ネオ東京

Fileno.1 : Activate


It was a cold night in the as the sea breeze flows in the city from New Tokyo Bay. As the sun sets on the horizon, the led and neon lights of the city buildings illuminate the streets of Neo-Tokyo and its wards.

Office workers, students, sex workers, patrolmen, civilians from all walks of life wandering through the streets of the consumerist city, illuminating their way, making the night a day. Some have good intentions, but most always keep to themselves, minding their own damn businesses.

The year is 2093, mega-corporations, with their private armies and technological prowess, rivals every government in terms of power and influence. And every government is on a hunt for these technologies that mega-corporations only give to their own private armies. With the masses losing confidence over governments in favor of mega-corporations due to failed policies.

[-New Kowloon Condominium, Ginza Ward, Neo-Tokyo City -]


From the 35th floor of the condominium, looking outside the window, a lone figure is drinking from a mug filled with black coffee, yawning as she is just got up, wearing only an oversized t-shirt, undergarments, and a glove from her right hand.

Her apartment was, let's just say, adequate and functional for her line of work, saving up for months of salaries just to rent a decent place like this. Having a decent bed, kitchen, and bathroom complete with a tub. But what why she wanted this room, in particular, was the view of the ward. The lights, buildings, the hologram of the latest products that consumers haggle in the stores, she never gets tired of it.

Walking to her right, she opened her fridge, grabbing a breakfast burrito she brought to a nearby microwave oven and microwaved it. After it was done, she lazily munched down her burrito and turned on her holographic projector in the living room just to listen to some news that is going on.

And a hologram appeared out of nowhere.

"Breaking news, a student demonstration on Kasumigaseki District, in Chiyoda Ward regarding high tuition fee rates, has gone violent and with the students engaging on with the Public Safety Personnel, leaving 3 students dead and 17 students injured. The PSP has yet to make a comment on this matter and the Ministry of Education said that the tuition fees would still rise. Back to you, Shinozaki."

"Another protest again? I'll have to deal with the student leaders again." She commented.

"Thank you, Toshiya. In other news, MP Fuwa Nanbu of the Japanese Worker's Party was found dead in his house in an apparent suicide. A few days ago he made a proposal to the Diet to give some of the government's technology as a 'truce' for them to share their own. However, the Imperial Police refused to comment on the matter but some of his party allies are-"

She just immediately shut it off, and she continued to finish her meal in silence.

Finishing her breakfast, she fixed herself up from her bathroom to take a shower and toothbrush and drying herself from her auto-drier. She needed to duck slightly just to look at the mirror to fix herself up. Inspecting herself, having her black colored eye from her right eye and a blue one from her left and black hair that stretched all the way down to her shoulder.

"This is enough." She spoke to herself.

Now she just needs to wear something casual.

She gestured her right hand from her glove and from it a circular blue LED light lit and various images with a scanline effect appeared from existence near the glove.

Meet the Fourth Dimensional Inventory System or the F.D.I. for short. Developed by the Imperial Ministry of Research and Development, it acts as a sort of a storage, storing the item into bits of data into its hard drive and it materializes it into existence. However, it is only been distributed to specialist roles on the government to battle the R&D's of the megacorporations, yet OHM industries got their hands on the tech but still not yet releasing it to the public.

She tapped on the equipment windows and quickly hovering her hand to select her clothes, with the image, size, mass, and date of last storage, appearing. She went for blue jeans with a black tank top and a brown jacket to cover her. For her footwear, she just selected her standard rubber shoes. She hovered her hand again to the accessories portion of the menu and tapped a medical mask to cover the half of her face.

She exited her bathroom and she went to her bedroom to grab something. And from the side of the bed was a pistol with a magazine still loaded into the gun. It was her LK12 pistol, her favorite gun.

Designed and manufactured by Mirai Tech, this pistol is a specialist pistol as its ammo type can vary depending on the convenience of the user. The lowest being the .45 ACP and highest being .50 Action Express. The pistol's slide is colored in sleek black with a red outline. The sights are lit also with small red LEDs for easy aiming. Its grip's design is very ergonomic, having several outlines that fit very comfortably to her right hand and the trigger that's colored orange just feels right.

She grabbed her pistol and looked at the trigger, and to her eyes, it augmented reality. She saw an ammo counter and the type of bullet on the bottom right of her vision, there displaying: "[20] 5.7x28mm". She dematerialized her pistol to her inventory so she wouldn't get caught bringing a firearm downtown.

Finally prepared to go to her workplace, she went out of her room and encrypted the door lock code to open it.

Walking down the hallway to the elevator, it wasn't empty as there were a couple making out, not noticing her and just enjoying their time. Of course, she didn't mind what they are doing as their business is their business and walked immediately on the elevator to avoid disturbance, tapping the screen with the "G" on it and the doors of it closed.


[-Ginza Ward, Neo-Tokyo City -]


She got off the elevator and in front of her, a sleek black car is waiting for her. She opened the door and took a ride. To her left was a lady with blonde hair, wearing a blazer and an office skirt, and with it, sharp blue eyes along with a stoic face.

"Took you long enough, Yoshiko. The Chairman is pleased with a great job regarding Mr. Fuwa. You even convinced some that it was an apparent suicide."

She slouched in the comfortable chair and let out a sigh, "A target is a target, Core."

"And you certainly did a great job at it. You never fail to impress, even me." The woman now named Core reassured her. "We will let you handle his fellow party members and some of the student leaders that escaped today's protest in Kasumigaseki but we will be arriving shortly to HQ, and the Chairman would debrief you on your next mission."

Codename: Yoshiko. Her true name is Nakayama Mizuho but is classified. With the rank of an operative in the Central Intelligence Bureau, her jobs are intelligence gathering and assassination of targets. "Why not here?" She asked.

"He gave me strict orders to debrief you other than the HQ and will materialize your equipment there."

Yoshiko just gave a nod and look out the windows of the car, waiting when will they arrive in HQ.


[-Central Intelligence Bureau HQ, Shinjuku Ward, Neo-Tokyo City -]


Their ride arrived shortly thereafter but with the protest, some roads have to be closed and they take an alternate route to HQ. Once they arrived, they are greeted with a rather large lobby. With two staircases and two escalators leading to another open floor where the elevators are located. Between them was a very large screen with the logo of the C.I.B. in it along with its name and a receptionist along with a desk.

They walk to the elevator in complete silence, pressing the button [43] once they are there.

Now at Floor 43, they walk to their left hallway and arrived at the Briefing Room. They entered knowing and sat on the chairs provided to them, with the Chairman facing the screen with the map of the world along with their overseas agents. "Seems you arrived, Yoshiko and Core."

"Good Morning, Chairman Rein." They both greeted.

He then turned his chair to them. He wears a red coat and blue tie along with a black polo shirt. With black and black hair. The most distinct feature being the stitches across his face and both of his right eyes glowing red.

"Agent Yoshiko." He chuckled. "You've certainly grown to become a full-fledged agent. One of our youngest yet one of the most skilled. I'm proud of you, Agent."

Yoshiko was used to this kind of flattery since she also uses this in espionage but this is a special kind since the Chairman of the Bureau of Central Intelligence is not a man to be trifled with. Those scars in his head represent one assassination attempt made by a previous double Agent who infiltrated the Bureau but was killed himself by the Chairman but needs facial reconstruction and bionic eye implants.

"Thank you, Chairman." She bowed and sat on the chair provided to her.

A hologram appeared out of existence in the Chairman's side of the table. "Right, onto more pressing matters. You are to assassinate Tanaka Sendai. Executive of OHM Energy Corp."

"Sendai reached a deal with MP Fuwa regarding our agency. Us relinquishing our tech from the Ministry of Science and he may pull some more strings in the diet. And since Sendai is beyond the reach of the law, you are to kill him. It doesn't matter if you make it look like a murder, as long as you don't get your identity revealed from any cameras or don't make the alarm go up, as long as any megacorporation doesn't get a taste of our technology, it suffices."

The hologram then zoomed into Shibuya Ward where a large skyscraper careens to the skies with the main attraction of the building being the giant Chinese coin at the center of the tower and the tower being connected to other four lesser skyscrapers. It zoomed in again on the main tower

"Here is the face of Sendai." He is wearing a standard black coat and tie, however, the difference is that his face has lines that go all the way from his chin, then to his eyes and finally his forehead. A clear sign of full human cybernization. His eyes are glowing green and have red colored hair. "You have the means to use force by any means unless it will cause the alarm, however with your skill, I am confident that you will do the mission flawlessly. Core is going to be your operator as she usually is and would feed you information once you get there. Suit up and go to the teleporter. You are dismissed."

Both of them stood up immediately and exited the room, their eyes not filled with determination but treating is just another job to do for the day.

Agent Yoshiko tied her hair into a bun and gestured her F.D.I. to change her equipment to her personal protective equipment.

A trench coat that has a hoodie to cover her head is thin on the outside but is reinforced with nanotechnology, thus capable of defending the user from bullets as long as it isn't anti-materiel, giving the user immense strength boost and also capable of invisibility, cloaking every part of the body.

The high-velocity boots, capable of making the user leap from 18 m above while also neutralizing any force that connects with the boots.

Her respirator that is able to eject smoke screen when needed and also has filters to filter any intranasal gas agents. It is also capable of mimicking any voice that the user recorder or heard.

Wearing standard stretchable black slacks, and white polo and necktie underneath, completing her PPE.

After finishing wearing her outfit, she went to the Control Room up ahead, once she entered she is presented with a large screen with three human like androids seated at the base and each having a holographic computer, prepared to give assistance to Core, who is seated at the center of the room, displaying her status and command.

From the room, Agent Yoshiko walked into a platform filled with circles glowing in blue. She just nodded to her and it was a signal that it is a go.

"All systems clean. Prepare for teleportation Agent Yoshiko. We will feed you through once you get there."

She nodded and the humanoids did their work, teleporting the agent to her destination


[-01:00 Hrs-]

[-91th Floor, Jakob's Tower, Shibuya Ward-]


Yoshiko was instantly transported to one of the restroom stalls. It was at the time where it was cleanest and has a pleasant smell and the toilet and the bidette at the side of it were also clean.

"You have to find your target Agent." Core said to her from the HQ. She can listen to her through the use of the GM-Drive or Grey Matter Drive, a cybernetic augmentation in the brain widely used by the populace to augment reality or to send a message telepathically.

"I have sent a map file through your GM-Drive, though we can't register the location of any guards or your target due to the building being quadra-encrypted with firewalls. Even your probe can't scan, only the geometry is visible, everything else isn't. You have to find your target and kill him, Agent. As usual, I'll observe you through your lenses."

"Copy." The assassin answered in a monotone. The agent materialized her favorite pistol to existence and activated its all noise suppression mode, hiding it muzzle fire, sonic boom and gun operation noise. She opened the door slowly and noticed an unsuspecting guard washing his face and hasn't noticed her yet.

Minding his own business, he still washes his face. Yoshiko materialized her tazer and walked behind him, once noticed it is already too late for the guard. The assassin snaked her arm to his mouth and nose and slammed him against the floor, having the tazer deal with the final blow.

Searching the body of the guard, she found a keycard for opening secured doors. She put it in her pocket and continued her task in hand.

Having dealt with the guard, she cloaked herself and exited the men's room. There the hallway was widely lit with lights adjacent to the floor, walls and the ceiling and the ceiling has lights of its own. The walls of the floor was filled with exotic art and one wall has a poster on it. It has an omega symbol and on the middle of it reading the slogan "OHM Energy Corp. Quality Services, Quality Energy. OHM. Quality Endless."

The walls are adorned with black while the floor and the ceiling are covered in white. The hall has three doors indicated on her map however she noticed the security camera and immediately cloaked.

However, she didn't pay attention to any of those rooms as there is a large room at the end of the hallway. And that is where she went, even with the security they can't detect her presence.

From the end of the hallway, there is a large security double sliding door. She now suspects that this is where her target is and today is a pretty easy job. Security isn't tight, only one guard encountered, yet she is very cautious because she knew something is seriously wrong.

She slid the security card on the detector to open it revealing the rather large office. At the middle was an elevated platform, about half a meter high with stairs, a semicircular floating table along with a classic black leather chair, with two more chairs at the At the very end of the room was the window that exposes the Neo-Tokyo Skyline along with the view of the Tokyo Bay along with two pillars filled with white lines faint with light.

At the top of the room is a chandelier and all of the walls and the floors have metallic sheens on them, different from the appearance of the hallways except for the adjacent lights.

Of course, Yoshiko scanned the room with her eyes and there were no signs of a living bioorganism. But suddenly, alarms went off even with her cloaking coat but her cloak suddenly wear off and a man appeared in the chair of the room.

It was the man on her briefing, the Executive or Cyborg that she has full intention of killing. Yoshiko immediately aimed her gun without hesitation with the full intention of killing her target. She can't be identified as she is an agent of the shadows but with the situation right now, there are only two things she can do. One is to kill her target within 5 seconds before any bio scanners scan her face and hack into her GM-Drive and two, get the hell out of there.

She pulled the trigger, causing the bullet to fly from the gun and into the head of her target.


[-09:00 Hrs-]

[-Tristain Academy of Magic, Kingdom of Tristain-]

Louise is having an abysmal day. First, her failed transmutation spell, now the annual summoning of familiars of second years. She is just afraid that she has to face that she is a noble that can't even cast a simple spell.

She just wants to prove to her peers that she is a capable mage, maybe even superior to them in some ways as she is a Vallière. A mage to be respected.

Yet here she was hiding in all of the ceremonies has to offer, wanting her teacher to forget that she is even there. To hide from the shame, from her nickname "Zero" and the laughter that comes with it.

However, fate is very cruel.

"Professor Colbert!" A red-haired girl among the crowd, with her white blouse, unbuttoned on the last button, showing her cleavage. "Zero" has yet to summon hers!" She declared.

Louise cringed again once she heard that dreadful nickname again. On the back of her mind, she just wishes she could do a spell that can bitchslap her face. "I'll show you, Zerbst! I'll summon a familiar far greater than your pathetic salamander!" She snarled.

"Great? You're making me laugh, Zero! The only great thing that'll happen is that you accept that you aren't a mage!" Zerbst spat back and the crowd laughed at Louise's expense.

Professor Colbert, with his balding head, eyeglasses, and blue robes, stomped his staff to the ground. "Silence!" He shouted to his students. "Do that again and I will give you an assignment for you to work on the day of the Void!" That shut his students.

"Miss Valliere." He called to his student. "Proceed to the summoning circle, now."

"Yes, Professor." She answered. She is nervous among the stares, the judging stares of her classmates and walked very fast to her destination. Once there, she brought out her wand and began to chant.

"O, great familiar from the heavens that heathens shall fear your light! I! Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Valliere, summon thee!"

While Louise was chanting her summon, all of the students started to snicker from the utter desperation of Louise casting a spell until they heard, again, her spell explode.


[-02:00 Hrs-]

[-91th Floor, Jakob's Tower, Shibuya Ward-]


Yoshiko is having an abysmal day. First, security isn't that tight, now she knew OHM would come and get her since killing Fuwa Nanbu is a clear sign that someone has intentions against their goals. And now, somehow her bullet deflected when it was only inches away from her target's face.

Tanaka Sendai stood up from his chair and walked towards her, "So we finally caught you. An agent of another megacorporation? Or?" A hologram appeared in front of his face and manipulated his hand for it to be shown to the agent. And there was the JNN report on Fuwa Nanbu's death.

The assassin knew not to show any emotion and just stay silent, pouring bullet after bullet to any of his vital biological organs yet it is the same, it deflects.

Suddenly, the door banged open and two OHM Cyborgs and 6 Cyberhounds are there, ready to arrest her or kill her if she resists. "You! You are in violation of Code V, SubCode 291 of the OHM Corporation Guidelines! You are underarr-"

Yoshiko spewed more bullets into the OHM Cyborgs, interrupting their work and at the same time leaped towards the window while the cyber hounds leaped at her. All she has to do now is to wait for Core's teleportation. Until she heard something, from her GM-Drive.

"O, great familiar from the heavens that heathens shall fear your light!"

"Core! OHM hacked into my GM-Drive!" She messaged to Core.

"Agent. All systems are clean. There is no clear indication of a hack. Teleportation in 5 seconds."

The agent is now confused. Is she just hearing things? A language that she didn't understand, maybe a new programming code developed by them.

"I! Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Valliere, summon thee!"

"Co-"


[-09:00 Hrs-]

[-Tristain Academy of Magic, Kingdom of Tristain-]


There was a huge explosion in the summoning circle but the crowd of students wasn't surprised, instead they were laughing their asses off.

Louise was thrown off by the explosion. She didn't care that she was hurt but she knew what it signifies. This is her end. She isn't a noble. She is what her adversary says to her. A "Zero".

But there is a small sliver of hope for her because due to the explosion there is a dust cloud. Maybe a manticore, or even a dragon, due to its size dropped off and produced a huge dust cloud, but all that excitement died down once she heard footsteps.

From the cloud of dust came Agent Yoshiko walking slowly, with her looks not pleased with her situation, if not for the fact that her trigger finger is itching. For some megacorporation to simulate her into this world is madness to her!

She analyzed her surroundings. Tall towers that have color-coded spires with the tall mountains far behind the luscious green of the forest. The stone brick walls that made this towers, clearly not build with any recent technology of Building Printing. Various creatures that even megacorporations can't come up with. And people who wear cloaks look like those people that go to Akihabara for the latest otaku craze. "This is a simulation. There is no way in hell that a world like this can exist. This is straight out of an anime or a fantasy game." She thought.

Yoshiko still thinks her GM-Drive is hacked and hasn't made a systems check. The map on her vision now just a exclamation point and a sentence below it: "No signal to HQ." All the reality that is augmented is her ammo counter which only has five 5.7x28mm bullets left. But Yoshiko knew this isn't the case, she thinks she is in a computer simulation. "Run full system analysis checks. Check for viruses, hacking, file deletion, downloads, holograms, simulations. Stat." She commanded to her GM-Drive and now she has to deal with this little pink haired girl.

Everything went silent once she appeared on the summoning circle. First, they were shocked that Louise actually did magic, let alone summon a familiar. Once they saw the familiar, they are equally confused by her very foreign looks and finally, they laughed again. "Zero summoned a commoner!" Was heard throughout the crowd.

Louise, however, was just glad that she was able to summon, well, something, and this proves that she can do magic. But at the same time, she is disappointed and confused. There is no one in the history of Halkegenia that anyone, except for her god, Brimir, himself, summoned a familiar that is a human but there is a gut feeling that the commoner she summoned isn't a human.

Disappointed that she summoned a commoner familiar, not a manticore like her mother or even a mighty fire-breathing dragon. Instead, it was a commoner, but something about the familiar she summoned feels a bit out of the picture.

Her hood that hides her head along with the mask only shows her black and blue eyes and black silky hair. The only thing identifying her as something is her bust and her slender figure that is still outlined by her clothing. Everything about her feels foreign, futuristic, even the weapon that she is holding has a very futuristic feel to it.

"Analysis check complete. All systems clean. All requested checks are 0.0000. No sign of computer simulation. Visual analysis is genuine. No holograms."

This is an utter shock to the agent. She still believes that this is a simulation. Believing that she is hacked of some sort. Believing that this fantasy island shouldn't exist. This is a gamer's or an apartment hermit's paradise. But she has no mood for gaming, she has to assess the situation that she isn't in her world anymore.

She removed the all-noise suppressor mode, aimed her pistol up high in the air and emptied her magazine. The sound of the gunshots gaining the attention of everyone in the vicinity.

Professor Colbert, alarmed by her behaviour, aimed his wand and is in preparation for a fire spell. Professor, he might be, but his instincts of a battle-hardened soldier to recognize a threat isn't going away that easily.

Agent Yoshiko removed the magazine from her pistol and put another one in place, full of 20 bullets. She cocked the gun but noticed a man on her side, approaching her with caution. "Ma'am". That put her on the edge, she aimed her gun at his head and he stopped walking. "I believe that we can discuss in an otherwise more civil manner."

The agent couldn't understand what the bald man was saying. The man is speaking French, while Yoshiko could only understand three being Japanese, Mandarin, and English as those three are the most spoken languages in the current world.

"What are you saying?" She now stated to the professor. "Where have you taken me? Are you part of any megacorporation?"

Professor Colbert also didn't understand what she is saying and he doesn't want any casualties in this ceremony and diplomacy is first before a battle ensues. He then cast a translation spell to the summoned familiar. The Agent took this as a red flag and almost pulled the trigger until-

"Wait. Ma'am. I hope you can understand me now. So please lower your flintlock so that we can have a civil discussion." He said in a softer tone but still not letting go of the thought that she is a threat.

"Translation. Now, tell me how I got here. I know for a fact that this isn't a computer simulation. And no, I won't lower my gun, your stance is already a dead give away."

Colbert's eyes widened at the inhuman voice that is coming out of that mask, and Yoshiko smiled at this reaction and decided to exploit this. "Now, explain to me why am I here. If you are part of a megacorporation, I'll end you. Right here right now."

"Y-y-you are in the Tristain Academy of Magic, we are in a middle of a ceremony ma'am and," Colbert turned to the still silent Louise, still observing and dumbfounded that she summoned a familiar. "Ms. Vallière summoned you."

Agent Yoshiko laughed darkly to what he said and pointed her gun at the now awake Louise. "Magic? Bullshit! And you? Little girl? Summoned me? Teleported me when I am in the middle of something important?"

"I-I'm not a little girl!" Louise practically screamed at her. "I'm sixteen! And yes, I summoned you to become my familiar!" Still nervous about her gun but still her resolve didn't waver.

"Then you summoned the wrong familiar girl," Yoshiko growled which Louise shivered in response. "Old man." She then turned again to the professor. "Then let's say I believe in this so-called "Magic" of yours. Then bring me back to New Tokyo."

Colbert cringed at what the familiar nicknamed her as but piqued his interest once she mentioned her home, however also nervous that there is no way to reverse summon in their magic. "Ma'am, I-I'm afraid there is no magic that can do that."

"And why is that?"

"Because this is a sacred ritual and redoing it would be heresy."

"Old man." Yoshiko growled. "I'm in the middle of something important. And now this pipsqueak here decides to butt in on my affairs. I don't care about your damn religion, even if it is sacred! So this is my last warning. You two are meddling with affairs of the Bureau of Central Intelligence. If you two wouldn't teleport me back to my world, I'll terminate you both."

This got the attention of everyone now just waiting for this conversation to end. A commoner in their midst had just threatened two nobles. Pompous and arrogant they may be, but this arrogant familiar, a commoner nonetheless, threatens to outmatch magic itself. They couldn't accept this.

"You insolent commoner!" All heads turned to the now screaming teenage girl who has several large curls of hair, fixing it with a red ribbon. "You think you can just threaten us of the nobility?" The mage then cast a spell forming water bullets and launched it at the agent.

Yoshiko, with her fast reflexes, immediately aimed and shot those big bullets, exploding it. Colbert has had enough. "Ms. Montmonrency! Cease your attack! I will deduct a point for your next test! Everyone, class dismissed! Ms. Valliere, come with me and ma'am, we'll talk to the headmaster."

[-10:00 Hrs-]

[-Headmaster's Office, Tristain Academy of Magic, Kingdom of Tristain-]

After the crowd dispersed they walked to the office, and Agent Yoshiko still has her finger on near the trigger. The walk towards the office was full of tension waiting to be moved at the wrong time for gunshots and flames to be exchanged but luckily it didn't.

Though once they came to the office of the headmaster, it was unexpected. Headmaster Osmond was in the middle of signing more paper works from the palace, it is good that they have magic to do that but it is becoming more tedious. The Spring Summoning Ritual paperwork is really taking a toll on the Oldman.

Suddenly, the door opened revealing Professor Colbert, Louise and Agent Yoshiko.

The headmaster put back his levitating pen to its inkwell and stood up. "Colbert? Are you done with the student's summoning? And what do we owe the pleasure of bringing a guest here?"

Colbert slightly bowed and brought up a tired smile, "Yes, headmaster, unfortunately, we have a situation here, Louise summoned her and she is not pleased with her situation."

"Hmmm, why is that Ms…..?" The headmaster questioned to the agent.

The assassin then turned her attention to the Osmond, "My name is classified by the Bureau. Now let's cut the crap. Since you are the headmaster of this…..magical place, you are more powerful than them, because it seems that these two don't know how to turn me back."

Once Louise and Colbert heard it, they were terrified and shocked to see that they are read so easily. How a human, a commoner to read their thoughts without even revealing them is very terrifying. "And since I've calmed down, wasting my bullets on these two isn't worth it." That made the exhaled like they never before. "So, Headmaster, is there any way for me to go back?"

The headmaster stroked his beard slowly but his response is quick, "I'm afraid that Professor Colbert here already knows the answer that since you threatened him with death with your rather peculiar looking flintlock, he kept his mouth shut. But I'm going to answer for him. Miss, I'm afraid that the summoning is irreversible. No magic in Halkegenia that can reverse a summon as it is eternal and bound until death. Even the elves can't teleport from plane to plane."

Yoshiko closed her eyes and exhaled, "I was already expecting that answer, however, you should realize that you are all overstepping the Bureau's affairs and I'm not in the mood to dilly dally and do jack shit." She sternly stated and cocked her head, her cursing gaining considerable gasps in the room.

"Do you have a map?" The agent questioned.

"Yes. Would you like to locate your location?" Osmond asked and cooperated, levitating a map from his bookshelf and laying it down firmly on the table. This time Yoshiko is wide-eyed for the display of magic in front of her, still in disbelief but she didn't let it show.

Once she viewed it, she sighed in frustration, her situation is just getting worse and worse. The map is similar to Europe there is no Britain, Germany, France, Russia or the Iberian Peninsula. She just lets it sink in, "So I really am in a different world, where magic is apparently real….."

"I'm sorry Miss," Osmond put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her, "I know this is a little hard to take in but we would try to make your living here as comfortable as possible and we're sorry."

She stayed quiet but a desperate last hope that this is just a simulation or bad dream, she contacted Core. "Core. Status. Do you read?"

And she got silence as a response. She clenched her fists very tight and slammed them on the table. A world defunct of technology, but with magic as a replacement to manipulate their environment. How can a person far flung from time and space cope up with such unfortunate circumstances?
