Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 56

The strange thing was, he looked elegant but somehow didn’t quite seem like a girl.

Anyway, why was he here?

Surprisingly, judging by how he straightened up from leaning against the wall, he seemed to have been waiting for me.

Why would that guy wait for me?

But that guy wouldn’t have any other business at the beginner institution.

It seemed like he came to find me.

“First, just checking, did you come to find me?”

“That’s right.”

“Why me?”

“I wanted to have a conversation.”

A simple answer came back to a simple question.

I frowned and glanced down the hallway.

All the kids had left after school, so the hallway was empty.

“I don’t know what kind of conversation it is, but make it short. What’s the matter?”

“…….”

If it were the previous timeline, maybe, but in this life, there was no real reason to meet him.

In fact, just a week ago at the family meeting, I’d considered trying to correct that guy’s personality before leaving.

But after being able to go to the Dragon Festival, I abandoned that plan.

‘He’s capable, so he’ll live well enough, I guess.’

Besides, if things go well and I stay at the Dragon Duke’s house and don’t come back, it would be beneficial for the firstborn too.

‘Maybe Agenor or that guy will be the head of the family in this life?’

Bellus had a cold face, but he stared at me and then made a slightly strange expression.

“……Why are you in a battle stance?”

“You said we were going to talk, right?”

“So?”

“Your conversations aren’t the kind you have with words.”

Did he think I didn’t know him?

Bellus looks like that, but he’s not the type to have a calm conversation.

“Come on.”

My first older brother was the most cautious person among the siblings.

‘When he moves, it’s either when he’s sure he can win, or when he’s sure he can mess someone up.’

Bellus blinked slowly.

“……No.”

Hmm? That’s the face he makes when he hears something absurd.

“Calypso Aquasider. There’s no way I’d pick a fight with you in the hallway in broad daylight.”

“Liar. We can just move the location for the fight.”

I frowned slightly, my eyes full of distrust.

“You’re saying you didn’t come to fight? You only move when you’re sure.”

“You talk like you know me well.”

I answered nonchalantly.

“If you put it all together, there’s plenty of information about the great firstborn in this mansion, so how hard could it be?”

“That’s true, for sure.”

Bellus crossed his arms.

I realized that this wasn’t a good sign.

Crossing his arms is what he does when he’s uncomfortable.

‘Am I even on Bellus’s radar now?’

I took a step back, ready to strike first if necessary.

Strike first and win! ……I don’t know if it will work on that guy, but the place must be here.

‘We can’t move the location. After seeing Baiyan’s punishment, there’s no way he’d attack me here.’

Fortunately, this was a hallway.

Just like with Baiyan, if a fight broke out, he would be at a disadvantage.

‘I thought he’d come at night, but he came right out like this.’

That means there’s a higher chance he’ll try to take me somewhere.

‘Should I watch out for my neck first?’

“You seem to be misunderstanding; I really didn’t come to fight.”

“Liar. You’re uncomfortable right now, aren’t you?”

“……I don’t know how you knew that, but.”

Bellus narrowed his eyes slightly.

At the same time, a stream of water flowed out next to Bellus and swayed gently.

“I’m not uncomfortable; I just thought you were strange. I thought you’d know since you heard the rumors about me? I’m nothing more or less than a quiet model student at the intermediate institution.”

“…….”

The reason I closed my mouth wasn’t because I agreed. It’s because I was dumbfounded.

……You’re a model student? I’d rather believe an orca [killer whale] is a herbivore.

“I’ve never even had an unnecessary fight unless someone picked one with me.”

The thin stream of water became thicker, and at the same time, more streams of water burst out in an instant.

“How did you know I liked to fight?”

I was horrified.

‘Crazy, how many streams of water is that guy making right now!’

The power of water could be gauged by how many streams of water one could create simultaneously.

At least that guy was definitely not at the level of the same age group.

He’d already chew up most adults.

“What orca doesn’t like to fight!”

“Hmm, was there anyone who talked after I dealt with them? Who is it? Who’s wagging their tongue after getting beaten so badly?”

……Look at this guy rattling off.

He’s rattling it off like he wants me to hear it.

‘I messed with the wrong person.’

I was embarrassed when that guy said something about being a model student, but I gradually realized.

At least the current Bellus wasn’t the same personality as the one I knew.

How would I have known he was pretending?

Also, a story I happened to hear in the previous timeline was that Bellus was quiet at the educational institution.

I didn’t know that meant he was living while pretending!

“Who else would it be? Get rid of the water. Are you going to call the chairman?”

“…….”

Judging by this, it doesn’t seem like he’s killed anyone yet.

I know he’s been doing something behind the scenes.

What the heck did he do behind the scenes that made him go into overdrive right away?

“Right now, I don’t like fighting, so even my grandmother says I’m a boring guy.”

“……What does that have to do with me?”

At that moment, the stream of water that had been swaying around Bellus’s head disappeared all at once.

“Saying I don’t want to fight with you is the truth. I’m not stupid enough to make the same mistake as Baiyan.”

“Who knows if you’ll suddenly grab my neck and beat me in a place where no one is around?”

“I was definitely thinking about that…… It’s amazing. It’s like you’re reading my mind?”

“Why are you admitting it again? You crazy bastard.”

“That’s the first time I’ve heard that.”

Bellus replied with a pretty and cold face.

I answered whether he did or not.

“It doesn’t seem like the conversation will be short; are you going to keep being so nervous?”

Bellus took about half a step back, as if he realized that I wouldn’t budge from here.

“Okay. I wanted to tell you that Baiyan becoming like this is a great opportunity for me, so I have no intention of doing anything foolish.”

“Doesn’t that make you want to eliminate more rivals?”

“…….”

“I’m still weak and easy to deal with. If you inflict permanent damage or kill me when you’re stronger than me, it’s beneficial to suppress me in advance.”

Bellus was slightly surprised.

“Amazing. Uncle and Aunt would definitely think that way.”

A faint smile crossed Bellus’s face.

“And I think so too.”

Look at that crazy bastard, revealing his true nature and smiling.

I made a dumbfounded expression.

“Okay, nice to meet you. You saw well at the family meeting that you’re the only one who’ll get screwed if you attack here, so I’ll let you go, go.”

“But I’m really interested in you, so I came. Calypso Aquasider.”

“Interested? In me?”

After hearing him say this, I wondered if it was true.

But after making a murder and violence announcement a little while ago, he’s saying he’s interested.

It doesn’t sound friendly at all.

Bellus didn’t budge.

Instead, he just answered with a calm expression this time.

‘If I break something here, can I call Lyla or a teacher?’

I realized it with the stream of water a little while ago.

No matter how much I prove my excellence, in that guy’s position, I’m still a pyramid [low-level student] who hasn’t even made a stream of water.

Maybe he just sees me as annoying debris stuck in his teeth?

Annoying, but if he can’t get rid of it yet, he’ll endure it.

On the other hand, he’s confident that he can get rid of it at any time.

That’s why I easily realized that Bellus wasn’t really interested in me.

“I don’t welcome that interest, so take it back. And I don’t want to have a conversation either.”

“Why?”

“What you’re really interested in isn’t me; it’s Dad.”

In the previous timeline, Bellus always regretted one thing even after becoming my subordinate.

“I regret not being able to fight that person who was said to be the strongest. I always wanted to fight him.”

“Who?”

“Pierre Aquasider.”

Bellus, who called my dad, who was just someone who died early, by his name.

Orcas all have someone they’re obsessed with at least once.

At that time, it seemed like the person Bellus had obsession and lingering feelings for was Dad.

‘What if that was his goal since he was a child?’

I said clearly.

“If you have something to say, go directly to Dad, not me. He’ll listen to you well now.”

Judging by how he’s getting along with Agenor, he won’t kick him out even if the firstborn goes.

“If you want to fight, go that way. There won’t be anything that violates the rules.”

“I don’t know why you’re saying that. I’m not interested in Pierre Aquasider. It’s you.”

The moment I heard this, I suddenly became curious.

“Hey, why are you talking about Dad like that?”
