In a [[Meta-World]] flashforward, [[Bernkastel]] presides over a wedding between [[Erika Furudo]] and [[Battler Ushiromiya]].
 
Line 76 ⟶ 35:
Meanwhile, an unknown character narrates their position of being locked inside a room in the Ushiromiya Main Building via a thick chain. The character attempts to scream for help but finds they are unable to use their voice. After rattling the door for some time, the lock changes to a simple chain lock and the character escapes. However, as soon as they step outside, they find a metal collar has fastened itself to their neck, chaining them to the room. A message scrawled on blood on the walls of the hallway inform the character that the chain lock must always be set; in order for them to leave the room, they'd have to do so without leaving the chain lock undone.
 
George and Jessica find themselves transported to the [[Witch's Smoking Room]] and learn from Shannon and Kanon that their love is about to be tested. Shannon and Kanon join their halves of the golden brooch, summoning [[Zepar]] and [[Furfur]], twin demons of love. The demons explain that only one relationship can continue forward; the other will inevitably crumble. They organize a fight between Shannon/George and Kanon/Jessica to resolve which relationship continues. Beatrice the Elder encourages Chick Beatrice to join in this fight in order to preserve her relationship with BattlerBATTLER.
In order to prove the worth of their love, each person has to sacrifice one person on the island. This takes place across four separate scenes:
#A scene wherein George reveals his relationship with Shannon to his mother. This leads to a battle with [[Eva-Beatrice]], which George ultimately wins. He asks [[Gaap]] to transport her body to the VIP room on the second floor of the mansion.
Line 90 ⟶ 49:
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 [[w:Duel|traditional Western duel]], giving Shannon and Kanon each [[w:Duelling pistol|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 preside overhost 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.
