~Lacuna POV~
"I'm going to the supermarket, what are you picking up?" Sonya shouted while wearing clothes.
"Cola and ice cream."
"OK..."
It has been four months since the cleansing of the Ibrahim family. I still live in the same apartment. Sonya lives here too. Instead, his apartment was used as an armory. Dam most importantly, Sonya has a duty to maintain the cleanliness and neatness of this place.
Since the cleaning work of the Ibrahim family, there has been nothing else of the same scale. The work we received was, arguably, normal. Maybe just as bodyguards, assassins, or things like that. Although there is an organizational cleanup, only small organizations are missteps, which vary with large organizations.
Until now, I haven't told Mila that I'm her daughter. Once when Sonya and I were on vacation at the playground. It was also a coincidence that we met Mila and her family, husband and daughter. Mila's husband is Nico, a senior in the Anastasia Family, and Princess Mila is Tatiana. Because we met, the five of us spent time together.
Unfortunately, there was an incident on Tatiana. Since Tatiana was the daughter of the Anastasia higher-ups, it was normal for her to be targeted. However, I managed to snatch the kidnapper. Unmitigated, I immediately cleaned up the kidnapper and the organization that hired him.
I won't let anyone who messes with my sister get away with it.
Despite not wanting it, Anastasia's family gave me a gift for saving Tatiana. Even if I refused, I couldn't do it. If I refuse, it's like spitting on Anastasia's family's good name, as if saying "i don't need your kindness.". Yes, living in a black market world is sometimes troublesome.
From then on, if Mila needs me to do the work, she will bring Tatiana along. Since knowing that Mila had a daughter, and perhaps her control was weaker, I took a little material from the Lugalgin-given katana and turned it into a ring. So, I always carry and wear the ring every time I meet Tatiana.
On the other hand, I was still surprised by the weapon Lugalgin gave me. I just take the material from which I am sanded and mix it with other metals to be melted back into a ring. In other words, its composition was only a few percent of the ring, but its power-busting effects were still active.
Back to the main business. Because of my closeness to Mila and Tatiana, a rumor that I had become a private mercenary of the Anastasia family had circulated. In fact, there's a rumor that says that I'm already a member of the Anastasia family.
However, this rumor died quickly when I accepted a job from the Adams family or another family. In fact, I even got a job from the government.
Today, without a job, I do an old routine that is often forgotten, enjoy an afternoon with beer and cigarettes, enjoy the breeze blowing breezy. Since I was on the balcony of my own apartment, of course I only wore t-shirts and panties.
I started humming, muttering my favorite song I heard so often.
"The moment we almost lost our reason to keep going, we realized that there's something we must protect with all cost. huh."
I stopped at that part.
I work as a mercenary is not something planned. At first, I was just doing odd jobs while searching for information regarding the whereabouts of the mother. Without me noticing, I've been labeled a mercenary.
And, I can't deny that I was tired of this search many times and had chosen to end it. In the end, I continued my search only holding on to one thing, I wanted to meet mom. That'sallthatis. Next, I don't care.
Now, after meeting my mother and sister in person, I feel that all the searching was not in vain. Even though they don't know the truth, I don't mind at all. Right now, the main reason I am living my life is to protect them as best I can. Of course I'll protect mom's husband. If she dies, mom and Tatiana will be sad.
For Sonya, she's grown a lot. After I trained, he can now shoot needles from anywhere. On assault missions, he can make needles slide out of pockets of clothing or pants easily and quickly. Since Sonya did not hold the needle at all, where she attacked and how many needles were fired could not be known with certainty. Only he knows.
I told you he could move on his own. In other words, he has already graduated as my student. However, he did not want to leave and instead said he wanted to work with me. Since I needed people to keep this apartment tidy and clean, I took his advice.
Then, what about me? Of course I'll stay here. At least for now.
In front of? I don't know, maybe I'll join the Anastasia family, or maybe become their personal mercenary, or maybe start a new journey in search of something else.
Crates
At that moment, a voice sounded. Lazily, I walked in, picked up the smartphone on the sofa. This number comes from a job broker who used to call me. This work did not come from the Anatasia family or the Adams family.
I picked up the phone. "So, what kind of job is it?"
Almost forgot. Just a moment ago, I had contacted Mulisu to ask about their news. Based on information from Mulisu, until now, Ukin still has not appeared. Lugalgin is also already inactive on the black market. Now, Lugalgin only trades antiques. The three of them no longer communicate.
Lugalgin, so you choose to stop doing activities on the black market. Yeah, I don't mind. Your life is your choice. Even if one day you choose to go back to the black market, I will not stop you. I just hope that if it's true that you're on the black market, we're not dealing as enemies.
Yeah, I hope so.

Hello everybody.
Back, the author wants to thank the likes, comments, and support of the readers. All of this support means a lot to Author. For those who want to see the illustration, can check in ig @renigad.sp.author.
Finally, Arc/season 4 is over. This chapter is the last chapter of POV from Lacuna. The next arc/season, next week, will return to Lugalgin. The author hopes this chapter is published Sunday by the admin, so it fits. And, really a coincidence Arc/season 4 ended in Chapter 75. Well, if you look at Mangatoon episode number 81 anyway. Hehe. Well, nevermind.
Initially, the arc/season was planned as a spinoff. However, due to being too closely tied to the Main Story, it was later incorporated into Arc/season 4, after getting a role in the flashback story. Because it became Arc/season 4, many things were re-edited. Although POV is focused on Lacuna, Arc/season-4 has many connections to previous Arc/season so that those who do not read the previous chapter will feel awkward.
In addition, there are several other purposes the author wrote this Arc/season. First to show Lugalgin is not as overpowered as it seems. In Chapter 43, Lugalgin has admitted that he is unable to do anything without a supportive strategy and location (although this has actually been seen since the early Chapter :P).
Second, it gave rise to Lacuna that was much stronger than Lugalgin. In addition to controlling and physical strength, Lacuna can also concoct strategies. Even Lacuna can use the word control remover smoothly. However, above Lacuna, there was still a figure who "looked" stronger, namely his mother, Mila. Yes, simply put, above the sky there is still the sky.
Then, in Arc/season 4, it is explained how the control-busting weapon, which Lugalgin and Etana claim to possess, has a great influence on normal people, people with control. However, it is not fully explained how the weapons of control can be circulated in other countries. Why that? Well, if explained now, spoiler apert.
Ah, besides, Arc/season 4 gives a bit of POV than a normal person, not an incompetent. If we were in Lugalgin, we would never be able to see how the same control effects or how normal people know things around. In Arc/season 4, give a little POV. Why little? Because unfortunately Lacuna also often uses his physical strength.
Okay, I think the post-note is enough.
And, as always, the author wants to do the endorsement. Currently, the illustrator whose image is used as a cover is a pixiv, ⁇ or QYS3 illustrator. So, before, the author just took a walk in pixiv, looking for original content, trus pm artistnya. Because it is not the result of a commission, but public content, the author also does not spend money.
So, the promotion at the end is something that the author does voluntarily because the artist has allowed the author to use the image even though it has actually become public content. So, readers can open the pixiv page and like gallery in https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=7210261 or follow his twitter in https://twitter.com/QYSThree. Both can also.
In addition to QYS3, the author has also obtained an eye souvenir from pokarii that can be posted at the end of the story.
Once again, thank you to all the readers who have liked and commented. Your support means a lot to the author. Thank you also for your quick words. The author is truly grateful.
See you in the next Arc/season
