dad: Today is the the worrrst~ Even though I look forward to this every morning...
dad(a): I didn't get to see my fortune, I forgot to set my alarm clock so now I'm late
dad(b): we were out of toilet paper... Not a single thing has gone right today!
saiki: Sounds like you don't need to see the result
sfx: siiigh

-p2-
1: Aren't you a Leo, Kusuo? Aren't you curious at all?
Mom: What place was I?
saiki: Not even in the slightest.

-p3-
saiki: I'm more concerned about the people who believe in that sort of no proof non-scientific nonsense.
1: Hey did you hear?

-p4-
1: There's this brand new “fortune teller's hut”!
Sfx: chatter chatter
2: Yeah! I heard! It's super accurate, right?

-p1-
Saiki: Give me a break... Each and every one of them are so willing to believe the words of a total stranger
teru: Did you go Chiyo!? How was it?
Chiyo: It was really great~! She told me I'd be able to completely break up with my old boyfriend and find a new one!!
teru: Wow! That's great

-p2-
1: Yo Takeru! Did you go to the Fortune Teller's? How'd it go?
take(a): Oh! It was right on the mark! That woman's the real deal
take(b): She said I'd be able to fix things up with Chiyo!
2: Nice!
saiki: And it's already contradicting itself

-p3-
saiki: Well, I guess that's because this sort of thing is more like a kind of life counseling
1: Hmph... ridiculous
saiki: ?

-p4-
kaido: Fortune telling is just a bunch of delusions made up by the fortune teller in order to sound important...
kaido: I mean, the truth is we're all just riding the rail of fate that was set by the gods...
saiki: suprisingly, I actually agree with you on this one
sfx: whoosh

-p5-
1: But there's something more important to talk about
sfx: chatter chatter
2: Today, I need you to come with me for a bit

-p6-
kaido: The atmosphere... You've noticed it too, haven't you Saiki?
kaido: It seems a weird ambiance is flowing through the town...
sfx: dooomm

-p7-
kaido: This strange aura disturbing the town, you could even call it disorder...
kaido: I've seen Dark Reunion in the shadows, pulling the strings. Let's take them out
saiki: That's just your made up delusion
sfx: doooom

nendou: Yo! Did you hear? There's a fortune teller store nearby...
saiki: The fortune teller's hut, right? I already heard

-p3-
Nendou: ...at the bookstore next door!
Nendou: It sounds like you an buy Jump there on Thursdays
saiki: What are you talking about?

-p1-
kiyo: She said that me and Satou Takeru are tied together by a red string of fate~♡
kiyo: and by next month, we'll have a fateful encounter and start going out!
1: Wow! That's amazing!
Saiki: She's a cruel person

-p2-
saiki: Well, I guess it's fine as long as they're enjoying themselves
saiki: but I should get going...

-p3-
saiki: Hm?

-p4-
saiki: What's this?

-p5-
saiki(a): Isn't that Kaidou...? What is he doing?
saiki(b): Just this morning we was calling it ridiculous...
1: No... This isn't...

-p6-
kaido: It's not like I'm interested in fortune telling or anything... It's just that, in the one in a million chance that they're a real clairvoyant, their existence could be extremely dangerous
sfx: hmph
kaido: There's a chance they might get targeted by Dark Reunion... just in case, I figured I should confirm things with my own eyes... that's really all there is to it... yeah
saiki: You don't need to make so many excuses to yourself

-p7-
saiki: Though I'm pretty sure these fortunes are mostly nonsense...
girl(a): Kyaaa~!
girl(b): She said I get to go out with Satou Takeru~
saiki: It sounds like Satou Takeru will be two timing
sfx: step step step

-p6-
1: Greetings, I am “Clairvoyance☆Mikiko”...
saiki: Just from hearing her name she already sounds fake
2: What troubles have brought you here before me today?
Sfx: woooo

Page 8

-p1-
Kaido(a): No...
kaido(b): Rather than troubles, I just...
kaido: Yeeaah... She seems kind of sketchy... I guess she is just a regular person...

-p2-
saiki: Hm, looks like even he's doubting her
saiki: Well, it's pretty obvious
1: Oh...?

-p3-
miki: You... What could it be...
miki: Your aura feels different from everyone else's...

-p4-
Kaido: Wha!?
1(a): I've been doing this job for a very long time, but this is the first time I've seen something like this...
1(b): You... You're no ordinary person...

-p5-
miki: You possess some sort of extraordinary power, unseen in humans...
miki: Or perhaps, there is the possibility that it has yet to awaken...

-p6-
1: Am I correct?
Kaido: Different from everyone else... Extraordinary...

-p7-
kaido: She's... the real deal!
kaido(a): Hmph... It seems
kaido(b): You're not just a regular person either...!
saiki: This guy is hopeless

Page 9

-p1-
saiki(a): You're just way too gullible...
saiki(b): Now that I think about it, something similar happened before too...
flashback: Wunjo!!
1: First you must write your name, date of birth, and blood type on this paper here
2: Okay!

-p2-
saiki: Because you reacted to her nonsense, now she has you all figured out
saiki: The fact that you're chuunibyou

-p3-
1: Heheheh...
sfx: smirk
saiki: Geez, give me a break...

-p4-
saiki: How could you fall for such a cheap trick
miki: Too easy~ Kids are such idiots, they're so easy to fool...
miki: I see... So your name is Kaidou Shun...
miki: This brat is definitely the chuunibyou type that gets all caught up in thinking they're special...
sfx: woooooo

-p5-
miki(a): You are... currently worried about a certain problem
miki(b): Am I correct?
Kaido: Yeah! How did you know!?
Saiki: Would someone without worries ever bother coming here?
miki: Fufu... Let me guess

-p6-
1: Yes... Could it be something related to love...?
2: ...no, I know this is not the case...

-p7-
1: worries about your future or your studies...
2: ...don't bother you either, of this I am sure...

-p8-
1: I see, worries about friends or your relationship with others...

Page 10

-p1-
miki: Yes! You are currently terribly worried about matters concerning friends or your relationship with others!!
sfx top: Tadaah
sfx: flinch
saiki: You're seriously way too gullible

-p2-
saiki: Your face is giving everything away
kaido: This... really is the real thing!!
sfx: dooooomm
saiki: Yeah, you really are a real idiot

-p3-
1(a): Yeah... That's right...
1(b): I am worried about that sort of thing

-p4-
kaido: Yes... Just as you said, I am different from everyone else...
kaido(a): I am an extraordinary being
kaido(b): You've probably already noticed, but...

-p5-
kaido: I have been living in another world as an assassin under the name the Jet Black Wing... but I was discovered by an evil organization who began targeting me and I was just barely able to make it to this world with my life
kaido: Currently, I am living under the borrowed form that is Kaido Shun, but the organization is still after me...Day and night, I must fight the members of the organization every single day, using the dark force which resides in my right arm...
sfx: mutter mutter mutter mutter

-p6-
1: but you already knew this without me telling you, didn't you...
miki: Yes...
miki: What the heck is this guy talking about...
saiki: I completely agree with that thought

-p7-
kaido: I'm used to the fighting.... but
sfx: tremble...
kaido: Sometimes I feel something, just for a split second...

Page 11

-p1-
kaido: That is... Loneliness...!
kaido: Yes, I don't have any frie...anyone that I could call a comrade...

-p2-
miki(a): …......Yeah
miki(b): He talked for a really long time but... basically...
saiki: His trouble is “I can't make any friends”...

-p3-
saiki: I feel like I've just seen something I shouldn't have...
1: What should I do...
2: Well of course you can't find any comrades

-p4-
1: Wha!?
2: You are the only one who is extraordinary. Everyone else around you are just regular people, citizens of this world...

-p5-
kaido: Th... Then I'll be alone my whole life!?
2: No, you are mistaken...

-p6-
miki: You've been searching for a person who can understand you, right?
Miki: But that won't work. First you must work hard to understand the other person

-p7-
1: Instead of trying to find another extraordinary person, you should try to make yourself compatible with normal people...
kaido: Make myself...

-p8-
saiki: …what do you know...
saiki: She actually gives good advice

-p3-
miki: Everything will be fine if you wear this necklace

sfx: doooomm

-p5-
miki(a): No, OVER 100 friends
miki(b): Even Satou Takeru will be your friend
kaido: E... Even Satou Takeru!?
Saiki: Satou Takeru was fresh in her mind, huh

-p6-
1: If you buy it now, I can give you this necklace for only 30,000 yen
kaido: Th.... 30,000!!?
sfx: shooock
saiki: what a load of bullshit
[tn: about $250 USD]

-p7-
kaido: I'll... I'll buy it...!

-p5-
kaido: Heheh... A mystic necklace...!

-p6-

1: Kaidou-kun!
2: Kaidou!

sfx: eek

-p4-
kaido: … so that means...
kaido: This is a fake...?

-p5-
kaido: I was tricked...
sign: foot massage
saiki: Getting your money back was a big favor on my part, you know

-p6-
saiki: It would be a big pain if you kept thinking that necklace had the power to bring us closer
saiki: Go make friends without relying on that sort of thing

-p7-
saiki: Now let's finally go home...
sfx: rustle

nendo: Ohh! Partner! Hey, isn't that the shrimp over there!
Saiki: Idiot
kaido: Huh!?

-p2-
kaido: What a coincidence, you fools!
Text: Nendou... Saiki... To think we'd meet in a place like this... coincidentally?

-p3-
text: Or could it be...
text: Thanks to the necklace...?

-p4-
nendou: Oh?
Text: I knew it, this necklace really is...
saiki: Everything is ruined now, thanks to you

-p5-
saiki: Man, today is not my lucky day
right bubble: Taurus
left bubble: Leo
saiki: Even though according to the horoscopes this morning I was supposed to be the luckiest...

-p6-
saiki: What a pain...

-p7-
saiki: You really can't trust fortune telling
1: A... Alright! Let's go get some ramen then!
