He remembers that, when he was a child he admired her and praised her openly and then he also remembers how she warned him against the weakness of chessboard thinking. Here instead he seems to be longing for Kyrie’s presence as he seems to seek for her support and this pushes him to remember what she told him about chessboard thinking, as if the memory itself was Kyrie’s way of supporting him. He was thinking at the chessboard thinking and, since he couldn’t make it work, he thought at Kyrie, who taught him such way of thinking and remembered his explanation about its weakness. In the VN he seemed to remember about Kyrie out of logical connections. Here the whole thing is a little more ‘emotional’. Kyrie comes to his mind and he realizes he’d like for her to be there, with him. He’s then tempted to suspect about Natsuhi, then he starts wondering if it’s a good idea to leave the parlour in favour of the study and then his confused state is well expressed by the graphic that shows him curled up in between various chessboards. It’s interesting how the visual shows him holding his heart as this though came to him, as if it hurts. Battler handles the narrative, explaining the whole ‘why they got canned food’… and, while they’re walking he realizes that, if the culprit is not a witch, he should be one of them. The group starts walking toward Kinzo’s study after they got canned food (and is having Kumasawa, the weakest of the team carrying it? Okay, she’s a servant, but still…). The manga decides to have Battler exposing his reasoning out loud instead than making it an introspective thing like in the VN and Maria watches him as he does so, with an interesting expression that makes her rather suspicious.

Jessica is more strongly against this plan and more pro getting her revenge than in the VN but Natsuhi holds her back. At first it seems that there’s no place that’s save then Genji suggests Kinzo’s study. Then we go back to following the VN and after Jessica blowing at Maria, we can see Maria looking scared when Natsuhi reproached/threatened her.īattler then suggests they should confine themselves somewhere safe and the team wonders where since the culprit probably has a master key. Then the manga goes back on following the VN for the scene in which George question Maria, although Maria, more than just creepy seems… as if she’s having a hallucination as she talks of the Golden Land.īattler taps her gently on the head and more or less tries to speak gently to her but when he tells her to stop pushing her dreamy words onto others he looks quite severe and angry. To be honest this works much better than having Jessica escaping from Genji’s hold.

Jessica then won’t have a chance to free herself as Natsuhi will slap her.

Only at this point Genji will manage to grab Jessica and part her from Maria. … and that, in the manga, Jessica won’t be stopped by Genji as she’ll attempt to grab Maria, and so she’ll manage to grab her quite roughly, increasing the impact of the scene. However, after that scene, the manga tried to follow the VN and the VN had Jessica sitting down.Īnyway, as I was saying, the manga now follows the VN with, as only notable difference, how George in the manga won’t try to comfort Jessica or silence her but will stop Battler from offering some support to Jessica… I think the problem was that Jessica asking Battler if he’d caught the culprit was a manga addition to replace the long narrative that was in the VN and they had Jessica stand and then cry for better emotional impact. Of course it’s possible she sat down again but… it doesn’t work so well.

The problem is the following scene, which return on having Jessica sit on the floor as if she hadn’t moved from there, when she was shown standing when Battler asked her about Kanon. In short it’s theoretically a good change. It can work… since Jessica is shown outside the room it can be she was told to wait there and therefore never had to see Kanon faking being dead. Battler overheard Nanjo telling to Natsuhi he couldn’t save him and looks quite depressed at the news. He then asks about Kanon and Jessica starts sobbing. Jessica stands and asks Battler about the criminal and he is forced to admit he couldn’t catch it.
