Asahina Nazuna would not have been this surprised if the score had come out higher or lower.
But why did it have to be ninety-five?
Oh no, oh no, this fortune teller might actually know her stuff.
No, wait, I actually got it right!
Thinking she had not heard clearly, the Fortune Teller explained again, "Out of a possible hundred, your compatibility is ninety-five. That is already an excellent result."
"In other words, there is a ninety-five percent chance that the two of you will end up together."
Kitagawa Kai listened in bewilderment.
Huh?
Since when did fortune-telling involve probabilities? Was this scientific?
He turned toward his upperclassman, whose reaction had been unusually strong. "What's wrong, Nazuna? Aren't you happy we got such a high score?"
"Of course I'm happy. I just didn't expect it to be the same as the score I got last time."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Asahina Nazuna regretted them.
Kitagawa Kai raised an eyebrow. "Last time? Didn't you tell me it was eighty?"
He could not help laughing. "I knew it couldn't possibly be that low. So you secretly docked me a whole fifteen points."
"Listen, let me explain."
Asahina Nazuna quickly grabbed his sleeve. "I thought I hadn't learned enough yet and my result might not be accurate, so I gave you a more conservative figure."
"So conservative you even kept me in the dark?"
"You were already so smug about eighty. If I'd told you it was ninety-five, who knows how much you would've teased me?"
The old woman lifted her hot tea and took a sip, watching the young couple's playful banter with a kindly gaze.
How lovely.
Young love could make even these trivial little things so much fun to talk about.
*This was a pleasant way
