41 Episode 40 Persuasion.txt (1/2)

Belamus was thinking of ways to convince Riza to return, that she would stay here until she said she would return to the Countess of Astraeus .

Riza's intentions are firm and her loyalty to her lord seems to be high.

But she doesn't seem to be that bad.

If he could convince her that he really couldn't, Bellamus thought, she would leave.

As for how to make him understand, Bellamus guessed that Riza, like most humans, didn't have such a good image of the demon.

First, you have to make him understand that the demons in this town are not bad demons.

Then, once they know that Bellamus is the mayor of this town, they will understand that we can't take him home.

We'll do nothing and let him live here as usual.

If I do that, she'll soon understand that the demons in this town are not a bad thing.

Riza will be staying at the Bellams' house for a while.

It's easy to add on rooms, so she added them.

She says that she can't do anything during her stay, and she helps me with my work.

In between jobs, she asks me to come back to Vellums, but of course he doesn't like it.

Ten days pass like that.

Time has passed, but...

Please! Please return to the Astraeus family!

Riza didn't seem to have given up yet.

'It's Riza . You've been in this town for ten days now, and you understand that the demons in this town aren't bad demons, right?

It's ...... yes. I don't understand the language, but I could tell by the way he was acting . The demons in this town are just as good as, if not better than, ordinary humans.

'You understand that I have no complaints about life in this town at all.

'It's also yes ...... . We have as good a home as any human town, and there is an abundance of food.

And if you'd seen it, you'd know that I have an important role to play in this town, wouldn't you?

'Well, it's ...... that I've been meaning to ask, but why are the inhabitants of the town following Master Bellamus, who is still a child, so far? It's true that Master Bellamus says and does things that you wouldn't consider a child.

I'm the mayor of this town.

What, Mr. Mayor?

Riza is surprised and quite upset.
