Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 46

Episode 46

“What is it?”

It was a cold voice, but I didn’t care.

I’ve lived a life where it’s been harder to find a voice that wasn’t cold to me.

“I know that the Orca family’s motto and values are that the strong do whatever they want. In other words, the strong can do anything. Is that correct?”

“It’s a waste of breath to state the obvious.”

I smiled and got up from my seat.

‘Hmm, I’m not tall enough.’

I glanced at Dad. He seemed a little lenient with me today, right?

Dad, you have to let me get away with this just once.

I stepped on my dad’s thigh and climbed onto the desk.

Ah, now I can see well.

The vassals stirred at my sudden action, but I didn’t care.

“Cool……!”

I think I heard Agenor’s strange exclamation, who had been silent all along.

I ignored it.

“So, Grandma. The biggest issue in the agenda that you brought today was ultimately ‘fighting’. And I was originally planning to attend this Supreme Disciplinary Committee as a ‘victim.’ You can ask Lyla, who participated as the chairwoman, and the other two.”

“Objection, Grandma!”

“Grandma, I was listening while Bai Yan was talking.”

I shouted loud enough to drown out Bai Yan’s voice.

“If you can fairly uphold this, I can show you something very interesting.”

You son of a bitch, Bai Yan, your turn is over. It’s my turn now.

“I allow it. Bai Yan, shut your mouth.”

“But, Gran……!”

“Hey, Bai Yan. Didn’t the head of the family tell you to be quiet?”

When my usually quiet eldest aunt spoke in a monotonous but firm voice, Bai Yan flinched and stepped back.

‘If I had just let him babble, he would have been scolded by Grandma. What a pity.’

I got another chance.

“Well, since opinions differ with Bai Yan, let’s just talk about the fight. Every fight has a winner and a loser. The important thing is, I was the winner of this fight, Grandma.”

I confidently raised my hand to my chest.

“Grandma, as you can see, Bai Yan didn’t come alone that day. He brought more than ten colleagues, and about four of them attacked Agenor, who was with me, and the rest attacked me.”

It seems that it was divided into 3:7, but I slightly increased the number on Agenor’s side.

“I beat the opponents in this brawl and won, Grandma.”

I continued before Bai Yan disobeyed Grandma’s warning and started babbling again.

“Ah, of course, opinions on victory may vary. I am three years old this year, and the fact that I am alive and breathing and participating in this place without any problems is proof that I am the winner, isn’t it? I won against the Orcas who were attending the intermediate institution [a school for those not yet in the main family] at this age.”

Everyone became quiet.

That must be it. They must have realized my age now.

“Bai Yan’s witnesses are saying it until their mouths hurt, right? That Pierre’s daughter fights disgustingly well. Then I am the winner, and according to the will of the Orca family, I just did what I wanted as the winner, so what’s wrong here?”

“…….”

All the testimonies so far have been said on the assumption that I fought those guys on equal terms.

Their testimony now supports my opinion in the opposite way.

“Like this, I understand very well the will of our ancestors and the strict will of the head of the family, that only the strong who have been passed down in our Orca family control everything.”

But with these words, I cannot overturn the claim that I was the perpetrator and swore at my parents, and that I started the fight.

I wasn’t ready to end it here.

“But Grandma, if only the strong do whatever they want, how will the many vassals here live? Not everyone can be an Orca, and you, wise Grandma, know this very well, so you must have set the rules.”

“…….”

“Orcas have a role to look after the aquatic animal humanoids.”

“…….”

“In other words, the esteemed Grandma designated early on that deciding everything through combat should be limited to Orcas. That is the virtue of the strong.”

“……You know quite a lot. For a three-year-old.”

Yeah. For a three-year-old. Right?

If you live this three-year-old life for the fourth time, this is what happens.

I pretended not to hear Grandma’s cold sarcasm and said clearly.

“I leveled the class in just one day after entering Alpha class, the best class among the whale classes in the junior institution. And knowing that it is the role of the Orca to look after the whales according to the will of the head of the family that I learned early on.”

“…….”

“That day, in that fight, I was just protecting the child in my class. The reason the fight broke out was because Bai Yan threatened to capture and kill my classmate just because he was next to me, and I couldn’t stand it and accepted the fight.”

I raised my voice slightly.

“Esteemed Grandma, where is my fault here?”

I’m just the winner, the victim, and the person who protected my classmate.

The vassals who were listening to the newly presented circumstances stirred for a moment.

Except for the Orca branch families here, everyone is a general aquatic animal humanoid.

Unlike Orcas who live as strong people all their lives, they are general humanoids who sometimes become weak.

For such humanoids, the fact that there is an innocent victim in the middle is bound to cause agitation.

Those guys cleverly, or rather intentionally, ignored the fact that Luga and Luba were hurt.

“Do you have any witnesses?”

What was coming has come. I took a short breath.

‘There’s no way I have a witness like that guy.’

The only people on my side at that time were the Luga Luba twins, who were also victims, and Agenor, who fought with me.

I glanced at Agenor.

‘Agenor, who fought with me, can’t play as much of a role as the servant that side put forward as a witness.’

When I nodded to Agenor, Agenor’s obsessive eyes sparkled.

“Is it my turn?”

“Don’t whisper, just come forward.”

Agenor raised his hand.

“Esteemed Grandma. Long time no see.”

“Yes, baby. I heard that you were caught up in this fight?”

Grandma’s voice softened a little.

Agenor nodded and recounted almost the same circumstances as I did.

“I understand what you’re saying, baby. In the end, you’re also a party to the fight. Then you’re not a witness, so are there any other witnesses?”

There was no way there would be.

I probably couldn’t bring Luga and Luba, who are still being treated, here.

I had no intention of bringing them.

“There are no witnesses.”

“None?”

But anyway, I was confident that I could win this fight even without a witness……!

It was the moment when I was about to open my mouth again while receiving Grandma’s fierce gaze.

“Head of the family, may I dare to say a word at this meeting?”

Following the voice that suddenly intervened, I turned my head and saw a person.

The place where he was standing was the second tier from the bottom here.

A position close to the head of the family. It was a good seat.

‘That person is……?’

I widened my eyes when I saw the person who got up from his seat.

It was a woman with snow-white hair.

Her bangs were curly as if she had put padding in them, and she had eyes with pupils larger than her irises.

She had a very cute impression, but her expression was cold and resolute.

I noticed the woman’s identity only after seeing the man sitting next to her.

“There are times when you keep your mouth shut.”

“I’m sorry.”

Luga and Luba’s father was sitting next to the woman.

He made eye contact with me and greeted me.

Then that person is, Luga and Luba’s mother.

She must be the head of the Beluga family.

‘She doesn’t look like her mother at all.’

The mother looked quite similar to her original animal, the beluga whale.

Her expression was brutally cold compared to her cute impression.

“Yes, get up and tell me what you have to say. You must be prepared if it’s nonsense.”

“Is there any doubt? It’s just that I and my partner are not third parties in this case, so we got involved. The classmate in the story that the Princess mentioned is the story of my twin sons.”

The chairman stirred once at the woman’s claim.

I was surprised by something else.

‘The beluga whale humanoids were a family with enough power to be in that position?’

I didn’t know. Of course.

As I’ve said several times, in the previous episodes, I only returned to this family after they were destroyed.

In the 1st and 2nd episodes, I was sold off before I even had any contact with them.

“Esteemed leader, I would like to attend this agenda as a witness.”
