~Lacuna POV~
Mila began to explain. Today, and a generation earlier, the Ibrahim family is not among the five biggest mafia. However, in the two generations and before, they include. This is what makes them still hold the prototype.
Supposedly, the Ibrahim family gave the prototype to the new family that entered into the five largest. However, on the basis of respect, another family allowed the Ibrahim family to carry one prototype and the other was given to the Grattan family.
The current head of the Ibrahim family is arguably ambitious. He wanted to reclaim the top five, or even number one spot from the Adams family. When he found out his family, the Ibrahim family, had a prototype of control over him, he immediately planned to multiply the prototype.
The previous head of the family had already given a warning, but what happened was that he was executed by the current head of the family, his own son. Members of the Ibrahim family consider the decline in prestige and strength of their family to be caused by incompetent leaders. Therefore, they supported the plan of the current head of the family and executed the previous head of the family.
After that, it was like we talked about. The head of the family who now broke the deal and ignited the problems of the extended family.
"Hoo, so is it."
I was silent for a moment. Seeing as this country already has control-busting technology generations before, I began to think that the techniques used by Lugalgin and the mafia of this country were different.
However, something is troubling.
"Can I speculate a little?"
"Yes, of course."
"The main reason you are not multiplying that prototype is not because you do not want to make the country, or even the world, chaotic. Even if this happens, you will still try to make a profit there and here. I feel like there's another reason. Such as limited resources or specific manufacturing processes, or anything else, that makes the production process very limited. In other words, technical reasons."
Mila smile. His smile was a carefree, happy smile, as if a student had answered the teacher's question.
At that moment, a waiter came and placed a few cups of tea on the table, between our sofa and Mila.
"Take a drink."
Me and Sonya complied and sipped tea slowly.
"Your guess is right." Mila put down the tea cup. "I myself don't know the details, obviously, this item can't be produced anymore. Right now, everyone only has a control-removing object the size of a ring. Ibrahim's family melted the ring and then smeared it or used it as a coating weapon or bullet. One drop is more than enough."
"Ah, so is it. Pretty reasonable. In this way, my question was answered as to why the Ibrahim family did not use the control weapon too often. But,"
I threw the katana I had put next to the sofa. Mila caught the katana easily.
"Katana?"
"Let's open it and you take a good look at the katana."
Without asking any questions, Mila pulled the katana from the sheath. A shining light reflected on his sword blade.
"I don't see–"
Mila widened her eyes when she touched the blade of the katana sword.
I no longer feel the pressure of Mila's control. And, apparently, he also realized that his control had disappeared. Maybe he was controlling something somewhere else.
"This blade of the sword is capable of taking away my control?"
"I've also dismantled the handle. Iron on the inside is also the same as the blade, able to eliminate control. I even had time to sand it, just to make sure that the control remover wasn't just a layer."
I'm not saying that the chipped part, the sanded grain, also has the effect of eliminating control.
"So" Mila added. "You're saying, this whole sword blade is a control-busting weapon? But, it's impossible. We can't even produce it anymore. The circulation of the few remaining rings was severely restricted. If any military woman were to give birth and be given this ring, she would have very strict supervision.”
Of course not! My main reason is to see you, mother. The affairs of the control-busting weapons can be thought of later.
"But, this, this katana." Mila continued to look and feel the katana. "There is a possibility that the entire blade is made of a strength-removing material. I didn't expect it at all. Where'd you get it?"
I put the cup back to the table and leaned back.
While we continued talking, Sonya just kept quiet and looked at us. His mouth that spoke a lot was no longer heard.
"I was given by one of my students as a parting gift. And, make no mistake, that katana is not the only weapon of power-busting. This disciple of mine has dozens of other weapons that can eliminate control. Not only weapons, but the weapon chest is also able to eliminate control. Not to mention all the control-busting bullets he had."
"That-that's..."
"Initially, I just thought he was just combining materials. However, when I concentrated, I could not sense the thing or the weapon at all. If I didn't hold it and look at it directly, I wouldn't know of its existence, as if this katana didn't exist."
"What–"
"I've taken him to the lab. They also could not give any explanation. If studied, compositionally, katana is just an ordinary metal. There's no special material in it."
Mila was silent. He saw the katana all right. His eyes continued to look towards the katana, not turning at all.
I hope strange thoughts don't pop into his mind all of a sudden. I half doubt I said it all. I'm afraid he'll kill me and take the katana. Or investigate where I got it.
But I don't know, I feel fine saying this. Is it because she's my mother, I feel like she's definitely going to make normal, rational decisions like me? Hope so.
Why do I say normal and rational? Basically, the country's largest mafia has stated that it is not capable of producing control weapons. However, suddenly, an unknown figure was indicated to have dozens of weapons capable of eliminating control.
And, not only is the coating as it is done in this country, the whole piece of weapons made by that figure is a control bust. If they misstep, and make the maker of this weapon as an enemy, it could be that this figure will gather an army full of control-removing weapons..
