Let's Play Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Episode 3 Chapter 15
Episode 3 Chapter 15 – I'm Beginning to Suspect Ryukishi Has Issues
Sssssso! Hey guys. I kind of, uh.
Hey look the LP is continuing isn't that distracting let's not think about how long it wasn't updating!
I think it's clear that whatever happens to them out here is Zeus's fault for not being angry enough.
Rosa is pretty sure there's no actual murderer. This is just a simple harmless stroll through
Oh Jesus crime-fighting Christ.
Eva's still in the guesthouse, but something's up with her.
Back outside!
Well that can't be right. You get three guesses how it's not.
This is an appropriate time and place for that, right?
You're WEIRDING US OUT, EVA!
[SFX: ahaha.wav]
EVA-Beatrice has all of Eva's hatred for her relatives and none of her maturity or emotional ties to the real world. Also, she is omnipotent.
I don't like where this is going.
Eva is... still with Hideyoshi. But she can sense what her other half is doing.
If someone says they're Beatrice, Maria doesn't really question it. Witches can change their appearance, after all.
Yes, that is the most obvious and prominent reason this turn of events is strange!
Rosa. Request: shoot her. I mean it didn't work great for Natsuhi against Beato, but give it a try while she's ranting!
And now you're doomed.
Ronove doesn't seem to give a fuck. All in a day's work for him, I guess.
Well. Uh. Goodbye, ground.
EVA-Beatrice can fly! Rosa cannot fly. Rosa is just being levitated under someone else's power. She would dearly like to be set down.
By the way, EVA-Beatrice ahaha.wavs a lot more than her predecessor to the point that it'd be really silly to link them every time. I mean, more silly than linking them in the first place.
Seriously though Rosa WOULD REALLY LIKE TO BE CLOSER TO THE GROUND
LESS CLOSE! LESS CLOSE!
Ah. Well. Uh. I guess if that was an accident, maybe everything will be fine now!
Right! It would take no effort for her to theoretically revive Rosa over and over again.............
[SFX: ahaha.wav]
Beato probably would have faded to black after the fall. Oldest trick in the book. Count on the audience's imagination being scarier to them than yours.
The new management thinks that sounds pretty boring. She offers to make all the weird dreams Rosa had as a little girl come true!
She's not kidding.
She literally converted the lawn of the mansion into a bottomless vat of jelly for Rosa to swim in.
Drown in! Sorry. For Rosa to drown in. Not that being crushed by the pressure is drowning but I'm honestly not sure which should realistically have happened first.
“Realistically,” as she sinks into the magical jelly Mariana Trench. This novel got fucking weird at some point.
Rosa humbly requests that your next sibling bonding activity involve less dying on her part.
Nope!
I kind of just have to present this round of murder without comment. Because what the fuck would I say about this that would add anything?
Next!
So, being a butterfly shouldn't be SO bad, right? I mean, she'll probably step on her or something, but that shouldn't hurt as much as the cake thing.
I'm going to go ahead and say I miss the old Beatrice.
[SFX: ahaha.wav]
PAUSE.
Oh goddammit, she's just getting ideas. I rescind my prior judgment.
I... think she's flirting?
Sorry, Battler. Everything is incurably horrible and you're obligated to watch. There's a joke about reality TV in here somewhere...
You're correct, Battler. Eva may seem vicious in an economic debate, but she's nowhere near this mindlessly cruel. But, ahem. EVA is not Eva. Even though she is.
Magic!
NO, says Battler.
[BGM: Black Lilliana]
Battler has never been what you'd call Beato's biggest fan. He's cried a lot. He's screamed at her. He's sworn vengeance for his family. He's even made bizarrely specific physical threats pertaining to breasts and cannibalism.
But never before has he been fucking done. This is the mountain of cakes that broke his aunt's back! Or however that expression goes.
You're kidding.
She's legitimately confused and hurt.
What's you guys's PROBLEM she didn't do anything wrong! Why doesn't Battler like her anymooooooorrrreeee?????
Beato doesn't call her challenge with Battler a “game” just to torment him. They're opponents and all, but she thought it was all in good sport! The rivalry and animosity and histrionics and cackling were just how the game works! It is legitimately news to her that Battler might not at all times be having fun.
Seriously, though, don't let's be overly sympathetic to her position here, because it's insane. In short, Beato, no, wanton abuse of the cycle of life and death is not what us non-omnipotent folks consider quality entertainment.
Yeah, I'm out too. Enjoy being a woman laughing alone with chessboards.
UNPAUSE.
[SFX: ahaha.wav]
Ugh, we all ditched Beato but it's really not any less sadistic down here...
Sigh. God, what do you want?
Beato? You're telling someone to tone down the pointless gleeful savagery?
Yeah, what she said! Minus the part where she should do that because she shouldn't do that. Please don't do that.
I think you need a clearer look at that face.
Yeah.
I guess I kind of appeciate what you're trying to do here, Beato, if I squint. But it's not working. Stop
making excuses and just take charge a little, she seems to respect you.
Well, you guys kind of have to be dead, unfortunately. But just ONE MORE TIME, and with fewer antics.
Beato is slowly beginning to realize the whole torture thing has a downside.
See? Painless and dignified. Isn't that nice?
Maybe less nice than letting her live, but come on, Rosa. You know what series you're in. Babysteps.
Kinda brutal, but like a tender massage compared to the spider thing.
You may be losing her respect. This bodes ill.
We're in a very different place than where we started this episode.
Ronove and the Stakes will... help keep the new boss under control. Maybe. If they have to. And can.
So, uh, how about it, kid? That whole non-sadism plan?
We're fucked.
