"If you want something, you go and fight for it. Isn't that just the way of the world?"
"Without the Deities, there would be no Professionals. If that were the case, faced with this Giant Demon invasion, we humans would have been utterly powerless to resist."
"Take now, for example. Isn't this abandoned Underground City a gift from the Deities?"
"Besides, back in the day, the Deities never demanded that Professionals worship any specific god. You have no faith—you even blaspheme them. Aren't you the best proof of that?"
"Of course, I know you lost your wife in the Underground City, and even lost your only child while fighting the Giant Demons."
"But you're not going to like hearing this—wasn't it all a choice they made for themselves? In fact, it was your choice, too."
"If you hadn't let..."
"Enough!!!"

"Enough... Priest Kaven, I don't want to discuss this topic with you."
