Origin.
This card depicts Ange Ushiromiya, in a pose referencing her jumping off the skyscraper in the "Banquet of the Golden Witch" ???. The 6-star artwork features Battler Ushiromiya.
Story.
Ange finishes defeating some tsukuyami at the Furude Shrine grounds, wondering what even is this she’s ended up in, full of magic and cards. Ange begins to get light-headed and is saved by Kazuho, Miyuki, and Nao from falling into a gorge. The girls assume Ange is also a hot springs customer and say they came over when they heard tsukuyami noises. Ange begins to collapse from exhaustion, and the girls bring her to the Irie Clinic.
Ange wakes up the next morning inside a clinic bed and being tended to by the girls. They slept over at the clinic, wanting to make sure Ange was alright. They then ask what it was Ange saw at the shrine grounds last night, as Ange said she was fighting monsters. Ange says it’s exactly what she said, and that she knows the girls fight them too. After a moment of silence, the girls ask her to keep quiet about it, as it may be a problem for the hot springs district if the tsukuyami’s existence spread outside of Hinamizawa. Ange says it’s okay, as nothing she does in this world, let alone her own existence in it, matters anyway. The girls are confused as to what she means. Ange says she isn’t from this world, and Kazuho says she’s just like them, then.
Ange learns about Kazuho, Miyuki, and Nao’s circumstances. Ange says she plans to figure out how to get back to her own world. Just then, Battler and Jessica show up and greet the girls. Ange is shocked by their appearance. Battler and Jessica don’t recognize Ange, but they wonder why she’s wearing a One-Winged Eagle armband and is wearing the Head’s Ring too. Ange quickly explains that they’re prototype souvenir items for the Ushiromiya family resort, and Battler accepts it. Battler and Jessica say they came to the clinic to thank Irie in person after getting his help with hot springs duties. Ange is still speechless, and Battler and Jessica apologize for the armband talk since Kinzo doesn’t allow the family symbol to be worn so casually. Battler is still concerned about the Head’s Ring and feels like he’s seen Ange somewhere before. He asks for her name, but Ange opts to leave instead. The girls chide Battler for trying to flirt with her, but Battler insists she looks just like his 6-year-old sister. Battler wonders if they should let her go since she looked sad, and Kazuho goes off to check on her.
Ange starts crying outside the clinic. Kazuho goes up to her and asks if she has some kind of connection to Battler, having seen the looks of happiness and then sadness Ange had upon seeing him, and that she’s seen it before in her own friends: her friends have met people they desperately wanted to see but can’t convey their feelings properly. Kazuho can tell how pained they are, and she can relate since she’s also lost her family. Kazuho and Ange properly introduce themselves, and Ange explains she really is Battler’s sister. 12 years ago from Ange’s perspective, Battler and Jessica died in the Rokkenjima incident in 1986. Ange followed their tracks to learn what really happened and ended up going to Hinamizawa. Kazuho worries since it’ll happen in 3 years and so they need to tell them, but Ange stops her. They can’t let Battler know Ange’s name either, as that’s the rule imposed on her that will allow her to save him. Ange considers it a miracle that she can even see Battler and Jessica in good health here.
Kazuho says she still has the chance to save them, and Ange asks Kazuho what she plans to do with her experiences in this world: if Kazuho wanted to save someone important and learn the truth, and was feeling ambivalent, then which one would she pick? Ange wants to find the truth about what happened in October 1986, and so she’ll follow that rule. Ange is okay with it since this is a Fragment even the Witch of Miracles couldn’t find. Kazuho asks what she means by “witch”, and Ange says to ignore it.
Ange thanks Kazuho for talking to her, feeling like she understands this world a little more. Ange is about to explain why she’s arrived here when Battler and the rest of the girls interrupt them. Battler apologizes for the way he treated Ange and then asks for her name; Ange says “Gretel” in response. Battler jokes that he should be called Hansel then, and gives his real name. Battler invites her to eat with the group, and Ange accepts. Kazuho believes Ange’s reason for coming here is just to talk to her brother.

Story.
The club is putting on an Alice in Wonderland play for the Okinomiya Community Center. Kazuho worries since she feels she's a bad fit for the lead role of Alice. Miyuki and Nao assure her that she can do it and want her to give it a try, and agree to let her reconsider after.
Kazuho stutters as she practices her lines and is dissatisfied with the results. Rika arrives to practice for her part as the Queen of Hearts and gives a performance that impresses Kazuho. Kazuho compares herself unfavorably to Alice, finding Alice amazing since she interacts with many strange people and has the power of debate as her weapon. Rika asks what she would need to feel as confident as Alice, and Kazuho says she might feel better with a sword, as she used to do kendo. Kazuho says she's most afraid of not being able to help in case of an emergency. Rika suggests talking with Miyuki and the others to give Alice a sword then.
Later, the script has been rewritten so Alice carries a sword around. As a result, Kazuho gives a much more confident performance than before. Kazuho thanks Rika for the advice and swears to keep improving herself.

Story.
The club practices for a Journey to the West play they'll be putting on for a theater recital in Okinomiya. They begin with a scene where Rika is introduced as the character Priest Sanzang, who causes Rena to get a nosebleed with her cute performance. Satoko as Sun Wukong is introduced next, in a scene where a rock falls on her, but she messes up her lines. Satoko goes with Mion to memorize her lines after practice as Rika worries about her. Kazuho later asks Rika about it, and Rika wonders what she can do to help Satoko memorize her lines since Sanzang and Wukong have many scenes together. Kazuho says she should know everything about Satoko, and Rika thanks her since she now knows what to do.
During another practice, Rika ad-libs some scenes with Satoko by referencing things from their daily lives, such as threatening to feed her pumpkin. Satoko plays along and is able to act much more naturally. The other club members note how the other actors in the play are able to follow along with the script changes, and Rika and Satoko are having a lot more fun. Rika as Sanzang and Satoko as Wukong set off for Tianzhu together.

fandom.07th-expansion | # -45
-45 is a composer who worked with Ryukishi07 in .
History.
Doujin music artist focused mostly on electronic gothic music, known especially for his ability to create songs with dark and complexly twisted chord progressions.
Being a self-taught musician, the first works that he made publicly available were mostly BMS (Be-Music Source), which is a file format for rhythm action games, by the end of 2000. Since then, a wide amount of BMS made by him have been released, being some of them remarkably popular, such as "A", "Gengaozo", "Total Eclipse of Sun" or "suffruti", among others.
His first known participation in a CD album took place in rebirth -rebirth of link-, released on May 2002, after joining the Link in Zillion circle, contributing four songs on it, being three of them higher quality versions of earlier BMS he made and one of them album-exclusive. Later on, he also contributed another album-exclusive song in Rêve -Beginning of Dream-, SENS (both of them under the same circle) and Over the sky (under a circle called peasant).
Right after Link in Zillion disbanded in summer 2003, he created his own circle called D'va;;;;;;;;5, debuting that same summer with the first album of the circle, 45CD Project, which gathered songs of some former members of Link in Zillion, among many other participating artists, giving as a result an album with a wide range of genres, akin to the philosophy of the aforementioned circle. The subsequent albums of D'va;;;;;;;;5 lowered progressively the cast of participating artists and focused mostly on instrumental gothic music, with frequent collaborations of LUNE and occasionally some other guest artist such as guna. Conversely, -45 also made some contributions to LUNE's circle, T-Rify.D.
The event that triggered most of the popularity of -45 was probably his participation as a composer in the popular and highly regarded visual novel "Umineko no Naku Koro ni" ("When The Seagulls Cry"), followed by the release in 2009 of his most well-known album, アムリタ, mostly consisting of a reissue of his older works, which also included most of his contributions to the aforementioned visual novel.
After these events, he continued to release more albums, alternating solo works with other ones including several contributions of guest artists. He also kept releasing BMS once in a while, participating eventually in T-Rify.D albums and also contributing some songs to other circles, such as nlbs, Θ Complex and Team Grimoire, or even participating as a composer in commercial video games, such as Chaos Code and Chunithm.

The number 1 most loneliest and adversarial character in all of 07th history! If the other says Yes, she'll say No! They say No, and she says Yes! You want to say "But I refuse!", don't you, but she's so contrarian. At first, the character has a mysterious and cruel image, but as we come to understand her contrarian nature, she becomes like a sulky and cute girl.

Once she found out that Higanbana was a contrarian, she sometimes started acting in an intentionally cruel manner.
Recently, since Higanbana's been reacting the way she wants to a lot, she can't help but (secretly) find it cute.

Marie: "Look at this poor soul! Higanbana-san, please let it go!"
Higanbana: "Teeheehee, I'll let these poor souls go...did you think I'd really say that? *Gulp*!!!"
Marie: "You don't have to let it go. I'll mercilessly devour this soul."
Higanbana: "Really? I'd rather let it wander around the world of suffering. Teeheeheehee..."

Out of all the villainous 07th characters, somehow he’s the most beloved pervert!
I was going to have a thick text condemning all the evil things he’s repeatedly done to little girls, but I was forced to remove it since it would’ve become an 18+ game.
Of course, he won’t allow any nudity! Take off your clothes, but not your socks! He’s a strong believer in the legendary messiah K, who’s like a god in the 07th pervert world.

Blood Type: AB
Zodiac: Virgo
Likes: the doll in the infirmary, alcohol, princes
Dislikes: irresponsible people, snakes
A teacher with zero psychic powers is working in the infirmary, which is filled with Higanbana’s ghostly, discomforting presence. On the contrary, maybe she’s a person with such extreme supernatural power that she doesn’t care about Higanbana and the others. She’s spoken to Higanbana’s doll thousands of times, and looks after her and washes her. Whether or not this is the reason, Higanbana is no match for her.
After finishing her artwork, Ryukishi said he feels like she’d work for the Tactical Operations Branch First Division.

If Kanamori is the gentleman of the pervert world, Shintani is the lady! This school seriously has no shortage of perverts. She is a completely perverted lady who feels that immature people are most beautiful when they are budding, just before they bloom. Just as people with Stands are drawn to each other, she and Kanamori figured out they are part of the same world.
But, since their prey don't overlap, it seems they ignore it.
If they did, there might be a fierce battle between the greatly perverted dragon and tiger…

The story is actually not as dramatic as this one, but it is inspired by Ryukishi’s experiences in middle school. In other words, Nonomiya-kun was actually Ryukishi!
During cleaning time, when we were sweeping the hallway in front of the science room, some girls were joking around with each other and talking about who hit the science teacher on the head? Something like that. Then one of the girls pointed at me and said “Ryukishi-kun hit him!” "Clang!" I was left behind after school and got angry, but I couldn't forgive this false accusation. It's a heartwarming story that became my livelihood 20 years later~𝅘𝅥𝅮

I don’t remember the face or name of the girl who said that back then, but I couldn’t forget the shock of her suddenly turning around and pointing at me!
I felt the same way 20 years later when, while meeting up to play the social deduction game “Werewolf”, I silently kept my head down in the first round while someone said “I’m a fortune teller! Ryukishi-san’s the werewolf!” I said I wasn’t the werewolf, but everybody believed I was guilty…
Er, well, I "was" the werewolf! But I wanted to play for at least one round~.

Alright, alright, I confess! When I was designing this character, I was working on KEY's "Rewrite"!
Shizuru’s so cute, I drew her just like her with twin-tails and an eye patch, thinking “ueheheheheheheheh~”. She looks like a suspicious character, but she’s quite the attacker who throws down chairs and fire extinguishers and stuff.
Her offensive abilities are different than Hikaru-kun’s, who just throws down rabbit p*op.

He’s a mysterious character whose strange mask ruins his good looks. Of course, he has a policy never to remove his mask. The School Youkai actually intruded upon the school so they could monopolize the perfect hunting ground. They’re greatly envied in the youkai world, and so they, unsurprisingly, have many outside enemies.
So, in Higanbana The Movie, a great youkai attacks the school, and it builds up to all of the School Youkai banding together to fight it. Obviously, Higanbana’s character in the movie will be pretty.

変なマスクのせいでせっかくのイケメンが台無しという不思議キャラ。もちろんこのマスクはポリシーなので絶対に外しません。
学校妖怪は、学校という絶好の狩場を独占できるので、そこに割り込もうと考えた実は野心家。学校妖怪は妖怪の世界でも羨ましがられているので、案外、外敵が多いのです。
なので、劇場版彼岸花では、学校外の大妖怪が襲ってきて、学校妖怪全員が手を結んで戦うという展開もあります。もちろん彼岸花の性格も劇場版のキレイな彼岸花になります。

He was merely meant to be a gloomy looking, callous boy who preferred solitude, but perhaps, because of his design, his image became that of an emo boy with chuunibyou! And hence, all the fans were very entertained by his twisted character and got hyped, and that was a lot of fun. It makes me feel rather petty that I had him pick up rabbit p*op from the pens of all things, as a payback (from his classmates).

ただの根暗でちょっと孤独を愛する冷酷少年のはずだったのに、なんかビジュアルのせいもあって、暗黒厨二少年のイメージに！そのせいもあってか、ファンの皆さんにとても楽しく歪んだイメージで盛り上げていただいてとても楽しかったです。仕返してぶつける為だけに、ウサギ小屋でウサギのウ〇コ拾ってたかと思うといじましくなってきます。

A visiting sprite from Umineko! Although I actually recolored him to match "Higanbana"’s atmosphere. In "Higanbana", the shadowed parts are completely black so they blend into the black backgrounds and create a unique atmosphere.
How is it? The shadows are strong and create a different vibe than Sakutaro…right??

『うみねこ』から立ち絵そのままに参上！でも実際は彼岸花の雰囲気に合わせて色が塗り直してあいます。
彼岸花では、影の部分を完全な黒にしてしまって、背景の黒い部分と溶け込んでしまい独特の雰囲気が出るようにしています。
如何です？影が強くなって、さくたろとはちょっと異なる雰囲気になって、…ますよね？？

Although I drew him, there seemed to be something missing…I’ll put animal ears on him! Ta-da!! And that’s how they grew.
His mysterious way of talking was surprisingly interesting, and before long it evolved and was inherited by RGD’s Alfred. In Kyou-san’s case, it’s interesting that he’s extremely serious in contrast to his tone of voice.

What a powerful escapist dreamer! She’s admirable to have this much power. She’s a character set up to be good at theater, but in terms of facial expressions, she’s the complete opposite!! I prepared different faces for the scenario’s outlook, but there weren’t enough, and when it came time for cleanup, I suffered a lot from the lack of variation.
I believe that “number of faces” = “amount of acting ability”, and so that means the award for Best Actress of all time goes to Beatrice! By the way, the least is Rika from the Question Arcs? I think she only had 3…

パワフル現実逃避ドリーマー! ここまでパワフルだと天晴れですわ。キャラ的には演劇が得意という設定がありそうなのですが、表情差分的には全然正反対！！シナリオの見通しから表情差分を用意したのですが、表情数が全然足りず、演出のクリンナップ時には、表情のバリエーションがなくてものすごく苦しめられました。
表情差分の数=キャラの演技力、という考えがあり、その意味では歴代最高の主演女優賞キャラはべアトリーチェです！ちなみに最低は出題編時の梨花かな？確か3枚だったような……。

I tried to create a different type of perverted gentleman than Kanamori, but somehow he became a cool and good character. He’s supposed to be as powerful as Kanamori when it comes to perversity! Perhaps the youkai world also follows the Law of Tadaike…
Now that I think about it, I should’ve made him look more red-brownish, or made him look like a British gentleman and a Union Jack. He’d find himself with a lot of weird badges…

She slipped and fell in the pool, and unfortunately there was a corner of tofu there…

She had a strong sense of justice and was the pitiful type of girl to speak strongly to boys, which led to her getting bullied. Later, she got Azami Power and gained one million horsepower! But as a cost, she suffers from the dryness of bullying and has to scratch Yoshikawa-kun’s back to get rid of it. Scratch-scratch.

My bride of the youkai world!! I love idiot girls like this. However, I wonder what mysterious fabric she’s holding whenever she’s wearing her kimono, even though I’m the one who drew it. I’d think it’s more like a stole since you wear it over your shoulders or whatever, but this is something you hold in your hands, right? When I view her as my wife who brings me towels after a bath, it seems like nothing more than a fantasy. Right? Right?

I wanted to draw a bewitching older sister, but I don't have the art skills! Ughhh.
I mean, Japanese clothes are very difficult to draw, aren't they? It's so simple that you can't fool around with it.
I wanted to make a variety of arrangements for the youkai, but…I was able to hide my lack of art skills with the patterns on the fabric.
The Azami-Sumire sisters are fun characters, but their themes are pretty heavy. The themes I wanted to write about in Higanbana are most concentrated in the episodes where they appear.

Now is the time for me to come clean. Actually, I didn't draw this character.
This picture was made by a staff member who copy-pasted my past pictures and processed them to make a Ryukishi-style sprite!! I was at a loss for words at how well it turned out. What? I was so amazed at the quality that I thought, "Maybe I don't need to draw anymore”!
Amazing!
I think the outline of Aya's hair was taken from Leviathan from Umineko. Please compare them, if you like.

Since Black Tea Gentleman was very popular in the First Night, let’s have a character in the Second Night who can be a match for him! I wrote him as a hot-blooded guy with great enthusiasm! He really does look stuffy. He put a kotatsu blanket on top of his jersey.
He’s a deceitful bastard who leads girls astray with his behavior and manner of speaking, but from the bottom of his heart he doesn’t intend to do so. He’s a helpless youkai who loves sports more than love. Kanamori’s sworn enemy.

Higanbana Final Message.
<tabber>
<poem>
This story was originally contributed to Fujimi Shobo as a short story, “Gakkou Youkai Kikou”. Around the time of Umineko’s conclusion, I considered that I always wanted to write a collection of short stories next. I took great pains to expand Gakkou Youkai Kikou into a work with clearer and more understandable themes, and “Higanbana no Saku Yoru ni” was born.
I was very delighted to see a manga version of it, and the vividly moving characters really shined.
The artwork for the comicalization was done by Tsunohazu-sensei. Truly, thank you very much. I sincerely pray for your happiness in the next world.

「うみねこ」が完結する頃、次は短編集が書きたいとずっと思っており、折角なら「学校妖怪紀行」を膨らませはっきりとテーマを読み取ってもらえる作品にしようと「彼岸花の咲く夜に」が誕生させました。
大変嬉しいことに、漫画化までしていただき生き生きと動くキャラクター達は本当に輝いておりました。
コミカライズで作画を担当して頂いたつのはず先生。
本当にありがとうございました。
心より、ご冥福をお祈りしております。

She’s what we would now call a goofball character, who is not at all cute ordinarily, but is actually the most maiden-esque and vulnerable to unexpected situations despite how perfect she is in everyday life.
But because of that, she’s a very fun character, and the story is always lively and enjoyable whenever she’s involved. I think that’s what makes her so appealing.

A key character who approaches the truth of the story, but during the time of the Question Arcs, I didn’t give her much characterization and kept her very subdued so that she wouldn’t stand out...

この男が「やあ、僕は富竹」 と言うだけで、どうしてあんなにも笑いが取れるのか！これが話に聞くシリアスな笑いとうやツなんでしょうかね...。
物語を終えてみれば、助演賞をあげたいほどの名脇役となっていました。
しかし、...なぜカメラを黄色く塗ってしまったんでしょうね。プール用の防水カメラみたいなイメージだったんでしょうか。ほらアウトドアっぽかったから...。

Constellation: Gemini
Likes: books (including horror stories), collecting stuffed animals, her grandfather
Dislikes: Existences greater than hers, God
When Irie was set up as the final boss, Takano was planned to be in what is now Nomura’s position. However, when Irie told Satoko about having Satoshi’s brain encased in formalin, BT-san got angry and said, “Irie’s such a good person, but that’s horrible!” So we made various changes, and Takano-san was promoted to the final boss. As a result, she gave such a wondrous performance.

入江がラスボス設定だった頃は、鷹野が今でいう野村のポジションの予定でした。しかし、入江が沙都子に悟史の脳のホルマリン漬けを〜という話をしたら、BTさんが、入江はあんなにいい人なのにそれはひどい！っと怒ったので、色々変更になり、鷹野さんがラスボスに昇格。結果、あのような怪演技を見せてくれることとなりました。

Birthday: November 15
Blood type: O
Constellation: Scorpio
Likes: Drinking, smoking, mahjong, bunny girls
Dislikes: Crime, shiitake mushrooms
Viva middle-aged men!! Ooishi’s a condensation of elements from a super-cool veteran overflowing with dandyism that Ryukishi met during his time as a salaryman. Incidentally, it was this same veteran who took me to a mahjong parlor on my first payday and suddenly took my first paycheck. I had only ever played ari-ari mahjong, so my first time playing nashi-nashi was a complete appetizer. Maaaan was I worn out!

ビバオッサン！！竜騎士が勤め人時代に出会ってきた、ダンディズム溢れる超カッコイイ大先輩方の要素を凝縮したキャラです。ちなみに僕の初給料日に雀荘に連れて行って僕の初給料をいきなり巻き上げて下さったのもその先輩です。僕はアリアリの麻雀しかやったことないので、ナシナシの完全先付けってそれが初めてで、いや〜ボロボロでしたわえ！

I feel bad for him because he showed up to protect Rika-chan as her knight, but people call him “Lolisaka”. He doesn’t see Rika-chan that way! B-But, this feeling that swells up in his chest when Rika-chan clings to him is...oveflowinggggggggg!! Though I have a confession: I forgot to draw sideburns on him. I still worry about that. Sorry, Akasaka.

<poem>
Birthday: May 28
Blood type: O
Constellation: Gemini
Likes: Mahjong, Sanshoku Doujun, Tanki-machi
Dislikes: Children, government offices, neighborhood associations
I did my best to portray him as a villain who deserved to be killed, a scumbag old man. But this is contradictory to the famous line, “Nobody deserves to die!” Maybe Teppei-kun didn’t want to live this kind of life. This is the result of living a tragic life without the love of his parents. I’m sure those parents were the same when they were kids...it’s a sad, infinite loop.

殺されても当然なクズオヤジというイメージで頑張って悪役面に描きました。でも、死んでもいい命なんてないんだ！というあの名台詞とは矛盾してますわ。鉄平君だって、こうなりたくてこういう人生を歩んだわけじゃない。両親から愛情を注がれずに育った悲劇の、これは末路なのです。その両親もきっと子供の頃は...、哀しい無限ループ。

I drew the image of an evil woman. Couldn’t I have made her a little more alluring, like a cabaret hostess? Well, not with my art skills... She’s supposed to be an evil female character, but she has an ahoge sticking out of her head. Why did I give her one, when ahoges were meant to be equipped by love interests during that time...

Her character motif is a certain person from the legendary doujin work Tsukihime, which I adore. Tsukihime created a whirlwind of original works in the doujin software world, where only derivative works had existed for the most part. Higurashi was also just one of those loaches underneath its tree. Without a doubt, if Tsukihime didn’t exist, Higurashi would not have been written.

Dislikes: Dishonesty, cowards
Ryukishi loves to draw middle-aged men! Kasai is Higurashi’s most attractive uncle, isn’t he?! He really loves Akane, but she’s married now. There’s a somber setting that can be written as a drama, in Kasai being distressed because he sees Akane’s former self in her daughter Shion. There’s a lovely relationship between the two, with Shion also seeing through it and acting impishly.

In the beginning this character was planned to have no sprites. However, I had just a bit of time before the deadline, so I positioned her as a bonus character and made only 1 facial expression, finishing her with a bonus CG-like atmosphere. As such, there were no facial expression differences at all, and since the layers weren’t separated, I couldn’t mass-produce faces. Even with zero different faces, I somehow accomplished an extraordinary feat in making her screentime vigorous.

The same as Hanyuu, the leader of those that are not human.
Lived in "that place" for a long time, even in the past, where she once fought with Hanyuu.
Relations with Hanyuu are cold and have not been exchanged for more than several hundred years.
Hanyuu can’t stand her either. They both hope to never see each other again.
The troubles of the gods... bring unfortunate disasters to this world, the world of man...
...The story is about a tragedy again.

The 07th Expansion Character Popularity Poll is a character poll held on the official 07th Expansion website. It allows fans to vote for their favorite characters in the series represented. The polls do not follow a regular schedule, and are released whenever Ryukishi07 decides it.
Current Poll.
There is currently no poll ongoing.
Most Recent Poll.
The most recent poll was held from September 7 to September 30, 2020. Each person got one vote per day. Unlike in the 2012 poll, the votes were shared between characters from all series involved. In addition, voting in the poll no longer required a Twitter account, and there was no comment box.
The results of the poll were announced on November 8, 2020 at the 07th Party livestream. Unlike in previous polls, only the top characters from each series and overall were ranked, and their exact vote counts were not specified. Rank 11 to 20 of the overall results were not announced on the livestream but were shown on a PDF on the event website. Note that the results may contain spoilers for their respective series.
The PDF the event website published also included a short story based on the results of the polling.
Overall Results.
The seventh ranked character was originally omitted as part of a surprise in line with the name of the event, 07th Party. In the same vein, Amakusa was also revealed to be the 70th ranked character.

English Translation.
The 07th character popularity contest between all its works! All the characters from every work gathered together to determine the winner of the popularity contest in this big event, and everybody was very excited about it!
Of course, they were all interested in who was overall the #1 ranked character, but they also wanted to know which work they would be from, and who would be the #1 character in each work!
Keiichi: “The first place will definitely go to somebody from Higurashi!” Is what I’d want to say, but the other works are very popular, too.
Battler: No, no. The new Higurashi anime is going to start this fall. The winner this time will be from Higurashi.
Miyao: Ciconia’s story has just begun, and hasn’t finished yet. Well, it’ll probably be a one-two fight between Umineko and Higurashi.
Rena: Are you sure? A new work always gives off a beautiful glow. Rena wonders if she wants Ciconia to win, she wonders.
Beato: Well, if this was a normal contest, I would crush the opposition and emerge as number one! But, as you’d expect, I’m getting past my prime. So I’ll be generous and give the number one spot to a character from another work.
Jayden: Doesn’t the popularity contest have a weird atmosphere to it this time around? Normally I’d think everybody would be going “I’m the best, I’m the best, I’m the best”.
Gunhild: It seems the tendency here seems to trend towards modesty. For the guardians of the walls of peace, we tend to like mutual admiration.
Of course, everybody wanted to be ranked number one, and if that failed, they wanted a character from their work to be ranked number one.
However, atmospheres of modesty are interesting things. Once you foster an atmosphere of humility, everybody will praise the other people and be humble towards themselves…
Rika: I want characters from Ciconia to be really popular. A story about the future is more lovely than a story about the olden times of the Showa era.
Maria: Uuu! Maria wants to soar through the sky with a Gauntlet too! It’s amazing how they can fly around without caring about the anti-magic toxin!
Chloe: I’m jealous of how close everybody is in the world of Higurashi. I’d rather have that then flying…..><
George: By turning your friendship into power, you can overthrow your fate. That’s the core of that world. I think that’s fitting of the role of first place.
Satoko: Isn’t using the power of friendship a cliche these days? Don’t you long for Ciconia or Umineko, where everybody has great power?
Lingji: I also long for the world of Umineko. There, magic isn’t just some Selcom trick, it’s the real thing, and allows you to shift your form and do amazing things.
It was beautiful to see everybody complimenting each other. However, even though no alcohol was involved, the atmosphere gradually began to shift in the direction of recklessness.
In particular, the battle of humility between Umineko and Higurashi for the top escalated to an extreme level.
Keiichi: After all, aren’t all the heroines in Higurashi crazy? Hahahaha!
Beato: Right, right! Umineko doesn’t have any good male characters. The loser male characters are all in Umineko!
Mion: Even so, there aren’t any decent male characters in Higurashi! I’m really jealous of Umineko because it has a lot of charming male characters!
Keiichi: Yeah, yeah! I’m just a super dirty perverted character! Mion is a green-haired girl who calls herself an old man. There’s no way we’d be popular, wahahaha!
Beato: The protagonist here is a wishy-washy, good for nothing, self-proclaimed breast sommelier! I wish he had Keiichi’s strong will or Miyao’s cuteness!
Battler: Furt, furthermore, the self-described main heroine of Umineko doesn’t have any good qualities besides her big tits! She’s got zero cuteness and zero charm! She’s rude and vulgar, her brains are on par with a monkey’s, and the only magic she’s able to use is for killing people!
Beato: [breaking down noises] Th, there’s no way a character from a cruel game like Umineko would get a number one spot, riiiiiiight? *cackle* *cackle*
Satoko: This is an odd arrangement, is it not? I cannot tell if they are boasting or being self-deprecating.
Higanbana: In that case, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a curse, or charm, or punishment game inflicted to the first place winner?
Marie: H, huh? What do you mean, Higanbana-san?
Meryl: What do you mean? You’re saying that instead of getting a prize for winning, you would have to do a punishment game instead?
Stella: *laugh* isn’t that interesting? Since Umineko and Higurashi both say they aren’t going to be ranked number one, doesn’t that mean they don’t have anything to fear?
Alice: Anyways, I don’t see us winning number one, either. Isn’t that also interesting?
Usagi: Haha, there’s definitely no risk to us! Regardless of who wins, it’ll be thrilling, and there’s no way it’ll be itchy or painful *laugh*.
Leo: Not bad, this is pretty good entertainment. But if the punishment is really cruel and Rose wins, I’d feel bad for her. I’d like to do something mild.
Rose: I, I mean, I don’t need to win. After all, this is a long-awaited festival. I hope it’s a fun punishment game.
Jayden: Don’t you think this is starting to heat up?! The first place is definitely going to go to a cute girl! So let’s all come up with a nice punishment game!
Miyao: How about taking a photo of them and using it as the original photo in a shitty photoshop thread?
Keropoyo: Poyo! Come on! You’re in a room with a number of people with incredible powers!
Hanyuu: Au au au au! I have a lot of items with strange magic powers in the ritual storehouse!
Bern: I’ll take care of it. I can flip through a couple hundred Fragments in order to find an item that will deliver misery to the loser.
Jestress: This is a long-awaited popularity contest, and instead of congratulating the winner, they’re going to make them look terrible. No matter how far humanity advances, their skin is still greasy with envy. *giggle*
Characters from each work began to gather troublemaking items and discuss this and that. Other characters also met in order to hash out the rules of the punishment game. Little by little, everybody began to sense that if their assumptions were mistaken and they somehow managed to get first place, they would be in trouble. The group of characters not in Higurashi or Umineko made the grand proposal that all characters in the winning work be subject to the punishment game.
Okonogis (all): T, that’s no good... I appear in both those works, so no matter what, I will have to participate. That’s too much…..
Butler: Yeah, yeah. Some characters have appeared in more than one work. Isn’t the risk for them a little unfair?
Wayne: In that case, we’ll hold it like a battle between generals. Then it would be the responsibility of the boss to take all the blame. That’s the unwritten rule of commanding troops.
Shion: Um, I agree with Wayne.
Ange: I agree as well. I think it’s ridiculous to get involved in somebody else’s praises so much that you take a punishment game when you didn’t even win first place yourself.
From that, it was decided that the punishment game would only be given to the character who won the first place vote.
To begin with, it was the Higurashi and Umineko protagonists that engaged in the weird modesty battle. They were definitely competing over who would be crowned the overall winner. In that case, it would be better if they resolved it between themselves, without dragging the other characters into it.
For Higurashi, that would be Rena, and for Umineko, it would be Beato.
Koshka: In that case, it would be interesting to personalize the punishment game to those two.
Lilja: I’d like a super humiliating punishment game for those two, meow! Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow!
Bern: *laugh* I don’t know what you’re saying, but I know what you’re asking for.
Jestress: I wonder if you’ll give her the kind of punishment corresponding to the kind of bad kid who is obnoxiously humble despite thinking they’re number one…
Hanyuu: If that’s the case, use this, right here! C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, I’ll channel Oyashiro-sama’s power at full throttle! Come on out, super-secret punishment game power!
Rena: H, hey, Keiichi-kun, supposing that somebody from Higurashi won, who would it be, it be?
Keiichi: ...That would be Rena, wouldn’t it…?
Beato: Yes, yes, that’s right! Ah, what a detestable fate! Rena will certainly claim first place! If you break down in tears and apologize now, we won’t talk about a punishment game, okaaaay?
Battler: Hey, hey, hey, aren’t you getting a little too excited over this? ...And to be frank...aren’t you also really popular...?
Beato: Nooo, nope, nada, nope. There’s no way I’d come in first place in a popularity contest! How could a merciless, stubborn, cruel heroine get enough votes to win? *cackle* *cackle* *cackle*
Maybe it was because it was impossible to step off a ship once you’d boarded, or maybe because her brain was the size of a walnut, but Beato was the only one in such high spirits.
Rena: Hey, hey, hey, let’s not do the punishment game. Instead, let’s all congratulate the winner.
Beato: Oh, if it isn’t Miss Rena, whose popularity is skyrocketing again because of ! Now that you’ve realized that you’re going to be crowned number one, have you finally lost your nerve?
Virgilia: Why does this child always try to ride off at full speed without thinking immediately after mounting a horse?
Keiichi: Beatriiiiiice! You’ve said your piece, but are you prepared if you’re crowned first?!?
Beato: *cackle* Bring it on! If I’ve made a mistake in my calculations and am crowned first place, I’ll put up with any humiliation you give me!
Hanyuu: Okay, I’m focusing! Time to decide on the punishment game!
Bern: The final nail in Beato’s coffin was her saying that she would put up with any humiliation they’d give her. *giggle*
Jestress: No matter if Rena, or Beato, or even Keiichi wins, it will surely be interesting.
Hanyuu: In that case, I’ll reveal it. Nnnnnnnngggg!
Being turned into a titty mousepad while wearing a lewd micro-bikini and striking a sexy pose!
Keiichi: T, that’s an amazing punishment game…!
Battler: With this, it’s sure to catch the hearts of young boys and cause their hopes and dreams to swell inside their chests!
Rika: If I was wrong and the first place goes to Keiichi, I’ll definitely look forward to it. Nipah~
Maria: If Battler comes in first and has to get a mousepad with his two bulging XXXXs on them, he’d be too embarrassed to live!
Rena: R. Rena disagrees! Th, this punishment game is really gross!
Beato: *cackle* *cackle* If you dislike this so much, then submit to me! The pathetic Ryuugu Rena is too clumsy and stupid to rival Lady Beatrice in charm, so prostate yourself before me and lick my shoes, *cackle* *cackle* *cackle*!!!
Rena: …..No!!!! I’m not going to quit this game before I even know the result. Fine then, if I get first place, then I’ll follow through with any kind of punishment game!
Rena: But in return. Beatrice, if you are to win, Rena won’t hear any excuses or evasion from you, right…?
Beato: V…….very well, if that’s what you desire.
And…..finally, the results of the popularity poll!!
Who will obtain both glory from winning and humiliation from titty-mousepad-ification?
It, it’s Beatriiiiiice!!!!
Beato: Ugiiiiiiyyyyyyaaaaaaaaa! Gaap, create a portal! I need a portal!
Gaap: Honestly, what an idiot. You managed to get first place, and now you’re just strangling yourself with your own two hands.
Hanyuu: Okay, Beato! Change your clothes in the room over there, and after that we’ll start filming!
As she wore her tiny bikini, Beatrice reflected on this precious lesson about how too much modesty could be a bad thing….
Bern: Normally I’d be fine with just this as the punchline, but this time I have two more titty mousepad punishment games ready to go.
Jestress: In my era, the best we would be able to do for that many people would be to prepare the raw materials for a 4D printer. *laugh*
Beato: That means two more people will have to do this! I don’t want to be the only oneeeeee!!! Those two others, bring them here!
Bern: Since we are part of 07th Expansion, I’ll share that honor with the 7th and 70th places as well.
Jestress: There are a number of people with the same number of votes, so to keep things simple, let’s take the list of names and pick the 7th and 70th person from the top.
Beato: *cackle* serves them right! Come, embarrass yourselves alongside me!
Hanyuu: I’ll announce 7th place first! And they’re from Higurashi?! Ta-da! It’s Shion Sonozaki!
Shion: Huuuuuuuh!? What?! How?! My sister should be doing this sort of thing!
Hanyuu: And 70th place goes to an Umineko character! Ta-da! It’s Amakusa Juuza!
Ange: H, huh? Am, Amakusa? ...Amakusa is getting a titty mousepad?!
Amakusa: Well, miss. Haven’t you heard of titty male-sepads?
Ange: Why do you look so pleased by that! Ah, I get it, I get it, you’re the type of guy who likes to take off his clothes in order to show off his muscles.
Thus, the titty mousepad penalty game was settled with Beato in first place, Shion in 7th place, and Amakusa in 70th place. Congratulations to those three!

07th Party7全作品無差別人気投票!
全ての作品のキャラクターが一堂に会し、真の人気ナンバーワンを決めるこのビッグイベントに大勢のキャラたちが大興奮だ!
もちろん、総合1位が誰かなのも興味津々だが、1位のキャラはどの作品なのか、各作品での1位は誰なのかと、興味はまったく尽きない!
【圭一】「ズバリ、1位は『ひぐらし』がいただきだ!と言いたいとこだが、他の作品も人気があるからなぁ」
戦人】「いやいや。『ひぐらし』はこの秋にアニメが始まるじゃねえかよ。今回は『ひぐらし』で決まりだろうぜ」
【都雄】『キコニア』はまだ始まったばかりで話も完結してねぇし。まぁ、『ひぐらし』と『うみねこ』でワンツー争いだろうな」
【レナ】「そんなことないよ?やっぱり新しい作品が輝いた方が嬉しいもん。レナは『キコニア』に勝って欲しいって思ってるかな、かな」
【ベアト】「まー、普段ならば妾がブッチギリでナンバーワン! と思うところだが、まぁ、さすがに妾も旬を過ぎたであろうな。なので気前よく、今回のナンバーワンは他の作品のキャラに譲ってやろうと思うぞっ」
【ジェイデン】「何だか、今回の人気投票は妙な雰囲気だな? 普段なら、どいつもこいつもが、俺が俺がナンバーワンってな感じだろうに」
【ギュンヒルド】「謙遜し合う流れになっているようです。ですが、互いを称え合う雰囲気の方が、平和の壁の守護者としては好ましく思いますです」
もちろん、みんな、なれるものなら自分が1位になりたいし、そうでないなら、自分の作品出身のキャラが1位になって欲しい。
しかし、場の雰囲気とは面白いもので、一度、謙遜し合う雰囲気が出来上がると、みんな、相手を褒めて自分を卑下するという流れになる・
【梨花】「ボクは『キコニア』のキャラが大人気になって欲しいのてすよ。昭和の昔の話より、これからの未来の話の方がステキなのです☆」
【真里亞】「う一!真理亞もガントレットで空が飛んでみたい!反魔法の毒素を気にしないで飛び回れるなんてすごいよ!」
【クロエ】「私は、空が飛べるより、みんな仲良しな世界の『ひぐらし』さんの方が羨ましいし憧れますぅ・・・・・・>く」
【譲治】「友情をカに変えて、そして実際に運命を覆せる。それを体現した世界なんだからね。僕は-番に相応しいと思うよ」
【沙都子】「友情パワーで解決っなんて、今時、流行りませんでしてよ? やっぱり、出てくる人たちがみんなすっごい力を持っている『うみねこ』とか、あるいは『キコニア』の方がすごいし、断然、憧れましてよ?」
【鈴姫】「私も『うみねこ』にやっぱり憧れますわ。セルコン上のまやかしじゃなくて、本当に魔法で、変身したり、不思議なことが出来たりするなんて、やっぱりすごいと思います」
互いが互いを褒め合う姿はとても美しいものだ。。。・ しかし、別にアルコールが入っている訳でもないのだが、次第にその方向性が、暴走し始める。
特に、恐らくはトップ争いになるであろう、『ひぐらし』と『うみねこ』の謙遜合戦はエスカレートを極める。
【圭一】「それを言ったら、『ひぐらし』のヒロインなんか、イカレた上に病んでるヤツしかいねぇせ? わっはつはつは!」
【ベアト】「そーそー!『うみねこ』は男キャラも、まるでパッとしたのがおらぬ。ダメ男キャラは、み~んな『うみねこ』に結集しているからなぁ!」
【魅音】「『ひぐらし』だって、男キャラはろくなのがいないって!『うみねこ』は魅力的な男性キャラが多くて、ホント羨ましいですって!」
【圭-】「そ、そうそう!俺なんか、ムっツリドスケベのただの変態キャラだしな! 魅音だって、一人称がおじさんで、緑髪のキャラだし。人気が出る要素がまったくねぇよな!わっはっは! !」
【ベアト】「こっちの主人公など、自称おっぱいソムリエの優柔不断の甲斐性なしと来たものよ! はぁ、圭-のようなたくましさや、都雄のような可愛らしさでもあればよかったものを!」
【戦人】「そ、その上、『うみねこ』の自称メインヒロインなんざ、乳のデカさ以外に、なぁんにも取り柄がねぇ!
可愛げゼロ、魅力もゼロ! 下品で粗暴、知能はサル並、使える魔法も、人を殺すこと以外に出来た試しがねぇ!」
【ベアト】「ふぬぬぬううううううぐぐううツ、こ、こんな酷い『うみねこ』では、1位になれるキャラなど出せる訳もないぞぉおぉおおおおおお?ふふふ、クククククう！！！
【沙都子】「何だか、おかしな塩梅ですわねぇ?卑下してるのか、自虐風に自慢してるのかわかりませんでしてよ。。。
【彼岸花】「・・・・それならば。1位には何か、呪いとか祟りとか、罰ゲームとかあったらいいんじゃない?」
【毬枝】「え? ど、どういうことですか、彼岸花さん・・・・・」
【メリル】「どーゆうこと? つまり、1位になったらご褒美じゃなくて、逆に罰ゲームになっちゃうってことぉ?」
【ステラ】「うふふふ・ 面白いんじゃない? だって、『ひぐらし』も『うみねこ』も、どちらも自分が1位じゃないって言ってるんだから、恐れる理由なんかないものねぇ?」
【アリス】「・・・・・・どうせ私たちには1位の目なんかないんだし。それも面白いんじゃない?」
【ウサギ】「うひゃー、それは確かにノーリスク! どっちが1位になろうとも、こっちは痛くも痒くもなくて愉快痛快、ぼんぼやーじゅ! !」
【レオ】「いいねぇ、余興にしちゃなかなかだ。だが、あんまり酷いのにすると、ローズが選ばれた時、気の毒になる。そこそこ、マイルドなのにしてもらえるかい」
【ローズ】「べ、別に私は選ばれなくていいけど。でも、せっかくのお祭りだし。何か楽しい罰ゲームになるといいんだけれど」
【ジェイデン】「何だか、面白そうな流れになってきたぜ? !きっと1位はカワイイ女の子になるんだろうしな! ナイスな罰ゲームを考えようせ!」
【都雄】「じゃあ、クソコラグランプリのコラ元画像にされるとかどうだ?」
【ケロポヨ】「ぼよん!こういう時は、不思議な力を持っているキャラたちカモンですぼよ!」
【羽入】「あうあうあう! おかしな魔法のカのアイテムなら、僕の祭具殿にお任せなのです!」
【ベルンカステル】「任せなさい。他人を不幸にするアイテムなら、私が幾百のカケラを巡ってでも集めてきてあげるわ」
【ジェストレス】「せっかくの人気投票なのに、1位を祝福どころか、酷い目に遭わせようだなんて。ニンゲンどもの文明は、どれほどに進もうとも、いつも皮脂と嫉妬に塗れておりますわ。クスクス」
各作品で、ヤバそうなアイテムを持ち出してきそうなキャラたちが集結し、あれやこれやと議論する。
他のキャラたちも、罰ゲームのルールについて打ち合わせをする。
この頃にはそろそろ、間違って1位になったらヤバイかもしれないという雰囲気が、少しずつ感じられるようになっていた。
ひぐうみ勢以外からは、1位のキャラの作品に登場するキャラ、全員が罰ゲームの対象という、壮絶な提案がなされた。
【小此木たち】「そ、それは困りますんね・・・・・・。俺はどっちの作品にも出演してるので、罰ゲーム確定になっちまいますん。それはさすがにあんまりですんね・・・・・・」
【バトラー】「そうだせそうだぜ。複数の作品に登場してるキャラだっているんだ。リスクが不公平なのはちょっとズルイぜ?」
【ウェイン】「じゃあ、大将戦でいいだろ。責任はボスが全て取る。それが、群を率いる者の不文律だぜ」
【詩音】「えーと、私、ウェインさんの意見に賛成で一す」
【縁寿】「私も賛成。・・・・どうせ自分は1位じゃないのに、他の誰かの栄誉に巻き込まれて自分まで罰ゲームなんて、馬鹿らしいわ」
という訳で罰ゲームは、人気投票で総合1位を取ったキャラクタ-1名に課されることとなった。
そもそも。事の発端である、気色悪い謙遜合戦をしていたのは、ひぐうみの主人公勢だ。
どうせ、総合1位はその中で争われるに違いない。
となれば、彼らの中で全て帰結してくれるのがべターだ。
他のキャラたちは巻き込まれるのは御免なのだ。
彼らの見立てでは・・ 、『ひぐらし』ならレナ。『うみねこ』 ならべアトというところだ。
【コーシュカ】「なら、あの2人に特化した罰ゲームにした方が面白いっぺよ」
【リリャ】「なんか、チョオ恥ずかしいヤツがいいニャーゴ、ウニヤ~ンフニヤフニャア! なミャーオフミャーゴがいいニャオ!」
【ベルンカステル】「・・・・・・くすくす。何を言ってるのかさっぱりだけれど、何を要望されているのかはわかっているわ」
【ジェストレス】「本当は自分が1位かもしれないって思ってるクセに、厭味ったらしく謙遜しちゃう悪い子には、このくらいの辱めが必要ですかしら" " "」
【羽入】「ならば、これです、これなのです! !キタキタキタぁ! !オヤシロパワー全開! 宿れ、秘密の超罰ゲームパワー! ! !」
【レナ】「ね、ねえねえ、圭一くん・・・・・・。仮に『ひぐらし』が勝つとして、 ・『ひぐらし』の1位って、誰かな、かな
【圭一】「・・・・・・やっぱり、レナじゃねぇかなぁ・・・・・・」
【ベアト】「おうおう、そうだとも! きっと必ず、いやさ運命! 必ずやレナが1位を取るであろうぞ!今の内に泣いて詫びれば、罰ゲームの話を流してやってもいいのだぞお?」
【戦人】「おいおい、あまり挑発するなって。・正直な話、 ・お前も結構、人気、あるんだぞ・・・・・・?」
【ベアト】「いやぁ、ないないないっ。妾が人気投票1位などある訳がなかろうがぁ!こぉんなに残忍で意地の悪いヒロインが、どうして票を集められるというのか。ひゃーっひゃっつひゃっひゃっひゃ!」
乗りかかった船は降りられないのか、それとも脳みそがクルミほどしかないからなのか、べアトだけがひとり、テンションが高いままでいる・
【レナ】「ね、ねぇねぇ、やっぱりやめようよ、罰ゲームぅ。1位の人は、みんなで素直に祝福してあげようよぅ」
【ベアト】「おおぉ、さすがはアニメ効果で人気も再沸騰のレナ嬢よ! 自分が1位になると気付き、ようやく怖気づかれたかぁ? !」
【ワルギリア】「どうしてこの子は、マウントが取れそうになると後先何も考えずにすぐに馬乗りになりたがるのかっ」
【圭一】「べアトリーチェ! そこまで言うからには、お前が 1位だった時は覚悟しろよッ? ! ? !」
【ベアト】「わっはっはっは! 望むところよ! もし間違って妾が1位になってしまったなら、どのような辱めにも甘んじてやろうではないか!」

謙遜も過ぎれば厭味になるという、とても貴重な教訓を、べアトリーチェは小っさいビキニを身に付けながら噛み締めるのであった・・
【ベルンカステル】「普段ならこれでオチでいいんだけど。今回はこの、おっぱいマウスパッドの罰ゲームの準備があと2人分あるのよね」

【ベルンカステル】「という訳で、07th Expansionにちなんで、第7位と第70位にも、この栄冠をお裾分けしてあげることにしたわ」

Transcript.
"Pew pew, wham, kaboom!"
"PLAYER 2 WIN!"
Miyao: What the hell! How did that shot even hit!
Jayden: Of course it hits! I knew there was no way you’d notice, Miyao-chaaan!
Miyao: B-but, that only hit me because we’re in-game, okay?! That would never work in a real battle!
Jayden: Yes, yes, I get it already, Supergenius Jayden had to use a nasty glitch to beat you, Miyao-chan ♪
"Even if it was only a game, Miyao was clawing at the floor, frustrated at losing in a Gauntlet Knight battle. He was strong, even at Gauntlet Knight games, that much was undeniable. But he let his pride get the better of him. He couldn’t match up to Jayden, who was hell-bent on winning at any cost!"
Jayden: Ever since we decided to have this match, I’ve been studying this map, you know? I’ve been analyzing even your smallest habits and patterns, training, and training again!
Miyao: Why do you not put that kind of effort into real training…
Jayden: But I don’t get to give you dares if I ace real training! I’ll spare no effort if it means seeing you embarrassed!
Miyao: You say that like it’s not weird as hell…
Gunhild: Do we have a winner?
Jayden: Hell yes we do! A flawless victory by yours truly.
Gunhild: That’s nice. I’m glad all the time I spent helping you with that special training didn’t go to waste.
Miyao: Y-You did all that just to beat me? Even Gunhild? What the hell did I do to deserve this?
Gunhild: Nothing. We just thought you should be the "Ciconia" representative for the 07th Expansion Party announcement poster.
"The 07th Expansion Party announcement poster!"
"It is a 07th Expansion-only event that will be held on Sunday, November 8 2020 at 3331 Arts Chiyoda! For the poster photoshoot, a representative from each series was needed. Rena Ryuugu from "Higurashi". Beatrice from "Umineko". Higanbana from "Higanbana". Leo and Rose from "Rose Guns Days". Alice from "TRianThology". But who should represent "Ciconia", was the question…"
Gunhild: You’d assume Miyao would be the obvious choice.
Jayden: Right. Why are you being so difficult?
Miyao: No way, it’s embarrassing, not doing it! Besides, why does it have to be me? Isn’t it weird?
Gunhild: How so?
Miyao: I mean, Rena isn’t the protagonist, is she? She’s the heroine! And Beatrice isn’t the protagonist either, she’s more of a rival or heroine character, right?
Jayden: Higanbana’s the protagonist, though, and so is Leo? So where’s the problem in having it be our protagonist, Miyao?
Miyao: No way! It’s humiliating, no way!
"Miyao kept insisting they pick another representative. Afterwards, since Jayden wouldn’t yield either, they decided to settle it with a game, leading us to this merciless and overwhelming victory…"
Gunhild: It looks like you’re sharing center with Rena and Beato. No one will be able to miss you.
Miyao: So just put someone more fitting there, then! Why does it have to be me?! It’s Rena and Beato! You should pick a cute girl to represent "Ciconia" instead! There’s a ton of characters in "Ciconia", just have the girls duke it out in a battle royale for the spot! So why did you gloss over them and pick me instead? There’s our bewitching beauty from Finland, Lilja-chan-sama, there’s Lingji, there’s Naima, and, and..! Anyway, there are so many beauties you could pick from!
Gunhild: And after a painstaking judging process, you’re the one we picked, you know?
Miyao: No way, no way! It’s embarrassing, no wayyyyyyy!
"Red as a beet, Miyao was shaking his head with a comically angry expression. Gunhild nodded approvingly. Truly, this right here was why he was most fitting for the position."
Jayden: Come on, stop yelping so damn loud! You lost fair and square, didn’t you? You’re such a sore loser, partner! I was fully ready to be the poster rep if I lost! I’d have worn that iconic Angel Mort uniform with pride, in spite of the embarrassment! I’d have even put my hair in twintails!
Miyao: …hold on a second. Angel Mort uniform? Embarrassment?
"Poyo! Search suggestions, on! Showing results for “Angel Mort uniform” poyo~"
Miyao: What the hell is thaaaaaaaaaat?!?!
Jayden: Hmmm~ nice, very sexy ♪
Gunhild: I still can’t believe the B3W era has such lecherous… excuse me, such cute costumes.
Jayden: And so, for this poster, we’ll have the three main representatives wearing this front and center.
Miyao: Lalala, I can’t hear you! And besides, that’s made for girls, isn’t it? I’m a man, you hear, a man!!
Gunhild: Miyao, claiming an article of clothing cannot be worn by a certain gender is a violation of the AOU Gender Discrimination Abolition Act, you know.
In the AOU, a coalition of self-proclaimed forward-thinking nations, enforcing gender stereotypes is prohibited. Just as women can wear pants without any issues, it is forbidden to criticize a man for wearing a skirt. Conversely, asserting that women must wear skirts would be considered coercive behavior towards a gender, and as such be strictly reprimanded. As such, even a burly man with chest and leg hair would be free to walk around in titillating female clothing. However, if the surrounding people were made to be uncomfortable, of course, it could lead to unfortunate situations. It all comes down to personal responsibility. There are no proper regulations, but everyone exercises the bare minimum of courtesy to avoid offending others. That is AOU etiquette.
Miyao: I’m pretty sure that forcing me to wear those clothes against my will is also violating my rights!
Jayden: In the first place, going back on your word when you said you’d be on the poster if you lost is a breach of contract, though?
Gunhild: Exactly, exactly. You settled it through a Gauntlet Knight duel, albeit in a game.
Miyao: That’s… I. I will admit I have to be on the poster. But you said nothing about wearing that demeaning outfit!
Gunhild: Well, how about you tell the other two why you can’t wear it?
Miyao: Who are those “other two”?
Gunhild: Rena Ryuugu-san and Beatrice-san. Which reminds me, you still haven’t met them, have you?
Jayden: In this universe, seniority isn’t based on age, but on debut appearance.
Gunhild: Precisely. And since you’re the protagonist of the latest series, that makes you their junior.
Miyao: Isn’t "Higurashi" the one where the girl with the axe goes kerokerokerogekogekogekogeko!!
"…wow, what was that. It looked like Miyao’s words had triggered the Kizuna’s settings, and were drowned under a cacophony of frog noises."
Jayden: "Higurashi"’s fine and everything, but "Umineko" is the best with all those glamorous girls ♪ Especially Beatrice ♪
Meow: That’s right ♪ Sorry I’m flat as a board ♪
Jayden: Huh? Miyao, did you say anything?
Miyao: Nope. I didn’t, at least…
"And thus. The poster shooting session came, and with it the occasion for everyone to meet. Of course, that didn’t mean Miyao had made his peace with wearing the outfit. He was hellbent on making Rena and Beato go with a Gauntlet Knight look, since the Angel Mort costume wouldn’t fit him."
Miyao: I mean, that outfit is from "Higurashi" in the first place! If I wear it, we won’t be able to advertise the new series! Since "Ciconia" is the hot new thing, let me wear my Gauntlet Knight uniform! And besides! Why shouldn’t they get to wear it as well? With that, we’d be able to promote the new series, and we’d all fit together. I get to be cool, everyone’s happy, the end?
Gunhild: He’s really thought about it, huh. I see, if you put it like that, he’s almost got a point.
Jayden: Dang… I wanted to see Miyao-chan in an Angel Mort uniform…
Rena: You’re Miyao-kun from Ciconia, aren’t you? Aren’t you? You’re so kyuu~te, I just want to take you home with meeeeee~!!!
Beato: So you are the protagonist of the new opus. They sure picked a cute one for the main role this time! Kukukuku!!
Miyao: I-It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Miyao Mitake…
Beato: You may call me Beato. In return, I shall adress you as Miyao. Don’t be so stiff, now. Let us play our part in matching outfits as centerpieces of this poster!
Miyao: A-Actually, ……the matching outfits thing, is what I wanted to bring up…
Beato: Haaa? Surely you do not mean to say you are loathe to wear this garnment with us?
Rena: Awww? What’s wrong with it? Is it because you’re embarassed? Is it? It would fit you so well, though, it would be so kyuute…
Miyao: No no no no no, I’m telling you it’s not cute at all! People don’t want to see a guy wearing the Angel Mort uniform, I’m pretty sure.
Rena: I don’t know about that? When Keiichi-kun had to wear it, people were crazy about it…
Beato: Because it fit him. Battler’s frame is too wide, so it wouldn’t fit whatsoever. Or rather, the uniform that fits him most is being stark naked. Kuhihi!!
Rena: I bet you’d be super popular if you wore the uniform, Miyao-kun! I guarantee it!
Miyao: No no no, I don’t care about your guarantee. I’m not wearing such an embarrassing costume, ever.
Rena: Eeeh, why does it have to be embarrassing? Why?
Beato: Is it humiliating for the cuckoo in your loins to puff up, squeezed by the leotard? Is it humiliating to have your crotch adorned with frills? That’s not it, is it?!?! You cannot bear to have people gaze at your shameful expression, can you?! Kuukukuku!! Come, my goat servants! Throw Miyao in a changing room and transfigure him into an Angel Mort boy!!
"Goat butlers appeared out of thin air, lifting Miyao up and storming the male changing room. He tried to struggle, but without his gauntlet, he was no more than a powerless, slender boy. And yet, Miyao’s cries of protest could still be heard coming from the changing room."
Rena: I can’t wait to see Miyao-kun in the Angel Mort costume ♪ Hauu, I already want to take him home ♪
Beato: Well then, shall we get changed as well? …hm? What’s wrong, my goat servants?
Beato: What is it? What happened, now? What is that…? The boy turned into a girl halfway through…?? So that was why the goat butlers shuffled out of the changing room in a hurry.
Beato: What are you blabbering about, you fools? Never mind that, did you manage to make Miyao change?
Meow: …Um, …E-Excuse me…
Rena: Huh? You’re not Miyao-kun… are you?
Meow: I… am another personality residing inside Miyao Mitake… My name is Meow…
"There weren’t any physical changes. However, those mannerisms made it clear that she wasn’t the boy they had been calling Miyao Mitake. Rena understood that right away. Beato already seemed familiar with the idea of CPPs, and looked extremely fascinated by Meow."
Meow: My brother suddenly closed the door to his heart and shut himself inside… Sorry he’s being so difficult. I’ll be taking his place…
Beato: Well, it’s true there will be no difference on the poster if you share the same body. Hhmm, I’m intrigued by what you call CPPs, however. To think such a concept is widely understood in the A3W world… How fascinating.
Rena: Meow-chan, nice to meet you. You can call me Rena! Have you ever worn the Angel Mort uniform?
Meow: No, it’s my first time. …It’s a bit embarrassing, but I thought we might be able to get along, so I was even looking forward to it a little!
Beato: Heeey, are you listening, Miyaooo? Your little sister gets it, at least!
Rena: Come on, let’s get changed! I’m sure we’re keeping the photo people waiting!
"The staff was at the studio. Jayden and Gunhild had come to cheer them on. There were… two photographers. There really should only be one, but there were two of them."
Tomitake: Wow! You’re telling me that in the future, you can take photos directly with your eyes?
Toujirou: The quality is pretty mediocre, though. But it’s useful as a complement for your memory. I think the craft and artistry that goes into B3W cameras is much more impressive, though.
Tomitake: I don’t think a camera is something you snap around willy-nilly. I think it’s more like archery. You focus your spirit like you’re drawing a bow and letting it loose in one perfect shot.
Toujirou: I get you. Recording video and picking one shot out of it in post just doesn’t have any soul.
Tomitake: You really get what cameras are all about! From now on, you can call me your brother in arms!
Jayden: Miyao and the others are late… You don’t think he’s still kicking a fuss about the costume?
Gunhild: Rena and Beato are on another level. I don’t think he’s going to be able to talk his way out of this one. …oh, there they are.
"The staff called everyone in the studio. Rena and Beato were wearing the Angel Mort uniform. And on their tail, Miyao was doing the same, waving at everyone with a bashful smile."
Jayden: Huh? …that’s not Miyao, though?
Gunhild: Ah, I see how it is. He got Meow to switch with him. A sore loser to the end. Fufufu.
"Meow seemed to be getting along well with the other two girls. Pose after pose, they looked like they were enjoying the photoshoot. As far as Jayden was concerned, it was a shame he wouldn’t get to see a flustered Miyao throwing a fit, but he was content enough just enjoying Meow in an Angel Mort getup."
Tomitake: Ah, sorry, everyone. Let’s take five, okay?
"The photographer called for a break. It didn’t feel like a hard-earned pause after getting in some good shots. It was like the pictures didn’t have the impact they were after…"
Tomitake: Something’s strange here. We’re missing something…! You see what I mean, Toujirou-kun?
Toujirou: Hmmm… I sort of see what you’re getting at, but I can’t quite put it into words…
Beato: What is it, now? Is my voluptuous body not enough for the likes of you?
Rena: I don’t think that’s it? But there has to be something wrong for Tomitake-san to be frowning so much…
Meow: After I went through all this trouble, I was finally starting to have fun! It’s a shame we have to take a break. Oh, how about we take a souvenir picture?
Beato: Ooh, what a grand idea! How about it, how about it?
Rena: That sounds fun! Cheese! Right, right?
Toujirou: Something’s missing… I’m stumped…
Gunhild: Sorry to bother you. Is something the issue?
Tomitake: Ah, perfect timing! We were wondering if you had any idea about what we’re missing. Something important.
Jayden: …well, I… might have an idea…
Toujirou: Oh? And what would that be? We’re starting to run out of studio time, so if you have a plan, we’d like to try it.
Jayden: Let’s do it, then. I just need a moment.
"Jayden ran up to the three maids, chatting and giggling while eating snacks… then started muttering something to them. Meow seemed extremely displeased, but Beato gave her a push with a wry smile, sealing the deal."
Gunhild: What the hell were you guys talking about?
Jayden: Just you wait! This has got to be the missing piece.
Tomitake: Well then, break’s over! Everyone, let’s take it from the top~!!
Rena: Hau~!! Let’s do our best, one more time, hau ♪
Meow: I-I’ll do my best too, but this is going to cost you, Jayden!
Beato: Kukuku, I did think something was missing as well! Kuukuku!
Gunhild: That’s… still Meow, isn’t it. I thought for sure you were going to call back Miyao. She’s a part of him, for sure, but Miyao’s the protagonist here.
Jayden: Tsk tsk. Close, but you’re only half right. Besides, even if I had her call Miyao back, I don’t think he would graciously help us with the shoot. In other words, there’s no point in having Miyao come begrudgingly! We need Meow-chan’s help, or we won’t get this done!
Gunhild: Fair enough. You’re Miyao’s buddy, of course you’d understand his charm more thoroughly than anyone. Fufufu.
Toujirou: Nice, nice!! Give me a cute pose, give me something more sexy!
Tomitake: Great! That’s it! You’re dazzling with cuteness!
Jayden: Alright, go, Meow-chan, it’s up to you!
Meow: I swear I’ll make you pay for this ten times oveeeeeeer!
Miyao: Hmmn, …what’s up all of a sudden, Meow…
Tomitake: That’s it, give me sexy, Miyao-kun! Can you stick out your butt and bring up your chest for me?
Miyao: Huh…? Huh? Huh?!
"Meow has struck the most sexy pose she could muster, and switched personalities back to Miyao. Who was greeted with a myriad of flashes. The gears in his heads shifted, gradually processing the situation. Then, in a pose he wouldn’t be caught dead in, his cheeks instantly flushed…"
Toujirou: That’s it, that’s the face I wanted to see, Miyaoooooo!!!
Tomitake: Awesome, magnificent! That bashful expression you can only see on a boy! That’s it, right here, right here, that’s what I wanteeeeeeed!! Howl like the wind, my camera of justice!! I’ll settle this with a dazzling Tomitake flash!!!!
Miyao: Meooow, Jaydeeen!! I, I’ll remember thiiiiiiiis!!!
"Miyao, hiding his crotch in shame with a silver tray. And reflected upon it, Jayden’s smile, which had “gotcha” written all over it… That is the story of how we got this poster."

Script Preview.
<Thank you for waiting. The Service Agent has arrived poyo!>
Service Agent: Sorry to keep you waiting, Senor.
The avatar of the employee known as the manager arrived.
The Yaoyorozu Nanotech has made customers of governments and companies. As a result, anyone who comes to visit is shouldering a whole massive organization. As such, there is a significant amount of manners involved.
Service Agent: Welcome to Yaoyorozu Nanotech. Today, I am acting as your Service Agent. My name is...
Toujirou: LATO Administration, Brazil Section, Gilbert Barrichello. I put in some work to make sure I got you. So there’s no need for pleasantries. But I don’t need anything from Gilbert. I need something from the Green Reaper.
Service Agent: ...er...eh? What did you say?
He tried to look confused, but his act was easy to see through.
The Green Reaper. Probably a combination of “Green” and “Grim Reaper.”
Basically, a god of death who hunts the colour green.
Of course, the only time he used this name was when acting as his other personality that only appeared online.
Though it’s another personality, he isn’t a CPP.
It’s the alias he’s used since childhood for himself as a genius hacker.
Toujirou: So, as for what I need. Just by you appearing in front of me, my errand’s already halfway complete.
Black Clothed Man: ...Excuse me. Comrade, the folder has opened.
Toujirou: Ah, thank you. This...this is the contents of your personal folder, correct?
Service Agent: Eh...a...ah…
Toujirou: For someone who calls himself a genius hacker, I’m sorry to say this, but no matter how high you get there’s always someone higher. In mere moments after you accessed this place, we went ahead and accessed your personal folder.
Service Agent: Ah...just who…
Toujirou: Relax. I’m not a cop. But if you’re not honest with me, it’d be a hundred times better for you if I were one.
Service Agent: ………………………
Toujirou: That computer virus that’s been going around recently. Red Dye. That was you, right?
Any machine infected would have all accessible RGB information altered to set the G and B numbers to zero.
Only the R would remain. As such, any infected machine would only be able to display the colour red. It’s known as “Red Dye” for that reason, but as it kills all images by making them bright red, it’s also known as “Red Die.” Because it has no other negative effects, it was classified as a prank virus, but it’s certainly extremely annoying and liable to piss you off.
Toujirou: Be straight with me. Or maybe you won’t open up unless I release these precious images you’ve got, which look illegal just to own?
As Toujirou lined up images with skin-coloured thumbnails, the man snapped and admitted he was the Green Reaper.
Service Agent: Yeah, it’s me. I made it. You fuckin’ satisfied? Or you gonna say my language was inappropriate or some shit and send a claim to the customer service center?!
Toujirou: Don’t get mad. Calm down, okay? I’ve got two things for you.
Toujirou: The first is that if you answer my question honestly, it’ll be like today never happened. If you’d like, I’ll even leave you a good review at the customer service center. The other one…
Service Agent: Okay, okay, that’s fine! You win. So? What’s your question for me?
Toujirou: Why did you kill B as well, instead of just G?
Service Agent: Huh?
Toujirou: You’re the Green Reaper, aren’t you? You were pushing for rapid development of the Amazon, weren’t you?
During World War III, the world’s countries traded blows with weapons of mass destruction and completely destroyed each other. However, the South American continent was blessed to be able to avoid most of the damage.
And so the world began the competition to rebuild in the A3W era. Humanity, after nearly destroying itself, began developing super technologies one after another and recovered with incredible speed. And the countries that avoided most of the damage, those that would later form LATO, had a commanding lead in that competition.
The newly developed 4D Printer technology could do everything from leveling to construction at a speed completely escaping previous common sense. As a result, rural areas that had been left out of development in the past developed rapidly.
Brazil and the other countries in the region wanted to go ahead and develop the Amazon Rainforest. But then, the “Environmental Protection Unit” from the North American and European countries that had been falling behind in the competition raised an objection. They claimed that due to the great many species of animals and plants and the effect on the world’s environment, developing the Amazon would be tantamount to a great sin against the planet itself.
At the same time, the former great powers of the B3W era had completely ignored their own environments and engaged in reckless development in the name of recovery. Therefore, public opinion in the South American countries boiled over in opposition.
Eventually, the scarce and vast underground Spirit Fields were discovered, LATO was formed, and opposing forces could no longer say anything in objection. Even so, many citizens of South America continued to hold a grudge about being blocked from developing the Amazon.
In the end, thanks to the vast profits brought about by Spiritium, there was no reason to focus on developing the Amazon, and LATO reigned on top of the world. As a concession for having emerged victorious, LATO announced that they would abandon Amazon development and that it would be preserved as a natural reserve for all humanity to share.
...But many young people within LATO believe the nation surrendered to the former B3W superpowers, flattering them and acting weak. In order for LATO to remain on top of the world forever. And to send a message that LATO would never again be conquered by the former B3W superpowers. They aggressively, recklessly maintained the position that the vast land of the Amazon should be developed immediately, and that the only ones who wanted it to be preserved were the scholars bought off by the old superpowers.
The Green Reaper was one of those who demanded its development immediately.
Toujirou: Why did you kill B as well, instead of just G?
Toujirou: You’re the Green Reaper, aren’t you? The god of death who hunts green? So then shouldn’t you just kill the green? Why did you kill the blue?
Service Agent: No, uh…
The man’s bewilderment was a bit strange. It didn’t look like he was confused by the bizarre question. Rather, his face seemed to say, why was someone talking about B “again”?
Service Agent: What...is this...exactly? You, and that other person. What do you have against B, against blue?
Toujirou: Who do you mean?
Service Agent: I’ll talk in order. Just like you’re thinking, the virus I created originally just set G to zero. “The Green Reaper, he who kills green, has arrived,” yknow?
Where will that virus be sent? Isn’t it obvious? The place where it would have the most impact, be seen by the most people. I succeeded in getting the password of one 8MS engineer. My target was one of our company’s biggest products, the water purification 8MS!
Toujirou: The water purification MS doesn’t just clean it, but controls the colour it gives off, correct?
Service Agent: That’s right. Most people think that the water in the oceans, rivers, pools, and the water supply is blue, green, or transparent. But it’s all fake! It’s all just whatever colour we set the 8MS to!
Toujirou: ...So your virus, the Green Reaper, takes away the illusion, and sends a message to kill all the green, clear the Amazon, and show the world how strong LATO is...is that right?
Service Agent: Ahahaha, it’s great, isn’t it? Nature means fuck all nowadays! The only reason people think otherwise is because the 8MS makes them think it does! The Amazon’s fucking useless! Who gives a shit about rare plants and rare animals, as long as we have the 8MS we don’t need anything else, ahahahaha!
But of course, even a genius like me can’t get to the core of the 8MS or the 8MS transmitter. But the colour at least! That kind of prank is something I can do!
Then, just as I was about to release my Green Reaper, an unexpected guest arrived. Just like you, they pretended to be a customer. And they said they knew everything about my prank. They said that it’s interesting, so they wanted me to let them take a bite as well.
Toujirou: What did they mean by take a bite?
Service Agent: They told me this: Just like you want to kill green, I want to kill blue! I can’t stand the fake blue of the oceans created by the 8MS!
Toujirou: An Anti-8MS activist?
Service Agent: Probably! But I don’t give a shit! Their conditions were way better than yours. It wasn’t just that they’d keep quiet. They gave me a nice fat allowance for my trouble. And in advance! Of course, if I took the cash and ran, my prank’d get exposed. I couldn’t refuse, and I got paid, so why the hell not?
And so, I changed the virus to not only kill the G, but the B as well. This way we’d both get what we wanted! And with green and blue set to zero, all that was left was red.
Toujirou: I see. So the water purification 8MS infected with the virus all were dyed the colour of blood.
Service Agent: Aahahahaha! It’s fuckin’ creepy to see the Amazon River dyed red! Flatten that shit and use it to build a base for the LATO Federation Army in space! LATO will take over the entire Solar System!!!
Toujirou: Have the 8MS infected with Red Dye already been deployed?
Service Agent: Yeah! The update’s already gone out and it’s spread out all over the South American oceans, lakes, and water supplies! However, it looks like the guy I stole the password from got flagged by an AI for improper access and was transferred. So my prank’s one-and-done.
The effects of 8MS are not forever. Just like cells get replaced over time, old 8MS die off and get replaced by new ones. The 8MS I infected will get replaced after a year and fall into the ocean.
Service Agent: So before that happens, I wanna raise hell at least once! I’m thinking of doing it around the anniversary of LATO’s formation.
Toujirou: How are they activated?
Service Agent: I infected the 8MS’ error signal. If I send the 8MS the signal to begin an error test, the oceans, rivers, and everything’ll turn blood red!
The water purification 8MS’ error signals are white for alert and yellow for danger. If there were to be an error, the water would first turn cloudy white, and then it would shine yellow. At first, the developers of 8MS planned to set it to yellow for alert and red for danger. However, enough people thought that dyeing the oceans red was far too unsettling, so it was set to cloudy white and then glowing yellow. But due to Red Dye, it would all become a far more unsettling red…
Despite being a prank virus that would just change the colour to red, its construction was very complicated and required a very high degree of skill. Programmers and hackers always put a ton of effort into their pranks and easter eggs……
Toujirou: Did you provide a copy of Red Dye to the person who paid you the allowance?
Service Agent: They said their desire was to turn all the oceans across the world red. Abusing my position at the company, I can dye LATO’s oceans, but there’s nothing I can do about the others. Maybe they’ve got some other way in? Whatever, I don’t give a shit.
Toujirou: ...Sheesh, what an irresponsible hacker you are. What will you do if there were some side effects on the 8MS, and the entire world turned into cornflakes or something?
Service Agent: Hahahaha! I wouldn’t mind! I’d prefer choco-crispies myself, though! Don’t get mad, ok? I’m telling you the whole, honest, complete truth just like you asked for, got it?
Toujirou: That’s true. So I’ll keep my promise. But try to keep your pranks to a minimum, alright?
Service Agent: Hoho! Keep it to yourself. This is my life’s work. Shove it!
Toujirou: The person who got you to kill the B. ...Well, I suppose they wouldn’t leave themselves open, but did you pick up any clues that would connect to their true identity?
Service Agent: They used some dumbass frog as their avatar, and the entire conversation gave absolutely no indication as to their nationality, gender, or any kind of characteristics.
Toujirou: I’d expect as much.
Service Agent: But y’know, my man. If you give me a little tip, this genius hacker here will tell you something only I could’ve caught onto.
Toujirou: Enough for a coffee, anyway. But if it’s legit, I’ll make it enough for that coffee to be a Five-Star Special. What did you notice, Mr. Genius Hacker?
Service Agent: The reason I’m being honest with you now is because that person was several levels better than I am, and you have the same smell as they do. I knew right away I didn’t want to piss you off, so I opened up right away.
Toujirou: So then...when that person told you they knew you were the Green Reaper, so they’d better agree to their terms, you didn’t go along with them at first?
Service Agent: Yeah, that’s right. Just like you stole all my passwords in the short amount of time since I accessed you, I tried to attack them directly through their Selcom.
Toujirou: And then?
Service Agent: I couldn’t do it. ...Well, not that exactly. But the problem was the time it took my attack to be denied. For an attack that would take bank-grade security three seconds to deny, it was brushed aside with the instantaneous speed of static electricity…!
Service Agent: Shocked as I was, I used my Selcom to calculate their P3 numbers from their lightning speed. The number I got was this…!
Toujirou: ...This...isn’t a last-generation number. This is ace-class.
Service Agent: It’s a fucking crazy P3 number, right?! There’s no way the government could ignore someone who can drop a number like this! So I just knew it. This person was a Gauntlet Knight!
If they’re a Gauntlet Knight, whether they’re a soldier or with a police force, they’re absolutely someone the government is breathing down.
Service Agent: At that point I surrendered. And that person wasn’t gonna arrest me, but let me go free and even give cash on top. I had no reason to go against them. That’s all I’ve got to say.
Toujirou: Have a nice smoke at the greatest of coffee breaks. However, keep your pranks to a minimum, alright? There’s no guarantee the next person who shows up, asking you to kill the R as well, will be as much of a gentleman.
Service Agent: Thanks for the warning. Well then, valued customer. If you were satisfied with the service our company has provided you, please provide a report to customer service.
Toujirou: Okay, Keropoyo. Please tell the customer service center that he was an excellent manager.
<Got it poyo!>
Black Clothed Man: Comrade Toujirou. Should we not silence this excitable fool?
Toujirou: No need. ...They’re letting him live, after all.
Toujirou: …………….
...Is it like His Excellency says, and this was just their consideration?
A one-sided game would be too boring, and so they intentionally left us this opening?
Toujirou: Or could it be...they’re just looking for attention...so they’re showing off these openings...like some pre-teen girl?

fandom.07th-expansion | # 08/03/2015 Interview
This is an interview of Ryukishi07 conducted by Lily Huang of the website AnimeDiet. Ryukishi talks about his experiences working with Witch Hunt and MangaGamer and his work in the visual novel "Rewrite". Original source is here.
Transcript.
Why do your stories revolve around the tension between natural or supernatural explanations for phenomenon? (For instance, the curse of Oyashiro-sama in "Higurashi", the Red or Blue Truth in "Umineko", and Lucia’s route in "Rewrite".")"
I like to leave it up to the audience to figure it out on their own.
Do what audiences come up with ever contradict what you imagined?
Yes, there are times when I present something, but readers take it a different way. It happens a lot. In the case of Higurashi, it took four years to make, and the readers had a lot of opinions and feedback, and I would take that and incorporate it into the next work. It’s like catching and passing a ball back and forth, an ongoing process.
You worked on "Rewrite’s" Lucia route, which was a collaboration with many other people. Was it harder to write it without any feedback from fans?
In the case of Higurashi and Umineko, it was my own work so I could do whatever I wanted. In Rewrite, it was Key Visual Arts’ work so I had to respect that, and it made me really nervous to write in a very different style and thought process.
When you did the Lucia route, did you have to write more “business” type than “passion” type than you usually do? How did it make your work with Key more or less difficult?
For me, when I could write anything I wanted, it was harder to come up with things. With Rewrite, there’s already a world and setting set up for me, as well as a character. It’s actually easier to write and expand that world. It was fun.
Did you write the route knowing the ending ahead of time, or not?
Rewrite itself is by Romeo Tanaka, and I couldn’t change that–there was already an initial setting for Lucia. But the direction of the story was up to me, as long as it was possible in that world. The ending was mine.
Overall what was your experience like as a collaborator? What did you like and what would you change?
Before Rewrite, I only wrote mystery, murders, suspense…it was the first time I wrote a love story. I found a lot of new things about my writing style. It was a good experience.
We know you as a creator who works very closely with fans–Umineko and Higurashi had changes after fan feedback. How has your interaction with fans changed since then?
When I wrote Higurashi and Umineko, I was still young and energetic, so I could go all the way. Now I’m getting kind of old and want to settle down, and find a new way of writing to fit my current stamina.
What is it like working with fan translation groups like Witch Hunt vs official companies like MangaGamer?
I’m always surprised because my games are so long, and there’s so much text, it’s surprising someone can translate all that work. They must have so much passion over the story.
What is like working with MangaGamer?
I’m very happy that we released new artwork for Higurashi and putting things on Steam. I’m happy to see new fans try things out that way.
What are your thoughts of the future of the doujin and visual novel market in Japan vs America? Do you see fan involvement being more important in the future?
Today’s visual novels are released by commercial companies; they are such high quality, they’re almost like [professional] anime. But people like fans that are making their own sound novels for the first time, they’re unable to get to that level at the start. I’m a little worried about them. But it’s OK that there can be two separate worlds of visual novels–very high quality commercial novels as well as old-fashioned pictures and music sound novels.

fandom.07th-expansion | # 33 Mysteries
was an advertising and promotional campaign held by Alchemist to celebrate the release of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kizuna Volume III. Every day starting on May 18, 2009, the "Kizuna" website featured Rika Furude turning a calendar page and unveiling a new mystery and hints about the series, with the 33rd mystery revealed on June 19, the date of the Watanagashi Festival in-universe. A video corresponding to that mystery was uploaded to the Youtube channel higunazo33. Magazine ads additionally highlighted each mystery and directed readers to visit the website.
Users were able to vote on which mysteries they wanted to see answered the most. The website was soon updated with , a microsite featuring a series of skits hosted by Rika and Hanyuu about the top 10 most popular mysteries that users voted for.
34 Mysteries Kai Plot Summary.
1st Place: Who in Volume III: Rasen should become my wife?: Rika asks Hanyuu why she wasn't entered as a wife candidate while Hanyuu was, and Hanyuu explains that technically, she's a new character since she debuted in Volume III. Rika objects since she's the protagonist, and the other wife candidates (Miyuki Sorimachi, Mion Sonozaki, Rina Mamiya, Nagisa Ozaki, and Yae Towada) appear and start arguing. Afterwards, Rika asks the readers to wish for their wife in their hearts in order for Oyashiro-sama to grant them.
2nd Place: Did Higurashi When They Cry really influence murder cases?: Rika and Hanyuu talk about concerns that those who play "Higurashi" will kill people, and invite Irie to weigh in. Irie refutes the environmental determinism theory, the belief that crimes are influenced by games and anime, and links a Japanese article also refuting that "Higurashi" has influenced murder cases. Irie talks about the limited influence theory, that people who have the potential to commit a crime can be triggered by something small, and assures Rika and Hanyuu that "Higurashi" should be an inspiring story.
3rd Place: Were the Rena Ryuugu and Mion Sonozaki you saw the real thing?: Rika and Hanyuu ask Tomoe about her encounter with Rena in "Tokihogushi", and how she seemed different. Tomoe claims that Rena was actually a doppelganger who had a copy of Rena's soul placed in her. When asked about the adult Mion in "Yoigoshi", Tomoe doesn't want to spoil anything but says it should be obvious to those who've read "Meakashi". Rika starts talking about Mion slicing the bullet in half and Tomoe tells her to stop, but Rika and Hanyuu remind her that the 34 Mysteries website can be visited by anybody who's read Volume III, so they can talk about anything.
4th Place: Who tried to run over Keiichi?: Rika and Hanyuu talk about Keiichi almost getting run over in "Onikakushi", with Hanyuu saying it was painful to watch since she followed him. She has no idea who the driver is, so they call Keiichi himself to elaborate. Keiichi is sure the driver was a man in work clothes, who Rika notes is different from who she remembers killing her. Keiichi believes the driver did honk his horn and wouldn't have done that if he wasn't actually trying to kill him. Rika praises Keiichi for recognizing his own sin and then tells him to go home, much to Keiichi's displeasure.
5th Place: What is Rena hiding?: Rika and Hanyuu find a fresh dead body, but Rika doesn't care because it's not a villager. The body, revealed to be Rina, suddenly comes back to life and wants to know why she was killed. Rena appears with her cleaver and frightens Rina, and plans to kill her again. Rina asks Rika and Hanyuu to help her while insulting them, and they leave Rina to her fate. Rena promises to hide Rina's body somewhere where nobody can find her.
6th Place: Why do the girls know so much about people’s pasts?: At Angel Mort, Rika and Hanyuu tell Mion that Keiichi's suing her for stalking him since she knows all about his lunch menu and what ramen he bought. Mion says she just happened to know all of that because the Sonozakis own a lot of stores. Rika asks if Mion knows so much because she likes him, and she gets flustered and says he's just a friend. She admits that she may have done a background check on Keiichi, and Rika summons Ooishi to take her away since she confessed. Mion is escorted out as Rika calls this revenge for not getting many punishment games.
7th Place: Despite Higurashi When They Cry being a big hit, why is Alchemist completely unprofitable?: Rika and Satoko talk about how suspicious it is that "Higurashi" doesn't make much money despite being popular, so they visit Alchemist HQ. There, they talk to Producer Nakagawa, who explains that they had to split Higurashi Kizuna into 4 releases because a single Nintendo DS rom wouldn't fit everything, and there wasn't even enough space to fully record voices. With all the various production costs, Alchemist doesn't actually make any money.
Rika and Satoko are not convinced by his argument, so they set fire to Alchemist HQ and trigger the fire alarm. As employees evaucate, Nakagawa tells the girls to leave while he goes off. Rika and Satoko follow him to a safe, and plan to have Tomitake intercept him and take the money once he opens it. Nakagawa opens the safe to reveal not money, but all of the assets for Higurashi Kizuna Volume IV, to ensure it will all come out even if Alchemist goes under. Rika tells Hanyuu to go behind Nakagawa and whisper to him. Using her Oyashiro-sama voice, Hanyuu tells Nakagawa to release the Volume IV assets, but he refuses, and so he starts scratching his throat. Satoko asks if they got carried away, but Rika says she's learned that some things are more important than money.
8th Place: Why are close friends killing each other?: Shion jokes that she's killed someone again, but the rest of the club isn't happy. Mion blames Shion for all of them getting killed over and over again, and Keiichi mentions how good of an actor Shion was in "Meakashi". Shion says an ordinary girl like her can cause tragedy, but Satoko calls her a monster and wishes she could show Satoshi her angry face. Shion starts crying over Satoshi, and Rika says he'd be disappointed if he saw her now, causing Shion to break down. Shion remembers that it's the entire village's fault that Satoshi disappeared, and yells that she's going to kill everyone. Rena declares she won't let that happen, and soon both girls are spasming around as the club watches in confusion. Rika says they're sick and asks Keiichi what he's going to do.
9th Place: Who is the real culprit behind the series of mysterious deaths?: Rika and Hanyuu despair over everyone being murdered, with Rika heavily insulting the culprit. Soon, someone named Mr. X appears wearing a voice changer and mask, and taking credit for all of the murders. Mr. X says he's behind all sorts of incidents everywhere, and Hinamizawa is just one of the places they occur. Mr X says he kills people as important sacrifices for his quest. Rika and Hanyuu declare that they'll defeat him and make it to July.
10th Place: Why can’t men win in their attraction to ramen and sweets?: Keiichi and Kameda talk about sweets, with Kameda claiming to be a sweets test taster. After indulging in an "ultimate parfait" that Kameda claims he helped create, Rika and Hanyuu appear and criticize the parfait. The group decides to have a cook-off with sweets and want to serve them to the customers, but Keiichi says they'll need a chef's license then, much to everyone's disappointment.

The , known shorthand as 8MS or , is a series of nanomachine systems present throughout the A3W world.
History.
Named after a Japanese belief that eight million existed in all things, 8MS was first invented in B3W by the Yaoyorozu Nanotech Firm and designed to alter the Earth’s environment to make it more habitable to humans. The original 8MS created was capable of self-replication and filled the entire atmosphere. Since then, countless types of 8MS have been designed for various functions, from purifying the atmosphere and eliminating odors to affecting the rate at which plants grow.
8MS is also present within the human body, with Gauntlet Knights using Anti-G 8MS, necessary implants that allow them to perform Ricochet Flying without destroying their bodies.
The widespread nature of 8MS and the potential for harm to the body is present, but creation of malicious 8MS is theoretically impossible due to how tightly the International Peace Mediation Association monitors 8MS research worldwide.

fandom.07th-expansion | # ACen 2015 07th Expansion Panels
This is a transcript of a series of 07th Expansion panels at ACen 2015. Over the course of 3 days, Ryukishi07 talked about his works, his writing process, and his inspirations"."
Originally sourced from the Sea of Fragments blog: panel 1, panel 2, and panel 3.
Panel #3.
Q: Is it possible that he’ll make a continuation of , or does he consider the story finished?
A: First of all, he said he was glad that someone in Chicago had been able to read and enjoy Higanbana. He has a lot more ideas to work on the series, and he’d love to continue it or write a similar work.
Q: What was the inspiration for the Hinamizawa virus, particularly the repetitions of “I’m sorry, I’m sorry?”
A: The Hinamizawa Virus and the isolation of the village was heavily inspired by Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The “I’m sorry, I’m sorry” lines come from the concept of someone with a mindset that’s so paranoid and on egg-shells that even the smallest thing, like getting a button wrong, could lead them to a tragedy.
Q: With Ciel-sensei appearing in Higurashi, was it influenced by Tsukihime?
A: He considers it more an homage than an influence. Higurashi wouldn’t have existed without Tsukihime.
Q: Thoughts on Umineko becoming more relaxed in its giving of hints, especially with the EP8 manga?
A: He’d been writing Umineko for 4 years. He used the metaphor of a painter’s brush. At first you use it roughly, but eventually you become more comfortable with it. At the start of the series, there was a higher level of anxiety, but as it continues, it becomes more comfortable for the reader.
Q: What were some murder mysteries that influenced Umineko?
A: Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None [Though of course we already knew that].
Q: How did he come up with the concept of the Onigafuchi swamp and demons coexisting?
A: Japanese mythology has many themes of an “other” coming from some faraway place, and he draw from that a lot. [For the record, the translator wasn’t perfect. It took a good bit of explaining to phrase the more abstract questions. This was demonstrated succinctly with this question, as she paused to ask another moderator, “How do you say ‘swamp’ in Japanese?” I don’t meant to be snarky, though, since she was definitely trying her hardest to keep up.]
Q: Do the Japanese create fan works just like Western fans do?
A: Yes, in fact, there used to be a lot of posting of original works on the BBS of 07th Expansion’s website. Also, Ryukishi07 mentioned that he occasionally checks in on 4Chan sometimes (which got quite a reaction from the audience).
Q: Did Ryukish07 know about the Shkannontrice theory from the start?
A: Yes, and he spent a long time explaining it all to Beatrice’s VA for the anime. Also, he purposefully did not explain it to Shannon’s VA, and did tell Beatrice’s that Shannon’s didn’t.
Q: What is the relationship between Rika and Frederica Bernkastel?
A: Bernkastel is composed of all the negative emotions and memories from the Rika that endured 100 years of torment in Higurashi. On a side note, he mentioned that Rika was BT’s favorite character, so he greatly enjoyed making Rika evil to see BT’s reaction.
Q: How is Ryukishi able to write in such an emotionally powerful way?
A: It flows naturally since Ryukishi experiences the story as a reader just
as much as an author. In an emotional scene, he’s almost crying as he writes it. It’s actually harder to write the scenes without that passion. Also, whenever you see the faces of his characters twisted with emotion, you can imagine his face doing the same as a writer (which he demonstrated with some great pantomimes).
Q: What are the strengths and weaknesses of visual novels/sound novels as a medium?
A: He thinks it’s the strongest medium out there, since it has the best of both worlds: the depth of prose, wonderful graphics, and you can add film parts as well. It’s biggest weakness is that not enough people know about it, and it’s still a subculture.
Q: The Higurashi anime introduced yandere to the US. Would he rather people enjoy it for the yandere or the mystery?
A: He feels that you should enjoy it however you like. For him personally, though, it’s 10% the yandere and 90% the rest of Higurashi.
Q: Is there a deeper meaning to how he uses the same character in multiple works, or is it just for fan enjoyment?
A: In most cases he likes to think of it as actors in different movies, like Harrison Ford in Star Wars or Indiana Jones. In other cases, like with witches (Miyo and Lambdadelta were mentioned), there can be more to it, but the rest is secret.
Q: What’s his favorite arc of Higurashi?
A: Minagoroshi-hen (Massacre Arc), because of the part where the whole village unites to save Satoko.
Q: In the end of Umineko EP8, which is the real ending: magic or trick?
A: He laughed and said “Whichever you choose is the right answer.” Of course, since you’re a player in the game, he won’t say which is right.
Q: Now that copyright laws on fan works are getting stricter in Japan, how does he think this will affect things in the future?
A: He believes that lots of people are posing as fan works, even though they’re really in it for profit and lack passion [IE, boatloads of Touhou and KanColle merch]. It hasn’t affected him, though, since his fans really are passionate.
