| series = {{umineko}}

'''''Legend of the Golden Witch''''' is the first arc in {{umineko}}. It follows [[Battler Ushiromiya]] as he returns to the [[Ushiromiya family]]'s annual conference for the first time in six years.

 

''Welcome to Rokkenjima. The Golden Witch extends her heartfelt greetings. First, please put yourself at ease.''

 

 

''The difficulty is standard. Shall we first take the easy road?''

 

[[Kinzo Ushiromiya]], the aged head of the [[Ushiromiya family]], is suffering the effects of old age alongside heavy alcoholism. He has been repeatedly diagnosed by [[Doctor Nanjo]], his personal physician and close friend, to only have three months to live. Despite this, Kinzo has survived for over a year since the initial diagnosis. Kinzo claims that he only continues to survive because he desires to see the smile of his one true love, [[Beatrice]], once more.

 

Natsuhi, Battler, George, and Jessica slowly make their way to the parlor and discover it is locked. After unlocking the door with Genji's keys, they find Nanjo, Genji, and Kumasawa all pierced with stakes. The rest of the room is covered in blood except for a corner wherein Maria stands, facing the wall, singing. Battler, George, and Jessica attempt to get the truth of what happened from Maria, however they refuse to believe Maria's explanation of it being the work of Beatrice. They then notice that Natsuhi is missing and she has barricaded the door to the parlor from the outside. While they attempt to break open the door, Natsuhi stands before the large portrait of Beatrice, having read a fourth letter inviting her to duel Beatrice once and for all. Battler, George, Jessica, and Maria successfully break down the parlor door and soon after find Natsuhi's body in front of Beatrice's portrait. As far as they can surmise, Natsuhi appears to have shot herself with the gun in her hand. While Battler, George, and Jessica weep over their situation., Beatrice appears before her portrait. Battler takes Natsuhi's rifle and points it at Beatrice. Beatrice and Maria laugh as the clock strikes midnight.

The storm passed, and the leaden clouds that enshrouded the island for so long cleared away. From rifts between clouds sun beams shone, and yesterday's storm seemed like a lie. In the harbour, according to someone's wish, the seagulls returned once again and let their lively cries be heard. Afterwards, an inspection of the crime scene was performed by the policemen who came.
