[bakemonoremy]

Location: Game Research Club Room

Subaru: Hello~! Natsume, you there?

Natsume: Come IN. I welcome yOU.

Subaru: Oh, there’s the crystal ball~! I like crystal balls, they glitter when the sun shines through them!

Natsume: Hey nOW, Baru-kUN, don’t barrel in here like thAT. You’ll disturb the magical poweRS. AlSO, put the crystal ball back to its former locatiON.

Subaru: Oka~y. ...Hmhm, so you’re going to read our fortunes with this crystal ball?

Natsume-sensei, Natsume-sensei. Anything goes, so please read my fortune~ ♪

Natsume: Anything goES, hUH… That’s the most troubling kind of requeST. If anything’s fine with yOU, how about I divinate tomorrow’s weathER?

Subaru: Ah, that might be something I wanna know! You know, I accidentally left my phone at home today so I didn’t have a chance to check the weather forecast~

Natsume-sensei, what’s the weather for tomorrow~?

Natsume: It’s raIN.

Subaru: Eh, I don’t like rain…

Natsume-sensei, use your powers to make it be sunny instead! Come on, come on, please~♪

Natsume: Yuuki-kUN, I’m done with Baru-kun’s fortune-telliNG, so I’ll tell yours neXT.

Subaru: Don’t ignore me!?

Uu~, I’m sorry. Even though I asked for you to read my fortune, I couldn’t come up with anything to ask you…

Ah, that’s it! Natsume, tell me how my luck with money is!

Natsume: Luck with monEY...?

Subaru: Yes, yes, I reeeally wanna know if I’m going to be blessed with many sparkling things in the future!

Natsume: Aah, yeS. I understaND. Well thEN, I’ll go back to square one and tell Baru-kun’s monetary fortuNE.

Abra ● Kadabra, Chichinpoipoi….♪

Subaru: Ahaha, what’s with that~ Using a magic spell makes you sound like a magician rather than a fortune-teller!

Natsume: I am a magiciAN. GeEZ, don’t be so noiSY, you’re distracting ME…

OH, I can see the resuLT.

Hmhm… Baru-kUN, your monetary luck is the worST.

No matter what you dO, money will get away from yOU, it saYS. Your luck with money is terribLE, so it’d be best for you to refrain from making any unnecessary purchasES.

You should be careful with your regular purchases as weLL, there’s a chance you’ll go broKE.

Subaru: Eeh, that’s a lie! I absolutely won’t believe it!

Natsume: I’m not telling liES. I merely convey the things I see in the crystal ball as they aRE.

Subaru: (Crying) N- No way… Going broke… I absolutely don’t want to lose all my sparkling things~!

Makoto: A- Akehoshi-kun! Calm down!

It’s gonna be fine, it’ll probably just be temporary! So please, cheer up~?

Natsume: Now thEN, I’m done reading Baru-kun’s fortuNE, so it’s Yuuki-kun’s turn neXT.

Yuuki-kUN, what fortune do you want me to read for yOU?

Makoto: Umm… Wait a second, I’ll take a deep breath and calm down!

Natsume: ...AhH, it must be troubles distinctive of this seasON. You’re worrying over whether or not you’re going to receive chocolates on Valentine’S, rigHT?

Makoto: Eeh, how did you know…? Did I accidentally say that out loud!?

Natsume: It seemed like this was gonna take loNG, so I tried tricking you into revealing the truTH. WeLL, judging from your reactiON, I was right on the monEY.

Let me cut right to the chase and tell your fortuNE. Abra ● Kadabra, Chichinpoipoi….♪

HmmM… AaH, this is harSH.

Makoto: W-What does harsh mean? Am I not going to get any chocolate on Valentine’s Day...?

Natsume: YeS. To put it bluntLY, you won’t receive a single piece of chocolaTE.

On Valentine’S, you’ll suffer from an ill fortune concerning womEN. It’ll be extremely bAD, so you better be prepared for thAT.

Makoto: ………..

Natsume: Ah~aH, the number of living corpses has increased by oNE.

Oh, weLL. Little kittEN, I’m sorry I’ve made you waIT. What fortune would you like me to tell for yOU?

None in particulAR? Hm~M, that part of you is one of your virtues in my eyES…

It can’t be helpED, I suppose I’ll read your immediate futuRE.  I wonder if I’ll see you being a reliable instructor as the producer of the idols at YumenosaKI?

Abra ● Kadabra, Chichinpoipoi….♪

...EH!?

Subaru: What’s wrong, Natsume? You almost dropped your crystal ball...?

Natsume: AH… For me of all people to get shaken up by thIS.

EveryoNE, calm down and listEN, okAY...?

...The little kitten will get married very soON.
