You seem to be in a bad mood. sfx: cute~ cute~ Watanuki: Of course I'm in a bad mood! Watanuki: BECAUSE I'M CARRYING THIS THING! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN STARING AT ME SINCE I STARTED CARRYING IT! sfx: yelling -------------------------- Page 03 Mokona: Relax! How else can Mokona pretend to be a stuffed animal? Watanuki: EVEN LIKE THAT IT'S REALLY STRANGE! Yuuko: You really mind, right? Mokona: Right. Watanuki: Shhhhhh~~~~ Watanuki: I clearly said it before, you couldn't talk! (If somebody knows that you're an unthinkable kind of animal it'll definitely cause a commotion!) Yuuko: Watanuki, you're speaking about this loudly. sfx: shake shake sfx: cover -------------------------- Page 04 Watanuki: Then, Where do we need to go? Yuuko: I want to tell you what the deal is with "Divination". Watanuki: Hey! I already said it ...I don't have any interest! sfx: wave wave Yuuko: (Ah Ah!) But girls really like it! Divination... Yuuko: If you understand it, maybe you and Himawari will talk more! (You might even be able to teach her something!) Watanuki: (Ohhh...) I want to know! Yuuko: Magnificent smile, Watanuki! Good! sfx: shine! -------------------------- Page 05 Watanuki: So, and the place we're going to right now? Yuuko: The place of a fortune teller that I trust. Watanuki: A person that Yuuko-san trusts? Yuuko-san, Watanuki: You can just do it yourself without being told by other fortune tellers... Yuuko: Fortune telling your own fortune is one of the taboos, seeing it automatically in any case. Watanuki: Seeing it automatically is possible too, then, -------------------------- Page 06 Yuuko: Predictions are usually a lot different that fortune telling. Watanuki: Predictions and fortune telling are different? Yuuko: Precisely... Watanuki: ? Yuuko: When we meet the fortune teller you'll understand it well. Watanuki: So the champagne is... Yuuko: (Champagne.) A present. Watanuki: YOU'RE STILL GOING TO DRINK? Mokona: Mokona wants to drink champagne too! -------------------------- Page 07 Yuuko: Ok! Get going. (I want to drink soon!) Yuuko: There! Around this corner-- Yuuko: Eh? -------------------------- Page 08 Watanuki: What happened? (It says "Fortune telling".) Is it here? Yuuko: It's not right. Watanuki: The place is not right? Yuuko: It's the right place. But it's not right. -------------------------- Page 09 Watanuki: Then are we going back? Yuuko: Let's give it a try! Watanuki: A try? Didn't you say it's not the right one? sfx: open Yuuko: I want to know what kind of divination is in her "Field" of power! -------------------------- Page 10 Watanuki: What is this? Yuuko: Fill in your personal particulars...This is to collect information on the subject of divination? Watanuki: I suppose I need to put down the truth? Yuuko: Anything will do! Anyway, this is all for your "Fortune-Telling"...If you fake it, you must take the consequences. Watanuki: I will be truthful. ???: Sorry for making you wait! -------------------------- Page 11 Watanuki: Please...Please be of guidance to me. Woman: Are you the one? Yuuko: I'm here to accompany him. sfx: look sfx: look sfx: turn -------------------------- Page 12 Yuuko: ... Woman: Please, relax... Watanuki: She seems to be a very gentle person. (She's miles from Miss Yuuko...) Yuuko: I can hear that, you know! Watanuki: (Uwahh!! Accidentally spoke aloud.) Oh, no! The voice in my mind! -------------------------- Page 13 Woman: Haha... sfx: hand Woman: Then let's begin. Watanuki: Y-Yes... -------------------------- Page 14 Woman: Your father is no longer here! Watanuki: What?! -------------------------- Page 15 Watanuki: ...That's right. He passed away when I was young. Woman: Your mother? Watanuki: Also dead... Woman: Are there any siblings? Watanuki: None. Woman: So you've had a lot of hardships since you were young? Watanuki: Oh, You can tell?! -------------------------- Page 16 Woman: You're living by yourself now? sfx: shuffle Watanuki: Yes. I live in an apartment. Woman: You also possess self-reliance and strong independence, and you are optimistic in life. Woman: You're good at domestic chores, aren't you? sfx: sura Watanuki: I have no dislike for it. Woman: You are the kind who's not open to strangers? Sports? Watanuki: I'm fine with sports. -------------------------- Page 17 Woman: You are energetic, and you seem to have a bright mind. Watanuki: Not really... sfx: blush Woman: Recently, you are bothered by social relationship problems. Watanuki: Um, yes... You can say that. Woman: Why are you staring? But that's no big deal! You are an extremely honest person, so if you treat others with sincerity, they will understand you! Watanuki: Will that work? Yuuko: Isn't that what I've said? -------------------------- Page 18 Woman: Is there anything else that's bothering you? Watanuki: Um, yeah... Well there is, kind of... Woman: Is it something you would prefer not to tell? Watanuki: What I'm trying to say is that... Woman: Nevermind then! It's the heart that counts. -------------------------- Page 19 Watanuki: Eh? Woman: Do you know negative thoughts will make everything unpleasant? If you try hard to look on the bright side of everything, I think your world will change! Woman: Maybe this sounds difficult, but if you were to stop because of that, you wouldn't be able to make any differences! So fear not and try! Watanuki: Y-Yes... -------------------------- Page 20 Woman: Anymore queries? Yuuko: How's the weather tonight? Woman: The weather forecast says that the weather will stay fine. Yuuko: ...Really. Watanuki: Yuuko-... san? -------------------------- Page 21 Maid: The time is up. Woman: Extend this session? Yuuko: No. sfx: stand Yuuko: It's enough. -------------------------- Page 22 Watanuki: ... Mokona: Hehe! How are you! Is the apple nice? Watanuki: Thank you. (...and you even paid for the fortune telling session.) Yeah! That was indeed a proficient fortune teller. Yuuko: Proficient? Watanuki: Because...she said right away-- "Your father is not around". -------------------------- Page 23 Yuuko: Oh! Doesn't that sentence have two meanings? Watanuki: Huh? Yuuko: "Your father's passed away, he's not alive anymore". "Your father is not with you, but he is still alive"... The sentence can be explained either way, whether alive or dead! Yuuko: It was you who stated that your father had passed away. Watanuki: But, she also said that I didn't have an easy life since the time when I was young. Yuuko: I think...For children who lost their parents since when they were young, life is never easy for them. -------------------------- Page 24 Yuuko: Possessing self-reliance, being strongly independent, and being optimistic in life...These are the traits of Aries that are most widely used. Even common horoscope books will tell you this! Watanuki: What about the part on being good in domestic chores? Yuuko: Though you clearly live by yourself, your uniform is clean and tidy. Wouldn't it have been impossible if you couldn't handle household chores by yourself--? Watanuki: She also asked if I am bothered by relationships with others... Yuuko: In the Modern World, isn't it rare if you aren't bothered by your social relationships? Watanuki: ... -------------------------- Page 25 Yuuko: Treating others with sincerity...This is common sense, not advice! Yuuko: When you were asked if you had any other problems, Watanuki, were you thinking about your ability to see the supernatural? Watanuki: ...Yes. Yuuko: Do you remember what her suggestion was? Watanuki: She said "From the Heart"... -------------------------- Page 26 Yuuko: If you could prevent yourself from seeing the supernatural by will alone--- Wouldn't you have done it a long time ago? Yuuko: She never expected anything supernatural. She thought it was trouble in your love life, or anything related... Therefore, the words she said to you... Yuuko: Because that answer covers a lot... Watanuki: ...So in other words, that Fortune-teller... -------------------------- Page 27 Yuuko: She didn't detect Mokona, did she? Yuuko: If she had any Magical Power, she would have reacted to Mokona. Watanuki: ...Without supernatural power, can one become a Fortune-Teller? Yuuko: It's possible. There are those who study Fortune-Telling academically. That is still acceptable. Yuuko: However, she did her Fortune-Telling without reference to the information you provided. Yuuko: Thus, she broke the rule by pretending to have power. -------------------------- Page 28 Watanuki: The Fortune-Teller that you trust isn't of that kind? Yuuko: ...No. Yuuko: Let's look for that person! sfx: klack Yuuko: I want you to know what a real Fortune-Teller is like. --------------------------
