“Yuri...your hand,” Myalo said.

I examined the back of my right fingers and noticed blood dripping from wounds where they’d touched Jula’s teeth. The adrenaline had stopped me from noticing. The injuries seemed likely to get infected unless I cleaned them with alcohol.

“It can wait. Right now, I’ll need you to step outside, Myalo.”

“Why?”

Because I’m about to kill Luida Gudinveil. “Reasons.”

A rifle with a match cord was already in the room, leaning against the wall.

But the old woman had something to say before she died. “Spare us your nonsense. What a stupid thing to say. Myalo, you’re going to pull the trigger.”

Her suggestion had caught me completely off guard. “Have you gone mad, old hag?”

“Myalo, you have to do it. It’s an ideal opportunity for you to kill someone.”

Unless this was some sort of Spartan training that Gudinveils went through, her reasoning made no sense at all.

“Yuri, please let me do it.”

For some reason, Myalo was all for it.

“No way.”

“Please,” Myalo lowered her head. “We have to settle this as family.”

“As family”...? I wasn’t totally convinced, but I began to think it might be for the best.

“Are you sure? You won’t regret it?”

“I won’t. Please. For me, it’s like a trial I have to overcome to surpass my grandmother.” Myalo still had her head lowered, like this request meant everything to her.

“All right... Do you know how to fire it?”

“Yes, I do.” Myalo slowly walked over to the corner of the room and picked up the rifle. With its long barrel, it looked oversized in the hands of someone as small as her.

“I’ll leave it to you then.”

Myalo slowly raised the rifle, tensed her elbows, and placed the muzzle against the back of Luida’s head. “Farewell, dear grandmother.”

The moment Myalo put her finger on the trigger, a shiver ran through me like a thousand centipedes were crawling over my body. I grabbed her right hand, which was on the grip of the gun.

“Ah!” Myalo cried.

I tore her right hand away from the trigger, pressed my palm against her chest, pushed her back, and took the firearm. Then, I spun around and quickly took aim. Before Luida could turn to see what was happening, I pulled the trigger with the gun pointed at the base of her skull.

Boom!

There was the sound of gunpowder igniting, then it was as if a heavy object had struck Luida’s head. The old woman’s body collapsed onto the table, and fresh blood spurted from the gaping hole left by the bullet.

“Yuri?! What’ve you done?!”

“It wasn’t right. I couldn’t let you do it.”

There was no way I could’ve let it happen. I didn’t know why I’d even entertained the idea at all. Luida was Myalo’s own flesh and blood. We’d gotten so caught up in the atmosphere Luida had created that we’d ceased to think straight.

“But why...?”

“If you want to be the sort of witch who calmly kills her own family members, then I won’t have any use for you.”

Luida’s aim might’ve been to put her curse on Myalo.
