Line 70:
Meanwhile, Maria reveals to Jessica, George, Battler, and Shannon that she had copied the witch's epitaph into her notebook. Maria persuades the group to attempt to solve the epitaph while they relax on the beach. The group manages to make some progress by deducing that the epitaph's first few lines refer to various places surrounding [[w:Odawara|Odawara]], however their conversation veers towards the existence of magic. When Battler and Jessica begin to deny the existence of witches, Maria becomes increasingly upset, forcing George to intervene. After Maria is calmed, she offers Battler and Jessica [[scorpion charm|scorpion charms]] which she claims will help ward off any malevolent magic. Before the group can return to solving the epitaph, the storm begins to set on the island and the group retreat towards the [[guest house]].
 
As the storm reaches Rokkenjima, Kinzo proclaims that [[Beatrice]] is on her way. As an offering to her, he removes his ring symbolizing his role as head of the family and throws it out of his window. Meanwhile, Kanon retrieves the cousins from the guest house for dinner in the [[Ushiromiya main building|Ushiromiya main building]]. Despite Kinzo's absence, the family begrudgingly eats their dinner. When they are finished, Maria procures a [[Beatrice's letter|letter that she claims she was given by the witch Beatrice|Beatrice's letter]]. Its authenticity is seemingly proven by a wax stamp that was created by Kinzo's ring. Despite this, the family is adamant that Beatrice doesn't exist and, in actuality, someone at the table had given Maria the letter and begin to heatedly argue with each other.
 
Some time later, Rudolf approaches Kyrie and Battler and claims that it is likely that he will be killed that night. Meanwhile, Krauss shows Natsuhi a gold ingot that he once found that he keeps hidden away, supposedly proving the existence of both the gold that Beatrice gave Kinzo decades ago as well as the existence of Beatrice herself. This leads to an argument between the two and Natsuhi leaves in tears. Jessica later approaches Natsuhi and shares a brief moment of intimate affection with her. This moment ends with Jessica giving Natsuhi the scorpion charm that Maria had given her earlier. In the [[rose garden]], George proposes to Shannon. He requests that she answer his proposal the following day by placing the ring he gives her on a corresponding finger.
Line 76:
The following morning, Gohda, Rosa, and Shannon are nowhere to be found. After some searching, Kanon, Genji, Eva, and Hideyoshi discover a [[Demonology in Umineko no Naku Koro ni#Seventh pentacle of the sun|strange symbol]] written in blood on the door of the storehouse. After opening the door, they find the corpses of Krauss, Rudolf, Kyrie, Shannon, Gohda, and Rosa. Rudolf, Kyrie, Rosa, and Gohda have had their faces destroyed and are recognizable only due to their clothing. Krauss and Shannon, on the other hand, have only half their faces destroyed and are still somewhat recognizable by what remains. Furthermore, Kinzo is missing from his room.
 
In order to avoid further tragedy, the survivors hole up in the [[parlor]] while attempting to figure out who could have killed the six people in the storehouse. Two theories are prevalent among the survivors; either one or more of the survivors themselves committed the murders or a [[the nineteenth person|nineteenth person]] exists on the island, separate from the survivors, and committed the murders.
