Let's Play Umineko Chiru, Episode 5 Scene 17: The High Inquisitor
<< | ^^ | >>
Dlanor A. Knox
A member of Eiserne Jungfrau, the 7th District Repentance Enforcement Agency of the Great Court of Heaven. The Head Inquisitor of Heresy and a first-class archbishop. She is commonly known as "Dlanor of the Ten Wedges" or "Death Sentence Dlanor".
She gets the name "Death Sentence" because, though Inquisitors of Heresy normally judge their targets to see whether they deserve the death penalty or not, Dlanor, as the Head Inquisitor, is only dispatched after a case has been vigorously inspected by the Great Court. Therefore, the very act of dispatching her is equivalent to a death sentence.
Her father was a legendary Inquisitor of Heresy, but he broke the rules and was executed. She was the one who interrogated and executed him. Since that time, she has stopped growing, and both her body and mind remain eternally those of a young girl. It is whispered that her heart also died at that moment, but she does not see it that way.
Her primary weapons are the Red Key and the Blue Key, which take the form of a long sword and a short sword.
I'm not done yet. I was just testing a few moves just now, just trying to measure your abilities.
How foolish. Know your place, Golden Witch.
Lady Beatrice...
BGM: Proud Dust
...HMM. Let it be known that Beatrice has changed her pattern of attack.
What's going on? Why did Lady Beatrice acknowledge the closed room when she's trying to destroy it, nyeh?
Sh-She's probably trying to claim that Kinzo existed outside of this room. Confirmation that Great Lady Beatrice's warp portal has reactivated!
You sure are slow. Top of the foot, all miiine!
Natsuhi used the internal phone line in this study to speak with Kinzo, who was in another place! There's nothing strange about Kinzo, who hates the relatives, predicting that they would enter his study and leaving to go elsewhere. He might have gone to the hidden mansion, Kuwadorian!
Not bad, that makes sense, nyeh! Blue truth, effective.
Asmodeus's blue wedge pins Dlanor in place. Beatrice can carry Kinzo as far as Kuwadorian now!
We've stopped you from moving. You've already lost!
...Interesting. Is that ALL?
You don't call it a full course dinner if you stop at the soups and hors d'oeuvres! I'll hit you with the main dish and the dessert all at once, so watch your stomach explode and die!
Even if, as you say, this is a closed room and impossible to escape from, you can't deny the possibility that he is still hiding in this room. I'm not talking about a hidden door! He might be under the bed or above the ceiling! He might be hiding in a truly unobtrusive blind spot that only demons know of, right?! Or it might be that Natsuhi, who was ordered to speak specially on Kinzo's behalf, considered herself both his representative and another Kinzo! In other words, it's possible that Natsuhi was also Kinzo!
I've got plenty more! At 23:00 last night, Kinzo escaped out the window! Natsuhi watched him go, then locked the window! This doesn't lead to any problems. In fact, it might be the most beautiful blue truth yet! How's that, Dlanor A. Knox?! Hyahahahahaaaaahhh There are many ways to escape from this closed room!
Know your foolishness in trying to oppose my master!
There's no need for you to argue back.
Just lose and sleep for all eternity!
Aaaah, Beatrice! What about my turn?!
I'll use you if I think of any more. Be quiet for now! How's that, Dlanor the witch hunter?! After skewering and burning so many witches in the past, how does it feel to be skewered by a witch?! Hehhihhahhahahahahaaaahahahahahahahaa! Hyuu, wiches sure are scary... you can't beat twisted logic, nyeh. They don't violate the Knox Decalogue... Effective! ...
Against a normal opponent, I'd think the matter settled by now... but this is Dlanor, Head Inquisitor of Heresy! This ruthless woman killed even her father when he violated the Decalogue! Kinzo, now!
Right!
Wh... What do you think, everyone?! No matter how much you question the state of this study, you can't question whether or not father is in good health!
Oh, so you say. Both you and I had better not forget that we are part of this battle, right? I cannot fight against witches, but I can fight against you.
BGM: Totem Blume
Erika goes a step further: She asks Natsuhi if the Kinzo she spoke to was the same one that everyone else knows about.
Natsuhi confirms Erika's claim. She spoke to the real, authentic Ushiromiya Kinzo.
So, she should be able to repeat Erika's words.
Next question: Did Natsuhi throw Kinzo out the window?
The blue wedges representing a telephone discussion and the study being called Kinzo shatter.
The blue wedges representing Natsuhi being Kinzo and Kinzo escaping through the window shatter.
Only one wedge continues to obstruct Dlanor: The wedge stating that Kinzo is still hiding in this room!
Gghhh... B-Beatrice! Quickly... escape while you still can!
All that remains... is this one WEDGE. It was about Kinzo hiding somewhere in this room, CORRECT?
As the detective, I've searched all those places. If I didn't find him, just where could he be hiding?
Allow me to ASK. Just where in this study is Kinzo HIDING? Heheh, well then... Maybe he's under the bed?
A check of that place has been FINISHED.
Maybe he's in the bathtub! A check of that place has been FINISHED.
Inside the closet! Under the desk! Behind the curtains!
A check of that place has been FINISHED. Check FINISHED. Check FINISHED.
Hahahahhaahahahahahahahaa! Witches are so pathetic. You just try to talk your way out of things endlessly, trying to confuse the truth. Let me borrow Dlanor's words: I'm disappointed, Beatrice. Hehehehehehe! Guh... gghhh...
Detective's authority. The detective has the right to inspect all crime scenes. I have exercised this right. Therefore, I can say this.
The final wedge shatters. Beatrice's portal shatters.
Nobody can escape from this room any more.
S-Sorry, Kinzo... Looks like... this opponent was really tough after all...
Beatrice, I thank you. You've done so much for me despite your remaining grudge. I guess it's true that your life flashes by when you see death coming. I've remembered how you once looked when you were young. You were annoyingly like Battler. I now pass on everything, my soul and the qualifications of the head, to Battler. I no longer have any regrets!
But that's impossible, right? Battler is a piece, he can't see things in this higher plane...
Battler's face shows only frustration and anger.
He can't let Erika toy with Natsuhi like this.
I probably could have done it, back in the day... and Battler can probably do it. Battler... Battler... If you are indeed the man who will inherit everything from me... now is the time to prove it! Don't let the Legend of the Golden Witch end here!
Erika claims that this lie has already been exposed. Why not give up and confess?
After all, culprits who refuse to confess even after the evidence is all laid out are a hallmark of third-rate mysteries.
Battler finally speaks up, looking straight at Erika.
