# Furniture
describes a variety of servants created by those with magical abilities. They are often used as butlers or maids, and often have hidden combat abilities to double as bodyguards for their masters.
Origin.
The term is used for the first time in the story by Kanon immediately after he's formally introduced in Legend of the Golden Witch. It is then used extensively by Kanon, Shannon, and Genji Ronoue, the three servants who report to Kinzo Ushiromiya directly, through out the story.
Furniture.
The Furniture are listed under the person with whom they were first seen.
True Origin.
The term is used to refer to any beings who are less than human and was most likely created by Yasu. The descriptive term is rooted in Yasu's idea of being a lesser being to ordinary humans, equivalent to the Furniture people use to help themselves. This is probably the reason that all forms of Furniture are servants. Genji Ronoue's advice to servants that they must be faithful, yet silent and observatory as furniture are to their masters further reinforces this view.
In "Requiem of the Golden Witch", it is suggested that from a real world perspective, Furnitures were drawn by Yasu in some sort of drawing book (which could be Maria's grimoire), which explains how a drawing of Sakutarou was found in Maria's grimore during "Alliance of the Golden Witch". A majority of Furniture are also shown to be inspired by servants and coworkers that Yasu worked with in the past.
In "Answer to the Golden Witch", Ryukishi07 revealed that Shannon (and likely Kanon) sarcastically calls herself furniture because of her body being unable to love. This is a callback to Yasu's emotional outburst in the "Requiem of the Golden Witch" Tea Party, a conflict further explored in the manga-exclusive chapter "Confession of the Golden Witch".

# Furude Shrine
The is where the Watanagashi Festival is held every year and where The Three Families hold their village meetings. Rika Furude and Satoko Houjou also live there.
Description.
The Furude Shrine is situated on a hill with a large stone staircase leading up to it, and at certain places in the shrine one can get a good view of the entire Hinamizawa village. Behind the grounds is a where many tools used for the Watanagashi are stored. Far beyond the shrine is a rope bridge that leads into a forest.
There is also an assembly hall used mostly for village meetings and at other times karaoke and calligraphy practice. Behind the assembly hall is a two-story shack: the first story contains a disaster prevention storehouse while the second story is where Rika and Satoko live together.
The shrine grounds were inspired by the Shirakawa Hachiman Shrine and the ritual warehouse was inspired by the , both in Shirakawa-go.
History.
The Furude Shrine was maintained by the Furude family, as they acted as messengers for the god Oyashiro-sama. Research suggested that the shrine itself was Oyashiro-sama, as part of his name can be read as "yashiro" or "shrine"; attaching the "O" character thus means Oyashiro-sama's name is "lord honorable shrine." For years the shrine was the site for the Watanagashi, a ritual devoted to Oyashiro-sama's worship which was rumored to involve humans being dissected, tortured and finally consumed by the half-demon villagers. In the modern era, the Watanagashi has become a fun festival, with food stalls and games being set up on the shrine grounds.
During the dam conflict, the shrine's assembly hall was used as a base for the Onigafuchi Guardians to meet up, as they believed that being in the presence of their guardian deity would reinforce their opposition to the dam project.
The is where the Furude family stores ancient scrolls and many tools and implements used for the Watanagashi. The storehouse has two sets of doors so that people cannot see into the storehouse when the first one is opened. Many of the tools stored inside are cruel instruments of torture, a remnant of Hinamizawa's gory past. There is also a statue of Oyashiro-sama inside the storehouse, which had its arm broken off when Satoko accidentally fell into the storehouse from the roof at a younger age.
Only certain members of the Three Families are allowed to enter the storehouse, and even then only the head of the Furude family is allowed to read the scrolls that tell of Oyashiro-sama's past. "Matsuribayashi"'s TIP reveals that an ancient sword called the Onigari-no-ryuuou is sealed inside the storehouse, which was used by Rika's ancestor Ouka Furude to slay a demon lord, which was her mother Hanyuu in disguise and the true identity of Oyashiro-sama. The sword is sealed inside of the statue of Oyashiro-sama, with its head to split open when the Onigari-no-ryuuou needs to be wielded again.

# Gaap
is a demon with the power of teleportation, summoned by Beatrice as part of her ceremony. She first appears in "Alliance of the Golden Witch".
Appearance.
Gaap has orange hair spun into curls and wears a small red top hat with a pink bow. She wears a red dress with long red sleeves and white cuffs that completely exposes the side of her torso and legs. Gaap also wears red striped stockings and pink high heels with sharpened points on the heels.
Personality.
Gaap has a rather sultry and playful personality, as she enjoys teleporting things and people as a means of pranks. According to Ronove, Gaap likes to steal small things just to play pranks on people. She also tends to give her friends nicknames, referring to Beatrice as "Riiche" and Virgilia as "Lia", much to the latter's dismay. Gaap tends to play the role of a playful older sister to Beatrice.
Abilities.
Gaap has the ability to create portals which allow for instant teleportation. The maximum range of her portals is unknown but is assumed to very great, as she could send people from the Ushiromiya mansion all the way to Kuwadorian.
Gaap is also very agile and tends to use kicks made deadly with her sharpened heels. Through blindsiding opponents by summoning short-range portals and using her agility, Gaap is a fearsome opponent.
Gaap is capable of using Red Truth and Blue Truth at times.
Background.
Gaap was summoned by Beatrice long ago and now assists her in her ceremony.
From an anti-fantasy perspective, Gaap was created as an imaginary friend by Yasu as a personification of their habit to lose things. Yasu envisioned Gaap as the reason why their keys would always disappear and earned her help in playing pranks on servants, later seeing her as the Golden Witch Beatrice. At some point, Yasu created a new design for Beatrice and changed Gaap to be a demon.
Role in the Story.
Legend of the Golden Witch.
Gaap does not appear, however she is mentioned by Maria, who notes that the magic circle on the garden storehouse can invoke Gaap's powers of teleportation.
Alliance of the Golden Witch.
Gaap makes her first proper appearance after being summoned forth by Goldsmith. After the first twilight, she uses her power to create gaps in the floor of the dining room, sending Nanjo, Kyrie, Krauss, Kanon, and Shannon into a dungeon in Kuwadorian.
Later on, she tests George for the inheritance of the Ushiromiya family. She fights against him for some time and outwits him in the end by opening a gap when Jessica was about to hit Ronove's shield and gets her and George to attack each other simultaneously, killing both instantly.
End of the Golden Witch.
Gaap helps Beatrice save the illusion of Kinzo. When Kinzo was locked up in his study and risked destruction by Erika, she proposed to stay with him and, in case things went bad, she could make both of them dissapear with one of her gaps. However, Beatrice hinted at the danger they were in and refused to let Gaap take care of the situation since she was also at risk. She becomes impressed with Battler's salvation of Beatrice, sighing in admiration for him.
She later assists in the witch trial called by Erika and Bernkastel and calls Beatrice to her senses trying to make her give up the game and spare her life. However Beatrice decides to go for it all so Gaap can do nothing but watch Beatrice die and her illusion disappear.
Dawn of the Golden Witch.
Gaap, along with all of Beatrice's entourage, tried to solve Battler's Logic Error issue and get Beatrice to the wedding for her final showdown with Erika. When Beatrice won the love trial against Erika, she hugged her with joy along with Virgilia, Ronove and the Seven Purgatory Sisters.
Requiem of the Golden Witch.
Gaap is revealed to be a mere illusion of Yasu's, created to justify with magic the incidents that occurred whenever Yasu was distracted during their job. Representing the playful nature of the Golden Witch Beatrice, from a magical point of view Gaap loves to play pranks on all the servants, especially on Yasu who is an atypical person.
She's first shown teasing Yasu over a cleaning tool in the Chapel. Gaap's presence is detected by them, who begs for her to return the small broom Yasu had been using to clean. After that day, Yasu and Gaap become friends, even though Gaap still pulled pranks on her new friend. When Yasu becomes responsible thanks to the "charms" Kumasawa gave the young servant, Gaap willingly changes their game to a challenge where Yasu must find the criminal of the story while reading mystery novels. If Yasu could find out the tricks and the criminal before reading the solutions, Yasu and the human side would win; failure would mean that the witch and the magical side won and the case would become a fantasy novel drowning the darkness of magic.
One day, Gaap took possession of Yasu's body to play a prank on a servant; amazed by the beauty of magic, Yasu decided to become a witch as well. They took on the name Beatrice and the title of the Endless Golden Witch, transferring to Beatrice some of the witch's characteristics such as her cackling laugh and the butterfly minions, while Gaap would become a new witch (nameless until Beato could think of a name) and Beatrice's friend in the golden "paradise". Gaap gains her name only after Beatrice meets Maria, who gives Gaap her current name and her role as a demon. Afterward, Gaap is depicted as she is in all the previous games in the series.
Twilight of the Golden Witch.
Gaap attends Battler's Halloween party and later informs him and Beatrice of the goats devouring Rokkenjima, taking them to a spot overlooking the island.
During the battle in the Golden Land, Gaap takes part in battling goats and is killed when the Golden Land crumbles, later revived by Ange.
Other Appearances.
Umineko no Naku Koro ni Tsubasa.
Gaap makes a short cameo in Beatrice's White Day when she suddenly emerges from a refrigerator and asks Beato why she's making Valentine's chocolate on White Day. This makes Beato realize that Virgilia's magic to turn back time was a lie.

When he was young, Gabriel was at summer school when his family got into a head-on collision with a car full of mafia men, who drove away from the scene; Gabriel's parents died while his sister survived, being taken to the hospital. Gabriel went to visit his sister every day as soon as he could, and one day he found her dead in her room, believing that she was killed by the same mafia men in disguise.
Ever since, Gabriel has held a deep hatred for criminals and anybody who would join the mafia. Even after hearing that the people who killed his family died in a shootout, Gabriel made it his mission to eradicate crime, joining the American army and rising through the ranks.
Role in the Story.

Gabriel is introduced in 1949, where he plans to stop crime in City 23 and takes control of the occupying forces headquarters after revealing that he has evidence of corruption among the higher-ranking officers, including Butler. He places Butler under house arrest at GHQ, having his phone calls and actions monitored at all times. Gabriel later meets with Primavera and the GDS after Rose forms the City 23 distribution association, getting the idea that Stella and Meixue are vital components to their respective groups.

Gabriel later orders the assassination of the man who forged the letters to ensure that nobody can figure out his involvement in it. He also learns that Butler's sister is getting engaged and uses it as more leverage to keep Butler submissive.
After hearing that Yuuji's condition has improved, Gabriel obtains some Chinese poison and arranges for Yuuji to die a horrible death by it; Richard completely becomes convinced that the GDS is responsible and allies with Gabriel.
In 1950, Gabriel meets with Meijiu, who has started to realize that Gabriel is the true mastermind between the Primavera-GDS feud and shares some painful words.

Gabriel promises to keep the American police out of the way so that Richard can claim his revenge.

The two then have a shootout in Gabriel's office, where Richard is ultimately killed. Butler then arrives and uses Richard's gun to shoot Gabriel, making it seem like Richard still had some life left in him.
As Gabriel dies, Butler blames him for doing something to his sister; in the end, Gabriel's crimes are never brought to light.

# Gambit
Gambit is the thirteenth episode of the and the second episode of Banquet of the Golden Witch.
Synopsis.
Rosa recounts meeting Beatrice as a teenager, coming across a mansion hidden in the forests of Rokkenjima. As Battler ponders the significance of this story, Beatrice unveils a shocking truth. Soon after, Beatrice goes to collect sacrifices for the first twilight only to encounter an old acquaintance.
Plot Summary.
First Half.
At 21:05, Rosa recounts how she met and killed the human Beatrice, who was living in a hidden mansion. Twenty years ago, Rosa was running through the forests of Rokkenjima after receiving a harsh scolding from her mother, wanting to get away. She believed in the story of the witch Beatrice living in the forest, hoping to find her and earn her help. Rosa eventually comes across a giant fence, stretching far off into the forest; she finds a gap in the fence created by an overgrown tree and climbs through. She then finds a beautiful mansion and garden, with Beatrice sitting by herself in the middle. Rosa approaches her and apologizes for entering without permission when Beatrice notices her. Rosa introduces herself and Beatrice is in awe, asking if she's Kinzo's relative. She offers Rosa a seat, and Beatrice then introduces herself as the witch of the forest; Rosa comments that she had a pompous attitude but seemed childish and ignorant of the outside world. Beatrice and Rosa then talked a lot about many things, like how Kinzo came to visit her every few days and how she wasn't allowed to go into the forest because wolves lived there.
Rosa says there aren't any wolves in the forest, much to Beatrice's surprise; Rosa herself has never even seen them in a zoo. Beatrice then asks what a zoo is. Rosa explains that a zoo has various animals in cages, with Beatrice lamenting how that sounds just like her. Rosa looks surprised as she says this, with Beatrice explaining that everyone calls her Beatrice, which is apparently the name of a great witch, even though she's just human.
Beatrice looks into the sky, asking who she really is and if she's really fated to live in the mansion her entire life. Rosa then suggests taking Beatrice outside the fence. Rosa reassures her that there aren't any wolves, and that she'll definitely be safe. Beatrice thinks for a bit and then accepts her offer, wanting to be free from Kinzo and black dresses.
Inside the metaworld, Battler ponders everything he just saw. The witch Beatrice explains that this human Beatrice was created by Kinzo, a cage made of flesh. Kinzo had bound Beatrice to the island after summoning her, and the only way to escape was to "discard her body." Battler expresses his disbelief in her story and Beatrice leaves him, looking disappointed. Ronove then appears to tell Battler that Beatrice's soul, after she killed herself, was taken by Kinzo and placed into a human body. Ronove then states that a hidden mansion called Kuwadorian does exist in the forest of Rokkenjima. Battler questions Ronove's use of red, and he asks him to keep it a secret from Beatrice. Battler then gestures towards the memory of Beatrice as a human, asking if it's really true; Ronove confirms that in the year of 1967, Beatrice existed as a human in the hidden mansion on Rokkenjima.
Battler considers the meaning of this as the scene cuts back to Rosa and Beatrice, standing on a cliff looking at the ocean. Rosa wants to go down the cliff and walk along the beach. Beatrice follows but trips and falls over, with Rosa helping her up. They go down the cliff with Beatrice asking if there's an aquarium at the sea; Rosa tells her that she'd have to leave the island for that. Suddenly, the ground under Beatrice gives way and she falls down the cliff. Rosa calls out to her, but gets no response; she reaches the bottom of the cliff where Beatrice fell and finds her lying dead, a pool of blood around her head. Rosa breaks down crying as a ghostly Beatrice appears behind her and looks at the top of the cliff; Beatrice's soul realizes that she has escaped Kinzo's clutches, regaining her memory as the Endless Witch. As Rosa runs off, Beatrice expresses her gratitude and flies away as a golden butterfly, laughing happily.
Battler stands around the memory of Beatrice's corpse, still in disbelief over what happened. The witch Beatrice returns and tells him that it (the human Beatrice) is most certainly dead. Battler is shocked to hear that a 19th person really did exist, but they're already dead. Beatrice laughs and then proclaims that no more than 18 humans exist on this Rokkenjima. Battler stares in disbelief as Ronove comments on how Beatrice used that move early, expecting her to let Battler flounder around some more beforehand. Battler can't accept that one of his loved ones might be the culprit, thinking that one of them must be Beatrice in disguise. Beatrice notes how she's going to corner Battler at the end and continues laughing at him as he yells out in frustration. The clock strikes 24:00.
Second Half.
Shannon sits alone in the arbor, ecstatic that George has proposed to her. Genji and Kanon appear, calling her to Kinzo's study. Inside, Kinzo is playing chess with Beatrice. Genji bows to her as Ronove appears; he comments on how long it's been since he last saw Genji, greeting Shannon as well. Ronove then introduces himself to Kanon, who's never seen him before. As Kinzo stresses over what move to make, Beatrice announces that she has some good news and bad news. The good news is that Kinzo was fortunate enough to reunite with her before the ceremony finished; the bad news is that Kinzo will be the first sacrifice. Kinzo grows even more agitated as Beatrice takes her white queen and places it down, putting his king in checkmate. After this move, Kinzo stands up and bursts into flames, laughing maniacally before falling dead. Beatrice notes how the first twilight requires 5 more sacrifices, and Kanon realizes that she's going to kill him and the others. Beatrice sees it as a form of gratitude, freeing the furniture from their days of strife; Shannon and Genji bow in response. Genji then notices George's ring on Shannon's finger and asks if she has any regrets; Shannon has none, finding it enough that she could accept the ring. Beatrice scoffs at her remark, hoping for her to shed some tears. Beatrice then expresses her interest in Kanon, summoning Lucifer of Pride.
Beatrice proposes a deal: if Kanon can defeat the Seven Stakes of Purgatory, he'll be able to choose which 2 people will survive becoming sacrifices. Kanon ponders this as Shannon tells him to ignore the witch, that she's just playing with him. Kanon thinks it's a good deal, citing his desire to become human and have normal love; he wants to see the ocean is blue, just like Shannon. Beatrice, excited at Kanon's youthfulness, tells everyone to step back as Kanon and Lucifer take their positions. They both summon their swords and exchange blows; Lucifer dodges all of Kanon's strikes until he gets a lucky swing, slicing a hole into Lucifer's clothes. She's surprised that Kanon can fight on par with her, but Kanon says she's weak because of her arrogance. Lucifer tries a final attack but Kanon presses his blade to her throat, and Beatrice congratulates him. Ashamed and angry, Lucifer transforms into a stake and attacks Kanon. She grazes him several times before aiming straight for his heart, and Kanon blocks her with his hand. Kanon pulls Lucifer out of his hand and throws her to the side; he claims victory and asks Beatrice to make good on her promise. Beatrice reminds him that he had to defeat "all "Seven Stakes, and then summons the others.
The other Stakes make fun of Lucifer as she stands up, adding more to her humiliation. Having had enough, Lucifer attacks Kanon again, this time with the other Stakes. They cut him from all sides as Shannon jumps in to protect him, creating a barrier to repel all the Stakes. As the demon girls intensify their attack, Kanon starts fainting from blood loss. He tells Shannon that she didn't need to help him, but she doesn't mind; she lived as a woman after receiving George's ring and lived as a sister protecting Kanon, and can now truly die without regrets. Beatrice becomes outraged at how Shannon and Kanon can talk about their lives as if they're more fulfilled than hers and Shannon takes pity on her, thinking that Beatrice is showing her own regrets. The Stakes' attacks intensify even more as Beatrice continues insulting them, and Genji then steps inside Shannon's barrier.
Genji asks for Shannon to rest, placing his hand over her heart and creating rose petals; she thanks him and falls over dead. Genji does the same for Kanon, creating rose petals over his heart and euthanizing him as well. Beatrice laments how she wasn't able to give the two of them a painful death like she wanted. Ronove thanks Genji for his service as furniture, and snaps his fingers; Genji falls over dead as well. Ronove then tells Beatrice how unfitting it was for a Great Witch like her to get so stirred up by Shannon's words. Beatrice scoffs at his remark, and Ronove notes how 2 more sacrifices are required for the first twilight; Lucifer and the Stakes head out.
At 24:20, Gohda shines a flashlight through the kitchen, having heard strange noises. He then looks at the pots and pans, which are shaking violently, and the Stakes emerge from them. Gohda tries to run, but the Stakes kill him before he can escape. The Stakes set out to claim Kumasawa as the final sacrifice.
Kumasawa is standing out in the middle of the rose garden by herself. Golden butterflies fly around her, transforming into the Stakes and attacking her; Kumasawa repels all of them with a barrier. The Stakes are surprised at Kumasawa's sudden magical powers, to which she responds that she's waiting for "that child"; they realize she's talking about Beatrice. The Golden Witch then appears with Ronove and tells the Stakes to stand back. Kumasawa greets the two of them, and Beatrice explains that she is her former teacher. The Stakes are in awe to hear this as Kumasawa changes into her true form: the silver-haired Beatrice.
Teaser.
Ronove narrates the preview, giving a special treat to the viewers by telling them one of Beatrice's dirty little secrets. When she was still a child, Beato created such a splendid "world map" on her bed sheets every night that she became known as the Golden Witch Peeatrice, feared by humans far and wide. Ronove says the next episode title and remarks that the former Lady Beatrice was Beato's teacher, thus she was her bed-wetting teacher; Betty for short. He hears what sounds like a scream, and Ronove asks who it could be this late at night, saying that he's on his way.

# Game Board
A is a setting defined by a set of characters (pieces) who act according to predefined rules, and two or more key characters (players) who try to influence the events that take place to gain their desired outcomes.
General Concept.
Game boards can be seen as a specific set of Fragments centered around a single location. While game boards can have infinite, random variables affecting the events within, there are Rules that are consistent. Discovering these rules and overcoming them is the key to winning game boards.
Game Boards in Umineko.
uses the concept of game boards and pieces in a literal context, as the mystery on Rokkenjima is presented as a game played between beings on a higher dimension, the Meta-World.
Pieces in "Umineko" have a meta-world counterpart that controls their piece counterpart, however this only applies to magical characters such as witches, demons and the like. Most Human pieces only exist on the game board and are controlled by the Game Master whenever appropriate. While Battler himself exists in the meta-world, the level of control he has over his piece counterpart is unclear.
It is also said that pieces can only do things possible for their original selves and act according to their original personality, however no example of a piece "disobeying" their original self has ever been shown. Furthermore, the existence of Black Battler shows that even a person as kind-hearted as Battler can be made into a cruel piece.
Game boards in "Umineko" also involve the usage of Red Truth, which is used to declare factual information. If the Game Master is not careful with their Red Truths and end up contradicting the story, then Logic Errors are created. The Game Master or pieces involved will become trapped until they can solve the error.

When creating a tale, the Game Master must always avoid creating a Logic Error or the game will instantly be destroyed.

Transcript.
After EP5, Battler has finally become Game Master...In a way, it wouldn't be odd to consider Battler, who now has a commanding view of the game board and can freely spin the story, a god-like existence...However, unlike the God of our creed, it isn't easy being Game Master.After all, he must decide everything, and draw everything himself. It isn't an occupation where he can just leisurely smile down on the world from above the clouds. The stage of Beato's game board is a small island, entangled in complicated rules and with a mere two day time limit. Spinning that story isn't easy.
At first, Battler had been laidback, believing he could mold the story however he wanted, but he soon realized that was a naïve way of thinking."Geez... This is a more of a pain than I expected.""Ohohoho! Isn't it, isn't it? People who don't know the truth think you can slap together a story however you want, but it's a real feat! Putting together a scenario for a whole episode while still making sure everything matches up with the rules of Beato's game board is really hard!"Lambdadelta, who had been in charge during the previous game in EP5, swaggered around in delight that someone finally understood her hardships.
"...At any rate, there's a whole lot of characters. Trying to give them all some kind of part while still moving the story forward is pretty tough, like I'm a director or a producer or something...""Well, you've got to partition the screentime. After all, by now we've got more characters than a single school class. If you try to give everyone a big role, it'll just turn into a huuuge mess."
Just the sheer number of characters made writing the story difficult.With Battler and Beato as the axis of the story, if there were just 1 to 2 other characters, it would make things much simpler, but..."You say that, but what should I do? There are dozens of characters, you know?""You're a real dummy, you know? Try using your head a little like Lambdadelta-chan-sama here, your he--a--d-- ...hey, ouch! I didn't say to hit me on the head, stupid!""Shut up. My head's hurting just trying to think over here. Stop chirping and clamoring around...! If you don't quiet down, EP6 is never gonna get started! Just come out and tell me if you know of a good strategy.""Geez, you can't fight with a Game Master...! But I've got nothing left to tell you. You already know the answer, don't you?""Huh? Hey, wait! Don't escape in a puff of smoke! ...damn, she ran off."
She was the previous Game Master, after all. Maybe I should have acted a bit more modestly and gotten some tips and tricks out of her.
Well, no point in regretting it now that she's gone. I'll start building the scenario from scratch again...
Who is it this time?"Hey--, it's open---. I don't want bean jam or anything, so bring me a plot summary instead--""...Battler-sama. I apologize for disturbing you when you are busy.""Oh, if isn't Genji-san. And just as I thought, Kumasawa-baa-chan, Gohda-san, and Doctor Nanjo, too. It's like all the adult servants are here.""It has been awhile, Battler-sama. This is Gohda.""Hohoho. If you're trying to think up the next plot, that's quite convenient.""In that case, I believe we can be of help to you, Battler-san. This is truly fortunate.""Hmm? I don't really get it, but if you've got any ideas to share, I'll accept 'em gladly. Oh, hey, what's with that stack of boxes you've got there? What's inside of them?""...When one is deep in thought, they often start to crave sugar. Gohda made use of his skills to provide you with refreshments, Battler-sama.""You don't dislike sweets, do you, Battler-sama...? If so, I, Gohda, apologize for...""Hohoho! Of course not, of course not. From pudding to almond jelly to anything else, Battler-sama just loves sweets.""We heard you were having quite a bit of trouble. We thought this might be a good opportunity for you to take a short break. Rather than medicine or examinations, the most important thing for maintaining your ability to concentrate is rest.""...Then if you will allow me, I will set the table."
Just what you'd expect from the adult servants. They tidied up the desk nimbly, took out various colorful desserts from the stack of three boxes, and in the blink of an eye, brightened up the dim study by laying out a smorgasbord of desserts."Come, come, eat up. If you can settle for this decrepit old lady, perhaps I could spoonfeed you as well? Ohohohoho!""Sorry, but I think I'll just feed myself. Let's all dig in! Oh, you even made black tea...! That's really thoughtful of you!""...Help yourself, Battler-sama. ...I have served the Master and Beatrice-sama for a long time. ...Therefore, I know how difficult it is to spin the tale of the game board.""No one had yet congratulated you on your promotion to Game Master, Battler-san. Please think of this as a gift and courtesy visit from us elderly.""Oh, don't call yourselves elderly...! I'd never slight my seniors in life. Come on, let's eat, let's eat. Gohda-san, you don't need to be so humble, let's eat together!""Thank you very much. Then please allow me...""Hohohoho. What a blessing, what a blessing. Ah~, it's delicious. I feel like my cheeks might cave in... ♪"
Like they said, a rest might be exactly what I need.I'm not coming up with any new ideas and my concentration is just getting worse. It's not like I'll get anywhere just sitting in front of the desk with my arms folded.
While thanking his seniors in life for their concern, Battler forgot about the heavy responsibility of the Game Master for a bit, and improved his mood by leisurely chatting and enjoying himself...
"...By the way, Battler-san. How are the preparations for EP6 coming along?""Hmm. I've got no idea, honestly. ...I was complaining to Lambdadelta about this before, too, but this story has way too many characters. I want to give everyone some time to shine, but... It's way too hard to fit all that into a scenario for just one episode... ...Huh? Come to think of it, didn't you guys say that it was convenient that I'm still trying to think up a plot?""Y...Yes, about that, well..."
Gohda and Kumasawa, even at their age, laughed shyly. When Battler stared at them blankly, wondering what was up, Genji spoke with dignity.
"...Battler-sama, have you seen the results of the most recent popularity poll?""Huh? Oh, yeah, our sponsorship's popularity poll, right?! I got first place in that, hahaha... I'm flattered..."Usually, in a game like this, I think the heroine would come out on top.It's really rare to see the main male character in first place... Ah, well, I guess that was the case with Keiichi-kun from "Higurashi," too...
"...The one who fared the best among us, Gohda, came in 22nd place. Doctor Nanjo came in 48th. Kumasawa was in 53rd...""Hohoho... Well, maybe that was the right ranking for a senile old lady like me.""What about Genji-san?""He was in 41st. ...Well, it may just be difficult for us to contend with the younger generation.""From the first episode, you guys have all been stuck in horrible roles, and took them on without complaining even once... It's kind of sad you're ranked that low. Especially when that annoying bitch Erika managed to get 6th place without doing anything halfway decent, you know?""It is a popularity poll, after all... ...I know I'll never be able to contend with the beautiful young ladies..."
Wearing bitter smiles, everyone deflated a little...
The fun time we had been having eating desserts and drinking black tea...seemed to wither away and end quietly.I want to cheer everyone up somehow...
"Ah... I'm such an idiot. I'm the Game Master, aren't I? ...In that case! To boost your popularity, I can just give you guys more screentime...!"
Everyone perked up and broke into a smile...I get it. So they all came here to make an appeal to me.In "Umineko," where the younger generation stands out more, the adults don't usually get a huge role...Especially the older servants, who are often killed on the first twilight. And, well, even when they do survive, all the good parts are usually snatched away by me and Beato, so they never really get their chance to shine.
"Man, I've been pretty thoughtless... If I sympathize with you about the popularity poll results, I should try and do something about it. Popularity is proportional to how much screentime you get...! Sorry for not realizing that sooner...! It seems you guys were really unfortunate in Beato and Lambdadelta's scenarios, but now that I'm Game Master there's been a change in command...! Just leave it to me. To make your popularity go way up, I'll make sure to give you guys tons of scenes!"...Easier said than done. What should I have them do, anyway? In a world of magic battles and reasoning battles, where can I fit them in...?
"...In that case, I'll ask you guys instead. What kind of role do you want? This is my thanks for that delicious dessert. I'll give you anything you ask for!""In that case... Please allow me to do something in the kitchen!"
"Well, of course. But if your only role is to cook, you won't get to do much after the murders start, right...?""No, no, please leave it to me...! If it's in the kitchen, I can't lose! What if I were to take part in a huge battle wielding kitchen supplies...?!""You can appear completely useless just before the scene, and end up getting cornered in the kitchen. But when someone insults your cooking tools, the strength of your rage will manifest and you will turn the tables on your opponent! Ooh, that does sound like it will appeal to the young ones!""And my catchphrase will be: 'I can't lose in the kitchen!' How does that sound...?!""Yeah, that's not bad. The chef Gohda-san will use his aikido techniques to blow away the swarm of goats! Then if we make sure to play some pumped up battle music there, the scene's sure to stick in everyone's minds! Alright, it's decided. I'll definitely make preparations for Gohda-san's awesome battle scene!""Oooooh! Thank you very much, thank you so much!""What do you want to be, Kumasawa-baa-chan? Is it gonna be that? The perfect servant who's always stealthily witnessing the key scenes from a crack in the door?!""Hohoho...! I think a role that makes use of my age and experience would be most fitting... Because of my plentiful life experience, I immediately sense that something seems out of place at the crime scene, and find the key to solving the mystery... ...However, the culprit discovers this, and silences me in a heartrending scene. I leave behind a dying message, 'Ah, track down the culprit~~!' Tada!""Wahaha, that sounds pretty grim! I'll take it! Let's put you in that role, Kumasawa-san. It's pretty easy to make you stand out with a big, dramatic death scene. I'll make it a real tearjerker!"
Going along with the trend, Nanjo will perform a super surgical operation using only the supplies he always carries on him, and become a super surgeon. On top of that, inside his doctor's robe he carries a ton of scalpels and drugs, so he'll be okay even if he has to fight. Kind of like Black Jack.Genji-san will play the part of the cool supporting character. He'll be making a cocktail or something in the guesthouse lounge, reminiscing about the old days.He won't get a battle scene, but a really strong enemy character will say something like, "Y-You're Genji...?! That's impossible, you should have died...!" and give us a glimpse of how awesome he was in the past."...Alright. This time the adult servants will get to do all sorts of stuff. With your plentiful life experience and cunning wit, you'll be able to leave a scratch on the 1000-year-old witch and her crew...! Thanks, everyone! Now that I know what direction to take the story, I might start getting more ideas...!""That's wonderful...! It seems we've been able to be of use to you, Battler-san.""...Well then, we should probably take our leave. If we stay much longer, we'll get in the way of your writing...""Yeah, thanks for being concerned for me! And thanks for collaborating with me! I'll be sure to write an awesome scenario and give you guys enough spotlight that you'll all rank in the top 10 in the next popularity poll!"
Gohda, Kumasawa, and Nanjo...and even Genji were all choked with tears of gratitude. Battler, in order to clear away their long-standing regrets, immersed himself even more in the production of EP6's scenario...
Who is it this time? ...This time it was a really unexpected character.
"Well? Are you making any progress on the new scenario?""Aunt Eva's middle school...no!! You're the witch EVA, aren't you?! What did you come here for?""That's some greeting... Which previous episode was the most popular? It was EP3, riight? And why do you think that scenario was so exciting? It was because of me, the rival character. If you have a wonderful scenario, you need to have a wonderful rival to go with it! And even if you wouldn't expect it, I got 8th place in the last popularity poll! Staying in the top 10 when I've had almost no screentime since EP3, don't you think that's just impressive? Ufufufufufufu! As long as you allow it, I can show up in EP6 and make things even more exciting. *giggle*giggle*giggle* Why don't you just give me a role~?!""No thanks. The rival I have is good enough.""W-Why?!""She fits the role of annoying rival just perfectly. In her nastiness and perversion, she far outshines you.""W-What's with thaaaaaaaat?!"
He had promised to confront Erika in the next scenario, so he had unofficially offered her a part. In other words, the position of rival was already filled. So he had no idea where he could place EVA, someone whose character overlapped with Erika's.Additionally, EVA, who had seemed like a pretty irritating character when she made her debut in EP3, now seemed almost dull in comparison to Erika.After all, Erika, the type of character who would resort to cheap tricks, set the bar very high.
"Well, that's how it is. Unless there's a bug in the script for the sprites or something, you won't be showing up.""Y-You're saying I'm inferior to this Erika girl?! How?! Why?!""...She's pretty much got all the specs. She's annoying. She's pathetic. Most importantly, she's a pervert. It's almost too much for one character.""W-What?! Are you trying to say I've lost my impact?! Are you're saying I'm not as good a character?!"
"...I mean, she's a pervert who changed into a swimsuit to climb the walls and stick duct tape to windows in the pouring rain... Erika came in 6th place in the popularity poll, and you came in 8th. But she still got almost double the amount of votes as you, you know...?""S...so what... So you're saying that young girls can get votes just by wearing a swimsuit?!"
"It's 'cause men are weak against exposure. Even shortening your skirt a bit would be enough. Erika's only reaches her knees, but yours is a long one. In this age of zettai ryouiki, you can't get anywhere without socks, tights, or thigh highs. Your hairstyle's also pretty plain. Erika's instantly popular twintails are a huge improvement. Against her skirt, hairstyle, exposure, and perverted nature, you've got no chance. She's totally got you shoved into the background. I can't think of a reason why I should try and work you into the story.""G-Gaaaaaaaaah!"
Character overlaps with Erika's↓
Never makes an appearance again!↓
Fired from "Umineko"!↓
Abandoned on a roadside↓
Starvation↓
Death!
"I-I don't want thaaaaaaat! Please, oh please, Battler-sama...! I'll do my best, so please give me a part...! Pleaaaase give me a part! If the length of my skirt is the problem, I'll fix it! If my hairstyle is the problem, I'll fix it! If it's exposure and a perverted nature you want, I'll do as you say, so please give me a part, Battler-samaaaaaa!"
"...You said you'd change the length of your skirt. ...By how much, exactly?""Uh...um...te...ten centimeters…"
With a snap of Battler's fingers, EVA's skirt shrank 10 centimeters. Even so, it was still fairly long.
"A...another ten centimeters...""Soon it's gonna reach your knees. Are you sure that's enough for you...?""...P...Please...make it shorter..."
The skirt became shorter and shorter. In the end, it was so short that she had to frantically pull down the hem with both hands to keep her panties from being seen. It was too short to even be called a mini-skirt...!
"Well, I wonder if just fixing your skirt is enough to make you competition for Erika. What about your hair, hm?""Y...Yes... I...I'll put on a wig, and wear...twintails...""And how about the exposure and perverted nature? Ihihihihi~!"
Battler finally remembered that he was not just a mere scenario writer, but the god called Game Master.That's right! Here, I am God! I'm free to do whatever I want. Anyone who crosses paths with me won't be given a part!And thus, Battler sank into the dark temptation that plagued all witches...
Finally, EVA's dress had been remodeled into a super short mini-skirt, and she was wearing black knee-socks to match. Her hairstyle had been changed into twintails, and on top of that, she had even agreed to show up on screen with cat ears, a bell collar, a sailor uniform, and bloomers with a tail attached for a special punishment game outfit...But even with such harsh conditions thrust upon her, EVA, who didn't want to lose her part, groveled on the floor and thanked Battler profusely.Battler, who said with an attitude like that of a feudal lord that he would graciously grant her a part, had become a wicked magistrate of a Game Master, to the point where even Beato would have been surprised..."Wahahaha! I am the new Game Master, Battler-sama! Anyone who wants a part, come forward and apply! Anyone who opposes me won't get any screentime~ Uhahahaha!"
This time, Rudolf and Kyrie showed up.
"Yo. Battler~ We're your family, right? So we'll get a part, won't we?""The story has finally reached its second half. It's time for the human side's counterattack. We're quite enthusiastic about it ourselves.""Kyrie-san, sure, but I wonder about the old bastard~?""D-Don't say that...! C'mon, I'll buy you whatever you want! I'll have a change of heart and become a really good daddy after this! Okay? Okay?! C'mon, Kyrie can steal scenes with her great detective work. And I could be the aloof action hero, c'mooon!""Guess I've got no choice. Be grateful to this generous Battler-sama here. I'll grant that wish of yours!"
Next was Krauss, Natsuhi, and Jessica.
"H-Hello there, Battler-kun... Natsuhi, Jessica, and I... Would it be possible for you to give us a part, too...?""...I-It is not that we want to steal the spotlight. If you could just depict us as an intimate family, that would be enough...""I want to be involved in the battles. Let's kick up a ruckus and beat up the witches and demons together!""Hmmm~ I'll grant that, but only on one condition.""W-What is it...?""Aunt Natsuhi...uh...I want you to become my lap pillow... A-And then...can I call you M-M..."Mother"...? I-It's not like I'm gonna force you into it, though, okay...? Well, if you can, I'd like you to be wearing a swimsuit... Ah, and I'll provide the swimsuit myself...! How about a school swimsuit?! Of course, you don't have to do it. After all, I've got to find the six people to kill off on the first twilight from somewhere, hihihihi~!""B-Battler, you asshole, what do you think you're saying to my mom?!""I'm not going to force you to do it, okay~? After all, I'm the great Game Master~!""...Kuh... I...I understand... ...I...I will...wear a swimsuit...and act as your...lap pillow...""Oh yeaaaaaaaaah!"
Next, George's family arrived carrying a box of cakes."D-Do you, um...have conditions for our family to get screentime, too?""I'll do anythin'...! Please, ya gotta give our family a part! Pleaaaase!""You don't have to give me and my husband a part...! But please, at least give George a wonderful role!""Alright. I gueeess I'll give George-aniki a kickass battle scene.""R-Really?! Thank ya, Battler-kun! Thank ya so much!""However! Guhihihi! I'll be borrowing Aunt Eva for one night! Along with that glamorous, outrageously sexy body of hers, ihihihi! I'll have you cook for me in a bunny girl outfit, and maybe pour me an evening drink~ Nufufufufufu!""N-No way...! Leave Eva outta this! I'll do anythin' else you want...!""I...It's alright, dear... ...If it's for George...I..."
As Battler became more and more carried away, Rosa appeared before him.
"Battler-kun... Um...about Maria's part...""Gufufufu! Of course I don't mind giving her one, but Aunt Rosa? If you ask someone for a favor, you've got to pay them back, right?""T...This is...a gym uniform...? Wh...What do you want me to wear this for...?""Aunt Rosa, I think I'll have you wash my back while wearing this gym uniform~ Guhyahyahyaaah!"
"...This is terrible... To think Battler-kun would succumb to the dark side of being Game Master...""He's gone on such a charming rampage. Pukuku...!""Oh, it's Ronove and Virgilia, huh? I owe you guys one. Don't worry, I'll make sure to give you guys screentime next episode without any strings attached.""Oh my, really? I'm truly grateful.""No matter what you may think, I'm a man who doesn't forget his debts. Ihihihi!""...Battler-kun. Everyone wishes for a part so much that they've become desperate. Please stop toying with those feelings...""Even if it's your request, Virgilia, I'm afraid I can't comply~☆ After all, I don't forget my debts, but I don't forget my grudges either~! Oh, right, Ronove. This is a notice. Post it somewhere for me.""Certainly. ...Oh my, what is this?"
[The Seven Sisters of Purgatory won't be getting any screentime. If anyone has any objections, come talk to me.]
...If something like this were posted, there was no doubt the Seven Sisters would run off to see Battler.But since they had been in every episode since EP2, they had all felt fairly secure as the popular Seven Sisters of Purgatory.So why would they suddenly not show up at all in this scenario...
"We all know the answer to that! It's all Luci-nee's fault!"""Yes, onee-sama! All Luci-nee's fault!"""W-Why is it my fault? What did I do...?!""Becaaause. Lucifer-onee-sama~""In EP3, you bullied Battler-kun too much~""As a representative for all the sisters, you had a monopoly on tormenting Battler-kun, didn't you...? Aah, I'm so jealous I can't stand it!""There is no doubt that you darkened Battler-sama's mood."""There's no doubt!"""What are you going to do about this, Luci-nee...?! I promised Ange-sama that we'd have screentime together again! Are you going to take some responsibility?!""I-I'm not the only one at fault...!"""Nope! It's all Luci-nee's fault!"""Anywaay, let's all go apologize to Battler-kun.""I don't want to have no screentiiiiiime, waaaaaaaaah!"
Now wearing a cape, Battler sat on a ridiculous throne in an incredibly arrogant manner.The Seven Sisters kneelt before him, trying to somehow appeal to him for a part..."...Yo, Lucifer. To think this day would come, huuuh? Ihihihi...""K...Kuh...""Battler-sama! We want a part!""We'll do anything you say, so please give us a paaart!"The sisters pleaded on their knees."Fumufumu. It looks like six of you want to have screentime, but only Lucifer doesn't.""...I...If it means I have to kneel before you, I don't mind if I never showing up again...! Wh...Who would stoop to kneeling before you...?!""The Seven Sisters of Purgatory are a set of seven. If one of you is being defiant, I guess that means the rest of you won't get a part either?"""N-No waaaaaay, Battler-samaaaaa!"""Y-You stupid sister! Your stubbornness is causing a lot of trouble for the rest of us!""Come on! Get down on your knees and apologize!""That's right, that's right! Press your forehead to the floor and apologize!"
The younger sisters all held Lucifer down together, and forced her to her knees by pushing her against the floor.
Lucifer still refused to surrender, and she held back her tears while grinding her teeth."Battler-sama, Luci-nee is apologizing as well, so please calm your anger.""So please give me a part where I meet up with a handsome prince~!""Give me a part where I eat lots of delicious food~!""I see, I see. Well, if I'm in a good mood, I'll give you any part you want~ Aah, my shoulders sure are stiff.""Oka--y, we'll rub them--!""Aah, my calves are pretty stiff, too. Could you rub those, too~?""Yes, leave it to me!" "As you wish!"
Mammon is taking care of my right calf. Belph is massaging my left calf.Asmo is taking care of my right arm. Beelz is massaging my left arm.Aah, my left and right upper arms...are being held between warm fruits... W-What bliss...Wooow, being Game Master is so wonderful... Long live the Game Master! I am God, the god of a new game!
"The six younger sisters are fine~ But I sure owe Lucifer for EP3~ You gouged me so many times with that stake of yours, grinding grinding, grinding grinding grinding! Aah, just remembering it pisses me off!""Ahh, in that caaase, I think this time Battler-sama should gouge into Luci-nee instead.""I think that's a great idea! Until Battler-sama feels satisfied, I think he should bully her all night loong!""Wh...What are you guys talking about?! H-Hey, let go of me!""Oh, I know, Lucifer-onee-sama. Your back is your weak spot, right...?""Wai... L-Levia?! H-How do you know that?!""Everyone knows your weak points! You were the only one who thought we didn't know, weren't you?! You're too careless, onee-sama!""Hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh, so her back is her weak spot, is it, hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh!""St-Stop! Do you think I'll surrender if you do that?! Do you really think I'll cry and beg for forgiveness?!""Ah, shut up, shut up! Know my grudge from that day you tortured me by grinding and gouging into me! Is it around here? Around here? Take that, there, there, there!""Ahhiiiiiiiiiiiii!""Or is it around here?!""Ahaaaaa! Noooooo, please forgive me, Battler-samaaaaaaaa, auaaaaaaa!"He finally got the chance for revenge he never had in the original story. Battler complacently ground against Lucifer's back...
"How do you feel, Battler-sama? Are you refreshed?""Yeah, I feel great... My long-standing grudge has been totally cleared up, and I feel all fresh, like I've finally shed my skin!"
Lucifer's shoulders heaved as she caught her breath. She had collapsed with her clothes in disarray, and it looked very much like the aftermath of something...It was a bit obscene.
"Soo, does that mean you'll give us all a part now...?""Sure! I've resolved all of my grudges! Don't worry, your screentime is secure! Uhahahahahahaha!""Then I want a scene where I meet a handsome prince!""I want a role where I eat lots of food!""I don't need any big scenes, but make sure I'm in the 7th game, too!""I would like to fight against a formidable enemy, and fall beautifully in battle.""Hey, hey, you guys! If you ask for all that at once, Battler-sama's going to get confused! Write your requests on paper before giving them to him!""...I...I'm...fine with any kind of minor role... ...I won't defy you again...so could I...have a part...""What are you talking about? Luci-nee, you've always been the one to stand out the most! I'm jealous, aah, I'm jealous!""Wahahahahaha! The Game Master is God, after all! I'll grant any request you have! You're all safe now! Oh, someone else is here. Could it be the Chiester Sisters this time? Or maybe Dlanor's group? Come to think of it, Ange, you've got some nerve, not coming to greet me when you're my own little sister! I've already received a full-body massage from the Seven Sisters. Maybe I'll have the Chiester Sisters wipe the sweat off my brow with their tails~? I wonder what I'll get from Dlanor? Uhyahyahyahaaaaa!"
In that manner, Game Master Battler exhausted the limits of tyranny, and fully enjoyed his harem.
However, in the world, people have privilege because they have responsibility. And when you reverse the statement, it rings true even more. Earlier, Battler had used his privilege, so he now had to fulfill his responsibility to grant their requests.
"Excuse me. ...I recorded all the demands you are responsible for on paper.""Oh, thanks, Virgilia! Let's see, let's see. ...There's a whole lot of them, huh.""Pukuku! After all, you are the god of the game board, Battler-sama. There is no wish you cannot grant. In that regard, the demands have become quite extravagant.""...At any rate, Battler-kun. ...What kind of scenario can you make to fit all these demands...? And all in just one episode..."

We went to go search the beach together for the hat.We just couldn't find it anywhere, no matter how many times the two of us scoured the beach searching for it.We never found it. But it would've been boring to just search for it in silence. We conversed with each other the whole time.That was when...I heard that she longed to go see an aquarium.By coincidence, I had a friend who was a curator. I arranged it so that just the two of us could specially visit the aquarium on one of the days it was closed.

"T-Time limit?! There's something like that?! How long do I have?!""Well, to put things bluntly, until Winter Comiket."
"The people at the press factory have their own circumstances as well, so the actual deadline for delivery is even sooner... It seems this year's winter will be quite cold. It isn't unusual for the factories to be located in mountains...

A new scenario that satisfies all the demands! ...Ah, and if you would allow it, I would be most pleased if you were to write that I become the wild captain of a pirate ship and voyage to the ends of the earth.""Ah, i...if possible, I would be happy if you would allow me to perform a 17-year-old and 1000-year-old commemoration live concert...

However, we will add our own demands to the scenario as well.""I'll agree to anything...! ...??? Why are you giving me those creepy looks?"
"...RudoBato. GohBato. AmaBato."

# Game Master BATTLER!/Summary
After discovering the truth in "End of the Golden Witch", Battler has become the Game Master, able to spin the game board and weave the story as if he were a god. However, being Game Master isn’t easy since the story is limited to two days on an isolated island. Battler struggles to write a game board, hoping to give every character an important part. Lambda arrives to give some assistance, saying that if he gave everyone an important role, it would turn into a big mess. Lambda tells him to use his head, but Battler hits her on the head instead; she says Battler should already know the answer of what to do with all the characters and leaves before he can ask for more help.
Just then, Genji knocks on the door to Battler’s room, bringing along Kumasawa, Nanjo, and Gohda. The older servants have heard about Battler’s troubles and brought some sweets to help him relax a bit. They set the table and congratulate Battler for his promotion to Game Master, and Gohda asks how the writing for Episode 6 is going. Battler says he’s still stumped from wanting to give everyone a role, and then Genji asks if he’s seen the results of the recent popularity poll; Battler is flattered that he took first place, and the old servants lament that they were much lower. Gohda was 22nd, Genji was 41st, Nanjo was 48th, and Kumasawa was 53rd. Battler sees their sad faces, and then determines that he can boost their popularity by giving them screentime in the next episode. He realizes that the servants have come to appeal to him, as the younger characters tend to be more popular and leave the adults less time; the servants often getting killed on the first twilight doesn’t help either. Battler asks the servants what kind of roles they want, and they all give him suggestions, crying tears when the Game Master promises to take them to heart.
Sometime later, EVA-Beatrice arrives. Despite having little screen time since "Episode 3", EVA has taken 8th place in the popularity poll. She also wishes to have a role in the next episode, wanting to play the part of the rival once again, but Battler says Erika’s already taken that spot; not only that, EVA is very dull compared to how annoying Erika can be. EVA thinks Battler is saying she’s not a good character, and the Game Master reminds her that Erika changed into a swimsuit and slapped tape on all the windows in the rain. EVA wants to do anything to ensure a part, and Battler suggests she lower the length of her skirt a bit; snapping his fingers, EVA’s skirt shrinks by ten centimeters. EVA tells him to take off ten more, and Battler says it’s about to reach her knees. Snapping his fingers some more, EVA’s skirt becomes so short that it barely covers her; Battler falls completely into the influence of his Game Master powers and EVA’s design completely changes into her wearing black knee-socks, a twintail hairstyle, and she’s even promised to wear other costumes such as a pair of cat ears and a sailor uniform. The witch thanks profusely and goes off.
Rudolf and Kyrie are the next people to appear, wanting parts since they’re Battler’s family. Rudolf wants to play the aloof action hero while Kyrie does detective work, and Battler agrees to it. Krauss, Natsuhi, and Jessica are next; Jessica wants to have another fight scene while the couple wants to be seen as an intimate family. Battler agrees, but only on the condition that Natsuhi wear a swimsuit and become a lap pillow for him. Jessica berates him for it but Battler says he isn’t trying to force anyone to do anything; even so, Natsuhi accepts this, much to his delight.
George’s family arrives carrying a box of cakes, also trying to secure parts in the next episode. Battler will give George a fight scene, but only if Eva wear a bunnygirl outfit and cook for him. Hideyoshi wants to leave his wife out of this, but Eva accepts the conditions if it means giving their son a role. Rosa wants to give Maria a role, but Battler wants her to wear a gym uniform and wash his back.
Virgilia and Ronove slide in, terrified that the power of Game Master has really gone to Battler’s head. Battler sees them and agrees to give them screentime in the next episode without any favors. Virgilia asks for him to stop toying with everyone’s feelings, but Battler ignores her and tells Ronove to hang up a notice for him. The note says that the Seven Sisters of Purgatory won’t be getting any screentime, and to talk to Battler if they have objections.
The Sisters are surprised that they’re not getting any screentime despite having been consistently popular, and they all blame it on Lucifer; she tormented Battler too much in "Episode 3" and caused him to act this way. They all go to apologize to Battler, who sits upon a throne awaiting them. Everyone except Lucifer kneels before him, with the demon of pride refusing to kneel if it means never showing up again. Battler replies that the Sisters are a group of seven; someone being defiant means nobody gets a part. The rest of the Sisters insult Lucifer and force her to the ground, and they all plead for roles. Battler agrees, motioning for the Sisters to massage his shoulders; they do so, massaging his calves as well, and Battler relishes in his status as Game Master. However, he still wants to pay back Lucifer for all the times she gouged him in Episode 3, and the Sisters suggest he gouge into her instead. Leviathan remembers that Lucifer's weak spot is in her back, and Battler starts poking her around that area. After doing his business, Battler feels refreshed and promises to give parts to the Seven Sisters.
Virgilia reappears, having written down all of the demands Battler is responsible for. Battler looks through them, surprised that there are so many.
The list of demands is as follows:
Genji wants to make cocktails in the guesthouse lounge while a mid-boss character appears, saying something like “You should’ve died!” and showing how cool Genji was in the past.
Nanjo wants to perform a successful surgery using daily supplies and also have a fight scene involving using surgical tools as weapons.
Kumasawa wants to witness every major scene, using her long life experience to sense whenever things are out of place. She will then get killed by the culprit before she can do anything, requesting that it be a tearjerker and that dai make a new song.
Gohda wishes to cook lots of food, with his “dinner orchestra” being 50,000 characters long. Everyone will give his food a standing ovation, and even Natsuhi will give him a kiss on the cheek. He’ll also have a fight scene in the kitchen, starting out as a gun fight but turning into Gohda blowing the enemies away with his aikido techniques. His catchphrase will also be “I can’t lose in the kitchen!”
EVA-Beatrice will revive as a villain to surpass Erika, committing more murders and engaging in a fight with Battler that will need at least 100,000 characters of text. EVA will also have 5 new exclusive songs during her battle, and also wants to be the strongest character in the fighting game.
Krauss wants to have a battle against the Golden Witch in a fight over finances. Krauss will awaken as the Golden Sorcerer and exchange blows with business terminology, hoping that people will become business experts just by reading it. An imaginary scene of the servants acting as Krauss’ backup is shown, preparing for the Second World Financial Crisis.
Natsuhi wishes to have a calm romance story focused towards adults, receiving an engagement ring from a snowball Krauss throws at her.
Jessica doesn’t care about the mysteries and just wants an action chapter where she beats up villains with her brass knuckles; she’ll get cornered at the end but Kanon will gallantly save her, pointing towards an appendix for more details. She also wants Stephen Chow Sing-Chi to direct.
Hideyoshi wishes to make a biographical scene, detailing his return from the frontlines to find he has no home and no money. By building up goods by sneaking into warehouses and selling them on the black market, Hideyoshi’s success will begin rising. He points towards his book “Excitement! The Chronicles of an Exemplary Man’s One-man Struggles.~Stories of Success of a Restaurant Chain Owner~” for more details.
Eva wishes for a similar scene, detailing her attempts to revive the Ushiromiya family and be accepted as the next head. In the climax, Krauss and some hoodlums will attack Hideyoshi, but Eva will kick them away with her footwork. She wants Nobuko Miyamoto to be the lead actress if Eva herself can’t do it, and Juzo Itami to be the director.
George wants a peaceful depiction of how he and Shannon’s romance started since it still hasn’t been shown in the original work. On the day of the family conference many years ago, George’s hat blows away and flies along the beach. He and Shannon soon met and searched for the hat, chatting along the way. He heard Shannon longed to go to an aquarium and so George sets up with one of his curator friends for the two of them to visit when the aquarium’s closed. George would then apologize to her for two things: that she couldn’t see the crowds of people at the aquarium, and that he wasn’t actually wearing a hat.
Battler stops reading halfway through the list and Ronove reminds him that as the Game Master, he has to incorporate all of those into a single episode, and there isn't much time left. He has until Winter Comiket to finish it, and Virgilia tells him that this year’s winter will be quite cold, and it’s possible the factories in the mountains will shut down because of the snow and they won’t get the master disc in time. Ronove urges Battler to get writing, and then inserts a demand that he become a pirate captain and sail to the ends of the earth. Virgilia adds her own, wanting to host a 17-year-old and 1000-year-old commemoration concert. Battler inserts his own wish that everything turn out to be a dream, but is swiftly denied. Battler gets down and apologizes for his behavior, asking Virgilia and Ronove to help. They agree, but not without inserting more of their own demands; Virgilia suggests RudoBato and GohBato, and Ronove adds RonoBato to that list. Battler has no idea what they’re talking about and the two give devilish grins, ending with a letter from Battler asking for help writing Episode 6 and promising a prize.

Mental Barriers of Adolescence (-A)
"She was a kid genius, but when she entered adolescence, her thinking ability began to grow less focused, and a small drop in her P3 levels was noticed."

# Gauntlet Knight
, otherwise known as , are soldiers recruited by militaries all over the world and chosen to wield Gauntlets, devices worn on their left arms that grant them various abilities. Gauntlet Knights are said to be fighter jets and aircraft carriers combined into one, having firepower and defense that far surpasses either of them.
While Knights are capable of feats such as flying and reflecting bullets, there are still risks to be had; improper use of Ricochet Flying can cause Knights to go blind. Test cases of Knights trying to use the Dimension Container and exploding are also common.
Due to the intense amount of training and the high P3 levels required, only kids and teenagers are capable of becoming Knights; there are only a select few adults who can use Gauntlets, if barely.
Abilities and Functions.
Virtual Reality: As an extension of the Selcom's usability, Knights can enter virtual reality and perform combat simulations. Knights are also able to obtain and calculate precise information such as speed and trajectory within seconds.
Reaper's Eye: An extension of the Kizuna function which allows Knights to gain accurate lock-ons to enemies. Has integration with the AI Keropoyo, which talks to Knights and gives them information.
Ricochet Flying: Knights can fly through the air at sharp angles while maintaining speed, making them nearly untraceable by weapons such as guided missiles. 8MS implants are required to minimize damage taken to the body.
Dimension Container System: Uses the 4DP system to store a variety of weapons and ammunition in what appears to be hyperspace.
Rejection Shield: Knights can create barriers to reflect bullets and projectiles.
Knights can have other abilities by applying functions in different ways, such as Momotake's Dimensional Slice.

# George Ushiromiya
is the son of Eva Ushiromiya and Hideyoshi Ushiromiya. He has a relationship with the servant Shannon and wishes to marry her.
Profile.
"Eva and Hideyoshi's son."
"An affable young man liked by everyone in the family. He is currently studying as an assistant for his father's company, and it seems he dreams of making it on his own one day."
"As the oldest of the four cousins, he acts as their leader and arbitrator."
Appearance.
George appears as a fairly young man and is described as a typical average man that is not too ugly nor too handsome. He has black curtained, short straight hair and black colored eyes (in later adaptations, his eye color is green). He has bad vision so he is always seen wearing glasses. He is of average height, standing at approximately 170 cm and has pale skin. In the original sound novels he was thicker, but in later adaptations, he was changed to being fairly slim.
George's formal attire consist of a black long sleeved buttoned shirt with a white tie. Over it is a brown vest with the Ushiromiya family crest and over it is a yellow suit. He also wears yellow trousers and black shoes. His casual attire in the sound novels and the anime consist of a black jacket, a green sleeveless shirt, and black pants. He also wears a dog tag neck cord. His casual attire in the PS3 version consist of a blue jacket, a buttoned long sleeved light blue shirt, and white trousers. Like in the original version, he also wears a dog tag neck cord.
Personality.
George is polite and good at resolving a tense situation. He is the only cousin who had not made fun of Maria for believing in witches and magic. He is often praised by the other members of the Ushiromiya member to be mature and knowledgeable in many things such as tea.
He loves Shannon and has stated at times that he will do anything to be with her. According to "Answer to the Golden Witch", were he to find out about Shannon's true self and body issues, he would be more than happy to modify his plans to the future with her. When he was younger, George initially displayed jealousy towards Battler for getting close to Shannon, but he has since overcome those feelings.
In school, he had been bullied by other kids and runs away when he sees others being bullied unless the person is his friend. George also held negative feelings towards Jessica and Battler when he was younger, thinking that he was superior to them because they spoke in vulgar ways.
Abilities.
Having been personally trained since childhood by his mother, George is an absolute master in various forms of martial arts and, just like Eva, he demonstrates a preference in fighting exclusively with kicks. In the Meta-World he proves to be such a fast, agile and powerful adversary that he not only could easily eliminate goats and confront higher level demons like Gaap, but he even manages to overcome and kill EVA-Beatrice.
His axe kick is also powerful enough to smash a human skull (as shown in "Alliance of the Golden Witch").
Background.
As a young man, George was forced by Eva to take classes on all sorts of subjects, including music and martial arts. In his visits to Rokkenjima during the family conference, he fell in love with Shannon and would eventually make her his fiancee.
Relationships.
Overview.
George is the oldest among himself and his cousins in the series.
Eva Ushiromiya.
George is Eva's only son and the only person besides Hideyoshi that she deeply cares for. Due to Kinzo's rejection of her aspirations for the headship, Eva decided to raise George with the intention of grooming him to be the next successor of the Ushiromiya family, effectively pushing her dream onto him. As a result, she gave George a strict and intense upbringing, sparing no expense at signing him up for private tutoring, arts classes, and martial arts training. Eva's overbearing control of her son's life resulted in him having little free time for leisure and personal development. Although George was already an adult by 1986, she still attempted to exert control over his life, disapproving of his relationship with the servant Shannon and pressuring him into an arranged marriage with a reputable woman of her own choosing: Ayumi.
While George does not show it publicly, he feels a great deal of frustration over his mother's micromanagement of his life, and wants to break free of her control to become his own person. The two confront each other in "Dawn of the Golden Witch", clashing over both his relationship with Shannon and Eva's control over his life in general. Despite their conflicts, George and Eva do love each other as family, and each is overcome with grief whenever the other is killed. In "Legend of the Golden Witch" and "Banquet of the Golden Witch", Eva also expresses regret at her treatment of George, realizing that her overbearing control of his life was unjust and may have been the result of her trying to get back at Krauss.
Role in the Story.
Legend of the Golden Witch.
He proposes to Shannon, giving her a ring and asking to put it on whichever hand she desires.
The next morning, George cries over knowing that Shannon was killed. He doesn't see her corpse and is more content with remembering her smile.
Later, his parents are killed on the second twilight, and George falls further into despair.
George becomes one of the last few survivors and is killed on the tenth twilight.
"Missing."
"Even though everyone was getting along so well after being reunited in the Golden Land, all of the magic came to nothing because of a certain hardheaded fool."
"Afterwards, the demons chewed him to the bone, and he went to hell."
Turn of the Golden Witch.
Before 1986, George starts to build his relationship with Shannon, going on a date with her to an aquarium.
Later, George goes to Natsuhi's room with Gohda and Shannon to retrieve Natsuhi's spirit mirror, and he is eventually murdered by Beatrice.
"Died in Natsuhi's room, with his his stomach pierced by a weapon shaped like a stake."
"At the sixth twilight, gouge the stomach and kill."
"It was possible that they would've ended up as the second twilight."
Banquet of the Golden Witch.
Heads to the parlor with Beatrice to revive Shannon, but is soon killed by EVA-Beatrice.
"His corpse was found in the mansion's parlor. The weapon used on him is assumed to be a gun or a spear-shaped object."
"In exchange for his soul, the witch gave 8 numbers."
"07151129"
"If you say it, a small Golden Land will be opened."
Alliance of the Golden Witch.
As part of Kinzo's trial for choosing the next family head, George is called to the rose garden and examined by Gaap. George is asked which thing he would give up: his own life, Shannon's life, or everyone else's lives. George chooses the third answer, believing that if he were to marry Shannon then he must be prepared to fight the entire world. Gaap is impressed with his answer and wants George to kill the other captured humans inside of Kuwadorian but George starts attacking her instead; George declares that he is now the Ushiromiya family head and all of the family's assets are his property, and Gaap's accomplices must pay for the lives they've already taken.
George is caught off guard when Gaap starts rapidly opening portals under him and teleporting him into bad positions, kicking him while also demeaning his love for Shannon and how his parents died so easily in the first twilight. George answers that he's learned a lot from those three: martial arts from Eva, fortitude from Hideyoshi, and love from Shannon. George then taunts Gaap by launching kicks of his own, stopping just a hair's breadth away from her face as proof that he could really beat Gaap if he wanted. He asks Gaap to show him where the prisoners are being held but Gaap continues to attack.
Gaap summons the goats from Kuwadorian's prison to assist her and George declares that he really will hurt Gaap now, receiving a magical counterattacking shield and dispatching all of the goats soon after. After being caught in another pitfall, George prepares one last downward kick with the intent to finish off Gaap, but she feigns defeat and summons another portal, sending George into the path of Jessica and causing the two to kill each other; George gets a supersonic punch through his abdomen while half of Jessica's face is destroyed by his kick. Gaap brings George's corpse back to the rose garden then restores his corpse and jabs a hole into his head.
As Battler heads to his own test, he sees George's corpse and inspects it.
"His corpse was found in the arbor of the rose garden. There was a single hole right in the center of his forehead. It's probably reasonable to assume hat he was shot with a gun or something similar."
"It's a brand of humiliation, marking his defeat to Gaap."
End of the Golden Witch.
Was killed in the first twilight.
"His body was discovered in the cousins' room on the second floor of the guesthouse."
"The direct cause of death is unknown, but his neck was slashed open by a sharp knife.The wound is very deep, so anyone can easily see that he definitely died. "
Dawn of the Golden Witch.
As part of the love trial, George targets his mother Eva. After approaching her, she transforms into EVA-Beatrice and they fight. After a lengthy battle, George emerges victorious.
Requiem of the Golden Witch.
In the Tea Party, he is killed by Rudolf with one shot in his side and one shot in his head.
Twilight of the Golden Witch.
In Bernkastel's game, he is killed by Rudolf, Kyrie, and Battler.

# Glass Sea
The Glass Sea is a large location in-between AOU Japan and COU Japan and is a source of Spiritium.
History.
The Glass Sea was created in World War III when a solar warhead was launched at Japan. Everything and everyone within a 100 kilometer radius, from central Gifu to Osaka, evaporated and vitrified. The resulting crater split Japan into two territories, AOU Japan and COU Japan, and they have since recognized the Glass Sea as a World War Relic and maintain its status as neutral territory.
After a spirit field containing Rare Spiritium was discovered to be under the Glass Sea, tensions between AOU Japan and COU Japan began rising.

# Glossary (Higanbana)
The Glossary is a feature exclusive to the English fan translation of and serves as translation notes to help the reader understand certain terms, phrases, or popular culture media.
The Glossary entries are gradually unlocked as one progresses through the story.
The First Night.
Chapter 1.
Mesomeso.
Mesomeso [meh-so-meh-so] is the sound of someone sobbing, usually after losing their self-respect or from having low self-esteem. Often the head hangs limply as the person cries.
In Higanbana no Saku Yoru ni, Mesomeso is given the Japanese honorific suffix '–san' (Mesomeso-san), which is often comparable to the English Mr., Mrs., or Ms.. Others include '-chan' a childish suffix, '-kun' a slightly masculine suffix that is used by teachers on students regardless of gender, and '-sama' a suffix denoting respect.
Youkai.
Whether mischievous or malicious, youkai [yoh-kye] are supernatural demons, ghosts, and monsters from Japanese folklore and horror stories. The term youkai covers a wide range of beings from ghosts disguised as beautiful women to colossal centipedes.
The most common youkai are:
tengu – long-nosed demons<br>
oni – ogres<br>
kappa – humanoid turtles<br>
kitsune – fox spirits.
Although some youkai can be beneficial like rain spirits. Generally they exist to cause humans misery either through trickery or fear.
7 Mysteries.
The Seven Mysteries is a Japanese concept birthed from the importance of the number 7. (E.G. 7 days in a week, 7 wonders in the world, 7 deadly sins).
This concept became popular in the Edo period of Japanese history (1600-1868) with tales of unexplained phenomena that turned into urban legends. These tales usually took place in a single area and comprised of 7 phenomena. E.G. 7 Mysteries of Suwa Shrine.
This trend became popular in Japanese schools and seven school mysteries is a popular
concept that has been explored in TV dramas, anime, and manga.
Chapter 2.
Bells Marks.
Since the 1960s, Bell Marks have been embedded in Japanese elementary school as a popular activity.
Bell Marks can be found on many products, and students can cut them out and gather them to turn in to their teachers at the end of the month. Depending on how many bell marks students turn in, the school benefits by receiving funds from the Bell Mark Foundation, and they can use those funds on school supplies and equipment.
Chapter 3.
Glass Mask.
Glass Mask is a popular shoujo manga written by Suzue Miuchi that has been in circulation since 1976. The story revolves around Maya Kitajima and her pursuit of her dream to become an actress. In Chapter 3 of Higanbana, Midori refers to the extreme training methods in the story.
Chapter 4.
Local Deities.
Local deities, guardian spirits or tutelary gods are common in the animistic Japanese religion of Shinto. Spirits such as these typically act as guardians for a local area, keeping evil spirits at bay. Often in Japan on the roadsides one can find hokora, miniature Shinto shrines, dedicated to folk deities like guardian spirits. These shrines
typically have tiny doors that represent the closed house of the deity, or are marked off with rope and white paper showing the shrine as sacred space.
Chrysanthemums.
Chrysanthemums in Japanese culture, especially if they are white or yellow, are used at wakes and funerals usually for bereavement purposes.
In Chapter 4 of Higanbana, Michiru is implying that there may end up being a potential memorial service in the classroom should anyone end up dying from the Guardian Deity's curse - thus the classroom filled with chrysanthemums.
Chapter 7.
Higanbana.
Higanbana are red spider lilies. They are named thusly because they bloom around the time of the Higan memorial week. Higan can also be read as ka no kishi, which means 'other shore' and refers to englightenment or the after life. Higan is unique to Japanese buddhism and occurs during the vernal and autumn equinoxes. For a week families pay their respects to the dead by visiting graveyards and attending memorial services. Higanbana are ominous flowers in Japan with nicknames like the flower of the dead (shibitobana), the flower of hell (jigokubana), and the phantom flower (yuureibana).
Fortunes.
Omikuji are paper fortunes at Japanese Shinto shrines. Fortunes start with a general fortune which can vary from very good luck to very bad luck. After the general fortune, there is usually a series of fortunes about that person’s luck in business, love, directions, and so forth. If the fortune is bad, it’s usually tied to a tree to keep their bad luck at the shrine, and if it’s good, it’s also tied to the tree to give it a boost, or they can keep it for good luck.
Jizo Statue.
Jizo is a Buddhist bodhisattva (Buddha-to-be, comparable to saints in Catholicism) who assists the Amida Buddha (the Buddha of the Western Paradise). Jizo is extremely popular in Japan, and countless varieties of statues dedicated to him line the roadsides. He saves children that have died before their parents from the underworld: such as aborted fetuses, miscarriages, or still births. Often parents will give offerings to the Jizo in the form of red bibs, caps, and toys.

# Goats
The , referred to collectively as or simply Goats, are low level Furniture that serve Beatrice. They first appear in "Turn of the Golden Witch".
Profile.
"Low-level furniture in service to Beatrice. They are great in number, but silent and lacking personality. They obediently follow their master's orders."
"Their senses are closer to those of animals than humans, and they're surprisingly dull-witted, which sometimes leads them to misunderstand their orders. They have by nature a massive build like a minotaur's and fearsome superhuman strength."
"They may be low-level furniture, but the ability to summon an inexhaustible supply of them makes them extremely convenient."
Appearance.
The Goats in the original PC novel have an average build and wear suits with the One-Winged Eagle adorned on their lapels. Their heads resemble that of a regular goat. The adaptation shows that Goats have very sharp teeth when they open their mouths, with their eyes being solid red.
The console sprites show the Goats as being incredibly muscular.
Personality.
Most Goats have no personality to speak of, as they are created simply to serve their master. "Alliance of the Golden Witch" shows that Goats are capable of independent thought, however they don't seem to be very bright.
Skills and Abilities.
Goats are capable of conjuring purple swords as weapons. Even without those swords, Goats have superhuman strength, and a large number of them can easily tear apart humans.
Background.
Most Goats are created the same way as simple furniture summoned by witches. The Goat that fights Krauss in "Alliance "is shown to have a family and fiancee that they wanted to come home to and apparently suffered bullying from other Goats while training.
Story.
"Turn of the Golden Witch".
The Goats make their first appearance when Beatrice summons one to do battle with Kanon. Kanon ultimately defeats the goat, prompting Beatrice to summon Asmodeus and later Satan.
Once the epitaph murders come to a close and Beatrice is revived, many guests dressed as goats await the Golden Witch's return. During Beatrice's grand party, the Goats devour Kinzo alive, and once Battler fails to gain Beatrice's approval, they devour him as well. Many more pursue Rosa and Maria, where Rosa overpowers several of them. The Goats in the end prevail after Rosa breaks her ankle, although she still manages to take several of them out after Maria reloads her gun. It is shown that Rosa also managed to defeat several Goats with Maria's handbag, as it contains a heavy gold bar from the chapel.
"Alliance of the Golden Witch".
Several Goats are posted as guards in Kuwadorian's prison, later being borrowed by Gaap. When Krauss and the other prisoners escape, Virgilia accompanies a Goat who had found a shortcut. The two block the prisoners' way out, and Krauss decides to duel the Goat in a boxing-style match.
Krauss and the Goat are initially mismatched, as Krauss had a power level of 6 while the Goat had a power level of 1000. Virgilia underestimates Krauss and places too much confidence in the Goat's abilities, causing him to falter and generate plenty of loser flags to amplify Krauss' power. Krauss comes out victorious, with the loser Goat falling onto Virgilia.
"Twilight of the Golden Witch".
During EVA-Beatrice's attack on Rokkenjima, she summons hordes of Goats that are the personifications of random opinions and theories in the future, who start erasing the island because all of them want the tale to be a tragedy. According to Erika, these Goats keep getting born from the sea of the internet, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
Other Appearances.
"Golden Fantasia".
The Goats themselves are not playable, however Virgilia summons them during many of her attacks. Erika can also summon them with one of her moves that brings up the same cannons she used during the battle for the Golden Land in "Twilight of the Golden Witch". A Goat also appears, along with Maria, during an initial special animation between Rosa and Beatrice as foes. A Goat can also be unlocked as a system voice.
"Last note of the Golden Witch".

# Gold Room
The Gold Room, also called the Ingot Room and the Underground VIP Room, is a hidden room in Rokkenjima that contains the legendary mountain of gold rewarded by solving the epitaph.
It is featured as a stage in "Golden Fantasia".
Description.
The gold room is very lavish, containing a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, a bed with a canopy, and a clock. The gold bars are piled off to the side and adorned with curtains. There is a staircase that leads to the room from somewhere aboveground.
History.
Long ago, Kinzo Ushiromiya made a contract with the Golden Witch Beatrice and obtained his mountain of gold. He used this gold to build his fortune and to revive the Ushiromiya family, later constructing this underground room to store the gold in and creating the epitaph. The gold's existence was debated for years, and Kinzo's son Krauss was able to verify it after learning that Kinzo had personally shown off the gold room to a friend, the president of the company Marusoo, and allowed him to take a gold bar for himself.

# Gold Truth
The is a divine truth first used by Battler in "End of the Golden Witch".
Unlike other forms of colored text, the meaning of the golden truth is not explicitly explained around the time of its first use. Instead, readers are left to gradually discern the nature of the gold truth themselves through various comments and uses of the gold truth throughout the story.
Presentation.
The Gold Truth is presented in the original visual novel with gold text. In the official English release of the manga, due to color printing limitations, the Gold Truth is represented with the use of a fanciful font.
Characterization and Meaning.
The gold truth is said by Dlanor to be woven in a different fashion from the red truth. Because of this, while its strength is on par with the red truth, it may be inferior or superior to it depending on the situation.
Anyone who fully understands the rules of Beatrice's game will have the ability to use the gold truth, meaning that it can be used by both humans and fantasy characters alike. Its nature is fundamentally that of a human truth, allowing Battler to use it to bypass the restriction of Knox's 2nd on proving the identity of Kinzo's corpse.
In "Twilight of the Golden Witch", the gold truth is revealed by Ange to be a truth constructed from belief, that is acknowledged and shared between people. Because of this, it is able to protect individuals from the power of the red truth.
List of Gold Truths Used in the Series.
Requiem of the Golden Witch.
While the gold truth is not used in this portion of the story, Willard makes several references to it in his solutions to the mysteries of Beatrice's games. They are as follows:

The 1st Movement is beginning!
Blitz!
Development History.
Ryukishi07 began development on "Golden Fantasia" around the time "Banquet of the Golden Witch" released, wanting to do it because "I simply wanted to play a fighting game of "Umineko."" The characters included in the first version of the game were those who had fight scenes in the original story and were popular. Later expansions added characters based on popularity polls.
Before the first expansion for "Golden Fantasia" was released, an event was held where fans could post fanart on the website pixiv and get it added to the game.
Gameplay.
"Golden Fantasia" consists of a 2D fighting style with sprites used for the characters. Players select two characters; the active character known as the Attacker and the inactive character known as the Reserve; and fight other pairs in matches. Gameplay involves the use of the Meta-World, enabling the use of super moves and activating passive abilities. Players are thus encouraged to switch between characters to make use of their abilities and to perform combos.
The player also has the option of playing Normal Mode or Princess Mode: Normal Mode is the standard control scheme while Princess Mode omits some moves but makes button inputs easier to do.
The HUD contains 6 gauges:
Adaptation.
A short namesake manga based off of the game illustrated by Junka Morozumi began serialization in the December 2011 issue of 's "" magazine.

# Golden Fantasia/Stages
This page describes the stages that appear in "Golden Fantasia" and their Meta-World versions.
The Rose Garden.
The Rose Garden has marble arches and features Rosa and Maria sitting at the arbor.
Its Meta-World version changes the scene from daytime to a rainy night. Many red crosses adorn the garden. Lying in front of the arbor:are the corpses of several characters, which reference the original story:
Rosa and Maria disappear from the background if Rosa is in play. The same goes for Jessica and George.
The Entrance Hall.
The Entrance Hall's default version has no notable differences from how it is presented in the original story.
Its Meta-World version changes to a visceral environment, with bloodstains on the walls and many blood-spattered goat guests watching the battle. Several candles line the walls.
The portrait of Beatrice will have some blood splattered on it and receive a magic glow. Depending on the characters in play, the portrait will also change based on who declares Meta-World:
The Garden Shed.
The Garden Shed appears to be located in the middle of a forest, with wildlife such as deer and squirrels spectating the match.
Meta-World will change the stage from day to night, with the trees developing grotesque faces. The wildlife will be replaced with owls perched on top of the shed and golden butterflies floating around. The shed itself will have the Seventh Magic Circle of the Sun painted on the shutter, with a puddle of blood visible inside.
Kinzo's Study.
While Kinzo's study in the original is rather mundane, "Golden Fantasia" portrays it more like an alchemy lab. It has regular furnishings like a table with a chess board, stands of knight armor, and a bookcase behind a desk. All over the study are big jars filled with big fish, a mermaid and other strange objects. Inside the wall is a shelf filled with vials, plants and yet more jars, with a sun crest above it and a pair of curtains swept to the side. A tall window opens to the balcony on a sunny day.
Its Meta-World version changes to be much more occult. Runic messages fill the air, the jars shine with an orange glow, and the alchemy station is replaced with a plasma globe, with the sun crest crying blood. Some of the jars' contents escape or break their jars, with the mermaid especially notable. The scenery outside becomes a rainy night. The suits of armor receive giant scythes, with their empty helmets occasionally flashing a pair of red eyes. The chess table also receives two goats sitting at either end, seemingly engaged in a game themselves.
The Boiler Room.
The Boiler Room has many pipes bellowing out steam with the boiler itself in the center of the background.
Its Meta-World version changes to look much more hot, with the entire stage glowing orange with heat. The pipes and machinery show signs of disrepair, with one pipe even broken. The boiler in the back is wide open with Kinzo's burnt corpse attempting to crawl out of it.
The Chapel.
Inside the chapel, the pews are cordoned off. Sitting in the rows are the Ushiromiya adult couples: Rudolf and Kyrie; Krauss and Natsuhi; and Eva and Hideyoshi.
Its Meta-World version turns to night outside. Many pumpkin decorations and rumbling coffins line the walls. Candy and entrails run up to the altar where several corpses are seated at a table, referencing the first twilight of "Turn of the Golden Witch"
The Shrine.
This stage is set during the day against a shrine and torii gate in front of it. In the background are other cliffs filled with trees.
Meta-World turns the environment to a dark and rainy night. The trees in the background become barren and leafless, with a purple swirling portal appearing in front of the shrine. The rocks around the shrine also rise up and become very jagged.
Kuwadorian.
In "Golden Fantasia", the stage takes place in front of the mansion. There are some gravestones with birds, butterflies and squirrels roaming about.
Its Meta-World version becomes a dark and gloomy environment. Many more gravestones appear with green wisps floating around them. Crows are perched on a tree and ghosts can be seen around the graves. Some of Kuwadorian's windows are also shattered.
The Ingot Room.
There are some clothing stands with dresses and a pair of angel statues guarding the pile of gold. In its Meta-World version, everything changes to be a golden coloration. Much of the furniture, like the bed and background table, receive additional skeletal imagery. The angel statues change to golden grim reaper statues.
The Skyscraper Roof.
The roof of the skyscraper that Ange Ushiromiya jumps off of in "Banquet of the Golden Witch".
Its Meta-World version features Ferris wheels in the background and changes the moon to be blood-red and much closer to Earth.
The Aquarium.
George and Shannon can be seen in front of the big fish tank in the center, however they disappear if either of them are in play.
Its Meta-World version transforms the fish tank into a galaxy. Many hanging fish decorations and floating fish skeletons appear all over the stage.
The School Festival.
There are several food stalls to the left and right of the stage. The center features a sound stage where Jessica and her friends perform. In the crowd surrounding the stage, Kanon can be seen watching the performance from atop a crate. If Jessica and/or Kanon are in play, then they disappear from the stage, with Jessica replaced with another girl wearing her costume.
Its Meta-World version places massive piles of sweets and dessert over the food stalls, some containing severed arms and legs. The crowd changes to be goats. Jessica's band also changes: Jessica is replaced with MARIA, Chiester 00 is on guitar, Chiester 556 is on synth, and a big goat is on drums.
The Witch's Smoking Room.
The windows show Fragments floating by. Characters spectating the match include Beatrice, Ronove, Chiester 00, Lambdadelta, EVA-Beatrice, MARIA, Bernkastel, Gaap, Virgilia, and BATTLER. If Rosa and Chiester 410 are in play, then MARIA and 00 will disappear, respectively. The same goes for other characters with playable versions.
When Meta-World is activated, the location changes to become very bright blue. Furniture starts floating in the air, and the walls disappear to reveal many more Fragments floating by. There is also a giant blue butterfly logo on the floor.
The Cathedral.
Various characters are present in the background. Willard H. Wright and Eiserne Jungfrau appear on the left side while Virgilia, Gaap and Ronove appear on the right side. The Seven Stakes of Purgatory can be seen relaxing in the background.
Its Meta-World version features Fragments floating in the air. The background recreates the "End of the Golden Witch" ???, with the Seven Stakes surrounding Erika impaled with Virgilia's spear. Shannon and Kanon appear on the left side, with Kumasawa, Gohda and Genji on the right.
Depending on which characters are in play, the background characters change:
The Library Fleet.
A pirate ship. Erika can be seen in the background wearing her pirate hat and hoisting a flag, however she disappears if Erika is in play. The door to the Golden Land can also be seen in the distance. Its Meta-World version changes to look more sinister: skulls are piled up to one side with a skeleton hanging from one of the ropes. There is also a pile of gold and treasure to the other side. The Golden Land door has a glow emanating from it.
The City of Books.
The City of Books is shown as a labyrinthine collection of staircases and bookshelves, with many black cats roaming about. Activating Meta-World will result in the background becoming flooded, with schools of fish swimming around periodically.

# Golden Fantasia/Summary
As a tag-team game, the story mode follows multiple pairs of characters, each of which has their own story and ending that are considered to take place in an alternate continuity from the original .
Each route has a total of 7 fights, 2 of which are fixed events that advance the plot of the route.
The various routes also spoil events from the original story, so caution is advised.
STORY 01: Battler and Ange.
Battler and Ange vow to return to their world. They find EVA and Chiester 410, and defeat them. After finding Beato and Lucifer, Battler bids them both goodbye. Beato doesn't let them, and tells the pair that Battler cannot come back to 1998, because the past cannot be changed. Ange declares that she'll take Battler back to her time, and Beato challenges her to try and take her title and Battler away from her.
Upon defeat, she gives her title of Golden Witch to Ange, but taunts that even with the title, she is powerless to change the future. Ange admits that, and tells Beatrice that the fight is one of her daydreams. She thanks Battler for spending time with her, and he promises that he'll return home eventually.
Back in the present day, Ange is at the top of the skyscraper, and says that she'll return to where her family is, and Battler appears behind her to stop her as the route ends.
STORY 02: Battler and Ronove.
Battler, as the game master, is writing up a new scenario for a game. Ronove warns him that many people are willing to resort to force in order to secure a larger role.
Two of those people are Shannon and Kanon, and Battler suggests that he'll give them front and center roles if the girls are wearing swimsuits. Because of this, Kanon challenges them to a fight.
After losing, Battler jokes about letting them both join if they wear swimsuits, and offers to give Kanon a role if he wears one as well. Between fights, Battler comments that the demon often holds himself back while fighting.
Finally, the pair find Virgilia and Beatrice, the latter of which teases him and asks if he has a role set up for her. Battler replies that it involves her in a bikini, and Virgilia notes that being game master has sent all the power to his head. After defeating the two, Ronove notes that all petitions sent for the game have been rejected, leaving Battler almost out of characters to use in the story...except for himself and Ronove. Battler can't think of a plot involving the two of them, except for the perverted ones he proposed earlier to Shannon and Beatrice, which Ronove begins to act out.
STORY 03: Battler and Beatrice.
A new witch appears by solving the epitaph, and gets to be the ruler of the game. Battler and Beatrice decide to try and take their gameboard back. After fighting Chiester 410 and Lucifer, they reveal that the culprit is somebody Battler knows well. After a couple more fights, they find EVA, who has solved the epitaph and become the new Golden Witch. Determined to take back their game, the two defeat her and Ronove. Beatrice then orders Ronove to prepare another gameboard. Since Beatrice got the board back, their alliance ends, with Battler declaring that he'll explain all her magic with human tricks, and Beatrice promising to take him head-on.
STORY 04: Battler and Lucifer.
Battler summons Lucifer as his furniture and asks her to fight with him. Chiester 410 teases her, and after fighting, reveals that another witch solved the epitaph. Battler then announces that he will also solve the epitaph. After a couple of battles, they find Beatrice, who crowns EVA as the new Golden Witch. Battler interrupts the scene, declaring that he solved the epitaph; however, because EVA solved it first, that means that she is the new witch, not him. Lucifer complains that he should have been able to solve it first, since Beatrice made the game for him. After defeating the two witches, Battler declares that EVA can have the gold, but the epitaph riddle is his.
Afterwards, Beatrice asks him if he really solved the riddle. He replies that he did, and she decides to hear his theories. Finally, Battler meets with Lucifer and thanks her for her help. She replies that she only lent her power to him for Beatrice's sake, and cannot accept him as her master unless he defeats her in a fight. The route ends as the two square off against each other.
STORY 05: Battler and Shannon.
Shannon asks Battler for help with something, and he accepts, not quite knowing what the request is for. After defeating some opponents, he asks Shannon to tend to their wounds. A bit later, they run into Virgilia and Beatrice, who mention something about Beato and her fighting, and Battler takes it to mean that he's Shannon's second. Beato thanks her for the fight afterwards, and Virgilia instructs Battler to keep supporting Shannon. Beato then tells him that it's a brother-sister battle, and that Shannon needs him to stay as a witness until the end.
They eventually find Kanon, who has Ronove as a witness. Ronove tells him to watch the fight to the end, without saying anything. Battler starts yelling, and asks why they have to fight as they begin the duel.
After Shannon wins, Battler asks her why she had to fight him. She replies that they needed to duel to earn the right to love. After an explanation from Beatrice and Kanon, he congratulates her on getting engaged.
STORY 06: Ange and Lucifer.
Ange summons Lucifer in order to replace Beato as game master, so that she can rewrite the game and let him come home to her. She finds Beato and declares herself as the new game master before challenging her. After defeating her and Beato, Virgilia warns that Battler likely wouldn't agree to leave Beato's game unfinished, so Ange decides to fight Battler.
She finds him and Ronove, but Battler insists on finishing Beato's fight first. Eventually, they end up arguing, and then fighting. Upon defeat, Battler complains that he can't believe he lost their first sibling fight. Ange assumes the role of game master, and decides to make a tale where Battler apologizes to her.
STORY 07: Ange and EVA.
Ange asks EVA for the truth of Rokkenjima, but she refuses to tell her unless she follows her to 1986. EVA brings her to Ronove and Virgilia, and instructs the duo to tell Ange that there's no version of the truth that Ange will accept. Virgilia warns her to return to her world. After defeating them, Ange demands that she has a right to know the truth, EVA replies that she does have that right, but won't believe her.
They eventually find Beatrice and Battler. He promises to return to her, but EVA interjects and tells her that he'll never come home from fighting an endless battle with Beatrice. Battler yells that he'll come home, but Ange demands that she's already been waiting for 12 years. Once out of the gameboard, EVA tells her that is the truth, and while Ange refuses to believe it, she believes in Battler's promise to return home.
STORY 08: Virgilia and Ronove.
After hearing that Beatrice and Battler would probably continue fighting for eternity, Virgilia and Ronove decide to step in. When they ask EVA and Chiester 410, they refuse to answer on account of it being easier to defeat the two after they have been weakened. After beating them, 410 reveals that they are in the rose garden.
The arrive to the two throwing petty insults at each other. Virgilia orders them to calm down and clear their heads, but they refuse. After beating them, they force the duo into having a tea break while mediating the argument.
STORY 09: Virgilia and Beatrice.
Beato runs to Virgilia in a tantrum because a new person has become game master and changed the scenario to one where she is being bullied; Virgilia promises to help. They find Kanon and Ronove, who have been ordered to attack her. After defeating them, Virgilia orders them to tell her who the game master is, but they refuse. After a couple more fights, they find Ange and Lucifer, who admits that it was easy to take her gameboard due to Beatrice and Battler constantly playing around. Beatrice refuses to give Ange the gameboard, and Virgilia tries to mediate the argument, but the two end up fighting.
After defeating Ange, Virgilia orders her to return the gameboard to Beato, and promises her that Battler might return if he wins the fight against her. However, Beatrice butts in and tells her that she'll never give him up. In response, Virgilia punishes her.
STORY 10: Virgilia and Chiester 410.
Virgilia agrees to help Chiester 410 find whoever has stolen her carrots. Kanon tells them that he heard Shannon would be cooking them with burdock for dinner. 410 immediately calls Shannon a thief, but Virgilia tries to argue that she just mistook the ingredients.
Offscreen, Shannon praises Ronove for the number of dishes he can make with carrots; he comments that he didn't remember ordering the specific type of carrots he is using. 410 and Virgilia then barge in and ask for the carrots back. After defeating them, Ronove says his carrots must have been swapped out for the Chiester Corps' carrots. Shannon wonders where her own carrots went, and 410 reveals that she ate them. Virgilia then confiscates them to make carrot and mackerel miso curry rice soup for both them and the humans, much to the distaste of 410.
STORY 11: Ronove and Beatrice.
Beatrice and Ronove meet to discuss her next game, and she remarks to him that constantly winning is boring. Shannon and Kanon confront her as she begins the tragedy, and she challenges them to stop her serial murder of 13 people. Upon defeat, Shannon asks why the ceremony is necessary, and she replies that it's for her revival. Shannon doesn't understand why she needs to revive when she is already capable of talking and murder in her current state. Beatrice responds that if the ceremony is halted, they will be spared.
Battler and Ange challenge her to stop her ceremony. Battler hasn't fully worked out the specifics of how she's killing people, and Beatrice challenges him to think about why she's doing the ceremony in the first place. Battler doesn't care, and Beatrice comments that he'll disappoint her. Once he's defeated, he wonders how he can defeat Beatrice, and she tells him that he will need to solve her riddles. She completes the ceremony, but expresses disappointment that nobody managed to solve her puzzles.
STORY 12: Ronove and EVA.
EVA solves the epitaph, and Ronove crowns her as the new Golden Witch. She finds Beatrice and Virgilia, and goes mad with power, until she finds Ange and Lucifer. Ange denies that what she is being shown is the truth of Rokkenjima, and challenges her to a fight.
Once she beats the two, EVA tells Ronove that she is now the only person who knows the truth of the island, so that if she never speaks a word of the truth, it can be whatever she wants it to be. She seals the island in a catbox, with her as the only key to it. When Ronove asks her why she named Ange as the new Golden Witch, she tells him that Ange will weave together her own truth. The demon warns her that she'll be despised until the end of her life, but she replies that her life ended when she lost George, and thanks Ronove for his service.
STORY 13: Beatrice and Lucifer.
Beatrice summons Lucifer in order to make her laugh. They find Battler and Kanon and taunt the incompetent redhead with closed room murders. Beatrice soon crushes all his theories, leaving him to despair.
At the last minute, Shannon and Ronove show up to stop Beatrice. She declares that her reliance on closed room murders makes her not a witch, and Beato then tells her that she will make Shannon a victim of one. By killing her, she creates a perfect closed room, and thanks the servant for her sacrifice. She tells Beatrice that it will all eventually be solved, someday, and that she will only be a witch for that short period of time.
At the end of the route, Lucifer wonders if she will only exist until Beatrice's puzzles are solved. She confirms that they are only living until the catbox is opened. Lucifer then wishes her eternal life.
STORY 14: Beatrice and EVA.
EVA becomes the new Golden Witch, and teams up with Beato to complete her resurrection ceremony after being challenged her to test her strength. Beato summons Chiester 410 and Lucifer for her to fight; she compliments EVA after her sound defeat of the pair.
Battler and Virgilia find them, and Battler starts arguing about how gruesomely the new witch is killing people. Beato laughs at him for it, and the two argue some more before fighting. Once he loses, EVA promises to brutally murder him like she did George. Battler asks Beato if she's nothing more than a brutal monster, but she is unable to respond before EVA kills him. When EVA promises to be even more brutal, Beatrice tries to rein her in but she refuses, becoming the only person who gets to record the outcome of the island's tragedy.
STORY 15: Lucifer and Kanon.
Lucifer approaches Kanon by order of Beatrice in order to help improve his fighting skills. The two bicker about which of them is the stronger one before beginning.
Their first event is with Ronove and Virgilia, where Kanon and Lucifer argue about who is training who, and Virgilia offers that the two pairs spar. Their second event is where they meet Chiester 410 and Beatrice. After a bit of prying, Beatrice reveals that she sent Lucifer to Kanon so they could both improve their skills. Lucifer requests a trial, in order to show that she is the stronger of the two.
The two defeat Chiester 410 and Beatrice easily due to their improved speed and agility, and then try to get Beatrice to decide on which of them is the better fighter. When she suggests that both are very powerful, Kanon and Lucifer demand that they fight again so Beatrice can finally decide. Beatrice shouts for someone to come help her.
STORY 16: Lucifer and Chiester 410.
Chiester 410 suggests that herself and Lucifer band together to demand better treatment from Beatrice. While Lucifer is hesitant at first, she eventually decides to join with 410 after she suggests that her sisters will respect her more if she is more assertive.
After facing Ronove and Virgilia, they find Beatrice and EVA, who scoffs at them when they ask for snacks and naps, and begins to tease Lucifer for it. Lucifer then apologizes, but is interrupted by Chiester 410, who reminds her that her sisters are watching. Because of this, she nervously restates her original demands. After defeating the pair of witches, Chiester 410 warns Beatrice that Lucifer will quit if she doesn't accept her demands, and as Beatrice gets more and more angry, Lucifer begins to back down, but Chiester 410 identifies herself as Lucifer's representative and refuses to give up. However, Beatrice eventually accepts her demands, and gives the Seven Sisters three meals of carrots per day, causing the other stakes to make fun Lucifer for it.
STORY 17: Shannon and Kanon.
Kanon and Shannon decide to believe in the power of Beatrice's brooch and go through seven trials to become human. After the fourth trial, Ronove and Virgilia wish them luck.
The seventh and final trial is against Beatrice and Lucifer. However, once defeated, she tells them that two against one is not a fair trial, and tells them to take their true final trial.
The route ends with Kanon wondering what the true final trial is as they stand back-to-back in the rose garden, like in "Dawn of the Golden Witch""."
STORY 18: EVA and Chiester 410.
EVA summons Chiester 410 in order to increase their rankings in the character popularity poll. She notes that they wouldn't be able to outright beat the high-ranking characters, so she decides to crush everybody more popular than her to be ranked first.
They find Battler and Ange, who rank second and third, respectively. EVA and 410 defeat them, and she says that people shouldn't vote for fragile characters who are easily beaten.
They then find Beatrice, who is ranked first, and EVA wonders how she got into the top spot. After defeating her and Lucifer, Beatrice tries to reason with EVA, saying that there isn't a point to having a poll if she isn't in it. Soon, EVA ranks first in the poll, having crushed everybody ranked higher than her. When she asks who is in the third spot, 410 replies that there isn't anybody, because they defeated all of them.
STORY 19: Jessica and George.
After getting fed up with always playing the pieces who get killed, Jessica and George decide to fight against Beatrice. They find Battler and Ange, and insist on switching roles so that they will be the main characters, and tell him that they will search for the culprit themselves. After losing, Ange decides to take Battler back to the future, leaving Jessica and George to be the main characters.
They then find Beatrice and Lucifer, who Jessica declares to be the culprit. Beatrice tries to get them to figure out who is behind her, but they don't listen and are only focused on stopping her. After defeating her, Jessica attempts to reveal who she is, but George stops her, in the interest of stopping the crimes; if Beatrice is unmasked, she won't have any sway over the culprit, according to George. However, before parting, he asks for her motive. Beatrice refuses to tell him, but he suspects that he knows it.
As the route ends, Beatrice comments that she supposes this was one of the endings she had hoped for, and hands victory to George.
STORY 20: Shannon and George.
Shannon accepts George's marriage proposal, and George vows to make her his. They then find Jessica and Kanon, who vow to overcome them. Shannon apologies to the pair when she defeats them, and George tells her that she isn't furniture anymore.
He then finds EVA and Beatrice, and declares that the former will accept his marriage. She refuses, and Shannon tells Beatrice that she will abandon everything to be with him. They defeat the witches, and Beatrice tells her to not forget that she gathered her love from three pairs of lovers. Beatrice summons demons for the wedding, and the scene ends as they declare that they'll be together forever.
STORY 21: Kanon and Jessica.
Jessica decides to try to help Kanon be more assertive. When he tells her that he's furniture, she insists that he find the power to become human.
After fighting Chiester 410 and Lucifer, they find Battler and Ronove, who are preparing the next game. Kanon tries to speak to Battler, but stammers and can't form a sentence. After fighting them, he finally manages to get the courage to ask to play music with Jessica. Battler accepts the scenario, and writes it into the game. Jessica congratulates him on becoming human.
STORY 22: Rosa and Battler.
Rosa insists that one of the people on the island is responsible for the murders, but Battler refuses to believe her, so they begin to search for a 19th person. They approach Shannon and Kanon, and Rosa asks for their alibis. They both prove alibis for each other, but Rosa refuses to believe them due to the chance of a conspiracy by the servants. Battler tries to stop her, saying that if she doesn't trust anybody, they won't be able to prove anything; until the police come, Rosa refuses to trust anybody.
After talking to more people, Battler doesn't believe any of them were suspicious. Rosa agrees, and then turns on him, insisting that Battler is a wolf. Beatrice then appears in the metaworld to say that since no red truth exists to the pieces on the gameboard, there's no way to convince her otherwise. A second later, Black Battler appears to the three of them, and they fight him and Beato.
After defeating the two, Battler asks Rosa how he can prove his innocence. She tells him that she will believe him if he can explain the murders, and other things like the letter in the parlor. Battler, unable to do so, asks her how he knows she isn't the culprit. She tells him that if he trusts nobody, he'll never be betrayed. Then, she tells him that they'll make it up to each other in their next life.
A second later, the screen turns black as the sound of a gunshot rings out, and Rosa begins to scream for Beatrice to take her and Maria away from the island. After a second, she realizes that she's been betrayed again, and then begins to yell about how the only things you can trust are yourself and corpses, and that not trusting anybody paid off for her. The route ends as Rosa orders Maria to head for the ocean and try to swim away as she screams Beatrice's name.
STORY 23: Rosa and Beatrice.
Beatrice promises Rosa that if she solves the epitaph, she will get 20 billion yen, and Rosa vows to solve it. The pair finds George and Battler trying to solve it, and after defeating them, they tell her their leads on it.
They eventually find EVA, who has solved the riddle, and Chiester 410, right after Rosa solves it. EVA refuses to split it as agreed upon, but Rosa refuses to give her portion up. EVA asks why she is so fixated on the gold, since paying off her debt won't bring Maria's father back. After defeating EVA, she agrees to give Rosa her share. Rosa comments that she's finally put an end to one of her regrets. With that money, she decides to take a vacation with Maria to a hot spring.
STORY 24: Battler and Kanon.
This route follows the "Forgery no.XXX". story where Battler is the culprit and Kanon is brought along as an unwilling accomplice. Kanon reports to Battler, and the latter decides this is the perfect time to eliminate everyone. The first event is against Jessica (aided by Ronove), where Battler reveals his evil nature to her; the two battle and Jessica is defeated and killed.
Their second event is against George (aided by Virgilia), who deduced that Battler was the culprit, but didn't want to accept it. George decides to take matters into his own hands, and they fight. In the end, George is defeated and killed, and the Story ends as Beatrice (off-screen) speaks with Kanon and Battler.
STORY 25: Jessica and Shannon.
Jessica and Shannon ask Beatrice if there are any magical items that can grant love, and she tells them that demon flowers can do so, but very rarely bloom. In their search to find them, they run into Chiester 410 and Lucifer, who refuse to tell them where the roses are.
After being defeated, they tell them that they saw rose petals somewhere. Jessica then finds Ronove and Virgilia, and the demon butler tells Shannon that roses bloom from his blood. They then beat up Ronove in order to get the petals for the demon roses.
STORY 26: Ange and Virgilia.
Ange and Virgilia are arguing about something, and decide to seek a second opinion. They find Beato and Chiester 410; Beatrice agrees with Ange, but Virgilia refuses to go along with them.
They then find Ronove and Battler, who are having tea. Battler lets the demon be in charge of it, and Ange takes this as evidence that her viewpoint is correct. After fighting the two, Virgilia finally concedes that her opinion is wrong, and that Ronove would be the dominant person if he and Battler got into a relationship. The route ends as Battler, confused, asks what the thin books (doujinshi) Ange has are.
STORY 27: Ronove and George.
George demands that Ronove show him how to become a true man. When he asks Ange and Virgilia, they suggest that a man's heart is not wholly kind, and suggest becoming a sadist. George then promises to rebuild himself as Dark George.
He approaches Shannon and Lucifer, and promises to claim Shannon as his own. He orders Lucifer to get on all fours and lick his shoes, and Ronove wonders if the two are a match for George, an awakened glasses sadist. After defeating them both, he orders Lucifer again, and tells Shannon to kneel and swear her eternal love for him (while informing her that he will not take no for an answer). Ronove comments that he's become a true demon king, and is only one step away from becoming a true man, with the last step being buff.
STORY 28: George and Beatrice.
Beatrice calls George over to test his love for Shannon. She summons EVA and Ronove, the former of which describes the original fiancee she picked out for him: pale skin, dark hair, with massive breasts. George is tempted by the offer, but he overcomes it and defeats the pair, declaring that he'll only love Shannon. Beato notes that he's weak against large breasts.
In response, she summons Chiester 410 and Lucifer to tempt him to cheat on Shannon by talking about their breasts in front of him. Beato tempts him again by promising all the Chiesters and Stakes to be his own personal harem if he accepts and breaks his engagement with Shannon. After defeating them, he tells Shannon that he loves her, but his hands have been too dirtied to touch her. He then recalls a dream where he was surrounded by a harem of Beato's furniture in bikinis, and begs Shannon to scold him.
STORY 29: Rosa and EVA.
Rosa confronts EVA after she solves the epitaph, demanding to become a witch since she was also able to solve it (albeit a little later than EVA). When EVA teases her about it, she admits that she wants to be able to use magic in a cute outfit. EVA then decides to help her.
They come to Beatrice and Virgilia with their concerns. Virgilia warns her that training is difficult, but Rosa insists that she just wants to wear cute clothes and use magic, not necessarily become a witch. EVA points out that this would make her a magical girl, not a witch. After winning, Beato tells her that if she wins 3 more times, she will become a magical girl.
The final fight is against Erika and Dlanor. Erika makes jokes about her being a magical MILF instead, angering Rosa. She beats the pair, and Beato grants her wish, turning them both into magical girls.
STORY 30: Rosa and Chiester 410.
Rosa summons Chiester 410 in order to get her to tidy up (ROSA defines it as crushing people's dreams as the Black Witch), and then defeats Ange and Kanon, erasing their dreams. She then goes after Beatrice and Shannon, who vows to protect Maria's dream. After defeating them, Rosa smashes one of Maria's block castles as she tidies up, and shoves Chiester 410 back into the toybox.
STORY 31: Erika and Ange.
Erika and Ange talk about how Amakusa was out to kill Ange, who declares that she'll live until she reaches her personal truth. After finding EVA, she declares that she's the culprit, but Ange isn't entirely sure she's telling the truth. Erika points out that there is no evidence that contradicts it as EVA tells Ange to hate her. After the fight, Ange comments that the identity of the culprit is meaningless to her. Erika then asks what type of truth she's looking for.
Finally, the pair find Beatrice and Battler, the latter of whom promises to come back to her; Beatrice declares that he's unable to escape from her gameboard. Ange replies that she doesn't care about the game, and seeks a different truth.
After defeating the duo, Erika and Ange return to the boat, with both the Eva culprit theory and Beatrice denied. Despite all their investigations, they couldn't find any of Battler's remains, or any trace of him on Rokkenjima Prime, meaning that there isn't definite proof that he died in the incident; there's still a chance he's alive and will return to her. The two then decide to take the boat over the horizon, to the place they both seek.
STORY 32: Dlanor and Virgilia.
Dlanor and Virgilia meet up for tea; Virgilia decides to read her one of Beatrice's books, but has to find it first.
They find EVA and Beatrice, who challenge Dlanor with a closed-room mystery. She manages to solve it, and Virgilia decides to find a more challenging book. They find Ronove, who shows her a more challenging book. She's confused, since the room only includes Battler and Ronove shut inside the room and sharing a bed.
Virgilia figures out that the book is actually a doujinshi and tries to confiscate it, while lecturing Beatrice to not mix them in with the mystery novels.
STORY 33: Black Battler and Shannon.
Shannon meets Black Battler at the shrine, who's surprised that she was still there. Shannon replied that she would be wherever he is. Black Battler asks Shannon if she was referring to him, not Battler, and then realizes that someone was there for him. Shannon asks now if he understands that they should be together. Black Battler agrees and they commit murders together, with Shannon retaking her true name to seperate herself from the girl she was.
They encounter George and Rosa soon after. Rosa asks for their alibis, to which Black Battler wholeheartedly admits to being the killer. They then defeat the two, and Sayo tells George that she is not the Shannon who loves him before murdering him.
After that, they have a face off against Kanon and Jessica, who were promptly killed after they were defeated. Now that Black Battler and Sayo are the only ones left, Sayo asks him to kill her. He complies and the story ends with him laughing after exclaiming that he is the murderer while holding Sayo's corpse close to him.
STORY 34: Erika and Dlanor.
After proving that alibis of everybody but Natsuhi, Erika concludes that she is the culprit. Battler and Beato arrive to challenge this, but Erika refuses to listen unless they can demonstrate a trick that somebody other than Natsuhi could've used for the crime. However, neither of them can supply an alternate explanation.
They then find Shannon and Jessica, the latter using her alternate color palette resembling Natsuhi. Erika mistakes her for Natsuhi at first, and Jessica comments that she and her mom look the same now, making it possible to form a theory where the culprit was Jessica in disguise. After defeating them, Erika eliminates all the possible opposition to the Natsuhi Culprit Theory. However, Dlanor then receives information from the witch senate, signed by Lambdadelta and Bernkastel, proclaiming that they thought the Jessica Culprit Theory was funny and will concur with it. According to the witch senate, they received knowledge that Jessica and Natsuhi like to dress up as each other.
The route ends with Natsuhi, dressed up as Jessica, performing at the school festival.
STORY 35: Willard and Kanon.
Kanon and Will train together after Kanon confesses that he desires strength. They run into Battler and Ronove, and Kanon feels inferior against them; Will tells him to defeat them and overcome that feeling. However, even after defeating them, Kanon still feels unhappy with himself.
They then find Erika and Dlanor. Erika suggests that the thing Battler and Ronove have that Kanon doesn't is height. Kanon then realizes that is the source of his complex, and Erika mocks him for it. After defeating them, Will gives him elevator boots to increase his height. When Kanon talks about how his pride cannot allow him to wear them, Will admits that he also wears them. Kanon tries them on and is ecstatic, but Dlanor whispers to Will that he doesn't wear elevator boots; he tells her to be quiet.
STORY 36: Willard and Dlanor.
Willard and Dlanor get tasked by the Great Court to eliminate evil witches. They find EVA and Virgilia, who menacingly start to describe themselves as hiding among the shadows under the bed and in the hallway. Dlanor vows to destroy the evil witches, and EVA refutes that they're only playing pranks. Once the two are defeated, Dlanor comments that Will has changed from his former coldblooded self, who wouldn't have accepted a job such as the one they're currently tasked with.
A little later, Will comments that she's going a little too far.
They finally find Beatrice and Lucifer, who warn them that they'll transport them to the world of witches if the lights are turned off. After beating them, Shannon, the one who put in the request, appears and thanks the duo.
Later, Shannon is reading a bedtime story to Ange and Maria, and tells them how Dlanor and Will got rid of all the scary witches under the bed, in the closet, and around the island. Shannon reassures Ange that the witches won't give her nightmares anymore thanks to them.
STORY 37: Lambdadelta and Jessica.
Because she was jealous of George and Shannon's trip to Okinawa, Jessica also wants to have a vacation. Since Natsuhi would never let her do it, she asks Lambdadelta for help.
They meet Ronove and Shannon, who freaks out when Jessica mentions wanting an overnight trip with Kanon; Ronove informs her that Kanon's schedule is full during the summer. Lambda tells her to use force to get her wish, and once they defeat them, Ronove promises to talk to Genji about giving Kanon a break during the summer.
They then meet Kanon and Battler; Jessica asks out Kanon, but he refuses on account of being furniture. She tells him that he isn't furniture, but they fight anyways.
Afterwards, Kanon begrudgingly accepts the offer, but is still concerned over a teenage boy and girl being alone together. Lambda promises that they won't be alone; the route ends with a cut to Lambda watching the two playing together in the water.
STORY 38: Bernkastel and Willard.
Bern summons Will to take her on a walk, and orders him to attack Jessica and Rosa. Will refuses, but she threatens to not let him go home for eternity if he doesn't.
They then find Battler and George, and after defeating them, Bern is satisfied enough to let him return. He compares her to Diana, who shows up whenever she likes and stops when she gets bored. She tells him that people don't like uncute cats, but he tells her that if cats are living however they wish to, they aren't constantly pestering you. She then tells him that she'll have him walk with a cat again sometime.
When she arrives back, Erika asks where she has been, and she replies she was on a walk with a handsome man.
STORY 39: Bernkastel and Erika.
As Erika finalizes her preparations to attack the Golden Land, Bern orders her to slowly destroy it and not let anybody escape. They run into George and Rosa, who swear to defend the Golden Land, but get killed by Erika. Bern comments that humans dying is like fireworks to her, and Erika in response decides to look for Battler and Beato, so that Bern sees their deaths. They eventually find the two and defeat them.
Erika reports to Bern that the Golden Land has disappeared into nothingness, and Bern comments that they may have messed up what they were supposed to do; if Beato had won the last fight, they may have been able to play with her gameboard more, and ponders how much time it will take before they find another interesting gameboard.
STORY 40: Lambdadelta and Chiester 410.
There is some sort of tournament involving Lambdadelta and Chiester 410 that has a Love Maker Guided Warhead with the ability to make people fall in love as a grand prize. The duo manages to defend it against Shannon and Jessica, and as a result the warhead absorbs their romantic energy, making it more and more powerful.
Lambda originally wanted to use an arrow on Bern in order to make Bern fall in love with her. However, she changes her mind and decides not to use it after defeating her and Erika. It was then when Erika had the idea of stealing the arrow from Lambda and using it on Bern because she wanted her master to love her.
The two end up in a scuffle attempting to snatch the arrow from each other's tight grip. Lambda then accidentally releases the arrow from her hand and it gets stuck on Erika's chest. Because the arrow was meant to make whoever got struck with it fall in love with Lambda, Erika falls under its affects, and the route ends with Lambda fending off her advances.
STORY 41: Bernkastel and Lambdadelta.
Lambda and Bern decide to play around since Beatrice's game is beginning to wind down. Eventually, they end up finding Beatrice and Battler, who are angry that they're mocking and playing with their game. Lambda and Bern both laugh-to them, Beatrice's game is only a fragment in an endless sea, and that playing with those fragments helps alleviate their boredom.
After defeating them, Lambda asks who the culprit is, but Beato tells her that she won't reach an answer unless she understands the heart. Lambda just wants to know the answer, and doesn't care enough to see through to the game's heart. When Beato still refuses to tell her because of this, Bern threatens to smash the gameboard.
Eventually, they end up facing Dlanor and Will, who have heard that they have been trampling on Beatrice's heart, and try to stop them. Bern and Lambda disregard them, and claim that defying them is an act of treason against the world. After beating them, the pair comes to a loss on what to do now that Beatrice's gameboard is gone, and the other existing boards are boring. Bern laments that the people in the Golden Land are having fun while they're stuck outside of it. Bored, she suggests that that they create their own gameboard. Lambda says that if they do, other witches will complain, so sticking strictly to being consumers is a better way to go. Bern tells her that because of that, all the other witches are consumers, and there's nothing left in the sea of fragments but boredom.

# Golden Land
The is a location alluded to as the final destination of the witch's epitaph, reached after the conclusion of the ten twilights.
Accounts.
Several accounts of what the Golden Land is like are given in the story. In the context of the epitaph, it is said to be a location reached the tenth twilight. This, however, requires the completion of the previous nine twilights, including the ninth twilight where "none shall be left alive". Those who reach the Golden Land attain four treasures:
Maria often describes the Golden Land in glowing terms. According to her, it is a place where there are no obligations and everyone lives together in harmony. She specifically mentions that there her mother Rosa is nice to her and her father is with them too. Because of the resurrection of the souls of the dead in the Golden Land, Maria does not fear death in the witch's ceremony. Much of her understanding of the Golden Land stems from Beatrice, who promised to take Maria to the Golden Land with her.
For Shannon and Kanon, the Golden Land is viewed as a place where everything will one day return, and they will be released from the burden and shame of being furniture. The promised day when the door to the Golden Land will be opened is also referred to as the "day of rest" for furniture. There, the two of them will gain humanity. Kanon places a huge amount of importance on reaching the Golden Land, wanting to be able to find love as a human there where he cannot in the real world.
In "Alliance of the Golden Witch", Shannon told Kanon that she was once brought to the Golden Land for a short time by Beatrice. She described the place to be like a pleasant dream. Rather than a place where wishes are granted, it is a calm world where wishing for anything is unnecessary. Everyone there is equal, and there is no distinction of human, furniture, or witch. Because it is a world characterized by absence, both suffering and happiness are equally absent in this world.
Description.
The Golden Land as a meta-world location has two appearances. It is first shown in "Banquet of the Golden Witch" as a fantastical version of the mansion's entrance hall, filled with golden butterflies. Its most common appearance, as introduced in "Alliance of the Golden Witch", is that of a fantastical version of the rose garden, where both the roses and butterflies are colored gold. In addition, the arbor has a different, more ornate design with an open structure.
The rose garden version of the Golden Land is based on the Keisei Rose Garden in Chiba. The entrance hall version is based on Berrick Hall in Yokohama.
Real World Interpretations.
Going by the accounts of those who have solved the epitaph, the "Golden Land" simply refers to the hidden underground VIP room in which the 10 tons of gold and the incendiary device connected to the 900 tons of explosives are stored. Written on the door to the VIP room is the line from the epitaph—"On the tenth twilight, the journey shall end, and you shall reach the capital where the gold dwells."
The fantastical accounts of the Golden Land can be interpreted in multiple ways. In the "Twilight of the Golden Witch" manga, Erika declares to Battler during their duel that the Golden Land is actually the land of the dead. This accounts for the majority of the portrayals and accounts of the Golden Land in the story. However, the Golden Land in "Requiem of the Golden Witch" was not introduced as a place after death and may be instead interpreted as Yasuda's personal imaginary world. It is explained in the manga arc "Confession of The Golden Witch" that as Yasuda's suffering began to intensify, her perception of the Golden Land warped and became synonymous with her ideal afterlife—prompting her to plan the mass murder-suicide to drag everyone there with her. This idea is further augmented in later chapters of the "Twilight of the Golden Witch" manga after Ange's arrival in the Golden Land; particularly in Chapter 25 (Cage of Constraints).
It also bears some significance that the form in which the Golden Land is imagined to be differs between characters, possibly reflecting the differences in their ideal worlds.
Story.
Banquet of the Golden Witch.
Following Battler's acknowledgment of Beatrice while in the darkness created by Beatrice's denial of witches in red, the two reach the Golden Land, shown here as a fantastical version of the mansion's entrance hall. There they are welcomed by all of the Ushiromiya family household as well as the fantasy characters, who mingle freely with each other as equals. Even Natsuhi and Eva are uncharacteristically commiserating with each other over the fact that their children are romantically involved with servants.
Battler and Beatrice are taken to the balcony of the entrance hall n order to sign the invitation to the Golden Land, which must be maintained by the acknowledgment of all present in it. The document in question involves the acknowledgment that Beatrice is a witch. Ange breaks into the Golden Land in the nick of time, exposing Beatrice's trick and preventing Battler from signing it.
Alliance of the Golden Witch.
In this arc, Beatrice shuts herself up in the Golden Land with Maria after deciding to abandon the gameboard due to Battler's inability to remember his sin. From this point forward, the Golden Land is portrayed in its rose garden form. Ange later arrives at the Golden Land in order to force Beatrice to return to the game. She brings up the fact that Beatrice cannot truly revive Sakutarou here and revives him herself in front of Maria. In doing this, she gets Maria to leave the Golden Land, causing it to collapse due to the requirement that it must be supported by at least two people.
During the Tea Party, Battler reaches again the Golden Land at the end of the second day, and there carries out his final battle with Beatrice. Unlike on other occasions, the Golden Land is colored with a red glow during this battle, and the roses are also red.
End of the Golden Witch.
Following Beatrice's defeat in the fourth game, Battler spends time with her doll-like remaining self in the Golden Land, and there attempts to contemplate her moves and motives. He initially boycotts the fifth game due to its takeover by Bernkastel and Lambdadelta by spending time here but eventually decides to return to it in order to take it back from them.
During a break following the first twilight, Battler returns to the Golden Land, where he and Virgilia have a conversation with Dlanor. The three of them discuss many topics, such as the nature of magic, the voyager witches' motives, Knox's decalogue, and the relationship between author and reader in mystery novels. The second part of this conversation is recalled during the ???.
Requiem of the Golden Witch.
During the fifth chapter of Clair's story, Shannon is brought to the Golden Land by Yasuda, who has now become Beatrice (depicted in Clair's dress). The place, however, is referred to as a Golden Paradise instead. Beatrice invites Shannon to spend eternity with her in this place, where she can be released from all the burdens of being a servant. Shannon, however, refuses her invitation as she has found love in the real world.
Shannon revisits the Golden Paradise several times over the course of the next few years, and there Beatrice and Gaap try to comfort her regarding Battler's abandonment of his promise to return. In 1983, Beatrice and Shannon admit that their rationalization of his forgetting was a mistake, and Beatrice accepts the bud of Shannon's love in her place, telling her to instead find love with someone else. She also changes her form to that of Battler's ideal woman and gives Shannon a younger "brother" servant Kanon.
After the portrait of the witch and epitaph are put up in 1984, Beatrice decides to rename her own world the "Golden Land" in accordance with the words on it. She also ends up befriending Maria, and the two of them spend time together in the Golden Land naming the various fantasy characters.
Twilight of the Golden Witch.
In the final arc, the Golden Land serves as the final refuge of the Ushiromiya family from the onslaught of goat men created by the interpretations of people in the future. Erika lays siege to the Golden Land with the Library Fleet in an attempt to seize Beatrice's gameboard for the City of Books. The members of the Golden Land attempt to stall for time by enacting a fabricated argument among each other, but are eventually exposed by Erika. Following this, she and the goats wage an all out war against the Ushiromiya family and fantasy characters, where the Ushiromiya family defends themselves from attacks on their character interpretations by the goats. The battle eventually ends with Erika's victory and the destruction of the Golden Land and everything in it. During the final battle against Bernkastel, ANGE-Beatrice is able to resurrect everyone. After the defeat of the voyager witch, the Golden Land is restored within her.
Decades later, Battler reaches the Golden Land after Tohya is brought to the restored Fukuin House, and is finally reunited with Beatrice and his family for eternity.

# Grave Mole
Grave Mole, officially designated the 100th Aerial Augmented Infantry Experimental Squad, is a squad that belongs to the AOU.
Profile.
"Attached to the AOU Combined Military Geroy Level 4 Heavy Military Research CenterThe 100th Aerial Augmented Infantry Experimental Squad Grave Mole"
"An experimental squad attached to a military research center. It was entered into the International Battle Standard Festival as the result of a political decision, for the purpose of collecting research data. Their kette is composed of two Defenders and one Sniper, making for an extremely defensive pattern. Chloe manages all the autonomous weaponry used for establishing a position, Lilja controls the skies with a swarm of air defense drones, and Koshka focuses on intercepting attacks as a sniper. This fighting style is ideally suited for one of the Battle Standard Festival's events, Tower Defense, and they are expected to medal there."
"It's presumed that, for the sake of maintaining a healthy military balance, the International Peace Mediation Association will shift the world's military might to a defensive focus, and this style was seemingly formed with that in mind. After hearing this, they may sound like camping snipers, but they actually love air wars and jumbled battles, so they seem to be aiming for the ridiculous new genre of run-and-gun snipers."
Story.
Grave Mole is formally introduced in Chapter 2 at the International Battle Standard Festival.
In Chapter 15, they join the Order of the Public Bath.
In Chapter 17, Grave Mole enters combat with COU forces above the Amur River.
In Chapter 24, Grave Mole is joined by several trainee Gauntlet Knights for the final battle before the second global truce.

# Great Hinamizawa Disaster
The is an event where the entire population of Hinamizawa was killed overnight by volcanic gas.
Origin.
One night in June 1983, volcanic gas consisting of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide erupted from the Onigafuchi Swamp in Hinamizawa and killed every person living in the village. With this sudden catastrophe, over 600,000 people in nearby cities like Okinomiya were evacuated by local governments. The JSDF later discovered that the gas was produced by magma pools and hot springs under the swamp.
Hinamizawa's legends believed that their god Oyashiro-sama would destroy the village with miasma erupting from Onigafuchi Swamp if he were angry, with scholars believing this to be inspired by similar gas disasters happening in the past. Before the Great Hinamizawa Disaster, villagers discovered that Rika Furude was murdered, her entrails strewn out in a manner that resembled the classic Watanagashi Festival. Because Rika was the last living member of the Furude family and was seen as Oyashiro-sama's reincarnation, survivors of the disaster believe that her sacrilegious death was what angered their god and caused the disaster in the first place.
Aftermath and Impact.
The entire Hinamizawa area became a prohibited zone after the disaster; people weren't allowed to visit the village, and planes were also not allowed to fly overhead. The swamp was filled in with concrete to prevent any more gas from leaking out. The lockdown was temporarily lifted after the gas density went down, but after another gas burst was reported it was closed off again. Hinamizawa wouldn't be reopened for good until 10 to 20 years after the incident.
Many survivors of the disaster were hospitalized for sickness, some dying from unknown causes. There were others proclaiming they were possessed by Oyashiro-sama and committed suicide. There was a massive social impact where people became terrified of being killed overnight by poison gas and were afraid of even the slightest odd smell, resulting in insomnia, headaches and other problems.
The media sensationalized the Great Hinamizawa Disaster, connecting it to the string of annual deaths and disappearances known as Oyashiro-sama's curse. The manga arc "Onisarashi-hen" shows that people from Hinamizawa were even murdering their entire families before committing suicide, which TV shows and magazines heavily reported on. The widespread media influence resulted in Hinamizawans becoming treated as freaks, not helped by rumors that the villagers were descended from demons.
True Nature.
In actuality the Great Hinamizawa Disaster is man-made. It is a cover-up for the enactment of Emergency Manual 34, a plan to exterminate the villagers to avoid a Hinamizawa Syndrome outbreak.
The Irie Clinic has been secretly researching Hinamizawa Syndrome for years, a virus that every villager in Hinamizawa is infected with that makes people become incredibly violent when in the terminal stages. Rika is supposed to be the queen carrier for the virus, and her presence calms symptoms in the villagers and prevents them from going insane. It is thus believed that if she died, every single villager would enter terminal stages of Hinamizawa Syndrome within 48 hours and commit all sorts of atrocities after that time. The virus' existence is kept secret from the rest of the world, and an outbreak of symptoms with a population this size would be disastrous both to the world at large and to the Japanese Prime Minister's political plans, part of the reason that the manual is even considered in the first place. To that end, Emergency Manual 34 was devised by the clinic to exterminate the villagers should the queen carrier die in order to preserve the secret. Equipment such as gas canisters are secretly stored in Yagouchi Quarry and maintained regularly, as Rika could die at any time.
Miyo Takano, one of the leading members of the Irie Clinic, is the true mastermind behind the Great Hinamizawa Disaster in every arc and chooses to bring it about to prove that her grandfather's research into Hinamizawa Syndrome and his queen carrier theory were legitimate. If she could successfully prove his research factual then it would be talked about for years, and she and her grandfather would be practically seen as gods.
To that end, Takano kidnaps Rika by knocking her out and personally dissects and kills her, leaving her mutilated corpse out in the open for the rest of the villagers to discover. The death of the queen carrier is soon reported to the Prime Minister, and permission to enact the manual is given. In accordance with Emergency Manual 34, the Secrecy Preservation Unit affiliated with the clinic wakes up the villagers at night and rounds them up in disaster shelters and other buildings on the pretense that there is a gas leak and they are being evacuated. Windows, doors and other cracks are sealed up with duct tape to prevent gas from leaking in, with the unknowing villagers helping because of their strong sense of unity. Gas canisters are then deployed to kill everyone once they are assembled, with permission given to shoot fleeing villagers. Poisoned villagers' corpses are then gathered up, with shot villagers' corpses collected somewhere else. Once all the villagers have been disposed of, control of the operation is given to official disaster recovery organizations. A cover story is then put out that the villagers all died in a natural gas disaster.
Other Information.
The extra arc "Yoigoshi" describes rumors that Hinamizawa became a "land of the dead" after the disaster. It was believed that the spirits of the victims still inhabited the land, and this was actually witnessed firsthand by Akira Otobe and his companions.
