Nozomi #162: Fortune Comes to Those Who Smile
Kanan
I know I said fortune-telling is pretty hit-or-miss earlier, but your reading was actually right!
Nozomi
*Chuckle* Seems like it.
Kanan
You're amazing, Nozomi. I can't read fortunes at all. All I can do is get happy or worried over the fortunes they have on the morning news.
Kanan
Oh! This is the perfect chance for me to ask you something. What should I do if my fortune has something bad written in it?
Nozomi
So you're the type of person who keeps an eye on what their fortune says.
Kanan
Not all the time, but it does stick with me if it's really good or really bad.
Kanan
So? What should I do?
Nozomi
Hmm, well… You just pray for something good to happen!
Kanan
What?!
Kanan
Th-That's it?
Nozomi
Fate is decided by your feelings, so you control it and can change it as you please.
Nozomi
Good fortune naturally gathers to someone positive and full of smiles, whereas it's hard for good fortune to find those who always look depressed.
Nozomi
So thinking positively when a bad fortune comes your way will also make the bad luck pass.
Kanan
Huh, then what's the point of fortune-telling if always being positive will bless you with good luck?
Nozomi
*Chuckle* Fortunes only provide support. There may not be a point to it at all for those who don't need the extra help.
Kanan
I see! So you decide your own fate, then. That was a good lesson to learn. Thanks!
Nozomi
You're always so positive with a great smile on your face, so you've got nothing to worry about!
Kanan
Really?
Nozomi
If I ever see you looking glum, then I'll come up from behind you and give you a big bear hug to cheer you up, so you can rest at ease.
Kanan
That makes it kinda hard for me to rest at ease.
