Starting With The Sefirah Castle In The Anime World

Half a month had passed since the birthday party.

The time had reached the morning of April 19th. Today was Saturday morning, a day off.

Today was also the 60th anniversary of the Suzuki conglomerate.

This time, the 60th anniversary celebration of the Suzuki conglomerate would be held on a cruise ship. Everything had already been prepared, and the schedule was set for the evening. They would board the ship at Yokohama Port, and the cruise ship would travel toward Tokyo Port over time.

During this period, the entire interior of the cruise ship would be like a massive sealed room.

The Metropolitan Police Department had also made corresponding preparations. After all, the 60th anniversary of the Suzuki conglomerate could not be canceled at the last minute.

If it was canceled, wouldn't that mean the solution the police had been working on was a compromise?

Could the police compromise now?

Obviously, the police, who had just managed to build up a bit of credibility in the eyes of the public, were not willing to suffer such a loss. So, even if the Suzuki conglomerate chose to compromise this time, the police would absolutely refuse to do so.

"Being stubborn like this will easily lead to trouble."

Looking at the news reports, Ren only shook his head slightly.

Then he used astrology to predict today's fortune.

"Well, today's fortune looks stable as usual."

"Hm?"

The fortune appeared stable, but accidents could still happen.

Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling came over him, and he quickly realized what it was.

"Divination."

The corners of Ren's mouth lifted slightly. He already knew who was behind this divination attempt.

"You're in such a hurry, but it's useless."

No matter how desperate the person behind the scenes was, a divination aimed at him would have no effect at all.

The ability of an Astrologer to interfere with divination was no joke. As long as he made slight adjustments to the result, all divinations performed on him would become ineffective.

Of course, Ren would not teach the person behind the scenes a lesson.

After all, in a world without the supernatural, if a mysterious individual sensed something unusual, wouldn't that also mean he himself was a mystery?

Rather than exposing himself before the mysterious, it was better to make the mysterious doubt their own suspicions.

Sure enough, Ren's actions also affected the witch who was fortune-telling in another city, trying to confirm her ominous premonition.

"???"

Koizumi Akako, dressed in her witch's attire, stared at the crystal ball in astonishment. It showed almost no reaction.

"Why is there no reaction?"

She knew that Kuroba Kaito would take action today at the Suzuki conglomerate's anniversary, but for some reason, when she tried to divine Kuroba Kaito's actions this time, the result she obtained was the reversed world.

This was not a good sign. It clearly indicated that something had gone wrong for Kuroba Kaito during this operation.

Faced with this situation, she almost subconsciously tried to divine the cause of Kuroba Kaito's failure, but the result was that the crystal ball did not react at all.

Just as Koizumi Akako was puzzled, the crystal ball reacted again.

"Hm?"

The only person Koizumi Akako could see in the crystal ball was Kuroba Kaito. There were no other clues, no other information, only Kuroba Kaito.

"He had problems himself and got caught?"

This guess made Koizumi Akako almost instinctively suspect there was something wrong with her divination.

But thinking it through, as the heir to Red Magic, she had never encountered any problem in all her countless divinations in the past. Could there really be an issue this time?

"No, there is absolutely no problem on my end."

As the successor of Red Magic, Koizumi Akako still had absolute confidence in her field of expertise.

She had never made a mistake in any of her past divinations, not even in the one where she confirmed that Kuroba Kaito could not be charmed by her.

The reason for Kuroba Kaito's failure in this operation could not be due to any issue with her divination.

An idea suddenly flashed in Koizumi Akako's mind.

Could it be that this was truly Kaito's own problem?

With that thought in mind, Koizumi Akako quickly tried to divine Kuroba Kaito's fortune.

The result she obtained confirmed her guess.

Death, demons, and the reversed world.

All of them were the worst omens.

This result made Koizumi fall into deep thought.

"Is this guy's luck really that terrible today?"

Judging from the divination results, Koizumi Akako could even tell that Kuroba Kaito was in danger of being caught today.

This was the first time Koizumi Akako had ever encountered such a string of bad luck.

"Could it be that this guy's failure will be caused by today's bad luck?"

Thinking this, she once again entered a state of divination.

"Was Kuroba Kaito's failure today due to luck?"

This time, the crystal ball did not change, but it gave the most straightforward answer.

Yes!

"...Seriously."

Koizumi Akako's face twitched slightly. She certainly knew that luck could affect a person's performance on a given day, but never before had a divination indicated such a severe impact. At most, luck only caused a slight influence.

But judging from the divination results, Kuroba Kaito's failure this time would be due entirely to bad luck.

Koizumi Akako thought for a moment, then called Kuroba Kaito.

"Your luck today is very bad."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Koizumi Akako got straight to the point.

"Huh?"

After picking up the phone, Kuroba Kaito looked at it speechlessly, then leaned closer again.

"Koizumi, did something serious happen in your divination?"

"There is nothing wrong with my divination. You know the reason."

"..."

Well, at least Kuroba Kaito believed that much.

Koizumi was eccentric, but her fortune-telling had never been wrong. At least, most of her fortune-tellings had always been accurate.

"So, what?"

"Give up."

"Impossible."

When he heard Koizumi's suggestion, Kuroba Kaito immediately rejected it.

It was absolutely impossible for him to give up. He would never let go of any gem that might be Pandora.

Moreover, the notice had already been sent, so at this point, giving up was nearly impossible.

Once you embark on this path, there is no turning back unless Pandora is truly found.

"You don't care about getting caught and having your identity exposed?"

"I care. That's why I won't fail."

"You… you idiot! The result of my divination has already doomed you to failure! Even knowing this, you still plan to rush in?"

Listening to Koizumi's exasperated voice, Kuroba Kaito already knew her answer.

"Well, even knowing I might fail, I still cannot stop."

After saying that, Kuroba Kaito hung up the phone.

Koizumi Akako, holding the phone on the other end, became more and more furious as she heard the long tone.

"Unreasonable idiot!!!"
