged him to answer, he could not give an answer even if he sent such a threat because the outcome of the worst easy choice to choose one of Mir or Erina from the beginning was not decided.

So what I can do is to be as flexible as possible to get around this situation.

Whoops…

huh?

When you turn your gaze to the sensation of clenching your fist, you catch a piece of paper that you forgot.

ah!

At the same time, I open my mouth and admire myself at the wonderful idea that came to me at the moment of despair.

“Why don’t you listen to the goddess in that temple rather than my answer?”

They both tilt their heads as I smile confidently as I point my thumbs at the temple on my back.

“What is that building?”

“It looks like a temple of a certain goddess…”

The human world is so unfamiliar to me that Mir responds with a skeptical reaction full of doubts, but Erina narrows her eyes with a hint of interest.

“This is the temple of Morione-sama, the goddess of fate, who can observe the fate of others and have a glimpse of what lies ahead.”

At those words, both of them had half-expected and half-worried faces as if they had realized to what extent they had understood my intentions.

“I don’t really like being dependent on God.”

Mir, who has an aversion to God, makes an impression and bites her tongue, but Erina brings out her confidence.

“Are you asking the Goddess in that temple to see who you will connect with in the future? All right, I understand, because the outcome is decided anyway.”

When Erina showed an eloquent attitude as if it was an obvious result as if asking a question, Mir sighed deeply and joined my opinion as if she could not lose.

“Chit… Okay, let’s take a look, who Harold will share the future with.”

It was only temporary, but fortunately, when he felt that the strategy had succeeded, he sighed in relief and wiped away the tension.

With the girls following me, I climbed the stairs of the temple and reached the entrance, but Morione’s followers, who created a secret atmosphere, blocked our way.

However, after looking at our faces for a while, as if they had already passed the examination, they opened the door of the temple and made way for us.

Even though we didn’t say a word, we acted as if we knew who we were, so doubts and admiration were confused.

According to the setting in the game, Morione is the most mysterious and unknown of the gods, and her servants were also the most secretive organization in the land.

“……”

There is something unsatisfying about him, but he ignores it and goes straight to the audience room of the Goddess of Destiny.

Unlike Abne, the temple itself was huge, but not wide, so it was easy to get there by walking a little.

I just passed through the walls of Saeanan and arrived in front of a door that looked unusually sophisticated and vast.

shudder!

How did they know we had arrived without even touching it, the door to the audience began to open with a majestic sound.

The scene unfolding inside was a simple, yet distinctive structure that had enough distinctive charm.

The sound of birds chirping and the weeping of small waters on the edge of the room gave the viewer a sense of warmth as if standing in the great outdoors.

And in the middle of the room, a white altar soaring high like a mountain, a woman in a white dress quietly exclaimed.

“Everyone has a destiny, and even the gods have their own way. If it is a blessing, accept it willingly, and if it is a curse, bravely overcome it.”

Goddess Morione’s motto, like her introduction, echoes through the wall in the huge audience, even if it’s small.

Then, he carefully opens his closed eyes and sends his gaze towards us.

“?!”

As soon as he receives Morione’s gaze, he becomes wary of an unusual atmosphere that suddenly flies inward.

And as if it was not just me, Mir and Erina also narrowed their eyebrows with somewhat complicated expressions.

However, when Morione recognizes me clearly for a while, even for generating unusual energy, she suddenly loses the strange atmosphere and shouts with a bright smile.

When the eyes full of anticipation and joy and excited lips raise a question mark in my head and raise doubts, the words that came out of the goddess’s mouth make my mind dizzy.

“I have been anxiously awaiting my day, Harold, the fallen knight who will become my faithful servant.”

The goddess who looked forward to the fate and future of others called me a servant with a confident voice.
