(Eh, I've been having a hard time finding the time to write this. Which is too bad, since it gets very interesting...)
It's now 01:00 PM (I love that clock announcing the exact time for each scene), and the adults are getting hungry. Actually, not that much, but Kyrie and Rudolf insist in mounting an expedition to the mansion in order to retrieve enough canned food for everybody to last until the boat comes the next day. Hideyoshi tags along, having been given Rosa's shotgun when her corpse was found. (Yeah, Beatrice didn't bother hiding that powerful weapon. Overconfident much ? Or did she know that Hideyoshi would get it, as the only adult male without a weapon ?)
The three reach the mansion's kitchen without too much trouble, but the food cart is a bit heavy, so Hideyoshi pushes it while Kyrie takes his gun. Just before they reach the mansion door to the outside, two knife-girls show up before them, and prevent their exit. So the three split up in different directions. For some reason, the two knife-girls go after Kyrie and Rudolf, even though Hideyoshi's defenseless. Hum...
We're then treated an awesome but nonsensical scene where Kyrie confronts her pursuer. The knife-girls are modeled after the Seven Capitals Sins, and this one is Jealousy. She powers up and becomes immensely fast by feeding on her own jealousy for her sisters (or something, my memories are getting fuzzy). But Kyrie has 18 years' worth of jealousy (for Asumu, Rudolf's first wife), so she can get even faster, and manages to shoot through the knife-girl. Who dies. Wow.
Forget about the mechanics of the fight scene, which are completely laughable : what's actually interesting is what Kyrie says about herself. She and Asumu were already rivals for Rudolf's attention 18 years ago. They both got pregnant at the same time (Rudolf is a player !), but Kyrie miscarried, while Asumu had Battler. So Rudolf did the honorable thing and married Asumu (Kyrie implies that this was all a ploy but Asumu, but obviously her opinion is debatable). Anyway, Asumu died six years ago (and Kyrie does nothing to deflect my suspicions in this speech), and Rudolf married Kyrie immediately after (provoking Battler's anger). It's not exactly clear when they conceived Ange (who's now 6 year-old, and absent from the island for health reasons), but the whole thing is very suspicious...
Meanwhile, Rudolf's a lot less successful. He's heavily wounded, and EVA-Beatrice has even appeared to gloat. The knife-girl is impressed enough to allow him a traditional duel (back to back, three paces, and bang!) to go out with a bang. He has no chance, of course : the knife-girl is fast enough to dodge his shots. So he shoots and... the knife-girl did not move ? Because EVA-Beatrice was just behind her, and she noticed only at the last minute ? Wow, that was sloppy. Well-played, Rudolf.
Kyrie and Rudolf are now marching on the witch (that they immediately recognized as Eva)... but she turns the tables by summoning two heavy-duties demons, the Siesta sisters. Beato, our greek chorus, informs us that this is very impressive and that she had trouble doing that back in her time. Well, our protagonist's parents are screwed, then. And indeed, they barely last 10 seconds. EVA-Beatrice then goes into her despicable pastime of killing them repeatedly in creative ways.
Hideyoshi is back, and protests about this. Well, I approve, but this is a bad time to show a spine. So the inevitable happens. So long, Hideyoshi.
Beato appears in front of EVA-Beatrice and tries to tell her she's maybe going a bit to far with the repeated killings. Who denounces her as a complete hypocrite, of course, and proceeds to tell her to get lost. With both of the Siesta sisters aiming at her, Beato relents.
Next Part : Well, things are bad. And I was completely wrong on this chapter being shorter.
