Yeah- he probably wasn't going to be able to fight a demon either. So he's the hostage.
He's the closest ticket we have to becoming registered vigilantes... because apparently that's a thing these days. Why did my next wielder have to appear over a thousand years later? Was no-one really that worthy?

But Vigilantes have been in society since like- the Viking Age at the very earliest.

But... there is a plan.
I need to free them somehow.

But anyway... do you know Lupus Vigil? He's the guy that was caught.
