Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 114

114

It wasn’t a mistake.

A round water stain appeared on my leg.

It was just a single drop, but I didn’t miss it.

‘Right now, I can make water?’ I clenched and unclenched my hand.

“Eckion, can you do that again?”

I lowered my voice, just in case.

Ajenor seemed lost in thought and didn’t seem to notice.

“How did you do it?”

“……Time?”

“Time?”

Eckion tried to explain, but I couldn’t tell if a high-level explanation was still difficult for him, or if the explanation itself was difficult.

‘Even I wouldn’t be confident in teaching someone the power of water.’

My dad, who taught me to handle the power of water, which is close to instinct, was amazing.

“Calypso, do you need me?”

Knowing something and teaching it to others is another thing entirely.

“Yes, I need you.”

I nodded slowly.

Then I grabbed Eckion’s hand again.

“But even if I didn’t need you, if I faced your situation, I would have definitely helped you.”

“…….”

I tried again, holding Eckion’s hand, but no more water came out.

‘What’s the principle?’

While I was thinking hard, Ajenor raised his head.

“What’s wrong? Sister. You have a serious face. What’s wrong?”

“No, it’s nothing…….”

I shook my head and said.

“You’re the one who’s suddenly lost in thought?”

At my question, Ajenor hesitated, an expression that didn’t suit him, who usually had sparkling eyes full of obsession.

“I was thinking about Atlan.”

“……Since when have you been so affectionate? Should I send you to him?”

“What are you talking about! Only my sister can hit me!”

“……I’m not grateful at all, so keep talking.”

Ajenor, who had been jumping up and down, hummed and said slowly.

“You said you needed a lot of talented people, so I was worried. ……But Atlan is strong, isn’t he? Don’t you need him?”

I was a little surprised.

“What’s wrong? You’re actually admitting that he’s good?”

“…….”

“You always told me to beat him to a pulp.”

Then Ajenor hesitated.

He seemed to be forcing himself to say something he didn’t want to say.

“I think I’m good at applying the power of water like Master.”

“So?”

“……I said it because I don’t think I can do it like him, well. Besides, sister, you said it too, but what you’re trying to do is quite difficult…… wouldn’t it be good to have him?”

“You hate him?”

“If I’m with my sister, I can stand it.”

He said he would endure something he hated, so I thought this guy had grown up.

I stared at Ajenor and blurted out.

“You can just get stronger.”

“What?”

“I trust you, Ajenor.”

“…….”

I chuckled.

“You’re embarrassed.”

“If you know, will you hit me a little?”

“……Just go and do a hundred straight punches.”

I felt something rustling in my arms, and when I turned my head, Eckion was already fast asleep.

When did he fall asleep?

I blinked, looking at the pretty boy sleeping like an angel—no, like a water fairy in a fairy tale.

He was pretty, but I felt a little strange that he suddenly fell asleep as if he had fainted.

‘Could it be because he used his power on me earlier?’

While I was worrying about this… I suddenly realized.

‘Wait, he’s been sleeping a lot lately… Is this normal?’

Even if it wasn’t now, I remembered that Eckion had been sleeping a lot lately.

It was a bit strange.

‘I might have to look into Tus’s notebook again.’

It seems like it’s time to study the Dragon Duke again.

Anyway, it’s a peaceful face.

I gently stroked Eckion’s hair and smiled slightly.

“It’s okay, you don’t have to worry. Atlan will live well even if he doesn’t come under me.”

“Well, it’s a relief if it works out well.”

“And Eckion is sleeping, so speak quietly.”

Ajenor paused.

“……The favoritism is getting worse. Sister, what are you going to do if it gets out of hand?”

“What are you talking about?”

Ajenor tilted his head, having already erased his impressed expression.

“……I don’t know, but I feel like I understand a little bit what Master is worried about these days.”

“What are you talking about? I can’t understand you unless you speak like a human, Ajenor.”

Ajenor shrugged instead of saying more.

“Anyway, I hope Atlan’s matter works out well as my sister decided.”

I don’t know if it will.

“In my opinion, Atlan already has crazy eyes.”

Ajenor ended his words with a strange expression.

Just curse him.

I frowned but couldn’t get up because of Eckion.

* * *

……And I felt that Ajenor was right just three more days later.

I realized.

‘I overlooked it. He’s not someone who gives up easily just because I ignore him.’

I guess I forgot for a while that peaceful times had continued a little.

The tenacity of the killer whales, especially my three older brothers, and the obsession of not letting go once they bite.

But at this point, I also got stubborn.

‘Where are you fighting?’

Even if we fight, I had no intention of approaching him first and fighting him.

Me, Calypso. I’ve never lost in tenacity and poison.

As a few more days passed, and the people around me became haggard rather than the parties involved in the battle of nerves between me and him, I made a decision.

‘……Shall I kill him?’

No, calm down. Calm down.

I started to feel genuinely angry.

‘You’ll pay dearly for making me come forward first.’

I know what kind of reaction he’ll show when he loses, and it’s an overestimation if you think I’ll match that predictable scenario.

Subordinate? Underling? Who would accept it?

If anything, Ajenor saw my gloomy face yesterday and groveled on his own.

“I’m sorry!”

“What for.”

“……I actually hadn’t seen my sister’s really angry face yet.”

And so today. It was a time when Atlan hadn’t come to find me.

Of course, he hasn’t come yet, but he’s about to bother me as he has for the past week.

I’m standing here with the determination to settle things this time, but what’s this?

Instead of Atlan, someone unfamiliar came to find me.

“Um, hello. Princess?”

Most whale people raised their voices to the killer whale direct line first.

However, in principle, students within the intermediate institution were equal, so it was not strange for a human with an upperclassman badge to greet me like this.

Besides, it was when Lugaruba and Ajenor were away for a while, and I was alone.

“Who are you?”

“Ahaha, you’re as prickly as I’ve heard…….”

The person in front of me seemed to be between a boy and a young man.

He’s an 8th grader, so he’s probably about to come of age soon.

Overall, he had dark gray hair and a horn-like pattern that seemed to bulge only in the middle of his head.

“What’s a narwhal doing here?”

Then the boy blinked his eyes wide.

“Wow, you recognize me right away? Do you know a lot about narwhals?”

“I know more than you think. I’m leaving if you have nothing to say.”

“Ah, ah! Wait, wait, junior!”

The moment the boy grabbed my wrist, I flexibly pulled it out and kicked the boy to the ground.

“Don’t touch my body carelessly. Didn’t you learn not to approach people like me carelessly?”

Most whales would learn not to pick a fight with killer whales for no reason, right?

The boy looked at my hand approaching his neck and smiled awkwardly, ahaha.

He had a flexible face.

“Sorry, sorry. But can you listen to my story just once?”

Narwhal.

I narrowed my eyes.

‘It’s a family I wanted to see at least once.’

There was a narwhal among my subordinates in the 3rd round.

Their special skills were of great help to me at the time.

However, by the time I had already recruited them, it was a pity that the narwhal clan was not completely gone like the beluga, but almost dead and not much left.

“I’ll give you exactly one minute. I’m just going to leave if your words aren’t worth listening to.”

“Ah, that’s enough.”

The boy smiled affably.

“First of all, I’m Levin Monoceros, a narwhal.”

“Head of the family! Ah, why do I always smile like this? It’s just… my dead brother always told me to smile.”

“Is your brother Ladas?”

“Huh? How do you know my first brother? Have you ever seen him?”

Of course, I know. I wasn’t happy to meet the past ties like this, but I decided to listen to the story first.

“I’m Atlan’s friend.”

And what I heard was a story I never expected.

“Would you like to help Atlan?”
