Memories 31, 32; Skill 8
catchin' upppp THANK GOD THESE ARE ALL PRETTY BASIC TO WRITE UP.
THE MEMORY:
[Setting: The meta-parlor. Beatrice is finishing setting up the chessboard for the second game.]
BEATRICE: Do you have a problem...? [giving him a challenging look, smoking her pipe]
BATTLER: ...Nope. [shrugging his shoulders apathetically, not meeting her eyes]
BEATRICE: Don't you tell me you don't have a plan...?
BATTLER: Since I don't know your moves, I don't have any plan. ...Feel free to take the initiative.
BEATRICE: Hmph... Naturally, you'll allow me that. In what way shall I destroy your defense? With how many moves will I checkmate you? ...It's an opportunity to display my skills.
BATTLER: ...Whatever moves you come at me with, I won't believe you! ...As long as I stand my ground on that point, I won't lose. And that's that. This game was made so that I can't defeat you, right...?
BEATRICE: Maybe you're right. However, you know what? I'll decide how many times we'll repeat this game. It will be repeated over and over again, until I win and you recognize your defeat, okay...? In other words, this is torture. It's eternal torture that will continue until you surrender to me...! It will continue eternally, until you recognize me and the existence of the witch!
BATTLER: ...In that case, I'll go along with you endlessly, any number of times, until you run out of patience. I've never lost in these "endurance competitions".
BEATRICE: Did a witch from somewhere suggest that to you...? *cackle*cackle*, that's just fine...!
BATTLER: I'm tired of listening to your rambling. ...C'mon, get this started!
BEATRICE: Come, let us begin! I already know your moves far too well. A defense doesn't amount to much if the plan behind it is known! Don't think you'll be able to defy me with the same moves!!
BATTLER: ...Beatrice. I have only one thing to tell you before we start.
BEATRICE: What is it...?
BATTLER: You're free to say anything. However, whether I'll believe you or not, is something--I'll decide--for myself...! No matter how much of this magic you have! My soul won't yield to you. You think this is torture for me? You're wrong!!
BEATRICE: Then, what are you talking about...!
BATTLER: This is torture for you!! Someday you will yield to me and give up! Until then, you'll be tortured over and over again!
BEATRICE: How interesting, that's a nice comparison!! Torture where we torment each other sounds truly interesting! Come, shall we begin that torture!! Ushiromiya Battleeeeer!!!
SUMMARY:
There is nothing new here. It's just that seeing the moment itself is a kyaakyaa adrenaline rush. kyaaaaaaaaaa

AS FOR THIS NEXT MEMORY, I put on my registry that it was writing and sealing the letters, but really the important part is that she sends a number of letters throughout the series, and I wanted to make sure the content of those letters was on her registry SINCE SHE PROBABLY WROTE THEM. So this is less a script memory and more a transcription of those!!
THE WITCH'S LETTER:
I welcome you to Rokkenjima, members of the Ushiromiya family. I am serving Kinzo-sama as the Alchemy counsellor for this house, and my name is Beatrice. I have been serving him as stipulated by a long-lasting contract; but this very day, that contract has been pronounced terminated by Kinzo-sama. In consequence, from this day on, please acknowledge my resignation as Alchemy counsellor for this house.
And now, there is one part of the contract that I cannot let go on unexplained to you all. I, Beatrice, did lend a vast amount of gold to Kinzo-sama, under certain terms. Those terms are, that by the termination of the contract, all the gold will be returned to me. And also, that I am entitled to receive everything of the Ushiromiya family as interest.
Upon hearing this, you will most likely lament at how ruthless Kinzo-sama could have been. However, Kinzo-sama did nevertheless add a special clause in order to give you a chance to preserve your wealth and fortune. From the second that clause is fulfilled, I shall lose the right to recover the gold, and interest, for all time.
<Special Clause>
When the contract is terminated, Beatrice is within her rights to recover the gold and interest accumulated. However, should someone discover the aforementioned gold, Beatrice shall renounce all rights to its recovery for all time.
From now on, the collecting of interest shall take place; however, if but a single person fulfills the special clause, I will give back even the interest that I already took. Furthermore, as the first step of the collecting, I have taken possession of the symbol of the inheritance, the Ring of the Head of the Ushiromiya Family. I ask you to please confirm this by the wax seal.
As for the cache of the gold, Kinzo-sama has already edicted it in the epitaph beneath my portrait. Those who are able to read the epitaph shall be equal before me. If you manage to find the gold, I will most certainly give everything back to you. With that, please enjoy to the fullest your battle of wits with Kinzo-sama. I pray from the bottom of my heart that tonight turns out to be an intellectual, and yet elegant, night.
--Beatrice the Golden.
THE WITCH'S LETTER II:
Praise my name.
THE WITCH'S LETTER III:
Are you enjoying the riddle of Kinzo-sama's epitaph? You are probably already aware of this, but all of you do not have much time left. Please, abandon the naive thought that when the storm passes by, you will be able to run away. In this game, the only possible outcome is either you all or me winning. If you run out of time, I will win. There will be no draw. Please do not misunderstand that.
THE WITCH'S LETTER, EP5:
Congratulations. I acknowledge that Battler-sama spectacularly solved the epitaph's riddle and reached the Golden Land. All of the gold belongs to Battler-sama. Furthermore, Battler-sama is the new head of the Ushiromiya family. As proof, I send the ring of the head, which Kinzo-sama left in my charge. Battler-sama, I beg that you take the ring, become the new master of the gold, and lead the Ushiromiya family. I sincerely pray that you flourish as the new head.
--The Ushiromiya family alchemy counselor, the Golden Witch, Beatrice.
SUMMARY:
She knew this stuff too, mostly, HOWEVER... by now she already remembers the full text of the epitaph, but not the solution to it, so all this talking about solving the epitaph might pique her curiosity a bit more.

Skill 8: So in EP4 this happens.
This skill encompasses that kind of useless atmospheric magic that doesn't really need to be locked because there's not much that can be done with it anyway... :'D

"Y, yaa~y, yahooooooooo, g'moooooorning, Battleeee~r!! Are you still moping so early in the morni~ng?!?! It's the beginning of a new day, and a new game, so let's get our spirits uuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!!"
...She opened the door forcefully.
Like a marathon runner drawn on a certain caramel box, with her hands held high and with an idiotic cheeriness, ......Beato appeared.
For some reason, flags from around the world and confetti scattered about, looking completely stupid and out of place.
This skill encompasses that kind of useless atmospheric magic that doesn't really need to be locked because there's not much that can be done with it anyway... :'D
