~~Terumasa Nanjo~~

Died in the servant room, his throat sliced open by a sharp blade or something similar. However, this alone isn't enough.

~~Kumasawa~~

Died in the servant room, her throat sliced open by a sharp blade or something similar.

The finishing touches are yet to come.

I won't say it in red, alright...? I won't deny the possibility that after they locked this door and left, someone was hiding in this room, alright...? Hahahahaha!

...If they were hiding under the bed, that doesn't necessarily mean that they wouldn't be able to carry the bodies away somewhere. But that way, they couldn't lock the door! The master key they want to all that trouble to get their hands on was set down right here! That's right, I'd forgotten. What about the keys specifically for this room, the servant room keys?!

Hmm. Those are kept in the key box in the center of the servant room. There are several servant room keys, but all of those are inside the key box.

Which means that the situation hasn't changed at all since the time with the key to Jessica's room... It's not like the servants would walk around with an unnecessary key when the have those convenient master keys. I can accept that they're all kept in the key box...

And nothing has changed in the other conditions. Entry or exit is impossible except for the single door and single window. Therefore, hidden doors and irregular methods of entry cannot exist. Rejoice, great detectives. Hahahaha! And those were both locked. The door and the window do not permit any kind of entry or exit when they are locked. So it wouldn't work to remove the door and make a crack to slide in through or anything like that while the lock is still on. And obviously, it is impossible to unlock the door without a key to the servant room or a master key.

But you can't repeat that someone was hiding in this room! However, that alone won't break open the door of a closed room... aah, damn it, damn it! It's useless, it's useless, it's all useless!

Hahahaha! What happened to that turning-over-the-chessboard thing that you're so proud of? Please, announce your boastful strange theory.

...Turn the board around. What would I do if I were the culprit? I carry the corpses off somewhere. I leave a letter. I lock the door from the inside. Then I just have to escape this room by some means... damn it, is that even possible?! I was told in red that you can't get outside except by the door or the window! Ah...

Beato. Before I ask you to repeat anything, I want to check the definition of a hidden door.

What have you thought of? Very well, I'll explain. A hidden door refers to an entrance or exit that cannot be recognized by those who do not know of it. Even children know that.

I kept thinking that it was something that let the culprit escape the closed room. That's wrong. Even the culprit couldn't escape the closed room! So the culprit decided to hide until we passed by!

In other words, if something allowed a person to hide, but not exit the room, it wouldn't be a hidden door.

The culprit is in the room at this very moment! It's checkmate!

Hoh... hoh...!

I'll bet I hit you where it hurts! If you refuse, then say you refuse, damn it! Here comes the next one! Repeat it!

Let's go back to Jessica's room. When Jessica's corpse was discovered, only Battler, George, Maria, Rosa, Genji, Gohda, Shannon, Kumasawa and Nanjo were in Jessica's room. Whoops, the corpse of Jessica is also included. Therefore, both in the case of Jessica's room and the case in this servant room, no humans exist that you were not aware of. No one is hiding. And I'll say more: No method exists by which the door can be locked from the outside without using a key. Regarding the window, no method exists by which it could somehow be locked from the outside.

D... Dumbaaaaasss... So... it's really... a closed room... it was so hard to think of, too... If you had been hiding... that explanation would fit everything! Just when I thought I'd broken the trick... damn iiiit...

What's wrong, Ushiromiya Battleeer? Weren't you so confident you could deny witches? Why are you groveling and wringing out bitter tears in a place like that? Yes, that's a really wonderful method. Truly wonderful how you tried to make me fall over laughing and drown in a sea from the tears of my own laughter. That's what you were really trying to do, right? You were trying to make me laugh and laugh and laugh myself to death, right, Ushiromiya Battleeeeer?!

Magic?! I'll definitely deny witches exist! I definitely won't beileve in you! You used the power of magic, and bullied and killed everyone for fun? I definitely won't accept thaaaaaaat!

Hey, Battler? Sorry for bullying you too much. I'll turn the chessboard around from my side! I'll teach your side the best move in your place. Want to heeeear?

Don't screw with me, I don't want to hear, I don't want to hear!

The case in Jessica's room. You really struck on a good spot, right? Trying to hide and wait for you to pass by. That truly was a good observation. But why do you think that could only be Kanon or me, the 19th person...? I see, the 'hide' part of the 'hide and wait for you to pass' must have gotten in the way, so you didn't think that far.

If Jessica were the culprit, this would be easy. She killed Kanon, carried him off somewhere, then played dead.

This would also require Nanjo to be a culprit. In which case, the third murder is even easier - he just walked out.

Everything snaps into place if you pin the crime on Jessica.

Shannon is a wolf, so that means George is also a wolf. George could have stolen the chapel key.

Everyone is a wolf, Battler. There is nobody left who you can trust.

That's why I'm here! Come on, Battler, kneel. Then swear your eternal loyalty and lick my shoes! If you accept me, all of the riddles will be resolved. With my power, any kind of closed room can be created or destroyed! Battler, don't you want to abandon yourself to the joy of surrendering to one with power?! I'll make you my favorite furniture. I'll love you so much and make you my toy until you turn to ashes!
