Section starts at 10:00 AM according to cut scene.
Part 11 A – The Golden Land

Eva

That is the opening line to this scene. I have no idea what she’s talking to/referring to. Is it some type of marking? Does the riddle tell the person who solves it to follow a certain object or trail?
Confirm:
There is a secret passage way somewhere. There are two switches in this area: one to turn on the light, another to open/close the passage (however, that is Eva’s assumption, she never confirms what that switch does). The passage way is old as there are many observable cracks and leaks. There is also a stair well that lead underground. Eva believes it takes her more than 1 floor worth below ground. Eventually, it leads to a metal door with an aged message painted in red:
第十の晩に、旅は終わり、黄金の卿に至るだろう
Beyond the door was a gorgeous room which looked similar to the 2nd floor VIP room.
- This is the room where Genji’s body was found in this episode.
- This is the room where Shannon’s Beatrice stayed in EP 02.
- Since it is underground there are no windows.
- In the back of the room, Eva finds the mountain of gold ingots each weighing ~10 kg and with the family crest engraved in it.
After finding the gold, Eva becomes ecstatic. She tells herself that she’ll be the next 当主 and is the golden witch Beatrice now.
Thoughts: Eva
believes to be the first to find this room amongst her siblings. Keyword is believes. We don’t know if she really is the first to find this gold. Krauss had 1 bar in EP 02 and we don’t know exactly where he got it (he claims got it from Kinzo’s legal witness who took one ingot as proof to the financial sponsors, iirc, back in EP 01). Krauss could be just playing dumb the entire time. He may have already found this room.
Part 11 B – Confrontation with Rosa 1 (@ secret passage way)
When Eva leaves the room, she meets up with Rosa. Rosa claims if she didn’t give Eva any hints about the riddle, she should have been the first to find the gold.
Thoughts: Would either sister been able to find this room in the prior episodes? Or is Rosa lying? Had she already found the room previously but allowed someone else to find the room and then corner them there like she does here?
Rosa and Eva have a slight confrontation.
They point there Winchesters at each other, but Rosa talks to Eva telling her to that she has no interest in becoming the 当主 and would gladly support Eva in that role. Her main reason why she doesn’t want the rites is because none of her siblings would recognize her even if she had the gold.
Both of them admit that they did think of shooting/killing each other. But they lower their guns, not out of love/respect, but because it isn’t smart due the circumstances: there is a hurricane trapping the family on the island. If one of them “disappears,” it would cause a large commotion. Even if the body can be hidden here in the secrecy, there’s no guarantee that no one will find the body.
Thoughts:
I’m pretty sure both of them realize, besides them two, there is at least 1 other person who knows of this place: Kinzo. Even though Kinzo is “dead” at this point in the story, it’s also revealed later that neither them believe that the 6 are dead. They may be worried of the possibility that “Beatrice” or one of the servants may know of this place as well. If they didn’t have to worry about this, would either of them shot? The above rational is from Eva, so I wonder if she would have…
Rosa asks Eva if she could see the gold. Eva allows her to.
Thoughts: This isn’t an educated opinion, but I can’t help to think that this was grave mistake Eva made… Rosa now visually confirmed the gold. If something is to happen between to two, there’s a huge motivation difference whether Rosa
thinks the gold exists and Rosa
knowing the gold exists. 何て言えばいいだろうか？覚悟の違いっていうか・・・殺すとか盗るとか物騒なを置いといて、感情的に違うで しょうね。確認取れたから出る行動あるでしょう。特に兄弟の前では控え目な行動や言語しかしない桜座の場合 は。強気に出る様相を上げて、裏目にでるじゃないかな。
Part 11 C – Confrontation with Rosa 2 (@ Rose Garden)
Confirm:
Eva decided the family fortune would be divided like so:
The 当主 gets 50%, then each sibling (including Eva herself) would divide the remaining half in quarters. Meaning Eva will get the 50% + 12.5% of the fortune (~125億円 = ￥12,500,000,000). All other siblings will get ￥2,500,000,000. Rosa claims that both she and Rudolf would be satisfied with this amount. Eva sees the only problem is Krauss since he manages the island and will not be satisfied with the circumstances. Rosa asks for １億５千万 in advance payment within 3 months as she will support Eva in convincing Krauss which Eva cheerfully agrees to.
Rosa quickly wants to surprise the other siblings about this find, but Eva asks Rosa to wait. Rosa is not happy about this as the siblings promised the previous night that in the case one of them finds the gold they would report it ASAP and until she gets all of her share, she wants to follow the rules set last night by the siblings.
Rosa understands why Eva wants to be so cautious, however, she can’t help to think that Eva may claim the entire fortune for herself. Thus she wants the other siblings to know ASAP to prevent this possibility.
Part 11 D – Rosa’s take on the “murders”
Neither Eva or Rosa believes the murders that just happened to be real.
Rosa believes this is a game the servants are playing.
Rosa reasons the 6 closed room murders cannot be executed by a stranger.
While Nanjo claims they are all dead, this is a lie. This has to be a game/prank Kinzo is playing on the family. The reason why Rosa hasn’t said anything up to this point is because of the situation. Suddenly, all the servants are “dead” and all who survived are the family members. The burnt corpse isn’t Kinzo as there isn’t a way to confirm the body beyond the number of toes. When the mysterious letter challenges the family to solve the riddle, Nanjo had already pronounce the servants to be “dead,” and sneaks away to the second floor as if not to distract the siblings from their riddle solving thus this has to be a game. Rosa tries to convince her sister that Eva is the victor of this game, and this needs to be announced.
Eva still claims she needs more time. So Rosa gave her 1 night.

Thoughts:
I can’t help to think Eva took this the wrong way…
Part 11 E – EVA Beatrice @ Meta world
Quote:
Beato
妾がそれを認めようぞ。そなたこそ、魔女の碑文に選ばし、正当なる右代宮家の当主よ。
|
To differentiate Eva two personas, I will refer to the “witch” as EVA (Beatrice) and the person as Eva. As much as EVA is pushed as Eva in the game, I again will keep these two entities separate. Reason why is, just as I believe “Beatrice” is not a single person with a unified goal, EVA Beatrice may not be as well.
Beato seems to give EVA the ring.
Thoughts: Did EVA pawn the ring from one of the dead bodies?
If so is the Rose Garden Beatrice one of 6 confirmed dead?
Or did she find it in the room or another location?
Or did someone give it to her?
Or is this absolutely useless info as unlike the previous episodes, no letters from Beatrice are found after Night 1?
Random thought: When I saw the portrait of EVA Beatrice, I immediately thought Card Capture Sakura
Also I always thought Maria didn’t look like Rosa or any of the family much, but this portrait could pass for Maria, imo.
After thought: The 黄金卿isn’t that far. The last section ended at 09:36 AM. This section began at 10:00 AM and ends at 10:30 AM. So, from Kinzo’s library to the黄金卿 took only 14 minutes of travel with Eva trying to decipher the riddle. If she didn’t have to do so, it might have taken her less time, I’m guessing half that time. What’s surprising is Rosa technically took less time then Eva to find the place. Which means, a) Rosa is that much smarter than Eva, b) already knew where the黄金卿 was, c) was able to follow Eva w/o Eva noticing. I don’t think (a) is the case. Rosa’s past reveals that Rosa struggled in school and currently isn’t doing too well either. (c) might be likely, but Eva was extremely cautious and she doesn’t trust her surrounding much in general (eg putting a receipt to see if Kinzo left his room). My gut says (b).
