Volume 2 Chapter 8-2 Stone Diviner Apprentice, Realizing Accuracy
"Yes. My first job was yesterday, but I borrowed the room that the teacher prepared for me."
"My first job!"
"That's right! I properly did the work of a stone diviner for the first time yesterday! I wanted Ms. Natalia to hear about it."
Of course, I can't leak the personal information of the person I read for, so the story I can share is harmless──how I was able to create a beautiful magic circle and how the stones shone beautifully.
"Wow, congratulations, Lady Elena!"
We held hands for a moment and squealed with excitement.
Even though we graduated from the academy, when we meet like this, we easily revert to the atmosphere of our school days, I thought.
"So, shall we try to read Ms. Natalia's worries?"
I sat in my chair and had Ms. Natalia sit in the chair across from me.
I laid a fine cloth on the table and placed the jewelry box I received from the teacher yesterday in one corner.
"I'm worried about marriage."
"I see."
Since we are at that age, everyone must be worried about such things.
Rudger and Ms. Parsley were the same.
And the person from yesterday was also worried about her daughter's marriage; it's not as simple as just liking someone when it comes to nobility.
Well, I married Rolus because I liked him.
"I have many marriage proposals, and I've narrowed it down to 2, but I can't decide which one to choose."
"Two..."
"Yes. To be honest, I really don't mind either way..."
She has to choose between 2, but she genuinely doesn't care which one; it feels like I've heard that somewhere before.
While thinking that, I drew Ms. Natalia's magic circle and the magic circles for the two candidates.
Then, as I rolled the stones into the circles... huh... this is the one I saw yesterday...
If I'm not mistaken, the stone is saying "the person from yesterday."
Huh... it was Ms. Natalia's father...
Now that I think about it, the shine of the stone that rolled into her magic circle resembled someone; it was Ms. Natalia.
...Wow, my divination is spot on!
"Ms. Natalia, do you really not mind either of them?"
Marriage, huh?
That means we'll probably spend our whole lives together, right?
Isn't saying it doesn't matter a bit much?
As another part of me quickly fires off questions in my mind.
But I must stay calm.
I can't afford to repeat the mistakes of yesterday.
"That's right. So I thought I'd consult Lady Elena."
"Have you met these two already?"
"Yes. After meeting them, I thought either one would be fine."
"Is that really possible?"
"The divination results also say either one is fine..."
"I value my parents, so anyone who brings no harm and benefits my family would be good. From what I secretly found out, both of them seem fine."
How did she secretly find out?
Well, I heard she was an information broker in that game, so maybe she got some intel through some back channels...?
"I see. So... how do they look?"
"Well, I was planning to prioritize my family's benefits and not worry about looks, but both of them have rather beautiful faces... and they're both quite to my taste..."
It's really hard to choose between these two.
I had my doubts about Ms. Natalia's father being indifferent, but she truly seems to feel that either choice is fine.
I didn't want to doubt the results of my own divination, but I never expected her to genuinely think either one was okay.
"To put it simply, it seems that either choice would lead to a happy marriage."
Since I hit the nail on the head with Ms. Natalia's feelings, I believe this result is accurate.
"Ugh, not even the divination can help me decide..."
With connections, family background, and even looks being fine, and the divination also saying either is okay, I guess such a thing can happen.
"It seems like it would be best to have someone else decide."
"Huh, so Lady Elena will meet with the two of them?"
Huh, that sounds fun!
...No, it does sound fun, but the results from yesterday indicated that it would be better for Ms. Natalia's father to choose.
However, I can't just share the results of someone else's divination, so formally I have to roll the gem.
"I don't think I can choose anyone other than Rolus. Even for Ms. Natalia's sake."
"Ah! That's true!"
Ms. Natalia nods with a face that looks somewhat happy.
"I'll predict who should be entrusted."
"Yes."
I know who will come out, but formally I draw a magic circle on the table.
I set up areas for family, relatives, and friends, and rolled the gem into those areas.
"It looks like it'll be father."
"Father."
"It says it's best to marry the person whom father thinks is good from a same-sex perspective."
"Then I'll have father decide!"
I think that's a good idea.
After all, the same result came out yesterday as well!
"Thank you, Lady Elena."
Ms. Natalia said this with a brighter smile than when she arrived.
If my divination relieved even a little of her worries, that's good.
"I'm glad I consulted with Lady Elena."
"Is that so? Then I'm glad too."
We both giggle together.
"To be honest, I was unsure whether to consult you or not. I thought you might be busy, but my feet just led me here."
"What would you have done if I had been really busy today?"
"I thought I would just see Lady Elena's face and head home. Just seeing your face somehow calms my heart."
Do you think my face is some kind of mental stabilizer?
Well, that's fine anyway.
At first, I thought it didn't matter which partner to choose for marriage, but I'm too young to think deeply about it.
After all, we're all still teenagers.
Since it was also predicted that either choice would lead to happiness, my cute friend will surely be happy.
Though really, she will end up wearing the pants with her husband; that's a story for another future.
