Wonderful life of a maid

Chapter 8: The day he knows (2)

With both of them putting their lives on the line, there was an awkward silence in this pure white death room, even the deaf priest felt the tension.
Cale crossed his arms and looked at the girl sitting across from him. No matter how calm his face looked, inside he was trembling in fear, preparing to activate his indestructible shield in case anything happened. .

"So..."

The girl spoke up.

"...You're actually a middle-aged man from another world who swapped souls with my young master, and the fact that you know so many things is because you read a book where this world is like a The story is about the main character Choi Han?"

"That's right, except I don't think 'swapped souls' is the right word when we don't know where Cale's soul actually is."

"That's true but I believe in my hunch, that the two of you have switched souls."

"It's up to you to think."

Another awkward silence occurred.

Cale still observed [____] carefully even though he wanted to leave immediately or look elsewhere because he was afraid that if he turned away for even a second, the girl sitting opposite him would definitely do something bad with him, like attack him or something.

In contrast to the scared red-haired boy, [____] looked at him with eyes full of interest. Her mouth curled into a dangerous smile as if she had found delicious bait, which made the boy even more scared.

"Well, I already know what I want to know the most, so why don't we introduce ourselves now?"

"...Sure"

The boy continued speaking as [____] stared at him, signaling him to introduce himself first.

"My name is Kim Rok Soo, 36 years old."

"What do you look like?"

"Huh?"

"Don't "Huh?" to me, answer the question."

"...I'm just a man with so-so appearances."

"What does "so-so" mean?"

"...Black hair, eye color similar to Cale, slightly pale skin I think, taller than Cale, I don't remember the specific numbers... Overall, nothing too special."

"Hmm.."

[____] thought for a moment then looked back at the boy in front of her and smiled lightly.

"Sounds like you're describing Choi Han."

The boy also looked up at the ceiling and thought about something, perhaps imagining Choi Han's appearance.

"No, if you look at us in person, we're very different."

The boy looked at his arm.

"Choi Han doesn't have that many scars and... my eyes have never been as pure as his..."

The boy unconsciously whispered, not wanting [____] to hear. But unfortunately for him, [____] had very good hearing, though she decided not to ask about it.

A sigh rang out.

"There you go, you know the whole truth, are you going to threaten me in this death room?"

"No."

[____] raised her hand, signifying making a vow to the boy sitting across from her and also to the god of death.

"I will not tell this secret to anyone unless I have your permission or when my life or the life of someone I care about depends on it."
