But something came to light when they caught the masked man. His voice and the way he talked reminded them of when the cat guy threatened them. Also, the cat guy's different attitudes had an explanation. 

The naive guy was the cat spirit and the scheming person was this person. He actually controlled the cat guy so that meant he knew everything about them trying to sneak in.

But then, why didn't he manipulate again?

"Maybe because after you fought, whatever was controlling him was broken. Otherwise, they wouldn't get caught because they had a spy on our side."

"Yes, sister is right. First, your magic is pure and it exerts effects fiercely. Second, because the fight allowed the cat spirit to upgrade, the level of control on him was loose. And finally, our words made his level of faith in his boss shaken so the control or whatever he was using to manipulate him was broken."

Yes, this was right.
