prof | Let's Play Umineko Chiru, Episode 8 Scene 28: The Witch's Duel

<< | ^^ | >>

A cat leaps in to make a frantic report.

Bernkastel immediately makes another call on an internal line. Nobody picks up.

BGM: Worldend Dominator

A galaxy of cats roar with delight.

Lambda panics, dragging Battler and Ange behind a bookshelf to hide.

An uncountable horde of Bernk's cats methodically pour over every corner of the shelves as they pass by. There's no way to hide.

Ange has faith that Eva must have dealt with the guards ahead by now. If they can rush ahead and grab the key, they can at least delay the book being opened for now.

Maybe they can use it as a bargaining chip somehow. It's a billion to one chance, but it's still better than being found while they hide here.

Eva doesn't seem to have touched it, either.

If Lambdadelta surrenders now, she can get off with a few hundred years of punishment. Nobody would blame her if she backed out now.

Bern is like a cat. If she has one piece of pray that isn't trying to escape, she'll ignore anyone else.

Both Battler and Ange insist on being the sacrifice. Since they can't come to an agreement, rock paper scissors it is.

All three throw. Lambda called Paper, but Ange and Battler both want to lose, so they both pick Rock.

But, things don't go quite as expected from there.

BGM: Future

Lambda didn't even have a reason to join in this game.

Lambdadelta conjures a Fragment, tossing it to Ange and Battler.

Looks like she was too much of a show-off to stick to being a spectator.

Lambdadelta uses her magic to turn Ange and Battler into candies, then throws them towards the key.

Green light fills the library.

BGM: Flight

Lambda starts the showdown with a bang, launching a wave of exploding, colorful candies. Each one explodes into even more candy.

Oh, if it isn't Lambda. I was hoping to meet you in the party hall.

I love you, Bern. Isn't whispering of our love all the better if we're alone?

I'll be happy to hear it, after I've plucked off all your limbs. This is my dearly beloved and only friend in the world. Her arms from the elbow down. Her legs from the knees down. You can chew those up however you please, but not a scratch anywhere else on her.

Ah, simply wonderful. I'm about to be overwhelmed by Bern's love!

I do love you, Lambda. Once our limbs are gone, I'll skewer you through your butt and hang you by my bed. Every morning, I'll give you a good morning kiss, and every evening, I'll kiss you goodnight.

Sounds great! Then, I'd better wrap you up in my love, too!

Yes, you are wonderful, Lambda. I love that empty-headed way you just do things without looking ahead or worrying about your own life... Wind...?

The explosion of sweets plays out again, this time in reverse. All of the candy collapses back on the closed mouth of the leviathan.

The black hole in Lambdadelta's hand sucks everything into a single point of annihilation.

Bernkastel uses all of her strength to hold her ground in the face of Lambda's spell. All condescension is gone from her face.

A massive comet slams into Bernkastel - a present surrounded by a cloud of candy.

The comet, the candy, and Bernkastel are all swallowed up by the black hole, which begins to spin and flatten, like a galaxy of sweets.

Sorry, Bern. I wanted to play with you always, so I've always taken it easy and pretended to be in a pinch.

There's no taste of Bern in the candy.

Ahh, I do love you, Lambdadelta. I'm happy... so happy...

Ahh, I do love you, Bernkastel. I'll turn you into candy and cuddle you with my tongue forever.

No matter who wins, our love will never fade. Ahahahahahahahahaha! That's wonderful, just wonderful!

Okay! Let's show our love right now!
