prof | Let's Play Umineko Chiru, Episode 7 Tea Party: The Stroke of Midnight

<< | ^^ | >>

It's either that, or it's a prank by the servants. Either way, the letter is probably meant to turn the family against each other.

A thought spreads across the group.

If they find the gold together, they can solve all their problems.

So what if all of them set to solving it together? They'll find the gold for sure.

If nothing else, it'll be a nice break from the real business of dividing Kinzo's inheritance.

In the garden, George proposes as usual.

In the guest house, Battler and Jessica gossip about George.

So much has changed in the past six years.

Memories of a more innocent time come drifting back.

Well, he forgot completely over the past six years. It's not like he has the right to be jealous.

In the mansion, the family has reached Taiwan, but is stuck on the problem of rivers.

The epitaph didn't go unsolved for two years out of lack of trying. It's a momentous challenge, even for seven people.

Eva is the one to make the connection that the sweetfish river is the Danshui Line. The rest of the wordplay falls into place quickly.

George's happiness seems a little forced. Shannon picks up on it.

Whenever George and Battler are together, Battler shines brighter.

George is smarter, more successful, and more knowledgeable, but he still feels like he can't win against Battler.

He was worried about this day. Like Battler was going to snatch Shannon away from him again.

George has nothing to worry about. If he's worried about losing Shannon, he just has to love her even more, so that such a thing would be unthinkable.

However, having heard George's words, Shannon feels she can speak honestly.

However, that was six years ago. Shannon has cut her ties with the past.

Elsewhere, the search for the gold advances at an incredible pace.

The first six letters are sacrificed.

By trial and error, they reach the final stage of the solution.

The path to the Golden Land opens.

Krauss, Eva, Rudolf, Rosa, Natsuhi, Hideyoshi, and Kyrie descend into the hidden room.

Eva opens the door.

The gold is real.

Come now, no reason to keep the lies up now! Why not just admit everything?

That hasn't happened in any of the games before now.

Supposedly, Beatrice decided not to commit the crime if the epitaph was solved...

Yeah, supposedly... I wonder.

I don't think the crime will occur.

Are you sure about that?

Yes. Her roulette has already made its decision. This is the end of her game.

If it's the end, what happens next? Do they all become happy rich people and leave the family conference unharmed? Does my family get an ingot that isn't chocolate as a parting gift before coming back to me? Will it be a happy end for everyone? You think those witches would chain us to chairs to show us a naive dream like that?!

But maybe this show is Clair's doing.

Is this a parting gift from the witch? A game with no murders?

A shadow flutters by the curtains.

Someone is hiding here.

Everyone immediately recognizes this person as the owner of this room.

Beatrice tells all. This is her game. They have won. The gold now belongs to them.

Beatrice gestures to the table. The gathered family members see what's resting there for the first time.

She formed a great many plans. She envisioned every possible series of events for the next two days, and how she would commit the 13 murders.

But now, none of that is needed. After all, they've thwarted her game.

Beatrice bet her life on the demon's roulette. She is prepared for any outcome.

If they wish to kill her, she won't object.

On the ninth twilight, none are left alive.

Kinzo set up this device.

If he ever wished to, he could wipe away everything on Rokkenjima, once and for all.

The crater would be a kilometer across.

If the switch is in that position when midnight strikes, the bombs will explode.

Midnight is coming very soon. If they desire an explosion, they can leave it as it is.

In the event that the Americans found out about this stockpile, it was rigged to be able to self-destruct.

Kinzo kept this system intact, rigging it up to this clock.

If Kinzo ever lost a critical gamble, he could simply destroy everything.

No doubt this clock ticked towards midnight with the switch flipped many nights.

The real study of Ushiromiya Kinzo wasn't in the mansion. It was down here.

Beatrice has tested the fuses. The explosives are still working, beyond all doubt.

The destruction of the shrine was a test. The explosives are just as powerful as they were half a century ago.

Beatrice had no plan to use that tunnel. If the riddle was not solved, she would have died here.

No matter what fate is decided for her, Beatrice will comply. The illusion of the witch is finished.

Beatrice is already dead.

She will never be understood.

A portion of the gold was converted into cash. That account now belongs to the family as well.

It contains more than one billion yen.

Nobody accepts the offered card.

What if this is a trap?

What if she's lying about which side is the 'off' side of that switch?

Midnight is in one minute.

If you don't believe, then by all means, flip the switch.

Beatrice repeats the same as before. Left is off. The explosives are not armed.

Eva insists, she must be lying.

Five. Four. Three.

Two. One.
