Dignified introduction. [EP5] Form of a wood sorrel flower. 3/5 petals remaining.

CUTTING OUT A BUNCH OF META STUFF THAT ERIKA IS NOT AWARE OF since this is a game board-only memory. I'll attribute dialog later if I feel like it but most of it is pretty obvious.

Eva stood up and made a phone call to the guesthouse.
At that moment, they heard the sound of a knock, followed by Genji's voice.
"......It is Genji. The guest has arrived..."

At those words, everyone fell into silence, and the people who had been sitting stood up straight.
Genji came in first, opening the door slowly, .........then moved off to the side, bowing deeply and urging the guest forwards.
The guest had Shannon and Kumasawa following by her side, ......and though she looked at the large amount of relatives waiting for her in the parlor, she didn't seem overawed in the slightest.
Just this single point...showed that this girl possessed a dignity appropriate for a guest invited in by the Ushiromiya family...
"......Furudo-sama, allow me to introduce you. This is the representative of the Ushiromiya family head, Ushiromiya Krauss."
"Welcome to Rokkenjima. Though you arrived due to an accident, you are a guest of the family. We welcome you. Please, make yourself at home and relax however you please."
".........Thank you very much. ...Allow me to introduce myself. ......I am called Furudo Erika (古戸ヱリカ). My deepest apologies for disturbing you members of the Ushiromiya family like this. ......I am truly grateful for the warm welcome I have received despite my status as an uninvited guest."
......There was a general sigh of acceptance.

The clothes she had been lent were probably Jessica's formal wear from long ago, ......but the composure of her introduction gave the impression of a dignity by no means inferior to the clothes she wore...
The girl's name was Furudo Erika.

She looked slightly younger than Battler and Jessica, but her composure and mannerisms were beyond what anyone would have expected from a high-schooler, almost as though she was a well-to-do family's daughter...
[...]
At that time, the loud sound of people running through the corridor could be heard.
It was Battler, George, and Jessica, who had come from the guesthouse after being called here by Eva.
They immediately spotted a guest they didn't recognize, and their eyes went wide.
"......Whoa.........Wh, who are you.........?"
"Uu-. Guest. She came by fa-ll fa-lling."
"Huh? Fall, fall...??"
"...Genji-san. Who is this person...?"
"This is a guest, Furudo Erika-sama. ......Furudo-sama, this is the daughter of the family, Jessica-sama, along with her cousins George-sama and Battler-sama."
"Umm, oh, ......n, nice to meet you. I'm Ushiromiya Jessica..."
"............Hello. My name is Furudo Erika. I am very pleased to meet you......"

Though Battler, George, and Jessica didn't have a clue what was going on and were utterly bewildered, they each introduced themselves...
[...]
"Well, all of us are Ushiromiyas. Please don't feel obligated to call us by our family name. I'm George."
"I'm Battler. Nice to meet you!"
"......Thank you very much, George-san, Battler-san. ......I'd be pleased if you would call me Erika."
"Nice to meet you, Erika-san...!"
It was decided that Erika would be welcomed like a guest and allowed to borrow the bedroom next to the cousins' room on the second floor of the guesthouse.
In front of all the relatives, she had seemed dignified and a bit stiff.
However, as she talked with George and Jessica, her expression began to soften gradually......

――And so, the 'detective' Furudo Erika was placed on the game board......

Notes/Effects:
- She meets all the members of the family here!
- Slight inclination towards being more polite when meeting new people... she still doesn't have her manners skill back though.
