The sixth game opens with Shannon and Kanon preparing the guesthouse. Shannon tells Kanon about George's planned proposal and that she will accept it, which gives Kanon the impetus to finally confess his feelings to Jessica. He goes with Gohda to meet the relatives at the dock, and everyone remarks his much sunnier disposition. Kanon manages to be alone with Jessica in the gardens, and confesses to her. Jessica's more than happy, and reprocitates. Both Jessica and us learn Kanon's real name : Yoshiya. Of course, Kanon still needs some time to make his affairs in order, but Jessica'll wait.
Those two are SO DEAD.
New!Beato has been listening to all this, and wishes she had such intimacy with "Father" (i.e. Battler). She resolves to learn as much as possible about the former Beato in order to become her and please Battler. Kumawasa agrees to help her, morphs into Virgilia and leads her to... Featherine's library, which has accounts of all the previous games. New!Beato is put into the care of Featherine's assistant... ANGE-Beatrice. Awkward.
Now, don't get me wrong : Ange actually quite respects new!Beato. But she's not really looking forward to this innocent girl becoming the bitch she hates. Despite her misgivings, though, she starts reading the past games' account with new!Beato (she's curious about the transformation too, after all).
We switch to an horrible storm, and I'm delighted to hear "Patchwork Chimera" as Erika ditches her lifejacket and lands on the island. So delightfully creepy...
Erika's even more of an annoying guest as before, proclaiming her intellectual superiority over everyone else. George tries to defuse the situation by holding a riddle contest, but it horribly backfires as Erika steamrolls through it. She does lose her nerve, though, when Battler finds the best solution at the "what's the minimum number of times you have to cut cheese to get 8 slices ?" riddle *.
Back to the person locked in the room... they try breaking the window with a chair, but the hole in the glass isn't enough to let them pass... And the glass is growing back, trapping their left hand ! To make matters worse, the witch is just outside (though they can't see her) and BITES one of their fingers. Ouch.
"Hey, did you hear something ?" Sorry, kids, the plot obviously doesn't want you finding that room yet. It's time to go back to the guesthouse and sleep. Erika stops for a while near Beatrice's portrait, which is an occasion for Shannon and the kids to share some witch stories.
Meanwhile, new!Beato has read all the tales about Beatrice, and still has no clue how to become her. She is sent to a few years in the past, where she finds older!Beato... who doesn't look any older than her, but whatever (older!Beato looks a lot like "Beatrice" from EP 2, but with longer hair). They're obviously both incomplete parts of the real Beato, with older!Beato having the meanness and the budding magic power (although she's not that happy about having to fuse with new!Beato). Older!Beato shows how she's building back her magic power, causing enough disturbances for the rumors about a witch to grow.
