But will Angel really release a universal tool?
Midora wanted to ask, but felt it was inappropriate.
After all, they were both members of the Research and Development Institute, and asking about the specifics before someone else has launched a new product might arouse suspicion.
This caution stemmed from past experience.
Many years ago, a certain Alchemy Master was preparing to launch a new product, but the details were leaked to his rivals, who then hyped it up — not disparaging it, but excessively praising it and creating a buzz.
Anyone with insight could see this was a set-up for failure.
If in the end, he released the product as initially planned, the prevailing atmosphere would likely turn his launch into a laughingstock.
Luckily, the Alchemy Master changed his product last minute, and the new product was strong enough to avoid the trap, turning the tide in his favor.
