Shin Yu-na, who was detonating bombs one after another, was sent back home.
There was no point in letting her sit in the house while she was so nervous, and now that I knew what had happened, I needed some time to think alone.
‘… ‘How should I accept this?’
In fact, it was still not hot in Shinyunagami.
From her identity that appeared out of nowhere.
A group of unknown evil whose existence is doubtful.
And other minor problems related to stones.
To be honest, the scale of the stories was too large to understand all at once.
‘I’m too busy minding my own business… .’
It was a time when I was wondering how to accept Shin Yuna’s claim.
“… … .”
Suddenly, I remembered the short prophecy she had told me just before leaving the house.
-Check Time Constraint stock price tomorrow at 4 o’clock. It will stop at exactly 57%.
She has predicted a surge in the stock price of a company famous for manufacturing elixirs.
It meant testing one’s ability to predict the future.
‘Are you that confident…? ?’
Even people who occasionally appeared in the news for manipulating stock prices did not have complete control over their stocks.
People’s madness is unpredictable. This is because it is literally an open market that anyone can jump into.
Based on that logic, it is inconceivable to accurately guess the results of any sport.
As she said, I decided to wait and see the results and then think about it.
‘Time constraints… . It was definitely this.’
The next morning.
I arrived late and laid down on the bed, turned on my phone and checked the company Shin Yuna had mentioned.
‘… I think it’s already risen a lot?’
However, the company she pointed out was a company that was already consistently hitting new highs.
‘Is this why it will skyrocket?’
I snorted, thinking it was no big deal, turned off the internet, and went out to buy groceries at a nearby supermarket.
“… Umm… ?”
And at 12 o’clock, around lunch time.
While I was looking at my phone while having a quick lunch, I inadvertently narrowed my eyes at an article that appeared on the screen.
[Time Pharmaceuticals, responsible for the future of hair loss people. ]
[Time Pharmaceuticals, new hair loss treatment passed phase 3… . The wig industry is in crisis. ]
The news that Time Pharmaceuticals, which Shin Yuna controlled, had developed a hair loss treatment that was so close to perfection that it could be sold immediately was becoming a hot topic.
‘crazy.’
At this point, it is obvious that Time Constraint’s stock price will skyrocket.
[ +31% ]
Funds from all over the world flocked to the domestic stock market and began producing astonishing numbers in a short period of time.
It was truly a historic sight.
‘W-It was real?’
As I watched in a daze as money was copied in real time, I thought that maybe Shin Yuna’s prophecy ability was true… .
‘… no. I do not know yet.’
I soon regained my composure and decided to watch a little longer.
The reason Time Pharmaceutical’s stock price rose is because of the clinical trial results.
To put it bluntly, I thought Shin Yuna might have heard the information somewhere.
[ +49% ]
Meanwhile, time-limited stocks were hitting new highs in real time and breaking the ceiling.
Finally, the long-awaited 4 o’clock.
‘Just try to make even a little mistake.’
As I was finishing up my household chores, I checked the stock price again at the time Shin Yuna had promised.
and… .
Knock knock. I went to the house next door and knocked on the door.
“Are you here?”
She opened the door wide as if she had been waiting and smiled brightly.
As I watched her face as if I knew it would happen, I let out a short sigh and spoke quietly.
“… Let’s talk again about what we talked about yesterday.”
As a result, Time Pharmaceutical’s stock price ended with a total increase of 57% compared to the previous day.
It was just as Shin Yuna had predicted.

Go back in time, around lunch.
At the Awakened Association headquarters.
“… … .”
Hallyeowon took a brisk step forward, giving off a sinister look.
She was now on her way to meet the president of the association.
“Sit down.”
Eventually, the location was moved to the association president’s office.
Lim Mi-yoon, who was busy working, did not even pay attention to Ryeo-won who entered the office and told her to sit down.
However, Ryeowon approached the desk without hesitation and fired back in an aggressive tone.
“How did this happen?”
It was about the Kang Yu-chan project leak.
“I’m sure you won’t get caught.”
Ryeo-won, who had been struck by lightning in the dry sky, looked as if she were going to kill someone at any moment.
The person in charge, Lim Mi-yoon, seemed indifferent.
“… You seem too excited. Let’s cool down and talk.”
“What?”
Glancing. Lim Mi-yoon shifted her gaze and made eye contact with Ryeo-won.
“It’s not something that can be solved by getting angry. So, just sit back and wait.”
Lim Mi-yoon, whose work had gone wrong, was once again making a new plan.
How can I appease Kang Yu-chan?
Among them, there was a way to bring in a completely new person, and there was also a way to recycle Hallyeowon, which had already lost trust.
That was the reason why I accepted Ryeowon’s request for an interview.
“Are you kidding me?”
But Ryeo-won, who had already lost everything, had no time.
A relationship built on trust for nearly 10 years collapsed in an instant.
It wasn’t even his fault, but for the absurd reason of an external leak.
However, the higher-ups who caused the problem were in a situation where they were forcing them to wait.
Of course, Ryowon was going crazy and jumping up and down.
“I’ve been waiting without saying anything for several days already. How long are we supposed to wait? Please tell me right away. What are your plans for the future?”
“… … .”
Lim Mi-yoon narrowed her eyes slightly at Ryeo-won’s actions of ignoring instructions and firing back in an aggressive tone. She lowered her voice and spoke.
“Han Ryeo-won. I think I’m misunderstanding something, but we’re on the same side. I and Han Ryeo-won are the same victims. If I come out like this now, it won’t do any good for Ryeo Won.”
“… So, are you saying I should just keep waiting?”
“If you move for no reason, it could lead to an even worse situation. This is all for Ryeo Won, so please be patient and wait.”
Lim Mi-yoon first tried to gently appease Ryeo-won and let her go.
Even if you throw it away in the future, it was a useful card for now.
“… … .”
But Ryeowon also knew it well.
They are consumables that can be discarded at any time when they become useless.
It was really over by then.
“… I can’t wait any longer, so I’ll stop here.”
“Ha… . Ms. Han Ryeo-won.”
Ryeo Won ignored the call, took out the resignation letter she had prepared in her pocket, and threw it on the desk as if to show off.
“I’m telling you because I feel like you’re mistaken, but I work for Yuchan, not the company.”
“… … .”
Ryeo-won left the office, leaving Lim Mi-yoon behind.
From now on, it was time to take care of your own food.
*
Unlike the previous day, Shin Yuna, wearing a large T-shirt and knee-length shorts, served green tea with floating ice.
It seemed like she wasn’t used to showing off her body.
“Do you believe it now?”
She smiled and subtly showed off her abilities.
I thought I would admit what I had to admit, so I nodded obediently.
“… I decided to trust it for now.”
“For now?”
“To be honest, I still have some doubts.”
“… ?”
She gives a strange reaction as if she doesn’t understand what’s going on.
Sigh. I looked away, sipped some cool tea, and mentioned her prophecy.
“… I heard that I asked that person to sleep with me.”
“!”
I don’t know anything else, but I couldn’t believe that they told me to sacrifice myself.
‘There are degrees of viewing people as trash.’
I’m not the type of person who goes out of my way to touch someone who isn’t my lover.
… At least for now.
“Excuse me, but I’m not that kind of person.”
“I hope so too, right?”
Of course, Shin Yuna also seemed to have a slightly unfair side.
I can’t go into detail because the future may change, but it felt like I had seen such a future once or twice.
It is truly an unfair situation for both sides.
‘… ‘What does being on the same side have to do with sleeping with you?’
Shin Yuna prophesied that we would join together and fight against an organization targeting stones.
Being on the same side means that we have built up quite a bit of friendship.
If you have built up that level of friendship, it doesn’t make any sense to form a relationship… .
I wouldn’t have slept with you just because we became close friends.
This means that there may be some special opportunity.
In short, she and I had been drinking.
“… Mr. Yuna. Would you like a drink?”
“… Why am I drinking alcohol all of a sudden? ?”
When the topic of alcohol is brought up, she looks startled and wary.
I quickly waved my hand and explained before she had another misunderstanding.
Let’s be careful with each other to prevent something like that from happening in the first place.
“It could have been because he was drinking alcohol.”
“Ah… .”
Only then did Shin Yuna understand what I meant and obediently lowered her guard and started talking.
“I have never drank alcohol.”
“No, not once… ?”
“Nothing to drink. I didn’t drink it just in case.”
She said she had never had a drink since she became an adult.
‘There’s no way I asked to do it because I was drunk.’
As expected, she didn’t seem to drink well.
“… Don’t keep drinking from now on. If you don’t want to be attacked.”
“… yes… .”
In addition, I asked various questions and tried to identify areas that could be problematic.
“What about your boyfriend?”
“Never once.”
Surprisingly, she said that the only time she had ever held a man’s hand was her father’s.
Even he passed away a long time ago.
Furthermore, she said that because she was homeschooled all the time, she didn’t even have the typical male friend.
‘What is this rare species?’
I really thought it was a rare type in this era… .
“Because I can see the future.”
As it turns out, she doesn’t avoid people at all.
“When I look at the people who sometimes talk to me, most of them have the same goal.”
She explained that she can read all futures connected to her.
To be precise, a large ‘junction point’.
It is said that she was able to accurately guess Time Pharmaceutical’s stock price through a connection she made by putting money in a Korean stock account.
“Ah. This means that when someone talks to Yuna, you can read what will happen with that person.”
“That’s roughly how it feels.”
Although it has some limitations, it is a very deceptive ability depending on how it is used… .
‘… huh? But how do you use your abilities?’
A small question suddenly came to mind.
Apparently, she claimed that she was born incapable of containing magic power in her body.
Usually, the awakened person’s abilities are usually used as fuel.
So how did she use her powers so far?
“Can I ask you something?”
“Sure.”
I asked her questions without hesitation.
“How do I use my abilities when I have no magic power?”
And I was startled by the answer I received.
“I am using my life.”
“… … What, what?”
“The longer you look into the future, the shorter your lifespan will be.”
“?!”
It was a price I never expected.
“Okay, then. Every time I use my ability… ?”
“I’m dying.”
“… !!!”
I was quite shocked and lost my mind.
They say that with great power comes great responsibility. It was just that pair.
“Uh, how much is left?”
“I have a general idea. I can’t tell you.”
“… her… .”
Suddenly, seeing her laughing so casually seemed amazing again.
What does it feel like to know when you will die?
It was something I could never have imagined.
Although she, the person involved, didn’t mind.
“It’s okay. It’s the future I chose.”
Fortunately, it is said that its efficiency has greatly improved since the Stone of Time was implanted in its body.
… Nevertheless, the same thing happened that life expectancy was shortened.
“… Umm… .”
It was a moment when I was lost in untimely worry after hearing Shin Yuna’s story.
As she was quietly sipping tea, she asked me vaguely.
“Do you keep talking only about me?”
“Yes?”
“Tell me about that too.”
“…Ah.”
Now that I think about it, it seems like I was the only one who kept asking questions.
“Do you have any questions?”
“It’s quite a lot, is it okay?”
“Ask as much as you want.”
“Then….”
That was when I tried to change the topic and talk about myself.
Ding dong. Ding dong.
The doorbell rang softly in the house.
Not at Shin Yuna’s house where I’m sitting right now, but right next door.
“Huh?”
“I think it’s your house?”
It was our house.
‘Who is it?’
After briefly apologizing, I quickly got up and went out into the hallway.
Ding dong. Ding dong.
“Wait a minute!”
and.
“Who is it… .”
Before long, the identity of the customer was confirmed.
“… Huh?”
“… ?”
It was Hallyeowon.
