Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 116

Black Orca Baby Lord (116)

116

‘Was that my imagination?’

Calypso paused.

Perhaps she had been too immersed in Atlan’s thoughts for a moment, mistakenly superimposing a memory of the past onto the present Atlan.

‘There’s no way Atlan would remember my orders,’ she thought.

However, Calypso shook her head inwardly.

‘That’s impossible.’

Calypso remembered the Atlan of the third timeline clearly, if nothing else.

His death had made it so.

So, Calypso wasn’t mistaken.

‘He remembered the line I clearly stated.’

Many orcas were more impulsive than intelligent.

Because of this, even if they were family members, or especially if they were from different branch families, they often struggled with group combat, failing to cooperate to defeat enemies.

Especially someone like Atlan, who was used to fighting alone, was even more prone to acting before thinking.

To take such individuals to war, Calypso had them trained rigorously to learn.

One of those things was maintaining a proper distance.

Atlan was the largest of his siblings when he became an adult.

To give an example:

There are times when a large puppy still thinks it’s a puppy and rushes at you.

The person on the receiving end finds it cute but can’t escape the ordeal.

Atlan was exactly that kind of person.

He didn’t consider his size and would rush over with affection, so Calypso taught him the proper distance with her fists.

“Do you know about shifting pain points?”

“Ugh…”

“If you tackle me on the stairs one more time, I’ll use you as a carpet on the stairs. Understand?”

It was because he had brought the child of another subordinate, announcing a baby was born.

Atlan had rushed over without thinking and almost sent them all to their doom.

After that, Calypso personally trained him and engraved the rule into him.

There was no way her memory could be wrong.

So, what was the meaning of Atlan’s current behavior?

Calypso clenched and unclenched her hand.

‘I’ll find out from now on.’

Question: Has Calypso Aquasialdel ever seen a regressor other than herself?

To rephrase, has she ever met someone who remembers a previous timeline besides herself?

‘No.’

And unfortunately, Calypso didn’t like uncertainty.

If there was a wrapped box in front of her, she had to unpack it and have a clear answer before her eyes to be satisfied.

It was all because of that damn male lead from the original story.

If Atlan remembered the previous timeline, Calypso would finally have a companion who shared her memories after a long time.

“Atlan Aquasialdel.”

But why?

‘Isn’t this a good thing?’

Calypso wasn’t happy.

Thinking this, her heart sank, even more than at the thought of Atlan remembering her death in the previous timeline.

She would have preferred him to forget everything and live a normal life.

Calypso always complained that her three older brothers had no family or affection.

But Calypso, who said that, knew very well.

That there was already an undeniable deep affection between her and her three brothers.

Even if it started from camaraderie, it was affection.

Whether he knew her feelings or not.

Calypso calmed her turbulent heart and asked calmly.

“Why are you chasing after me?”

It was a question she should have asked a week ago when Atlan’s relentless pursuit began.

Atlan also thought this and made a frustrated expression.

“Why are you asking now?”

Atlan felt wronged. No, he couldn’t help but feel wronged.

Anyone in his situation would feel the same.

“Isn’t that a question you should have asked a week ago?”

The rough tone still had a youthful feel, but it was the same tone Calypso remembered.

But since they were the same person, it was natural for their manner of speaking [말투] to be the same.

“I must have heard something at the funeral, and I thought you were glaring at me since then.”

Calypso had clearly given him a chance.

And she hoped that he would live a normal life this time.

She just wanted him to live more comfortably when she became the head of the family someday.

Of course, the biggest reason was that she didn’t want to face Atlan’s death yet; she wouldn’t deny that.

‘But that’s that.’

Calypso tilted her head loosely.

A hostility that was hard to believe from a child flowed out.

“What does it matter to you if I do what I want? I think you’re misunderstanding something. You’re the one causing trouble, not me.”

Atlan flinched.

“If you hadn’t been chasing me from the beginning, neither I, nor my classmates, nor even your friend here would have been uncomfortable.”

What really angered Calypso wasn’t that Atlan had been chasing her, making even unrelated children feel uneasy.

Until a moment ago, it was because of that, but not anymore.

If… if Atlan really remembered the previous timeline.

‘Why didn’t he say anything?’

The fact that he had been silent until now made her angry.

‘I’m not saying anything, so there’s no way he would say anything. It’s easy to be called crazy.’

Of course, just as Calypso hadn’t thought about it, Atlan probably hadn’t thought that Calypso remembered the previous timeline either.

She thought this in her head, but she still felt overwhelmed.

If that’s the case, he should have come to find her sooner!

Atlan replied in a dissatisfied voice.

“Why should I care about what others think?”

Atlan had also heard the rumors about Calypso Aquasialdel.

Not only that.

He had heard them until his ears were sore. He didn’t know if the rumors were distorted, but from some point on, he heard that Calypso was only looking for strong guys and going around 깨기 도장 [smashing dojos/gyms].

Secretly, his heart was pounding.

‘The strong.’

That Agenor, that giggling guy, was following Calypso around like a leech.

And Bellus, that bastard who acted like he had no interest in anything other than the head of the family, suddenly followed Calypso’s trip to the Dragon City five years ago.

It was kept quiet, but Levin was secretly an informant, so it wasn’t hard to find out that Bellus had directly told the head of the family that he wanted to go with Calypso.

‘Bellus must have already submitted, right?’

Considering all of this, wasn’t it his turn next?

That’s what he thought.

He liked fighting strong guys. He liked winning against them even more.

If it were the usual Atlan, he would have only thought this.

But Atlan had to fight against the memories that popped up in his head strangely from six years ago.

He struggled with memories that were his but not his, and Atlan struggled to use his brain, which he had never used before.

‘Ha, why the hell!’

Because of that, he couldn’t concentrate on the family meetings even though he had great power, and he fell out of favor with his grandmother.

He hated the woman who appeared in his memories.

When he found out that the woman’s name was ‘Calypso Aquasialdel,’ whom he had never even seen, he even hated her.

He was already rumored to be strong, so he wondered if he should go and fight her.

But every time he thought about beating her to a pulp, his body instinctively stopped him, and he couldn’t step forward.

As if he shouldn’t.

Until these memories were completely settled, Calypso was an object of hatred that he couldn’t touch.

“She’s your sister, Atlan.”

So, the method Atlan found was.

“I don’t have a sister.”

It was to treat her as if she didn’t exist. It was a way of ignoring her.

It was an evasion that wasn’t like an orca. But after time passed, Atlan realized.

He realized only after the memories became his. That all of this was inevitable.

The memories weren’t complete.

But were memories and emotions moving together?

The finally revived memories resurrected unexpected regrets and emotions in his heart.

I thought you would definitely, clearly come to find me.

Calypso hadn’t looked for him for five years.

My lord.

I waited for the day I could follow you again, but what am I supposed to do if you don’t find me?

You made me like your weapon.

“If you don’t have expectations, you won’t be disappointed.”

Even if I ignored you, you shouldn’t do that.

“The only one I care about, the only one I follow, the only one I listen to in this world is you.”

Calypso Aquasialdel was always fair.

Atlan was always dissatisfied with that.

Why, I’m following you so diligently, me.

Won’t you look at me?

I always did my best.

“You, you shouldn’t do that to me.”

You shouldn’t do this to me.

The traces of time gradually accumulated on his sharp and fierce face. His face turned red.

“You…!”

Atlan gritted his teeth at the surging injustice and resentment.

“…You shouldn’t do this to me.”

Tears of sorrow poured out from his red eyes.

No expectations.

You shouldn’t do that to me.

Thick tears fell down the handsome boy’s face.

My sister. I only waited for you.

* * *

I blinked my eyes wide.

They say that when people are too surprised, they can’t speak. That’s exactly what it was like.

Why?

Atlan, the second one, sobbing and crying, was definitely not something I expected.

Even if he really remembered the past, I thought he would get excited and jump around because of his personality.

“Hey… Se, Second.”

I was too embarrassed, unlike myself.

“Do, don’t cry. Huh? Why, are you crying?
