The gunshot caused a lot of chaos downstairs. The n were racing towards the staircase when suddenly their clothes fell off.
It took them ti to process what had happened. So realized when they stumbled over their chopped suit. So realized when they stumbled in their suit pants and so realized when a woman scread after seeing a scary man part.
Atama opened his eyes when he heard the n screaming this ti. He found everyone naked with their kimonos, robes, and suits cut to pieces. He turned to Senso.
Senso pulled the dagger back into his kimono. He moved the sheath to the dagger's blade and covered it. Then he opened his eyes. "We need to leave."
Hitori said to himself, "You are a badass… I am a badass. You are confident, I am confident. You can do this, I can do this. You are aweso, I am aweso."
He raised the gun to his chest level as he jumped to the first landing of the staircase. He held the gun straight and pulled the trigger.
The bullet created a hole right below Father's foot. Father's eyes widened, he was petrified with shock. His hands remained still in the air and the wand started slipping off.
"A... gun?" he said. He lowered his head and stared at the hole in front of his foot wide-eyed.
Hitori opened his eye. Then closed again and aid at Father's shin. He pulled the trigger.
The bullet cut through the side of Father's leg, taking a blob of his flesh, but not penetrating his bone. He did not shout, he just raised his eyes.
The three n were just as shocked as Father was. Kakashi and Eya grabbed that chance.
They exchanged glances. They were the first ones to snap out and get over the 'Gun' part.
Kakashi raised his hand at the first mber and Eya aid at the second. "Petrify!" they both shouted.
The middle man jumped and found his n turning to stone. Before Kakashi could petrify him, he jumped back and got sucked into the wall.
Then Kakashi and Eya turned to Father. Father glared over his shoulder. "You motherfuckers!" he shouted.
When the n downstairs heard the second gunshot, they reached their limit. They forgot about sha and glared across the room.
Atama raised his hand to cover his face. Senso lowered his head and moved towards Atama. "We need to leave." He grabbed Atama's hand.
One of the n pointed at Atama. "Get those bastards!"
Although the house was enchanted with the anti-teleportation spell, Atama and Senso disappeared from the funeral hall.
"Fuck them, look out for Kamiya-san!"
"Go upstairs, check on Guild Leader!"
The n, who had no sha, climbed the first part of the staircase in two seconds.
Hitori turned the gun at the staircase. The man leading the group stopped when he saw a gun pointed at his head.
"Move back!" Hitori shouted at them. Then he fired at the ceiling, then at the stair in front of the man's feet.

"That bastard is mine. Do not let him get away."
Father dropped his head. He clenched Hitori's wand. Then he laughed. Hitori turned back to the people standing on the staircase.
"This is between us, stay away—" Hitori was interrupted by what Father said next.
"Shinigami no Noroi." That ca from the porch above him. He heard it clear, but not loud.
His grip loosened on the gun and his mouth dropped open. He was not sure whether the n in front of them had heard it.
"T-they are killing guild leader!" A person at the front shouted as he drew his wand. "These murderers!"
Hitori watched as Father raised the wand at him. Kamiya flashed for a mont. His glasses slid from his nose as he chanted the Forbidden Curses.
Hitori tried to aim at Father and put a bullet in his head, but he could not move.
"Koros," he said and completed the curse.
Eya spread her hands and summoned her wand. But it was too late. Even if she cast a defense wall, she could not reach it in ti. Hitori could only be saved if he moves.
She thought of kicking the box Hitori had placed on the stair. If she sohow managed to put the box in between the beam and Hitori, it will block the curse. Right after the instant Father cast the killing curse, a hand poked out of the wall. It was the middle man.
Eya aid to kick the box, but the middle man grabbed her and threw her to the ground. She was close, though. If her legs were not this short, she might have reached the box.
She watched with a loss of hope when she saw Kakashi walk past her. He opened his mouth and shouted, "Hitori! Jump forward!"
His voice rang through the staircase and even reached the front yard left with only five to four n.
Hitori's mouth was still wide open, but his body moved on its own. He dived onto the stair in front of him.
He pulled his hands to stop him from breaking his nose or hurting his jaw. The gun smashed against the stair, but he was sure the gun was fine.
He raised his eyes at looked at Father. He was still pointing at the wall behind Hitori, but then he lowered the wand at Hitori.
His foot slipped on the stair as he tried to crawl up. He kicked each stair and reached for Father's leg.
The man leading the group had jumped behind Hitori. The beam of curse struck him and he fell against the wall. He grabbed his chest, then neck, and then his head before dying.
The person right behind him stared at his dead body. Soone behind him scread. He panicked, soon the whole mob panicked, and they left the house.
Kakashi swung a punch in Father's cheek at the sa ti Hitori grabbed his leg. The punch sent him to the side, but Hitori pulled him down the stairs.
The wand fell out of his hand. Kakashi jumped and grabbed the wand, then he turned to the middle man over Eya, trying to freeze and burn her at the sa ti. Eya was putting up a fight, but it was hard to keep up with a surprise attack.
Kakashi fired a spell at him, visible air rippled towards the man, and blew him off Eya. His hand left her neck as he flew to the end of the corridor, banged his head against the small window at the end, and fell unconscious on the floor.
Hitori pulled Father down to the landing. He saw the dead man, but that did not bother him at all. He had seen even more grueso death than this.
In fact, in his eyes, this was a normal death. A death with little pain, little suffering, and a little to pay for your sins.
