☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Ayano chooses a folded note from the corresponding numerical category of predictions and hands it to the old man.

She does not know exactly which one he received or what is written there, but when he unfolds it, he will be able to read the following text:

Black clouds cover the sky, a cold wind blows through the kimono. Servants leave your mansion. Even after lying in bed all day, you will feel no vigor. Hope drowns in the mist just as a dragon loses its golden orb.

- Your wish will not come true.
- The expected meeting will not take place.
- Your lost item will not be found.
- A journey will turn into misfortune.
- You may lose money.
- You will fail the exam.
- A disputed situation will be lost.
- Your romantic interest will be cold toward you.
- Moving will result in severe difficulties.
- Childbirth will be problematic.
- A sick person will not recover.
- A marriage proposal will be rejected.

Han-kyo

During periods of medium misfortune, one should approach all aspects of life with caution. One must not show impatience or hope for a lucky coincidence. It is not recommended to invest in dubious projects or plan major steps. Communication with people may be difficult, so there is no need to give free rein to emotions. During han-kyo, one should take special care of their well-being and health, especially during the cold season—eat well, stay warm, avoid large crowds, and do not overwork. Remember that in a dark state of soul, any minor setbacks tend to grow like a snowball into larger ones; therefore, one must maintain a positive spirit even when it is difficult. Upon the conclusion of the han-kyo period, luck will certainly balance back to positive values if the person remained patient and steadfast.


- Usually, when a bad prediction is drawn, people prefer to tie the omikuji to a cedar branch—there it is, to the right, between shamuso and haiden. It is believed that this should anchor the misfortune here so that it does not travel with you and subsequently dissipates. If the prediction is good, one can do the same with a different effect—it is believed that luck does not fall immediately into your "pocket," but remains here waiting for you in order to strengthen in the future. But most often, people simply take the lucky prediction with them. For good luck.

While three were waiting for Ayano's prediction, a fifth person appeared on the territory of Kamimori. It was one of Sonata's students who, by all appearances, was heading toward the villa for another training session.
- Good morning. I heard... One can confess here? How much does it cost?

- Ah, etto... Yun-dono, if I am not mistaken?.. Ohayou. Nothing. Confession is free.
