prof | Let's Play Umineko Chiru, Episode 6 Scene 35: The Return of the Witch

<< | ^^ | >>

There is no more body for Nanjo to inspect.

Kanon has vanished from this closed room..

...Kanon...

By now, no one's eyes can see us. That means that we are no longer in their world. However, we are right here.

...You're right. We... are here.

For us, a body is nothing more than a cage made of flesh. There's no need to be sad.

But... I do feel sad for her. Jessica...

This is all my sin. This is why furniture isn't supposed to love.

...I think that's wonderful.

What will you do?

...I want to save Battler... from a closed room...

Wh-Why are you laughing? This is very important to me...

But it's a closed room. That's only a problem for humans who have bodies.

Huh? ...Ah...

We have already been released from our cage of flesh. How could a closed room hinder us?

A-Are you sure about that? I mean, there's a chain lock, and duct tape seals, and red truth!

I see... So, you weren't from the world of pieces, but a being from a higher-level world. That's probably why your limitations are different from ours. Ah, well...

I'm glad for the sentiment... however, even if you wanted to leave the cousins' room... because of Erika's seals...

In that case, use your magic to give me power.

My magic...?

Yeah. Use your magic on me.

W-Wait... I don't even know how...

Aren't you Beatrice, the Golden Witch?

I am a witch, but... I don't even know about closed room tricks, much less magic...

Solving puzzles is the business of the human side. Such things are beneath a true witch's dignity.

A witch creates puzzles.

Locks? Chains? Duct tape? Don't be ridiculous.

All these are distractions. The Golden Witch will create a closed room so great that it surpasses all such trifles.

Memories start to pour into Beatrice's mind.

BGM: Resurrected Replayer

In a corner of the reception hall, Gertrude whispers a report to Dlanor.

UNDERSTOOD. I will tell HER. Gertrude, contact the head of ceremony SECURITY. Prepare for BATTLE.

As you wish.

I always ignore anonymous calls and letters. Just throw it away.

But... please, look at this...

This isn't an anonymous letter.

With that seal, only one person could have sent it.

What is to be done? The sniper team is carrying red warheads. If you give your permission, I will give the order to load them.

What are you talking about? Do you realize how important these guests are? If a stray bullet hits one of these attendants, all the new Siesta Sisters will be sent straight from the factory to the guillotine for the next ten years.

Understood. We will intercept with regular warheads. Shall we post lookouts around the Seven Sisters of Purgatory?

Why would we post lookouts around our allies? Just make sure security is nice and tight.

Just now, we received a recommendation from Assistant Inquisitor Gertrude suggesting that we make preparations for battle. Her reasons are unknown.

From Gertrude? Heheh. Follow that recommendation. A party's more fun once you liven things up!

Cornelia is heading there NOW. The odds of Beatrice attacking here are extremely HIGH. I recommend suspending the reception adn EVACUATING.

What's going on, Erika? Something go wrong with the entertainment?

N-No, my master! Please continue to enjoy the reception... Hey, someone? Let's get Lady Bernkastel some more dried plum wine!

Well... They're saying that Kanon disappeared from the cousins' room...

He's probably hiding somewhere in the cousins' room. Or else, he's managed to trick everyone since the beginning... and was never in that room to begin with.

That's impossible. It's been guaranteed that 'everyone' is in the cousins' room except the specific names Lady Erika read aloud back then. It's impossible for him to trick his way out of here.

How did he get past the Jungfrau seal barrier? No, first off, where on earth is Kanon? Find him at once!

All Siestas, Code Red! Rock n' Roll!

Lady Erika, let us evacuate to the waiting ROOM. It is dangerous here.

What's dangerous?! I'm the territory lord of this world! Why should I have to run away in fear?!

Gertrude, set up a VIP guard BARRIER. Call Cornelia back here at ONCE.

Yes, executing.

A barrier?! I need to be wrapped in one of your pitiful, pathetic barriers while I'm wearing a wedding dress?! How insulting!

She's late. Right, Lambda?

Totally. She sure kept us waiting.

What was that just now? A love letter from someone?

A fan letter from the Lambda Fan Club.

Come on, putting me in a jail is meaningless.

True! Pukukuku.

But Riiche... Battler's closed room, the cousins' closed room... and even the final possibility, the next room over, have all been sealed... How are you planning to save Battler?!

Let us suppose that Milady has found some trick X. If so, she would inevitably have to march in here to thrust that in Lady Erika's face...

But... against all of these Siesta troops... She'll be sewn to death!

If she can just get close enough to challenge Erika... she should be able to get herself an even fight.

I see, that move... However, does Milady have that item with her? She always complains, and dislikes it when I prepare them for her. My, my... she's troublesome to the end.

Well, if it doesn't work on Erika, we're through. The problem is getting her right in front of Erika, if only for a second. The Siestas will probably prevent that with all they have. Lia, do you think you could give her that time?

Virgilia's power is enough to briefly disable all the Siestas in the cathedral. However, first she'll have to do something about those two watching her back...

Guards, shoot to KILL!

Negative. Conducting identity comparison.

Oh, what a surprise. You know, I thought you weren't going to make it.

It took you quite some time to come here, most honored guest! You had us all quite worried! But I am glad you managed to make it to the reception, at least!

Battler's eyes quiver slightly when he hears that laugh.

BGM: Sin

'Let us meet again in hell' is a favorite parting line of mine, but--

Identity confirmed. It is the great Lady Beatrice!

BGM: Anti-Demon Sequentia

Someone find a doctor. These girls seem to be ill.

All Siestas, open fiiiiiire!

For a brief instant, Virgilia's power is as it was in her prime. The cathedral windows shatter in unison.

All the Siestas topple like dolls, their spirit particle defenses overwhelmed. That's a few moments bought.
