BGM: Patchwork Chimera
Yes, my master!

You CALLED?

I want you to stay in this Fragment and explain everything in the remaining 1st through 4th games. That pitiful transient witch who claims the Illusion of the Witch no longer exists herself. Expose the frank truth thoroughly.

Leave it to me, my master. There is no riddle that I, Furudo Erika, cannot solve!

Of course. That's why you're my piece, my double. Hehehehehehe!


It is possible to explain all of the past four games with Natsuhi as the criminal, or with certain irregularities based off that theme. I won't let anyone say it's the crime of the witch Beatrice again. I'll start compiling it together at once, and then present a first-rate tale to you.

You mustn't leave even a single fragment of Beato's Legend of the Witch behind. The rumors among the servants, the way people talked about unexplained events as though that legend was the cause, the Illusion of the Witch that worked alongside the illusion of Kinzo. Deal with all of them completely.

Of course. I'll get to it right away. We now have the furniture in custody. We're hurrying to identify their vessels.


Eiserne Jungfrau has already begun its INVESTIGATION. According to the most recent results, there is a high probability that they were constructed during the 1960's in the vicinity of New York. An aide has already been sent to the LOCATION.

The 1960s? The Seven Sisters of Purgatory are Made In The USA? Pfft... Even though they bragged about being furniture connected with King Solomon and serving a thousand year old witch, they're a total sham. Who was it?

According to the report, there's this group of big-time swindlers who make money by selling fakes to rich fans of the occult.

Because the deceived millionaires try to resell the fakes as though they were real, there's a chance that they've been falsely deified by enthusiasts in the FIELD. We are rushing to find confirmation and further DETAILS.

So Ushiromiya Kinzo was a sucker who'd pay big bucks for any fake occult object.


Though they call themselves the seven deadly sins, they're actually cheap, fake souvenirs. Well, from the very beginning, I figured they were nothing more than paperweights sold at some shady souvenir shop.

Paperweights! Ahhahahahahahahahahahaha! Have you confronted the Seven Sisters with that truth yet?

No, not YET.

They still seriously believe that they were created by a great sorcerer over a thousand years ago. I'd like to confront them with perfect evidence and the truth right away and let them know that they're mere paperweights worth less than 30 US dollars.

When you do, I wonder what their faces will look like as they lose all hope. I can't wait. Call for me when that happens. I'll come to watch, with some of the best black tea and dried plums.


An execution is not a SHOW. As a general rule, it is not made PUBLIC.

This is an inspection by the Great Lady Bernkastel, member of the senate, so she can observe that the Great Cort is performing its duties satisfactorily. Do you, as a mere Inquisitor of Heresy, wish to block this?

Yeah, that's right. I'm just observing as a representative of the senate to make sure you observe the proper procedures when you carry out your work. Hehehehehehe...

We are currently preparing to take Virgilia, Ronove, and Gaap into custody as well. The Siesta Sisters Imperial Guards are conducting that investigation. Of course, we will then detain and execute those three as connected to Beatrice.

Dlanor. What is the true nature of the Siesta Sisters?

We believe there is a high likelihood that their vessels are weapons used in the CRIME. For this purpose, Senior Aide Gertrude has formed a special TEAM. We are currently investigating all CASES.

I'm looking forward to the Siesta Sisters' executions, too! One at a time, or all of them at once?

No one's stupid enough to put an entire can of tea leaves in a pot at once. You've got to enjoy it slowly, one spoonful at a time.

Exactly! Let's have their executions on consecutive days. For the furniture and the witches, one by one, I'll send you an execution show every day.

Wonderful. After all, there really are a lot of them. Looks like we'll be able to enjoy ourselves for a full two weeks. Maybe we can let them decide which ones to execute first. Heheheheheheheh! Make sure you think up something great for the execution concept. I'd like to enjoy executions both old and new, from east and west every day.

The rules stat that the method of execution is to follow Great Court REGULATIONS.

Leave it to me, my master. I will most certainly prepare you a fascinating execution show!

At the very least, you've got to quarter one of them.

Of course. I shall make a list of the best forms of execution from all countries, from Europe to Asia, which were used by kingdoms east and west for nothing less than treason against the king!

I'd like to think of some execution methods myself. Pondering that will be the perfect way to relax on those sleepless nights. I'll iron out my ideas and send you a letter soon.

Certainly, my master. Then we'll have the Bernkastel-style one as the grand finale. At the very end, when all of the illusions are broken and Beato's magical compendium has been completely crushed, I shall present my master with the finest execution she desires... the execution of Beatrice!





You will eradicate and erase Beatrice's name and all traces of her. Until that is finished, I will order that you be made the master of this sealed-off Rokkenjima. By the name of the Witch of Miracles, Bernkastel, I proclaim that you will be given the rank of witch until that day. From now on, you will call yourself Erika, the Witch of Truth.

Th... The Witch... of Truth...! Th-Thank you very much, my master! I vow to work even harder so that this honor is not wasted!


Dlanor, continue to aid Erika and report on her progress to me.

As you WISH.

By the way, where's Lambda?

She is over THERE.
BGM: About Face

What a wonderful way to die. Erika! You can hang Battler's corpse in the mansion's reception hall. The next time I come to visit this Fragment, welcome me in front of it.

Certainly, my master. I'll make that foolish man an eternal monument to my master's victory!

That sounds wonderful, really tasteful. Maybe you can coat him with plaster and make a beautiful white statue. And it'd be wonderful if you decorated him all cute!

Yes, Lady Lambdadelta. I will strive to answer to your expectations!

Congratulations on becoming a witch. Though it will just be for a while, I'll welcome you as a friend.


In the end, I'd like to have Beato stuffed, too. Then I'll decorate the reception hall with her.

Galaxy Express?

The one that isn't 'Night on the-'.

You know, I read that back when I wasn't a witch. I always thought it was strange that humans who obtained eternal life would become so cruel... at the time, I honestly couldn't relate.

That writer could understand our cruelty really well, in the truest sense.

Where will you go next? I'll bet we say farewell with our backs turned, right?

That's because I don't want to let you get bored.

Thanks, Bern. But you can be sure that I'll count to a hundred and then start searching for you again.

You really don't let a person get bored. That's why I like you, love you. Let's meet again somewhere, although we may not be reunited for another hundred or thousand years... if ever.

That's all right. The sea of Fragments is tiny to a pair who love each other.

The Third Man?

No. Children of Paradise.




Erika. New ruler of this Fragment. Weave the truth, and create a tale that leads up to this world's demise. The next was the 6th game, right?

Yes, it's the 6th game.

Decide the title for Episode 6 yourself. After all, you're already the spinner of this tale, as well as the Master.

Thank you very much. Actually, I've already decided on one.

Oh, already? Let me hear it. What kind of title is it?

Yes. Episode 6... Heheheheh, I'd really like to tease you a bit, but I'll tell you.

Come on, stop being a smartass and tell us. A newbie witch like you shouldn't be teasing your seniors!
