TAROT CARDS

Notably, he was wearing an old goat-shaped black hat with a Christian cross on it, but instead of a crucifixion scene, there was a skeleton. The room was dimly lit, and we could not see clearly beyond the area we had entered. There was only one well-lit area, a table with cards and a glass ball in the center, and the tablecloth was torn to the side, revealing a purple and yellow gold-colored, old-fashioned fabric.

As the old man was being polite to my girlfriend, he continued to observe her. As she thanked him for his kindness, he did the same and opened the chair for me to sit. I settled into the chair, which had an old-fashioned wooden back and a comfortable seat. The bottom of the chair was reddish-colored. All of us had the same chair, which was old-fashioned. As the old man settled into his seat, he asked, "So, tell me, young ones, what can I do for your young ones?" with a creepy smile that revealed a broken front tooth.

"Well, we would like for you to read our future, sir, as you are familiar with your own," Ayu replied with a smile.

"Hmmm, I see. Well, tell me, young ones, are you two in a relationship? I can sense it," the old man inquired.

"Yes, we are in a relationship," I responded.

"And we would like for you to read our future, sir. I am eager to see what the future holds," Ayu expressed her excitement. 

"Indeed, young ones, let us discern the path that lies ahead for you." As the elderly man shuffled the cards, preparing to select and interpret them, he began to deal with them.

"Hmm, let us begin with you, young lady. Ah, I see you have the Nine of Swords, indicating that you are struggling to control your anxiety." The old man expressed concern.

"But I am doing well, nothing amiss," Ayu replied with a smile.

"I am uncertain, my dear. Something is troubling you, preventing you from sleeping at night and causing your anxiety to rise. You may be apprehensive about an impending negative event." The old man revealed the card to Ayu and began to chuckle. He then coughed on the other side.

"The Devil, an intriguing card indeed. This suggests that someone is attempting to manipulate you, perhaps someone you know, whether male or female. They seek to influence you until you accept them."

"Are you referring to my boyfriend, sir?" Ayu asked, her face filled with worry. She directly addressed the old man, awaiting his response.

"No, my dear, someone else. It could be a friend, a family member, or even someone you do not know." The old man smiled. However, Ayu remained skeptical and continued to listen. The old man picked another card.

"A Three of Cups and the Tower implies that someone may break a promise or experience a negative outcome." The old man laughed heartily, and Ayu found his behavior unsettling.

"These are the final cards for today, young ones." As the old man picked up the last card, it fell to the floor. He retrieved it and began to smile and laugh in an eerie manner.

"Yes, my favorite card! It is Death!" he exclaimed, showing it to us.

"What does it signify?" I asked, my anxiety growing.

"It foretells the potential end of a relationship, suggesting that someone may break it." The old man laughed again, followed by a cough.

"I must express my discomfort with this situation. Is there a way to prevent it, sir?" Ayu asked, visibly nervous.

"There is a potential solution, but it may not be effective in the future. It involves taking certain precautions to avoid encountering the dark side of the road."

The old man explained that he was getting up to look for something. We were looking at him to see what he was going to do next. Then he looked at, I guess, his book collection, looking at them one by one.

"AHA! There it is!" The old man has already found what he was looking for. Then he suddenly grabs the book and comes to us as he gets on his chair to take a seat.

"This would solve your problems with this book, just as I read some words of the sentence of this book." Says the old man with his creepy smile. As the old man put the book on the front of his table, this dark medium leather black in the middle had a star and the side had a belt, looked like a dark grimoire but who knows.

"What is this book" I wanted to touch the book. But the old man slaps my hand not too hard.

"Never, ever in your life touch this book, do you understand me…" he stared at me as he had that white eye he had as it was twitching, with sweat on his face, he kinda looks nervous as I looked at him but it was kinda weird and creepy. The thing is he didn't tell us anything about the book what it does and all, but it doesn't matter I mean after all, this is just part of his job strategy and it's just an act. No need to worry about what all of this is.
