"Your image is that of an idiot. It would be fitting for you to be a bit more foolish," Nellie wrinkled her nose and humphed softly, clearly expressing severe dissatisfaction with Pannis's self-assessment, "Can you blame me for misunderstanding? Why don't you clarify what exactly it is that tempted you?"
"Well... how should I put this, when you mimicked Danacus and proposed that deal, I suddenly had a thought," Pannis said with a wry smile, "I was thinking, just if, and I mean if, Danacus really did revive and took over your body, would he agree to the trade if I proposed it?"
