![]() They decide to unlock and open the door, and find the chain has been placed on it. Genji and Kanon go to fetch Hideyoshi and Eva, and find only silence, and another sealed envelope on Kinzo’s stationery pushed under the door. Battler remarks they’re all good at drawing, which might become important later. The kids have been havinga drawing contest. The game’s certainly conspicuously trying to make us think they’re the ‘two who are close’, which makes me suspect they aren’t. Oh, he’s definitely going to die soon after a remark like that. Hideyoshi proposes that he and Eva might have a holiday in the Maldives on New Year. If these are the two who will be ‘torn apart’, they seem pretty close right now. Hideyoshi responds understandingly, saying he has no regrets, and he’s been grateful to have a family after losing his relatives in ‘the war’ (World War II, most likely). She has a confessional moment to Hideyoshi. More than just greed, she says she wanted to get back at Krauss, who she always hated. …So when she had learned that Shannon had died and the engagement had been invalidated, …while part of her had been shocked at the gruesome crime, another part of her had been relieved that her precious George wouldn’t be stolen by some servant girl. Why is this woman so awful?Īnd she is, naturally, very angry that George - the intended successor - loves Shannon, a servant. We learn that while (the narrator says) Hideyoshi genuinely wanted to raise a family, Eva was inspired to marry Hideyoshi and have George by the thought she could jump the inheritance queue if she was first to have a child. Genji is still loyal, even though it seems Kinzo has arranged for them all to be sacrificed - at least, that’s what Nanjo suspects.Įven alone, Eva can’t let go of her vendetta against Natsuhi. ![]() We go to the kitchen, where Nanjo is with the three surviving servants. Natsuhi estimates the boat, delayed by the typhoon, will arrive early the next morning. According to the riddle, the others will tear those two apart. The new chapter is called The Two Who Are Close. The chapter ends and the clock rolls forward to 7pm. So the number of people can’t be represented by an integer. …The number of people in this mansion is \(19>x>18\). …In short, even though there are more than 18 people, there are less than 19. When I’m led to believe in a 19th person, I deny it, and when I’m led to believe that there are only 18 people, I deny that too. Maria says she’ll tell Beatrice that if she sees her…īattler wonders why he’s so contrary. The 72 demons in question would be those listed in the Ars Goetia, the first volume of the Lesser Key of Solomon (which is unrelated to the Key of Solomon), and commonly called the goetic demons.īattler tells Maria to advise Beatrice to perform the next crime ‘in a way no human could’. Maria goes back into occult mode, and explains that Beatrice could make use of the 33rd ranked of 72 demons, Gaap, to “instantly carry the desired person to any location”. He asks if a witch could easily take Kinzo out of the locked room. George, refusing to believe one of his relatives is the murderer, stays.īattler confides in Maria that at this point he’d rather believe in Beatrice than have his relatives be at each others’ throats. If it doesn’t, let me know and i’ll ask one of my cousinsĮva and Hideyoshi go back to their rooms. ![]() If you look up a definition for umineko it all leads back to this novel so I’m actually not sure why the word seagull is being attributed to it, because a quick translate from japanese to english simply translates it as “umineko" She also noted umineko ( うみ (umi) ねこ(neko)) is not the usual Japanese word for seagull, which is 鴎 (kamome). While eventually the “brash” male will be expected to grow out of it, it mirrors western expectations of women maturing faster than men in that girls are expected to be more demure, sooner ![]() Which ties into gender dynamics with regards to being more demure and introverted Shintoism is mixed in with a lot of buddhism, and priestesses may be associated with bodhisattvas, people (generally women) who delay nirvana out of compassion for others If you watch anime, “brash” girl characters tend to be labelled immature and disruptive Temples tend to be tended by priestesses (think sailor mars, kikyo from inuyasha) and this all has some measure of magic / mysticismĪnd women stereotypically in asian culture are more introverted, mainly because it’s a sign of maturity – learning to hold your tongue.
