Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 130

Chapter 130

I stared at Atlan with suspicious eyes.

‘Turns out, he has K-Joseon [Korean Dynasty] blood in him, why is he even asking about age?’

I glared at Atlan once and turned my head. I smiled at Ilia and said,

“How did the discussion go?”

“Yes, well….”

Ilia slightly bowed her head to me, glancing at Levi instead of answering.

“May I speak?”

Levi shrugged with a relieved look.

“Levi and the boy he brought will be protected by our Beluga family.”

“Okay.”

So that’s how it turned out. It wasn’t surprising since I expected it.

However, when we entered the room, Ilia didn’t seem to trust them, so I was curious about what kind of conversation took place.

‘I sent Atlan in just in case.’

I didn’t think a physical conflict would occur, but even if it did, Atlan would be able to mediate it.

Well, rather than mediation, it would be closer to knocking both of them to the ground. But that’s still something.

Wherever we go, as long as we end up in Seoul, right?

“Considering how one side looked at the other like an enemy when we went in, the discussion went well?”

“Yes, I wondered why the son of a friend I’ve known since childhood was glaring at me like an enemy, but there was a reason.”

Ilia said, glancing at Levi.

One of the dolphins’ allies turned to the sharks and betrayed the dolphins?

‘If there’s a traitor among acquaintances, anyone would be suspicious.’

The feeling that you can’t trust anyone in the world, I know it well. I shrugged.

“Even though you’ve known each other for a long time, it seems like you haven’t completely resolved all the suspicions, so treat them well.”

“Yes, it seems so. It felt like being interrogated after a long time. Even the dolphin leader, who is my friend, doesn’t treat me like this.”

“…Ugh. I already apologized.”

“Of course, of course. I’m going to be generous and let it go. Of course, I did wonder when the dolphin leader changed?”

Ilia, like Lugaruba’s mother, unleashed a barrage of harsh words with a calm face and then dusted off her hands.

“Shall we proceed with the move right away?”

“Okay.”

That’s how Levi and Whale’s residence was decided.

‘Now it’s almost done. I should arrange a meeting between Dad and Whale soon.’

It felt like everything was resolved well.

I was in such a lighthearted mood, but a slight incident occurred before Levi and Whale left.

“Hey!”

After deciding to part ways, it was time for Whale and Levi to leave with Ilia.

However, instead of leaving, Whale grabbed my sleeve.

I blinked.

‘Grabbing the sleeve is similar to our Yongyong [onomatopoeia for a baby’s clinging action]?’

Perhaps because seeing this boy reminded me of Ekion, I didn’t get angry or annoyed.

I didn’t shake him off and just stared at him as if asking what he was doing.

“What’s wrong?”

“Aren’t you taking me and hyung [older brother or respected male figure] with you?”

I pondered and said.

“Broadly speaking, aren’t I taking both you and Levi in?”

It’s just that I can’t take you right away.

I didn’t say it because I thought Levi would tell Whale this kind of story.

I pondered a bit more and then approached Whale.

Whale seemed flustered by my sudden approach. Regardless, I grabbed Whale’s collar and pulled him close.

“Oh my.”

“…What are you doing!”

Taking advantage of the others’ surprise, I whispered to Whale so only he could hear.

“Why? Isn’t that person a good person?”

“…He, he is a good person.”

“Then it’s fine.”

I took my mouth away from Whale’s ear and faced him again. I smiled, still holding his collar.

“Just wait a little, kiddo. If you wanted to live with me, you should have said so?”

“……”

Since this child is a living cure, it would be best to keep him next to Dad.

I was already thinking about whether I could move him as soon as possible.

Someone grabbed my hand holding Whale’s collar. Looking back, it was Levi.

“Are you threatening the child?”

“Of course not. We’ve become a little closer.”

“…When exactly?”

“While you were having a cozy conversation with Ilia?”

I loosened my grip as if I wasn’t trying to threaten him.

“It’s time to say goodbye now.”

I raised my hand that Levi wasn’t holding and waved it casually.

“I wanted to ask too, why aren’t you taking us in directly?”

“I wanted to ask you, didn’t you think that far ahead?”

“……”

“If I take you right now, it’ll be noticeable. Do you want to face the sharks in the middle of the night?”

“……”

“It seems like you knew, what do you want to ask?”

Levi moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but then sighed softly.

“It’s nothing.”

It was a bland ending to the incident.

* * *

Levi just wanted to ask.

‘Why do you speak as if you know me so well?’

That’s right. Knowing about him, that’s possible.

Yes. He was a dolphin, and he was a standout talent among dolphins, even in educational institutions, so it’s possible to know.

However, Calypso Aquaciadel didn’t stop there, but also his personality, values, beliefs….

She spoke as if she knew everything about the being called Levi.

As if she had been watching him from the side for years.

It was unfamiliar.

‘Besides, Whale, who doesn’t give his heart to anyone except me….’

Whale, who seems kind and polite to everyone but doesn’t easily open his heart, grabbed Calypso’s sleeve in just a few minutes.

“Isn’t it strange?”

Looking up, it was already the hallway.

It was the way to the room where Ilia’s family, the Lova and Lugaruba twins, were.

Ilia Beluga smiled slightly as if she knew Levi’s worries.

She was someone she knew well as her mother’s friend. She wasn’t usually someone who smiled so often.

“Children who see Calypso-nim [honorific suffix] all show similar reactions. They don’t know what to do because they like her so much, are you becoming like our kids?”

“What do you mean?”

“Falling in love at first sight isn’t a strange thing.”

What on earth is this nonsense? Levi’s face immediately contorted.

It was completely unfounded.

“Don’t tease me. It’s not like that.”

“Really? It’s a shame if it’s not. But the children who meet her all show similar reactions.”

“……”

Ilia briefly recalled the past five years ago. The time when she first met Calypso.

“But it’s not just the kids.”

Ilia bluntly tapped her chest.

“Strangely enough, that person shakes even my adult heart?”

“……”

“So, put aside the things you find strange for a while. Now is not the time to rest comfortably. Our kids are excited to see you after a long time.”

“……”

“You’ve worked hard.”

Only then did Levi lower his gaze.

Yes, what this sense of incongruity was, he could find out by meeting Calypso again.

Wasn’t his ‘specialty’ an ability that existed for this kind of thing?

“Yes, thank you.”

* * *

‘What to do.’

Agenor had many complaints recently. Or, whether to call it a complaint or anxiety, he didn’t know.

“Soon, a newbie, no, a new member will be coming. I’ll introduce them to you.”

Recently, Calypso has been aggressively recruiting people.

He felt like he could count the people Calypso had charmed on one hand.

The problem was that, in Agenor’s eyes, they were either all top-notch or, if they were weak, they had unique talents.

Or they had abilities that could be used as usefully as herrings.

“Master.”

When learning from his father and master, Pierre, the place was always Pierre’s residence.

But he didn’t just learn in the garden or the training ground attached to the residence like before.

There was a huge space underground in Pierre’s residence. Sometimes, secret training was done here.

“Am I a useless guy?”

Then, Pierre, who was standing nearby, turned his head.

In Pierre’s hand was a book, and the title of the book was this:

<1000 Ways to Talk to a Daughter Approaching Puberty>

“……”

He kept catching sight of the book title, but Agenor decided to quietly ignore it for now.

…Isn’t Calypso far from reaching puberty?

Anyway, Pierre willingly closed his book for his third son and disciple.

This was a great improvement compared to when he used to ignore his words unless they were absolutely necessary.

“If you’re asking if you’re a useless guy as a normal question.”

“……”

“That’s right. By my standards, you’re a useless guy.”
