Praise be to EVA-Beatrice!!

EVA. Frankly, I kind of wrote her into this mess. It would be a dirty move to abandon her now and support another witch. With her confidence, ingenuity, and creativity, she is fit to become the Golden Witch.

"Naturally! Kyahaha, praise me more!" EVA shouted, spreading her arms like she'd already won. "And you know what, rejected Predecessor? I happen to be preeetty good at the sexy stuff when the cards are down! You can go ahead and pack your bags, so long as you leave that gold of yours where it is, loser!"

"Tch! I cannot believe... you are going to try to make Ushiromiya Battler acknowledge you as a witch. I can't believe..." the former Beatrice muttered in frustration...

... Before breaking into a huge, unattractive grin. "You actually feeeeell for that, mooooroooon!! Do you know how long I've been trying to get Battler to submit, admit witches are real, and acknowledge me as a true witch? Far longer than your miserable time on the board, I'll tell you! So, so easily, you have been tricked into playing from a losing position already set up on the chessboard! I suppose this is the difference between a rookie and someone who's lived thousands of years... Keheheheh, gyaaaaaahahahahaha!! The difference between the Golden Witch, and Ushiromiya Eva's crappy, unaccomplished, unrealized little daydream!!"

EVA cut her off, pointing her staff with the symbol of the One-Winged Eagle at her Predecessor's face with a dark grin of her own. "That's enough yapping out of the loser. Soon, you won't even exist. Why don't you just give up and die?!"

Now, now. That's enough arguing. Per the rules, I will begin the game in a moment. EVA... Let's see if you're as good when the cards are down as you say. I'm looking forward to seeing your reaction to our game.

"Stop yapping and get on with it, Pervy Uncle."

... How charming. I made the right choice.
