As we exited the circus, the stall tents were already set up like it was planned that such an announcement would be made.
So, it looks like the city would be busy for a few weeks with beast men and festival.
By the way, millennial festival is coming. As the name suggests, a festival that 'may' occur only once in a millennium.
In fact, there is sometimes that this festival is not celebrated in many millenniums.
This festivals signals to many new revolutions and changes, orthodox or unorthodox.
Ah, it is almost evening.
I will need to play a game today otherwise I will die.
Funny, isn't it?
"Come here and have a divine tarot card revelation, one of the four holy games of the church!"
Tarot card revelations, the famous game that could reveal the fate of people.
But, a holy game, why?
As if she saw through the confusion in my mind, Rishta who wrapped herself around my arm answered,
"After a few weeks of founding, the church of the god of the games declared its four holy games directly connected to their god and his apostles, namely, chess, tarot, ball games and
Dice games. Come on, let's see our fate."
According to her, there were many variations of the above games. Although, some ball games, dice games and tarot existed since long ago, many new variations and an entirely new chess game was introduced by the church.
But, I still need to play a game and tarot might not be necessarily identified as a game by the system.
"Let's call it day now, I may die if you keep dragging me along like this whole day and night."
[New Quest]
[The game of Fate and Faith]
[Description: Play the game of the tarot card divination of the circus of Banjara.]
[Reward: A tarot card.]
[Penalty: None]
So, the first mission that I will attend.
After my denial, Rishta shone her puppy eyes but was ready to back off if I declined again. The system classifies it as a game so let's try it once.
"Yay!" She screamed in excitement as I agreed with a nod.
The purple tent was probably set-up quite fast in comparison to its fellow maybe because of the simple application as just a closed off chamber.
The volputous human blonde trying to attract costumers smiled at her first people and led them in with a smile. That was a naughty smile with mature charm on her unblemished visage. She was wearing a white piece of dress that could be said to be of a nun but is in a body that should be the farthest from that character.
In one word, sexy.
"Arara~~, such a cute pair of couples; Would you like to know about what your future together will be like."
She offered us some seat in the tiny chamber with a table in front of us and another chair opposite to it.
The table had a transparent glass ball and a typical deck of cards, although, bluish-black in color in contrast to the typical white colour I have ever seen.
"Are you from the church? You don't look like one of any beast tribe men." I asked as the first thing as I said down on my chair.
She widened her mischievous smile into more naughty one and whispered in my ears, "Keen eyes you got there. I advice you to not look at other women so much, otherwise your girlfriend might get jealous." and sat down in her place after removing her white cloak that concealed her curves.
Anyways, I did not clear up our misunderstanding of being couple since we look like one and it would raise more attention if I ran my mouth too much.
One of my many policies are; Key to being safe is not being center of attention but not isolated.
After all, only famous are assassinated and unknown disappear without any trace, well normal people are still killed.
That's discouraging like we don't have any leftover routes.
Okay, we are straying away from the topic.
The nun already shuffled through her deck of cards and laid them in a line.
"Now pick of one of the cards each without peeking and then I will pick just one card for both of you."
We obliged and pulled back our chosen cards.
"Now, it's my turn."
She leaned forward and excitedly started running her fingers through her cards but almost confused of which one to choose.
I gulped hard.
Woah lady, the way she is leaning allows me to clearly see her bountiful clevages through the slits in her dress. It is almost funny how she acts like a child sometimes with a body like that.
Ouch! That hurts Rishta.
Wait, she pinched me for staring too much.
"Okay, this one~~"
The nun finally choose a card.
"Well, should I start the revelation?"
She said remaining in the same position. Her eyes had a weird gleam in her but I was too distracted by the view to care about that.
"Please, yes."
Oh, weird imaginations have started to run through my head, I am tempted to touch and violate her on spot even if Rishta is here with me.
She flipped the card belonging to the Rishta as she said to me, "Sorry handsome but it is a custom to flip the lady's card first, your gazes tell me you are excited to see them~~"
It was unclear whether she was talking about cards or something else but I just nodded.
The card belonging to Rishta had a weird teddy doll nailed to wall. The doll gave me a weird feeling like it grew out from those nails.
"'The doll on the nails, denoting someone stuck to a custom or rule. Since, this was drawn out first of the three, it shows your past, 'child'."
"Then, quickly say what does it means?!"
Rishta was a bit annoyed at being called a 'child' by the lady who put weird emphasis on the word but her voice was still a bit loud and her breathing was ragged even if she has been sitting for quite a while.
Okay, something is wrong here.
