Ficool

Chapter 6 - Anito

"Entangled present time, December 30, 2020." That is what this amazing tablet says in the description of its calendar section. This made sense because it was before Christmas when I teleported to this timeline.

"CPU type: Quantum Time Crystal, made by..." What? This was manufactured by a well-known company! Oh, my grass! This is absolutely future technology. So maybe that little girl in a blue hoodie was a time traveler? Hmm...

How about my crypto portfolio? Let me see.

"Wow! Bitcoin went parabolic today! With my Cardano holdings, I am the youngest crypto millionaire in the Philippines! But how will I spend it here? In this timeline?" I said to myself while browsing the tablet and soaking in the river.

"Wow! Nice..." A low-pitched voice suddenly whispered behind me.

I was suddenly stunned, and my heartbeat started racing. As I turned my head around quickly, I saw a blue-haired girl dive quickly under the water.

"Mayumi!!! Help!" I shouted while putting my clothes on quickly.

I ran for my life as fast as I could, but I unconsciously lost my way back to Mayumi's house.

"Damn it! I am screwed!" I said to myself as I stretched.

After a few moments, I looked at the tablet's screen and noticed something.

"It has a fully functional GPS! Girl in a blue hoodie! Wherever you are! I will return your tablet, but let me borrow it right now!" I said to myself, starting to feel hopeful about positive possibilities.

"Start access to Black Knight satellite in order to view Earth's surface." A notification suddenly appeared at the side of the screen.

"Oh, my grass! This is cheating!" I shouted enthusiastically.

The moment I saw the entire map and live view of my location, I also located the position of Mayumi's house, and all my uncertainties disappeared. I breathed deeply in, then breathed all out, and started to run to the seashore to enjoy the fresh sea breeze of the day. When I reached my destination, I sat down on a rock alone and browsed the internet again.

"Lucio! How are you?" I called my classmate on a video call in my present time.

"I am fine! What are you wearing? Are you cosplaying? You are wearing pre-colonial female clothing!" Lucio replied.

"No! I am not! Sorry, I mean yes! But this is not important right now. Are you busy today?" I said to Lucio.

"No, I am not. Why?" he replied.

"I have a favor to ask, but do not worry, I will pay you $50 worth of Bitcoin for the job," I said to Lucio.

"It depends. By the way, what kind of job is it?" Lucio asked.

"I just want you to visit our house and check my desktop computers and GPU crypto miners," I replied to Lucio.

"Is that all? Anyway, how could I get into your house? Is there anyone inside?" Lucio asked.

"There is no one inside. Please just borrow the key from our neighbor Anita and show your phone screen to her while we are in a video call to prove that I am giving you permission to enter our house," I replied.

"Okay, just going to brush my teeth first and go," Lucio replied and ended our video chat.

"Clang! Clang!" A sound of a bow and arrows fell to the ground.

Mayumi and I just stared at each other for a minimum of ten seconds without saying any word. Then she immediately kneeled on the ground, praising me while bowing her head and chanting, "Anito! Anito! Aniiiiiiiito!"
