'It was all because of my prejudice against Devils.'
The captain recalled that the war with the Devils had, in fact, ended over a hundred years ago. The last recorded direct conflict was decades ago.
To be honest, in the past decade, fewer people had been genuinely corrupted by Devils than the number of poor old folks scammed into buying useless health supplements in a single month.
Why did he have to specify "genuinely" corrupted?
Because many people he'd arrested claimed they had only committed their crimes because they were corrupted by a Devil.
He could understand it if someone used that excuse after committing a serious crime.
But why did a thief who stole underwear and socks also have to blame it on a Devil?
'What would a Devil want with that stuff?'
'And they were used, no less!'
