Chapter 180-4
[Part 4/4]
The outlaw exorcist's words were an enticement, a request for a deal. He was a casual man, but dedicated to his work. He intended to get to the bottom of things... yes, to the very bottom. He needed to extract everything from the woman in front of him.
"...My daughter has been confined to the house all this time."
"Uh-huh. And then?"
"I haven't let her do anything bad. So, please, do whatever you want to me, but spare my daughter's life..."
"I see. But no."
The outlaw exorcist's immediate refusal to Ine's plea for her daughter's life came as she confessed.
"W-what...! Please, just..."
Ine, crawling, prostrating herself, desperately pleading for her daughter's survival. The villagers looked down on her, and the outlaw exorcist explained with his usual expression.
