SPMB - Side Story 15

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Orsini POV

Recently, Orsini Addis has been into hunting.

When it comes to hunting for an 11-year-old boy, you might think of rabbits, deer, or at best wild boar

'He's coming to catch a black panther."

The butler of the Addis family was amazed as he looked at the corpse of a black leopard with an arrow stuck in its neck.

But he wasn't surprised. Because the opponent was Addis.

Didn't the current Duke of Addis, Alexandre Addis, catch a bear when he was twelve? So even if his 11-year-old son catches a black panther, it will only end in admiration.

"That's great, Master. The leopard skin is in very good condition. How about giving it to Madame as a gift?"

The red-haired boy frowned at those words.

"Gift? This?"

"Yes. Black leopard skin is very valuable. I'm sure she will be happy if you give it to her as a gift."

The boy was lost in thought at the butler's recommendation. Then he quickly shook his head.

"No. I won't give it to my mother."

"Then what about leather care?"

"I will do it, just leave me alone."

"You want to do it yourself?"

"Don't worry, butler."

The butler kept his mouth shut. It looked like Orsinj was planning to give it to someone, but he couldn't guess who.

'Is there anyone that Master Orsini would be worthy of giving a gift to?'

If not Madame, is it the Duke? Or his younger sister Isabelle?

'No. I don't think so.'

Who on earth is this?

***

The opponent was quickly revealed.

“Aaaah!”

The basement of the mansion. A girl's scream rang out. It was the scream of Kanna, the illegitimate son of the Addis family.

"Butler! A dead body, a dead body, an animal dead body at the lab door!"

It was a sight that even the butler was shocked by.

'Unbelievable.'

From the black leopard's head to its tail, the skin, with only the shell-torn off, was spread out in a bloody manner.

'He's doing something like this again!"

He can't believe Orsini using this expensive leather to harass his sister. The butler's head was pounding.

"Uh, butler. Do you know who does this?"

"Yes."

The butler answered honestly.

"Master Orsini came hunting a black leopard yesterday."

".... Is he?"

"That's right."

“Yes. Orsini.”

Kanna muttered in a low voice.

"Orsini did this again."

The butler read deep resentment in that voice.

'It's not possible for them to become good siblings for the rest of their lives.'

The relationship between the two was truly terrible. Orsini hated Kanna, and Kanna hated Orsini.

In some ways, they were siblings, who got along really well.

***

"Young Master. Here is the black leopard skin."

Orsini frowned as he took the hide back.

"Why did the butler bring that?" 

"The Duchess has suffered enough. He even shed tears."

Isn't that the Master's purpose? You have achieved your purpose. 

The butler relayed these words appropriately. But Orsini looked puzzled.

"She was suffering? Why?"

"That's because hunting can feel scary to someone who isn't used to it."

"What?"

At those words, Orsini, who had been lying down, suddenly got up. He looked embarrassed.

"Then why did you ask me to give it to Mom as a gift?"

"If you're thinking of giving it as a gift, you should make it into something like a cape, blanket, or carpet."

"..."

For a moment, the boy's face froze. He looked as if he had been deceived by a butler, but then he grinned.

"Yes? I don't care. Anyway, it's good that the stupid girl cried. It must have been worth seeing."

Anyway, when it comes to personality...

While the butler was clicking his tongue, Orsini roughly grabbed the black leopard skin. Then he throws it into the fireplace.

"Young Master? Why that precious thing......"

"That's enough. It's enough because I made fun of that filth."

Orsini muttered, poking the leather with kindling. 

"There's no need for this kind of thing."

***

Orsini was very angry

'I'm pissed.'

In fact, he wanted to catch a bear.

He heard that his father caught a bear when he was twelve years old. So, if he catches the bear now, he will surpass his father.

'I'm sick of people saying we look alike.'

To Orsini, his father was like the sun hanging on a mountaintop. He was a man who was impossible to reach and even difficult to look at.

The boy's pride was too strong to have such an existence.

'How good do you say you are? I will do that when I become an adult.'

Orsini was filled with the spirit of victory and tried to catch the bear. He thinks then he will surpass his great father.

But the plan collapsed. He encountered a black beast at the hunting ground.

The moment he saw the black fur shining under the sunlight, Orsini was completely dazzled. So, as if he was possessed, he chased after it and caught it.

Is that it? He took off the skin and secretly left it in front of his sister's laboratory.

He just wanted to do that. That shiny black color looks just like her. He thinks if he had to give it to someone, it would have to be Kanna

Orsini couldn't overcome that ridiculous impulse and left the leather behind, and on his way back, his steps were so light.

For some reason, it seemed like he fell asleep smiling that night. However...

"The Lady has suffered enough."

'Good. I'm good.'

Orsini picked the burning leather with kindling. And he thought.

It seems like he wanted to pick on Kanna.

'Because he's a kid who enjoys bullying.'

Scream at the mere sight of a leopard skin? Anyway, she is a pathetic girl. He should have seen that abomination with his own eyes...

'It looks good, idiot.'

The hand that stirred the poker became increasingly rough. Eventually, he couldn't bear the boiling heat and threw it away.

"It's annoying, really!"

Grinning, he took a deep breath.

Angry. In fact, he had been angry for some time.

It's been like that since Kanna behaved wildly like a crazy woman.

From the time she hugged him and smiled brightly as she wanted, and then ran away again.

'What is it? What is it?'

He stomped his feet and breathed heavily.

'Why are you doing this to me!'

She behaves like that, and from then on, she suddenly completely ignores him. Avoid. She act as if nothing happened.

Orsini felt like he was the only one who remembered that moment, so he was unbearably angry.

***

"Hey. What are you doing?" 

Then one day, Orsini discovered Kanna in his patronage.

Kanna was playing alone, bouncing a ball... 

"That's my ball, right?"

The ball he always played with until not long ago. Kanna was holding the ball.

"Why do you have that?"

Is she embarrassed? Kanna muttered for a moment before answering.

"I picked it up."

"You picked it up? Where?"

"Here in the grass."

Then she spoke in a persuasive tone.

"You don't play with it anyway. So now I want to have it."

"..."

Yes, it was. Since Orsinj fell in love with hunting, he hasn't even thought about playing ball.

So he didn't even know he lost the ball until now...

"Whose will it be?"

For some reason, at this moment, Orsini was dying to have that ball.

Orsini asked back fiercely.

"Who gets what they want?"

"You don't play with it anymore. Therefore.......”

"Do not be ridiculous. That's mine. Give it to me."

He thought she would return it right away. Kanna tried to avoid bumping into him as much as possible.

"No."

But for some reason, Kanna insisted.

"Just give it to me. Since you don't play with it anyway......."

"Give it to me!"

Orsini reached out and grabbed the ball. Kanna held on for quite some time, but the moment he pushed her once, the confrontation ended.

"If you want to play with the ball, come to me, ask for permission, and take it. Do you understand?"

He said triumphantly and turned around.

'You'll come to find me, right?'

As he imagined it, a strange feeling of pleasure came over him.

Kanna came to see him first...... 

Orsink felt excited.

'Good. I have to torment you every time."

Because Orsini really hates that kid.

***

But Kanna never came to visit him.

Even after a few days, not a single spot on her nose was shining. Eventually, Orsini got tired of waiting and took extraordinary measures.

"Get me a silk ball."

“Yes?”

"Something pretty."

"Yes?"

"There is such a thing. Something that girls would like. Something shiny."

"..."

The butler looked confused but obediently followed the command. He found a very pretty silk ball with roses embroidered on it.

'If you see this, you won't want it again, right?

It would be worth seeing.

He burst out laughing. Orsini deliberately strolled through the patronage with the ball..

How long has it been like that? Finally, Kanna appeared.

'Come.'

Orsini pretended not to notice and played with the ball.

Bounce it off a tree, bounce it on the ground, throw it, and catch it again...

'Ah, I see..'

He felt Kanna's eyes on his back. He could feel it very sensitively as if it was touching his skin.

Now, Kanna is watching.

The sight of him playing ball.

'You're watching me.'

Orsinj suddenly felt nervous for a moment. It felt like his fingertips were becoming stiff.

"Can't I play with you too?"

Maybe she could talk to him like this.

Then he has to say no. he'll yell that he doesn't want to play with people like her.

"Don't be like that, come play ball with me, huh?"

If it turns out like that, would you mind playing with her at least once?

The corner of Orsini's mouth twitched.

Yes. Because no one is watching anyway. If he wants it that way, at least once...

But the next moment, Kanna turned around like the wind.

"..."

Beat by beat, the sound of footsteps fades away. Then it disappeared completely.

Went.

Gone.

What....?

Orsini's entire body relaxed. 

Tuk. 

The ball falls from his grasp and rolls around helplessly.

'Why.'

Orsini gritted his teeth. His face became hot and flushed. It felt like anger and sadness.

'As expected, I hate her.'

Annoying girl. Orsini hates her the most in the world.

***

Orsini left the silk ball in the back garden and turned away.

'She'll take it.'

Kanna never gave him a second glance.

However, when playing with this ball, she looked at him. That too for quite a long time.

'So, if I leave it here, she will take it.'

Then he should get angry and ask why she stole the ball again. It was a plausible plan.

Orsini visited the silk ball every day, but......

'Why don't you take it?'

The silk ball never disappeared.

It was there, untouched, without even a trace of being touched.

It wasn't until days and weeks passed that Orisnk realized it.

Kanna will not take this ball. She will never touch him again in the future.

"Unlucky bitch."

Orsini couldn't get over his anger and started fuming to himself, eventually stomping on the ball.

The messed up ball looked just like himself.
