At that moment, Shien was surrounded from both front and back.
"Let's see how you escape now!"
Wolfman Strongman clenched his fists, looking utterly ferocious.
"Why did you do this?"
The catgirl, on the other hand, looked at Shien with extreme calmness, seemingly intending to give him a chance to explain himself.
Shien looked at Wolfman Strongman behind him, who could spring into action at any moment, then at the catgirl blocking his path ahead. He merely smiled calmly.
"Why do you think I did it?"
Shien tossed out a remark dripping with provocation.
Those words successfully enraged Wolfman Strongman, but the catgirl's expression did not change.
"You're human, not a demon, so you shouldn't be one of those lunatics from the Old Demon Faction. In that case, why did you break into our temple and undo the seal here?"
The catgirl questioned Shien.
Unfortunately for her, that was exactly what Shien wanted.
"I'd also like to know why the Beastmen Race's Priestly Corps is guarding such an obviously abnormal temple, and why you sealed a severely injured girl inside it." Shien stared at the catgirl with a faintly amused smile. "Don't tell me this is the Goddess of Life's temple, and you're merely worshipping the Goddess of Life?"
Shien's meaning was obvious. He was telling them that they were doing shady things too, so they had no right to criticize him.
"We..." The catgirl seemed about to say something, but held herself back. She merely stared hard at Shien and said, "We're only doing what we ought to do."
"What a coincidence." Shien's expression remained unchanged. "I'm only doing what I want to do."
"You...!" The catgirl finally showed a trace of anger.
Wolfman Strongman could no longer hold himself back at all.
"Stop wasting words on him, Mafy!"
