The Possession

Intro: At the current time, the kerosine lamp radiates sunset light inside the room. Lying in the bed and half of his body under the white blanket, the boy Shin, son of Niavera Shau, listens at his mother voice, coming from outside the room,

"I'll be going now. Make sure he can rest well."

"Yes, ma'am," has replied by a woman.

The door opens. He gazes at the woman, carrying a tray of foods, eating utensils, and a pitcher. She closes the door. Placing the tray in a table near the bed, she speaks, "Good evening, Shin, how are you?"

"I'm fine..." He gazes at, under the blanket, his bandaged arm. His forehead wrinkles. His nose gusts his dismay. "I'm being confined here for two months. That was what Cristia had told me."

"It's Criselia."

"This place is boring. Why aren't mother and Ritzel resting? That's unfair."

"Come on, now. Shin, cheer up. I'm here. Your sister's loyal follower and her group mate, shall accompany you to your loneliness."

"You made me feels weird."

"Just agree, now little boy. I Chalise, shall be your big sis. Or, you prefer Ritzel should be by your side right now? So?"

"Shut up. It's not like that..."

"Speaking of which, she'll be coming here tomorrow to visit her prince charming."

"Who's prince charming?"

"You, of course."

"Huh—?" With his face in red, his head emits smoke, "A, a, are you here to cheer me up?"

"You're blushing."

"I'm not! And why would I court that arrogant brat! She's not even a good girl in the first place! Look, she accused me twice! If she'll grow with that kind of attitude, no one will like her."

"You're showing your true feeling, by trying to deny things."

"Grah—!"

"But worry not. She improves as she grows. How about it, I'll give you some questions to cheer you up. In an ancient times there was this huge cooler container that existed. So, in what way, you could put in the ancient giraffe inside the container?"

"... Huh? What's with the question..."

"Just answer it."

He thinks carefully. After his failure attempts, he has finally come to a conclusion, "I open the door, let in the giraffe inside, and close the door."

"Finally, right!"

The boy laughs. "The hell with that question... I though carefully, and just come up with, stupid answer. Where did you get it?"

"Secret. Now now now, for the next question. In the ancient times, there was this huge cooler container existed. In what way you could put in the ancient elephant inside?"

He laughs as the woman laughs. "The same. I open the door, let in the elephant inside, and close the door. What a stupid question."

"Enk, enk, Wrong!"

"Eh? Then how?"

"You need to open the door, let out the giraffe outside, let in the elephant inside, and close the door." They both chuckles. "Now now, in my next question. In the ancient times, the ancient lion, king of the jungle, had flirted to its illegal concubines. His wife ran away, pledging that will never be back and will look and live for a loyal man. The downhearted lion king called every leader of every species and wanted them create an entertainment for him. Now, there was this one leader failure to be present. Whose species is this?"
