Ryuzu:  When Ryuzu saw Beatrice at the edge of the settlement, she stared at the girl in a daze.

Beatrice:  Beatrice took issue with that, which was what led to the current situation. "I was smitten with the sight of Lady Beatrice in the twilight… I am sorry."

Beatrice:  "Smitten, is it…?"

Echidna:  "Beatrice, do you acknowledge Ryuzu’s version of the story?"
human
Beatrice:  "Ummmm…"

Echidna:  "It would not be proper to tell you, a child, to behave more like an adult, but your attitude is lacking in tolerance. You are indeed special, but that is not for the sake of looking down upon others. I seem to be saying this a lot." Upon receiving Ryuzu’s reply, Echidna sent some sort of stern admonition Beatrice’s way. Though Beatrice seemed quite crestfallen, Ryuzu was in too great a panic to notice. —

Ryuzu:  She’d never thought that the great Witch Lady Echidna would personally remember her name. Ryuzu lived in a tiny village, but her existence was the tiniest of all. As an apostle, she felt the joy of having the Witch of Greed herself remembering her name send a tremor running through her heart.

Echidna:  "I shall leave things to Geuse from here. I am sure he will work hard to give you proper guidance."

Beatrice:  "…Betty does not like Geuse very much."

Echidna:  "Considering his role, being disliked by you is exactly the appraisal I wished and hoped for." Smiling at Beatrice’s disgusted face, Echidna then turned to Ryuzu. This made Ryuzu’s heart leap. She always let opportunities to speak slip and kept finding some suitable reason to distance herself from such places out of hesitation, so Echidna paying any attention to her once again was a surprise. "That must have come as quite a shock for you, yes, Ryuzu? This girl, Beatrice, is my… She is like a daughter to me. As you can see, she has yet to learn proper manners, I am embarrassed to say."
human
Beatrice:  "I am not like a daughter—I am your daughter!"

Echidna:  "Well, it is something like that. I believe I shall be coming here with her more frequently hereafter. Both of you will likely see each other more often, so I would like the two of you to get along nicely."

Ryuzu:  "Y-yes. Leave it to me, Lady Echidna…!" Honored to receive a request from the Witch, Ryuzu nodded, her eyes sparkling with delight.

Echidna:  Ryuzu’s acceptance elicited a satisfied nod from Echidna.

Beatrice:  From behind, Beatrice murmured ruefully in a tiny voice. "…Is Betty not completely fine even when all alone, I wonder?"
