Genre discussions with the family. "Now that we have a detective stopping by to take shelter from the rain, we've got all the major factors lined up." [EP6] Form of a small crystal. Breathe on it to receive the memory.

When the conversation turned to a sophisticated discussion of the mystery genre, even the adults were drawn in.
She was apparently so well versed that even Nanjo, who had a vast knowledge of the subject, was impressed.
"Wahahaha, good point. A strange family in a western mansion on an isolated island during a storm. Now that we have a detective stopping by to take shelter from the rain, we've got all the major factors lined up."
"Have no fear. No matter how difficult the crime, I will solve it. That's a detective's job."
"How reassuring. It almost sounds as though you want a bizarre crime to occur. I hope I don't have to play the part of the victim."
"Dear, don't be imprudent."
"Well, the history of the human mystery genre is only about a century old. Its tricks and ideas are limited to a few recycled patterns, so there's nothing left to show. No matter what kind of impossible crimes or closed room murders might occur, it'll be nothing more than one of the same classes of tricks dressed up to look like something new."
"......The only reason mysteries still make for popular books today is because self-proclaimed 'fans'--those who work off pieced-together knowledge and who have hardly read any of the classics--mistakenly think that a classic trick they didn't know about, through lack of proper study, is actually something new and surprising."
Everyone couldn't help but gape at this imposing claim...

If an aged critic had said it, that would have been one thing.
......But to think that a young person like this could say it so boldly...
"Mystery is a genre that ended a half century ago. At least as far as I'm concerned. ......However, thanks to the countless ignorant fools, I get to play my part as detective. *giggle*giggle*giggle*giggle*...!"
"By that argument, wouldn't it mean that romance was perfected back in Shakespeare's time, so everything after that isn't worth reading?"
"Exactly. So, if you just read Romeo and Juliet, it's the same as having understood all of romance."
"That's ridiculous. .........It's not like there's any need to read more books than everyone else just for its own sake, but on the other hand, you can't be so satisfied with just a few stories like that. ......Just reading classics of the past and never anything new is being overly nostalgic, don't you think? That sounds to me like the excuse of an old person who's too lazy to read anything."
"..................That's right. I don't read as much as you, so I get the feeling you'd beat me in an argument."
"Me? Haha, I don't read books."
"............"
Battler chuckled, ......but Erika knew from the previous game that 'Battler' was actually quite an avid reader.

So, his words felt like more of a challenge.
