prof | Let's Play Umineko Chiru, Episode 6 Scene 28: The Impartial Judgement (Reply)

<< | ^^ | >>

It's the same technique he used to let Kinzo escape from the study in the last game. Distract the observation of the observer, and disappear into the darkness.

...Good. Yeah, I'm sure you aren't. I'd already foreseen that move.

BGM: Patchwork Chimera

Objection. Gohda severed the chain back when the crime was first discovered. Since the chain lock is not functioning, it is impossible to use it to create a seal.

Objection overruled. Erika repaired the chain lock. See?

Impossible. How could she have repaired a brass chain?

It's possible to repair. Have you forgotten, Beato? The duct tape seals. Erika used that duct tape to join the two cut ends of the chain together, sealing them. In other words, the chain was repaired by the duct tape, and this room once again became a closed room locked from the inside.

O-Objection. Erika has already used up her duct tape seals, hasn't she?! She shouldn't be able to use them any more!

Objection overruled. The use of the duct tape wasn't limited by the number of strips, right? It was by the number of rooms. The only restriction was to limit it to three rooms. Erika chose this guest room to be one of those rooms, so Erika has sthe right to seal as many places as many times as she wants within this room.

Gah...

That's right... I gave her permission to do that.

This is what you get for your PRIDE. Sympathy is the evil liquor that the proud are most fond of.

So, with this retroactive move, I proclaim that the chain lock has been repaired by the duct tape seal and has regained its original functionality. Thanks to that, I locked the room upon enterting it and made this guest room a closed room from the inside once more.

Repeat it. 'The lock created by the chain is currently intact.' Die, Battler.

By the plan he's working off of, Battler can't have set the chain. He's outside the room.

If he doesn't set the chain, Erika will use the blue truth to corner him.

The disappearance of Battler would then be used as a foundation to solve every other crime on the board.

If he says it in red, that could be the checkmate for Erika. Instead of Battler's coffin, it would be hers.

He can't go back to hiding in the room - he already escaped it in red. He mustn't use the red here unless he can escape in some other way.

If he can't, then this becomes a logic error.

...In that case... my choice is obvious.

Battler... This guest room has already been restricted in many ways by the red truth due to its closed room nature. How do you plan on escaping from this?!

If only I could do something about the chain lock... If only...

Even if we lose the fight in this room, there will still be chances left to us. We've still only started the second day, haven't we? We have plenty of time to reconstruct an impossible murder.

No, that's no good. If I acknowledge that I've escaped from this room now, it's the same as acknowledging that I'm the culprit! If I back down from the fight in this room, it's the same as accepting my defeat in this game.

Wait, are you actually going to respond to her demand?! Is there any way to escape without undoing the chain lock?! There isn't! If you respond, you'll lose instantly from a logic error! It's clear which choice we ought to make!

Yeah, it's clear. No matter what move we choose, it'll turn for the worst just as Erika wants. If it's horrible either way, I'd like to choose the move that has the biggest reward if we win!

You're going to call even though you have no logic for escaping and no trump cards? You think you can accept her demand and win?!

My cards might be useless. However, with just one more card, they might become a straight, a flush, or even a royal flush. If hell waits for me after both options, I'll take the one that'll finish her off if I win!

Th... That's an insane move. Sometimes, when madmen jump into the path of death... a miracle occurs.

It's impossible! How could you escape this closed room without removing the chain?!

There's only one difference between heroes and madmen - whether they win or lose. I'll be looking forward to your big victory.

So, Battler, let's have that second move that you predicted you would checkmate me on.

Please give an answer to Lady Erika's DEMAND. Will you RESPOND, or will you REFUSE?

Heh... heheheheheheheh... Yeah, it sure would be cool if you could say that the chain lock was still set, wouldn't it? Don't you think that'd be cool? But do you know what they call a fool who's full of himself and jumps into the path of death just because it's cool?

...No clue...

BGM: Infant Queen Bee

That red truth of yours just now has cut off your own logic! Please have the impartial referee make her judgment immediately! Great Lady Lambdadeltaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Motion received. Lambdadelta, does this make logical sense? Your inspection, please.

Motion received. Battler... show me. Let me see your cards.

Battler...

It is a royal flush... right? If you've got nothing, you won't get out of this with just a sorry, okay?

...Yeah. I have no intention of apologizing.

It's the one thing you have left of that precious Beato. So, you must not accept a logic error.

Even if you manage to crawl around forever after falling into the darkness of thought, you'll just be eternally trapped in a hell where you constantly think of ways to escape the closed room while denying the logic error. Are you sure? Are you sure?! This is nearly as bad as the depths of oblivion, got it?! It's like the difference between falling from the roof of a ten story building and falling from the roof of a hundred story building!

Lambda, Battler has already finished making his move. Players can't take back a move once it's made. Act as an impartial judge, carry out our motion, and see whether or not Battler's escape from the closed room is logical, and whether there has been a logic error or not.

Be slow, accurate, and meticulous, like an archaeologist. And, be as fast as a guy at an ice cream shop when he forcefully and skillfully scoops out that sweet, fragrant vanilla/soy sauce ice cream!

Y... Yes, I know that. Battler... let me see it.

Battler...

Beato... do you think I'll lose?

...I don't want to think that. After fighting the old me many times, you finally reached the miracle that I so wanted you to find. So, I'd like to believe... that you'll win through a miracle once again...!

That Beato entrusted me with this game board. So, I'll win. I need you alone to believe in me, Beatrice...

If I believe, and a miracle occurs...

Please...

I do believe in you...! Battler!

It'd be so cool if you vanished even though the chain is still set, wouldn't it? Kyaaaaaaahhahhaaaaaaaahhh! Like hell you caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnn! Like hell you can do iiiiiiiiit! If you could do that, you really would be a witch! If you could vanish your way out of this closed room like a puff of smoke, I'll have to acknowledge it! It'd be the work of a wiiiiiiiiiiitch!

Quiet, Lady Erika! Lady Lambdadelta is conducting her INSPECTION.
