Dawn of the Golden Witch
Following Chick Beatrice's trial, BATTLER joins the love trials as well, claiming he has already killed his sacrifice. With six deaths, these trials have effectively functioned as the first twilight of the witch's epitaph. On Rokkenjima, at 1:11 AM, Erika searches the mansion for the six corpses and manages to find the bodies of Rosa, Maria, Kyrie, Eva, and Natsuhi. The six corpse is that of Battler Ushiromiya and is found by Krauss and Rudolf inside of an unused and chain-locked bedroom. Erika initially refuses to invoke the "detective's authority" to examine the crime scenes with certainty, limiting her ability to fight against BATTLER. However, BATTLER realizes that she is only doing this due to the demands of Bernkastel; he berates Bernkastel for manipulating his game and mends the situation by retroactively changing the story so that Erika would have enough sticky packing tape to seal three rooms. After he leaves, Erika, Bernkastel, and Lambdadelta laugh, revealing that they had been acting in order to trick BATTLER into giving Erika her tape seals.
Determined to wait out the typhoon and contact the police, Krauss, Rudolf, Jessica, Genji, Gohda, Kanon hide in one bedroom while Erika, Hideyoshi, George, Shannon, Nanjo, Kumasawa hide out in another. Soon after, Erika slips away and uses her tape to seal both rooms. As she leaves to perform in-depth investigations on each crime scene, Erika finds Beatrice's letter on the ground, declaring that Battler's corpse has vanished. Erika contacts BATTLER and informs him that she had used her last tape seal to retroactively seal the room Battler's corpse was found in. This cripples BATTLER's plans, as he had intended for the secretly-living Battler Ushiromiya to be the one who placed the letter on the ground. Erika offers to let BATTLER remove the letter from the game to avoid a contradiction but BATTLER's pride prevents him from accepting this proposition.
Erika decides to investigate the room Battler's corpse was found in first. Upon doing so, she becomes embroiled in a fight with BATTLER wherein both of them repeatedly retroactively alter the story to determine the outcome of Erika's investigation. This culminates in a fatal Logic Error on BATTLER's part; he is backed into a situation wherein no one in the story could have feasibly placed Beatrice's letter. As a punishment, BATTLER's soul is made to spend the rest of eternity trapped within his Logic Error. His body becomes a lifeless husk. As a present for her victory, Bernkastel arranges for Erika to marry BATTLER; Erika would receive BATTLER's successor ring and BATTLER would receive a ring of subordination. This would allow Erika to torture and humiliate BATTLER for the rest of time. Bernkastel and Lambdadelta cackle to themselves as they leave to plan the wedding.
Zepar and Furfur announce Battler's informal retirement from the love trials. The remaining couples, George/Shannon and Jessica/Kanon, decide to settle the love trial with a duel between Shannon and Kanon. Zepar and Furfur arrange this in the style of a traditional Western duel, giving Shannon and Kanon each one pistol with a single bullet that causes instantaneous death regardless of where on the body it lands. The duel ends in Shannon's victory. After the loss, Kanon's spirit offers to help Chick Beatrice save BATTLER.
At BATTLER and Erika's wedding, Gaap, Ronove, and Virgilia attempt to figure out a solution to BATTLER's Logic Error but fail. Zepar and Furfur host the wedding until Beatrice arrives, seemingly with her original personality. Beatrice challenges Erika to a duel using the Red Truth and Blue Truth, claiming that she has solved the Logic Error by having Kanon swap places with Battler. Lambdadelta verifies this as true, ending the Logic Error. In order to win the duel, Erika has to prove how Kanon escaped the room after saving Battler. Erika is ultimately unable to figure out the solution and is defeated. BATTLER's soul returns to his body and he joins Beatrice. The two declare that, even including Erika, there were never more than 17 people on the island and shoot Erika together, killing her.
