Daikoku 4* Side Story

Momentary of Blessings with Blooming Marsh Marigold - Part 2

(Tarot Card Results)

Daikoku: So to confirm… You want to see fortune for your match result, am I right, Iruru-san…?

Iruru: You’re right, I’ll leave it to you.
I’ll be happy if I can make a chain of yakumans~ ¹

Daikoku: ……………

Iruru: How’s the result? …Was it another one that said nothing?

Daikoku: No, it’s not… It actually has something……

Iruru: Hmm……?

Daikoku: Seeing the result… Iruru-san will have a quite bad day tomorrow……
Especially anything related to a match. I could say that those will become your worst moments……

Iruru: Y- You’ve got to be kidding me……

Daikoku: Maybe, it’s also best to withdraw from the mahjong competition……
The result could lead you into some kind of trauma……

Nikako: Eek…… So it’s that bad as a result……

Iruru: Y- You can just see it as a fortune telling!
I’m sorry, Daikoku… But I want to revoke the result!

Daikoku: I’ll… Be glad if that can be that case……

Iruru: Shouldn’t you try to encourage me like “You’re surely able to change your fate!”,
Or like give me some kind of fortune-telling positivity at times like this?!

Hatsumi: Heheheh. The fortune-telling situation feels more real now thanks to Iruru’s act of sacrifice.

Iruru: Why must I be the sacrifice for this?!

Hatsumi: Try to read my fortune next.
With this amount, I’m sure that you can’t say no now.

Daikoku: B… But…… Am I really allowed to read fortunes from My Lord……

Hatsumi: Are you underestimating your beliefs about fortune telling?

Daikoku: Eh……?

Hatsumi: While I know that you want to maintain your respect to me,
Isn’t it no use to hesitate at this point? You must face me with all of your might!

Daikoku: …… I understand!
Then, it is as you wished… My Lord…! 

Hatsumi: For my case, I also want to know my fortune for tomorrow.
I’ll accept any kind of result, so you must tell all of it to me.

Daikoku: Got it……!


Daikoku: Without any hesitation…… I will tell the result to My Lord as it is.

Hatsumi: Sure thing. I’ll leave it to you.

Daikoku: … It’s a wave of good luck, so astonishing just as if you were reborn.
That is all what was told from the card…!

Hatsumi: Heh…… I see.
I was right. So the current me is indeed being blessed by undeniable love from the heavens!

Shigure: Are you sure that you actually read the result?!
Is this a bias?? It seems like you’re only saying the good things to Hatsumi-san now!

Daikoku: Excuse me? I’m telling every result as what it is……
We can only see if they’re right or not by tomorrow, anyway……

Shigure: Grrhー!!

Nikako: Me, me, me!! Let’s end this by looking at my fortune result!

Daikoku: … I thought Nikacchi is a kind of person that will never be concerned about luck……

Nikako: That’s not true!
I also watched the morning horoscopes everyday!

Daikoku: I understand…… Then, I’ll read your fortune now……
But you shouldn’t be too concerned about the result……

Nikako: Got it!

Hehehe~ Can’t wait to see my result!!

Iruru: It’s great that Nikako’s still in the mood despite what happened to me and Shigure earlier……

Shigure: Nuh-uh, Iruru-senpai! Shigure was not getting a bad result or anything like it!

Daikoku: …… Your luck is also not bad, Nikacchi……

Nikako: Is that so?!

Daikoku: Mhm…… It is written that you’ll get a scoop of happiness tomorrow.

Nikako: A scoop of happiness…? I wonder what is that about…

Daikoku: Pretty sure that we’ll only know about the answer tomorrow……

… So with this, I’ve read fortunes from everyone……
I feel quite tired now……

Hatsumi: Mhm. We’re also having a good amount of fun.
Let’s call it a day now.

Make sure that we all will be reporting the results, by the lesson right after our day-off.

Nikako: Got it~!

Shigure: Pretty sure there’ll be nothing to talk about!

Iruru: That’s just like your fortune result though~
As for my case…… I hope it was all a mistake……


Hatsumi: Well then… Let’s get straight to the conclusion.
Tell your story and see if Daikoku’s fortune reading was right or wrong.

Iruru: Okay…… I guess we’re starting from me……

Hatsumi: Seeing from your expression… Was it right on the mark?

Iruru: Uuu…… Yes, it was! Definitely hitting the bull’s eye!!
It was a huge loss, to the point where everyone on the table was having pity on me~!

I don’t think I want to see any Mahjong tiles now……
I didn't want to admit it, but Daikoku’s fortune telling was right and I should’ve believed in it earlier~......

Hatsumi: … I’ll go next. It was really correct for my case as well!

Not only the preparation for the next performance went so smooth,
I happened to meet Noa while I was driving, then we went to toss some drinks… It was unusual of her.

Even when I try to look back at it now, it was really a wonderful day to have!
I must give my thanks to you, Daikoku.

Daikoku: I was just reading the fortune telling results to you……
But if My Lord feels happy, it’s all enough for me…!

Hatsumi: Anyway. What about Nikako? 
Did you really see a kind of scoop of happiness?

Nikako: I did! It makes me feel really happy!!

I was guiding an elder the way to go, but then he happened to be the owner of a sweets store.
As a form of gratitude, he gave me a sample of his new sweets variant!

The sweets tasted so good and it’s like they’re all melting inside me!
My chest kept pounding in happiness the whole time!

Iruru: I see…! So that’s where the happiness was.

Nikako: That means it’s just Shigure-chan left……
How was it going? Did you see anything special on that day?

Shigure: …… It was nothing!
Just a kind of day like how it usually has been!

Hatsumi: So this means all of the fortune telling results were correct……
Well done, Daikoku.

Daikoku: Right……! Revelations from Heaven do really exist after all!

Tsubomi-san… I will continue to pave my way in this direction……!


(――Several days after that…)

Daikoku: Nngg……

Nikako: You’re spreading and staring at those tarot cards again, aren’t you, Daa-chan…

Daikoku: It was said that I'll be able to make a closer bond with My Lord this morning……
But it seems like that didn’t go well……

Nikako: Ah… You’re right, Ren-san had urgent business and she went there as soon as she could…

Daikoku: Right… It’s really the opposite from the fortune result……

The following days after I read everyone’s fortune in here for the first time,
I really have been unable to get them right again……

Maybe that one was a coincidence, after all……
I am still far away from being good……

Nikako: Daa-chan……

Daikoku: But with this, once again I’m feeling sure……
Tsubomi-san is really a great person to me……!

(Someday, I’ll be able to become a person like her……
I have to learn so much more in order to reach that goal……!)

TL notes:

[1] In Mahjong, Yakuman is a set of tiles which you can consider as an absolute win (maximum pts).
