My Soul Will Find Yours [Completed]

Oh No, You Don't!

When Kaname left, I immediately went to the bedroom proper to gather my belongings. I turned on my cellphone and swiped the screen a few times to look for the application that lets one add animations to alter their photos. I smiled mischievously as my plan to prove my time travel to him was finalized. I then returned outside to enjoy my already cold lunch.

I wasn't affected by Kaname's threat, much to my maids' confusion. In fact, they were deeply bothered by our quarrel that my being cool as a cucumber was making them even more scared.

"My lady, forgive me for prying but what will you do when the shogun comes back?" Ryuko-san asked, no longer able to hide her apprehension.

"Show him proof," I said, completely unconcerned. I grabbed my chopsticks and started flaking the grilled fish before me.

"But where will you get proof?"

"The contents of my bag are my proof." I replied. "Don't worry, Ryuko-san, it is I who will have the last laugh."

"Forgive this old woman, my lady. I am just concerned."

"No need to apologize. Thank you for caring about me but there really is nothing to worry about." Ryuko-san still looked bothered so I added, "After I finish partaking these food, I will show you what I mean."

"Sit down, all of you," I instructed the women in the room with me. Like domino pieces, they all knelt on the floor, folded their legs underneath their thighs, and rested their buttocks on their heels one after the other. "I am doing this because I saw how nervous you all were after my quarrel with Kaname. I am not sure what happens to the servants of women who tricked or betrayed the shogun but judging from your actions, it must not be good."

I took my phone and tapped open the camera. Pointing its lens towards the women in front of me, I continued, "As you must have heard earlier, I told Kaname that I am from the future. I was not lying, what I said is the truth. This thing that I'm holding is one of my evidences."

Nanami timidly raised one hand, I nodded at her in acknowledgment. "My lady, m-may we know what exactly you're holding?"

"This is a cellphone. Where I come from, this is used to send messages to another person through Short Message Service or SMS. All you have to do is type on the keypad to compose your message and hit send once you're done. I am a lousy texter and prefer calls over texting. If you have a person's number, you can call or text a person anytime, provided that the person has network signal. I wish I can show you how it's done but unfortunately, the technology that will allow me to do so is still centuries away from being made at the moment."

"Please forgive us but we didn't understand most of the things you said," it was the short and slender Tsubaki.

"Sorry, I don't have any other way to explain what I just did," I fiddled with my phone again before motioning for them to come closer. "I recorded our conversation just now. Have a look."

The five women gathered around me, their eyes glued on the 5.8" screen of my phone as soon as the video started playing.

"W-what is happening?" Tsubaki gasped, her eyes as big as saucers.

"Look! That's you, Ryuko-san! This is magic!" came Nanami's voice.

"And that's you beside me, Nanami! And beside you is Tsubaki, followed by Megumi, Aya, and Yoko[1]!" Ryuko-san pointed at the screen with trembling fingers.

I smiled. "Not only can I send messages and make calls using my cellphone, I can also record videos, take pictures, and even play games with it. It's quite expensive but with its plusses, I can say it's worth every penny."
