Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 124

124

“Of course. We absolutely can’t fail this time. The others all ran.”

The two men had similar hair colors and two long, scar-like tattoos etched on both cheeks.

They were born with these markings.

Moreover, their eyes were sharp, their gazes flickered with a predatory light, like beasts in the dark.

One of them opened his mouth and gnashed his teeth, revealing teeth that were more than twice as sharp as a normal person’s.

In fact, their biting force was tremendous. It was also their primary weapon.

“Ugh, those guys are really a pain in the neck. How the hell did they break through the encirclement and escape?”

“That’s why geniuses are such a headache.”

The intelligence of dolphins was already well known among aquatic beast-people.

However, the reason they were relatively few in number was not only due to their free-spirited nature, which kept them from increasing their population, but also because…

There were forces like these who coveted dolphins.

Although those who controlled this area held their breath, kept a low profile, or ran away under the power of the Orcas.

It was just like the saying in the mainland, that in a mountain where the tiger is gone, the fox acts as king. That’s exactly what it was like.

‘Damn Orcas.’

They were the ones who were constantly aiming for the Orcas’ position.

To be precise, they knew that the Orcas’ influence did not reach every corner of the territory, and they took advantage of the gaps to act important under false pretenses.

Unlike the Orcas, who swept away everything like a tidal wave with their overwhelmingly strong power.

They needed brains.

A very clever mind.

This was not the only reason they were after dolphins.

“Besides, that guy has the ‘key.’”

“Yeah. We have to find it……”

“That’s right. It’s information that the boss worked hard to get. You know what will happen to you and me if we miss this, right?”

“Damn it. Do you think I don’t know?”

One of the men swept his hair back in annoyance. There was a scar on his forehead that looked like it had been stitched up many times.

“The remaining one is also a dolphin. Don’t let your guard down. We must, no matter what, drag him away.”

The more vicious-looking of the two men glared fiercely.

Perhaps they should be grateful that their natural eyesight wasn’t very good.

After the men had completely disappeared, the boy appeared, limping.

“Haa…….”

The boy didn’t even look at the discarded bandage on the floor and walked as fast as he could.

‘I need to get out of here quickly.’

He roughly bandaged the wound, but if those guys smelled the blood again and came back, that would be the end.

The effort to evacuate the others would also be in vain.

The boy walked for a long time, and only when he arrived at a safe place did he slowly close his eyes.

‘I hope my sister and mother arrived safely.’

Like Orcas, dolphins were also animals where the leader of the group was female.

The dolphin beast-people were the same, so his mother, the head of the family, and his sister, the heir, would now be heading to their distant homeland.

There was only one reason why they abandoned their comfortable home and moved.

Because they had fallen into a trap.

‘This is a big problem. I have to go back.’

The boy sighed as he looked at his condition. There was a reason why he had to stay behind while sending his sister and mother away first.

There was something he absolutely had to take responsibility for.

However, the situation was very bleak.

‘Haa. Am I going to die like this?’

Since his physical condition was not good, weak thoughts naturally came to mind first.

His vision was blurring.

‘If I can just go back…….’

I can get treatment. I will be completely healed.

But his thoughts were ahead of him, and his body wouldn’t move.

As he thought that this might be the end, black and white colors seemed to swirl before his eyes.

It was then.

The boy couldn’t hear it because his hearing was numbed by the pain that had worsened while walking.

But in the dark alley, small footsteps echoed.

The sound grew louder as it got closer, but the boy couldn’t move with his eyes closed.

“Looks like I’m involved with sharks again this life?”

The boy was startled by the sudden unfamiliar voice.

He could finally hear the sound.

He couldn’t hear the exact words, but it was enough to know that someone was there.

When did they get here?

“To think I’d get involved with street thugs.”

The boy barely turned his head. It was backlit, but his eyes, gradually adjusting to the light, caught a blurry figure.

There stood a small girl and a tall boy.

“To die alone here, that’s not like you, Levi.”

“…….”

“You have to live tenaciously. You’re not vicious enough yet?”

The boy, Levi, the dolphin beast-person, blinked.

Step by step.

As the girl approached, Levi immediately recognized her identity.

An Orca. And one of the most famous figures of this generation.

Calypso Aquasider!

The girl, who had already made a name for herself with her power alone, flashed a bright smile with her beautifully sculpted face.

Levi stared blankly at Calypso, forgetting his pain without realizing it.

“Hello.”

“……Who, are you?”

Levi asked, even though he knew the girl.

The girl grinned.

“Why are you asking when you know? Am I not famous?”

“…….”

“Besides, you’re smart, so you would have known in advance, right? At least about my existence.”

It was a smile as if she could see right through Levi.

“But I guess I need an introduction? Since it’s our first time meeting.”

When the girl said this, the tall boy standing next to her wore a strange expression.

The girl tapped her chest.

“Calypso Aquasider.”

“…….”

“And a fixer who came to solve your problems.”

Levi wore a blank expression.

……What?

Regardless, the girl smiled brightly and turned to the boy next to her.

“Come on, Second. What are you doing?”

The girl gestured to the boy.

“Working.”

“……Damn it, you brought me here to use me like this.”

“Hey. Why are you complaining? Are you having too easy of a life these days?”

“……You’re the one who’s back to your old ways since coming out.”

“You like it, but you’re acting like this. Hurry up and work.”

“…….”

Levi knew that the boy approaching him was Atlan Aquasider.

Yes, he knew.

The next moment, what happened was something that even Levi, who was said to be a genius among the dolphins, could not have predicted.

“Wh-What are you doing! Cough!”

“Stay still. Do you think I like doing this?”

That Atlan would pick him up like a piece of luggage.

“Second, didn’t I tell you he’s a patient?”

“Ah, that’s why I’m carrying him on my shoulder!”

Levi didn’t think he could communicate with Atlan.

Levi stared at Calypso.

The moment their eyes met, the girl’s eyes flickered.

……Longing?

Levi, who was sensitive to emotions, quickly realized that this emotion was not something that should be shown to him, whom she had just met.

Nevertheless, he didn’t know the reason.

“Wh-What are you doing…….”

Calypso smiled brightly.

“Kidnapping?”

The moment Levi was more than embarrassed and dissatisfied, Calypso asked in a light tone.

As if she was very used to this kind of thing.

“Where is your house?”

* * *

“Is this your house?”

Levi finally let out a languid breath after lying down on the sofa. It was a truly awful experience.

‘It’s shaking……. Motion sickness…….’

These crazy Orcas clearly had no respect or consideration for patients!

As soon as Levi told them his house, these people started running without delay, saying they didn’t have time.

The problem was that, as expected of Orcas, they boasted excellent physical abilities.

Levi had to feel motion sickness as if he had done several somersaults.

By the time he arrived, his face, which had also experienced bleeding, had turned white.

Levi was furious!

“How…… Haa, who treats a patient like this……!”

He groaned and finally complained.

The fact that they were the ferocious Orcas was pushed behind his embarrassment.

Calypso smiled as if wondering what the problem was.

“It’s okay, you won’t die from that.”

“……What?”

“You’re so picky. I know because I’ve been hurt. You have to bleed a lot more than that to die.”

It was a chilling statement to say with a bright smile.

……Do Orcas also learn about the amount of blood loss that leads to death? What a brutal family.

This is a world that a peace-oriented person like himself can never understand.

‘But…….’

It was true that he was alive thanks to them. The pursuers still didn’t know about the existence of this house.

They would only wander around the alley where Levi was for days.

It was clearly a grateful thing.

‘The problem is that those two people are also included in the list of people who know about this house.’

Telling them the house was unavoidable.

Besides, Calypso Aquasider.

‘I’m sure she fought while protecting the Beluga twins.’

Calypso’s brawl five years ago was famous. Levi also knew about it.

He was also surprised by the hidden side.

That person is an Orca, but something is different, and he could tell from the rumors that followed.

This person does not inflict violence on the weak like Bian Aquasider.

It’s not that she’s not interested like Atlan Aquasider over there.

Levi decided to gamble on this fact.

He was already in extreme pain and couldn’t die a lonely death in this alley.

Absolutely.

“……Thank you for helping me.”

Anyway, Calypso seems to be a good person…… If I send her back like this.

“Ah, it’s okay. It’s not free.”

If I send her back…… What?
