Let's Play Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Episode 2 Chapter 8

Episode 2 Chapter 8 – Proving the Devil



All this witch business is ruining Gohda's dinner. HE'LL KILL HER




Might as well get some antics in while they can. Shit's gonna hit the fan soon, not that they know. But eventually it's time to indulge Maria and talk about Beatrice.



So that's why Battler can't see her!




They have much the same conversation as their parents, minus the squabbling and shrieking and money-grubbing. Witchery aside, could there be a human named Beatrice? The daughter of Kinzo and his mistress, perhaps? It's basically impossible to say for sure. By which I mean “Oh hey, one of Kinzo's oldest friends is right here, what if we asked him.”





So, it's impossible for it to be the mistress, and it wouldn't make much sense for it to be her daughter, especially since such a daughter would be older than Beatrice seems. But hey, Devil's Proof. Is she somehow related to Kinzo?



George really knows how to think like an Ushiromiya adult.



Ahahaha! Ahahahahaha! Oh, Battler. Don't be a smartass.



See? See what you did?



Maria will skullfuck you, uu-. Battler nonetheless asserts that witches don't exist. But Devil's Proof, Battler!




I think what Battler's trying to say is “Because shut up.”



He's also trying to say “get on with it up there, witchtits.”




No no, Kumasawa, Creepy Maria isn't done.





An interesting bit of advice. Albeit advice in the form of a taunt. Don't let's assume Beatrice will go down like a pile of rocks as soon as we throw some chessboard thinking at her. Our knowledge of her motives and methods is too sparse.

Later...




It's a long story, okay.



It's time for this conversation again.





Of course he still (still) needs to build up his castle, an analogy of which he is overly fond.



In another fragment, she accepted this ring and was prepared to give him her answer the next day. But now, a witch has threatened her. Now she knows that if she accepts, she might die.



Challenge accepted.



Later.



FUCKING FURNITURE, SHANNON! FUUUUUURRRRRRRRNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTUUUUUUURRRRRRREEEEEEEE




Calm the hell down, Kanon.



You still don't get it, huh, Kanon. Yes, she'll die. And she'll have been happy until the end. If you die, you'll never have been happy in your entire life.



Kanon, you're full of shit. You already did.





He's got regrets. He's got nothing but.



KEIKAKUS





Battler doesn't have to lose outright. All Beatrice has to do is wait. And she's forgotten more than most of us will ever know about waiting.



Elsewhere, the Ushiromiya siblings and in-laws meet. Presiding this discussion is the mystery guest they were so concerned about. She shows them something beyond description.




Krauss and Natsuhi acknowledge her.



Eva and Hideyoshi acknowledge her.




Rudolf and Rosa acknowledge her.





Even Kyrie acknowledges her. In the wake of what she showed them, it's irrefutable.
