Horobi no Kuni no Seifukusha - Ch. 25

[Kaarme]

We don't know yet what the matriarch is planning for Myaro initially. I think Myaro's mother is more like a broken figure (she technically became a school "slut" sleeping with many boys at school) probably because she gave in to the pressure of supposedly becoming the next head/matriarch of the Gudanviel clan (probably due to the grandma's push as well) - and I suppose the grandma already gave up on her as well. Now she probably wanted Myaro to grow up ruthless (not exactly spoiled and condescending towards others), so Myaro can keep her own in the dubious industries of the underworld (just like yakuza clans in Japan which operate on the legitimate businesses as well). She probably wanted to make Myaro the next matriarch so bad that she's becoming this ruthlessly desperate. Well of course, Myaro is very talented as a witch after all, so grandma really doesn't want her gone.

It's indeed true even a more or less good person can succumb under pressure and hopelessness, to become a monster over time. Some might even work for years if not decades fooling themselves, telling themselves what they are doing isn't necessarily so bad, it just has to be done for the sake of their family, their business, and especially their employees. A mafia family does employ a good amount of goons, after all. They can't just abandon those people who have nowhere else to go. So, if they need to keep doing dubious business, it can't be helped. That sort of things.

The things is, how do you raise a successor to a criminal family? I feel like the grandma witch failed already. Myaro is a good person, after all. You need the successor to be a ruthless, heartless person. How else would they run a business of extortion, theft, and violence? Either the successor needs to be brought up as a spoiled douche looking down on everyone or as a person who lost pretty much all of their humanity (if it's correct to say that since they aren't humans in the story). The mother seemed to have become such, but the grandma's efforts, while hurting Myaro, didn't make her lose her kindness or honour. If the knight father had become a violent drunk who had beaten Myaro repeatedly, the grandma might have succeeded in creating a successor.

There probably some aspect in Myalo where we haven't seen yet, or the grandma herself want to shake things around, as remember, Myalo said her relative distance her from both her father AND her grandmother.
Even right now, some of the witches have their own thinking about the dire situation their race is facing.

I was like "wait, you want a man to be the successor? Not the mother or other female relatives?" then the bomb shell drop

 

[Beregorn]

Oh, what a surprise. Myaro was a girl all along. How could this be? I never saw that obvious cliche coming.

I just thought Myaro was a nerd so the build was nothing to indicate it. Gyat damn we got a trap!
