Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 85

Black Orca Baby Lord (85)

85

‘Goodness, what would have happened if I hadn’t come here this time?’

I couldn’t imagine what Duke Dragon would look like when I met him at the age of 10.

Either way, a positive future wasn’t being painted.

The guests staying at the castle were preparing to leave. Those who lived near Dragon City had already departed.

Our Acuasiadel [likely a family or group name] also decided to leave as soon as preparations were complete. We were scheduled to move early in the morning, as soon as the day broke.

The Dragon Duke’s castle readily accepted this without finding it strange.

Rather, the servants and even the butler seemed to welcome our departure.

‘This is all groundwork to run away as soon as we bring the Dragon Duke back. Groundwork.’

I was going to help the herring maids [likely a term for kitchen maids] pack diligently until nightfall.

But what? The maids chased me away, saying, ‘We can’t possibly accept the help of our cute princess, even with her tiny hands!’

‘I’m stronger than you guys, though…….’

I was a little dumbfounded, but it didn’t feel bad.

With even the little time-killing activity gone, I was sitting blankly in the drawing room like an unemployed person when Bellus approached and suddenly asked what my scheme was.

“Scheme, you say?”

Isn’t that guy getting ready to leave? No. I guess he’ll take care of it himself.

I stared at him calmly and replied.

‘He’s unnecessarily perceptive.’

Even if he asks, he won’t get anything out of me.

“What are you talking about, suddenly appearing like that?”

“…….”

“Sit down. I had something to tell you anyway.”

“Something to tell me?”

Since he just stared at me without sitting down when I told him to, I just shrugged and continued.

“Yeah. It seems like I won’t be able to keep one of the promises I made to you. I clearly told you that I wouldn’t be there on the way back, right?”

“And?”

“I don’t think I can keep it.”

Then Bellus’s eyes changed.

They were so sharp that I flinched without realizing it.

“What does that mean?”

“I just changed my mind and decided to go back.”

“Together?”

“……Right? Why? Does riding in the same carriage bother you?”

“That’s not the question I asked.”

As expected, the power of water swirled around Bellus.

What was strange was that the shape of the water that floated up wasn’t aggressive at all.

The water, gathered in round bubbles like soap bubbles, moved with a fluffy shape.

‘……I heard that for people with strong sensitivity, the power of water is affected by the caster’s emotions.’

For example, in the caster’s anger, the water explosively increases or makes a sharp shape even if they don’t want it to. In severe cases, it explodes on its own.

‘But that doesn’t feel like a reaction to anger……?’

The bubbles, which were as pretty as soap bubbles and even sparkled in the light, took on a subtle color in the sunset.

A beautiful boy standing in between.

Honestly, it was a sight to admire, regardless of whether he was an ally or an enemy.

‘……What, why is that XX happy?’

Don’t tell me, if I go back, he wants to pulverize me at the mansion? What is it?

Bellus, who had a puzzled face as if he didn’t know what I was staring at, soon discovered his power.

Then, the power of water disappeared in an instant.

I thought he would be embarrassed, but he’s calm, even brazen, as if it’s nothing.

‘Does this guy’s poker face resemble his dad’s?’

Somehow, I think I understand what Dad said about him being just like him.

“Then what about the head position? You said we’re going back together, not staying in a place like this.”

“A place like this……. It’s a pleasing title, though.”

This is really a place I dislike so much.

“It’s the same as what I told you. I’m not going to be the head.”

So rest assured and you do it, huh? I’m really not going to do it.

If I safely bring the Dragon Duke home, I’m willing to stay cooped up with the Dragon Duke as is.

If Bellus wants, I don’t mind living in an even worse place.

What does it matter? If the Dragon Duke grows up safely, he’ll take me home.

“……Okay, that’s something to see.”

For some reason, Bellus turned his back instead of saying more.

As soon as he did, he turned his head as if he had just remembered and said this.

“I don’t know what you’re hiding, but if you tell me during the journey, I’m willing to turn a blind eye at least once.”

“……Huh?”

“You have a strange habit.”

A habit? What habit?

I ended up making a bewildered expression, but Bellus, who finished speaking without having to worry about being caught, turned around and left without looking back.

‘He’ll turn a blind eye if I just tell him?’

What, what a windfall?

I don’t know what kind of whim it is, but thank you.

I didn’t think it was that strange.

He was a guy who sometimes had these whims from the previous rounds [referring to previous timelines or loops].

It was night.

It was the same that I waited without sleeping today, but the difference was that I wasn’t alone in my room.

“Is it time to go?”

“Yeah! It’s now.”

Almost the same time I took Toos out, Dad picked me up.

“Um, I can jump down by myself?”

“Why bother when there’s a good tool next to you?”

“I guess so.”

I don’t know why he’s being a tool himself, but if you’re a tool, wouldn’t you be the most expensive tool in the world?

I’ve never laid on it, but it was as comfortable as a non-shaking bed.

While I was thinking nonsense, I landed on the floor before I knew it.

‘I feel it every time, but the application ability of the power of water is really amazing.’

Even if they have the same power of water, each orca can have different specialties.

For example, when I awakened, I had a tremendous amount of power…… that is, the size of the power I could handle was enormous, and Bellus was more sensitive.

And Dad seems to be good at applying power.

No, I haven’t seen Dad’s real power yet. I haven’t seen the total amount of power.

It took me more than 20 minutes to run when I ran, but when I was held by Dad, I arrived in less than 10 minutes.

‘This taxi…… is useful!’

Because he said he was a tool, I couldn’t help but think of a bullet taxi [a very fast taxi].

Anyway, when I arrived at the place I had come with Toos, Dad suppressed his presence.

“Indeed, there is a top predator among the land dwellers nearby.”

“Who is it? No, more than that, is it okay to talk like this? Of course, you’ve blocked the sound, right?”

Dad looked at me with a face that said, ‘Would I have done that?’, so I smiled shamelessly and raised my thumb.

“Our teacher is cool. He tore the night air [meaning he’s impressive or skilled].”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it’s coming.”

When I turned my head, there was a figure that appeared smoothly.

And there was also a figure next to him grumbling and stomping his feet.

Oh, it’s the same beastman?

‘Is the same person working for two days? Is the next one changing?’

I was rather relieved. I trust Dad, but if black panthers like them come out, the fight could get too big.

The more attention we draw, the more disadvantageous it is for us to bring the Dragon Duke!

So it was easier for the hyena, who was not very strong even among the top species.

“Teacher, no fighting. We have to go in and out as quietly as possible.”

“I know.”

If a fight breaks out, those who use the Dragon Duke will surely check on the safety of the Dragon Duke first.

Then there’s no point in trying to bring him secretly.

They have to realize it as late as possible.

To do that, the best thing is to bring him without getting caught.

Waiting quietly, I felt the hyena and chameleon beastmen moving to another place like yesterday.

‘Okay, then through the dog hole…….’

I approached the same place as yesterday and soon tasted a sense of despair.

Oh, the hole is blocked!

‘Why, why? In just one day?’

Cold sweat ran down my back. Fortunately, I wasn’t alone today.

Dad came and stood behind me, so I immediately explained the situation.

My explanation was urgent because I didn’t know when the hyena beastman or the chameleon beastman would come back.

“Do you remember the Dragon Duke’s room?”

“I remember!”

Even if I get lost, I can call Toos if I just go in!

“You just need to get in, right? Then that place would be good.”

When I raised my head following Dad, I saw a broken window on the second floor.

Looking at the size, it was enough for someone of my build to enter.

Dad took off his robe and wrapped it around me.

“I don’t feel like it, but…….”

“Huh?”

“You wouldn’t want to get hurt by something sharp, would you?”

“I don’t really dislike it, no…… it’s not good either. That much is…….”

“I don’t like it.”

Dad floated me up, wrapped tightly in his robe.
