As unintentional the overall weakening of the demons was, it was still caused by me, so it was only right that I claimed the credit for it.
In fact, if it was just left in the air, the situation may get much more complicated as doubts might fill the head of those who overthought stuff. As such, and even though it might appear to be half a truth this way, that was still more optimal.
Making use of the background that I already established in their mind as well as my detailed question earlier, it at least proved that I knew what happened, disregarding whether I was the one who did it or not.
Making them think that I pulled some strings or just outright received outside help from my 'master', either way, worked and served its purpose as the 'cause' for the current situation.
