No, there wasn't, re-read the scene. When Erika first showed up, Meta-Battler complained about that new character and then Bern and Lambda told him about Erika and how she was the Detective and how her existence didn't violate the rules. During the parlour scene the only Meta characters around were Battler, Bern and Lambda.

Because a Meta-character being present means she doesn't exist?
Regardless, Meta-Erika was present before the Parlor Scene. I know that for a fact. Hell, you could argue she existed during the "Kinzo Escape" scene. What criteria are we using to determine if Meta-Erika exists or not, since she's ALWAYS meta-aware to some capacity?

She didn't gather everyone. Everyone gathered in the parlour at that time, because of the news of the visitor. We were told everyone was there by Lambda in the Meta, and then saw the whole thing through Piece-Battler's perspective.
|
Even if we take this at face value and assume Erika can't see through her own piece (which is nonsense), why wouldn't she take a head-count?

As for why she'd overlook things, assuming she had been informed beforehand that everyone would be gathered in the parlour at that point, she probably just didn't bother checking things further. Notice that the duct-tapes were pretty much used because of lack of knowledge of what would happen.

Erika doesn't trust anything not stated in red, and combs the red for verbal tricks and loopholes. This isn't good enough. Your explanations just aren't consistent with how Erika behaves.

Interrupted by whom? Battler stood in her way, and then she went "Detective Authority, bitch!" and did whatever she pleased. She explicitly told Battler she had no plans on checking the corpses. Not doing that was her own decision and mistake. Instead, she simply asked the oh-so-reliable Dr. Nanjo for his diagnosis.

Yea, and then things happened after Dr. Nanjo gave his diagnosis. Rememberrrr?

Seriously? Remember Erika's "Whoops... Talking with Nanjo about mysteries was so cool, I got careless for a bit, so a crime may have happened between 24:00 and 1:00... Teeheehee..."? Not only that, but she deliberately remained the in the Guest's House even though, as she claimed, a lot of gold had just been found and bad shit could have happened. Yet, she decided to stick around old people and children, instead of the people who were in a dire need for money.

Yes, and? To Erika's credit, the culprit, WHOEVER IT MIGHT BE, isn't going to do murder-y stuff if she's fucking watching them. Nor would it be fun for her to solve things that way.
