Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 17

The Black Whale Baby (17)

I tilted my head slightly and spoke.

“What kind of investigation?”

The servant bowed slightly.

“We will conduct a thorough investigation into the previous predecessor.”

“Ah, really? But… investigations need witnesses, right? It seems I’m the only one who can do that. I’ve been using this building alone for quite a while.”

The orca branch family child who was here for a short time was soon secretly taken away by their parents.

Since that kind of thing wasn’t uncommon, I was left alone.

Ah, of course, the reason I brought this up is.

‘Since I’m the only witness, they’re saying they’ll bury it if I don’t attend.’

They don’t actually intend to investigate; they just want me to answer well now.

“Th-that’s right. There may be a time when we need to ask for Calypso-nim’s help…”

“Yes, I’d be happy to. Other children might have been harmed.”

That maid had been here for a very long time, even before I came here.

So there might have been something more.

‘You should never let anyone who hits children get away with it.’

Suddenly, Caron flashed through my mind, but I quickly shook off thoughts of that self-inflicted guy.

I glanced at the servant and gently grabbed Misa’s sleeve.

I originally wanted to hold her hand, but I wasn’t tall enough.

“And as I said, this person will be my nanny. I can just say that, right?”

“……Yes.”

“I’m glad the main family is investigating. I should tell Dad together!”

“……”

The servant went back with slumped shoulders.

‘Monitoring this place is also your job. You should take responsibility for your own negligence.’

* * *

Misa looked at the small Calypso holding her sleeve with a dazed expression.

Clearly, she was an orca, so her eyes were slightly upturned, but more than that, her eyes were so big and round that her innocent face didn’t feel sharp at all.

Besides, she had an exceptionally lovely appearance that made one wonder if they could ever see such a child again in their life.

And how well she spoke….

‘A genius, you said.’

How surprised she was to see this little princess speaking so clearly on the first day.

The child was now staring at her.

“Now that it’s like this, please take care of me, Misa.”

“……”

Strangely, as Misa looked at Calypso smiling up at her, she somehow thought that this princess was acting as if she had known her for a long time.

But she soon shook off the thought.

‘It must be a misunderstanding.’

How could someone who is only three years old have met her somewhere?

Misa shook her head inwardly.

“Yes, Princess. I will serve you to the best of my ability.”

The important thing was that this small princess had chosen her.

Misa decided to focus on this one thing.

Since she was sent to this building, her role was to take care of the young whale shifters, but unfortunately, Calypso was the only one in this building right now.

Besides, Misa didn’t want to miss the opportunity to become the nanny of such a lovely baby princess.

‘Hmm, she’s quick-witted after all.’

Calypso judged that Misa was kind but not the type to lack awareness.

After all, it’s hard to survive in war if you lack awareness.

Considering she had survived for a long time in her previous life, even though she wasn’t in her direct unit, she could be said to have pretty good senses and social skills.

Calypso no longer intended to become the head of the family like in her previous life, but she changed her mind after meeting the white dolphin twins today.

‘I remembered. If I had received support from the white dolphin family in my previous life, it would have been easier.’

Among the whale shifters, the white dolphin shifters, along with the dolphin shifters, were particularly intelligent.

However, most of the white dolphin shifters had died in an incident before Calypso returned to the family.

The culprit was her uncle’s son, Bai Yan.

As a result, all the surviving white dolphin shifters left this land.

‘At least I don’t need to gather talents for the family or the war like in my previous life, but.’

She felt the need to have talents by her side until she left this place before the age of 10.

‘The only thing I’m worried about is.’

The maids that the servant left behind today. They were proper people from the main family.

What if they bully Misa?

In fact, that’s why she appointed Misa as a nanny, that is, a supervisor.

However, Calypso’s worries became meaningless three minutes later.

“Kyaa, Calypso-nim, you’re so cute!”

“Wow, your eyes are so big.”

“I… I already heard about Calypso-nim while working. I heard you’re really smart, but how can you speak so well…!”

“I……”

“Kyaa, your voice is cute too.”

“Oh my gosh, look at your tiny hands.”

Each of them with subtle silver hair didn’t seem to want to stop talking at all.

Therefore, Calypso had to put aside the two things: ‘They will definitely be picky’ and ‘Bullying’.

‘……What is this? I definitely got out of school, but it feels like I’m back in my class again?’

Besides, it was a treatment she had never received in her previous life, so she was even dazed.

Only after a long time of frantic admiration did Calypso learn their identities and names.

“Herring?”

“Yes! We are herring shifters.”

“This child and I are sisters.”

“I’m a childhood friend who grew up together.”

She thought their hair color was similar, and it turned out they were all herring shifters.

One of the shifters that make up the majority of aquatic animal shifters, and the most common species.

Those who travel in groups are generally diligent, gentle, and kind.

‘If this is the real thing… I don’t think I need to worry about not getting along with Misa.’

It’s true that she has just become the talk of the town and attracted attention, but her reality is that she has no influence.

Even so, the fact that they are smiling so brightly means they are really happy, right?

“You said you came from the main family?”

Their names were Eiya, Biyo, and Dede, respectively.

Eiya and Biyo are sisters. Dede is the two’s neighborhood friend.

The maids were newly impressed.

“Wow, Princess, you really speak well!”

“Are you really a genius?”

“Hey, how much has the rumor spread?”

Then the maids looked at each other.

“They say you’re an amazing genius.”

“That’s right, it was really surprising news even for us shifters. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone speak like this at the age of three.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Belus-nim and Atlan-nim weren’t like this either, were they?”

“Right, right!”

Just as the conversation seemed about to start again, I calmed them down for now.

“Okay, okay, this is Misa, as I said before. My nanny.”

“Yes, Princess! You’re the one who worked here, right? Nice to meet you. I’m Eiya.”

“I’m Biyo!”

“I’m Dede.”

“Ah… I’m Misa.”

“You’re the nanny, so feel free to speak comfortably!”

“Ah, I was also a maid, so……”

The herring sisters were so friendly that Misa and the maids learned about each other’s family relationships in less than a minute.

‘They’re even talking about what kind of fish they ate at their first birthday celebration…….’

Considering it took less than 2 minutes to get to the point of speaking informally, it was really amazing sociability.

Calypso felt refreshed.

Such maids in this desolate orca family.

It was a skill that could be believed even if they were hired through a social skills special admission.

“Then everyone stay here. Ah, it would be good if Misa could show the three people who came today their rooms and the building.”

“Oh, where are you going, Princess?”

“Shall we go together?”

“No.”

Calypso shook her head firmly.

“I’m going to Dad.”

Then the maids looked at each other and widened their eyes.

Oh my gosh, you’re talking with Pierre-nim. It must be true!

Was this rumor also true?

Calypso was dumbfounded at how she had come to read even their facial expressions in such a short time.

“See you all when I get back.”

……Still. The thought that the place she was returning to would become a little more noisy didn’t make her feel bad.

A few days later.

After finishing elementary education, I seriously reflected on the past time.

No, recent life isn’t bad.

It’s really not bad.

But…….

‘Is it okay to live like this?’

I stared at the mountain of clothes piled up in front of me and thought quietly.

My recent routine was very simple.

First, I go to elementary education institution. After all education is over, I go home.

I briefly stop by the house to eat the snacks prepared by the maids and go to Pierre’s house for work(?).

It was a repetition of this daily life.

Good, it’s more peaceful than any other life! It’s peaceful! Besides, I’m the best in the class!

I’m very satisfied, everything is so good.

“Master.”

Except for one thing.

“Hey, weren’t you living alone in this building?”

“So?”

My face frowned slightly.

I couldn’t understand at all. That’s because.

“No, but where did all these clothes come from?”

“There is a basic quota of maids and servant uniforms given to each building.”

“Those are those things?”

The fact that Pierre didn’t answer mostly meant affirmation.

No wonder they all had familiar shapes and were black.

“Am I really going to wash all of this?”

……This time again, there’s no answer, so it means affirmation.

‘Why does it seem like the training is getting crazier and crazier? Is it just my imagination?’
