Handyman Saitou in Another World - Vol. 2 Ch. 26

[TheFollower]

This is some crossover episode.

 

[TsuyoshiTakeru]

All goodwill i had for the priest is gone, he deserves to be in that shitty party.

Same bro.. same..

 

[Someguy]

Why would he paralyze him... That'd earn the hostility of saitou's party immediately and probably get him beaten up. It's nonsensical

Because all the adventurers are racing to find the treasures. Taking down any competition is beneficial for him. If they try to attack him, he'll just pretend to be innocent and everybody else will come to his defence, because he's a celebrity.
