Omikuji (おみくじ) or Fortune Slip is where players can test their fortune by providing 1Fortune Slip Voucher that can be obtained from the Exchange Shop using Event Points. There are 6 types of fortunes that can appear.

凶 is normally Misfortune or Bad luck, but the event decides to use Curse for a more comedic effect.

• Curse (凶)
• Future Blessing (末吉)
• Small Blessing (小吉)
• Modest Blessing (中吉)
• Blessing (吉)
• Great Blessing (大吉).

If you're bored, test out your luck and draw some slips at Junby. (Don't take it too seriously. The result may or may not contain several errors.)

List of Omikuji Fortune Lines
Curse	Today's Grocery List: 1 can of cream stew, 250g of chicken, 2 potatoes, 3 onions, 1 carrot, 1 bunch of broccoli, 1 bottle of citron vinegar...
	You have to be careful to avoid food poisoning! I've never had it before though. Anyway, how about some chocolate sea cucumber juice?
	There's no surefire way to recover crushed ingredients. You'll have to boil them and then grind them in a blender to make soup.
	I was carrying food, but I fell and spilled it... At least I found a coin right where I fell.
Future Blessing	The Future Blessing fortune! Even if you lose now, you'll gain later... Hmm. I wanna eat something, like dango...
	Let's see... Future Blessing! I'll give you the mint octopus pudding I made as a prize!
	Undercooked food isn't too bad since you can always cook it for longer. Overcooked, burnt food is the real problem.
	The person who gets this fortune will be lucky...but also suffer. Like finding gold after digging up an entire mountain. Heeheehee. Well, a gourmand's journey is bound to be seasoned by hardship.
	Future Blessing is a sign that you'll become lucky later. Who knows what the future will bring?
	Happy news will come in the fall and winter. That's now! Not so lucky in the spring and summer, though...
Small Blessing	The Small Blessing! You'll easily overcome a looming crisis. If you remain on an even path, you'll be at peace... Hmm, I think this is good!
	This is the Small Blessing. It's said that happiness really comes from the small things. Like the rain may stop as soon as you step outside!
	The fortune this time is the Small Blessing! Even if you get confused boarding the subway, you'll get onto the right one!
	They say you need to look to the stars to chart your course. Not the lights on all the passing ships.
	May good luck come from hidden encounters. Look forward to opening your eyes... Does this mean my cooking skills will improve?
	Let's collect the ingredients one by one until the meal can be made!
Modest Blessing	Love - Eye contact with the person you like Encounter - Meet that person at a festival on the weekend Date - Go watch fireworks together
	Your fortune is the Modest Blessing. Congrats. Sometimes I wish I could eat until I was so full, that I couldn't eat anymore.
	The moon is bright and clear, with no place for dark clouds... Lunch would be even more delicious under the moonlight. Heeheehee.
	If food is the most important necessity of life, luck is a close second. It's the Modest Blessing. Congratulations.
	Something will turn into happiness. One arrow will hit two geese... I wonder if roasted goose is good.
	You'll survive at the crossroads of life and death. The journey may be difficult, but the destination is auspicious. Eat delicious food in the New Year. That's nice to hear!
Blessing	You'll meet - The person you're waiting for Happiness - Will come Help someone if they're feeling vulnerable
	With this fortune, you'll advance if you have the right mindset. With a bad outlook, though, things won't go well.
	There's nothing more gratifying than everyone enjoying the food I make. May you always be lucky this year!
	Sensei. It's the Blessing fortune. A single arrow flies across the blue sky, and a deer travels a thousand miles alone... Won't this deer get hungry, though?
	With this fortune, you're like a flower blooming on an old tree. From now on, much joy will come... For me, I hope that I'll have at least one peaceful day...
	For those with good fortune I've made osechi, which is said to be full of blessings for the New Year. Have some before you go!
Great Blessing	Encounter - Under the legendary tree Move - Will be better than now Food - Eat as much as you want on the main street
	Wow, the Great Blessing. Heeheehee. I wonder what kind of gourmet food is waiting for us this year.
	In the spring of the willow, flowers bloom on old branches. In the heavy frost and snow, a golden sheen shines even brighter.
	Fortune comes like a wave, and turns into a full box of osechi and well-cooked snapper... I especially like the latter!
	You got the Great Blessing. Congrats. I guarantee special news will come. Watch out for imitations.
	A gem without a single flaw. Keep polishing it and you'll be even luckier... Yes, I'm gonna devote myself to cooking even more!

Stage Info

• Best bonus is saved per-item, so you can re-run the stage manually several times optimizing teams for maximum bonus for each item.

Gimmick/Tips

• Challenge 1: This stage will have you running back and forth, killing a lot of enemies, so having an AoE unit is advised. The mob dies very easily, so any big AoE unit like Cherino is incredibly good.
• Challange 3: There are a lot of Yellow armor enemies spawning, so an AoE unit like Cherino is incredibly good at reaching the Boss area fast. After getting to the boss, killing it will instantly end the stage.
• Challenge 5: It's mainly just a DPS check stage without much gimmickry. Hoshino (Swimsuit) is important if you want an easier clear. You can also just use an additional tank if it's too hard to keep Hoshino (Swimsuit) alive.
