It states that the contract with Kinzou has ended and therefore her resignation as special advisor. Maria is somewhat possessed as she reads the letter.
Then Maria takes out a letter she says Beatrice gave to her to read aloud to everyone. Thankfully she is safe but where did she get the umbrella? Beatrice gave it to her.Įveryone wonders who gave Maria the umbrella if none of the servants did. When Maria has not returned, they go find her.
A big storm arrives and Kinzou believes Beatrice has come. Because she is making a very irritating noise, her mom Rosa tells her to shut up and since she remains persistent, she slaps her! The rest can’t get involved in this personal family problem and furious Rosa just leaves Maria to do as she wishes. Then they try to find her marked rose lost in the garden. Maria gives a scorpion pendant as protection against Beatrice. Unfortunately he has no money to help them and suggests they solve Beatrice’s epitaph instead. But Krauss knows a bit of their other shady dealings and shuts them up. The siblings try to gang up on Krauss and make him agree to their several conditions in exchange to let him handle the distribution of the assets. Something about embezzlement of funds and it ends with Natsuhi being berated by Eva due to some family status thingy. Meanwhile the adults are beginning to talk about money and inheritance. Battler thinks it is a whole lot of bull but Maria really believes in it. It is rumoured that he made a contract with Beatrice to sell his soul in exchange for 10 tonnes of gold which is equivalent to 20 billion Yen. Kinzou was tasked in rebuilding everything and he used his wealth and extreme luck to turn the tables around to make the family prosperous again. Family history reveals that the Ushiromiya was a prosperous family owning many mills till the great earthquake wiped everything out and killed many of the family members. Their grandpa and family head Kinzou believes in the existence of witches. There is a big portrait that Battler notices. We are introduced to several characters of the family from uncles and aunties ( Krauss, Hideyoshi, Rudolf, Eva, Kyrie, Natsuhi, Rosa) to young relatives and cousins ( Battler, Jessica, George, Maria) to the servants ( Chiyo Kumasawa, Genji Ronoue, Kanon, Shannon, Toshiro Gouda). The other Ushiromiya family members gather on their private island, Rokkenjima for their annual family gathering. He seems to be desperate for Beatrice’s smile and would return everything just to have that again. Kinzou Ushiromiya has about 3 months to live. With the deadly storm entrapping the family on the island, they are forced to fend themselves in a battle that hovers between fantasy and reality. The dying patriarch seems to be obsessed in reviving his dead lover believed to be a witch and the main ingredients of resurrecting a witch is, you guessed it, sacrifice. Without spoiling so much, it is about a family gathering that is more than just discussing about the distribution of the family’s head’s wealthy assets. After all, I already did mention in that blog of some of the anime titles of this genre that I would be interested to look at and it is no surprise that now I find myself drawn to watch Umineko No Naku Koro Ni. Thanks to my little stint in the survival genre especially the interesting and astonishing (albeit not perfect) Mirai Nikki, it was only a matter of time that I decided to dabble in another anime of the similar genre.
