For example, a little girl selling flowers.
"My customers all say I'm very accurate." A9 smiled faintly and spoke as casually as if she were chatting normally.
"Then tell my fortune... just calculate my current situation." The man spoke offhandedly.
Their earlier conversation had been shielded with certain Transcendent artifacts. Even people from The Holy See would not have been able to learn of it without using their hidden reserves. Otherwise, how would they have dared come openly to a place like this to talk?
"Mm." The girl nodded naturally. "If I'm accurate, you'll have to pay. Of course, if you want to know highly confidential information, you'll need Purple Crystal Coins."
"Fine." The man sat down directly.

First, she placed two cards before them. The one on the left read "Good," while the one on the right read "Bad."
"The customer's current situation." The girl muttered this softly, though still loudly enough for everyone present to hear, before raising the Pendulum.
The crystal Pendulum began to sway, quickly drifting toward "Bad."
"First of all, I can confirm that, sir, you have either already encountered or are about to encounter something bad."
A9 lowered the Pendulum and spoke with a serious expression.
The middle-aged man looked up at the people beside him, then asked, "You mean my current situation is bad?"
"Mm, wait a moment. I'll continue the divination."
The girl said no more nonsense. She gathered the cards, then drew four from the pile beneath "Bad."
The four cards respectively read: Threat to Personal Safety, Financial Threat, Threat to Interpersonal Relationships, and Special Circumstances.
"What does the bad thing involve?"
After saying that, the Pendulum began to drift.
