Alliance of the Golden Witch

Alliance of the Golden Witch is the fourth arc in and the final arc of the original  visual novel.

Introduction
Good morning. I could never have imagined that you would not have surrendered by now. At this point, even I must expect great things from you.

The game is played not only on the board. Perhaps this time, you should take a small peek beyond its borders? As they say, if you know your enemy, you need not fight a hundred battles.

The difficulty level depends upon you. How you have chosen to battle up until now will influence the difficulty.

Plot
The Ushiromiya family prepare for their flight to Rokkenjima. Ange Ushiromiya and Bernkastel look on as they leave. Meanwhile, in the meta-world, Battler Ushiromiya and Beatrice prepare for the next game. Beatrice invites Ange as a guest to their game. In order to hide her true identity from Battler, Ange introduces herself as Gretel.

During an unspecified time after 1986, at St. Lucia Academy, Ange endures bullying from her classmates. After finding a place to seclude herself, Ange opens a diary written by Maria Ushiromiya that she retrieved after her death. She reads an entry about Maria's birthday wherein Maria received a stuffed animal named "Sakutarou" from her mother.

In 1998, Ange is confronted by Tetsurou Okonogi about her actions that resulted in her jumping from a building. Okonogi criticizes Ange's desire to "find the truth" as he believes nothing will sway Ange's mind from believing that Eva is responsible for the Rokkenjima massacre. Okonogi is then informed by his secretary that the Sumadera family is attempting to take guardianship of Ange and are waiting to pick her up. Okonogi directs Ange to his car and tells her to escape. As Ange attempts to leave the building, she is intercepted by Kasumi Sumadera's bodyguards. She is swiftly rescued by Juuza Amakusa

On October 4, 1986, the Ushiromiya family have begun arguing over the division of family head Kinzo Ushiromiya's inheritance. The siblings are upset that Kinzo refuses to see them despite Doctor Nanjo claiming that he is in good spirits. Kyrie Ushiromiya posits that Kinzo could have already passed away and that Krauss and Natsuhi Ushiromiya are hiding this fact to hoard the inheritance. The siblings give Krauss an ultimatum: Convince Kinzo to see them by the end of the night or pay them 900 million yen in "security money". After this, Krauss and Natsuhi visit Kinzo and talk him into appearing before the family after dinner.

Some time later, a typhoon envelops Rokkenjima. Rosa Ushiromiya drags her daughter, Maria Ushiromiya, out of the rain to dry off. The two become very lovey-dovey and repeatedly sing to each other that they love each other. This angers Gretel and she storms away from Battler and Beatrice. Gretel goes through Maria's diary and sees a memory of Rosa's neglectful treatment of Maria. Inside of this memory, Gretel witnesses Maria's troubled relationship with Rosa and comes to the conclusion that they have a sad, pitiful relationship with each other. Maria counters and claims that their relationship is a happy one from her perspective.
