BGM: Rebirth

This is a nice and simple trick - Kanon switched places with Battler.

The hard part is how to get Kanon out of the guest house.

The question isn't how Kanon escaped - it's how he wasn't in the room when it was sealed!

At that time, Erika confirmed that Hideyoshi, George, Kumasawa, Shannon and Nanjo were in the next room over, and everyone else was in the cousins' room.

What if 'everyone' means 'everyone whose name was not on the first list'.

So, what if multiple people have the same name?

Five names, but six humans!

That's her bullet. Time to fire--

Dlanor prevented that already. Blue truth arguing about the window of the next room over is forbidden.

Sh-Shut up! It's just a little mistake!

The window of the next room over. You sealed it with some absurd trick, right? Gaap told me.

A-And so what?!

Dlanor. Remove that foolish seal. That seal is now your shackle.

Lady Erika.

P... Please remove it. That fool... I'll make her regret this...!

Come. I could do with a little fun.

Begin!

First is how Kanon escaped from the cousins' room. I'll use that as my bullet!

Hoh, so you'll start from there. Let's have it. Hold nothing back!

Here I go!

BGM: Pathway

It is true that the next room over was sealed, but at the time of the logic error, only the doors were checked to see whether the seals were preserved. Therefore, there is a chance that the window seals are broken. Kanon was in the next room over, and he escaped through that window! That is all!

As both fire, Erika's gun falls to the floor.

Beato aimed not at Erika's heart, but at her pistol.

Ugh... gk....

Come to think of it, you only know the half-sleeping me from the last game, don't you? What do you think, Erikaaa? How do you like the game of the Golden Wiiiiiiitch?!

That's insane... A-Are you saying... that Kanon slipped out of the room by magic?! M-More importantly, why did you just knock my gun away?!

The human side must crush all of the witch's riddles, whereas the witch side need only crush the human's theories once. Don't you find that unfair? So, I decided to have it be even.

Even...?

Erika, pick up your gun. We'll have this room be your coffin!

I say the same to you! I'll make you regret... ever giving me this chance...!

Witness. Let Erika use X.

...X? A basis which does not need to be explained? So, what are you going to let her do?

O... Of course! You've already used the red truth to guarantee that Kanon saved Battler! It's only natural that I be given this privilege!

BGM: Liberated Liberater

With this attack, both the chain and Battler's absence are satisfied.

Isn't that simple? Why does Beato still look so confident? Is there a different trick?

This is the answer! There is no other possible solution!

Repeat it. 'At the time Battler was rescued, only Kanon entered the guest room.'

I acknowledge it. At the time Battler was rescued, only Kanon entered the guest room. I believe that was the whole point...

Repeat it. 'From the time I entered the room to the time of the logic error, Battler, Kanon and I were the only ones who entered or exited the room.'

I acknowledge it. From the time you entered the room to the time of the logic error, Battler, Kanon and Erika were the only ones who entered or exited the room.

Repeat it. 'This refers to three people.'

I acknowledge it. It refers to three people: You, Battler, and Kanon.

Confirming definition. Can I accept 'three people' to mean the number of bodies? You're saying that three bodies went in or out of the room, right?

Of course. Three people - in other words, three bodies - went in or out. Only you and Kanon entered, and only Battler left. It has already been said in red that all people can only use their own names. Therefore, the names Erika, Battler and Kanon can only be used by those people.

Repeat it. 'I am not the rescuer.'

Of course! You are the detective, are you not? Don't worry, I will respect that!

Confirming definition. How do you define 'rescuer'?

'The rescuer' means someone who reset the chain lock after Battler undid it. It does not matter whether they intended to save Battler or not.

Is this enough? Is that every loophole covered?

Repeat it. 'The definition of going in or out refers to when someone crosses the boundary between the guest room and the area outside it.'

I acknowledge it.

Repeat it. 'The guest room includes all of the bedroom, the bathroom, and the closet.'

I acknowledge it. I've no intention of wriggling out of this by saying the closet isn't part of the guest room.

Confirming definition. The inside of the guest room is divided into three sections: The bedroom, the bathroom, and the closet.

I also recognize it as such. Furthermore, you have already confirmed with the red truth that two of those sections, the bedroom and the bathroom, had no one hiding in them.

Repeat it. 'There is someone in the closet'.

I refuse.

Why's that?! Because Kanon is hiding there?!

Kanon can use magic. It's true that he hid himself in the closet for a time, but he then immediately vanished with his magic! So, there is no one in the closet! I cannot respond!

I ask you to repeat it once more!

Fool! The witch side has no obligation to explain how they did things with magic!

Kanon must be in the closet. There's no possible other explanation. Anything else would be unilaterlaly impossible.

In other words, the answer can only be this:

Wait! It's a trap!

Beatrice is trying to make her think that Kanon is in the closet!

There's a second place Kanon can be! He could have entered the bedroom AFTER it was confirmed to be empty in red!

BGM: Engage of Marionette

But wait. That's not all of it.

If Erika says that he's in the closet, Beatrice will put Kanon in the bedroom. If Erika says that he's in the bedroom, Beatrice will put Kanon in the closet!

It's a discovered double checkmate. The beauty of Beatrice's game board defies all expectations.

Erika catches the faintest glimpse of the beauty of understanding all truths at once, rather than just affixing everything to one single truth.

It's my victory. I've seen through your double check.

Then come.

Erika's blue truth smashes the bedroom. Beatrice quietly responds.

Next is the real one. This is the answer from a human capable of understanding multiple truths. It looks like the illusion's tale will end with the second twilight. So, why don't I carry out the remaining twilights... and open the door to the Golden Land. If you are to disappear, then it should be surrounded by your golden roses!

Erika takes aim once more, but not at Beatrice. Her gun is pointed at the closet.

Erika's final blue bullet obliterates the closet, along with anyone inside, with five simultaneous strikes.

On the fourth twilight, gouge the head and kill.
On the fifth twilight, gouge the chest and kill.
On the sixth twilight, on the seventh twilight, on the eighth twilight...

The guest room vanishes, leaving the two duelists in the Golden Land, surrounded by Beatrice's golden roses.

However, the closet remains, standing closed behind Beatrice.

What Erika sees is not a human, but a raincoat.

Wh... What the...

Ah... Ah...

Kanon let Battler escape, and hid in the closet... and then, he used magic to disappear. This is the wtich's truth. That is all.

The audience goes wild. The rings on Erika and Battler's fingers shatter.

Heh... that's a nasty trick... you sure something like this counts? With a trick like this one, those humans will start complaining again about how this isn't mystery...

No, it's a splendid trick! People without love cannot see that! Battler... waaaaaaaahhhhh!

Lady Erika! Someone, help her, QUICKLY!

Lady Bernkastel, give your approval for her RESURRECTION! Lady Bernkastel?! Where did she go?!
