Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 66

“Then let’s watch.”

“Yes, watch…… Huh?”

“The most fun thing in the world is watching a fight. Ah, do you happen to have any snacks?”

The herring sisters stared at me, dumbfounded.

Soon, one of them raised her hand, saying she had some, and handed me a pouch filled with snacks.

“Then let’s eat while we watch.”

Excellent. This is the best spot.

There was no need to worry about an attack.

Of course not. Pierre Aquasidel is here; why would there be?

It was like going to a Sunday soccer league game and finding out that the number one player in the FIFA rankings is on our team.

Sure enough, assassins came rushing in with hissing sounds.

A stream of water generated in the air was fast.

‘Oh, so that’s how he uses water. Not bad?’

Dad blocked over thirty people without even lifting a finger.

Considering that there are talents among them who can use the power of water.

It seems they’ve mobilized even the branch family’s talents…….

‘But still, even if my great-uncle is impatient, he shouldn’t be a fool, so why did he move like this?’

Thinking about it, it seems like too much of a gamble.

If he knew that Dad, Pierre, was here and protecting me, he wouldn’t be able to move rashly.

He could risk getting caught.

“Wow, you’re really amazing……”

“That’s right, I’ve only heard about Pierre, but this is the first time I’ve seen him.”

Before I knew it, both Eiya and Biyo, who had been full of worry, blinked their big eyes in admiration.

Dede was gaping, watching the spectacle.

“Well, my dad is definitely good at fighting.”

I also nodded, unable to take my eyes off him.

Dad didn’t lay a hand on the incoming attackers, but he casually flicked the foreheads of those who got too close, as if annoyed.

The problem was that even that sent them flying far away. It was amazing.

‘Wow, the way he applies the power of water is truly incredible.’

I need to watch this carefully.

Thinking this, I looked to the side, and Velos was also unable to take his eyes off the fight.

It was like, his eyes seemed to hold a hint of competitiveness, but also a trace of murderous intent, and an unknown emotion, making it a mysterious sight.

‘Anyway, all I have to do is wait, right?’

I was thinking this leisurely when.

“Kyaa, Princess!”

“Princess!!”

In the blink of an eye, navy blue clothes filled my vision.

I threw away the remaining snacks and jumped to the side.

A sharp dagger was stuck where I had been standing.

I quickly adjusted my posture in the air and landed on the ground, then pushed off with my feet and jumped up again.

Urat-chacha, a three-year-old’s kick of justice, you XX!

Thwack!

My foot landed squarely on the man’s solar plexus.

Not stopping there, I moved my other hand as well.

“Ugh! Ugh!”

The man, struck in the solar plexus and then the neck, collapsed.

As soon as the man fell, I turned my head sharply.

“Teacher!”

There was no way an assassin could have arrived here.

Unless that father of mine deliberately let them through!

Sure enough, Dad, who had been dealing with the assassins with a leisurely attitude, even turned his body towards me.

“You sent them on purpose?”

“Yes.”

Even in the midst of it, he skillfully caught the incoming attackers with streams of water.

“It’s practical training.”

Dad said lightly and waved his hand, causing a huge wave to rise and engulf the remaining assassins.

‘I don’t need practical training like this!’

I’ve already experienced that practical training for over 10 years!

Besides, there are ordinary beastkin [human-animal hybrid] maids here; what if they get hurt?

‘I wouldn’t have let that happen, though…….’

I grumbled and stomped on the fallen man.

“Everyone was surprised, are you okay?”

“Yes, yes……. I, I’m okay!”

“Me too!”

“Oh my…… Our princess is really amazing!”

“That’s right!”

“The way you jumped up was so cute and cool!!”

The herring sisters jumped up as if imitating me.

Did I jump like that?

I was still not immune to such affectionate affection, so I smiled awkwardly.

Maybe that’s why I didn’t notice it.

Neither did I, nor Velos, who was standing next to me as if it were someone else’s business.

Not even that dad of mine.

Complacency is the best way to bring down even the strongest, they say.

‘What is it?’

Suddenly, our eyes met. Velos’s eyes widened in a way that was unlike him.

And I was startled by the sensation of something grabbing my ankle.

Looking down, I saw a hand gripping my ankle.

‘……What, I definitely knocked out the guy on the ground, didn’t I?’

Slightly flustered by the unexpected situation, I quickly scanned the area…….

‘This guy isn’t the one I knocked down!’

A hand protruding from the dirt floor.

‘Could it be…… there was someone lying in ambush on the ground?’

Crazy.

Who thought this far?

It’s not a trick that my great-uncle Rotesen could come up with?

But by the time I thought this, it was already too late.

It wasn’t easy to shake it off.

At that moment, a stream of water shot up from the ground and pierced the hand gripping my ankle.

It wasn’t Dad’s. I could feel Velos’s power.

At the same time, a huge amount of mud covered me.

‘Mud wave! Could there be a catfish beastkin?’

Catfish live in wild riverbeds. Appropriately, catfish beastkins were good at digging in the ground or throwing mud.

As soon as I thought this, a tingling sensation was transmitted through my hand.

“Kyaa, Princess! Princess!”

“No, Princess!!”

At the same time, my vision went dark.

Electric shock, I know this well…… The feeling wasn’t good.

‘Electric eel? No, it feels different from them. This nauseating feeling is…….’

I know!

‘……I’m screwed.’

Even in the midst of it, I moved my other hand and hit whatever I could grab with all my might.

I felt something break with a crunch.

Soon, the force holding my wrist loosened, and I felt like my body was floating.

I had only closed my eyes for a moment. Nevertheless, when I opened them, I was standing in an unfamiliar place.

‘Where is this?’

I didn’t panic and calmly scanned my surroundings.

It was full of grass everywhere.

‘I saw a forest nearby while riding in the carriage earlier.’

The road we were traveling on was a wasteland, but a lush forest stretched out right next to it.

I pushed through the bushes and walked a little.

Sure enough, I could see the boundary dividing the forest and the wasteland, and the carriage I had been riding in was visible in the distance.

‘As expected, it’s a short-range teleportation ability.’

The tingling sensation I felt was a symptom I experienced before short-range teleportation.

There were some aquatic animal beastkins with this special ability.

Beastkins with noticeable abilities but only a few in existence.

Jellyfish.

‘My great-uncle colluded with jellyfish.’

When you think about it, it wasn’t that great of an ability.

Long-distance teleportation was impossible; it was just the ability to teleport or move someone short distances like this.

‘To summarize, the attackers were bait, and the real ones were the ones lying in ambush on the ground.’

Catfish dug spaces in the ground, and jellyfish waited together for the teleportation.

‘There must have been someone else here to hide their presence.’

Among aquatic animal beastkins, there are animals that specialize in stealth.

There were quite a few among the small fish species.

Their ability to protect themselves in nature manifested as a special skill.

They could not only conceal themselves but also conceal their companions.

‘If it were just catfish and jellyfish, I wouldn’t have thought much of it, but I didn’t expect them to think of concealment. For those humans to borrow the help of ordinary beastkins they always ignore.’

I narrowed my eyes.

This is a flexible way of thinking that my great-uncle and their conservative forces, who despise weak aquatic animals, could never come up with.

In other words, it’s definitely not a plan that my great-uncle could have come up with.

There was one person who came to mind.

‘Is it my great-aunt?’

Let’s stop thinking here for now.

Now that I’ve found the carriage, I could walk…….

I moved too much, and my ankle is slightly sore.

Just a moment ago, at the last moment, when my wrist was grabbed, I felt an ominous feeling from the tingling electric signal, so I instinctively moved my hand and smacked the guy who grabbed me.

It was probably a jellyfish beastkin.

That’s why there was a problem with the teleportation, and only I was dropped off in a different place instead of the same place as them.

‘Which means…….’

Sure enough, as I waited while holding my breath, I heard unfamiliar voices from around me.

“Damn it, where did the princess go!”

“Jellyfish, can’t you guys do anything right?”

“She’s definitely…… somewhere around here…….”

Footsteps rushed in.

I hid myself while suppressing my presence as much as possible.

‘It’s fortunate that my clothes are green.’

Besides, it wasn’t difficult to hide because my body was small.

There’s also the option of fighting, but I don’t know how many of them there are.

I can’t use the power of water. On top of that, my leg is throbbing slightly.

There’s no point in moving in a disadvantageous situation.

‘What do I do now?’
