"Can you tell me what year it is?"

The woman, or more accurately, girl, who had introduced herself as Amatsuki Toki was exceptionally calm for her unusual entry.

She saw Damien and Kuzan's battle stances and did not seem to feel anything afoot, choosing to greet the two warmly.

With long light green hair and a young beautiful face. The girl wore a pink kimono with crescent moons imprinted, leaving her thighs open. A blue cloth wrapped over her abdomen and a flower ornament with a chain of pearls on the right side of her hair.

She even had a sword tied on her left waist, covered with a red scabbard.

.

Damien squinted his eyes, unsure what to comment; such a situation was unprecedented.

Unfortunately, Kuzan was not as critical as he pointed at Toki, "Look, Big Bro Damien, a nee-chan with big bazongas fell from the sky!"

*Bonk!*

Damien no longer paid any mind to the boy rolling on the ground.

He turned his gaze back to the curious "guest" and could not help but think, 'Is this a coincidence or something more?'

*Grumble* Toki lightly coughed in embarrassment and asked, "Um, can I trouble you for some food?"

[A While Later]

The company of three sat around the giant stump in the peaceful part of Mortem Island once more, feasting on a plethora of food. 

Kuzan looked gallant as he chewed his high-protein breakfast down. 

Perhaps the appearance of a stranger after a year of lonesomeness had left him a little insecure, especially with an older girl present.

Meanwhile, Damien ate his fill, enough for fifty people and Toki maintained a seemingly traditional and elegant eating style, probably taught from a young age.

.

"So, Toki," Damien said. "It seems the both of us weren't expecting this meeting."

The girl looked up after finishing a bite. "Yes," she nodded.

"I chose to go many more years ahead, but for some reason, I was pulled here… I don't know why…"

Damien hummed.

He knew of her fruit: The Time-Time Fruit. It supposedly allowed its user or anyone they choose to jump into the future at a predetermined amount of time.

'Any thoughts, Sibyl?'

The reply came quickly: [Time is one of those abstract things that is hard to work with, let alone interfere with.]

Damien turned to the girl and questioned, "This time jump, was it different from the ones you've done before?"

Toki tapped her cheek with her finger while looking up. Her eyes shined as she answered, "Well, I did feel something odd from a treasure I received over 750 years ago."

*Pwooo* Kuzan spat out his mouthful of food and gawked at Toki. 'S-Seven hundred and fifty years!? S-She's a living fossil!!!'

Damien raised an eyebrow at the information and gestured to her to elaborate.

Toki nodded and placed her spoon down. She wiped her hands and reached into her kimono to take something out.

Upon first glance, it was a small white cube. About five cubic centimeters in size. 

*Fuuuu*

Yet for whatever reason, the dull cube became mobile as it pulsated with energy, releasing light. Toki became alarmed: "That's weird, it never glowed like this before…"

Unlike her, Damien felt something awfully familiar.

*Woosh!* A quick blast of wind went off as the tesseract shot toward Damien's body. 

As it travelled, its body shattered apart to reveal a tiny glowing orb within.

It all happened within a fraction of a second: the cube shed its shell into an energy ball that dissolved into Damien's chest and a notification opened in his eyes.
