“It’s been a while, Crown Prince.”
The 2nd generation was not dressed like when they came to the banquet before, but in their usual work clothes. Of course, in this weather, the sleeveless is wearing a Morini coat.
“Hmm? Didn’t you wear the clothes I bought you? It’s normal clothes even when you see the crown prince.”
“Because the crown prince is not someone like you. Yes?”
“Well, it’s me, I’m fine.”
The awkwardness of the two at the banquet wasn’t bad, but if you’re going to talk about work, this is more comfortable.
“Hello Katyusha. This one… … It’s the first time I’ve seen your face.”
“It’s called bytes. I’m going to help with the Crown Prince’s work as an accountant. I’ve heard about the quality of Azmash’s weapons. Thank you very much, Second Generation.”
Byte politely bowed to the second generation and bowed. Ivan’s expression became a little complicated at the polite self-introduction he hadn’t given himself.
“Really, is it accounting? You will see a lot in the future. Please take good care of me.”
The two of them smiled as if they roughly grasped the situation. And he slumped in his seat. The long case slung over his back was carefully laid on the floor.
“So, what were you talking about?”
“About Parabellum.”
“Ah, those guys.”
There was an immediate response from both of them.
“Those guys, did something bad happen?”
“Disclosure of customer information… … No, I’m not a customer anymore, so is it okay? He’s quieted down a bit now, but he used to be very annoying.”
The two sighed heavily. As Katyusha poured her tea, she smiled and thanked her, then blew and took a sip.
“Well, I understand. Because it was this side that hit the back of the head first.”
“You hit the back of the head first? What are you talking about?”
I still don’t remember doing anything to Parabellum. Except for unintentionally causing great damage by smashing Carte’s casino.
“It was Parabellum that lobbied hard while promoting the introduction of firearms and official firearms in Sangvis Sangvis. It was also there that the first production commission was entrusted to me.”
Looking back, it certainly was. On the first day I went to order a gun, a man who looked like he belonged to Parabellum was sitting in the waiting room.
“But I was not invested in Parabellum.”
However, the current situation was flowing completely different from the original work and Parabellum’s intention.
“You’ve had a lot of fun lobbying, but you haven’t seen much benefit, Parabellum.”
“Yes. The official firearms were selected from Azmash Workshop. It seems to have occupied a significant position in the distribution of homemade firearms.”
Ivan helped explain. The two sighed as if they were annoyed and gulped down the tea.
“From that point of view, I made porridge and ended up looking like Nam Joon. So you seem to have quite a grudge.”
“Right. … … By the way, two generations.”
I called the 2nd generation because I was concerned about something.
“Why didn’t you get Parabellum’s investment? I think you offered a pretty good deal.”
I am grateful that I declined Parabellum’s investment, but I didn’t quite understand why I did that. Was there some reason?
“I think the crown prince will hate it.”
The two answers to my question were both out of the blue and clear.
“… … I like it very much, but are there any other reasons?”
“Well, that’s true, but I was annoyed at talking as if looking down somewhere. It was very unlucky to say it as if it were patronizing. In the first place, all the techniques applied to my official firearms belonged to the Crown Prince. They were just presenting the concept.”
“Thanks to that side’s luck, things worked out this way. I should be grateful.”
I sincerely thought so.
When I first started working on firearms, I didn’t know the existence of Parabellum. That’s why, if you didn’t care, the worst result of increasing your strength might have occurred.
“It’s a little nonsense to say that Ivan’s offer was accepted after rejecting their investment.”
“What, what nonsense. I did my best to help, but… … .”
“Sorry about that part. I was distracted by this and that, so I let it go.”
“What are you even apologizing for, Crown Prince?! Isn’t the treatment of me too harsh?!”
self-employed He was an extra in the original work, but he should have been sensitive to the fact that he had a role.
“Speaking of Parabellum, not too long ago, there was someone who sneaked into the studio.”
“That is a big deal. Have you heard of a thief?”
Could it be that he has embarked on a military exercise? If so, a countermeasure is needed.
“It must have been an attempt to spy on the manufacturing process. I beat him up and kicked him out.”
“… … hmm?”
Then, I suddenly remembered the person I sent to Azmash Workshop.
“… … Isn’t that Borland?”
“Borland… … ? I don’t know because I didn’t ask for your name.”
“What is your impression?”
“It was blonde with a little wiggling top.”
I did it anyway. What did you do to get kicked out?
“… … That guy is the one I sent.”
“Uh, yes? Really?”
“I should have written a letter of introduction, but didn’t you show it?”
“Come to think of it, I think I was going through my pockets to show you something. Later, he even started to take off his clothes, beat him up, and kicked him out.”
Could it be that you lost I’m so mad I can’t even speak.
“… … Do you know where he is now?”
“Even now, I am hanging around near the studio. You recently opened a stall and were selling something? It’s a hindrance to business.”
“… … Well, he’s not the kind of guy who’s going to starve to death somewhere.”
Fortunately, it’s fortunate, but the Mac is out of my jaw. what the hell are you doing
“No matter what that person’s story is, it’s true that everyone is aiming for Azmashi Workshop’s technology. You may need some countermeasures.”
Uncharacteristically, Ivan spoke quite seriously.
“is it so. In particular, there were a few spies who came to ask me to accept them as disciples from the workshop under Parabellum. They all had no guts, so they fell out on their own.”
“They tried to open the gun and check it out. Well, it seems that Azmash’s technique is not even up to the tip of his toes.”
The concept of a gun itself is still unfamiliar. It would not be easy to fully understand the structure of a firearm that had been perfected several generations ago, even for an outstanding technician in Sangvis Sangvis.
“I won’t be able to stop them from researching official firearms, but at least it would be better to stop them from trying to force themselves into the workshop. I’ll take appropriate action later.”
I said I would take action and reviewed the current situation.
‘… … It’s not as bad as I thought.’
It wasn’t as bad as I had imagined. Rather, compared to Parabellum, this side was a great advantage.
‘Currently, compared to the original Parabellum, I wonder if it’s not that big of a secret.’
Parabellum was pushed out of the selection of official firearms, and the casino case also failed. Unbeknownst to me, I dealt a pretty big blow.
‘… … But that doesn’t mean it’s not an organization that will stay calm.’
They have a criminal record for killing intelligence agents. To be honest, there’s nothing strange about trying to assassinate Ivan or the second generation.
But if I don’t, is it that I’m conscious of my existence behind me?
‘Considering what happened during the mission, it doesn’t seem like that. I don’t know yet.’
The fight against Parabellum will continue in the future. It is important to remain vigilant.
“By the way, the second generation, what is the luggage you brought?”
I took a deep breath and asked what was bothering me. As if the two had waited, he lifted the long luggage and placed it on the table.
“Did I tell you before? There’s something made with all the ideas the Crown Prince gave me.”
The two slowly unwrapped the cloth covering the luggage. Everyone’s eyes are fixed,
“Here, this is it.”
“… … Whoa.”
It appeared in the luggage.
It was an almost complete automatic rifle.
“I don’t know, but it feels like it’s going to be very strong.”
It was a black and heavy object that felt foreign to its existence in this world. I picked up the gun and touched it. The cold, heavy feeling of black iron felt somehow familiar.
‘All the skills I know are concentrated.’
Stroking the smooth, cold gun barrel, I looked inside. The swirly steel wire looked beautiful as if it had been dug out by machine. How the hell did they do it so well with the technology of this era?
“At this point, it feels even more beautiful. How is the effect of the steel wire?”
“At first, I didn’t understand the logic, but when I tried it, it became something. There was a lot of trial and error.”
“So, how high performance is it compared to standard firearms?”
“Wouldn’t it be sure to die if hit? It’s the same as dying if you get hit with a firearm. However, the engagement distance is almost 10 times more. You’ll need good aiming skills, though.”
“10 times more? It still has a longer range than most magic… … ?”
Ivan was shocked. Byte and Katyusha, who had been silent in the story, also paid attention to the gun as if surprised by the word 10 times.
Of course, even if it is 10x, compared to modern sniper rifles, it may be an ordinary or slightly inferior range for firearms. No matter how well-made it is, it will fall short of a modern rifle.
But this is not reality. It is a world of swords and magic.
Until now, in this world, there was no means to attack from such a long distance.
An existence capable of attacking unilaterally from a safe distance, completely destroying the rules of engagement in this world. That was this weapon.
I looked at my gun and thought for a moment.
‘Is it okay to have such a strong weapon?’
Suddenly, I had such a question.
“Can this be mass-produced?”
“That is a bunch. To be honest, making bullets is also difficult. One set is over.”
The two shook their heads and denied it.
“Also, even if it is mass-produced, like the small firearm I made before, there are parts that require the magic of lightning strikes to work, so ordinary people can’t use it. Stop making it clean.”
“indeed. Was that a slight sense of incongruity?”
I thought of Beretragna, who hadn’t had much to write about lately. Is it the same way it was triggered by channeling the magical power of my thunderbolt? Even if it goes on the market, it may be fortunate that it is unreasonable for ordinary people to use it.
“Well, strong force is also a deterrent. Wouldn’t that be good?”
Ivan said with a smile, as if he needed to think so seriously. It sounds plausible at first glance, but what about in practice?
There have been people in modern history who have thought like that.
He made machine guns, and on the battlefield people died faster and faster than before.
Perhaps it won’t be much different from this weapon either.
“… … In fact, I thought a lot about making it and just getting rid of it.”
The two generations also smiled bitterly, as if their thoughts were not very different from mine.
“Then why didn’t you get rid of it?”
“I thought it would be okay if I gave it to the crown prince.”
The two said with a smile.
“Let’s live up to those expectations. thanks.”
After a moment of silence, I replied with a smile.
