Chapter 17: Did you clean your neck well? (1)

Translator: miraclerifle

There are different types of artifacts. Most of them are helpful to humans, but there is probably no ability people desire more than the ability to prophesize the future.

This was the reason anybody who used an artifact with the prophecy ability had received great treatment.

‘The Future Diary is one of those artifacts.’

However, the Future Diary user could not get in the good graces of the monopolizers.

Why?

Because the Future Diary user was an idiot. In addition, the Future Diary that was a S-Grade(Hero-grade) artifact had a critical weakness.

Maybe that was the reason. It was true that Japan benefited greatly from the Future Diary at first, but the Future Diary user was assassinated by a different seer in the future.

That seer would go on to become a monopolizer and make his name as the < Monarch of Fate >. [1]

That was why he had not paid much attention to her. She would end up dying anyway.

However.

‘Things are different if the situation is going to be like this.’

It didn’t matter whatever that idiot did, but it was a problem if he ended up being negatively impacted because of her.

It was quite a terrible feeling to have someone read your every action and movement.

Because of that...

‘Let’s take care of the Future Diary now.’

There was no reason not to take care of something that was getting in your way.

There was also another reason he needed to take care of her now.

‘Chairman Kwon is tied to the Future Diary.’

According to the information from Abe, the TKBM Group was involved in the Future Diary research.

That was Chairman Kwon's company. Of course, it wasn't weird that Chairman Kwon was working with Japan. The Chairman Kwon in the past had been close with Japan as well. However, Ju-Heon did not know that he had been connected to the Future Diary early on.

This was because Ju-Heon had not gotten involved with Chairman Kwon until he was already a monopolizer.

‘You son of a bitch. You must have used the Future Diary to gather up a bunch of artifacts early on.’

So, this would be great.

He would hinder Chairman Kwon’s path.

Ju-Heon packed his bag and headed out to the living room. It was a 20 pyeong small villa. [2] The digital clock on the wall said it was 9am.

Clunk.

His roommate Kim Dong Hyun came out yawning from the other room as Ju-Heon opened the front door.

“Where are you going so early in the morning when you said you quit your job?”

“Ah, I have something I need to do.”

“Are you going to eat dinner at home?”

“Yeah, I’ll be home by dinner.”

“I guess you have lunch plans. Is it a woman? Where are you eating??

“Hmm, Japan? Shinjuku has a killer lunch menu.”

“Ah, yeah, Japan's Shinjuku is great .........enjoy your meal......?”

However, his friend questioned what he heard a moment later.

“Wait a minute, Japan?! Shinjuku? The country next to ours?”

He completely woke up from the shock.

“Hey! You are going to get on a plane to go eat lunch?!”

Unfortunately, Ju-Heon was already gone.

“Kyaaaa!”

Sasaki Yuka, the Future Diary user.

Sasaki who was in her third year of middle school this year almost fainted and died from shock while reading the old book. It was because of what she read in this old book that smelled of mold.

“Ay, damn it, what the hell?!”

Words continued to appear on the old book she threw in shock.

She didn’t know the contents.

The words appearing in the book were in old Hanja that was not used much anymore, and even the writing style was different than modern text.

There was no way that someone like Sasaki who preferred to write even her own name in Katakana rather than Hanja would be able to read such ancient text.

‘But I can still tell what it said this time’

That was the case. No matter how stupid she was, there was no way she wouldn’t know the 死 character.

Furthermore, how could she not be scared when that phrase appeared over and over on that page and the pages after it?!
