prof | Let's Play Umineko Chiru, Episode 6 Scene 15: The Trial of Lovers

<< | ^^ | >>

Furfur

One of the 72 Great Demons. Controls love and tests others through trials.

Furfur bestows endless, inexhaustible offensive power upon the contractor. This gives the contractor enough courage to fearlessly overcome any barriers to their love.

A "trainer" of love who teaches tame boys the taste of flesh.

Is of a different gender than Zepar.

BGM: Worldend Dominator

When George does take that first step, though, his foot sinks. The mud dragging him down is his mother's arrogance, trying to keep him from making that step.

In the Journey of the West, Buddha says he will grant the Monkey King's wish if he can jump free from the palm of his hand. Sun Wukong travels to the end of the world, and there, he finds five pillars.

The pillars were Buddha's fingers. After all his travels, he still hadn't escaped the palm of Buddha's hand.

Beneath George's feet, a vast red spiderweb covers the ground.

Come, George, try to remember. Aren't you taking piano lessons right now?

On Tuesday, piano lessons. On Wednesday, cram school. On Thursday, supplemental lessons.

EVA-Beatrice swings George around recklessly, smashing him into whatever happens to be in the way, again and again.

Friday was lessons together with his parents. Saturday was the tutoring. A child is nothing without their parents' guidance.

He is still unable to escape the palm of EVA's hand.

EVA has taken care of everything. All he needs to do is let her do what she wants, and his life will be perfect.

Geroge can't take that first step. He hasn't even been born.

It's not about Shannon, of course. She's a fine maid, and she helped George grow up a bit.

But shouldn't they leave it at that? An engagement is just so ill-advised at this juncture.

EVA offers one of her many British aphorisms as wisdom: To wrap a child in blessings is the greatest education of all.

He has another one to throw back at her.

What?

BGM: Dir

George stands up.

He jumps, faster than the web can follow, and smashes the spiderweb apart with a single flash of his heel.

It's about time, he says.

George closes the distance between them in the blink of an eye.

That's one more thing George can be thankful for learning from EVA. All those martial arts.

Unfortunately, he never learned Muay Thai - that one she kept for herself.

Aren't you a little old to be playing around like this, EVA?

George's final kick stops an inch from EVA's chest.

However, the power of the magic circle surrounding George extends further, piercing clean through her.

Without even enough time to experience pain, she dies.

George thanks her for not interfering. This was a battle between mother and son.

Eva is to be laid to rest in the VIP room.

Gaap can feel George's absolute power, and doesn't dare deny his request.

After the body disappears, another hole opens up, returning EVA's staff to the garden.

I... I can't believe... you attacked your own mother...

It's the person who loves you first in the world, and the last one you have to separate yourself from. That's what it means to leave your home. This is the courage I need to show to take Sayo as my wife.

George...

BGM: Kina no Kaori

Wonderful! Wasn't that splendid, Zepar?!

Indeed it was, Furfur! George's determination is the real deal! It seems I've misjudged you. Please accept my apologies!

For the pieces on the board, this is a brutal murder. For the versions of themselves here above the game board, it's a simple display of determination and moving of pieces.
