Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 24

Avenor gritted his teeth and jumped up.

‘Oh, the power of water.’

As he dodged, a stream of water passed over his shoulder.

Fortunately, the other side wasn’t familiar with the power of water either, so it seemed they could only create one stream at a time.

“Master! Ack, ahh! I just finished mopping, why are you splashing water around…?”

“You should have placed the mop properly.”

“What do you mean, expect me to predict the future 3 seconds ahead? Ah, I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”

‘Goodness, so that’s why Master kept splashing water during cleaning. Was it to improve my agility?’

He used to complain so much during training, but now that it’s helping, he feels strange.

When the water didn’t work, Avenor charged again.

Even his running speed was outstanding.

It took less than 3 seconds to reach out and knock his brother down again.

This time, instead of teasing Avenor, I squatted down next to him.

“Have you ever had to dodge stones while running?”

“Wh-what reason would there be for that!”

“I have. That’s probably why you’re slow.”

I flicked Avenor’s forehead again as he lay there.

“Ouch!”

Is this how Dad feels when he looks at me?

I gave Avenor a pathetic look.

“I hit you because it hurts. Did you think I’d hit you for doing well?”

“……!!”

Eventually, Avenor teared up while lying down.

Even a baby Orca with psychopathic tendencies feels pain.

‘He doesn’t seem like he’s going to get up again.’

Finally, his spirit was broken. I stood up.

Avenor flinched but only managed to sit up.

His eyes, fixed on me, were full of injustice and confusion.

“How, how old are you? What makes you so strong?!”

Has he not heard when his own sister was born?

Or is he just not interested? Even the branch family members kindly told me earlier.

He was still muttering blankly, as if his mind was elsewhere.

“This doesn’t make sense… Did you take some strange medicine or something?”

“Let’s be honest. Don’t you think you’re just weak?”

“…….”

Avenor wore a very prideful expression but didn’t resist any further.

He acknowledged the difference in strength and imprinted the hierarchy into his body.

Even so, he kept glancing at me.

‘It seems like we can have a conversation now.’

I dusted off my skirt and squatted down next to Avenor.

Avenor flinched just from me getting close and looked at me with wary eyes.

‘Wow, look at those eyes. The will to pounce and beat me down again at any moment is burning brightly.’

It seems he’s not completely broken.

That’s right. He wouldn’t be my brother if he gave up this easily.

“You lost today, right?”

Avenor stubbornly stared at me.

Then, with a flared expression, he quickly opened his mouth.

“Who lost?”

“Call me ‘Sister’.”

“N-no way!”

I narrowed my eyes at Avenor and whispered.

“Don’t you want to get stronger?”

Avenor, who was about to say something, paused.

Then he stared at me intently. His eyes were filled with interest.

“…Is there a way to get stronger?”

Suddenly, a pitiful feeling sprouted in my heart.

Me and my three brothers were, in fact, abandoned.

Because our primary caregiver, Dad, doesn’t raise us.

Just looking at my aunt and uncle or my other aunt and uncle, they dote on their children so much.

Even though we only have Dad now that Mom is gone, we have to fend for ourselves.

In the end, Pierre’s great talent played a big role in how these brothers grew up.

In other words, they had to survive somehow with just that talent.

‘I had a good idea while dealing with Avenor.’

I looked at my hands.

I had more power than I thought.

I never imagined I could become strong enough to beat Avenor at this age.

This is actually… thanks to my master who fully developed my power.

A small breath was heard in front of me.

It was the breath of someone who had made a decision.

“…H-how do you get so strong, Sister?”

When I looked up, there was a face that looked just like mine.

Avenor’s blue eyes flickered with a strangely blue heat.

‘He finally killed his pride, huh?’

Greed, obsession. These are all instinctive emotions that I also have.

“Those guys from earlier, don’t hit them or kill them even if you see them again.”

At that, Avenor pursed his lips with a dissatisfied expression.

Did I say earlier that bullying was his hobby?

“Don’t even think about secretly killing them and burying them.”

If that’s his hobby, then his specialty was burying people.

“What, you, you, how do you know me so well when you’ve only met me for the first time, s-say… say… sir…?”

The baby Orca, who had learned the hierarchy, became polite.

Of course, the fact that I raised my fist probably played a big part.

“It’s better not to kill them. It’ll get found out anyway, you know? What do you think the Orca adults are?”

“…….”

I recalled the stories I heard from the subordinates about Avenor’s school days, the rest of them.

“After Avenor dealt with a classmate, he received a big punishment, right? But it turned out that the classmates insulted the Lord’s mother first… That fact wasn’t really accepted back then. That was when Bian was holding the heirship. After that, I remember Avenor became even more rampant. That guy trembles whenever he sees Avenor because he’s a victim.”

The big punishment Avenor received as a child.

‘I realized it was today when I was stopping him earlier.’

Thinking about it, it seems like it was exactly this time.

‘I’ve corrected the first moment this guy went astray, right?’

One of the reasons Avenor was hated by everyone in the 3rd playthrough was because of this behavior.

He deliberately makes people hate him, enjoys the attention, and then uses it as a legitimate reason to kill them.

‘Since I’m stronger than this baby Orca anyway, I should fix this.’

I rested my chin on my hand while still squatting.

“If there’s a way to get stronger, will you do as I say instead?”

“…….”

Avenor, who was staring at me, said quietly.

“I’ll decide after hearing it. Your strength is really ridiculous.”

“I am pretty amazing.”

“…….”

“Instead, the moment I tell you, you’ll do whatever I say. And no killing until you beat me.”

“N-no way!”

“Oh? Then live like this.”

I got up as if I had no regrets and dusted off my skirt.

“I’m going to go to Atlan next and say the same thing?”

Atlan. That was my second brother’s name.

The moment he heard that name, Avenor’s blue eyes lit up.

“N-no! I’ll do it! I can do it!”

“Good. Then you’ll do as I say?”

“…….”

I reached out my hand to Avenor.

Avenor frowned and tried to get up, avoiding my hand.

I smiled and tapped Avenor’s head as he was about to get up.

“My name is Calypso.”

“Calnipso?”

“Calypso.”

“Calypso…”

Avenor pushed my hand away but still stared at me.

“I know my brother’s name. Third brother. Avenor. Right? Nice to meet you. I really wanted to see you.”

“…….”

For a moment, Avenor’s expression became very subtle.

“…Until I beat you, really, I can’t kill anyone?”

“If you feel wronged, come at me again. You can do whatever you want when you beat me.”

Then a strange interest flickered in Avenor’s eyes.

‘Even in the previous playthroughs, that brother wasn’t the type to give up easily after losing once.’

This was the same for all three brothers, but the youngest brother was especially like that.

Those eyes were both murderous intent and a kind of interest.

In fact, it’s not the kind of attention that ordinary people would find pleasant.

‘But this body is different.’

Since I’m stronger, it doesn’t matter if that brother has a twisted interest.

“I don’t care what you do to win.”

“What do you mean?”

“For example, suddenly attacking at night, or ambushing me during a meal? Like this?”

Avenor’s face brightened at my answer.

The dark smile disappeared as if he had ever been disappointed, and his eyes sparkled.

“Good. No take-backs.”

…No, is it okay for a face with murderous intent while looking at his sister to be this pretty?

‘Our baby Orcas are unusually crazy, after all.’

I took Avenor’s hand.

“Okay, then I’ll tell you how to get stronger.”

Because my hands were small, only his fingers were caught, but this was fine too.

“First, there’s one thing you have to protect. If you protect this, you can do anything but kill, really.”

I smiled at the curious face of the beautiful boy.

I didn’t forget to wave my fist in front of his face as if threatening him.

“You must protect it.”
