I appeared in the alley of a city which seemed to have been developed by a machine civilization.

“Is this the right place, Lena?”

“Yes, I’ll show the location on the map.

BiiBBib

A mini map appeared, indicating the location of the person I wanted to meet.

As I walked out of the alley, I saw a street filled with flowers of great beauty, covered in its entirety by a large dome in the sky.

“Feels like we are in some Sci-Fi.”


I exclaimed after seeing the domed city. Although I had already known about it due to Machina’s report, seeing it first hand was an entirely different feeling.

The human race of this age had already proceeded into the cosmic era. Although it was a civilization which existed long before mine, It was strange to see that they were so much more advanced than Earth.

This very place is an artificial planet with large skyscrapers and a population of a billion people.

The planets name was Gehenna, and it was only medium sized and located in a rather remote area of space. There had already been more than one million artificially created planets built in outer space.

“Johra, the target is on the move.”

“Okay, I’ll hurry up.”

I sped up in order to quickly catch up.

“What’s going on, why is she moving so fast?”

“It appears the target has noticed the fact that Johra is following.”

“Hmm, using magic is risky so I’ll just outsmart her.”

The target had glanced behind expertly as she turned the corner.

“I’ll mark you her expected route and you can intercept her midway.”

“Okay, I guess I can delay catching her for a little while.”

I walked around the corner of another alley and lay in wait.

“Now Johra.”

“Caught you….”

“Bam!”

I had just grabbed my target’s sleeve, but the next thing I knew my head was stuck in the ground.

“Hey… that’s a bit much no?”

After having thrown me, she had escaped without once looking back.

“Huh, it seems that she doesn’t like strangers.”

I stood up and patted the dust of my clothes.

“She’ll probably be heading towards her house, se we can just go there first and set an ambush.”

“Alright.”

When I was about to finish making my preparations, I got word from Lena.

“Target’s home has been located, but it seems that she’s already left.”

“Great, shall we step inside?”

Zzing

I stood before the front door while Lena hacked her way in.

Click!

“That’s pretty cool no?”

“Sure, but it’s still inferior to the Rohim’s technology.”
