Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 26

The Villainous Orca Baby (26)

Chapter 26

The White Dolphin Clan, otherwise known as the Beluga Clan.

As I mentioned before, this place had absolutely nothing to do with my previous regressions.

They were as intelligent as the dolphin people, but the clan had already disappeared by the time I returned to the family in my third regression.

The main culprit behind the clan’s demise was none other than ‘Bai Yan’.

The eldest son of my granduncle.

Bai Yan is currently the closest candidate for the position of family head.

To explain this, I need to briefly describe the current direct line of the Orca family.

‘Originally, the Orca family passed down the lineage from grandmother to daughter or granddaughter.’

However, while Grandmother Ocula Aquasiadel was famous as an incredibly powerful figure, she had one flaw.

She couldn’t bear a daughter.

After having three sons in a row, Grandmother suddenly declared:

“I will choose my successor from among my grandsons.”

Naturally, my granduncle and uncle, except for Pierre, protested, but what could they do?

The boss had declared it so.

Realizing they might lose even the chances they had, my granduncle and uncle quickly changed their attitudes.

They immediately turned their attention to their children.

‘In truth, even if they were to pass it down among the sons, they wouldn’t have been confident in beating Pierre anyway.’

Moreover, Grandmother generously added:

“If there is a truly outstanding one, I will consider passing it down to a grandson!”

This was inevitable.

Her sons had all produced mostly dark-haired grandsons, so there was no choice.

The current direct line of the Orca family was unusually blessed with male offspring, leaving her little choice.

In this situation, the one leading the race is my granduncle’s eldest son, ‘Bai Yan’.

The problem is that Bai Yan is not exactly a decent guy…

‘He was cruel and hot-tempered, wasn’t he?’

As I said, even considering the characteristics of this family where strength is everything, the things he did were too cruel for a child before adulthood.

Even my own violent brothers shook their heads, saying his methods were dirty.

‘Especially since all his actions were directed at the weak.’

He secretly loved blood.

So, while he pretended to be innocent in front of Grandmother, he was busy plotting behind her back.

The targets were always vassals like the White Dolphin people.

‘I’m starting to remember.’

In my previous regression, when I had just returned to the family, I remember gathering information to understand this family.

I had forgotten about it for a while because it was no longer necessary, but now that I recall, I remember quite a bit.

‘Including the tragedy that befell the Beluga Clan.’

As I was lost in thought, the training ended.

“Be careful on your way, Gongnyo-nim!” [Gongnyo-nim is a respectful title for a young lady of high status.]

“On your way!”

The Luga Ruba twin brothers, as if it were their own business, waved their hands as they lifted me into the palanquin [a covered litter carried on poles].

As I waved back, I made eye contact with a man with snow-white hair behind the Luga Ruba brothers.

‘Hmm? He looks just like the twins.’

The man also saw me and nodded gently with a smile.

Assuming he was a relative of the twins, I nodded back.

“Appa!” [Korean word for “Dad”]

“Father!”

I was quite taken aback by the following titles.

…No, even considering he’s a beastman, isn’t he incredibly young-looking?

‘I’d believe he was just an older brother with a big age gap.’

I touched my neck in surprise.

‘Come to think of it, the whale beastmen in this world each had their own special abilities, right?’

Just like our Orca beastmen have the ‘power of water’.

Whale beastmen, and even aquatic animal beastmen, each had their own special abilities.

This wasn’t limited to aquatic animals but also applied to the characters in the original story.

That is, the female lead, male lead, and sub-male leads.

Especially the female lead, who had a very special ‘healing power’, which naturally became central as the story unfolded.

Anyway, going back to the aquatic animals, I thought about the special abilities of the Belugas.

‘It’s a bit hazy…’

I was staring at the backs of the father and sons as they walked away.

Then, I was briefly staggered by the weight of someone bumping into me before quickly regaining my balance.

‘I felt someone coming.’

I was too deep in thought and let my guard down.

Turning my head, I saw Caron with a triumphant expression.

What’s with this guy? Has he lost his mind?

“…”

As I stared at him silently with a displeased look, his triumphant expression slightly faded, and his smile became awkward.

I could see the sweat on his face, making me wonder why he did this.

‘Come to think of it, he was smirking with some other guys during class earlier, ignoring me even when our eyes met.’

I know that kind of smile.

And I know the nature of guys like Caron very well.

‘That’s the face of a thug who has gained a reliable backer.’

I moved my neck slightly from side to side and opened my mouth.

“If you’re going to start a fight and then get scared, don’t do it at all.”

“Wh-what?!”

“It makes you look pathetic.”

“…!”

Caron’s face turned red at my words.

Then, he glared at me, panting.

“Y-you must be so happy and smug, huh? That’s gonna end soon!”

“Happy? Would I be happy just from beating up someone like you? It wouldn’t even be a post-meal workout.”

“…Eek!”

No matter how I look at it, this guy is useless.

He’s not strong either.

He’s so stupid it’s a waste of space, easily excitable, and his intentions are transparent.

‘He’s going to die young.’

No wonder I didn’t know that name.

“You can only act so high and mighty now! Soon, huh? The day you get kicked out isn’t far away!”

…Kicked out?

‘What is he talking about?’

I frowned slightly at the incomprehensible words.

‘…If I get kicked out, wouldn’t that be great for me?’

If I can get out safely without doing anything, I don’t have to suffer. Just thinking about it is exciting.

However, he seemed to misinterpret my expression.

Perhaps he thought I was scared, as a smirk appeared on his reddened face.

“Who told you to beat up Bai Yan-nim’s subordinates? No matter how outstanding you are, you’re nothing compared to his feet!”

I beat up Bai Yan’s subordinates? When?

I tilted my head for a moment, then recalled a memory.

Ah, could it be.

“How could the Family Head acknowledge you? If she lets you live, you’ll definitely be a hindrance to Bai Yan-nim’s future.”

There were definitely Orca branch family members who came to where I lived.

‘Those guys who said they followed Bai Yan and tried to kill me.’

He seemed to be talking about them.

Besides them, the only ones I beat up were Caron and my third brother, Agenor.

‘See? I’m a peace-loving pacifist.’

I felt deflated when I realized what was going on.

I just chuckled and waved my hand.

“Ah, yeah, yeah. Go and tell them quickly. Tell them to kick me out soon.”

“Wh-what? Do you think I’m joking? I’m serious!”

“Yeah, yeah. Speak properly. Don’t stutter. Ah, is that too hard for you?”

“Eek…!”

All the children had already left school, so the hallway was quiet.

I thought Caron would run away with his tail between his legs, but no.

His face was red, and he was moving hesitantly.

Then, he ran towards the display case in the hallway.

Whether it was Laila’s taste or Grandmother’s.

There were antique decorations everywhere.

Among them were real swords, which I didn’t know why they were displayed instead of models, and that’s what Caron grabbed.

‘Heh, does he think he can win if he has a weapon? I wonder what’s in his head.’

Even as I thought this, I became cautious.

No matter how strong I’ve become and how much my agility has improved, my body is still a baby’s body.

Being cut by a sword will cause injuries.

Moreover, it’s in the hands of a brute like him. A blind sword is no different.

“I-I won’t let you get away with this…!”

“Shut up and attack. Stop saying lines like a third-rate villain.”

“You!!!”

Uwaaa!

A hideous Orca, who didn’t want to be embarrassed but also didn’t want to back down, came running with all his might.
