<h3>October 4, 1986</h3>
{
The rest of the Ushiromiya family is en route to the annual family conference; [[Eva Ushiromiya|Eva]], [[Hideyoshi Ushiromiya|Hideyoshi]], [[George Ushiromiya|George]], [[Rudolf Ushiromiya|Rudolf]], [[Kyrie Ushiromiya|Kyrie]], [[Rosa Ushiromiya|Rosa]], and [[Maria Ushiromiya]] all meet at an airport in order to make the flight to Niijima. In addition, [[Battler Ushiromiya]] meets at the airport to attend his first family conference in six years. After catching up, the family departs for Niijima. Upon arrival, the family boards a small ship that takes them to the conference area proper: Kinzo's private island, [[Rokkenjima]].

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. George claims he will surmise Shannon's answer to his proposal by which finger she wears the ring on the following day.
<h3>October 5, 1986</h3>
The next 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.

While inside the study, the group begins to focus on the witch's epitaph, which is inscribed under another, smaller, portrait of Beatrice. When they turn away from the epitaph, they notice another letter placed next to the canned food. Natsuhi points out that, when she went to set down food earlier, Battler, George, and Jessica were already looking at the epitaph and as such were innocent. She then accuses Nanjo, Genji, Kumasawa, and Maria of either working with the culprit or being the culprit themselves. Despite their protests, Natsuhi convinces them to leave the study in order to ensure she can protect Battler, George, and Jessica. Genji hands over both his keys and Kinzo's keys to Natsuhi, ensuring no one can enter the study. Those ejected from the study hole up in the parlor. Shortly thereafter, the phone in Kinzo's study rings. Natsuhi answers and can only hear a very faint sound of a young girl singing. Seeing as the phones are only capable of making internal calls during the storm, Natsuhi figures the call must be coming from the parlor.
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.
