She’s had it with this saccharine bullshit, evidently. …imagine if this episode was a total fakeout, and the family conference goes off without a hitch and no weird murders? The adults find a mutually agreeable resolution of the inheritance issue… no, better, the kids and the servants force them to collectivise and redistribute the Ushiromiya fortune. And I also expect something will happen to test that belief in time. This probably has significance I doubt the mention of magic is irrelevant. They decide to swear together to always be friendly and happy, and believe in that. …and Maria mentions Beatrice, quotes that everyone must believe to gain happiness. It’s nice that at least one group of Ushiromiyas don’t have daggers to each others’ throats. The four of them are getting along well, and plan to see each other outside of the conference. This time, all the cousins know who is dating who at least. The obvious solution is to collectivise the wealth of the Ushiromiyas.īattler speaks English and people make fun of him. Fuck that!īattler somehow guesses that it’s one of the servants that Jessica’s into. Even if not for the previous episode, Kanon is the only named character Jessica’s age who’s not an Ushiromiya.)īattler rudely blames it on how she speaks ‘like a man’. Who could it be? (I mean, almost certainly Kanon. Jessica admits she tried to ask someone out once, but it went badly. Jessica gets all flustered.īattler is quite right - as a woman, I’m always asking questions I can’t answer, like ‘What is forgotten?’, ‘What is due?’ and especially ‘Who is Salt?’. All I can say is, I’m so glad I’m gay.īattler asks if Jessica has a boyfriend in return. They talk a little about gender dynamics around dating. Jessica asks if Battler has a girlfriend, and he says no. I’m getting the impression there weren’t any deals with witches involved this time around. Jessica says they’ve been explicitly dating for a year, but into each other for longer. This time, Battler doesn’t initially know about George and Sayo’s relationship, but he catches on pretty quickly. They all joke about how much of a dork Battler used to be. Sayo has an excellent memory, Battler doesn’t. We go through the usual ‘Maria and Battler don’t remember each other because she was three when they last met’, ‘wow you’ve gotten tall’, etc. Battler is catching up with the other Ushiromiya cousins on the beach. I’m glad we’re getting quickly to the point this time. The next chapter is called My Preparations are Already Complete. Hideyoshi does a good job of helping her calm down.Īs she gets off the boat, a mysterious voice - perhaps young!Eva - says ‘welcome back’. She worries that not just George, but Hideyoshi also hates her. We are told that Eva always gets terrible nightmares around the family conference from the trauma of her relationship with Krauss.
Hideyoshi does his best to reassure her as she wonders if George hates her. I don’t understand this at all, and since I don’t know where in the file structure the appropriate voice files are supposed to be, I can’t verify that they’re present.Īfter the others leave the boat, Eva starts freaking out after the epiphanies she reached in her dream. I thought a file might be corrupted, but I redownloaded and reinstalled all the sound, extra and script files, and it doesn’t seem to fix the problem.
Oh, also, I still don’t get any voices for Rudolf or Kyrie. If the people on the island solve the riddle, that thwarts narrative!Beatrice, but not necessarily meta!Beatrice? But I still don’t see why it would be in Lambdadelta’s interest to see narrative!Beatrice thwarted. Meta!Beatrice wants to force Battler to acknowledge narrative!Beatrice as a witch, but narrative!Beatrice wants to complete the ritual. I guess we should also distinguish the aims of narrative!Beatrice and meta!Beatrice.
However, the ‘without fail’ phrasing is a huge arrow pointing at Lambdadelta. I’m not sure why it’s in Lambdadelta’s interest to see the riddle be solved - isn’t that her ally Beatrice’s lose condition? It’s possible it’s Bernkastel instead. So, if I’m interpreting this right (edit from future Bryn: don’t be so sure of that!), Eva probably has Lambdadelta communicating with her subconscious, playing the role of her childhood self, and encouraging her to solve the riddle and become family head.
