71 Chapter 10 : Dark Side Of Moon

In the piloting cockpit, James was lying against the ship's hull while Dewa was piloting.

James who had just slept for more than 7 hours yawned and did some stretching which caught Dewa's attention.

"You're awake, it looks like the fight you've been fighting is wearing you down."

James observed Dewa for a moment before nodding his head.

"My name is Dewa Kusiki, you can call me Dewa, I'm the ship's mechanic."

"James Art."

"That I already know,

There's even a nice bounty on your head."

Dewa joked but seeing James' face darken, quickly changed the subject.

"The captain has instructed me to tell you when you wake up to go to the rear room of the ship."

James took his bag that he had picked up after the fight and walked down the main corridor of the ship until he reached the rear room.

It was a fairly large room with a table in the center and several chairs.

On two of the chairs sat Kanimir and the girl with pink hair who both used their Smart-Gears.

The two, seeing James enter, stopped their activities.

"You finally woke up, I almost thought you were dead, unfortunately you're still alive."

"Don't listen to Kanimir my cutie, he looks mean and grumpy but he's actually cute as hell."

Hearing this, Kanimir grunted and continued to manipulate his Smart Gear.

The pink-haired girl pulled out a chair and sat James down before sitting next to him.

"My name is Knar Tumasyan, nice to meet you, honey, if you have any questions ask me."

James looked at her for a brief moment before saying calmly.

"May I know where we're going, but also who are you?"

Knar had a strange expression for a moment before looking at Kanimir, who motioned to her to answer.

"First of all, we are independent mercenaries who accomplish any kind of mission for money, because of a debt from our captain to our former captain, we helped you to leave Mars, to avoid being spotted we are unfortunately obliged to avoid the space portals, we are currently heading towards the Dark side of Moon, we will be there in a few days."

James hearing the name destination was slightly surprised, DSM is a very peculiar planet similar to Jacon City, it was a planet without any government force apparently common to three galactic class organizations, it was one of the most dangerous planets in the human space territory because it gathered many criminals, clandestine organizations or traffickers.

Rumors even claim that this planet and cities like Jacon City belonged to the same individual, but this was all speculation.

Although it was a dangerous planet, James had to admit that it was a pretty safe place for him, because on this planet it was strictly forbidden to exercise any mercenary contract under penalty of serious consequences.

"You must be hungry, you can help yourself to the fridge over there."

But then James soon discovered a problem.

He could hardly eat anything, all the food tasted like shit, only the fruits and some of the vegetables tasted edible.

Hearing James throwing up in the galley of the ship Kasimir began to laugh.

"Haha idiot, you are currently a traveler of a certain level eating food without a taste modifier is sheer idiocy, you are surely a specialist in senses, your taste is many times better than that of an ordinary human being." (It is blurred in its description because Knar is only a traveler of one-star rank, every traveler knows by instinct that one should not reveal any information about rank advancement).

James, who was vomiting, wiped his mouth and drank a large glass of water.

"He's right, I can even smell the filtration products in the water."

Several days passed, James took the time to get to know the strange crew members more deeply and from time to time while everyone sleeps, he and Knar would discuss the meaning of life.

. . . . . . .

The ship finally arrived in front of DSM after a long trip of twenty days.

DNS was a planet, with a completely black ground giving to the small planet a dark openwork color to that its surface covered with gigantic hollows reminiscent of the moon, James had to admit that this planet bore his name well.

After an hour of circling the planet, the ship entered the stratosphere and flew for about ten minutes before landing in an old parking lot in DNS's largest city, Umbertown.

It was a big, lively city of about 70 million inhabitants, despite the absence of skyscrapers, the city was gigantic with many neighborhoods and buildings covering more than 210 km, the city exuded a sense of danger and adventure.

Umbertown, a place where humans and extraterrestrials lived side by side, was the perfect definition of what the galactic era was all about.
