Background Music: Demo Scene 01 When: As saving Maria (after defeating Shaft without rescuing Annette) (In Shaft's ritual room, Richter shocks as he saw a young girl is lying down on the ground)
Richter: !! Are you all right? ???: ...
(The girl stands up) Richter: ...Are you awake? ???: M-Mister? Who are you? Richter: I'm Richter Belmont. Don't worry. That man is gone. I paid him back for hurting you. ???: My name's Maria. Maria Renard. ?! Are you the man Annette was talking about? Richter: You know about Annette? Where is she? Maria: We were together when they brought us here, but now... Richter: I see... Maria: Don't worry, I'll help you! Richter: ...With what? Maria: Well, we have to beat the bad man! Richter: Ha! No, no. Just...be good, go home, back to your mom and dad. They're worried about you. Maria: ...No, they know I'm safe with you. Richter: ?! Maria: They can see it from Heaven. They were killed. Richter: ...Oh. I-I'm sorry. Maria: So I'm definitely coming with you! Richter: No, that's out of the question. It's too much dangerous-- Maria: Hey, I said it, and I mean it!
(Maria summons her Qing Long as Richter dodges) Richter: (shocked) What was that just now? Maria: Huh? There's some kind of power inside me. What... What is it? Um... So NOW can I come along? Richter: You just won't take no for an answer, will you? All right. Fine. Come with me. Maria: Yay! Richter: But promise me you'll run if things get too dangerous. Maria: All right. I promise.
(Maria joins Richter)
When: After saving Maria (A young girl is falling from the ritual circle as Richter holds her up. Then the girl awakes)
???: Who are you, mister? A good guy? Richter: I am Richter Belmont, vampire hunter. And you are?
(The girl steps down to the ground) Maria: My name's Maria Renard. I heard all about you from Annette. I came here to beat some bad man, but I got caught. My family are vampire hunters, too. So, I guess that means we should be friends now. Richter: Sure. Friends.
(The two shake hands each other) Richter: But Maria, you're too young for this. You just let the big hunter here take of that bad man, okay? Maria: Oh, you don't know anything! I can handle this just fine!
(Richter laughs)
