The thing is, you're treating Fantasy Scenes and Meta-scenes as if they're the same thing. They're not. A Fantasy scene is Beatrice claiming that Event X happened and showing Battler a very very complex cartoon that showed her little fairy tale. The Meta-Scenes are a higher level of reality, and, if nothing else, are a higher order of reality than the fantasy scenes. Even if we agree that the entire thing is a story written in a message bottle, we still have a clear difference between "Culprit X killed Jessica and Beatrice said it was Ronove" and "Bernkastel turned Ange into hamburger." The former statement is part of the premise that Beatrice is trying to take credit for mundane murders, and the second statement is a meta-fictional event taking place in the narrative, with no room for debate for Battler to claim it was Cosplaying Loli X.
