That day, Naomi had a strange feeling that something might happen to her sister.
She went to the house where her mother and Misaki lived.
She went inside, Misaki was not there.
She went upstairs to her mother's studio, and knocked gently.
Mei: Do you want something Misaki?
She said in a calm uninterested voice.
Naomi: No, it's me -Naomi.
Mei: Can you wait 2 hours?
Naomi: N-no, I think it is quite urgent, do you know where Misaki is, she is not at home...
Mei: I don't know, call her.
Naomi went downstairs to the living room and called Misaki.
Misaki was at the Minamiyashiki mansion, holding her gun.
She was nervous when her sister called.
Misaki: Yes Naomi, what do you want?
Naomi: Where are you Misaki?
Misaki: I went to Yuuichi Kasuga, Kozuki-san, Hirose-san and Fujitani-kun are with me.
Naomi was slightly taken aback, Misaki practically all the time she was in Yomiyama only talked to Michika, even with Yuuichi she rarely talked, Not to mention the meeting in 5 people.
Such a scenario seemed unrealistic to Naomi, she immediately sensed that something was wrong.
In the meantime, Michika got her final instructions from Mitsuharu Anju.
I think you know what to do.
Chitose and Yoshimasa are supposed to be dead.
Michika: Of course.
Soon a group of 8 armed men went inside, the shooting began.
After a brief exchange of fire, 5 of Mitsuharu's 8 men and the entire Minamiyashi crew were killed.
One of the dying crewmen, however, managed to shoot another Anju's man.
The other two and Michika decided to confront Chitose.
However, they were soon killed as well.
Misaki emerged and faced Michika.
Misaki: So you have come, traitor.
Michika: Misaki?
Don't tell me Chitose told you to take part in a literal gunfight!
Misaki: Huh?
I can ask you the same question.
Anju sent a 15-year-old girl?
Michika: I came here myself to avenge my father.
You are just a pawn of Chitose...
Michika began to approach Misaki.
Michika: Let's kill her together.
Yoshimasa is already dead anyway.
Misaki pulled out a gun and aimed it at her former friend's forehead.
Michika: Misaki, you've got to be kidding...
Misaki: The only person who deserves to die here is you.
I don't know why you want to avenge your father, however, instead of rising above this you decided to rebel.
Because of this, you lost your family again, and a friend.
Really, I didn't want to do that.
Michika felt strange, she sensed that Misaki might have been behind Kana's murder, but she shook it off and contradicted herself.
Michika: You… You killed Kana?
Misaki sighed negatively
No, it was you who killed her!
And you almost killed Kasuga.
Fury and surprise appeared on Michika's face.
Michika: Are you accusing me of killing her?
I wasn't the one who pulled the trigger...
Although I could have been there earlier and had a gun with me.
Misaki: You can't turn back time, such a f**king life
Michika: You act as if her death does not concern you at all, you have become a mindless tool to follow orders.
Misaki: I wasn't the one who came into this life, you brought me into it, and I was smart enough not to lug stupid suitcases around with me.
You could have killed me then, everyone would have thought it was a curse.
Now drop the gun.
Just twitch and I'll pull the trigger.
Michika: You're supposed to kill me anyway right?
Misaki: Maybe.
Michika: Chitose is not forgiving, I know something about that.
The damn thing is empty anyway.
Michika dropped the gun.
Michika: Just tell me...
Why?
Why did you do it and not anyone else?
They could have sent someone else, after all.
Misaki: You don't even know how far I've come, there's a chance I'll marry into the Minamiyashiki clan.
Michika: You're not even 15, and you're already thinking about marriage?
What if Naohisa breaks up with you?
Misaki: Chitose promised me that, at most she will force him to do it.
Michika: You don't even notice how you let yourself be manipulated, you're no different from the average Yandere from the average anime.
Misaki: Those were your last words?
Naomi called her friends with whom Misaki was supposed to spend time - no one was at Yuuichi's house, and in addition, no one confirmed that he was seeing her.
Naomi nervously left her mother's house and started looking for Misaki everywhere - she went back to school, where she wasn't there, to the park, and called all her friends.
No one knew anything about her.
Resignedly, she walked back through the city center, where she met Issei.
Issei: Oh, hi Naomi-san, are you okay?
You seem depressed somehow...
Naomi: I'm worried about Misaki...
She didn't come home after school.
No one knows where she might be...
I think I went through all of Yomiyama...
Issei: Is that why you called 3 hours ago?
Naomi nodded.
Issei: Well... Maybe she has I don't know... boyfriend?
Issei smiled shyly, he wanted to add "Like you might have one soon" but was afraid of rejection - Naomi was not in the best mood.
Naomi: No, she...
Issei hugged Naomi
Issei: Don't worry... She's only been gone a few hours.
She is not missing...
Naomi broke off on her feet after a while.
Naomi: Do you know where the Minamiyashiki mansion is, Akagi-kun?
Issei: Just as the name suggests - in the southern part of the city, you could even say outside the city.
Naomi: Akagi-kun... for now
I have to go now...
Issei tried to stop Naomi at least for a moment, but realized her concern.
Naomi ran as hard as she could across the city, she was even slightly hit by a car, but she kept going nonetheless.
Finally she reached the gate to the property, it was open so she entered.
Once she entered she froze, her sister was about to pull the trigger and kill Michika.
In a trembling voice out of disbelief, Naomi spoke up
Naomi: Misa-ki?
Misaki didn't even look at Naomi, her focus was on Michika, whom she held at gunpoint.
Misaki: Naomi, what the hell are you doing here?
Naomi: I….
Why do you want to kill Muneyoshi-san, and she is alive?
Misaki: Not for long, I advise you to leave unless you want to watch her brain flow out of her skull.
Naomi was shocked, horrified and angry at the same time.
She ran in between her and Michika.
Misaki had her inhibitions against shooting for a moment, as she was afraid she would shoot Naomi.
Naomi stared into her sister's eyes, poking the barrel of the gun into her forehead.
Naomi: If you want to kill her, you have to kill me first, you're not going to do that right?
Misaki: Get off.
Naomi: Put the gun down or shoot me!
Misaki had a genuine desire to obey Naomi, who had tears in her eyes saying this, however, she thought of Naohisa, "What will Naohisa think of me, that I let his parents be killed?"
After which she looked at her own sister with an expression of downright hatred for her.
Misaki: Fine, your choice.
Misaki pulled the trigger, however Naomi only felt a blast of air on her forehead.
Michika took the opportunity and hit her knocking her to the ground, then stunning her.
She also took the gun from one of the lying bodies.
Michika: Naomi, take Michika and go from there.
Naomi nodded, and tried to take Misaki on her shoulder.
Michika, in turn, walked toward Chitose's office, ensuring on the way that she has ammo.
She reached the door to Chitose's office, and gently opened the door.
Chitose: Finished?
Michika did not speak up, but she leaned her hand with the her phone - through which reflection she could see if Chitose is armed or not.
Chitose became more aggressive out of impatience and was not sober either
Chitose: I'm asking for f*ck's sake is she alive or dead?
Chitose realized that it was most likely not Misaki.
Chitose: So it is?
Chitose grabbed the grenade and threw it toward Michika.
Meanwhile, Misaki regained consciousness and began to wrestle with Naomi.
Naomi: Misaki! stop it!
Misaki: Shut your mouth!
Misaki pushed her sister away and picked up a gun, of which there were relatively many.
It pointed it at Naomi again.
Misaki: Naomi, you have a choice you can play Russian roulette now by checking if I have ammunition or walk away and survive.
Naomi: What happened to you Misaki...
Misaki: Nothing, but I see you taking steps backwards, wait here, I'll be right back.
Naomi could not believe what was happening, she realized that working as a maid was a cover-up.
And it was probably because of this job that Misaki had changed so much.
Misaki was walking toward Michika when Naomi saw a grenade flying.
Naomi: MISAKI!
Misaki also matured the grenade, however, instead of jumping away she kicked it away.
The grenade exploded not long after she dug it out, severing Misaki's leg and knocking her further away.
Misaki hit the wall hard, breaking a pair of ribs.
Naomi was shocked to see part of her sister's leg from the knee down, torn from the rest of what was left of her right leg.
In a shaky voice, she approached the semi-conscious Misaki.
Naomi: M-misaki...
A-are you alive?
Misaki was completely stunned, and was only able to stare dully at her sister.
She coughed up blood.
Naomi came closer to her mouth listening to her breathing - she was breathing, however her leg was bleeding heavily, Naomi took off her sweatshirt and ripped it making a makeshift bandage for Misaki.
Michika, on the other hand, tried to lean out after the explosion to see if Chitose was armed, however, before she could even lean out Chitose fired a round from an AK-47.
"She has a damn assault rifle?" Michika thought.
Chitose: Get out!
After which she fired a series at the wall again.
Chitose: I'll come to you right there!
Michika began to hear Chitose's footsteps, and knew that this was the perfect moment to outwit her.
She entered the next room and hid behind the door.
Chitose stepped out into the corridor holding a rifle, walked toward the stairs, paying no attention to the other rooms.
Suddenly Michika leaned out from behind - this was her chance.
Michika shot Chitose twice in the back.
Chitose reflexively let go of the gun from her hands and fell to the floor.
Michika ran up quickly and kicked the gun further away so that Chitose could not pick it up.
Michika: This is for my father.
Michika shot Chitose in the leg.
These few years, I obeyed your orders all the time, I feel guilty about how many lives were ruined by me...
And how many I had to kill.
Anyway, you will finally pay for how many people you killed, even innocent people like Mr. and Mrs. Shibaoka, who raised me as their own daughter, or Kana Ishigami, who was my best friend.
But don't worry, I have no intention of killing your sons - they are not guilty of anything.
Chitose: Shut your mouth and just do what you have to do.
Michika: Yeah, sure.
Michika shot a few times at Chitose's limbs.
Then she picked up an AK-47 and put it to her head.
Naomi heard the sound of assault rifle fire, then freaked out, she thought it was Michika who was killed.
Out of fear, she tried to pull Misaki up and run away.
But at the sight of Michika she calmed down.
Naomi: M-Michika!
Did you make it?
Michika: Yes
Michika looked around and noticed Misaki, who was in a tragic condition.
Michika: Go get help, otherwise she will die.
Naomi: But...
Michika: Relax...
Naomi eyed Michika suspiciously then went to look for someone who could help.
Michika approached Misaki and reloaded her gun.
Misaki looked at Michika with resignation.
Misaki: So the time has come for me now?
Michika: You are in a deplorable state, you won't get out of it.
Misaki, what you did is unforgivable.
But I don't want revenge.
Misaki: Oh yeah? Then why are you pointing at me?
Michika: I just want to put an end to your torment, at least this much I can do for you...
Misaki: Is that what I'm asking you to do?
Besides, you say that what I did is unforgivable, then why do you want me to have a quick death?
Are you just hiding your desire for revenge under the cover of mercy?
Michika pondered Misaki's words, then lowered her gun.
Misaki, I know that you didn't kill Kana on purpose, you were manipulated by Chitose, you were nothing more than her puppet.
Do you think Naohisa would fall in love with you if he knew what you did for his mother?
Do you think he tolerated what his mother was doing?
Misaki's tears flew at the mention of Naohisa.
Michika: Deep down I see that you are still quite innocent, but you can't turn back time.
Misaki lost consciousness, and tilted her head.
Michika sighed and pointed at Misaki again, however, at that time Mitsuharu arrived with a couple of people.
Mitsuharu: Michika, she was not aware of what she was doing...
She was blinded by her love for young Minamiyashiki...
Take pity on her.
Michika: I just want to put an end to her torment.
Mitsuharu: The police and ambulance will be here soon, I think you should go.
Michika threw away her gun, and followed Mitsuharu.
Soon the police arrived at the Minamiyashiki estate.
Twenty-two corpses were found, including Chitose Minamiyashiki and Yoshimasa Minamiyashiki, the only survivor was Misaki.
However, she had to be hospitalized immediately.
She had part of what was left of her right leg amputated.
After the operation, she regained consciousness, By her bedside stood her mother, sister and, surprisingly, her father.
Misaki looked at her father in disbelief.
Misaki: Dad? Are you alive?
Kouichi: Yes... I am alive. Fortunately, so are you...
Mei: I already thought the name "Misaki" was cursed in our family, but fortunately you are alive.
Naomi: Misaki...
Naomi hugged her sister.
Misaki was surprised why she did it, but she reciprocated.
Mei: Misaki, the police officers will want to ask you some questions, and so will I.
Misaki: Oh, well...
Kouichi: We'll be right back...
2 days earlier.
Kouichi Sakakibara returned from Europe, he had to go into hiding for a few months in Europe, he also could not make contact with his own family, he had to be "dead".
However, he finally returned to Japan, had a new phone and decided to call his family.
Mizuki did not answer, and neither did Mei.
"They're not very talkative... Probably Misaki won't answer a call from a unfamiliar number either..."
After which he called Naomi, however, she didn't answer either - he called Misaki but she didn't answer either, nor did the rest of the family.
At first he was surprised, and went to his house - it was empty.
"Impossible... Mei and the girls should be back from Yomiyama..."
"Unless..."
The realization froze Kouichi's blood, Nervously, he began to search his memory for the number to Mitsuyo - his mother-in-law.
"Wait a minute... how was it..."
He recalled the number for Kirika - he heard a message that the number did not exist - this meant only one thing, this year the class 3-3 curse must have attacked, and his family most likely dead.
"No. Impossible..." He slammed his fist against the wall of his house.
After which he took the keys out of his suit and entered the house.
He almost fell into despair when he thought he could verify it after all.
He took the car key and drove to Yomiyama.
After a few hours, he drove there.
First he stopped by Mitsuyo, asked about Misaki and Naomi.
Mitsuyo told him that Misaki had an accident at work, and was now in the hospital.
Kouichi quickly ran to the hospital, panting he saw Mei and Naomi waiting outside the room.
Mei when she saw Kouichi decided it was a phantom again - just like Shion Urushibara, Naomi wanted to speak up but Mei grabbed her hand.
Mei: This is not Kouichi, he is dead...
She whispered.
Kouichi walked closer to them,
Kouichi: Mei, what happened to Misaki...?
Can you tell me? What kind of accident at work?
Mei slightly lifted her eyepatch and froze - Kouichi was completely alive
Mei stood up, and stared with both eyes at Kouichi.
Mei: Kouichi?
Mei started to slowly approached Kouichi.
Mei: But….
But you died in Geneva right? How it's even possible?
Kouichi: It's a long story...
But I didn't die in Geneva then.
You can see it Mei, anyway.
Naomi rushed to hug her father with tears in her eyes.
Naomi: Dad… I'm so happy that you are well…..
Misaki… Misaki…
Kouichi: What happened to her?
Naomi: There was a shooting at her work...
She worked as a maid for the Minamiyashiki clan...
If I hadn't gone there in time it might have been too late...
She is in serious condition... She lost a lot of blood... And a leg.
Kouichi squeezed his daughter tighter, however, he controlled his emotions.
Kouichi: She will be fine Mei?
Mei: She won't die, but I can't see if she won't be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life...
Kouichi: The important thing is that she survived...
The next day Misaki woke up, after a brief conversation with her parents and then the police, Naomi entered her room.
Naomi: Misaki... I...
Misaki was depressed, it reached her that she almost killed her own sister.
Misaki: I am the worst sister that could exist...
Please come out...
Naomi: It's not like that Misaki...
I forgive you.
Misaki looked at her in disbelief.
Misaki: But...
Naomi: Misaki, I love you you are my twin.
You were just blinded by love and manipulated.
But I'm glad you can see that.
After these words Misaki hugged Naomi with tears, she began to cry loudly.
Naomi tried to comfort her.
Naomi: It is important that you regret it Misaki...
You are not rotten.
Misaki: I don't deserve someone like you,...
Naomi smiled slightly.
Naomi: Me neither.
Misaki: Do you really forgive me?
Naomi: Of course.
I even told the police that you were merely a victim...
Everyone deserves a second chance Misaki...
Besides...
You have a visitor.
Naomi left the room, and went out into the corridor.
In the corridor stood Naohisa, who felt Mei's hostile gaze on him.
Naomi: Minamiyashiki-san, you can come in...
Naohisa went inside.
Naohisa: Oh my god... Misaki!
Misaki: Naohisa?
Naohisa: Misaki!, So glad you are alive...
Listen, in a month you will already be in high school so...
I thought maybe we...
Misaki: Naohisa...
I failed to protect your parents...
I feel that I stabbed you in the back...
Naohisa: Misaki... My parents did many bad things, they destroyed many lives by dealing drugs...
I never supported what they did...
I know I'm going to sound like a childish son, but I felt relieved after their death...
I won't have to take part in what they did...
Misaki: Really?
Naohisa nodded.
Naohisa: Misaki... would you like...
Would you like to... become my girlfriend?
Misaki blushed.
Misaki: Oh-obviously Naohisa...!
After shooting at the mansion, Michika got into the car with Mitsuharu Anju.
They soon left Yomiyama in the direction of Tokyo.
Michika: And now what?
Mitsuharu: You have to leave Japan.
Michika: I am not of age yet.
I guess I have to live with someone where I'm going right?
Mitsuharu: You will live with Mr. Yoshizawa.
Michika: Uh, all right.
Mitsuharu: As his daughter.
Michika arrived at the airport and flew to Geneva.
At the airport she looked for Yoshizawa, she could not find him anywhere, however, after a chiwli she heard a familiar voice from behind her.
?: You have grown up, Michika.
Michika turned behind her, and experienced a shock.
She recognized a familiar face, however, a few things didn't sit right with her and she took a slight step back.
?: Ehh...
The man put on a black eye patch,
Naoki: Do you recognize me now Micchan?
Michika: Dad?
But...
Naoki: I know, it's hard to believe...
Only Mitsuharu Anju knew that I was alive...
So happy to see you again Michika...
Michika hugged her father.
Michika: I missed you... dad
Naoki: I miss you too Michika...
