Chapter Text
Its Friday, 3rd january, 1782. Rui is studying at his tutors house, the tutor his father assigned him. Soon enough, the sun starts to set and he says goodbye to his tutor before leaving his tutor's home.
Rui walked home. He unlocked the door and closed it behind him. He saw that his parents had left an old journal on the dining table. There was also a little note on top of it.
"I found this at the antique market not far from home. You should read this, the author sounds like a time traveller - your dearest mother"
He took it upstairs and sat down on his bed before opening up the notebook. The first page said the date 23rd February, 1623.
"My name is Hikaru. Well it was Hikaru. I was born in the year 1989 I died in the year 2010 and was reborn into the body of someone called Takumi, a cruel and wicked yet handsome fiancé to the stone hearted Ichiro, the heir to multiple estates and a chief military commander. My life is very different now, there's no technology, no television, no telephone and no planes. Life is a lot harder than it is now."
Rui had never heard of a television, nor a telephone, nor a plane. He wondered if he would ever see anything like what the author described
A few centuries into the future, a young girl is given a gun that belongs to her ancestor, a very successful businessman who was the owner of the first ever department store in Japan. She is in some really bad financial debt and wants to sell the gun.
Ping!
Ootori Emu(the girl that actually buys my stuff): hey nene! I'm at your house right now, when will you get there?
Kusanagi Nene: im leaving the train station, wait for me there.
Ootori Emu: if you dont get here in 10 minutes, im leaving!
Kusanagi Nene: wait! I'll give you a discount, I'll be there in roughly 15 minutes
Ootori Emu: alright, fine.
Nene soon arrived at her house. Well her late mother's house, she was trying to sell everything off as she was in crippling debt.
Kusanagi Nene: did you have a look around while you were waiting?
Ootori Emu: yes actually. That box over there, what's in it?
Kusanagi Nene: oh that?
Nene grabbed the box
Kusanagi Nene: its my ancestors gun. He was the man who opened japan's first department store. His name was Robert Hunter.
Ootori Emu: Oh wow! I'll give you 3 million yen for it.
Kusanagi Nene: 3 million?! I'll have to ask my mom first, she's very protective of it. Says that its an heirloom and its priceless.
Ootori Emu: alright then. I'll be back in about a week with the money.
Kusanagi Nene: alright then!
The next day, Nene goes to the temple her mother is kept in. She kneels down at the entrance of the tomb and places the box containing the gun next to her.
Kusanagi Nene: mom, I want to sell the gun. I know you're very, very protective of it but 3 million yen is a lot of money! I could buy a phone, a new car maybe, I would be rich! Although, if you're not happy about it, please send me a sign. A lightning bolt, make it start raining or something!
A few minutes pass by and nothing happens
Kusanagi Nene: I'll take that as a yes then mom. Thank you!
She grabs the box and prepares to leave. All of a sudden, the box begins to glow
Kusanagi Nene: What the hell!
She opens up the box. The gun is glowing and she can't help but grab it.
Kusanagi Nene: ohmygod what is going on?! Why is it glowing like that!!?
Suddenly, the sky goes dark as the moon covers the sun and she's forced to press on the trigger, sending a bullet up into the sky. She squeezes her eyes shut and hopes for the best.
She opens her eyes. She's standing in an open field and there is scaffolding. Its a really big forest clearing
She runs out and instead of the rest of the temple, she is greeted with a large river with old looking boats skillfully going through it!
Kusanagi Nene: what the actual fuck. WHAT?!? I SWEAR I WAS JUST IN A TEMPLE!
She scanned the area around her. In the distance, there is a big temple and in front of her across the river, a giant palace surrounded by white stone walls. Knowing she's in a foreign place and she won't survive if she just stands there, she quickly runs off in search of shelter
