      ORCA 5

      ORCA 5 Cover
      by mimi Seeing him twitching his back and acting feeble, he was probably among the weakest of the servants. It was easy to guess, seeing as he not only suffered the same thing as in the morning but also failed to get any food. The fact that the only place he came to, unable to bear his hunger, was a mere lake was incredibly amusing to Orca. How moronic. Even among the mansion's servants, the strong and the weak were bound to exist. There was a clear hierarchical relationship separate from the ranking system…

      ORCA 6

      ORCA 6 Cover
      by mimi Orca glanced once at Niah, who had escaped from being ‘the perverted servant who enjoys skinny-dipping,’ and stood up without much of an answer. With a look that said to follow, he turned his back. He strode along the lake. Even though he wasn't walking fast, his wide strides quickly created distance between them. Because of this, Niah had to get up and jog without a moment to put on his shoes. The grass that had ticklishly touched the soles of his feet soon changed to rough dirt. While busily…

      ORCA 7

      ORCA 7 Cover
      by mimi Pepe looked down at the coughing Niah. His flushed cheeks told him that his claim of being sick was not a lie. He let go of the collar he was holding as if flinging it away and clicked his tongue. Niah, who was thrown a couple of steps to the side, lost his balance and crumpled to the ground. He caught his breath, which had become ragged from making excuses, and dabbed the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. “Stupid fool.” Pepe grabbed the collar covering Niah's nape and forcefully pulled him…

      ORCA 8 Cover
      by mimi Just then, Pepe came running from a distance. He couldn't be seen, hidden by the man's large body, but he could feel Pepe's gruff shouts gradually getting closer. It seemed the servants who had gone to the dining hall were on their way back. There were several sets of footsteps hitting the ground. “Y-young master! What brings you all the way here…!” Orca neither looked back at the servant who approached calling his name, nor did he answer him. He merely clicked his tongue and twisted his…

      ORCA 9

      ORCA 9 Cover
      by mimi Orca's gaze remained fixed on Niah the entire time. ‘Young master…, young master….’ A small, tearful voice cut through the air. A weak force could be felt from the hem of his trousers. It was so frail it seemed as if it would crumble at any moment. Though not clearly visible, hidden by his hair, his forehead, where beads of blood had formed, and everything below it was a complete mess. The fact that he was not the one who had inflicted that wound, and that half of the shed tears were not…

      ORCA 10

      ORCA 10 Cover
      by mimi Orca remained silent until Niah had completely disappeared from his sight. It took a long time for him to vanish as he walked, clinging to the wall. He himself was partly responsible for his physical condition, but he felt no particular guilt about it. On the contrary, he just found it amazing that such a naive goldfish had managed to stay alive and become a mansion servant. A curiosity arose as to whether he was a creature who, despite being sickly, possessed a surprisingly tenacious life force. It was…

      ORCA 11

      ORCA 11 Cover
      by mimi Thanks to observing what he was doing after putting down the book midway, he had expected this, but it was still a bit much. However, the goldfish, perhaps relieved after seeing him drink, let out a small sigh of relief. It wasn't the time to be relieved, which was absurd. “Young master. In that case, I will… uh…. go outside and, wait.” To think he would make a poisonous substance and then say he would go out. “Where are you going. Stay there.” Niah stopped backing away and…

      ORCA 12 Cover
      by mimi Orca used his honey-slicked fingers to part the goldfish's lips. What can I do about what's already done, he thought. Niah, surprised by something he had never experienced in his life, reflexively pulled his face back. As the warmth that had touched his cheek disappeared, he felt a faint chill. “……” It seemed to be because of the young master, who was looking down at him without a word. The sweetness remaining on his tongue was the same as the taste of the pancake he had eaten…

      ORCA 13

      ORCA 13 Cover
      by mimi Starting the next day, Niah’s duties included not only tending to the garden and the greenhouse but also attending to Orca. All of the tasks that Bailey used to do were passed on to Niah. Bailey, feeling resentful, taught Niah the work with an even more insincere attitude than when he had taught him how to brew tea. The main tasks included arranging the bedding, attending to baths, running errands, cleaning, organizing laundry, and preparing for teatime. In truth, the work was not particularly…

      ORCA 14

      ORCA 14 Cover
      by mimi At some point, the keenly sharpened senses were focused in one place and poured down. If senses had weight, the goldfish would not have been able to bear it and would have collapsed long ago. Every subtle movement the goldfish made stimulated his nerves. “Niah. You have to be a good boy.” Orca tried his best to calmly soothe Niah. It was a waste of time to torment a body that ailed for two days from just a cold wind. A punishment that used up all the condensed milk on the table would be…
