Let's Play Umineko no Naku Koro ni: Episode 1 Chapter 14
Episode 1 Chapter 14 – Poorly Planned Acts of Heroism
Kumasawa was wondering if the demonically awful smell was coming from her burning the shit out of part of dinner, but apparently it's coming from the boiler room. They should head downstairs...
Despite the fact that Kanon and Kumasawa know where all the survivors are right now, someone is already down there.
Kanon has the highly common Run Towards Danger gene. Kumasawa follows to the best of her ability to keep up, lest something happen to Kanon, but, well. She's not hard to outrun.
The boiler room is very dark, so Kanon can't see anybody else in there. It also smells like steamed baboon's ass, so it's clearly the origin of what's going through the rest of the mansion. All Kanon can do is arm himself and stare into the abyss where the culprit is hiding.
This seems conspicuously magiclike.
Kanon is done going along with the bosses' ritual.
His plan isn't really complicated enough to warrant an extended gambling metaphor.
He's gonna fuck shit up.
CHAAAAAAAARGGGEEEEEE ORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[SFX: ahaha.wav]
Well. That was disappointing.
Fuck you, butterflies. You think you're so bad? You're just better-dressed moths.
The bugs disperse. Finally, Kumasawa catches up...
Her screams bring the others.
Kanon isn't dead. He's still dying.
...After killing Kanon, it seems the culprit escaped...
Battler no chasing is a bad strategy BATTLER
Too late. He charges through the other door into the courtyard, and Natsuhi follows with the gun.
There's nobody in the courtyard.
Or the garden. They got away.
Battler should get together with Shirou Emiya and have lengthy conversations about the basic dictionary definition of death. Oh, I'm sorry, you were having an emotional moment?
...Let's get back inside.
Kanon still isn't dead yet, but he took a bladed weapon to the heart. They may have gotten him treatment very very quickly, but Nanjo's not exactly Jesus here. His chances are grim.
Those things are part of a set.
So. Let's find out what's cooking.
Don't pretend you didn't know it was a body.
So much for winning your gamble, grandpa.
Of course, it's not just process of elimination identifying the corpse.
It turns out Kinzo had a condition called polydactyly. There have actually always been an unusually high number of people in the Ushiromiya family with it. This is, for one, because the elders used to think it was good luck—it was actually part of why Kinzo was selected as the head—so they kind of married and bred for it actively. But if your first thought was “Man they must be really inbred,” then, yeah, it's probably that too. RICH PEOPLE.
I don't think that's beside the point at all, Battler. But there's one other thing...
Kinzo's body has a stake through the head.
The Fourth Twilight has passed.
Not really, Natsuhi, but... you know what, I'll let you mourn.
Locked doors are useless unless the chain is on. Possibly even if it is, it's hard to say what the hell happened with Hideyoshi and Eva.
It's also worth mentioning that exactly half of the eighteen are dead now. With Kanon in the condition he's in, the scales could tip into the wrong end at any time.
Battler is cruising for a migraine. The last few crimes have been totally impossible for any of the survivors... there are too many questions. Hell, he's not even sure he can trust the dead.
Half of the First Twilight victims—Krauss, Gohda, and Shannon—had their faces badly damaged, but left plenty intact enough to ID reliably. But Rudolf, Kyrie and Rosa all pretty much looked like someone drove a lawnmower over their heads. Could any of those three be pulling some elaborate disguise shit?
Anything is more plausible than a witch. Battler will not believe.
Let's just get out of the boiler room. With Kinzo(?) removed from the boiler itself, the mansion's ventilation systems should stop smelling like char-grilled asshole shortly.
So, yes. Does Maria expect to be the sole survivor or something?
Sounds legit, kid.
I don't even know what he was expecting.
