Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 223

223

Hauser was dumbfounded.

“You’re attending the meeting too.”

The day after confessing everything he knew, Calypso came and said that to him.

She had an expression that seemed to say, ‘A day’s rest was enough for you, right?’

The way she looked, just like how he remembered the Clan Leader, almost made him laugh.

Like a madman.

It was fine up to the point of attending.

He didn’t care about the piercing gazes directed at the unfamiliar him.

Atlan Acuasidel’s gaze was strange, but Calypso had already told him that Atlan also had his memories, so he brushed it off.

However, the face that was exactly the same as he remembered was feigning ignorance.

That was enough to make him temporarily forget about the treasure that had been occupying a corner of his mind.

A pale face. Despite being a dolphin, he reluctantly covered his nasty-tempered eyes, which looked like a mutation, with glasses.

He couldn’t hide the rebellion that leaked out despite his refined appearance and neat attire.

‘What is that guy doing right now?’

Even though he clearly had his memories, ‘Levy Dolphin’ was brazenly pretending not to know.

* * *

“Welcome.”

It took exactly four days to reach Velos.

The eldest [referring to the eldest sibling] was personally waiting in front of the erected fence.

The knights who had been fidgeting nearby finally recognized me after I took off my hat and revealed my face.

“Why do they look like that?”

“Why else? How could they stand not wanting to throw up when they see that damn older brother looking so unsightly?”

“Ah. So you’re saying you can’t adapt to the eldest showing a kind side?”

“Precisely.”

As if interpreting the second child’s words, Levy applauded with a blank expression, as if he was impressed.

Atlan looked at the two of us like we were crazy.

Then he snatched me away. Before I knew it, I could see a barrier of water surrounding only the two of us.

“Hey, is that bastard really not remembering anything? Why is he sticking to you and pissing me off just like before?”

“Why are you making such a fuss? He said he doesn’t remember. We confirmed it together, didn’t we?”

“Tch……”

“And do you have energy to spare? Hurry up and undo this?”

The second child slightly ground his teeth, but released the water shield that blocked the sound.

“That bastard is still acting up today.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice if you developed a habit of speaking more gently to your younger sibling, eldest?”

“I’m already being gentle enough to you.”

So he’s using all his gentleness on me, leaving nothing for the second and third children.

I looked at Velos.

The eldest was openly exuding an aura that said, ‘I’ll only be like this to someone stronger than me.’

I shrugged my shoulders.

“Where’s Dad?”

“He went to Narpa.”

“Narpa, as in, the north?”

“Yeah.”

It was a city located further north from this city.

It was also the territory of one of the orca cadet families, and one of the top one or two cadet families.

“Why there?”

“His mother’s grave is there, I heard.”

“Huh?”

I tilted my head.

‘Wasn’t it this guy who told me my mother was alive?’

As if he realized what I was thinking, I heard him continue. He said he tried to dissuade Dad, but he didn’t listen.

Well, he had been steadily saying it whenever he had time, but Dad didn’t believe Mom was alive.

He even said he saw her death directly. At some point, the eldest stopped insisting.

“I could make a vow of the sea [a solemn oath], but I don’t want to shatter that firm belief that much.”

The reason I agreed was because Dad seemed desperately stubborn when it came to Mom’s death.

Besides, even if Mom was alive, we wouldn’t know where she was.

‘In Korea, long-term disappearances were treated similarly to deaths.’

How is this any different from being dead?

“How are things going?”

We entered the city together. Velos briefly explained the current situation.

Unlike the base I went to, this place had failed to self-destruct.

‘Heh, they completely removed the self-destruct device.’

That meant they were going to face us in a full-fledged battle.

It wasn’t like the sharks.

“Can those guys even win against us in battle?”

“That’s a bit strange.”

“Why?”

“When they want to fight, their fences disappear.”

I blinked.

“Disappear? Don’t tell me……”

It wasn’t because this fact was surprising. We had already experienced something like that before.

The eldest looked around, then put up a water barrier to block the sound, just like Atlan had done earlier.

“‘Peacocks’?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Peacocks. These guys could create illusions that charmed people.

When these guys gathered, they could use large-scale illusion abilities.

These guys also used this specialty to hide castles.

“According to the information you gave me, it seems this place has also joined hands with the landlubbers [a derogatory term for land-dwelling people].”

“……Those treacherous bastards.”

Not keeping it a fight between aquatic animals and cowardly dragging in landlubbers?

Moreover, it wasn’t like sharks weren’t discriminated against by landlubbers.

It was just ridiculous.

To win against orcas, they were willing to submit to those who disgustingly saw them as fishy?

“Good.”

The appearance of the peacocks was surprising, but that was it.

I had struggled with those guys in the 3rd round, but.

“We won, didn’t we? What’s so difficult about doing something we’ve done once?”

I was the one who led that battle to victory.

“I’m being careful, Clan Leader. Don’t be careless……”

“Who’s being careless?”

I crossed my arms and smirked.

“If those bastards came out cowardly……”

I grinned.

“We can be even more despicable, right?”

They gave us the justification.

At the end of a conversation reporting the situation for a while, Velos hesitated for a moment.

Calypso’s pretty face tilted roughly at the unusual behavior of her eldest brother.

“What is it, you. If you have something to say, say it.”

Velos chuckled at the tone that would suit even a back alley thug.

Whether it was a back alley thug or a gangster. It was his younger sister and liege who sublimated even this tone into something noble.

“The guy you brought along.”

Calypso hadn’t told Velos about Hauser. Not yet.

However, Velos seemed to have recognized him at a glance, just like Atlan had.

Calypso briefly shared Hauser and what Hauser had reported.

“There are an unusually large number of guys who remember.”

It was something she agreed with.

Velos nodded to himself, as if he had thought of something.

“If he’s a humpback whale, he was an excellent warrior, so he’ll be helpful.”

“Well, yeah.”

“The way he keeps staring at you, he looks like he has something to say to you.”

“Hmm? Really? He’s always looked at me like that, though?”

Oh dear. She was too dense.

It was a fact she knew, but. Velos smiled slightly.

She became weak to her subordinates and comrades who entered her fence [those she trusts and cares for].

When it came to the opposite sex, she couldn’t even recognize the expression of a man who was agonizing over having something to say to her.

It was revealed here, just like someone who had been forced to live only as a warrior, administrator, and Clan Leader.

“Ah, he definitely requested to be alone with you……. But I didn’t have time because I was too busy rushing over here.”

Calypso nodded, recalling Hauser’s request.

“Thanks. You reminded me.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Okay. Then let’s start the work from tomorrow. I’ll send a messenger once in the evening.”

Calypso turned around. A meeting will be held in the evening with everyone here.

“You’re not going to live the same way in this life too……, are you?”

Velos spoke quietly to her back.

“What?”

“Are you going to refuse dating and marriage like you did in the last life?”

“When did I refuse? Geez. It’s because I didn’t have time. Ti-ime.”

Calypso turned her body halfway.

“Well, I’m going to do whatever I want this life. Dating and marriage too?”

“The partner?”

“Hmm?”

“You know the humpback whale’s feelings, don’t you?”

Calypso was dense, but she couldn’t not know the feelings of a guy who confessed directly.

“I have to answer in this life? I know that too.”

Her answer was refreshing.

“You’re meddling in things you never used to do?”

That’s right. The brothers she met as enemies in the 3rd round.

Among them, Atlan became more and more meddlesome with Calypso after being defeated and coming under her command.

Velos was not like that.

“In the last life, we started as enemies and ended as comrades and subordinates. I thought we started as family in this life.”

Calypso’s dumbfounded expression turned a little blank. Then she laughed.

“Okay. I understand. Brother.”

Velos also smiled quietly.

A warm warmth lingered between the siblings for a moment.

“Ah, but do you happen to have a room with two beds in the Lord’s castle? Or even a very big one would be nice.”

“Why?”

However, it didn’t last long.

“Is it because of the maid? But you didn’t bring a maid, did you?”

“Not the maid.”

It was because of Calypso’s shocking declaration.

“Because there’s someone to share the room with.”

* * *

“You know the humpback whale’s feelings, don’t you?”

I knew, but it was a story I had put off because I didn’t think it would come so soon.

Velos pointed this out accurately.

On the way back after finishing the conversation with my eldest brother, someone blocked my path.

It was a large figure.

I smiled, looking at the hair with wavy ends.

“Why?”

It was Hauser.

“……I dare to ask if you could spare some time?”

“You don’t have to ‘dare’ to ask, you can ask comfortably.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“Aren’t you and I not that kind of master and servant?”

“…….”

Hauser lowered his darkly sunken eyes.

“……I have something to give you.”
