Episode 321 Chapter 57: Damgal Toywol (7)

Damgal Toywol (7)

Despite Damgal Toywol's words about bringing down the World Tree, Baek Yu Seul remained calm. Pleased with the indifferent reaction, Damgal Toywol stood up and said,

"It's a dull view from here, so it might be boring for you. Want to see it together?"

"I'm not particularly interested."

"That's a shame. It's quite entertaining."

"I don't think you really mean that."

"...What?"

At Baek Yu Seul's retort, Damgal Toywol glared at him with twitching eyebrows, but Baek Yu Seul casually sipped his coffee.

"I'm more interested in you. It's not easy to meet a Twelve Divine Moon in human form."

"That's funny. Coming from someone blessed by three of the Twelve Moons."

"That's why I'm even more curious. Ignorant humans know nothing about you, so they have no curiosity. But having met the Twelve Moons, I am even more intrigued. What kind of times have you been through? How have you lived? What are you thinking now?"

"Haha, is that so? But aren't you and I not close enough to talk about personal stories? If you're curious about my private life, why don't you share yours first?"

"My story..."

A choice appeared.

Baek Yu Seul intuitively knew.

If this situation were viewed from the perspective of a 'dating simulation,' options might have appeared like this:

Talk about school days.

Recall childhood.

Talk about the truth of the world.

Say nothing.

Talking about school days or childhood is pointless, so those choices are set aside, leaving two options. The choice to say nothing is also excluded. To make him speak, an 'intriguing bait' is needed.

"...Actually, this is not my first life."

First, he mixes lies and truths to spread bait. Vague words that anyone can interpret in various ways, and Baek Yu Seul will remain silent about it.

"Does that mean this is your second life? Can I take that to mean you've been reincarnated?"

"I've shared one thing, so it's only fair for you to share something too, right? If you don't want to, we can end the conversation."

"Are you suggesting a trade?"

"Yes. Just as I'm interested in you, it seems you are too. It's best to make a mutually beneficial exchange."

"Can I trust your words?"

"You have the ability to discern the truth and lies in a mere human's words, don't you?"

"That's the same for you."

"Yes."

When Baek Yu Seul said that and looked at him silently, Damgal Toywol snapped his fingers. Then something fell onto the table with a clatter.

Plates, bowls, trays, and other dining utensils appeared one by one, followed by various foods such as golden-brown grilled meat, drinks, bread, and cake.

"You might be bored, so have a meal while you listen."

Baek Yu Seul held a fork and gently rubbed it with his thumb. Anyone else might think it was a silver fork, but it was actually 'earth.'
