“Talking of which, I heard that should you fall down this specific hill, you’ll die inside three years.”

Tenka began to say such a factor fortunately whereas they have been going up the steps.　

She loved speaking about these sorts of curses and the occult.

Then again, there have been those that disliked these sorts of matters.

“Eh? W-what is that…?”

Arisa’s face turned blue.

As if she was actually scared, she clung tightly to Yuzuru’s arm as if to make sure that she would by no means fall down.

…then again, Yuzuru was extra prone to fall down.

“Hm?　I’ve heard of that. I believe I’ve learn it in some form of image e book…”

Hijiri tilted his head curiously.

Properly, Yuzuru actually thought he had heard a phrase like “you’ll be able to solely dwell for 3 years” someplace.

And that was…

“Isn’t that the Three-Yr Cross?”  (TN: Sannen Toge)

Soichiro mentioned so, and HIjiri replied loudly, “That’s it!“.

Yuzuru additionally recalled.

When he was in elementary college, he remembered studying about it in a Japanese textbook.

“…I do know it too. I couldn’t sleep at night time due to it.”

“Wha…”

Yuzuru was unintentionally baffled by Arisa, whose face turned blue.

Positive, the primary half of the story was scary and scary, however in the long run, nonetheless, it ought to have had a cheerful ending.

At the very least it wasn’t so scary that one couldn’t sleep at night time.

“However I don’t assume it was about Kiyomizu-Dera Temple, although…?”

It was Ayaka who answered Arisa’s query.

“The Three Yr Cross is a Korean folks story. However there’s a legend that should you do one thing 3 times, you’ll be cursed, not solely in Kiyomizu-dera however in all places… Possibly a hill close to you is like that, too?”

Ayaka mentioned to Arisa with a sly grin on her face.

Then Arisa trembled and muttered,

“…I’m going to keep away from hills any longer.”

Apparently, the ‘Three-Yr-Cross’ was a traumatic and scary story for Arisa.

(I ponder what would occur if I confirmed her one thing like “the image that can kill you should you have a look at it 3 times” that’s all around the web…)

Though he was very involved, he determined to not present it to Arisa in a prank sense, as a result of she may actually die.

“There isn’t any such factor as a curse. In any other case, the Takasegawa household would have already been destroyed.”

Chiharu mentioned fortunately.

Listening to these phrases, Arisa seemed up at Yuzuru with a blue face.

“…As soon as upon a time, the complete Takasegawa household was struck with a curse.”

“D-does that imply… I’m additionally topic to the curse?”

“Who is aware of… maybe the individuals who put the curse on know extra about it?”

Yuzuru checked out Chiharu as he mentioned this.

Chiharu gave a small cowering look.

“I do not know. It was not me who forged it, however my ancestors. Properly, but when you concentrate on it, I believe you’re a goal as nicely.”

Chiharu mentioned to Arisa with a smirk on her face.

Arisa seems anxious.

“I-I… don’t wish to die, ? Can’t you do one thing about it?”

“Even should you ask me, …the one who forged it, is lifeless. Properly, as you’ll be able to see, Yuzuru-san is alive and nicely, and the Takasegawa household is prospering, so there is no such thing as a impact.”

“Ultimately, I believe the curse is simply an thought. Since you care about it, you’re feeling such as you’re getting sick. That’s why… Arisa shouldn’t fear an excessive amount of both.”

Yuzuru’s and Chiharu’s phrases appeared to reassure Arisa just a little.

Talking of Kiyomizu-dera Temple…

There may be the well-known “Kiyomizu-no-butai” (stage of Kiyomizu) the place one can “bounce off the stage of Kiyomizu.”

One other well-known spot was…

“Koi-omikuji, will it come true…?” (TN: Romance fortune)

Tenka requested, skeptical.

Jishu Shrine, situated on the grounds of Kiyomizu-Dera Temple, enshrined the god of marriage and is known for its ‘Koi-omikuji‘ lottery.

“It’s reputed to be very correct… Apparently”

Hijiri answered whereas taking a look at his cellphone.

Chiharu gave a small shrug in response.

The curse, the fortune-telling, it’s all only a product of creativeness… or so she appeared to suggest.

The rationale why she didn’t really say it out loud was in all probability that it was a shrine outdoors of her neighborhood.

“Within the case of me and Arisa, there’s no want to attract the fortune.”

“We’re already lovers and engaged to be married in spite of everything.”

Yuzuru’s phrases have been answered by Arisa with a smile on her face.

Ayaka grinned at these two.

“Oh no… I don’t learn about that. Possibly it should inform us one thing in regards to the two of you any longer?”

“I imply, you guys have had some silly fights currently. Possibly you must draw one?”

Yuzuru and Arisa couldn’t assist however look miffed.

As a result of it sounded as if the 2 of them may have one other struggle.

However they couldn’t say that will by no means occur.

“Properly, Omikuji is extra like recommendation from God than a type of fortune-telling. It doesn’t harm to attract one, does it?　…although it normally has bland content material.”

At Chiharu’s such phrases… Yuzuru and Arisa checked out one another and nodded.

It might be good to a minimum of strive drawing one, they agreed.

Thus, every of the seven drew a koi-omikuji.

The outcomes have been…

“Oh, it’s a superb blessing …” (TN: Kichi)

“Ara, it’s a superb blessing …”

The 2 who shouted with just a little bit of pleasure have been Hijiri and Tenka.

It is probably not an amazing fortune, nevertheless it was not a foul consequence.

“Ooh, it’s an amazing blessing! Properly, I assume it’s due to my good each day conduct.”

Then again, it was Chiharu who sounded the happiest.

For somebody who doesn’t consider in fortune-telling and curses…, she appeared blissful.

She solely appeared to consider in them when the outcomes have been good.

“Future blessing huh… I want I had gotten an amazing blessing or huge dangerous fortune…” 

“Mmm, small blessing… a minimum of it must be extra  than a superb blessing or lower than a foul fortune for me to have a response.”

Ayaka and Soichiro each smiled bitterly.

They didn’t appear to consider in fortune-telling.

It was in all probability only a subject of dialog.

And…

“F-future blessing…”

“…I even have future blessing.” 

Yuzuru and Arisa scrunched up their expressions.

The consequence was not very flattering.

It is probably not as dangerous because it might be as a result of it was not a foul blessing…

“Chiharu-san, how can we learn future blessings?”

Arisa requested Chiharu with a fearful expression.

Chiharu answered whereas peering at the results of Arisa’s fortune.

“Umm, I assume it’s dangerous now, however it should get higher later, proper?　Properly, if it’s going to get higher later, then I assume you could possibly say it’s typically good, proper?”

“I-I see…”

Regardless of Chiharu’s encouragement, Arisa remained with a depressed expression on her face.

In any case, Arisa was in all probability the kind of one that could be involved about this sort of fortune-telling and fortune…, particularly about dangerous outcomes.

“We should always tie up the dangerous outcomes, proper?”

“Sure, that’s proper. I imply, Yuzuru-san… you care about that form of factor?”

“Eh? Ah… nicely, considerably, I assume?”

In response to Chiharu’s shocked query, Yuzuru gave an ambiguous smile.

In truth, the Takasegawa household locations a specific amount of significance on things like needs, whether or not they consider in them or not.

“Maybe you two are feeling dangerous for the time being?” (TN: Chiharu is speaking about their relationship)

“Eh? No method…”

“No, in fact not.”

When Chiharu requested, each Yuzuru and Arisa rushed to disclaim it.

Chiharu, maybe realizing one thing of their reactions, smiled bitterly.

“This stuff are written for nearly everybody. You shouldn’t thoughts it that a lot.”

The 2 each smiled vaguely.
