    "Over there, enemy soldiers spotted!"

    A soldier''s cry reached me as I performed a hasty ritual at a temporary shrine built in an area that could serve for such a purpose. I had just been pretending to conduct the rites, not truly involved in the process.

    ‘Is this the vanguard meant to serve as bait?’@@@@

    ‘Phew.’

    I let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

    Every time, even when I’m making what seems like a ‘guaranteed accurate prediction,’ I can’t feel at ease until I see the results with my own eyes.

    Whether it’s correct or not, I can only know by opening the lid and checking.
