I Became a Foreign Worker Loved by Transcendents
Chapter 52: A Fortune Teller Does Not Know Their Future.Fortune teller Airi Haven.
The last descendant of the Haven family, carrying the blood of the Goddess of Destruction, she entered this empire to prevent the foretold apocalypse.
And her purpose, even with the power to see the future, was something she couldn’t assert would certainly be achieved.
Even the predicted future could change due to the whims of the ‘Transcendents,’ so one must not finalize the future just by seeing it once.
Thus, reviewing the variables, it was necessary to check her own future repeatedly…
-Haaah, haah, Hyo-Sung, Hyo-Sung~♥
But why?
Despite experiencing several changes in the future since coming to this empire, the reason this result remained unchanged and consistently appeared was…
-Hehe, you were initially so shy, but you’re completely like a female dog now.
-Haaaangh~ To not know such pleasure until now~ I’ve missed half of my life♥♥♥Beyond embarrassment, it was a rotten state.
It was disturbing to think she would become like this in the future, but more so that he, who had shown such a simple demeanor before her, could become such a frivolous person.
“Th-this, don’t worry about it for now. Currently…”
Of course, ‘connecting’ would only happen when nothing was done about it.
Knowing the future meant it could be changed, so if this time had not yet come, there was a possibility to change the future.
“Okay, let’s calm down and try to sort things out a bit more.”
Whoosh.
Airi, swirling her hand over the crystal ball, attempted to sort out the events that had transpired.
Responding to her intent, the first thing that came to her mind was information about a demon who had been a close aide to the Demon King and served in his army for the longest time.
“Mephisto, the Frenzied Jester… I never imagined that the Goddess of Destruction would guide Hyo-Sung to her.”
While it was difficult to understand precisely without direct interaction, if she had recognized the target through prophecy, she could vaguely grasp fundamental information such as origin or race.
And by reading the past of the woman in the prophecy, Airi could understand why the Goddess of Destruction saw his survival potential in her.
If she, who didn’t even have affection for her own kin, could create a variable in the areas where the demons invaded, perhaps she could change that situation.
‘But why did Mephisto, who should have been intertwined with Hyo-Sung in the future, disappear after such a variable saved him?’
It made no sense for a warlord to submit to a person from another world, but a once certain future changing again was a cause for concern for Airi.
A changed future meant the intervention of a transcendent, and their whimsical acts were variables even a fortune teller must be wary of.
‘Mephisto might change the future with her whims… But what if someone else intervened?’
Having seen such caprices several times recently, Airi couldn’t simply finalize the future she saw and kept checking for changes in her future over time.
The future, where she alone endlessly swayed under him, unchanging since Mephisto’s disappearance…
“It feels good… Harder, do it harder~~~♥”
“…Uh, ugh.”
Airi covered her face with her hands at the sight without realizing it.
After taking a deep breath to calm herself, she turned her flushed face toward the crystal ball, mulling over her frustration.
‘If I properly understand the process, I can figure out why it led to this result, but it’s not easy to adjust the view between the present and the observed future.’
Predicting the future was like aiming at a target with a ball in hand.
For a close target, you throw lightly, and for a far target on the opposite wall, you throw with all your might, but for a hole in between, you have to throw in a parabolic trajectory.
Anyone who feels the need for precision and power control would understand that it’s harder to minutely understand the process than to know the cause and effect.
“Yes, the future is ultimately the result built from the foundation, just a destination. If we change the present, which is the beginning, the future will also change significantly.”
So, instead of worrying about the future, she initially had to consider and decide how to accept the present.
Airi, reminded once again of her family’s teachings, soon regained her composure and focused her power back into the crystal ball.
Realizing that the crucial moment leading to the future she had always kept in mind was now close at hand.
“It’s going to happen soon, isn’t it?”
The time is today, about 30 minutes from now.
It would start when he, recognizing this tent, would come to express his gratitude to her as she prepared to camp out for the night.
In the process, she’d learn about his worries and then go into a tavern to drink and start various conversations under the pretext of counseling him.
In the end, both drunk, they would stumble into an inn room and be swept away by the atmosphere that followed.
-Airi, wait, just a moment… This needs to be done more cautiously…
-It’s okay. I’ve seen a lot of this. I can do it well~♡
She would push him onto the bed despite his hesitation, then proceed to kiss him, undress, and engage in the act.
Even without knowing the details, she was certain that this encounter would directly lead to the ‘corruption’ that would happen in the distant future.
The fact that she, in her drunken state, led the entire process was also undeniable.
“…Could it be that I was the cause?”
Wasn’t it quite hollow?
How did that innocent young man, who had no connection to such things, change like this, and the cause of such a transformation in her was just a single misstep at a drinking session?
“But on the other hand, it might be fortunate that it happened this way. At least it confirms that I didn’t abandon my mission and act recklessly.”
Thus, Airi, coming to terms with the situation, began to ponder deeply over the content of the imminent future.
“So, what should I do from now on? The most certain thing would be to distance myself from Hyo-Sung, but…”
No, that was too extreme a choice.
Although he was regarded as an insignificant foreigner, two transcendents were already involved with him, and oddly enough, one of them was even predicted to possibly submit to him.
Even if the process was unknown, if the outcome was such, it meant he was also born with an extraordinary destiny.
Then, even if he wasn’t the hero she was looking for, he might have a comparable influence.
“Yes, so instead of keeping distance here, it might be better to build some rapport and create an opportunity to intervene in his affairs…”
Crack!
“…What?”
A sharp noise occurred just as she was about to reach a conclusion.
Following that, the entire screen distorted, and bewilderment started to bloom on Airi’s face.
“What… what on earth is this…?!”
Airi, in a panic, put more power into the crystal ball.
This meant there was a problem with the power to observe the future, but no matter how much energy she put into it, there was no sign of the screen recovering.
This situation continued unchanged even after a long period of about 30 minutes.
“This is troublesome. If communication with that person isn’t properly established, given the uncertainty of what may happen next…!”
Feeling anxious, Airi quickly took the crystal ball and left the tent, heading towards the street.
Thinking that the movement of the stars might have been disturbed, she decided to cast her fortune in a place with a clearer view of the sky.
“Airi!”
It was at that moment that a familiar voice called out.
Unable to ignore it, Airi halted her steps and quickly turned her gaze towards the source of the voice.
What she saw was a man, seemingly having rushed through the streets, now panting heavily as he gazed at her.
“Hyo… Hyo-Sung…?”
She belatedly realized.
During her previous confusion, the time of the prophecy had already been advanced.
“…Airi.”
But if nothing immediate would happen, she couldn’t just distance herself from him.
So, she would assume the future she had seen, join him, and then enter a tavern to talk and observe the situation.
Naturally, in the process, she would drink juice instead of alcohol and, after he would fall drunk, she would take him to an inn room before leaving alone.
“I have something to say.”
As she was planning how to avoid the immediate situation, he soon looked at her directly and voiced the resolve he had been harboring.
“Please have sex with me!!!”
“Ye– sex…? What?”
Thud.
Her body froze, and her mind went blank.
Then, as her eyes widened, his face began to fall dramatically.
Thump!!!
A sound so loud it couldn’t just be his knees hitting the ground.
With such force, he then slammed his head to the ground and yelled as loud as he could.
“Just have sex with me once!!!!!”
Whoosh!
At that moment, a gust of wind swept through the alley.
Along with it, the burst of energy hit her face, and Airi, overwhelmed, began to stiffen.
“…Eh?”
Her breath stiffened, and her vision trembled.
Still not understanding the situation, she took a moment to reflect on the words of the man who had bowed his head before her.
‘Please have sex with me.’
Yes, he had definitely said that.
He wasn’t swept up in the moment but directly of his own will.
“What… What did you just say…?”
‘Please have sex with me!’
“S-se…”
“Sex!! Sex!!!”
“Eh, eeh, eh?”
“Eeeeeeeek!?!?!??!?”
A scream burst out as she belatedly understood everything.
But even though she understood it in her head, Airi, unable to accept it in her heart, began frantically waving her arms in confusion.
The current situation was beyond her expectations—something she couldn’t even imagine happening in front of her.
“What are you talking about, Hyo-Sung?! Wh-what on earth is this sudden…?”
“It’s the wish of my lifetime!!”
She wondered if it was a dream, but he kept slamming his head into the ground, trying to drive home his request.
The strong spirit that came along with it was not something that could be made from a dream-like illusion.
“Just once, only once is enough. Please sleep with me just for one night!”
“Ah, uh…”
“Please, I beg you! Please!!!”
“Waaah, waaaah!!!”
Airi Haven, not knowing what to do, clutched her face with both hands.
Yet he did not seem to have any intention of lifting his head from its place.
As if he wouldn’t move until she gave a proper answer, his head remained pinned to the spot.
“This is… this is crazy! We’re supposed to go drink together. Why are you saying this directly, Hyo-Sung…?!”
Indeed, the Hyo-Sung she knew would never behave like this.
She had come to this understanding after reading his past and gathering as much information as she could about his connections.
Having built such trust in him, Airi found it not difficult to discern his current state.
‘The ominous magical power I feel from Hyo-Sung right now… Right, he’s been enchanted by a vampire!’
Not just any trivial vampire.
A vampire of the so-called ‘True Breed’, boasting immense power and sudden actions that even the Goddess of Destruction couldn’t predict, had appeared before him and interfered with his fate.
‘A declining dragon, a warlord of the Demon King’s army, and now a True Breed vampire… just how many transcendent beings are you entangled with?!’
Despite her resentment, realizing he wasn’t acting on his own will, Airi couldn’t blame him and looked up to meet his eyes.
His eyes showed a firm resolve.
Even though he was clearly under the influence of a vampire, his face was flushed as if drunk.
“Airi, please give me your answer.”
Only the root of his current action seemed to tell her that it was a result involving his own heart.
“Can you have a relationship with me?”
Yes, he wasn’t forcing her.
Even in his not-so-sober state, he seemed to be considering her, leaving the choice to her.
‘Ah, no, but still… This isn’t normal.’
And Airi realized.
The reason the future had become uncertain at this moment was because of the variable created by a True Breed vampire targeting her.
As the future was changed by the whims of transcendent beings and the actions of those who knew the future, the future would be determined by the answer she gave now.
‘I have to refuse…’
And the answer to that seemed obvious.
Considering the mission she bore, forming a relationship with someone else should be a carefully considered decision.
‘I should refuse, I should…’
But why couldn’t her lips utter the refusal easily?
Knowing she had a mission and that they had only formed a relationship due to drunkenness, it would be natural to distance herself first and then cautiously continue the relationship.
Thump, thump.
But why?
She had never forgotten him since their first meeting, constantly checking their entwined future, even imagining their relationship when not prophesizing, yet unable to easily refuse his absurd proposition.
“…Yes, yes.”
Such confusion ultimately distorted even her decision-making process for the dilemma.
Soon, her lips, as if having lost her very self, gradually opened, and her innermost thoughts began to faintly and precariously seep out.
“This… i-inadequate self of mine… I will… pl-please… do my best….”
Perhaps it was something she could utter only because she was beyond rational judgment.
A response that might be called her true feelings.
