Kill the Villainess, Vol. 5

Kill the Villainess, Vol. 5 by Haegi

Spoilers ahead for the earlier ones.


This opens with a scene with Hubris that I didn't like -- and worse, found superfluous.

But soon after, Medea introduces herself to Kintia while Anakhin is visiting her. When Eris visits, she says so, talks about what Eris must find to succeed, warns her of hearing a bell ring, which will turn her into a witch and make leaving impossible, and tells her to keep Anakhin always beside her.

Then she advises her to go with him to see fireworks.

It involves those fireworks, meddling with time, Eris's wondering about the witches, Helena's being kind, insanity, and more.
