“Everyone back away! That bastard is a demon!”
“Pardon? What are you…….”
Since I had Frederick to deal with, I followed the other two from the very back.
Apparently the commotion had already grown, because people were gathering in the street, murmuring among themselves.
“Excuse us, please move aside!”
“We’re Inquisitors. Make way!”
But the combination of two Inquisitors was powerful.
People stepped aside for Daniel and Maksimoyak, then backed away even farther the moment they spotted me.
A path opened instantly.
“What happened?”
“Thank goodness you’re here, Priest! This person is a demon!”
“Pardon?”
At the center of the commotion were two people.
The one raising the voice especially loudly was a Shaggi.
“This is seriously unbelievable.”
The other person, a Middle, gradually began showing irritation.
“Um, what exactly…….”
“Please calm down and explain what happened.”
“That person tried to seduce me. I’m sure they’re a demon!”
“No, Priest! I’m innocent!”
“I told both of you to calm down.”
At the Shaggi’s words, Daniel and I frowned at the same time.
Seduce?
What seduction?
“You there. What did you do?”
“I… just saw that this person dropped something, so I picked it up and returned it.”
“Don’t lie! You didn’t just pick it up! You went out of your way to chase me for dozens of meters just to return it!”
“What, was I supposed to leave it there when I could clearly see you’d dropped it!?”
