fandom.07th-expansion | # Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru
is the second half of the series, and contains Episodes 5 to 8 of the story. Unlike the second half of "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni", "Umineko Chiru" does not simply present direct solutions to the first four arcs, but instead gradually delves into the core of the story, revealing clues to its mysteries in the process. It is also referred to as When They Cry 4 in the overall franchise.
The original releases of "Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru" took place from August 15, 2009 to December 31, 2010, and were translated by The Witch Hunt. "Umineko Chiru" was later officially released worldwide in English as "Umineko When They Cry Answer Arcs" by MangaGamer in collaboration with Witch Hunt on November 17, 2017. The English edition contains all four question arcs and is playable on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. It may be purchased on MangaGamer, Steam, or GOG.
Episodes.
Episode 5: "End of the Golden Witch"
As a result of Beatrice's defeat in the fourth game, this episode introduces a new game master in the form of the witch Lambdadelta. Another witch, Bernkastel, takes primary control of the human side in the game. She introduces a new visitor to the island in the form of the detective Erika Furudo, who approaches the murders from a "mystery" perspective, unlike Battler who had taken an "anti-fantasy" stance. The chapter also has a focus on Natsuhi, who receives threatening phone calls from a "Man from 19 Years Ago".
Episode 6: "Dawn of the Golden Witch"
Having become the new game master, Battler is tasked in this chapter with creating his own gameboard as a way of demonstrating his understanding of Beatrice's game. Like in the second game, Battler's game has a focus on the relationships between George and Shannon, and between Jessica and Kanon. It also introduces a reborn Beatrice who struggles to discover the person she once was and understand her relationship to Battler.
Episode 7: "Requiem of the Golden Witch"
This episode presents an alternate reality where Battler does not come to Rokkenjima, the Golden Witch does not exist, and a mysterious child named Lion is now the designated successor to the Ushiromiya family. The protagonist is Willard H. Wright, who is tasked by Bernkastel to uncover the truth behind Beatrice. The chapter delves into the past experiences of several characters, including Kinzo and the person who would become Beatrice.
Episode 8: "Twilight of the Golden Witch"
The final chapter focuses on Ange, who in her quest to discover the truth behind the events of the Rokkenjima incident is given the chance to go to Rokkenjima as a six-year old by Battler. Unlike in the previous episodes, this episode has features which require direct interaction from the player, allowing the player to unlock extra scenes as well as make the choice between two endings.

Episodes.
Episode 1: "Legend of the Golden Witch"
The first episode of "Umineko" introduces the reader to the Ushiromiya family and the setting of Rokkenjima. The reader is familiarized with the island's 18 residents (consisting of the Ushiromiya family and servants) as well as the legend of the Golden Witch, Beatrice. As the story progresses, people on the island are murdered, and the family is taunted by letters that claim to be from the witch Beatrice, who takes responsibility for the murders and intends to take back everything of the Ushiromiya family.
Episode 2: "Turn of the Golden Witch"
Following the events of the first episode, this episode introduces the meta-world, a higher plane where Battler is locked into a battle of twisted logic with the witch Beatrice as the murders on the island repeat in a different way. Beatrice arrives on the island as its 19th resident, and fantastical elements are introduced into the story. The chapter also focuses on George and Jessica's relationships with the Ushiromiya family servants, Shannon and Kanon.
Episode 3: "Banquet of the Golden Witch"
The third episode continues the repeating murders, with a special focus on Eva, Kinzo's first daughter. Unlike the first two chapters, the adults of the Ushiromiya family make a serious attempt to solve the riddle of the epitaph. Eva succeeds in this task and finds the gold, but a witch persona of Eva continues to carry out the murders in Beatrice's name.
Episode 4: "Alliance of the Golden Witch"
This chapter introduces Battler's sister Ange as a secondary protagonist. Ange had been absent from the 1986 family conference and was taken in by the only survivor of the incident, Eva. It has a shifting focus of events, showing readers Ange's life in the aftermath of the incident and exploring her relationship with Maria and magic through Maria's diary. The Ange of 1998 sets out on a journey to uncover the truth of Rokkenjima, while the events on Beatrice's gameboard repeat for the fourth time.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Underground Passage
The Underground Passage is a long tunnel underneath Rokkenjima.
Description.
The underground passage contains some dungeon cells filled with old cages and torture devices. One end leads to the basement of the hidden mansion Kuwadorian. The other end comes above ground through a grate behind the main mansion.
History.
The dungeons are first shown in "Alliance of the Golden Witch". Gaap uses her powers to transport the survivors of the first twilight all the way from the mansion's dining room to an underground cell. Kinzo later reveals to the group that these are connected to Kuwadorian, and Nanjo has walked through this passage before.
"Requiem of the Golden Witch" reveals that the passage and its dungeons are actually remnants of an old Japanese military base that existed on Rokkenjima during World War II. The two-kilometer long passage leads to a submarine dock hidden on the other side of the island. After Kinzo purchased the abandoned island, he built a room within the base to house his stockpile of gold. The passage is also where 900 tons of explosives are stored, yet more leftovers from the military base. They have enough power to completely destroy the mansion and are rigged to a clock inside the gold room that will go off at 24:00 if it is activated.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Une
is a character introduced in "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Hou". She makes her first appearance in "Kamikashimashi" as she rescues the club members from a deranged mob in Okinomiya, during the midst of an unprecedent outbreak of the Hinamizawa Syndrome.
She appears to be a normal human child at first but is later revealed to be a godly entity like Hanyuu, and the leader of her "clan" who had just arrived on Earth. Miyo Takano was looking for her under Tamurahime no Mikoto's command in order to stop Une's plans of .
Profile.
<tabber>
"An unfortunate girl who happened to be in Hinamizawa while a tragedy was brewing. Was she unhappy because she was in Hinamizawa that day? Or maybe it's because she met them..."
"An unfortunate little girl who happened to be in Hinamizawa as it became wrapped in tragedy."
"However, she hides a great secret..."
</tabber>
Appearance.
Une appears as a physically young girl around Satoko and Rika's age with turquoise hair and twin-tails. She has golden-yellow eyes. When posing as a human she wears a plain navy blue sleeveless dress along with a white collar, a red brooch and navy blue Mary-jane shoes with white socks.
Une's costume as a god is an unusual spin on the traditional . She sports a fancy white, gold and frill embroidered '—having puffed shoulders and ' sleeves with scalloped edges that resemble the appearance of a bird's wings when raised. On top of the "kosode", she wears a sleeveless, bodice-like black and purple bodysuit that flares into a ruffled frilly skirt (resembling the Angel Mort uniform). There is also a purple around her waist, with a golden ' complete with a blue '-like jewel in the center of the bow-shaped knot. On her head is a golden headpiece resembling her "obijime". She also wears matching black thigh highs and "" sandals.
For her punishment she is forced to wear a white cattail with a turquoise ribbon and a revealing striped white and turquoise bikini set underneath a PE T-shirt. In the Entergram version, she is simply seen wearing a blue PE uniform with .
Personality.
Une first appears to be a shy and meek young girl, albeit friendly. Her age and maturity are assumed to be around those of Satoko's. Une immediately comes to the club members' rescue by giving them a ladder to climb up to her apartment and hide from their persecutors and this earns her their trust and devotion.
At first, Une speaks in third person:
She also tends to speak in double negatives—
Une's innocence is later revealed to be a façade and her demeanor takes a heel turn after her seeds are sown throughout the earth. As soon as her plan succeeds, her arrogant and wicked personality surfaces. Une's change in attitude also reflects in her speech as she drops her previous verbal tics and begins to talk in a more haughty and shrill tone. As a god, she speaks in polite Japanese, mixed in with occassional archaic components that both Tamura and Hanyuu also use. She also begins to display a habit of prefixing to her adjectives when describing situations (e.g., "Super Pleasant!").
Une seems to have no remorse at the prospect of "devouring" the human race as a whole and is rather ecstatic about it—unlike Hanyuu, who deeply regrets the damage the Hinamizawa Syndrome causes to its hosts. Une's cruelty is subject to ambiguity as she reveals she had no intention of devouring the entire human population and just wanted to "distribute her seeds a little". Her evil deed was revenge against Tamura who had rebuffed her existence. In spite of her twisted nature, Une does show a lot of childlike embarrassment when she is forced to wear a revealing costume as a punishment game.
Background.
Une's people have a long history of destroying planets, with Une being the last of her kind. She came to Earth with the intent of spreading her virus throughout humanity and receiving nourishment.
Role in the Story.
Kamikashimashi.
After the events of "Outbreak", the club members are chased by a frenzied homicidal mob in Okinomiya. Une lets down a ladder from her window and rescues them, later allowing them to be sheltered at her house and recover from their ordeal. The club members feel sorry for Une when they realize she is currently home alone and that her family "hadn't returned". Une is soon ushered by the club members as they fend off deranged Okinomiya residents and finally take refuge at the Sonozaki Family Office as planned, where the Sonozakis have prepared a stronghold for survivors and evacuees.
When the group reunites with Hanyuu and Rika again at the stronghold, Hanyuu exposes Une as a godly entity similar to her—the leader of an alien strain of parasitic microorganisms that had recently arrived on earth. Hanyuu communicates with her telepathically and discovers that their "roots" share the same "strength", i.e., that the parasitic strain of the Une Virus was as strong as η-173. Since Class-C Brain Parasites are shown to be , it meant that a host can only harbor either the η-173 or the Une Virus on a first come, first served basis if they were to compete. Rika quickly realizes that spreading the Une Virus across the globe first instead would curb the η-173 epidemic. She convinces Tomitake to escort Une to "Tokyo"'s HQ immediately and spread the Une virus across the suburbs.
Before they can enact this plan, Tamurahime no Mikoto instantly expresses her disagreement and Miyo Takano barges into the Sonozaki shelter demanding Une's custody. As Tamura's "miko", she is now armed with superhuman strength and relentlessly pursues Une despite all attempts to subdue her. Hanyuu uses her divine powers to momentarily weaken Takano and the club members trick her into capturing Satoko who is dressed in Une's clothes before overpowering her. Une is then safely dispatched to the National Institute of Infectious Diseases where her cerebrospinal fluid is collected and sent to research facilities across the world.
Rika later realizes that Une was originally the one Tamura wanted to stop, motivating her to spread η-173 before Une could infect anyone. It is revealed she did so as Une's brethren were actually a strain of highly contagious killer viruses that latched onto host after host and leaving them for dead. The Une Virus soon turns into a pandemic and after mere seven weeks after the Une virus outbreak, the human population decreases by a whopping 20 percent. Une cruelly proclaims that after the earth is depleted of humans, she plans on vacating to another inhabited planet and spread her seeds of destruction there.
Une feels she is unstoppable after the outbreak, since neither Hanyuu nor Tamura knew where her physical body was. Rika ridicules Une's carelessness and stabs herself with a kitchen knife in retaliation. As a result of Rika's death, the timeline is wound back to a point before the events of "Outbreak" and the club members apprehend Une in Okinomiya, along with the two other gods. Having been captured before she could attempt anything, Une is distraught and confesses that she only wanted to "distribute her flowerbed a little", but Tamura's rejection had spurred her to destroy everything.
Une, Tamura and Hanyuu incessantly bicker and try to push the blame onto each other. It soon becomes clear that the root of all conflict was the petty rivalry between the gods. All three of them are sentenced to play games with the club members until they learn to get along with each other. Une loses her game and dons an embarrassing costume along with her fellow gods for their punishment game, as they all lament the outcome and swear to get along better.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Mei.
In Part 3, Une is revealed to be the main antagonist of the story, having created the Sleeping Sickness and spreading it across Japan for as-of-yet unknown reasons. Tamura shows to Miyuki a vision of her and her friend Chisame dying from it and entrusts Miyuki with stopping Une.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Unnamed Post-EP5 Interview
The following interview was conducted with Ryukishi07 sometime after the release of "End of the Golden Witch". The name of the interview, if any, is currently unknown in the English-speaking community.
A partial transcript may be found below. It is translated by chronotrig, the lead translator of Witch Hunt.
Transcript.
First Half.
How was the reaction after the release of Episode 5?
Ryuukishi: Perhaps because this release included many hints and guidelines on how to think, more people sent us confident theories than the period following Episode 4's release. That includes what might be considered "the best possible answer at the current time". So we felt more of a response than from Episode 4.
It sounds like the rush before the deadline was especially hectic this time.
Ryuukishi: It was extremely hectic(laughs). We had some new staff members this time and some jobs needed to be passed on to others who weren't used to them, which led to an overall slowdown in progress. In the future, we should have more leeway as the new staff grows more accustomed to their jobs.
Were there any difficulties in writing the tale itself?
Ryuukishi: After writing four chapters, the world's layout has become very firm, so the actual writing went very smoothly. Instead, the hard part this time around was "arranging the hints". We want Umineko to be a product people can enjoy as they think, and we paid a lot of attention to the balance between making it fun to read and including the right number of hints. Our goal is to write a story which gives hints to people who don't know the truth and reaffirms the views of people who do understand. We could have written it so that the truth was plainly clear and everyone could understand it, but we believe that might have effected how interesting a read it would have become. The other difficult thing was positioning a message to the readers that "it is solvable at this point". In classic mysteries, the "sign" is always the time that the detective says "I know who the culprit is". However, I think we failed to add such a sign in Episode 4. You really should be able to solve it as a mystery with the information given up to and including Episode 4, but because we didn't give a "sign", people thought "there aren't enough hints yet", and few people seriously tried to solve the series. When we saw this, we thought "yes, a clear sign really is needed", and a "sign" appeared in Episode 5 as: "And then...I...knew."
Tell me about the new characters.
Ryuukishi: Both Erika and Dlanor are holding a thought game from a very different position than the one Battler has been coming from before now. Their existence is not only a way to make this tale more dramatic, but also a large hint.
It felt as though you had detectives in mystery novels very firmly in mind when you created Erika.
Ryuukishi: That's right. Her character shares many traits that were maliciously extracted from those held by great detectives. With sealing the doors and the like, she is unlike Battler in that she's a hard worker, or maybe you could say she puts a lot of effort into her plans... People vary on whether they like or dislike Erika. While Battler's enemies before now have specialized in confusing him, Erika comes at him from the exact opposite direction, and I think this leads to a different kind of battle than the ones we've seen so far. I hope this becomes a new light to shine on the riddle-filled world of Umineko. It seems that some of our users have wondered "Did he use her as a representative of users who write malicious theories?", but I leave such interpretations up to you. Umineko's focus on battles every time is part of the world's layout, so we must have a character who stands in clear opposition to Battler. So, if Erika had been a normal person, perhaps the battle and the tale wouldn't have become so exciting. Though I think Erika herself is just bad at choosing her words and not really such a bad person.
Second Half.
Do you plan on reviving her (Beatrice)?
Ryuukishi: In the plot for Episode 6, which we're considering now, we're thinking of a way that we can revive Beato. But if too many other things pop up that we want to write about, who knows?(laughs) However, it does seem that Battler doesn't enjoy Beato being in low spirits all the time and wants the brighter Beato to come back. The thing I don't want you to misunderstand is that Battler doesn't want to return to a world where he and Beato are basically on the same side. He only wants to end this tale in a way that will make Beato satisfied. Shortly after Episode 5's release, many people pointed to Battler's acceptance into the ranks of witches and wondered "Hasn't Battler lost sight of his goal?", but that's not the case. As Bern said in the beginning of Episode 5, Battler has no chance of being released unless he defeats Beato's riddles. At the end of Episode 4, we learn that "Beatrice hopes Battler will win and end this game", so Battler must win. Furthermore, at the end of Episode 5, Battler reaches the fundamental truth behind "who, for what purpose, and why". If he can lay that bare, he will win. So, if we liken it to chess, Battler actually hasn't yet made a move to achieve checkmate. The process that will lead to a checkmate has only been formulated in his mind. So, according to our plans at the present, Episode 6 will be a tale about proving whether Battler actually did reach all the way to the truth. He will actually make and carry out the moves he has thought of. In other words, Battler becoming the Game Master "proves that he has understood everything about the world of Umineko".

Family History.
The Ushiromiya family was very prosperous from the late 1860s to the early 1920s, where they owned several spinning mills and the young Kinzo Ushiromiya was part of a branch family that had nothing to do with the main family. After the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, the Ushiromiyas' spinning mills in Tokyo burned down, and the family mansion in Odawara crumbled. The Ushiromiyas lost most of their wealth and family in an instant, and when trying to find a successor, they decided on Kinzo and he was soon set up with an arranged marriage, going on to have several kids.
Kinzo then received a mountain of gold from the Golden Witch Beatrice, using it to invest into businesses and build his fortune. The Ushiromiya family became prosperous again with Kinzo becoming rich enough to buy the island of Rokkenjima. This gold, printed with the One-Winged Eagle, would be hidden on the island with the witch's epitaph leading the way to it.
One-Winged Eagle.
The One-Winged Eagle is a symbol that is worn by almost every member of the Ushiromiya family and by certain servants. People who are directly related to Kinzo, like the siblings and cousins, are permitted to wear it on their clothes or bodies.
Family Hierarchy.
The Ushiromiyas follow a ranking system, displayed by the position and number of chairs at the table in the dining hall. Kinzo sits at the top in the Incipient's Chair, with the chairs and ranks going in descending order from left to right while facing the Incipient's Chair. Direct relatives held higher ranks while spouses were at the very bottom.

Complete Family History.
Around some point after Rudolf was born, Kinzo was enlisted into the Japanese army to fight in World War II, wanting to die because he secretly disliked his family. Kinzo became stationed on a base on Rokkenjima, which was called Akujikishima back then. A group of Italian soldiers arrived at the base by a damaged submarine, carrying a pile of gold bars. Kinzo met the Italians' translator, Beatrice Castiglioni, and the two fell in love.
The gold caused disputes between the Italian and Japanese soldiers, ending with them killing each other. Kinzo and Beatrice became the only survivors, and they abandoned the island while taking a few gold bars with them. Kinzo returned to his main family and sent Beatrice to live in a private house elsewhere, paying her visits disguised as business trips. Kinzo and Beatrice would then have a child, Beatrice Ushiromiya (Beatrice II). Beatrice I would die shortly after.
At this point, Kinzo had already bought Akujikishima, renaming it to Rokkenjima. The island had been ignored by the Japanese military after WWII ended, and the Italian submarine containing all the gold bars was still intact. Kinzo had built a second mansion, Kuwadorian, hidden deep in the forests of Rokkenjima. Kinzo would make it a home for Beatrice II, keeping her hidden from the outside world. Beatrice II grew to adult age, having a childlike mentality because of her ignorance of the outside world. Kinzo and Beatrice II then had a child, who would become Sayo Yasuda.
Beatrice II would die shortly after Sayo's birth as well. In almost every fragment, the baby Sayo is taken by Kinzo and given to Natsuhi to raise as she was unable to get pregnant at that time. Natsuhi would then throw Sayo off a cliff, resulting in her genital mutilation. Sayo was discovered to have survived by Genji Ronoue and Terumasa Nanjo, who healed her injuries as best they could and sent her to live in the Fukuin House. Sayo later becomes a servant, only discovering her true heritage after solving the epitaph.
In a fragment where Sayo doesn't get thrown off a cliff, she is instead accepted by Natsuhi and is raised as Lion Ushiromiya.
Meanwhile, Rudolf was married to Asumu and he was cheating on her with Kyrie that she got pregnant and she was set to deliver their babies on the same date as Asumu wound up having a miscarriage while Kyrie gave birth to Battler. Rudolf didn't want news of him having an illegitimate child with a mistress to get out, so he bribed the doctors to change the birth results; it was then believed that Asumu had given birth to Battler while Kyrie had a miscarriage.
Origin of the One-Winged Eagle.
The One-Winged Eagle originated from a misprinted Salo Republic symbol on the pile of Italian gold bars. The old symbol was supposed to look like an eagle spreading its wings, but the gold bars were printed at an angle, and the resulting crest looked like an eagle with one wing.
When Kinzo claimed these gold bars for himself, he adapted a similar version of the symbol for his family crest. Some of the gold bars were reprinted with this new version of the One-Winged Eagle for public display; this was done to reduce the chance that people would associate the gold with the Salo Republic.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Ushiromiya Family Mansion
The Ushiromiya Family Mansion is the primary residence of the Ushiromiya main family, which includes Kinzo, Krauss, Natsuhi, and Jessica. It is located on the private island of Rokkenjima and serves as the site for the annual family conference.
Kinzo commissioned the construction of the mansion along with his acquisition of the island. It was completed in 1952, and the Ushiromiya family moved in soon after.
Description.
The mansion is built in a western style, the result of Kinzo's personal preferences. The exterior of the mansion is identifiable by the light brown bricks that make up its walls, in contrast to the black bricks of the guesthouse. A prominent balcony overlooks the entrance of the building. The mansion has three stories and a basement. All rooms may be unlocked with a master key, and also have their own individual room keys.
The exterior of the mansion is based on the Old Marquis Maeda House in Tokyo. The interior of the mansion is made up of a combination of images from the Marquis Maeda House, the Diplomat's House (Yokohama), Berrick Hall (Yokohama), and the British House (Yokohama).
Layout.
First Floor.
Entrance Hall
A grand hall that serves as the entrance to the mansion. In April 1984, a portrait of Beatrice was put up on display here, and a plate containing a strange epitaph was placed alongside it. It contains a set of stairs leading to a second floor balcony that overlooks the hall and also connects to the rest of the second floor.
Parlor
A large room that serves as the site for various activities. The entrance to the room is a set of double doors, and there are several windows facing the rose garden.
Dining Hall
The main location of the Ushiromiya family's meals. It contains a long dining table where family members and guests are seated according to their rank.
The family head Kinzo is seated at the Incipient's Chair at the head of the table, and the family members fill the seats in pairs across from each other, left-side first, in descending order of rank. The ranking system has Kinzo's children first, followed by his grandchildren, and then his children's spouses. The order within each group follows the birth order of Kinzo's children.
Kitchen
The place where meals and drinks are prepared It has a back entrance that leads out of the mansion.
Servant Room
A room serving as the information and resting area for the servants. The individual room keys to the mansion's rooms can be found in a box here. Unlike other rooms, there are multiple servant room keys. The room also contains a bed and first aid supplies.
Courtyard
A small area enclosed by the mansion. It may be accessed by two doors on the mansion's first floor, both of which do not have locks. Alternatively, it may be accessed via the boiler room.
Second Floor.
Jessica's Room
Jessica's personal bedroom. Due to Jessica's preference for spending time with her cousins, she prefers to sleep with them in the cousin room of the guesthouse during the family conference.
Natsuhi's Room
Natsuhi's personal bedroom. It contains a large dresser where Natsuhi's personal items, including a spirit mirror, are kept. She does not share her room with her husband. The door to this room may be secured with a chain lock.
Krauss's Study
A room belonging to Krauss. It is not known if he also uses it as his sleeping quarters. The door to this room may be secured with a chain lock.
Guest Rooms
These rooms were used by non-residential family members and other guests prior to the completion of the guesthouse. Each room contains two beds, a closet, and a bathroom. The doors to these rooms also each contain a chain lock for additional security.
VIP Room
An unused guest room. Kinzo had given strict orders to the servants that it be kept clean at all times, and had forbidden its use by all guests. The servants call the room the "witch's VIP room", and believe that it had been set aside by him solely for the return of the witch of the portrait. It is also rumored that the witch Beatrice returns to the VIP room at 2:00 A.M. every morning.
Third Floor.
Waiting Room
A room next to Kinzo's study.
Kinzo's Study
An extremely large room overlooking the mansion courtyard. It is divided into four sections: a study, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen. The study is the only room on Rokkenjima with an auto-lock. Unlike other rooms, it cannot be opened using a master key. The only way to open its door is by using two specific keys, normally carried by Kinzo and Genji, or by activating a switch from the study table.
Due to Kinzo's obsession with the occult, the bookshelves of the study are filled with a immense amount of occult research materials. It also contains a smaller copy of portrait of Beatrice along with the epitaph. The doorknob of the study is engraved with the fifth magic circle of Mars, a scorpion-shaped occult symbol that acts as a strong magic repellent.
The study is filled with a strong stench that permeates even outside of the room.
Basement.
Boiler Room
A room responsible for providing heating to the mansion. It is currently in a rather poor condition and is usually locked. It may be entered from a door on the first floor of the mansion or by the courtyard entrance.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Utsutsukowashi-hen Chapter 1
is the first chapter of "Utsutsukowashi-hen".
Summary.
At St. Lucia Academy, the students murmur that a math teacher was found dead in the swimming pool last night, and it was probably a murder. Rumors say he was having many inappropriate relationships with students, so his death might have been revenge by one of them. They heard one girl in their class was called to the director’s office and was the first person to find the body: Mizuho Kousaka. Mizuho was just standing by the corpse and staring at it. She’s always alone and never replies when others speak to her.
After explaining things to the director, Mizuho goes back to her classroom desk and is interrupted by another student Yukari. Yukari tells Mizuho that she has a French composition to write and needs to stop bringing down the class average. She demands that Mizuho show Yukari her notebook but she stays silent. Yukari angrily snatches it out of her hand and Mizuho pleads her to give it back, reaching out for it and falling out of her chair. Yukari asks if this notebook is related to her studies at all and threatens to bring it to a teacher when Shion Sonozaki arrives. Shion plucks the notebook out of Yukari’s hands and says she’s not being a very good class representative, bullying girls like that. Shion happily hands the notebook back to Mizuho and tells her to keep it hidden next time, winking. Shion tells Yukari she spilled coffee on her own French composition and Mizuho runs off. Shion watches her go and comments that she’s an “outlaw student.” Shion is suddenly called on the intercom to go to the student guidance room.
Shion is seated in an office with a teacher, Sister Maria, who calls her troublesome. Maria laments the recent pool murder as another act of God and Shion says she’s not the culprit, drawing surprise from the nun. Shion says she would’ve done a better job dealing with the body if she did do it, and Maria tells her to stay obedient, as that’s the reason she’s in this school. She says St. Lucia is meant to teach girls from elementary all the way to college how to be proper ladies and laments that many girls are sent there for other reasons, feeling a dark shadow looming over the place. Shion gets up to leave and Maria asks how Mizuho was doing. Shion says she looked fine and Maria says the teacher was killed brutally, and it was the second time Mizuho’s been in a situation like that.
Shion walks the halls and ponders what Maria meant by that when she sees Yukari and asks about Mizuho’s past. Yukari says she isn’t fond of gossiping about others, but after hearing that Maria ordered Shion to do it, Yukari explains that when Mizuho was very young, she was almost killed by her grandmother. Shion relates a bit to that and asks what made it “the second time”: Mizuho was protected by her father and he was killed before her eyes; apparently her grandmother was against her parents’ marriage. Yukari heard that Mizuho’s mother sent her to St. Lucia to protect her. In the end it was probably different, but this is all just gossip.
Shion hears that the murder incident will be brushed off as an accident since St. Lucia is like that, but she has more important business. Shion talks to Mizuho at the chapel and asks to work on her French composition with her. Mizuho is nervous but Shion tells her not to fear, as they sit next to each other after all. If they don’t do their homework then they’ll have to take part in weekend duties; Shion is tired of working during holidays, so they must do their homework. Mizuho says she doesn’t dislike duty and likes being useful to people, but Shion pinches Mizuho’s face and tries to make her understand, letting go when she starts crying. Shion watches Mizuho weep for a bit and then pats her head, saying she’s the same as her.
Shion explains that as a child, she too was going to be killed by her grandmother, or “the hag“ as she calls her. The Sonozaki family long believed if they gave birth to twins, one would be a devil child, and it was customary to kill one of them. Shion was that twin, but by some miracle she never died but is now confined to St. Lucia. Shion can relate to Mizuho’s position and says that she gets very angry when she sees her face like this. Shion tells Mizuho to act more firmly and have faith in herself. Seeing Mizuho cry some more, Shion pulls an object out of her bag and gives it to her. This is a special charm that will make Mizuho feel better if she holds it. If Mizuho is in trouble and makes a wish, then Shion will swoop in to save her. Mizuho is unconvinced, saying the charm is just a piece of an eraser and Shion exclaims that it’s special and comparable to the likes of Excalibur. Shion promises that before the day ends she’ll finish Mizuho’s French composition. Mizuho laughs, finding her new friend to be very persistent.
Outside the chapel are two twin students seemingly listening in to Shion and Mizuho. They grab hands and walk off.

is the second chapter of "Utsutsukowashi-hen".
Summary.
Class ends. Mizuho looks at her eraser charm and then at Shion, who’s snoring at her desk. Mizuho wakes her up and asks if she can play karuta with her, and Shion becomes excited that Mizuho’s worked up the strength to ask that. Some classmates take notice of the sudden commotion. Shion asks why they’re playing karuta since there’s two of them, and Mizuho says she couldn’t think of anything else. Shion says it’s an improvement, and that soon Mizuho will be able to talk more about herself.
The two girls walk outside. Shion says she’s tried to talk to Mizuho in the past, but she was a little stubborn. However, Mizuho never worried much about what others thought of her. Mizuho accepts that as a compliment, calling it’s the eraser’s power. Shion says Mizuho is the first friend she’s made in this school, enthusing about being able to do all sorts of fun things with her.
The girls run into Yukari, who hands Mizuho last week’s French homework and tells her to do it over; the nuns can’t be allowed to see such a bad thing. Shion asks what gives her the right to order that, and Yukari says that as the class rep, she must preserve the equilibrium of the class. Mizuho’s grades are bringing down the class average, and everyone’s gotten tired of doing duties every week because of it. Yukari accuses Mizuho of either doing her work too fast or not putting enough effort into it and asks what she’ll do. Shion tells Mizuho to refuse, as she knows how hard she’s been working and wants Mizuho to properly defend herself. Mizuho instead bows her head and apologizes. Yukari says Shion’s work is bad as well but decides to overlook it and asks if Shion making a charm for Mizuho was an order from Sister Maria. Shion insists that’s not the case, and Yukari says Shion asked her about it earlier. Mizuho bows to Shion and also apologizes to her, saying she didn’t know about her punishment and that she’ll do her best not to be a nuisance to anybody. Mizuho walks off alone, and Yukari soon leaves too. As Shion ponders by herself, the twins appear and say the situation is cruel, like telling a flightless bird about the beauty of the sky. Shion asks what they want.
Mizuho goes to the chapel and thinks of a time when some students were asking her why she came to St. Lucia, because of something with her family. Mizuho says she won’t cry and that this is a punishment while clenching her hands. A student comes up from behind Mizuho and hugs her, saying she needs to pray. Mizuho is caught by surprise and the girl says she needs to stay quiet otherwise she won’t hear the song. Suddenly, a girl falls off the roof of the school and hits the ground, creating a puddle of blood. Mizuho is asked if she heard her song and calls out her name. Mizuho asks how she knows that, and the girl says everybody in St. Lucia knows Mizuho as the "survivor of the tragedy". She says the truth is different and introduces herself as Saki Ootori, and that she’s the same as Mizuho.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Utsutsukowashi-hen Chapter 3
is the third chapter of "Utsutsukowashi-hen". It is also the final chapter of "Utsutsukowashi" due to its cancellation.
Summary.
Shion relaxes in the bathhouse and wonders what was up with Mizuho. Although it was a misunderstanding, Shion certainly lied to get info about Mizuho. Shion gets out of the bath and notices a light from a police siren, wondering what’s happened this time.
Sister Maria talks to some officers, insistent that the recent death of a girl from falling off the roof was not a suicide. The detective Kuraudo Ooishi asks if it might be murder then. Maria says this must be another trial from God like the last incident. Ooishi can hardly believe that the math teacher’s death from last month could be called an accident. He heard that the day of the incident, the pool was drained for cleaning, yet the teacher was found dead by drowning inside of it. Just a little bit of water was leaking out into the pool, and the teacher was face down and tied up; no matter how you look at it, it must be a torturous murder. Ooishi’s companion is surprised by the description and asks Maria why she never informed the police. Maria says this is St. Lucia Academy, so the teacher’s death was a judgment from God. She says this place has rules, and the detectives should follow them as well.
Maria tells them to come along to talk to a student near the scene of the crime. Mizuho hears them and remembers how suspicious Saki looked back then. She runs to the group and says she saw a suspicious person near where a person died. Maria thinks she’s talking about the pool incident but Mizuho says she's talking about today. Ooishi takes notice, wondering if Mizuho might be a serial killer since she was close to two crime scenes. Maria chastises him for saying such a terrible thing, and defends Mizuho by saying she's just a girl and knows enough about the horrors of murder. She explains that Mizuho was in a situation where she was related both to an assailant and to a victim. The detectives ask what that incident was, and Mizuho excuses herself while saying she just saw everything wrong. Ooishi asks again what incident Mizuho was involved in, and Maria says he won’t hear anything from her.
The girls gossip over the student’s recent death, with Yukari also looking worried. Shion says this is a great time to discuss their inescapable fate, and Yukari asks if she can really enjoy listening to these horrible stories. Yukari is disgusted by Shion’s casual approach to death and leaves. Shion quickly asks if she’s seen Mizuho but Yukari doesn't know. She asks why Shion cares about her so much, and Shion says Mizuho is her comrade; she can’t trust friends or colleagues, so she trusts someone who has the same scars as her. Even some demons have scars.
Yukari speaks to another nun and gets study handouts from her. She says Mizuho still hasn’t turned in her French composition and that it should be familiar to her since Mizuho’s father works for a French trading company. Yukari reminds her that Mizuho’s father is dead, involved in an incident long ago. The nun remembers and says that story is familiar all across St. Lucia, even to the teachers. She says Mizuho carries a notebook around with her, and that the story about her being killed by her grandmother was something she made up.
Meanwhile, Shion meets with Mizuho and is shocked to hear she met with the criminal behind the falling incident yesterday. Mizuho thinks Saki was also behind the pool incident. Shion asks her to think about why she might’ve come to her. Mizuho is surprised, as she thought Shion would never believe her. She wondered if the person she saw even did kill anyone. Mizuho exclaims that it’s abnormal for people to kill others. Shion laughs at her joke and then asks if the person she saw was a student or a teacher. Mizuho says it’s not a joke, and Shion reminds her that the intent to kill relatives is there as soon as they are born. Shion ominously says people kill people and Mizuho asks if they’re really friends. Shion expresses that they’re comrades, and that she’ll definitely protect Mizuho. Shion holds her hand out, and Mizuho thanks her.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Valentina
, also known as Tina, is a member of the Healthy Military Balance Oversight Committee from LATO.
Profile.
"From LATO Brazil"
"A member of the Healthy Military Balance Oversight Committee of the International Peace Mediation Association Military"
"Her P3 levels and Aerial Augmented Infantry aptitude are high, and it's estimated that she's able to wield considerable power using her personally customized Gauntlet, which is a signature of LATO. However, her true ability is unknown."
"Nonetheless, according to the profile of her made public by the authorities, she has dominated in South America's endurance combat flying division."
"Anyone can display explosive power for an instant, but the endurance division requires not only physical and mental strength, but also an understanding of Energy-Maneuverability Theory. This suggests that she's not only a genius, but has also undergone elite education and training."
Appearance.
Valentina has blonde hair, blue eyes and wears a white uniform and skirt. She also wears black thigh-high socks and white boots. Her Gauntlet resembles a trumpet.
Personality.
Valentina is very level-headed and stoic, even when seemingly bizarre events are happening. She seems to look down on Mari for her naivete.
Special Abilities.
Energy-Maneuverability Theory (SS)
"She specializes in movement that follows the laws of the planet, rather than violent flying that relies on Anti-G 8MS. She can beautifully fly long distances using a minimum amount of energy. For that reason, she always has an excess of energy, which she can use quite effectively for pinning down enemies, fire control, shielding, and so on."
High-Output Rejection Shield (SS)
"She uses a high-output Rejection Shield, which has been forbidden for use by anyone outside the IPMA due to international agreements "to help maintain a healthy military balance". The details of its performance are unknown, but according to rumor, its powerful enough that not even aces from other factions would be able to penetrate it. "
Observer of Military Balance (A)
"As an observer from the Healthy Military Balance Oversight Committee, she's able to throw her weight around a bit when dealing with militaries from other factions."
"Since none of the factions want LATO as their enemy, no matter which military she goes to, she can always drink tea for free in the coolest room."
Story.
Tina is first introduced in Chapter 2 alongside Maricarmen as a referee for the International Battle Standard Festival, later accepting the Public Bath Oath. Through the course of the story she and Mari act as mediators for when worldwide tensions rise and the Gauntlet Knights begin to get restless.
At one point she guides Toujirou to a meeting with a LATO executive. After the meeting and Toujirou and the executive hit it off, Tina relays an order to the Public Safety Office that they stop targeting Toujirou.
In Chapter 12, she and Mari stand guard at a meeting between a LATO executive and a man named Mr. Gray, learning of the Three Kings. Seshat invades the meeting and wipes the memories of everyone present.
In Chapter 16, she and Mari are made members of the Order of the Public Bath as witnesses to ensure they remain just in their goals of preserving world peace.
In Chapters 19 and 20, Mari and Tina work as bodyguards again during the signing of a global peace treaty at the IPMA HQ. They manage to protect Toujirou from an explosion that kills most of the provisional directors.
In Chapter 23, Mari and Tina escort Toujirou and go on a stroll through a beach ruined by the drone revolt. They ask him some questions and learn that a "World Reset Cult" is indeed masterminding more than just the drone revolt.
In Chapter 25 she and Mari attend Miyao's Christmas party.

Lucifer.
To the master of the fragment, the great lord:
It's the time of valentines again, and as the leader of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory, I hereby present to you this chocolate, and my vow for eternal obedience.
~Eldest of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory: Lucifer, with love and loyalty
P.S. If there's anything you'd like me to do, I will be willing to turn into a chair, a candlestick, a cat, a carpet, a furniture, and even a slave, so please order this pathetic furniture around as you wish.
Leviathan.
To the honored lord who must've gotten chocolate from others:
Although my chocolate is only one of the many that you have received, I still have poured my heart and effort into making it.
Even if it's just an insignificant one in a huge pile, it doesn't matter.
This message is from one pair of the countless eyes fixed to you, that lunatic one with the color of envious red
Forget-me-not, ohehehehehehe~
~Second eldest of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory: Leviathan, with love and jealousy
Satan.
To the master of the seven sisters, the almighty lord:
I have predicted that my foolish sisters must've included some rude words in the letters.
But, the fault is not theirs.
It's all due to that I have not taught them well. Please accept my apologies
And also, have your harsh remarks at me if you wish...
Any strong words, I can take, because I am prepared for them...
~Third eldest of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory: Satan, with love and regret
Belphegor.
To the owner of the chessboard, the almighty lord:
I have sent many chocolates to many males, but they are demon chocolates designed to make the men into lazy swines
But your majesty has always fixed yourself into working
So this is not a trap to sloth, but a real Valentine's chocolate from me
~Fourth eldest of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory: Belphegor, with love and respect
Beelzebub.
To the owner of the chessboard, the almighty lord:
I believe that your majesty deserves the best of the best chocolates
so I spent many time looking for one that suits you
and after countless tries, I have found the best one.
~Second youngest of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory: Beelzebub, with love and cocoa
P.S. The best of the best chocolates is really the best! It's so addicting that I couldn't stop myself after the first bite
...I have accidently ate them all, my apologies
so here you go, the second best-tasting chocolate.
Asmodeus.
To the owner of the chessboard, the almighty lord:
I have melted my love into this chocolate.
No, if possible, I want to become your majesty's chocolate.
If that can be done, I will be able to lie on your majesty's warm and soft tounge, enjoying the sensation of your mouth to its fullest.
~Youngest of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory: Asmodeus, with love, passion, and melancholy
Chiester 45.
To the master of number ********* fragment
From the 4096th infantry of the Chiester Guards
Thank you very much for all these times.
I wished to make handcrafted chocolates and send them to you, but due to the chocolate terrorist attack last year, the headquarters forbade us to make chocolates.
Therefore I have picked the best one which I thought would fit your majesty the most
It would be my greatest honor if you can taste it.
~Chiester 45
Chiester 410.
To the master of number ********* fragment
From the 4096th infantry of the Chiester Guards
The friendship chocolate of the roses, is the shotgun of the valentines.
The true love chocolate that guarantees a perfect strike, is the sniper rifle of the valentines.
And the chocolate I've sent to you...what of the valentines is it-ne?
~Chiester 410-ne
Chiester 00.
To the master of number ********* fragment
From the 4096th infantry of the Chiester Guards
Along with the blessings of valentines, I've included the love and respect for your majesty in this letter.
The chocolate that accompanies this letter has passed the department's inspection
please enjoy it without worries.
~Cheister 00
Dlanor A. Knox.
To celebrate valentines, and show my appreciation for all these times, I hereby present to you this chocolate.
But, when it's valentines, I like to receive more than to give out chocolates.
I like chocolate, because I'm a kid.
I don't like hot chocolate, because I spill it easily
...and I can't really wash it off.
If Gertrude sees this letter, she will force me to rewrite it
...how burdensome
so I secretly sent this out before Gertrude can take a look at it.
~Chief Inquisitor of Eiserne Jungfrau: Dlanor A. Knox
Gertrude.
Report: Today sure is cold
bid my wish that your majesty may hold on to good health
hereby present my blessings of St. Valentine's
and alongside a piece of chocolate full of love and respect.
~First-class priest: Gertrude
P.S. I've recently made a cat my pet, it's really cute.
Which one does your majesty like more? Cats or Dogs?
Cornelia.
Report: Days have still yet to warm themselves, and early spring has paid its first visit.
At this time of enjoying the warmth of a heater, I bid your majesty greetings and fair wishes for good health.
The delinquent who dared to disrupt this day of last year has been taken into custody.
I have with me the sense of a law enforcer, carrying on my daily duties.
~Third-class Priest: Cornelia
Beatrice.
HAPPY VALENTINES, ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND, WHAAAAAAAAAAAT AAAAAAA PIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY~!
Just to let you know, I have eaten all those chocolates you got in the mail. If you ever let me catch you, you are DEAD! I will have you know that you will never be able to receive chocolates from girls, EVER!
...But oh well, I really do pity that pathetic look you have, so here you go. I have saved you a piece of chocolate, so be grateful for my kindness~!
I-I was thinking... of making you some handcrafted chocolate, but mine just tasted too good.
It would've been a pity to send it to you, so I ate it all myself.
If it's just for you, I think chocolate bought elsewhere will be good enough.
~The Golden Witch, Beatrice
Ange Ushiromiya.
To onii-chan:
I think onii-chan has already received tons of chocolates.
Most of them are probably just trying to catch your attention, so don't get all excited about'em.
Unlike back in onii-chan's time, girls nowadays send chocolates to even just normal friends.
My chocolate is handcrafted, and for some reason I've shaped it into a heart,
but don't overthink ...there's nothing special behind it
~From your cute little sister: Ange

fandom.07th-expansion | # Valentine's Day Letters/Summary
Ronove hands Battler a stack of Valentine’s Day letters, keeping them in reserve since he’s been so busy as the Game Master. The first set of letters is from the Seven Sisters of Purgatory, who all send chocolate. Lucifer swears eternal allegiance on behalf of the Seven Sisters, with the postscript having Lucifer offering to do anything for Battler, whether she be used as a chair, candle stand, or even a slave. Leviathan hopes that Battler doesn’t forget her own eyes amongst the countless others that are watching him. Satan apologizes for her sisters sending shameless letters, blaming it on her inability to guide them and awaiting any criticism. Belphegor says she’s given lots of demonic chocolate to other men to drive them further into sloth, and promises that this chocolate is a sign of her heartfelt appreciation. Mammon wishes to gain Battler’s trust and become the woman reflected in his eyes. Beelzebub sent the best chocolate she could after taste-testing countless varieties; the postscript reveals she ate all the best-tasting chocolate so she sent the second best-tasting chocolate.. Asmodeus wishes she could’ve become Battler’s chocolate and be eaten by him.
After reading these, Battler says he feels like a bad person and Ronove hands him a stack of letters from the Chiester Sisters. Chiester 00 expresses her deep respect and affection for the Territory Lord, enclosing chocolate that has passed inspection by the medical team of the Imperial Guards. Chiester 410 says friendship chocolate is scattered everywhere like a shotgun while true love chocolate strikes like a sniper rifle; she asks Battler to guess which one she sent. Chiester 45 wanted to send handmade chocolate but was unable to because of a chocolate terrorism incident the previous year resulting in it’s ban. She hopes it’s satisfactory. Chiester 556 asks for the Chiester Sisters to remain in Battler’s thoughts, hoping she’s followed proper etiquette with her Valentine’s letter. The postscript has 556 remarking that her fortune at the shrine said she’d have terrible luck and will take care on her next mission.
Another group of letters comes from the girls at Eiserne Jungfrau. Dlanor hoped to be receiving chocolate instead of giving it, loving it very much because she’s a kid. She hates hot chocolate, however, because she keeps spilling it and it’s difficult to wash off. Gertrude had also been screening Dlanor’s letters and telling her to rewrite them, so the Head Inquisitor hoped to send it secretly. Cornelia tells Battler that in this cold season, huddling inside a kotatsu is a very nice experience. She also talks about the chocolate terrorism incident and how a good number of sympathizers are beginning to show themselves. Cornelia signs off and adds a note that Inquisitors are required to use court language even when writing letters, apologizing for any difficulties in reading. Gertrude hopes that Battler is taking good care of his health, adding a note that she adopted a cat and wants to know if the Territory Lord prefers cats or dogs more.
Zepar and Furfur have also sent letters. Zepar wants to know if Battler has been enjoying his Valentine’s Day, finding it a perfect day to hunt down growing boys with chocolate. The chocolate they’ve sent isn’t regular Valentine’s chocolate, with Zepar implying that a crime’s about to occur. Furfur tells Battler to savor the feelings stored inside each chocolate as he eats it, asking if he still thinks the chocolate is just simple friendship chocolate. If he says it’s something more, then Battler will understand the heart of the girl with the blushing face. Furfur asks Battler to be prepared, as their chocolates are confessions of true love and they’ll give him a body that can’t live without love anymore.
Ronove asks Battler if there’s anything wrong with the chocolate, but the Game Master replies that he doesn’t want to eat it, reading off another letter. Beatrice opens her letter with a big “<Happy Valentine>!!”, saying she’s eaten all of the chocolate that Battler received and that he won’t receive any other girl’s chocolate now that Battler is hers. She saved him a small bit of chocolate anyway; Beatrice was going to make handmade chocolate, but it was so delicious she ate it all and instead gave him some ingredients.
Ronove asks Battler to accept Beatrice’s feelings, and he replies that even chocolate is useful as an ingredient. Ronove then shows him one more letter sent by Ange. Ange knows Battler received a lot of chocolate and tells him not to get too excited about it; she’s sent him some heart-shaped chocolate and hopes he doesn’t any strange ideas about it.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Van Dine's Commandments
are a set of twenty rules that were originally written by Willard Huntington Wright, a mystery author who wrote under the pseudonym S.S. Van Dine. They are frequently compared to Knox's Decalogue.
The rules are first alluded to in the story by Beatrice in "Turn of the Golden Witch", and are later used by Willard H. Wright in "Requiem of the Golden Witch" and "Twilight of the Golden Witch". The SSVD is also said to use the rules during heresy trials, but the application of the rules in these trials is not shown in the story.
Rules Used in the Story.
While several concise versions of Van Dine's rules are used in the story by Willard, a full list of rules is never given to the reader. Ryukishi07 believed that strictly following Van Dine's rules would cause the motive to become obsolete and be removed from the story. As such, he decided to minimize their presence in the story and to write Willard as a character who had grown to dislike this form of ruthless application of the rules.
Van Dine's Original Rules.
Van Dine's 1st.
The reader must have equal opportunity with the detective for solving the mystery.
All clues must be plainly stated and described.
Van Dine's 2nd.
No willful tricks or deceptions may be placed on the reader other than those played legitimately by the criminal on the detective himself.
Van Dine's 3rd.
There must be no love interest. The business in hand is to bring a criminal to the bar of justice, not to bring a lovelorn couple to the hymeneal altar.
Van Dine's 4th.
The detective himself, or one of the official investigators, should never turn out to be the culprit. This is bald trickery, on a par with offering some one a
bright penny for a five-dollar gold piece. It's false pretenses.
Van Dine's 5th.
The culprit must be determined by logical deductions — not by accident or coincidence or unmotivated confession. To solve a criminal problem in this latter fashion is like sending the reader on a deliberate wild-goose chase, and then telling him, after he has failed, that you had the object of his search up your sleeve all the time. Such an author is no better than a practical joker.
Van Dine's 6th.
The detective novel must have a detective in it; and a detective is not a detective unless he detects. His function is to gather clues that will eventually lead to the person who did the dirty work in the first chapter; and if the detective does not reach his conclusions through an analysis of those clues, he has no more solved his problem than the schoolboy who gets his answer out of the back of the arithmetic.
Van Dine's 7th.
There simply must be a corpse in a detective novel, and the deader the corpse the better. No lesser crime than murder will suffice. Three hundred pages is far too much pother for a crime other than murder. After all, the reader's trouble and expenditure of energy must be rewarded.
Van Dine's 8th.
The problem of the crime must be solved by strictly naturalistic means. Such methods for learning the truth as slate-writing, ouija-boards, mind-reading, spiritualistic se'ances, crystal-gazing, and the like, are taboo. A reader has a chance when matching his wits with a rationalistic detective, but if he must compete with the world of spirits and go chasing about the fourth dimension of metaphysics, he is defeated "ab initio".
Van Dine's 9th.
There must be but one detective — that is, but one protagonist of deduction — one "deus ex machina". To bring the minds of three or four, or sometimes a gang of detectives to bear on a problem, is not only to disperse the interest and break the direct thread of logic, but to take an unfair advantage of the reader. If there is more than one detective the reader doesn't know who his codeductor is. It's like making the reader run a race with a relay team.
Van Dine's 10th.
The culprit must turn out to be a person who has played a more or less prominent part in the story — that is, a person with whom the reader is familiar and in whom he takes an interest.
Van Dine's 11th.
A servant must not be chosen by the author as the culprit. This is begging a noble question. It is a too easy solution. The culprit must be a decidedly worth-while person — one that wouldn't ordinarily come under suspicion.
Van Dine's 12th.
There must be but one culprit, no matter how many murders are committed. The culprit may, of course, have a minor helper or co-plotter; but the entire onus must rest on one pair of shoulders: the entire indignation of the reader must be permitted to concentrate on a single black nature.
Van Dine's 13th.
Secret societies, camorras, mafias, "et al.", have no place in a detective story. A fascinating and truly beautiful murder is irremediably spoiled by any such wholesale culpability. To be sure, the murderer in a detective novel should be given a sporting chance; but it is going too far to grant him a secret society to fall back on. No high-class, self-respecting murderer would want such odds.
Van Dine's 14th.
The method of murder, and the means of detecting it, must be rational and scientific. That is to say, pseudo-science and purely imaginative and speculative devices are not to be tolerated in the "roman policier". Once an author soars into the realm of fantasy, in the Jules Verne manner, he is outside the bounds of detective fiction, cavorting in the uncharted reaches of adventure.
Van Dine's 15th.
The truth of the problem must at all times be apparent — provided the reader is shrewd enough to see it. By this I mean that if the reader, after learning the explanation for the crime, should reread the book, he would see that the solution had, in a sense, been staring him in the face-that all the clues really pointed to the culprit — and that, if he had been as clever as the detective, he could have solved the mystery himself without going on to the final chapter. That the clever reader does often thus solve the problem goes without saying.
Van Dine's 16th.
A detective novel should contain no long descriptive passages, no literary dallying with side-issues, no subtly worked-out character analyses, no "atmospheric" preoccupations. such matters have no vital place in a record of crime and deduction. They hold up the action and introduce issues irrelevant to the main purpose, which is to state a problem, analyze it, and bring it to a successful conclusion. To be sure, there must be a sufficient descriptiveness and character delineation to give the novel verisimilitude.
Van Dine's 17th.
A professional criminal must never be shouldered with the guilt of a crime in a detective story. Crimes by housebreakers and bandits are the province of the police departments — not of authors and brilliant amateur detectives. A really fascinating crime is one committed by a pillar of a church, or a spinster noted for her charities.
Van Dine's 18th.
A crime in a detective story must never turn out to be an accident or a suicide. To end an odyssey of sleuthing with such an anti-climax is to hoodwink the trusting and kind-hearted reader.
Van Dine's 19th.
The motives for all crimes in detective stories should be personal. International plottings and war politics belong in a different category of fiction — in secret-service tales, for instance. But a murder story must be kept "gemütlich", so to speak. It must reflect the reader's everyday experiences, and give him a certain outlet for his own repressed desires and emotions.
Van Dine's 20th.
And (to give my Credo an even score of items) I herewith list a few of the devices which no self-respecting detective story writer will now avail himself of. They have been employed too often, and are familiar to all true lovers of literary crime. To use them is a confession of the author's ineptitude and lack of originality.

"Seeing the weakness of her country's army, which could not even put up a good fight with its inferior strength in terms of both numbers and quality, and suffered a disastrous defeat; Princess Ordeze, a colonel in the Verokian army, in a fit of desperation or madness, proposed an outrageous plan:"
"Deploy full-body armored infantry! We need armed infantry that can repel machine guns and even tank shells!!!"

| Vier |
fandom.07th-expansion | # Vier Dreissig
, from ABN Germany, is a mysterious scientist who researches Wisdom.
Profile.
"From ABN Germany"
"Affiliation Unknown"
"A genius physicist who invented several groundbreaking technologies such as the Dreissig Conversion. She is already dead due to an accident."
"While she was alive, she was apparently an eccentric who focused entirely on research and could not hold a conversation with normal people."
Appearance.
Vier has blonde hair and wears a lab coat over a pink shirt and black pants with high heels. She wears a green ribbon adorned with a yellow four-leaf clover.
Personality.
Vier speaks in an airy tone. She surrounds herself with many lobotomized scientists, who act very childishly, and sees them as "pure". Vier has a great fascination with Wisdom and seems to worship it.
Special Abilities.
Translation (SS)
"Apparently, to her, research was the translation of wisdom given to humans by God."
"It's said that, according to her, the most difficult and annoying part wasn't the research or the trial-and-error, but translating the results of those into a form even normal people could understand."
Background.
Vier was a brilliant physicist who worked on the surface world and invented the Dreissig Conversion. She's since faked her death and now works in an underground facility, studying Wisdom alongside other scientists and trying to learn their secrets.
Seshat mentions Vier having pored over a Wisdom that could lead to the "Third Missing Link".
Story.
Vier is first introduced in Chapter 5 when a doctor visits her underground lair, amazed that she's actually alive. Vier gives him a tour of the facility, showing that many other supposedly-dead physicists are roaming about. Vier asks the man to join her and reveals her knowledge that he was sent by the Three Kings to investigate her. The man tries to contact help but his Selcom malfunctions, and Vier soon captures him with several blue Gauntlet-wielding girls.
In Chapter 8, Vier takes the newly-lobotomized doctor on another tour, this time showing off a scientist who invented Immortality 8MS. This 8MS is supposed to make people immortal but at the cost of giving them blisters, fevers, and impairing their consciousnesses. Vier chuckles after realizing that the scientist who made this tried to hang himself but was being kept alive by it.
Vier then shows off a time capsule that can send someone 1000 years into the future.
In Chapter 21, Vier's subordinate Mario invents a machine that create a giant modern earthquake and disrupts all the 8MS in the world. Mario kills himself soon after, and Vier decides to prepare for her own death, having satisfied her intellectual curiosity. She wonders who helped Mario finish his machine since he clearly didn't do it by himself
In the epilogue, Vier holds Toujirou at gunpoint and is led by him to a statue of the Venus de Milo with a secret compartment built into it.
