"I wasn't defeated, I was just careless."
The minotaur boy really wanted to say this. Yet, saying this out loud wouldn't have any effect except for making him seem like a sore loser. He would become nothing more than a joke in the dog-head girl's eyes.
His opponent was far stronger than expected. He could only admit this.
"Your technique was truly astonishing. May I ask how you learned it, Mister knight leader?" the dog-head girl inquired Seiji.
The minotaur boy really wanted to know the answer to this as well. However…
"I apologize, I don't wish to answer."
Well, she already expected that he wouldn't answer.
"With such power, you're even more suited for joining us than I originally thought…" The dog-head girl paused for a moment. "No, honestly, it's me personally that wants you to join us."
"Why's that?"
"Because I want you." She suddenly switched to speaking in a seductive tone.
