Spoiler for Translation:

Part 1
p1
I am the true ruler of Rokkenjima
the Golden Witch Beatrice...

p2
I shall return Rokkenjima and the whole household of Ushiromiya to the Golden Land
for I am the witch of gold that enthralls this household, Beatrice

p3
Sayo: Even if I said I wanted to commit suicide together with this whole household?
Sayo(memory): I would never have wanted to live! In this body that can't even love!
Genji: ........................yes
For I too am to blame for driving you into this corner, my mistress.
I shall serve you until the very end.

p4-5
Rule X: The accomplicee is different every time.
The adults are all in financial trouble.
It is easy to bribe them.

Rule Y: Lies agreed on by everyone can be depicted as actually happening.
In a locked room situation anything goes.

People who observe the golden butterflies are either accomplicees or dead.
Those who were not bribed can only see the golden butterflies in the timespace of 30 minutes before their death.

From that point onwards I began to write down plans for a crime as if I had gone mad.

To question which future might be the best and what circumstances might satisfy me...

I wrote these tales of endless October 4th to 5th embellished with this illusion of magic

To me, being used to playing around with delusions, this was no mere plan for a crime...
but also the idea of parallel worlds on this day of the crime.

Sayo: Die

As if my soul was released from my body and I was able to experience all of these worlds...

Sayo: Die! Die! Die! Die! DIE!

p6-7
Sayo: Die! Die! DieDie! Die! Die!

I started to find a sinister delight in the act of endlessly killing all of the family

Sayo: Die! Die! Die!
Letter: ...th twilight as a sacrifice and died.
...th twilight as a sacrifice and died.
...th twilight as a sacrifice and died.
...th twilight as a sacrifice and died.
...th twilight as a sacrifice and died.

Ushiromiya Kinzo

With his accursed blood and all his sins he is the root of all of the chain of misfortune

To think that you should have the right to rest in peace
shouldn't it satisfy you to serve a role for Beatrice even in death?

Sayo: Die! Die! Die!

All of those who continued the chain of misfortune Kinzo began should die as well

Krauss, who is connected to his siblings by a chain of hatred and violence
Sayo: Die! Die!
and Natsuhi, who derailed my destiny
Sayo: Die!

Eva and Hideyoshi, who stands in the way of my and George-san's future
Sayo: Die! Die!
Rudolph and Kyrie, who gave reason for Battler-san not to return
Sayo: Die! DieDie!
And Rosa, who abused Maria-sama.

Sayo: Die!
Genji, Kumasawa, and Nanjo, who indirectly created this situation by serving as accomplicees to Kinzo
Sayo: Die! Die!
And Gohda who tried to get personal gain out of striking a deal with Natsuhi

It would be better for all people connected to the house of Ushiromiya to cease existing

p.8-9
The scenario is a ritual murder committed by a witch
The plan behind the scenes was my family suicide

With the gold ingots
and the cashcard that was charged with money from converting some of the gold　and the fitting keycode
I would try to win the adults over to my side

code: 07151129

Krauss and Natsuhi have many weaknesses, it should be easy to turn them into my pawns
Still, it would be better to hide my true identity when showing them the gold and threaten them with unveiling their conspiracy to hide Kinzo's death, their embezzelment, or threaten to kill Jessica.

But Natsuhi's will is weak and she is fast to talk, so there is probably not much merrit to making her an accomplicee
There would be more gain in just watching her in terror, not knowing what is happening

For Eva and Hideyoshi it would probably be just as worthwhile to use George as my trumpcard
Eva's actions are simple to predict, she is soft towards her next of kin but quick to leave those outside of her immediate family behind
She would be the perfect pawn in my game

[too unclear/scan cut off]
A clear downside is that Kyrie is fast to doubt people
If I am unable to make them into my pawns early, I should dispose of them as fast as possible...

I doubt whether Rosa would be open to discussion based on Maria's life, but she should be open to the promise of gold

A petty villain like Gohda should be easily bribed and made into a valuable member involved in the secret agreement

The one with the most value as a pawn is Maria

Adoring the witch, she would do whatever I tell her, and there lies a taste of truth in the words of a true believer like her.
She would surely take the role of confusing the people on the scene, as well as thickening the presence of the witch.

Yes, Maria is my most precious accomplicee, who I promised to take to the Golden Land.

I would never allow for her body to be disgraced, she must rest in peace

p.10-11
This is a level of overhead-view that humans cannot reach
This is my domain

p.12-13
Lambda(?): To tread from the physical realm of humans over the threshhold into the realm between the Fragments is a feat that proofs you to be a witch.
And an unexpectedly high one even...
??????
You humans are naught but the waterwheels that are moved by the destiny that we give rise to

And you, while being nothing but a wheel, are attempting to challenge destiny?

Since this child swore to me to "become a God" you are the first to raise my interest.
I am truly intrigued.
In you.
And in your magic system.

While you are nought but human flesh, you have gained my approval by arriving on this our plane of existence.
Your catbox holds perfect and endless possibilities.

Aah! How far will you be able to ease my boredom, I wonder.

Part 2
p.1-2
The timelimit is midnight on October 5th

500t of explosives will blow this island away

Until that moment!

Well then, try and stop me!!

The parents will definitel gather in one place and discuss family matters until deep in the night on the 4th

Murder will be so simple

Their bodies will be hauled to the storage shed that has been painted with a magic circle beforehand, and to hide the bulletholes I will use the sawed-off shotgun to blow off their faces

p.3
Of course there is also the method of locking the door from the inside and then committing suice to create a locked-room
I read that in one of those many mystery novels...
You tie the gun to a string of wire and the blast from the shot will catapult it back behind a piece of furniture to hide it...

I would just have to place a stake beforehand
then the illusion of the witch would prevail beyond my death, wouldn't it?!

Otherwise I could attach a misleading tag to the wrong key and place it in a room
even if I was to look the room from the outside then, the illusion of a locked room wouldn't be broken.
Since nobody except the servants would be able to discern a true key of this mansion from a fake one in the first place.

Of those many tricks I know, which one should I put to the test?!

Aah, but even if I don't go through the huge trouble of preparation, I still have my golden magic of the secret agreements.

p.3-4
You two would gladly sacrifice yourself to my desire, right....?

It's not like I want this

I want the people I love so much to live

That is why I really...

Yes!

I have not yet decided, yet I can think of nothing else.

So, that is why there must be someone else to stop me.

Rule X: Please, somebody stop me!

Kinzo said, solving the epitaph equals a miracle
So if I were to entrust it to a bet on the magic of...miracles

The one to solve the epitaph would arrive at this room, switch off the bomb and survive

I want to gamble with this chance as well.

If by any chance my beloved someone would solve the epitaph and through it inherit the headship...

I would devote my life to that miracle...
I would throw away all my other emotions and would live forever at that person's side...
and I would stop the murders and confess all of my sins

Such a result, whatever end it might bring, I could accept it...
For this would surely be my punishment.

I am sure you will be able to solve it, right?!
You will notice that I am the culprit
and then you will stop me, right....?!

p.5-6
If that might not come true, then at least let us all be happy in the Golden Land.

All of these bottle mails are made in a way that, if you follow all of the many rules, you will be able to unveil the culprit.
That is why each and every one of these bottles contains a confession of my sins.
Repentance for my sins that would not exist had I not written them down.

p.7-8
At least as a small apology I send the bereaved families a very small Golden Land of mine.
-- Of course I know that these would not excuse any of what I did

Once I would have Maria-sama recite the invitation I made her memorize, the curtain on this tragedy would have to rise, I assume.

After that it would all be left to the result of the roulette.
On October 5th when the bell strikes midnight we will surely all be welcomed to a land where we are freed from all of our suffering.

I am the noble witch of Rokkenjima
Beatrice

And I shall make the curtain fall on this accursed bloodline and this chain of ill fate.

On the one hand, wow I wanna be in Japan finally, so I can get this and read it completely and...

On the other hand...wow, this is kinda how I imagined it to have happened, but seeing it actually put to paper makes it kinda even more obvious how insane Sayo was in the end...
Yes, it's over the top, it's crazy, but it is very much in style of mystery stories and you could say that this is also a trope that the story has to fullfill. And honestly, I kinda like it how her whole mindset is put together, even though it makes her a little less of a good guy. Honestly, most of what she said is, at least from her limited perspective, quite true.

But, I didn't find it anywhere that she truly DID write Banquet and Alliance. Yes, stories like these were among her's...but it isn't clearly said that they were her's

Thank you a lot for the translation! I hope it's okay if I link it so as to share it...
I also hope once you'll be in Japan you won't forget about us and share some of the new stuffs you'll learn!


Well, the point is that the scenes are drawn exactly like the ones in the manga for Banquet and Alliance. Of course the author might have recycled them but it seems a clear hint those were hers as well. Oh well, we'll see if more will be revealed about it...

And now some thoughts on the new stuffs.

Geez, thank you, Genji. I tried to tell myself you couldn't be like that but you're exactly as I fear you were. When someone tells you, I'm desperate and suicidal and I also think to murder the whole family you don't tell them 'sure, go on, I'll lend you a hand' you at least try going with the 'is there anything I can do to help you feel better? By the way, I think the family will have to take a long holiday this year... in a place that's not Rokkenjima...'

Okay, okay, sarcasm aside it's horrible to see Genji being supportive of Sayo in THIS way, expecially when you read short after she wanted to be stopped!

I must track down which was my theory for the rules because... I can't remember it at all!
But I wonder... did Sayo change rule X or it's a mistyping and in the manga they should have written rule Z?

It's nice to know that golden butterflies can be seen even if you're not dead yet but about to.

And it's sad to hear her admit she was used to play with delusions. True but sad.

Her killing over and over reminds of Maria in Ep 4... only she doesn't seem to get the same "peace" as Maria if we can call it "peace"...

LOL, it's kind of fun to hear her thoughts about Kinzo. I guess she didn't share Genji's feelings of letting him rest in peace.

I'm not sure about Gohda... which personal deal did he strike? Gohda seems to be the only one who doesn't know about Kinzo's death... so he's just a worker for Natsuhi...

It's also nice to have confirmation she hid her identity from the accomplices.

Uhm... Maria gets strangled in Ep 3... either this isn't considered desecrating her body or yes, Ep 3 isn't written by her... but really, since the island explodes there's not much point in not desecrating Maria's body as her jaw in the end will be flying around...

I love the meeting with Lambda that's sort of a trasposition of one of the tips. Actually I was mentally complaining it wasn't included in Tsubasa but now I can see why.

In a way she sounds terribly naive. Yeah, I've read this in a mystery book, it surely works. Yes, it's a piece of cake bribe almost all the adults and make them paws.

And terribly desperate in how she wanted to be stopped... and be stopped by Battler. Not George or Jessica. Battler.

And so... in each bottle there was a confession also? The game doesn't really talk about them, were they removed before showing the bottles? That's odd...
