Atenbo-senpai’s Prophecy

In a dark room, only one candle illuminated a small area amidst the darkness.

As the curtains were drawn to block the light in the corridor, the atmosphere in the prophecy room became even more mysterious. As the candlelight flickered, a girl wearing a witch's hat smiled at the two of them.

"Welcome, both of you from the student council, thank you for your hard work in patrolling."

"No, this is what we should do." Fumino smiled back, then said somewhat apologetically, "According to regulations, we need to ensure that fire prevention measures and exit routes are still intact. Would Senpai like to cooperate with the inspection?"

"Of course, you can also search, but this is only for women." Atenbo Yume stood up from seat and said calmly with a smile.

"If President Asada comes, I'm afraid he'll be too excited and commit crimes right in front of Secretary Furuhashi."

"..."

Her words came so suddenly that Fumino didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Shinichi had already begun to ensure the safety of the fortune teller's house, and explained to her smoothly:

"Don't worry, that's just Atenbo-senpai's character."

Touching her smooth cheek, Yume smiled meaningfully: "My goodness, this is the first time we've met, but President Asada knows me very well, which makes me a little happy... So, can you tell me your strengths?"

"Sorry."

Shinichi wrapped his arm around Fumino's shoulder, confidently.

"She's still here, let me firmly refuse!"

At this moment, Fumino didn't know whether she wanted to complain about those words first, or complain about his actions like robbing a civilian girl.

Anyway, stomp his foot first.

Fumino didn't hold back, and Shinichi moved his chin.

This time, Yume said what Fumino wanted to complain about, but her words were still strange.

"Then if he's not here, do you want to go on a date?"

Shinichi formed a smile and answered calmly.

"If he's not here, I will politely decline."

"Hmp."

Because she heard that he wasn't lying, Fumino still let go of his foot, although her face was still dark.

As for being hugged by Shinichi... Just let it be. Besides, it won't hinder his work.

Freed from Yume's interference, their inspection work went very smoothly, and it didn't take them long to check the files.

During this period, Yume continued to gaze at them with a smile, which was somewhat eerie.

Knowing this well, Fumino couldn't joke about the mysterious character and squinted her eyes, ready to leave after the inspection.

"Before you go, do both of you want to be prophesied?" Yume sat back in her position, stroking the crystal ball with the palm of her hand, and said slowly, "It's free."

"Sorry Senpai, but I'm not good at math, so it's not applicable." Fumino pulled Shinichi.

"I'm the one that matters, not you."

"I'm afraid my anti-math power will affect Senpai's prophetic power."

"This is the first time I've heard of these two powers."

"We still have work to do, so forgive me for saying goodbye now!"

Afraid of hearing the prophecy results, Fumino and Shinichi hurriedly left the prophecy room.

Yume didn't attempt to stay, she just watched the two figures leaving and showed a smile that couldn't be understood.

"What a pity. Initially, I wanted to tell that girl how to defeat others and become the 'Main Wife'... Um, I don't know if this is a better choice for her."

"Ah~ What's even more regrettable is that I can't see President Asada's fate. Whether in the past or present life, it's so intriguing~"

"I can only tell from his face that he will only have daughters in the future, many daughters... No, even the simplest thing can't be determined. His 'fate' is too complicated."

*Pong*

The crystal ball suddenly shattered. Unsurprised, Yume pulled her hand back and wrapped it with the purple curtain.

"Countless threads entangled together, all tied into dead knots, but from these countless dead knots, a living knot is born..."

"What secret is he hiding? The deeper you go, the more unbearable it becomes~"

She spoke leisurely, with a slight smile in her eyes as she glanced towards the dark corner of the room.

"Do you want to know too, Rank One?"

"...Boring."

A cold voice sounded, indifferent and uninterested in tone.

After that, the prophecy room fell silent again.

The candlelight illuminated the darkness, and only Yume's figure swayed slightly.

"I heard that Atenbo-senpai is very accurate in her predictions and seems to have special powers. Why don't you get a prophecy?"

Shinichi asked this question to Fumino.

But she just stared at him angrily.

"What else do you want to calculate? Are you calculating if you've successfully opened a harem?"

Shinichi looked at her doubtfully, not understanding why she looked unhappy.

"No, I just want to calculate when we'll have our first child. If possible, I hope it's a girl, and her name is Kazuno."

"..."

After staring at his innocent expression for a moment, Fumino sighed helplessly.

"...You're exaggerating. We haven't even officially started dating, and you're already thinking about the name of our daughter."

"If I were an ordinary girl, I might have slapped you by now, called you disgusting, and then turned and left."

Hearing her words, Shinichi couldn't help but laugh happily.

"First of all, you can't just turn and leave before the patrol is over. Second, you're reluctant to slap me for something like that. Lastly, you're not an ordinary girl."

"I was just speaking casually, and you're still explaining it so seriously..."

"In that case, let me ask you, if you're not an ordinary girl, what kind of girl are you?"

If there were no other students around, Shinichi might have hugged her and whispered those words in her ear.

But now, he temporarily blocked that whisper, bowed his head, and smiled gently, saying:

"She'll treat me to a chocolate bar, she's a pretty girl that I really like."

"Hah? So it's about the chocolate bar?"

"No, it's about that time, I kinda liked you."

"...Okay, you pass."

Although she wanted to keep a serious face, Fumino couldn't hold back her laughter, and sweetness immediately filled her flushed cheeks.

Lowering her arm, she quietly hooked her pinky finger with Shinichi's and swung it gently like a pendulum.

"Hey, Asada-kun. Actually, I think..."

"Hm?"

"I prefer the name Hoshino."

Shinichi was momentarily surprised, then nodded.

"That's it... I understand, then let's make it two!"

"???"

(It's not you who will give birth to the child, but you said it so casually!)

"You jerk!"

Puffing up her cheeks, Fumino stomped her foot hard and left.

Like any young couple arguing, Shinichi hurriedly chased after her despite the pain in his feet. At the same time, he swallowed the words, "Wait a moment, you want to skip work before the patrol is over."

He didn't dare to continue.

Soon, the day turned into night.

The first day of the school festival had ended.
