As they stepped out of the apartment building, the last rays of the setting sun bathed the three of them.
This delay meant that it was already evening.
As the sun sets and night falls, the hustle and bustle of the city seems to subside with the darkness.
"Nan, Aunt Jinghua, I won't go with you for now. I need to keep an eye on Dad."
Ran was worried about leaving Kogoro Mouri alone at the scene, so she talked with the two of them downstairs for a while before running back to keep an eye on things.
After she left, Ikeba Shizuka turned her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Yuzuru Nan's handsome face, just watching silently without saying a word.
Yu Shengnan felt a little flustered. After a while, he realized that he was still holding his master's hand. He quickly pretended that he had just realized it and hurriedly let go of her hand.
Seeing this, Ikeba Shizuka pursed her lips slightly, but then she saw the reluctant expression on Yuzuru Hanyu's face, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
"Cough cough~"
Yuzuru cleared his throat and, in an attempt to ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere, took the initiative to say, "Master, I can actually read palms. Would you like your disciple to take a look?"
Ikeba Shizuka remained silent, a faint smile on her face, as she raised her left hand, wanting to see what kind of nonsense her clumsy apprentice could come up with.
Yuzuru looked mysterious, pretending to be a charlatan, and solemnly counted on his fingers, muttering, "Men left, women right, right hand..."
This is where we have to thank memory bread.
Although he doesn't actually tell fortunes, when he first came to this world, out of curiosity and because he only had the Memory Bread as an item, he printed and ate a lot of random books.
This includes some books about fortune telling.
With just theoretical knowledge, one could easily become a semi-divine being like Yuzuru Hanyu.
Following Hanyu Nan's instructions, Ikenami Shizuka slowly lowered her raised left hand and then obediently extended her right hand.
Upon seeing this, Yuzuru immediately put on the air of a professional master and gently pinched Ikebashi Shizuka's right hand.
He would tilt his head to look to the left for a while, then turn his head to look to the right, sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes showing a thoughtful expression.
And so, they turned Ikeba Shizuka's hand over and over, fiddling with it for quite a while, until it was almost red from playing with it.
Finally, just as Ikeba Shizuka was getting impatient, Hanyu Nan suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream, slapped his thigh, and shouted, "Ah, sorry, I made a mistake! If a woman is over 35, she should look at her left hand!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Bo Jinghua raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of reproach flashing in her beautiful eyes.
However, she still did as she was told and extended her left hand again.
This time, Yuzuru examined it carefully. "Master, your fingers are like bamboo shoots, straight and fleshy, without exposed bones. They are long and beautiful overall, with fleshy and rounded knuckles. Your money line is deep, straight, and strong, indicating a life of great wealth and honor. Your wisdom line..."
As he looked at it, Yu Sheng Nan frowned under Ikeba Shizuka's gaze, and said with a serious expression, "Master, why is there such a clear intersection between your wisdom line and heart line? This is not a good palm reading..."
Ikeba Shizuka immediately became interested, and with a faint smile on her face, she asked, "Oh? So what exactly are the disadvantages? Why don't you tell me?"
Yu Shengnan gently shook his head and explained, "Generally speaking, if a person's wisdom line and heart line intersect, it often means that this person may have some trouble in thinking about problems and dealing with emotions, and find it difficult to clearly distinguish between the two. In other words, their thoughts are easily disturbed by emotional factors, and emotions may also affect their rational judgment."
Before he could finish speaking and before Ikeba Shizuka could respond, Yu Shengnan continued, "Master, could you please tell me your birth date and time? Actually, besides studying palmistry, I also know a little about the Eight Characters of Destiny."
Faced with her apprentice's request, Ikeba Shizuka appeared quite composed, nodding with interest before recounting her birth date and time in detail.
After obtaining the birth date and time, Yu Shengnan immediately began to count on his fingers, muttering incantations, looking mysterious and unpredictable.
After a while, he stopped and gave a serious comment: "For a woman, the presence of the Hurting Officer star in the month pillar indicates that old loves are easy to part with but difficult to rekindle."
"What does this mean?" Ikeba Shizuka's smile faded, her expression turned serious, and she took the initiative to ask.
Yu Shengnan appeared extremely hesitant and reluctant to speak. After a long while, she finally opened her mouth slowly under Yu Shengnan's persistent insistence: "Your destiny is marked by the Hurting Officer star, making you easily hurt emotionally. Your current relationship is like a candle in the wind, difficult to sustain. You should sever ties with your old relationship and wait for a new one to arrive before you can find peace."
After saying that, he added, "Master, please don't take it seriously. My skills are not good enough, and I'm just talking nonsense."
After hearing this, Ikeba Shizuka stood there, falling into a long and deep silence.
This comment reminded her of her first fortune-telling experience a few months ago, at the most efficacious Namba Hotei Shrine in Osaka.
It was there that she first met her somewhat clumsy apprentice.
At the time, she thought the fortune slip she received was absurd and laughable, but now, looking back, it seems that everything was preordained.
The flowers fall helplessly, but the swallows return as if we've met before.
