Let's Play Umineko Chiru, Episode 5 ????: The Apotheosis

[prof]

<< | ^^ | >>




Beatrice isn't here, but that doesn't matter. Don't stop thinking.





...Yeah, that's it. The 1st. The culprit has to be one of the people mentioned in the early part of the story.



More and more characters showed up in each game. Battler began to get lost in the idea that maybe the true mastermind hadn't shown up yet.

That may be true if you read the tale as a fantasy, but if you read it as a mystery, it isn't permitted.



Forget about the Devil's Proof for now. Follow the Decalogue instead.



Knox's 2nd?
Allow me to speak. Knox's 2nd. It is forbidden for supernatural agencies to be employed as a detective technique.
So... if this is a fair battle... does that mean that, like the detective, the culprit also isn't allowed to use magic?
Allow me to speak. Know that the interpretation is up to you.
Sure. I'll interpret it my way.



BGM: F Style



Someone wrote this story. This tale is part of a world which is filtered through the perceptions of whoever wrote that tale.

The writer wasn't God. It was a human.



There's no reason to blindly accept anything told in this story. However, if you believe that completely, solving the tale is impossible again, because nothing can be trusted.



Solving this story is impossible unless you venture forth and trust that Beatrice made her tale solvable. The reader, like the lover, must take a leap of faith.



Beato wanted Battler to solve the game, so she made it solvable.



All this time, Beatrice has wanted nothing other than for Battler to uncover the truth of this tale.



Allow me to speak. Knox's 8th. It is forbidden for the case to be resolved with clues that are not presented.
Allow me to speak. Knox's 6th. It is forbidden for accident or intuition to be employed as a detective technique.



It's not from the Decalogue, but Erika said that every mystery has three riddles.



Beato has been watching Battler in each game. After the second game, Battler almost fell apart, so she became worried.



Virgilia and Ronove appeared to help Battler. The Braun Tube Trial was explained. It was all to make the showdown at the end of the 4th game possible.



Battler almost should have thanked Bernkastel and Lambdadelta for one thing: Resuming the game for the 5th round. So long as the game continues, the truth can be found within it.



Please. Allow me to speak.
What is it?



BGM: Dir

Know that for reasoning to be possible, a trusting relationship is required.
...Yeah... I know. In fact, maybe I finally noticed it just now.





Battler falls into the sea of Fragments.









Vergilius guided Dante to Mount Purgatory, and brought him below the feet of the lady who waited at the top.

Her name was Beatrice.



BGM: Promise







Battler awakens from the abyss of death.



Like a sand castle in the rising tide, Beatrice's form evaporates. All that remains is ash.



Battler reached the truth.

However, he wasn't able to reach it while Beato was still a part of this world.













Idiot... Idiot... Your riddles... are too twisted...! Why couldn't... you say it... more simply...? Idiooooot! Gaaaaaaaaaaaggghhh!



The clock strikes midnight.

The time limit is over.



Beatrice bet everything on the power of a miracle.

That miracle bore fruit, even if it was too late for her to taste it.



As Battler tries to escape from the massive sword pinning him in place, he notices something glinting on his hand.



Battler presses the golden fragment of truth against his bloodstained chest.

At this point, somebody understands her. He's found the heart of this story.





BGM: Justice



The red sword transforms into a golden sword.



Battler's will to live and will to fight return.

The golden sword pulls itself out of Battler's chest, recognizing its new master.



This sure is an elaborate act. Is this one of your tricks, Lambda?
Th... That glow... it couldn't be...



Sorry, retrials will not be permitted. Siesta sisters, eliminate this resurrection illusion.
Understood. 45, 410, firing permission granted.
I... It's unable to target! IFF error, code 999!
Eeeek!
999, you say... impossible...!
Lambda. What kind of farce is this? The Illusion of the Witch has been completely destroyed, and the trial ended with our victory.
...Sorry, Bern. You'll have to stick around a little longer. Isn't that right, Ushiromiya Battler?
...Yeah. Sorry to keep you waiting, Erika, Bernkastel. Now, it's time for my truth...



O-Objection. The trial has already been concluded and the results have even been announced!
Objection overruled! All verdicts are overshadowed by new truths!
Objection! Not only has Battler been banished as a player, he also doesn't hold the rank of witch! He isn't qualified to call for an appeal!



Wh... What did you say...? B... Battler got... the rank of a witch?!



Hmph... hehehehehehehehahahahahahahahaaaah! Looks like that kid's game really will keep us entertained until the very end! Sure, I'll play along! Erika, you handle this! The red truth you've created with me is perfect! The construction of truth which makes Natsuhi the culprit is perfect! Battler certainly won't be able to break it!
O-Of course, my master! There's no need to worry at all! Anyway, Siesta Sisters, my master ordered you to fire, right?! How long is it gonna take you to carry that order out?!
E-Error code 999! A-An access code is required to target the territory lord!
Nyeh. I told you he'd do it, nyeh.
Territory lord?! Who controls this fragment?! I do!
Territory lord... You don't mean...
Yes. Ushiromiya Battler has been authorized as the official territory lord of this Fragment!
Yes, that's right. So you still don't understand? You don't know what that gold sparkle signifies? He's reached it. He's made his way to the innermost depths of all truths!
...
That means Battler's understood everything about this world, this tale, this game. In other words, he's reached the position of the game's master. I'll bet you don't want to believe it, right, Bern?!
Yeah, I don't want to believe it! Okay, I'll test Battler to see whether he really understands everything! Erika!
Too bad, Erika. Just when you were finally appointed as the territory lord of this Fragment, you've been deprived of that title. The new territory lord of this Fragment is Ushiromiya Battler. Is it awful? Hey, hey, don't you feel just awful?! How's it feel to be deprived of that title just when you'd finally gotten it? How's it feel?!





A... A culprit other than Natsuhi?! Hah! How's that?! Dlanor! Let's see where this delusion of Battler's takes us!
