Part 4
And the next day after I had given up, strangely my feet were draards the direction of the fortune-teller It's probably just because I was free every day There's no other reason than that
”Ahh”
Yet another bizarre ain with Ibuki
”Why did you coain?and alone too” Ibuki asked
Ibuki hugs herself while looking at usted expression
”That's my line too I'll return the question to you as it is” I replied
”You said you liked fortune-telling, didn't you? I just thought maybe you'd try to have your fortune told even if you're alone That's all”
It's a sort of renegotiation then, or perhaps she ca of that sort I wonder if Ibuki just likes fortune-telling thatto knohich part of fortune-telling she likes in particular
”This is a straightforward question, but Ibuki, are you the type of person who believes in fortune-telling?” I asked her
”Is it wrong if I believe in it?”
”No, I' you can just suddenly believe in right?”
It's not like everyone understands that fortune-telling is an application of cold reading like Horikita does In other words, there are many people believe in that mysterious power
”It's so often think about first, but if you can't throw aside that thought, you'd be better off not being interested in it at all” Ibuki said
”Are you saying non-believers have no right to fortune-telling then?” I asked her
”That's not quite rightlet me just say this, it's not like even I believe unconditionally in fortune-telling It's just that people who are skeptical fro from this” Ibuki carries on
”The people whoare full of contradictions Many people normally don't believe in the existence of a God But when they're in trouble, it's often that sort of God that they pray to” Ibuki continued
A good analogy God doesn't exist, ghosts don't exist People who often make statements like that pray to God They would visit shrines on New Year's Day and pray for a healthy life, a prosperous business and fulfill, it's still the sa What you truly believe in and what you want are different things nobody can deny that
But, yes, if I think such things, indeed I can understand where Ibuki is co in Gods nor is done by a human who exists just like you do It's natural to be skeptical towards so like that
”Did you get it?” she asks me
”Yeah It was easy to understand”
Of course I still haveto make And that's where I made a proposal to her
”Hey, this fortune-telling requires a pair but it's not like the only thing they're divining is love affairs, right?” I asked her
”Naturally, yes” Ibuki said
