SPMB - Side Story Chapter 21
My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone
"Orsini."
Oops, Orsini took a deep breath. H raised his head.
"Can't you hear me?"
Alessandro was looking at him with unpleasant eyes.
"I asked what you wanted to drink."
"..I am."
Orsini opened his lips. His voice was so deep that it cracked and came out.
"For me, water is fine."
"Strange guy. Is that something to worry about for a long time?"
Alessandro turned again. He moves his steps after stopping for a moment and enters the kitchen.
Looking at the back, Orsini let out a heavy breath.
'I'm crazy.'
He can't believe he's imagining attacking him. He said, 'I'll give you something to drink.' As Orsini looked at the person who turned his back on him, he felt a rush of murderous intent.
'Damn it, why are you provoking me like that?'
That person was the one who provoked him by asking if he wanted to kill him.
Then he shows his back so defenselessly. Did he really want to fight with him?
He doesn't know.
Orsini just can't figure it out.
He must wanted to get it over with. This conflict, this pain. It would be better if that man disappeared.
There is only one person who can bring him to this abyss.....
Because it will only be Kanna.
'Kanna.'
As soon as his thoughts reached her, his grip naturally relaxed.
Clink!
Orsini threw his fork on the floor. Then he kicked off the chair and stood up. He strode towards the door.
He has to leave.
Right Now. Before he does something stupid.
Before he does something that will end his life if it gets into Kanna's ears.
“Uh, Lord Orsini No, Duke of Addis?”
The moment Orsini opened the door, he ran into Claude. Claude said, smiling brightly.
"It was nice to meet you. There is a sweater I made with the Duke in mind, and you have the opportunity to purchase it for just 500 gold..."
As he was about to pass by, Alessandro followed.
"Claude. You're here."
"Yes. Orsini, are you going with us?"
Are they going together? Where? Come to think of it, Claude was carrying his fishing rod around his shoulder.
"We're going fishing."
Alessandro was also holding a fishing rod.
"Are you going too?"
There are so many different things. Orsini was astounded and snorted.
"Who said that?"
"Then, please clean up after yourself."
"I beg your pardon?"
"Wash the dishes and clean the kitchen."
"..."
"If you've eaten delicious food, it's polite to do so."
Delicious food, he has no conscience.
Alessandro tapped Orsini on the shoulder.
"I'm going to catch a big fish, so clean it up."
***
"Holy shit."
What on earth is this crazy kitchen?!
Orsini didn't notice it because he was so busy earlier, but the kitchen was literally bombed.
Orsini was struggling with the mop in his hand and eventually threw it away.
"I will not! Why am I doing something like this?"
He wasn't coming to this stupid town in the first place. The moment he turns around like that.
'For a moment.'
Orsini discovered something.
He saw a glass bottle containing seasoning and a small glass bottle that seemed to be hidden behind it. Orsini was convinced the moment he opened the lid and smelled it.
'This is a hallucinogenic drug.'
It was a drug he was once addicted to.
'Why does he have this?'
Orsini thought for a moment and put it in his pocket.
Kanna absolutely hates people who do this. If she found out that he was using these drugs, her affection might drop...
"Oh, damn it."
Cursing comes out naturally.
It's so ugly and so mean.
The one who fell in love with Kanna was himself.
***
"This is the squid I just caught yesterday! Buy squid!"
Orsini's mind was racing the whole time he left the house and walked.
"How about these clams for dinner tonight! Buy clams, they're fresh!"
That person and hallucinogens? There's no way it can match.
He said he was so weak that he looked like an asshole in front of Kanna, so he looked for this medicine.
"Asparagus is good for your health! Let's eat asparagus and become healthy!"
But isn't Alessandro Addis strong?
He can't imagine a person like that being pushed into such a corner that he would seek out a drug like this.
But why do this......?
"Tomato! Tomatoes are half-price!"
Why......?
"There you are. Carrot Bachelor! Go buy some carrots! Your younger brother is a picky eater! You need to change his picky eating habits!"
It's so noisy Orsini can't think!
He crossed the marketplace nervously. He's really sick of this kind of village.
Why on earth did that person settle down in a place like this? Orsini can't understand the dark inside...
"..."
The next moment, Orsini's footsteps stopped. Then he slowly turned his head.
At the end of his gaze was a merchant.
He was a young man with brown hair and an ordinary look, so there wasn't a single thing that stood out.
'That guy, that guy?'
The report on the Southern Continent relic merchant that Sylvien gave him was a merchant who exactly matched his impressions.
As they got closer, the merchant smiled.
"Hello, Sir. Are you here to buy something?"
At that moment, he realized.
Sylvien's information was real.
"What is this?"
When Orsini pointed to the items displayed on the counter, the merchant smiled secretly.
"This is a healing potion. If you drink it, your stamina will rise, and if you pour it on a wound, the sore skin will heal instantly."
At first glance, It was just junk.
"And this is an attack scroll. If you tear this paper, a fiery arrow comes out. It is powerful enough to destroy a mansion."
It just looked like moldy parchment.
To the eyes of someone who doesn't know anything, it will look like trash that shouldn't be given away. If they heard the explanation, they would pass by and curse him, calling him a fraud.
But Orsini had no doubt that this was a relic from the Southern Continent.
"Buy them all. And what is this?"
Because of that white stone.
A pure white stone was placed in the corner of the display case. Holy power was flowing from that stone.
"Ah, this is a holy stone. It is a stone with sacred power."
Orsini's lips parted. Does something like this exist in the world?
'If a stone has divine power...'
At that moment, a strong desire bloomed in his heart.
This is Kanna's. This is something Kanna needs. Isn't Kanna's life absolutely dependent on divine power? So, she would be very happy if he gave her that.
Maybe they can get over the fact that he burned the letter and went crazy.
Is that it? If he goes further, she might be very happy. She might smile brightly and say.....
"Thank you, Orsini."
At that moment, his lower body became stiff. Just by imagining it, it happened.
Only once did Kanna smile brightly. When he was a very young boy.
That was the first and last time.
If only once, just once, he could see Kanna smile at him like that...
"I'm sorry, but we don't sell this."
At that moment, his sweet imagination was shattered. Orsini frowned.
"What?"
"It's so precious. Please understand that this is not for sale."
No. That won't work. He must own that sacred stone. Must. No matter what happens.
Even if it means killing that merchant...
"Let them run wild for now."
Damn it.
Orsini swallowed his curse
"Are you sure you don't want to sell it?"
"Yes, none.
"I'll give you whatever you want. So sell it."
"I don't like it."
"Think again."
The heat was boiling. Has he ever asked for a favor like this in his life? But Orsini suppressed his pride and repeated his request.
"I'll give you anything you want."
"You are saying dangerous things. Do you know what I want?"
"It doesn't matter what."
"Well, if you say so..."
The merchant's eyes sparkled.
"Please cut off a part of your body."
Then he quickly scanned Orsini's whole body.
"Any part is good. If you will cut off the body, I will hand over the sacred stone. Absolutely nothing else."
Before he could finish speaking, Orsini took out his dagger and struck it down.
Suddenly, a lightning-like pain flashed through his left little finger, but he gritted his teeth and held it back.
"Here, take it."
"Oh my God."
"Take it."
"Are you crazy? How could you really do this?"
"Shut up and give me that."
"Oh, no. I'm thinking of selling this stone to someone else..."
"Are you going to change your mind now?"
Orsini smiled, showing his teeth. Then he held up his hand, which was dripping with blood..
"I already cut it?"
The merchant's face turned pale.
Orsini glared at him with evil eyes...
"Then I will reward you with your fingers."
Bang!.
He put the dagger down on the display stand.
"Cut."
He spoke quietly and softly.
"Or, can you cut it for me?"
"..."
There was no answer. The merchant was completely entranced. His spirit was so broken that he was trampled without any form.
"It looks like the deal is done."
Orsini tied the cut area tightly with a handkerchief to stop the bleeding. Then he picked up his holy stone.
"This is mine now."
***
"Orsini, this bastard is really....... ."
Kanna walked through the village. Where on earth is Orsini stuck?
"Take a look before the burning colt burns to death."
Sylvien said that and told her about this place.
This is where Alessandro lives!
'What are you going to do if you run into Alex?'
Kanna was nervous. She wasn't planning on meeting Alex until he asked her first...
If she meets him, she will be in trouble.
'Okay, I don't want to bother him anymore.'
Kanna bit her lips tightly. What on earth should she do with Orsini?
It would have been easy if it had been like before.
It must have shattered his heart. Be grateful for having him by her side, she would have said and trampled on him.
But she didn't want to do that anymore.
Is this sympathy or love-hate?
What is clear is that she does not want to hurt Orsini like before.
One way or another. Orsini was hers. Isn't it natural to want what's hers to be intact?
"Ah, you mean that young man? The brother of a young man living in a mansion by the sea?"
While asking the villagers about Orsini's whereabouts, a merchant gave a clue.
But what about a young man?
"Aren't you talking about that handsome red-haired young man? A young man who hates carrots."
Could it be that that brazen young man is Alex?
"That young brother came to visit. The rumor spread throughout the village."
"Do you know where that person went?"
Then the merchant raised his finger.
"Excuse me. I saw him enter the inn room. But it looks like he got hurt somewhere?"
"Yes?"
"He had a bandage on his hand."
"..."
Is He hurt? Orsini?
Who in this town could hurt that guy?
'There's no way Alex did that.'
Yes, so she must have seen it wrong. There's no way that guy could get hurt.
What if he chose to hurt himself?
claude is seriously thee best omg. every interaction w him is just so fun. I wish he was parta the harem. we need to fill the adorable goof vacancy!
ReplyDeleteI'm conflicted with that. Part of me do want Kanna's harem to expand yet I do want Claude to have a better life than just being another harem of Kanna.
Deleteyou're right bc we have the damn all else for her type, the tsundere, the yandere, the aloof cynic, and the hopeless devotee. we're only missing the goofball! bring claude into the love fest!!
